This paper predicts the rotordynamic force coefficients of tilting pad journal bearings (TPJBs) with ball-socket pivot and compares the predictions to the published test data obtained under load-between-pad (LBP) configuration. The present TPJB model considers the pivot stiffness calculated based on the Hertzian contact stress theory. Due to the compliance of the pivot, the predicted journal eccentricity agree well with the measured journal center trajectory for increasing static loads, while the early prediction without pivot model consideration underestimates it largely. The predicted pressure profile shows the significant pressure development even on the unloaded pads along the direction opposite to the loading direction. The predicted stiffness coefficients increase as the static load and the rotor speed increase. They agree excellently with test data from open literature. The predicted damping coefficients increase as the static load increases and the rotor speed decreases. The prediction underestimates the test data slightly. In general, the current predictive model including the pivot stiffness improves the accuracy of the rotordynamic performance predictions when compared to the previously published predictions.

일반적으로 공작기계 주축계에 대해서 요구되는 기본적인 항목들로는 고강성, 고감쇠, 고회전정밀도, 저발열, 장수명 등이 있다. 최근에는 이러한 기능들과 함께 가공능률과 가공정밀도의 향상을 도모하기 위해서 고속절삭을 실현햐ㄹ 수 있는 공작기계 주축계의 고속화, 즉 고속 주축계에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고속주축계의 동특성을 체계적으로해석하기 위해서 주축회전수의 영향을 고려한 유한요소모델(finite element model)을 도입하였다. 특히 주축은 세장비가 비교적 자기 때문에 Timoshenko보 이론으로, 베어링은 유한한 폭을 가지고 있기 때문에 반경방향 외에도 모멘트방향의 강성 및 감쇠특성을 가지고 있는 것으로 모델화 하였다. 그리고 고속주축계의 설계조건들을 도출하기 위해서 동특성 해석결과들로 부터 고속주축계의 모드매개변수들인 고유진동수와 감쇠비에 대한 주축 회전수, 베어링의 지지특성, 베어 링의 간격, 주축재료의 내부감쇠율 등의 영향을 고찰하였다.

This paper is to investigate the effects of the asymmetrical support stiffness on the stability of a supercritical driveshaft with asymmetrical shaft stiffness and anisotropic bearings. The equations of motion is derived for a system including a rigid disk, a massless flexible asymmetric shaft, anisotropic bearings and a support beam. The Floquet theory is applied to perform the stability analysis with the variation of the support stiffness, the shaft asymmetry, the shaft damping and the shaft speed. The results show that the asymmetric support stiffness is closely related to the stability caused by primary resonance as well as the supercritical operation. First, the stiffness variation can stabilize the system around primary resonance by weakening the parametric resonance from the shaft asymmetry. Second, it also improve the stability characteristics at a supercritical operation when the support stiffness is not so high relative to the shaft stiffness.

스퀴즈 필름 댐퍼 (Squeeze Film Damper, SFD)는 구조가 단순하면서도 감쇠성능이 우수하여 구름베어링에 지지된 고속회전체의 댐퍼로 이용되고 있으며 특히 대부분의 항공기용 터보엔진에 장착되어 고속회 전체의 댐퍼로서의 우수성을 보여주고 있다. 또한 동력기계의 단위 무게당 고출력화 경향으로 인하여 회전체의 경량화와 고속회전은 더욱 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이에따라 기계의 회전속도를 제 1차 또는 제 2차 위험속도(critical speed)이상까지 상승시켜야 하므로 SFD의 활용범위는 앞으로도 점차 증가할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 Swift-Stieber 경계조건을 적용하여, 공동현상이 발생하는 무한 폭 SFD의 유막력과 감쇠계수를 구한 후 강성 및 유연회전체의 정상상태 응답을 해석함으로써 공동현상이 회전체-SFD계의 진동에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 한다.

Multispan simply supported bridges and multispan continuous bridges take a large portion of bridges in Central and Southeastern United Sates. The superstructure of the bridges are supported by steel rocker bearings. In general, the rocker bearings are modeled with ideal rollers or Coulomb fricition in seismic analysis. However, the rocker bearings have rocking action on pintles after rolling some distance. This rocking action may have considerable effect on the seismic performance of bridges. This study compares the effect of expansion rocker bearings models on a multispan simply supported and a multispan continuous bridge. Since the ideal roller model produces larger responses than the rocking model, its use is undesirable. However, the fricition and hardening model does not have much difference from the responses of the rocking model. In addition, the use of the tow models is convenient in seismic analyses of bridges. Although the rocking model can obtain more exact responses, its behavior is complicated and it may induce the conversion problem in time history analysis because it includes the abrupt changing of stiffiness. The friction and hardening model of expansion rocker bearings is therefore recommended in sesismic analysis.

In this study, a basic durability assessment was performed by selecting the main part of a trial product of a shale shaker, which is one of components for a mud circular system. For a preliminary durability assessment, it was assumed that the lifetime of the bearing for the vibrator motor and the stiffness of the support spring are affected by the vibration when the motor operates continuously. In the case of the motor, the initial p-p level was 0.72 g, but after 100 hours of operation, the p-p level was rapidly increased to 1.26 g. Bearing defects could be estimated through ball defect frequency analysis. In the case of the spring, the stiffness of the spring was reduced by approximately 3.78% at the end of 2,000 hours of the fatigue-durability test by applying excitation conditions to shale shaker body. In the future, we will analyze the influence of the particle removal efficiency of the shale shaker.

In this study, a three-pad gas foil journal bearing with a diameter of 40 mm and an axial length of 35 mm was modeled to predict the static and dynamic performances with regard to an increasing mechanical preload. The Reynolds equation for an isothermal and isoviscous ideal gas was coupled with a simple elastic foundation foil model to calculate the hydrodynamic pressure solution iteratively. In the prediction results, the journal eccentricity, journal attitude angle, and minimum film thickness decreased, but the friction torque increased with the preload. A quick comparison implied a lower load capacity but higher stability for a three-pad gas foil bearing compared to a one-pad gas foil journal bearing. The direct stiffness coefficients increased with the preload, but the cross-coupled stiffness coefficients decreased. The direct damping coefficient increased in the horizontal direction but decreased in the vertical direction as the preload increased. These model predictions will be useful as a benchmark against experimental test data.

In order to meet the growing demands for higher storage density as well as lower noise level, the spindles in hard disk drives are to be supported by hydrodynamic bearings in place of conventional ball-type ones. However, the existing models are inappropriate to apply to accurate prediction of vibration characteristics because the HDD spindle tends to take quite a complex shape to secure its performance and cost-effectiveness. In this context, this paper treats analysis of free and forced vibrations of such-designed HDD spindles based on more sophisticated models and validations via experiments. Remarkably, to this end all the components in the system are modeled as elastic adopting the finite element method.

The effects of the main bearing stiffness combined with vertical non-torque force on the input load and shaft deflection of a gearbox were investigated for the three-point suspension drive train of a wind turbine. A finite element analysis model for the drive train was studied experimentally, and its applicability to the present study was verified. The results show that, as the main bearing stiffness is increased, the input load of the gearbox decreases, whereas the input shaft deflection increases. The stiffness component for the pitch moment has the largest influence on the gearbox input load. Although the gearbox life increases at a higher main bearing stiffness, the economic efficiency and durability of the entire drive train system should also be considered in the selection of the main bearing stiffness.
