Dynamical analysis of hollow-shaft dual-rotor system with circular cracks:

Dynamical analysis of hollow-shaft dual-rotor system with circular cracks: In this paper, we considered a dual-rotor system with crack in shaft. The influence of circular crack in hollow shaft on dynamical response was studied. The equations of motion of 12 elements dual-rotor system model were derived. Harmonic balance method was employed to solve the equations. The critical speed and sub-critical speed responses were investigated. It was found that the circular crack in hollow shaft had greater influence on the first-backward critical speed than the first-forward critical speed. Owing to the influence of crack, the vibration peaks occurred at the 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 critical speeds of the rotor system, along with a reduction in sub-critical speeds and critical speeds. The deeper crack away from the bearing affected the rotor more significantly. The whirling orbits, the time-domain responses and the spectra were obtained to show the super-harmonic resonance phenomenon in hollow-shaft cracked rotor system. Keywords Rotor, hollow-shaft, circular cracks, critical speed, super-harmonic Introduction Rotating machines represent the maximal and most important class of machinery used for fluid media transpor- 1–3 tation, metal working and forming, energy generation, providing aircraft propulsion and other purposes. High 4–6 speed and heavy power are the development directions of modern rotating machineries. In the past decades, 7 8 9 there are a lot of literatures that focus on the study of unbalance, clearance, base motions, damping ratio 10 11–13 identification, rubbing and viscoelastic properties of rotor system. Especially, crack and misalignment 14–16 effects in rotor dynamic characteristics are frequently investigated. Fatigue crack of the rotor shaft observed in the rotating machinery should be avoided. It may lead to cata- strophic failure. In this situation, there are non-linear and non-stationary responses of the rotor system. However, the strong non-linearity can make the system possess characteristics that are substantially different from those of the linear system, such as self-excited oscillations and jump discontinuities. Detailed investigation into the non-linear dynamic response prediction of cracked shaft is very important for diagnosing and preventing 18–20 rotor cracks. The influence of transverse crack on a rotating shaft has been the attention of many researchers. Extensive 21 22 reviews of the dynamic response of cracked rotor systems were published by Dimarogonas and Wauer. Pennacchi et al. proposed a model-based transverse crack identification method suitable for industrial machines. The excellent accuracy obtained at defined position and depth of different cracks demonstrated the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method.

Switching-crack modeling reveals chaotic, quasi-periodic and sub-harmonic vibration response for deeper cracks, and more realistic breathing crack model reveals no evidence of them. Rubio and Fernandez-Saez proposed a new procedure to analyze the non-linear dynamics of cracked rotors using an iterative technique that transformed the full non-linear problem into a succession of time-dependent linear ones. The calculations using the proposed method were over a 100 times faster than the corresponding to integrate the full non-linear problem, being very helpful in on-line crack-identification procedures. Sinou adopted har- monic balance method to study the stability of the rotor system presenting a transverse breathing crack by considering the effects of crack depth, crack position and the rotating speed. The areas of instability will increase considerably when the crack deepened and that the crack’s position and depth were the main factors affecting not only the non-linear behaviour of the rotor system but also the different zones of dynamic instability in the periodic solution for the cracked rotor. Ishida and Inoue used harmonic excitation force to investigate the non-linear response of cracked rotor. The occurrence of various types of non-linear resonances due to crack was clarified, and types of these resonances, their resonance points and dominant frequency component of these resonances were clarified numerically and experimentally. Sawicki et al. investigated the modelling and analysis of machines with breathing cracks, which open and close due to the self-weight of the rotor, producing a parametric excitation. Penny and Friswell considered a cracked asymmetric Jeffcott rotor and studied the influence of small out-of- 29,30 balance forces and cracks. Al-Shudeifat proposed a new breathing function which could describe the breath- ing mechanism of the crack more precisely. The process of solving the stiffness matrix of the crack element is given in detail, and the dynamic characteristics of the rotor system with breathing crack or open crack are solved, respectively. These dynamic phenomena are verified by experiments. Moreover, Floquet theory is used to analyse the influence of crack and damping on the stability of the cracked rotor, and the changing law of the instability speed region is obtained. Cavalini et al. used a crack-identification methodology based on a non-linear approach, which uses external applied diagnostic forces at certain frequencies, to estimate the location and depth of the crack. In the above two new diagnostic methods, the relationship between the response frequency and the crack is more explicit, which is expected to improve the accuracy of the crack identification. In recent years, the hollow structures are widely used in aero-engine to improve efficiency. More attention is 32,33 needed about the dynamic characteristics of cracked rotor system with hollow shaft in the engineering rotor. In this work, the influence of circular crack in hollow shaft, the critical speed and sub-critical speed responses is studied. We are devoted to provide some guidance for the detection and identification of hollow-shaft dual-rotor system crack faults. The modeling of the cracked rotor system The finite element modeling of open crack is addressed in this part. The crack leads to a reduction of stiffness where the synchronous breathing of the crack between compression and tension stress fields on the crack faces of contact may lead to a permanent plastic deformation by which the breathing mechanism becomes dominated by the permanently open crack state. Circular crack is a typical form of transverse crack models. As far as the author knows, fewer literatures study this crack model compared with the huge literatures of straight crack model. However, as a rotating shaft, it is easier for cracks to propagate along the circumference than along the axis. In this part, the crack stiffness model is 34–36 established by the neutral axis theory. When the shaft is subject to stress concentration, especially in the position where the cross-section suddenly changes or material defects exist, the fatigue cracks will propagate faster on both sides of the crack edge under long-term action of the alternating load. As a result, the area of the crack element section will become an annular one. To show this characteristic accurately, a finite element model of the rotor system with 12 elements and 13 nodes is established as shown in Figure 1. The bearing is located at nodes 1 and 13, and the disk is located at nodes 4 and 10. There is unbalance in disk 1, and the crack is located in element 4. For a cracked rotor system with hollow shaft, with the propagation of crack, penetration of the shaft’s inner wall may occur. The cross-section of the crack element before penetration is shown in Figure 2. The shadow area represents the crack. The initial angle of the crack is taken as 0. The o–xy is a fixed coordinate system. The crack region is symmetric about the oy axis, and the depth of the cracks is same on each section. o is the centroid of cross-section when there is no crack, c is the centroid when the crack appears, e ¼ oc  represents the change of centroid position and X is the rotational speed of the rotor. The outer radius and inner radius of the shaft are R Yongfeng et al. Yongfeng et al. 12293 Disk1 Disk2 1 2 3 4 5 ĂĂ 8 9 10 11 12 Bearing and supporting Figure 1.

