Prediction of gear wear for the estimation of solar array drive dynamic behavior

The rotational instability of the flexible solar array will lead to the instability of satellite attitude and affect the imaging accuracy of high-resolution remote sensing satellite payload. In this article, the dynamic behavior of the permanent magnet synchronous motor in driving the flexible solar array is studied. The equation of the permanent magnet synchronous motor driven by the microstep driving method is simplified by coordinate transformation and linearization. The dynamic model of the permanent magnet synchronous motor in driving the flexible solar array is established by the fixed-interface mode synthesis method. According to the classical control theory, a method to determine the control parameters is presented. The dynamic model and the method are demonstrated by simulation and experiment. The results show that the predicted frequency error of the dynamic model of the flexible solar array driven by the permanent magnet synchronous motor is less than 5.5%, and the amplitude error of the corresponding frequency is less than 9.7%. The method of determining control parameters is effective and feasible, which provides effective support for engineering practice.

Stiffness And Damping

Today's modern internal combustion engines are increasingly focused on downsizing, high fuel efficiency and low emissions, which requires appropriate design and technology of turbocharger bearing systems. Automotive turbochargers operate faster and with strong engine excitation; vibration management is becoming a challenge and manufacturers are increasingly focusing on the design of low vibration and high-performance balancing technology. This paper discusses the synchronous vibration management of the ball bearing cartridge turbocharger on high-speed balancer and it is a continuation of papers [1–3]. In a first step, the synchronous rotordynamics behavior is identified. A prediction code is developed to calculate the static and dynamic performance of “ball bearing cartridge-squeeze film damper”. The dynamic behavior of balls is modeled by a spring with stiffness calculated from Tedric Harris formulas and the damping is considered null. The squeeze film damper model is derived from the Osborne Reynolds equation for incompressible and synchronous fluid loading; the stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated assuming that the bearing is infinitely short, and the oil film pressure is modeled as a cavitated π film model. The stiffness and damping coefficients are integrated on a rotordynamics code and the bearing loads are calculated by converging with the bearing eccentricity ratio. In a second step, a finite element structural dynamics model is built for the system “turbocharger housing-high speed balancer fixture” and validated by experimental frequency response functions. In the last step, the rotating dynamic bearing loads on the squeeze film damper are coupled with transfer functions and the vibration on the housings is predicted. The vibration response under single and multi-plane unbalances correlates very well with test data from turbocharger unbalance masters. The prediction model allows a thorough understanding of ball bearing turbocharger vibration on a high speed balancer, thus optimizing the dynamic behavior of the “turbocharger-high speed balancer” structural system for better rotordynamics performance identification and selection of the appropriate balancing process at the development stage of the turbocharger.
