A controller was designed to control the damping force generated by the tapered channel MR damper. Furthermore, the damping force expression of the tapered flow mode MR damper was derived, and the damping force was introduced into the vehicle dynamics model. In order to improve the vehicle posture, an integrated structure/control platform combining response surface model, current controller and vehicle dynamics model was established. Based on integrated platform, the vehicle dynamics model and Fourier transform were adopted to extract the time-frequency characteristics of the design objective under different working conditions. In the optimization process, the damper structure was optimized by taking the time domain values as the constraints and the frequency domain values as the optimization goals. The results show that the proposed integrated design method of MR damper can obtain its global optimal structural parameters under different driving conditions. The acceleration root mean square (RMS) values and frequency domain values of vehicle were both reduced to varying degrees, achieving the purpose of improving the vehicle posture.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80985741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model adopts a dual-axis human-body dynamic model and considers the nonlinearity of the primary and secondary suspensions and the wheel–rail contact condition. Additionally, the input wheel/rail irregularity excitation data are measured for a high-speed railway line in China. According to the model, the root-mean-square (RMS) values of the acceleration for the passenger head at different positions of the car body are determined, and the effects of the car-body loading conditions, speed, and seat support parameters on the head vibration characteristics are studied. The results indicate that the RMS value is the highest for the passengers sitting in the front row near the window seat, followed by those sitting in the middle row of the car body. There are small differences in the RMS value between the passengers sitting on the left and right sides of the same row in the car body. At a certain speed, the track irregularity stimulates the rolling and pitching motions of the train. Therefore, effective methods should be implemented to avoid the inherent characteristics of the car body. Although an increase in the seat support stiffness intensifies the high-frequency vibration, it reduces the low-frequency vibration in the range of 0–15 Hz, reducing the RMS value of the head acceleration. When the train is loaded, the effect of passengers on the car body is similar to that of a damper or mass element, which can reduce the car-body vibration and enhance the ride comfort.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87966678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of spin softening, for healthy blade at the turbine’s speed over 1000 RPM, natural frequencies increase significantly in both first flap-wise and chordwise bending modes. In both cases of STF and SOF, for the cracked blade, the deviation from the healthy blade in the natural frequency increases with increasing crack size, maximal in a crack size of 90%. It is also observed that irrespective of crack size, deviation in natural frequencies as compared to healthy blade increases as spin speed increases in the cases of chordwise bending mode (Mode II) and higher-order overlapped mode IV, and in the case of fundamental torsion mode (Mode III), higher-order overlapped mode V and VI natural frequencies decrease in both STF and SOF cases.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82600228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The expansion of special applications of elliptic gear transmission system and the improvement of transmission accuracy requirements put forward higher requirements for its transmission performance. Although many works have been presented to study the transmission error of cylindrical gear transmission system, a few works were focused on the transmission error of elliptic gears for the reason of the inconsistency of the tooth profile of the elliptic gear pair, the difficulty of establishing a transmission error model and obtaining the dynamic backlash. To overcome this problem, the theoretical model of the transmission error and backlash of the elliptic gear pair is proposed and established based on the meshing line incremental method. The ellipse gear transmission test-rig is built and the transmission test is carried out on it. Finally, the correctness of the theoretical model is verified. The results show that the dynamic backlash of the elliptic gear pair can be obtained through the bidirectional transmission error curve. The dynamic transmission error has a negative correlation with the speed and has a positive correlation with the load torque. The dynamic backlash shows an increasing relationship with the increase of speed and load torque. The research results of this article can provide a certain theoretical basis for the anti-backlash control of the elliptic gear transmission system and the improvement of transmission performance.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86725663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TVD device consists of a flywheel and a damper disk, with interposed some elastomeric samples which react for relative angular displacements of the two disks. The dynamical parameters of the TVD can be properly tuned by varying the magnetic field surrounding the MRE springs to mitigate the torsional oscillations of the flywheel, causes of many undesired inconveniences as critical speeds or vibro-acoustic issues. The present study promotes the use of the MRE torsional vibration damper to reduce the annoying vibroacoustic phenomenon of “gear rattle” arising in the unloaded gear pairs of the gear box, during and after the rapid clutch engagement transients in the vehicle start-up phase and is conducted on a simplified automotive driveline equipped with a dry clutch. The possibility of quickly tuning the mechanical properties of the MRE-TVD, makes this device particularly eligible for suppressing the above disturbance, adapting to the various operative conditions of the automotive driveline. Results of the analysis, by the help of a Gear Rattle Index (GRI), demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed device in reducing the vibroacoustic phenomenon during the transient phases of the vehicle start-up, until the vehicles speed conditions are reached.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88942455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, almost all previous works that used sinusoidal waviness took the Hertzian solution as the calculation method, which is not an accurate method based on Johnson’s formulation since the changes in the curvature at the sinusoidal contact surfaces. To overcome this issue, a new dynamic model of a rigid rotor system with the waviness in the support bearings is proposed. To provide a more accurate nonlinear contact force formulation for the sinusoidal waviness profile, the model used the Johnson’s extended Hertzian contact model to replace Hertzian contact model. This model can consider the time-varying curvature between the mating sinusoidal surfaces. The lubricating condition in the support bearing is also considered. A comparative study on the effects of Hertzian contact model, simplified Hertzian contact model, and Johnson's extended Hertzian contact model on the nonlinear vibrations of the rotor system is developed. The effects of the waviness amplitude and orders on the vibrations of the rotor system are discussed. The comparative simulations show that the proposed model can provide a more reasonable approach for predicting the vibrations of the rigid rotor system. Moreover, the simulations give that the nonlinear contact forces in the support bearings can greatly affect the system vibrations.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90996346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The stability of the system and the synchronous characteristics of two exciters are affected by material motion. However, those effects of material on two exciters vibration system were studied very little. Based on the special background, a mechanical model that two exciters vibration system considering material motion is proposed. Firstly, the system's dynamic equations are solved by using Lagrange principle and Newton's second law. Then, the motion stability of the system when material with different mass move on the vibrating body is analyzed by Poincar e ′ mapping and numerical simulation methods, and the motion forms of the material are also studied. Meanwhile, the frequency responses of the vibrating body are analyzed. Finally, the influence of material on the phase difference of the two exciters is revealed. It can be concluded that with the mass ratio of the material to the vibrating body increasing, the system's motion evolves from stable periodic motion to chaotic state, the synchronization ability of two exciters decline, and the unpredictability of abrupt change about the phase difference increases. Further, the uncertainties of both the abrupt change of phase difference and the collision location affect each other and eventually lead to the instability of the system.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72764445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
