Research on the dynamic response of connecting rod bearing bush wear of reciprocating machine under variable working conditions

As a type of reciprocating machine, the reciprocating compressor has a compact structure and many excitation sources.Once the small end bearing of the connecting rod is worn, it is easy to cause the sintering of the bearing and the abnormal vibration of the body.Based on the characteristics of poor lubrication state and complex force of connecting rod small head bearing, a mixed lubrication model considering oil groove feed was established, and the dynamic simulation of the reciprocating compressor model with lubricated bearings was carried out;considering different speeds and gas load conditions, the law of the impact of the eigenvalues changing with working conditions was explored.The fault simulation experiment was carried out by selecting representative working conditions, which verified the correctness of the simulation method.The study found that two contact collisions between the pin and the bearing bush occurred in one cycle, the collision impact was more severe under the wear fault, and the existence of the gap made the dynamic response more sensitive to the change of working conditions.This research provides ideas for the location and feature extraction of fault symptom signal angular segments in the process of complex measured signal processing.

Feature Extraction Method Based on Pseudo-Wigner-Ville Distribution for Rotational Machinery in Variable Operating Conditions

In the case of fault diagnosis for roller bearings, the conventional diagnosis approaches by using the time interval of energy impacts in time-frequency distribution or the pass-frequencies are based on the assumption that machinery operates under a constant rotational speed. However, when the rotational speed varies in the broader range, the pass-frequencies vary with the change of rotational speed and bearing faults cannot be identified by the interval of impacts. Researches related to automatic diagnosis for rotational machinery in variable operating conditions were quite few. A novel automatic feature extraction method is proposed based on a pseudo-Wigner-Ville distribution （PWVD） and an extraction of symptom parameter （SP）. An extraction method for instantaneous feature spectrum is presented using the relative crossing information （RCI） and sequential inference approach, by which the feature spectrum from time-frequency distribution can be automatically, sequentially extracted. The SPs are considered in the frequency domain using the extracted feature spectrum to identify among the conditions of a machine. A method to obtain the synthetic symptom parameter is also proposed by the least squares mapping （LSM） technique for increasing the diagnosis sensitivity of SP. Practical examples of diagnosis for bearings are given in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The verification results show that the features of bearing faults, such as the outer-race, inner-race and roller element defects have been effectively extracted, and the proposed method can be used for condition diagnosis of a machine under the variable rotational speed.

Establishment of Dynamic Model for Axle Box Bearing of High-Speed Trains Under Variable Speed Conditions

In this study,a dynamic model for the bearing rotor system of a high-speed train under variable speed conditions is established.In contrast to previous studies,the contact stress is simplifed in the proposed model and the compensation balance excitation caused by the rotor mass eccentricity considered.The angle iteration method is used to overcome the challenge posed by the inability to determine the roller space position during bearing rotation.The simulation results show that the model accurately describes the dynamics of bearings under varying speed profles that contain acceleration,deceleration,and speed oscillation stages.The order ratio spectrum of the bearing vibration signal indicates that both the single and multiple frequencies in the simulation results are consistent with the theoretical results.Experiments on bearings with outer and inner ring faults under various operating conditions are performed to verify the developed model.

Numerical Simulation of Axial Inflow Characteristics and Aerodynamic Noise in a Large-Scale Adjustable-Blade Fan

Numerical simulation are conducted to explore the characteristics of the axial inflow and related aerodynamic noise for a large-scale adjustable fan with the installation angle changing from−12°to 12°.In such a range the maximum static(gauge)pressure at the inlet changes from−2280 Pa to 382 Pa,and the minimum static pressure decreases from−3389 Pa to−8000 Pa.As for the axial intermediate flow surface,one low pressure zone is located at the junction of the suction surface and the hub,another is located at the suction surface close to the casing position.At the outlet boundary,the low pressure is negative and decreases from−1716 Pa to−4589 Pa.The sound pressure level of the inlet and outlet noise tends to increase monotonously by 11.6 dB and 7.3 dB,respectively.The acoustic energy of discrete noise is always higher than that of broadband noise regardless of whether the inlet or outlet flow surfaces are considered.The acoustic energy ratio of discrete noise at the inlet tends to increase from 0.78 to 0.93,while at the outlet it first decreases from 0.79 to 0.73 and then increases to 0.84.

