In this paper. the dynamic characteristics of a super high-speed tilting-pad air bearing(TPGB) used in a turbo expander with high expansion ratio are analyzed. The dynamic behavior and stability of a rotary system supported by two journal air bearings are investigated numerically. The transient response of the shaft is obtained by simultaneously solving the equation of motion of the shaft and the dynamic Reynolds equation. The stiffness and damping coefficients of the bearing are calculated from the loading coefficients of the bearing are calculated from the loading capacity. shaft velocity and displacement by using a curve fitting method. The natural frequencies of the 1st and 2nd rigid modes can be calculated from these coefficients. The theoretical method of a rigid rotor system is verified by experimentsut.

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.

씨일의 마모에 따른 터빈펌프의 동적거동을 고찰하기 위해서 10단 터빈펌프를 대상으로 유한요소법에 의한 동특성 해석을 수행하였다. 베어링과 씨일의 동적계수를 회전속도의 하수로 계산하였으며, 이를 동적거동해석에 적용하였다. 해석결과 씨일들은 그 간극이 커질수록 강성 및 감쇠계수가 크게 떨어지고 누설량이 급격히 늘어남을 확인하였다. 따라서 1차 위험속도(1st Critical Speed) 이하에서 충분한 분리여유(Seperation Margine)를 가지고 정상운전되도록 설계된 터빈펌프라 할지라도 장기적 사용시 마모가 진전됨에 따라 계의 1차 위험속도가 변하여 운전속도에 접근할 수 있으며, 아울러 이 때 씨일의 감쇠가 크게 줄어들어 급격한 진동의 증가를 가져올 수 있음을 보였다.

Internal damping plays an important role in some rotor dynamic systems with the use of various materials for shafts, for example, composite material. However, although the effects of internal damping have been investigated for a couple of decades, there are several different internal damping models in use, none of which are accepted as the most reliable model. The purpose of this paper is to compare the results of dynamic analysis of rotor systems with several different internal damping models. The exact dynamic element method is used to formulate and analyze the problem. The simulation results provided in this paper may be useful for the dynamic analysis of high rotor systems subject to significant internal damping.

The shear modulus of 3-bar lap rubber shear dynamic test specimen is investigated through incremented shear strain tests. The shear force-strain relation of rubber specimen is also calculated by ABAQUS using hyper-elastic material properties of high damping rubber. The analysis results are compatible with shear dynamic tests of 3-bar lap rubber specimen and 1/8 reduced-scale laminated rubber bearing

A rotordynamic analysis is performed for a high thrust class liquid rocket engine turbopump considering the dynamic characteristics of ball bearings and pump noncontact seals. Complex eigenvalue problems are solved to predict the rotating natural frequencies and damping ratios as a function of rotating speeds. Synchronous rotor mass unbalance response and time transient response analyses are also performed to figure out the rotor critical speed and the onset speed of instability. From the numerical analysis, it is found that the rear bearing stiffness is most important parameter for the critical speed and instability because the 1st mode is turbine side shaft bending mode. The pump seal effect on the critical speed is enlarged as the rear bearing stiffness decreases and the front bearing stiffness increases.

In order to reduce seismic responses of a structure, additional dampers and vibration control devices are generally considered. Usually, control performance of additional devices are investigated for optimal design without variation of characteristics of a structure. In this study, multi-objective integrated optimization of structure-smart control device is conducted and possibility of reduction of structural resources of a building structure with smart top-story isolation system has been investigated. To this end, 20-story example building structure was selected and an MR damper and low damping elastomeric bearings were used to compose a smart base isolation system. Artificial earthquakes generated based on design spectrum of low-to-moderate seismicity regions are used for structural analyses. Based on numerical simulation results, it has been shown that a smart top-story isolation system can effectively reduce both structural responses and isolation story drifts of the building structure in low-to-moderate seismicity regions. The integrated optimal design method proposed in this study can provide various optimal designs that presents good control performance by appropriately reducing the amount of structural material and damping device.

Rain-wind induced cable vibration can cause the damages in the cable-stayed bridge due to very little inherent damping characteristics and low fundamental frequency. External Dampers attached to stay cables near anchorages have been shown to be effective means at short stay-cables. However, installation locations of external dampers are limited to a particular range due to aesthetic and practical reasons for very long stay-cables. A recent study by the authors showed that the stay-cable vibration system can perform better than the optimal passive viscous damper, thereby demonstrating its applicability in large cable-stayed bridges. This paper extends the previous study on the taut string representation of the cable by adding cable sag and inclination. The response of the proposed system compared to those of the cable with and without an external damper, and the movable anchorage system provides very effective mitigation of cable vibration. Cable damping ratio is seen to be remarkably reduced by movable anchorage system for a wide range of cable sag. This result shows that the sag effects of the proposed system should be considered.

Recently, the importance of rotordynamic stability has been increased because of the tendency to employ ultra-high speeds in rotating machinery. In particular, the dynamic characteristics of gas bearings for high-speed rotating machinery need to be identified at various excitation frequencies to predict the rotor's behavior. In this study, we perform dynamic loading tests for gas-foil bearings (GFBs) to determine the bump foil structure and an air-film combined bump-foil structure for varying excitation frequencies. We calculate the dynamic characteristics from the measured force and displacement data. The air film is generated by a pressurized air supply. Based on the results, the stiffness coefficients of the bump structure and the air-film combined bump structure increased, while the damping coefficients decreased at increasing excitation frequencies. Further, the stiffness and damping coefficients of the air-film combined structure show lower values than those of the bump structure. Consequently, we identify the frequency-dependent dynamic characteristics of the bump structure and the effect of gas film on the dynamic characteristics of GFBs. Furthermore, to reveal the effectiveness of the proposed method, we perform experiments and discuss two methods of extracting the dynamic characteristics from the measured data.

A lot of researches have been done in order to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the aerostatic porous bearing, most of them used analytical approaches and only a few used experimental approaches. However the experimental condition used in the previous experimental approaches was not realistic, where the porous bearing has been fixed and only the mass supported by the bearing was allowed to move vertically. The dynamic stiffness obtained by those experimental setups may be different with the real case where the mass and the bearing move together in horizontal direction. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of the horizontally moving aerostatic circular porous air bearings are investigated by the experimental approach. The experimental apparatus was designed to realize its real operating condition used in most industrial applications. The experimental results were compared with the previous experimental ones.
