Study on torsional vibration characteristics of compressor flexible rotors considering contact clearance by HUANG Zhiqiang, WANG Jie, LI Tao, LI Gang, WANG Shuo, MU Dequan

“…The torsional vibration of reciprocating compressor crankshaft system can cause major problems such as burnt bearings and shaft fracture.In order to understand the torsional vibration response of the compressor rotor system, a torsional vibration mechanics solution method for the flexible rotor system of the compressor considering the bushing-pin collision clearance and the oil film clearance of the crankshaft-bearing was proposed, which provided a new idea and method to avoid the natural frequency of the crankshaft system.Based on the multi-body dynamics and Hertz contact theory，the torsional dynamic response of the crankshaft system with collision clearance was solved.The results show that the torsional vibration amplitude of the 4th column crank pin is the largest, the torsional angular displacement amplitude is 0.051°, and the dynamic angular velocity peak value is 156.026 rad/s.Based on this, the crankshaft-bearing oil film clearance was considered, the oil film pressure of sliding bearings was calculated by the finite difference method and the over-relaxation iterative method, and the dynamic characteristic coefficients of bearings were solved according to pressure perturbation method.The effects of the bushing-pin collision clearance and the crankshaft-bearing oil film clearance on the dynamic response of the crankshaft system were comprehensively considered in the modal analysis of the crankshaft system under preload.The resonance of the crankshaft with and without oil film clearances was compared. …”

Design and characteristic analysis of fiber optic Fabry-Perot sensor for static ice strain monitoring by Mengxing HUANG, Yuhang LI, Guanjun WANG, Jianxun LIU, Lu YAN, Longjuan WANG

“…Sea ice is one of the important natural disasters.A new method based on optical fiber Fabry-Perot sensor for ice strain measurement was proposed to meet the needs of ice strain monitoring.A high sensitivity optical fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor with thin-film structure was realized by means of pressure assisted arc discharge method,and the sensor was encapsulated by metal tube /PDMS /AB epoxy glue combination method.On this basis,the static internal strain characteristics of ice in the process of melting and freezing during -15℃～0℃ was studied.Experimental results show that this proposed thin-film fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor has good sensitivity characteristic in ice strain monitoring,it is believed of great value for the monitoring of remote distributed sea samples.…”
