Abstract:
The fault diagnosis of bearing is an important mean to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. The key of fault diagnosis is the method of vibration signal demodulation. Adaptive noise complete set empirical mode decomposition (CEEMDAN) is an adaptive signal processing method, which has good demodulation performance in nonlinear and non-stationary signals. In this paper, an improved CEEMDAN fault diagnosis algorithm based on kurtosis criterion was proposed. First, using the improved CEEMDAN method based on kurtosis criteria to extract useful modal component signals. After that, the selected modal signals are superimposed and the output energy signals are obtained through the Teager operator. Finally, the fault feature frequency is extracted from the envelope spectrum analysis, and the fault diagnosis is realized. The improved method has a certain practical value in practical application through the test of simulation and processing equipment parts.

Abstract:
In designing the rod-fastened rotors in terms of the similarity principle, there is a significant size effect due to dimensional changes and the mechanism of the scaling law of the rotors with crack defects is not clear. Based on the dimensional analysis method, the mechanism of size effect of crack propagation has been analyzed. The distribution law of the stress intensity factor and the change in stiffness was analyzed for the different size cracked rods during crack propagation. The sensitivity of natural frequencies drifting in cracked rotors of different size models was compared. Finally, a method which can simulate the crack propagation process by using the pre-tightening force reduction of rod-fastened rotors has been proposed. The phenomenon in natural frequencies drifting under different cracked rod distribution forms has also been compared with the experimental. The conclusions provide a theoretical basis for the serial design and equipment maintenance of the rod-fastened rotors.

2019, 38(9): 1350-1356. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20190007
Abstract:
For the problem of misalignment of a dual-rotor system, which affects the vibration characteristics of the system, the dynamic simulation and vibration analysis of the dual-rotor system with coupling misalignment in inner rotor are carried out. Taking a certain aero-engine as the structural object, the dynamic finite element model of the dual-rotor system with coupling misalignment in inner rotor is established by applying additional load caused by misalignment. The vibration spectrum characteristics and the shaft centerline orbits are compared with the increase of the misalignment of rotors. The results show that the vibration can be transferred via intershaft bearing that the vibration response caused by inner rotor coupling misalignment can be monitored both in the support position of the outer rotor and the corresponding position of the inter-bearing; the rotating frequency is not sensitive to coupling misalignment, while the second harmonic frequency is sensitive to coupling misalignment, whose amplitude increases with the increase of the coupling misalignment, and the closer the support position to the coupling, the more sensitive to the misalignment; the shaft centerline orbits are transformed from "ellipse" to the "inner eight" shape with the increase of the coupling misalignment.

Abstract:
The paper puts forward a new speed bump energy harvester based on bi-stable vibration (SBEHBV). Its mechanical model and dynamic equations are established. The four kinds of a commonly used speed bump are selected through simulation. The dynamic response and output power of the SBEHBV system excited by one wheel impact pattern, i.e., the front (or rear) wheel or by two wheel impact pattern, i.e., the front wheel followed by rear wheel, are studied with the parameters of different speed bumps respectively. The simulation results show that the numbers of crossing potential barriers of the SBEHBV system with the parameters of the class Ⅱ speed bump are much more than those of the system with other class speed bumps. The time of large-amplitude motion occurrence and the average output power are more than those of others. Therefore, the output power of the SBEHBV system with the class Ⅱ speed bump under the excitation of a different vehicle weight is studied further. The simulation results also show that the weight of the vehicle is heavier and that its output power is greater. Furthermore, the optimum resistance is obtained by studying the effect of different external load resistance on the output power.

Xiao Lei, Zhang Hai, Xu Baoyu
2019, 38(9): 1373-1379. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180319
Abstract:
This paper proposes an axial modulating permanent magnetic gear (PMG) which has a high output torque. With the overall size of the axial modulating PMG kept still, the permanent magnets (PMs) on the input rotor and the output rotor are installed with Halbach magnet arrays to increase the intensity of a coupled magnetic field in an airgap. The proposed PMG was investigated with the finite element method. The simulation results show that the output torque of the PMG with Halbach magnet arrays is significantly larger than that of the PMG with the conventional magnet arrays. The harmonic analysis of waves of magnetic flux in airgaps indicates that the trends of magnetic flux produced by the PM on the PMG with Halbach magnet arrays and those on the PMG with conventional magnet arrays are similar, thus having the same transmission mechanisms. The sector angle of the PM on the PMG with Halbach magnet arrays can be optimized to further increase its output torque.

