Experimental Investigation on Vibration Control of Rotor-bearing System with Active Magnetic Exciter

Vibration control is an efficient way to minimize a rotating machine’s vibration level so that its vibration fault-free can be realized.While,several factors,such as unbalance,misalignment and instability,contribute to the serious vibration of rotating machines.It is necessary that one apparatus can depress vibration caused by two or more reasons.The fault self-recovery(FSR) mechanism is introduced and investigated.Strategies of vibration control are investigated theoretically using numerical method firstly.Active magneticelectric exciter(AME) are selected as the actuator of a FSR device because it can provide suitable force by varying the control current in the exciters depending upon a proportional and derivative control law.By numerical study,it is indicate that only a small control force is needed to improve stability margins of the compressor and prevent subsynchronous vibration fault efficiently.About synchronous vibration,three control strategies,searching in whole circle,fast optimizing control(FOC),and none mistaking control,are investigated to show which of the control strategy can realize the fault self-recovery in the shortest time.Experimental study is conducted on a test rig with variable rotating speed.Results of the test indicate that the non-mistake control strategy can minimize synchronous vibration in less than three seconds.The proposed research can provide a new insight for subsynchronous and synchronous vibration restraining about centrifugal compressor.

Relationship between ESIPT properties and antioxidant activities of 5-hydroxyflavone derivates

It is of great significance to study the relationship between the excited state intramolecular proton transfer(ESIPT)properties and antioxidant activities of compounds in the field of life sciences.In this work,two novel compounds 5HF-OMe and 5HF-NH2 are designed through introducing a methoxy-and amino-group into the structure of 5-hydroxyflavone(5HF)respectively.The relationship between the ESIPT reaction and antioxidant activities of the three compounds is studied via the density functional theory(DFT)and time-dependent DFT(TD-DFT)methods.The calculated potential energy curves suggest that the rate of ESIPT reaction will gradually slow down from 5HF to 5HF-OMe and 5HF-NH2.In addition,the antioxidant activities of the three compounds gradually enhance from 5HF to 5HF-OMe and 5HF-NH2,which can be seen from the calculated energy gaps and ionization potential values.Interestingly,the above results imply that the rate of ESIPT reaction has a negative relationship with the antioxidant activities of the compounds,i.e.,the slower rate of ESIPT reaction will reflect the higher antioxidant activity of the compound,which will provide valuable reference for detecting the antioxidant activity of compound via the photophysical method.