Health status assessment of axial piston pump under variable speed

The axial piston pump usually works under variable speed conditions.It is important to evaluate the health status of the axial piston pump under the variable speed condition.Aiming at the characteristic signals obtained under different wear levels of the port plate,a feature signal extraction method under variable speed conditions is proposed.Firstly,the combination of complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise(CEEMDAN)energy spectrum and fast spectral kurtosis principle is used to accurately extract the intrinsic mode function(IMF)component containing the sensitive information of the degraded feature.Then,the aspect ratio analysis method of the angle domain variational mode decomposition(VMD)is used to process the feature index containing the sensitive information of the degraded feature.In order to evaluate the health status of the axial piston pump under variable speed,the vibration reliability analysis method for axial piston pump based on Weibull proportional failure rate model is proposed.The experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately evaluate the health status of the axial piston pump.

Component modeling and updating method of integrated energy systems based on knowledge distillation

Amid the backdrop of carbon neutrality, traditional energy production is transitioning towards integrated energy systems (IES), where model-based scheduling is key in scenarios with multiple uncertainties on both supply and demand sides. The development of artificial intelligence algorithms, has resolved issues related to model accuracy. However, under conditions of high proportion renewable energy integration, component load adjustments require increased flexibility, so the mathematical model of the component must adapt to constantly changing operating conditions. Therefore, the identification of operating condition changes and rapid model updating are pressing issues. This study proposes a modeling and updating method for IES components based on knowledge distillation. The core of this modeling method is the light weighting of the model, which is achieved through a knowledge distillation method, using a teacher-student mode to compress complex neural network models. The triggering of model updates is achieved through principal component analysis. The study also analyzes the impact of model errors caused by delayed model updates on the overall scheduling of IES. Case studies are conducted on critical components in IES, including coal-fired boilers and turbines. The results show that the time consumption for model updating is reduced by 76.67 % using the proposed method. Under changing conditions, compared with two traditional models, the average deviation of this method is reduced by 12.61 % and 3.49 %, respectively, thereby improving the model's adaptability. The necessity of updating the component model is further analyzed, as a 1.00 % mean squared error in the component model may lead to a power deviation of 0.075 MW. This method provides real-time, adaptable support for IES data modeling and updates.

Automatic Efficiency Optimization of an Axial Compressor with Adjustable Inlet Guide Vanes

The inlet attack angle of rotor blade reasonably can be adjusted with the change of the stagger angle of inlet guide vane (IGV); so the efficiency of each condition will be affected. For the purpose to improve the efficiency, the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) controller is designed to adjust the stagger angle of IGV automatically in order to optimize the efficiency at any operating condition. The A/D signal collection includes inlet static pressure, outlet static pressure, outlet total pressure, rotor speed and torque signal, the efficiency can be calculated in the DSP, and the angle signal for the stepping motor which control the IGV will be sent out from the D/A. Experimental investigations are performed in a three-stage, low-speed axial compressor with variable inlet guide vanes. It is demonstrated that the DSP designed can well adjust the stagger angle of IGV online, the efficiency under different conditions can be optimized. This establishment of DSP online adjustment scheme may provide a practical solution for improving performance of multi-stage axial flow compressor when its operating condition is varied.

Development and stability analysis of a high-speed train bearing system under variable speed conditions

During a high-speed train operation,the train speed changes frequently,resulting in motion change as a function of time.A dynamic model of a double‐row tapered roller bearing system of a high-speed train under variable speed conditions is developed.The model takes into consideration the structural characteristics of one outer ring and two inner rings of the train bearing.The angle iteration method is used to determine the rotation angle of the roller within any time period,solving the difficult problem of determining the location of the roller.The outer ring and inner ring faults are captured by the model,and the model response is obtained under variable speed conditions.Experiments are carried out under two fault conditions to validate the model results.The simulation results are found to be in good agreement with the results of the formula,and the errors between the simulation results and the experimental results when the bearing has outer and inner ring faults are found to be,respectively,5.97% and 2.59%,which demonstrates the effectiveness of the model.The influence of outer ring and inner ring faults on system stability is analyzed quantitatively using the Lempel–Ziv complexity.The results show that for low train acceleration,the inner ring fault has a more significant effect on the system stability,while for high acceleration,the outer ring fault has a more significant effect.However,when the train acceleration changes,the outer ring has a greater influence.In practice,train acceleration is usually small and does not frequently change in one operation cycle.Therefore,the inner ring fault of the bearing deserves more attention.
