Cracks and voids are common defects in rotating systems and are a precursor to fatigue-induced failure. Identifying the presence and growth of cracks is a critical concept for the health monitoring and diagnostics of such systems. A combined computational and experimental study of the vibration characteristics of a composite hub flywheel rotor system with a cracked hub disk is presented. First, experimental testing of both in-plane and out-of-plane vibration characteristics using a rotor with a composite disk hub supporting a relatively massive rim was conducted. A crack was deliberately introduced into the hub disk during fabrication. Based upon these results, a finite element (FEA) model was developed to further explore the relationship between natural frequencies and crack properties. Finally, a simplified theoretical model for the primary in-plane vibration mode was developed and used in a series of parametric studies. Good agreement was found between the model predictions and the experimental results. It was observed that the presence of a crack tends to affect both the magnitudes and distribution of the rotor natural frequencies. Certain primary frequencies for rotors with a crack are smaller than for those without a crack. In addition, the frequency values of associated with the “in-crack” direction are generally smaller than those associated with the “off-crack” direction, introducing a non-symmetry into the rotordynamics which can serve as an indicator for rotor health monitoring.

The automotive heating and ventilating air condition (HVAC) system, when vibrating, can generate various types of noises such as humming, hissing, clicking and air-rushes. These noises can be characterised to determine their root causes. In this study, the humming-type noise is taken into consideration whereby the noise and vibration characteristics are measured from various HVAC components such as power steering pump, compressor and air conditional pipe. Four types of measurement sensors were used in this study - tachometer for rpm tracking; accelerometer for the vibration microphone for the noise; and sound camera for the visualization measurement. Two types of operating conditions were taken into consideration - they were “idle” (850 rpm) and “running” (850-1400 rpm) conditions. A constant blower speed was applied for both conditions. The result shows that the humming noises can be determined at the frequency range of 300-350 Hz and 150-250 Hz for both idle and running conditions, respectively. The vibration of the power steering pump shows the worst acceleration of 1.8 m/s2 at the frequency range of 150-250 Hz, compared to the compressor and air conditional pipe. This result was validated with the 3D colour order and sound camera analyses, in which the humming noise colour mapping shows dominance in this frequency range.
