Dynamic Instability of High-Speed Rotating Shaft with Torsional Effect

Abstract

Today’s design of machine rotor requires the rotor to operate at a high rotational speed to improve the efficiency of the machine. However, the existence of disturbances such as periodic axial load may cause parametric resonance to the rotor system in addition to the common force resonance. Previous studies on this parametric resonance of shaft typically included the element of translational and rotary inertia, gyroscopic moments and bending and shear deformation but surprisingly neglected the effect of the axial torque. This paper investigated the parametric instability behaviour of the shaft rotating at high speed while considering the torsional effect of the shaft. Based on the finite element method, a shaft model that includes torsional deformation as one of its degree of freedom was established. The Mathieu-Hill equation was derived, and then the Bolotin’s method was used to solve the equation by establishing the parametric instability chart. Two types of the rotary system were studied: a shaft with different boundary conditions and shaft with different bearing types. The results were initially validated with past findings. Following that the results were compared to the results correspond to the Timoshenko’s beam formulation that omits the torsional degree of freedom. The effect of axial torsional deformation was found to be very significant especially at high speed. The developed model in this study shows that at the shaft speed of 40000 rpm, the effect of torsional deformation has given the difference of more than 100% in the frequency ratios correspond to the 4DOF and 5DOF models for the case of fix-free boundary condition.

Prognostics of Induction Motor Shaft Based on Feature Importance and Least Square Support Vector Machine Regression

“…Consequently, the motor shaft continuously receives various loadings, such as bending stress, shear stress, and fatigue stress. Even the shaft receives axial torque load when operating at high speed [25]. All of these loads can lead to shaft failure.…”

Research of the efficiency using the model of the spatial hinge in an internal combustion engine

“…The main part of internal combustion engines in construction equipment belongs to the group of crank-connecting rods, the structural schemes of which differ significantly from each other [6] (Figure 1). The disadvantage of this system is that at the time when the piston is in the upper position, then the maximum gas pressure acts on it, which creates the maximum force.…”

Numerical Study on the Torsional and Lateral Vibrations of Double Universal Joint Driveline System

“…Shen and Lu [16] developed a model of coupled torsional-lateral-longitude vibration of vehicular drivelines to study the interior boom problems. Wahab et al [17] investigated the effect of torsional deformation on the dynamic instability of a high-speed rotating Timoshenko shaft system. A parametric instability chart was calculated with Bolotin's method to study the shaft system with different boundary conditions.…”