The cracked element stiffness matrix in the – – 37 rotating x and y axes can be written in a form similar to that of the asymmetric rod in space in Pilkey. In the circular crack model, crack propagation appears as it increases in depth and crack angle, but h and h are relatively independent parameters. In order to study the crack propagation process, let cos(h) ¼ (R–h)/R. The crack depth is assumed to be constant. The moment of inertia of the crack section in two directions is definite, but the crack will cause a certain offset in the sectional centroid position. The crack region in Figure 2(b) is divided into three parts, which is A ¼ A þ A – A , where A refers to the arcuate region between line y ¼ R crack 1 2 3 1 and line y ¼ R–h, A represents the trapezoidal area between line y ¼ R–h and line y ¼ (R–h)cos(h) and A means 2 3 the un-shaded arched area between line y ¼ R–h and line y ¼ (R–h)cos(h).

In order to show the 1 2 effect of different models, the moment of inertias for solid shaft and hollow shaft, circular crack, and straight crack are compared here. The physical parameters for a rotor system are shown in Table 1. Assume that the solid shaft has the same outer diameter as the hollow axis. Figures 4 and 5 show I , I and the relative 1 2 reduction of I with variety of crack depth. With the increasing of crack depth, the loss of moment of inertia in x and y directions increases. The effect of hollow shaft and circular crack is greater than the solid shaft and straight crack. Timoshenko beam-axis model is used to calculate the crack stiffness of the shaft.

Abstract

In this paper, we considered a dual-rotor system with crack in shaft. The influence of circular crack in hollow shaft on dynamical response was studied. The equations of motion of 12 elements dual-rotor system model were derived. Harmonic balance method was employed to solve the equations. The critical speed and sub-critical speed responses were investigated. It was found that the circular crack in hollow shaft had greater influence on the first-backward critical speed than the first-forward critical speed. Owing to the influence of crack, the vibration peaks occurred at the 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 critical speeds of the rotor system, along with a reduction in sub-critical speeds and critical speeds. The deeper crack away from the bearing affected the rotor more significantly. The whirling orbits, the time-domain responses and the spectra were obtained to show the super-harmonic resonance phenomenon in hollow-shaft cracked rotor system. Keywords Rotor, hollow-shaft, circular cracks, critical speed, super-harmonic Introduction Rotating machines represent the maximal and most important class of machinery used for fluid media transpor- 1–3 tation, metal working and forming, energy generation, providing aircraft propulsion and other purposes. High 4–6 speed and heavy power are the development directions of modern rotating machineries. In the past decades, 7 8 9 there are a lot of literatures that focus on the study of unbalance, clearance, base motions, damping ratio 10 11–13 identification, rubbing and viscoelastic properties of rotor system. Especially, crack and misalignment 14–16 effects in rotor dynamic characteristics are frequently investigated. Fatigue crack of the rotor shaft observed in the rotating machinery should be avoided. It may lead to cata- strophic failure. In this situation, there are non-linear and non-stationary responses of the rotor system. However, the strong non-linearity can make the system possess characteristics that are substantially different from those of the linear system, such as self-excited oscillations and jump discontinuities. Detailed investigation into the non-linear dynamic response prediction of cracked shaft is very important for diagnosing and preventing 18–20 rotor cracks. The influence of transverse crack on a rotating shaft has been the attention of many researchers. Extensive 21 22 reviews of the dynamic response of cracked rotor systems were published by Dimarogonas and Wauer. Pennacchi et al. proposed a model-based transverse crack identification method suitable for industrial machines. The excellent accuracy obtained at defined position and depth of different cracks demonstrated the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method.

