Vibration analysis of fluid- structure interaction in water hammer based on transfer matrix method

In consideration of the problem that the effect of conduit structure on water hammer has been ignored in the classical theory,the Poisson coupling between the fluid and the pipeline was studied and a fourteen-equation mathematical model of fluid-structure interaction(FSI)was developed.Then,the transfer matrix method(TMM)was used to calculate the modal frequency,modal shape and frequency response.The results were compared with that in experiment to verify the correctness of the TMM and the results show that the fluid-structure coupling has a greater impact on the modal frequencies than the modal shape.Finally,the influence on the response spectrum of different damping ratios was studied and the results show that the natural frequency under different damping ratios has changed little but there is a big difference for the pressure spectrum.With the decreasing of damping ratio,the damping of the system on frequency spectrum is more and more significant and the dispersion and dissipation is more and more apparent.Therefore the appropriate damping ratio should be selected to minimize the effects of the vibration of the FSI.The results provide references for the theory research of FSI in the transient process.

Dynamic Performance Analysis of the Coupling Shaft System in a Carpet Tufting Machine Utilizing the Transfer Matrix Method

The dynamic performance of the coupling shaft system in a carpet tufting machine is the most critical factor affecting the carpet tufting machine's efficiency,and the product quality of the tufted carpet. To determine how to avoid resonance produced by the coupling shaft system's vibration during the weaving process,the dynamic performance of a coupling shaft system in a carpet tufting machine was analyzed. Focusing on a DHGN801D-400 carpet tufting machine,a dynamic model of coupling shaft system was established by utilizing transfer matrix methodology. On the basis of this model,the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the coupling shaft system were obtained through simulations. The correctness of the theoretical model and the dynamic performance of the coupling shaft system were validated by experiments. The first order natural frequency of the coupling shaft system was close to 600 r / min. A conclusion can thus be drawn that operating the carpet tufting machine near this speed should be avoided as much as possible.

Controlling the Bandgaps of One-Dimensional TiO2/SiO2, TiO2/SnO2, and SiO2/SnO2 Photonic Crystals Using the Transfer Matrix Method

One-dimensional photonic crystals (1D PhCs) have a unique ability to control the propagation of light waves, however certain classes of 1D oxides remain relatively unexplored for use as PhCs. Specifically, there has not been a comparative study of the three different 1D PhC structures to compare the influence of layer thickness, number, and refractive index on the ability of the PhCs to control light transmission. Herein, we use the transfer matrix method (TMM) to theoretically examine the transmission of 1D PhCs composed of layers of TiO2/SiO2, TiO2/SnO2, SiO2/SnO2, and combinations of the three with various top and bottom layer thicknesses to cover a substantial region of the electromagnetic spectrum (UV to NIR). With increasing layer numbers for TiO2/SiO2 and SiO2/SnO2, the edges became sharper and wider and the photonic bandgap width increased. Moreover, we demonstrated that PhCs with significantly thick TiO2/SiO2 layers had a high transmittance for a wide bandgap, allowing for wide-band optical filter applications. These different PhC architectures could enable a variety of applications, depending on the properties needed.

Transfer matrix method for determination of the natural vibration characteristics of elastically coupled launch vehicle boosters

The analysis of natural vibration characteristics has become one of important steps of the manufacture and dynamicdesignintheaerospaceindustry.Thispaperpresents a new scenario called virtual cutting in the context of the transfer matrix method of linear multibody systems closedlooptopologyforcomputingthefreevibrationcharacteristics of elastically coupled fl xible launch vehicle boosters. In this approach, the coupled system is idealized as a triple-beam system-like structure coupled by linear translational springs,where a non-uniform free-free Euler–Bernoulli beam is used.A large thrust-to-weight ratio leads to large axial accelerations that result in an axial inertia load distribution from nose to tail. Consequently, it causes the development of significan compressive forces along the length of the launch vehicle.Therefore, it is important to take into account this effect in the transverse vibration model. This scenario does not need the global dynamics equations of a system, and it has high computational efficien y and low memory requirements. The validity of the presented scenario is achieved through comparison to other approaches published in the literature.

