The physical model of a high-speed vertical rotating machine was taken as the example. The motion differential equations of the rotor system were established by the Lagrange equation and numerically solved by the Wilson-θ method. The whirling characteristics of the rotor excited by the base’s harmonic motions have been analyzed. The whirling directions are different between the rotor’s upper and lower ends. And the whirling characteristics of the rotor vary with the frequency of the base’s motion. Besides, there exists such a region of the rotor’s rotary speed, in which the whirling characteristics and amplitudes of the rotor system are relatively steady, so the aseismic tests at a certain lower speed can be done to examine the aseismic capability of the rotor system at operating speed.

Abstract This paper presents a case study of balancing a high speed overhung flexible rotor system. The system had several speeds, below the operating speed, where the amplitude of vibration was high. Mode shapes were obtained by measuring amplitude of 1X component and its phase at various locations & balancing was carried out by adding weights in a single plane.

An analytical model is developed for predicting the onset of supersonic stall bending flutter in axial-flow compressors. The analysis is based on a modified two-dimensional, compressible, unsteady actuator disk theory. It is applied to a rotor blade row by considering a cascade of airfoils whose geometry and dynamic response coincide with those of a rotor blade element at 85 percent of the span height (measured from the hub). The rotor blades are assumed to be unshrouded (i.e., free standing) and to vibrate in their first flexural mode. The effects of shock waves and flow separation are included in the model through quasisteady, empirical, rotor total-pressure-loss and deviation-angle correlations. The actuator disk model predicts the unsteady aerodynamic force acting on the cascade blading as a function of the steady flow field entering the cascade and the geometry and dynamic response of the cascade. Calculations show that the present model predicts the existence of a bending flutter mode at supersonic inlet Mach numbers. This flutter mode is suppressed by increasing the reduced frequency of the system or by reducing the steady-state aerodynamic loading on the cascade. The validity of the model for predicting flutter is demonstrated by correlating the measured flutter boundary of a high-speed fan stage with its predicted boundary. This correlation uses a level of damping for the blade row (i.e., the log decrement of the rotor system) that is estimated from the experimental flutter data. The predicted flutter boundary is shown to be in good agreement with the measured boundary. These results show that the model can be used to estimate the relative stability between operating points of a given rotor system. If, in addition, a measure of the mechanical damping of the rotor system is available, the model can also be used to estimate the absolute stability at an operating point.

Aiming at the misaligned problems of high-speed flexible multi-supported rotor system, considering the structural characteristics and load characteristics of the rotor, the unbalanced excitation of the rotor with misalignment is presented and quantitatively described. The mechanical model of the high-speed flexible rotor system with multi-support under misaligned excitation is established. Based on the finite element method, the dynamic equation of the rotor system is given and the dynamic response characteristics of rotor systems are studied. The results show that the misalignment for the highspeed multi-support flexible rotor system can not only lead to 2X excitation and support stiffness nonlinearity, but also bring additional unbalanced excitation to the rotor system. The 2X frequency component is one typical feature for the rotor system with bearing misalignment. The vibration response of the rotor showed a trend of “increased slowly first, then reduced quickly as the rotation frequency increased”, and it turns to be more obvious with the increasing of the nonlinear stiffness and unbalance.

The dynamic model of a rotor system of assembled compressor is established. Based on the single axis analysis, and considering the tilting-pad bearing stiffness characteristics with speed variations, the paper analyses whole system’s nature characteristic with gearing mesh factors. It mainly expands with the form of amplitude-frequency drawing and spectrum charts, and examines the dynamic response with each key position of coupled systems under the two working conditions. The results show that, because of the existence of gear meshing effect, Low speed axis and high-speed axis in the corresponding speed shaft appeared a few larger vibration amplitudes, at high speed axis add unbalance force, can arouse resonance of this axis in the first two order critical speed, but in the other axis don’t have obvious display.

How to increase the rotational speed and decrease vibration of the rotor in the acceleration has become an attractive subject, especially for the vertical rotors. This paper introduces a novel supporting mechanism to make the vertical rotor work at 80000 r/min smoothly. How to design and optimize the sensitive parameters of the supporting mechanism is the core problem to reduce the vibration in passing through critical speeds. Therefore, the FEM (finite element method) considering the gyroscopic couple is introduced to get the dynamic characteristic of the rotor system. The matching principle of the upper and lower supporting mechanism in the two-degree freedom system is extended to the multiple degree-freedom system, which is applied to optimize the parameters of the supporting mechanism combining with dynamic characteristic of the rotors system. At last, the rotor system can work at 80000 r/min smoothly in experiment.

The automatic ball balancer is equipment used to balance the rotor system online and control its forced vibration. Although the rotor system is a nonlinear system actually, especially the occurrence of the nonlinear elastic restoring force in the support of rolling elements bearings, many researches still focus on the linear rotor systems at present. The Jeffcott rotor acted by unsymmetrical nonlinear restoring force is studied in this paper. Through the resolving theoretically and simulating numerically, the principal resonance respond of the rotor system controlled by the balancer with two balls and its stability are studied, while the vibration characteristics and movement laws of the rotor and balls in every rotary speed region are analyzed. The results showed that the balancer can suppress the principal vibration of the nonlinear rotor system in high speed region very well.

The specific features relating to voltage control of power transformers at distribution network transformer substations are considered. An approach to implementing high-speed on-load voltage control of serially produced 10/0.4 kV power transformers by using a solid-state on-load tap changer (SOLTC) is presented. An example of the SOLTC circuit solution on the basis of thyristor switches is given. On-load voltage control algorithms for power transformers equipped with SOLTC that ensure high reliability and high-speed operation are proposed. The SOLTC performance and the operability of the suggested voltage control algorithms were studied by simulation in the Matlab/Simulink environment and by experiments on the SOLTC physical model. The structure and peculiarities of the used simulation Matlab model are described. The SOLTC physical model design and its parameters are presented. The results obtained from the simulating the SOLTC operation on the Matlab model and from the experiments on the SOLTS physical model jointly with a power transformer under different loads and with using different control algorithms are given. An analysis of the experimental study results has shown the soundness of the adopted technical solutions. It has been demonstrated that the use of an SOLTC ensures high-speed voltage control, high efficiency and reliability of its operation, and arcless switching of the power transformer regulating taps without load voltage and current interruption. By using the SOLTC operation algorithms it is possible to perform individual phase voltage regulation in a three-phase 0.4 kV distribution network. The possibility of integrating SOLTC control and diagnostic facilities into the structure of modern digital substations based on the digital interface according to the IEC 61850 standard is noted.

The dynamic response of the turbine blade materials is indispensable for analysis of erosions of turbine blades as a result of impulsive loading associated with gas flow. This paper is concerned with the dynamic material properties of the Inconel 718 alloy which is widely used in the high speed turbine blade. The dynamic response at the corresponding level of the strain rate should be acquired with an adequate experimental technique and apparatus due to the inertia effect and the stress wave propagation. In this paper, the dynamic response of the Inconel 718 at the intermediate strain rate ranged from 1/s to 400/s is obtained from the high speed tensile test and that at the high strain rate above 1000/s is obtained from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test. The effects of the strain rate on the dynamic flow stress, the strain rate sensitivity and the failure elongation are evaluated with the experimental results. Experimental results from both the quasi-static and the high strain rate up to 3000/s are interpolated in order to construct the constitutive relation that should be applied to simulate the dynamic behavior of the turbine blade made of the Inconel 718.
