This paper presents a novel real-time crack identification method to determine the position and depth of a transverse open crack on a rotating shaft. A newly developed wireless sensor capable of being mounted directly on the shaft can be employed to monitor acceleration at different points of a shaft in a rotating coordinate system. The vibration parameters obtained from a Finite Element Model ...

The torque measurement usually comes from strain gauges bonded on a shaft. The main concern in this measurement is due to the fact that these gauges are also rotating and the integration of electronic on rotating parts is definitely a blocking point. To overcome these limitations, the architecture of our device is mainly composed of two targets, two position sensors, a proof body and a compact ...

In this paper, two Piezo-Based Rotating Inertial Actuators (PBRIAs) are considered for the suppression of the structure-borne noise radiated from rotating machinery. As add-on devices, they can be directly mounted on a rotational shaft, in order to intervene as early as possible in the transfer path between disturbance and the noise radiating surfaces. generate the appropriate actuation signals...

in this paper, the effects of transverse cracks on rotating shaft were studied. according to earlier works, crack shaft failure decrease the critical speed of the shaft and also exhibit a nonlinear vibration behaviour leading to increases the amplitude of 1x and 2x harmonics (first and second order of rotational speed in torsional vibration). this suggests that the application of order analysis...

In this paper, a new method for the balancing of rotor-bearing systems supported on fluid film bearings is proposed. The influence coefficients necessary are calculated using novel simulation called Numerical Assembly Technique. advantages approach quasi-analytical solutions equations motion complex and very low computation times. Technique extended by speed-dependent stiffness damping approxim...

The dynamics and bifurcations of convective waves in rotating and buoyancy-driven spherical Rayleigh-Bénard convection are investigated numerically. The solution branches that arise as rotating waves (RWs) are traced by means of path-following methods, by varying the Rayleigh number as a control parameter for different rotation rates. The dependence of the azimuthal drift frequency of the RWs o...

A Multivariable Control System is designed for an Electromagnetic Bearing and Rotating Shaft System. The Linear Quadratic Gaussian with Loop Transfer Recovery (LQG/LTR) methodology is used to design a robust Model Based Compensator (MBC). The electromagnetic bearing consists of an electromagnetic actuator, operated in magnetic "attractive" force mode, with permanent magnet biased coils. The per...