Dynamics Analysis of a Parallel Mill-turn Tool Spindle Head Driven by Dual-linear Motors Using Extended Transfer Matrix Method

The hybrid dynamics of multi-rigid-body and multi-flexible-body system becomes the mainstream of multi-body dynamics.Currently there lacks a compact approach to model the hybrid dynamics,especially in modern machine tool application,due to the difficulty of solving the hybrid equations or the limitation of current software when dealing with the hybrid dynamics.The extended transfer matrix method(E-TMM),which extends elements in three-dimensional space with higher matrixes,is proposed to simplify the modeling process of the hybrid dynamics.The E-TMM modeling approaches of 3 basic elements including 3D vibrant rigid body,joint and flexible body are studied in details.A parallel mill-turn tool spindle head unit driven by dual-linear motors is chosen as a plant to demonstrate the E-TMM modeling process.By using E-TMM,the spindle head unit is simplified as a topological network consisting of the three types of element,i.e.,3D vibrant rigid body,joint and flexible body,including 11 rigid bodies,14 joints and 1 3D-Timoshenko beam.Then the dynamic model of the system can be easily obtained by deducing the element-network by means of state vector transformation.The dynamic characteristics of the spindle head,such as natural frequencies,dynamic flexibility,etc.can be predicted by solving the obtained model.Experiment verification indicates that the E-TMM is valid with enough accuracy in the dynamic analysis of the parallel mill-turn tool spindle head.The E-TMM is capable of modeling the dynamics of machine tool structure with no requirements of deducing and solving the sophisticated differential equations.Moreover,the E-TMM provides a simple and elegant tool for hybrid dynamic analysis in future dynamic design of machine tools.

Eigenvalue analysis of planar linear multibody system under conservative force based on the transfer matrix method

The linear multibody system transfer matrix method(LMSTMM)provides a powerful tool for analyzing the vibration characteristics of a mechanical system.However,the original LMSTMM cannot resolve the eigenvalues of the systems with ideal hinges(i.e.,revolute hinge,sliding hinge,spherical hinge,cylindrical hinge,etc.)or bodies under conservative forces due to the lack of the corresponding transfer matrices.This paper enables the LMSTMM to solve the eigenvalues of the planar multibody systems with ideal hinges or rigid bodies under conservative forces.For a rigid body,the transfer matrix can now consider coupling terms between forces and kinematic state perturbations.Also,conservative forces that contribute to the eigenvalues can be considered.Meanwhile,ideal hinges are introduced to LMSTMM,which enables the treatment of eigenvalues of general multibody systems using LMSTMM.Finally,the comparative analysis with ADAMS software and analytical solutions verifies the effectiveness of the proposed approach in this paper.

Improved incremental transfer matrix method for nonlinear rotor-bearing system

Rotor system supported by nonlinear bearing such as squeeze film damper(SFD)is widely used in practice owing to its wide range of damping capacity and simplicity in structure.In this paper,an improved and effective Incremental transfer matrix method(ITMM)is first presented by combining ITMM and fast Fourier transform(FFT).Afterwards this method is applied to calculate the dynamic characteristics of a Jeffcott rotor system with SFD.The convergence dificulties incurred caused by strong nonlinearities of SFD has been dealt by adopting a control factor.It is found that for the more general boundary problems where the boundary conditions are not at input and output ends of a chain system,the supplementary equation is necessarily added.Additionally,the Floquet theory is used to analyze the stability and bifurcation type of the obtained periodic solution.The semi-analytical results,including the periodic solutions of the system,the bifurcation points and their types,are in good agreement with the numerical method.Furthermore,the involution mechanism of the quasi-periodic and chaotic motions near the first-order translational mode and the second order bending mode of this system is also clarified by this method with the aid of Floquet theory.