Switching-crack modeling reveals chaotic, quasi-periodic and sub-harmonic vibration response for deeper cracks, and more realistic breathing crack model reveals no evidence of them. Rubio and Fernandez-Saez proposed a new procedure to analyze the non-linear dynamics of cracked rotors using an iterative technique that transformed the full non-linear problem into a succession of time-dependent linear ones. The calculations using the proposed method were over a 100 times faster than the corresponding to integrate the full non-linear problem, being very helpful in on-line crack-identification procedures. Sinou adopted har- monic balance method to study the stability of the rotor system presenting a transverse breathing crack by considering the effects of crack depth, crack position and the rotating speed. The areas of instability will increase considerably when the crack deepened and that the crack’s position and depth were the main factors affecting not only the non-linear behaviour of the rotor system but also the different zones of dynamic instability in the periodic solution for the cracked rotor. Ishida and Inoue used harmonic excitation force to investigate the non-linear response of cracked rotor. The occurrence of various types of non-linear resonances due to crack was clarified, and types of these resonances, their resonance points and dominant frequency component of these resonances were clarified numerically and experimentally. Sawicki et al. investigated the modelling and analysis of machines with breathing cracks, which open and close due to the self-weight of the rotor, producing a parametric excitation. Penny and Friswell considered a cracked asymmetric Jeffcott rotor and studied the influence of small out-of- 29,30 balance forces and cracks. Al-Shudeifat proposed a new breathing function which could describe the breath- ing mechanism of the crack more precisely. The process of solving the stiffness matrix of the crack element is given in detail, and the dynamic characteristics of the rotor system with breathing crack or open crack are solved, respectively. These dynamic phenomena are verified by experiments. Moreover, Floquet theory is used to analyse the influence of crack and damping on the stability of the cracked rotor, and the changing law of the instability speed region is obtained. Cavalini et al. used a crack-identification methodology based on a non-linear approach, which uses external applied diagnostic forces at certain frequencies, to estimate the location and depth of the crack. In the above two new diagnostic methods, the relationship between the response frequency and the crack is more explicit, which is expected to improve the accuracy of the crack identification. In recent years, the hollow structures are widely used in aero-engine to improve efficiency. More attention is 32,33 needed about the dynamic characteristics of cracked rotor system with hollow shaft in the engineering rotor. In this work, the influence of circular crack in hollow shaft, the critical speed and sub-critical speed responses is studied. We are devoted to provide some guidance for the detection and identification of hollow-shaft dual-rotor system crack faults. The modeling of the cracked rotor system The finite element modeling of open crack is addressed in this part. The crack leads to a reduction of stiffness where the synchronous breathing of the crack between compression and tension stress fields on the crack faces of contact may lead to a permanent plastic deformation by which the breathing mechanism becomes dominated by the permanently open crack state. Circular crack is a typical form of transverse crack models. As far as the author knows, fewer literatures study this crack model compared with the huge literatures of straight crack model. However, as a rotating shaft, it is easier for cracks to propagate along the circumference than along the axis. In this part, the crack stiffness model is 34–36 established by the neutral axis theory. When the shaft is subject to stress concentration, especially in the position where the cross-section suddenly changes or material defects exist, the fatigue cracks will propagate faster on both sides of the crack edge under long-term action of the alternating load. As a result, the area of the crack element section will become an annular one. To show this characteristic accurately, a finite element model of the rotor system with 12 elements and 13 nodes is established as shown in Figure 1. The bearing is located at nodes 1 and 13, and the disk is located at nodes 4 and 10. There is unbalance in disk 1, and the crack is located in element 4. For a cracked rotor system with hollow shaft, with the propagation of crack, penetration of the shaft’s inner wall may occur. The cross-section of the crack element before penetration is shown in Figure 2. The shadow area represents the crack. The initial angle of the crack is taken as 0. The o–xy is a fixed coordinate system. The crack region is symmetric about the oy axis, and the depth of the cracks is same on each section. o is the centroid of cross-section when there is no crack, c is the centroid when the crack appears, e ¼ oc  represents the change of centroid position and X is the rotational speed of the rotor. The outer radius and inner radius of the shaft are R Yongfeng et al. Yongfeng et al. 12293 Disk1 Disk2 1 2 3 4 5 ĂĂ 8 9 10 11 12 Bearing and supporting Figure 1.

The cracked element stiffness matrix in the – – 37 rotating x and y axes can be written in a form similar to that of the asymmetric rod in space in Pilkey. In the circular crack model, crack propagation appears as it increases in depth and crack angle, but h and h are relatively independent parameters. In order to study the crack propagation process, let cos(h) ¼ (R–h)/R. The crack depth is assumed to be constant.
