This case study refers to turbine-generator with retrofitted turbine rotor. Vibration problem occurring after the retrofit was mainly due to high vibration from exciter side. However, repeated test run and operation during scheduled maintenance caused high vibration from generator bearing, and post-overhaul test run before turbine vibration correction caused oil whip on the bearing. This case study shows how to analyze vibration condition of high turbine generator vibration detected during the post-overhaul test run and vibration condition of offline and online data to reflect it on establishing maintenance schedule and overhaul correction procedure. Vibration data could be acquired during steady load operation or even with varying speed and load. Each data is important for machinery condition evaluation. This case study shows that the vibration data during extreme condition is the key factor in analysis, which helps to find the machinery problem.

A Possibility of combustion instability on longitudinal mode has a high level at large scale of L/D. Solid propellant has a metal particle and a grain of control to pressure oscillation. Solid rocket motor in slotted-tube grain controls pressure oscillation of longitudinal mode. Slotted-tube grain restrains longitudinal 1st pressure oscillation. But cavity volume of aft. insulation ablation amplifies 2nd pressure o scillation by vortext shedding. A study has suppressed combustion instability and vortex shedding by modified 4 slotted tube solid rocket motor design.

Acoustic coupled combustion instability, which is one of the most undesirable phenomena in the development of liquid propellant rocket engine, can cause serious damage to a rocket itself, and must be avoided by all means. Unfortunately, KSR-III rocket went through combustion instability during engine start at the propulsion test article No.2. To resolve the problem, time sequence (cyclogram) has been changed, and baffle system has been applied. In consequence of change, stable combustion was achieved.

The characteristics of lifted laminar propane flames diluted with nitrogen have been investigated experimentally to elucidate self-excitation and the effects of flame curvature. Flame oscillation modes are classified as follows: oscillation induced by heat loss, a combination of oscillations induced by heat loss and buoyancy, and a combination of the oscillations induced by heat loss and diffusive thermal instability. It is shown that the oscillation induced only by heat loss is not relevant to the diffusive thermal instability and hydrodynamic instability caused by buoyancy; this oscillation is observed under all lift-off flame conditions irrespective of the fuel Lewis number. These experimental evidences are displayed through the analysis of the power spectrum for the temporal variation of lift-off height. The possible mechanism of the oscillation induced by heat loss is also discussed.

The addition of swirl is a common technique used in premixed combustors in order to gain stability of the combustion with the improvements in mixing characteristics. recent experimental studies have observed that the addition of swirl oxidizer flow can effectively reduce the combustion instability in hybrid rocket. Investigation was continued to analyze the effect of the swirl on the internal flow of hybrid rocket engine main combustion chamber. The flow influenced by wall blowing as a representation of fuel evaporation interacts with swirling flow. Swirl angle increases, the amplitude of the combustion pressure decrease as the unstable combustion processes. These results suggest that the oxidizer swirling flow by the swirl angle causes the change of the turbulent flow characteristics inside the combustion chamber and suppresses the factors causing the combustion instability.

The wake-induced vibration and proximity-induced vibration of two interfering circular cylinders in tandem are investigated experimentally, using an elastically supported cylinder and a fixed cylinder in uniform crossflow. Dynamic responses and flow periodicity in wake are measured to investigate the effect of system parameters on aerodynamic instability. The parameters include the free stream wind velocity and the position of two interfering circular cylinders. The oscillating behavior of the amplitude of the elastically supported cylinder is changed by varying the position, the relative gap spacing between two interfering circular cylinders and the reduced velocities. In small gap spacing between the elastically supported cylinder located to upstream and the circular cylinder fixed to downstream, the fluidelastic instability is founded. The vibration amplitude decreases notably as gap spacing between two interfering circular cylinders becomes large. The dynamic behavior at g/D-4.0 is similar to that of the single circular cylinder.

최근 고속 회전기계에 사용되고 있는 공기호일 베어링은 동압형 기체 베어링으로 매우 안정적이고, 보통의 저널 베어링에서 발생할 수 있는 불안정한 진동을 최소화 할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 높은 안정성 및 축 자체에 자동 조절 기능을 가지고 있어서 극저온 기계 및 고속 회전기계에 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 고속 회전기계는 축의 기동 및 정지 시, 위험속도를 안전하게 통과하기 위해 위험속도에서의 진동을 억제하여야 하고, 운전 가능한 회전수를 증가시키기 위해서 로터 시스템의 동적 해석이 필요하다.(중략)

구조물에 있어서 진동은 소음을 유발하며 구조물을 불안정하게 만드는 요인이 된다. 특히, 저주파 진동은 구조물에 미치는 영향이 크므로, 유연구조물의 저주파 진동모드들을 우선적으로 제어할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 압전세라믹을 작동기로, 압전필름을 감지기로 사용하였고, 능동 제어 알고리즘의 하나인 적응형 디지털 PPF(Positive Position Feedback) 제어기를 구성하여 유연 외팔 평판과 열린 박스 구조물에서 저주파 진동을 감소시켰다.(중략)