2019, 38(9): 1380-1385. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180320
Abstract:
Considering the non-stationary and nonlinear characteristics of the gearbox vibration signal, it is difficult in signal processing and fault detection. A fault feature extraction method based on complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD), multi-scale permutation entropy (MPE) and sample entropy (SE) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the gearbox vibration signal is subjected to complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition, and the modal components are filtered and reconstructed according to the correlation coefficient principle. Then, the multi-scale permutation entropy is used to extract the modal components and extract the features. Simultaneously the sample entropy of reconstructed signals is extracted as the features. Finally, the extracted fault features are merged into the Gaussian process classifier for experimental verification. The experimental results show that the method can effectively extract the fault characteristics of the gearbox vibration signal, and Gaussian classifiers can perform fault detection accurately and quickly.

2019, 38(9): 1386-1392. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20190005
Abstract:
For the static strength requirement, an approach for topology optimization design of thermoelastic structures with global stress constrains is proposed. The minimization of the structure volume is developed as the objective function under the combined action of thermal and mechanical loads. The stress relaxation method is adopted to avoid the singularity phenomena for the stress based topology optimization problem. All elemental stresses are aggregated into a global stress using the modified P-norm method. The global stress is approximately equal to the maximum stress and used as the constraint. The model for topology optimization of the thermoelastic structures with the global stress constraints is established. The method of moving asymptotes is performed to solve the optimization problems. The results of numerical examples show that the proposed method is effective. As the thermal load increases, optimal structure obtained by the stress-constrained topology optimization is different and leads to more materials used.

Lu Juan, Zhang Zhenkun, Liao Xiaoping, Ma Junyan
2019, 38(9): 1451-1456. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180314
Abstract:
The roughness data sequence generated in machining process will contain a variety of features, and a single prediction model cannot simultaneously capture multiple data features, and it is difficult to improve the prediction accuracy. Therefore, a combined prediction model based on support vector machine (SVM) and BP neural network algorithm (BP) considering the complexity of data features in machining process is proposed, which can simultaneously capture the linear characteristics and nonlinearity of data features. In order to full play the two prediction algorithms, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to optimize the parameters of the support vector machine and the weights in the BP neural network. Through milling experiments, and comparing with PSO-SVM, PSO-BP algorithm and the model for surface roughness, the superiority of the combined model (PSO-SVM+PSO-BP) is verified.

2019, 38(9): 1457-1464. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20190136
Abstract:
Based on the high-speed train pantograph, a single-arm single-slide pantograph model was established. The numerical simulation method was used to study the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of the pantograph under different working conditions with crosswind conditions. The vortices, streamline, pressure and the variation law of the aerodynamic power and moment coefficients, and the frequency domain characteristics of the three-dimensional flow field were analyzed. The difference of flow characteristics between single-arm single-slide pantographs at high speed and super-high speed was discussed. The results show that due to the super-high speed running, the average and amplitude of the aerodynamic load of the pantograph increase, the oscillation period decreases, and the corresponding spectrum becomes wider. The effects of pitching moment and side moment caused by unsteady lift and crosswind were significant. The vibration of the pantograph in the vertical direction was intensified, so the single-arm pantograph with relatively compact structure is beneficial to reduce longitudinal vibration. However, the height of the underframe was larger and the angle of the pantograph was smaller, these result in:a large-scale low-speed wake occurs at the junction of the upper arm and the lower arm, and the structure and distribution of the small-scale separation vortex are relatively complicated. The research results have important significance and value for the study and application of unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of pantograph with cross-wind.

2019, 38(9): 1470-1476. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20190071
Abstract:
The maintenance costs of wind turbines remain high, one of the primary causes of which is the selection of maintenance strategy. Currently, wind farms generally take the preventive replacement maintenance strategy at regular intervals. This strategy is inflexible, not enough to take full advantage of the economic dependence between components. This study applies an opportunistic group replacement maintenance (OGRM) strategy on wind turbines. At first, Weibull distribution is utilized to describe reliability of main components. A uniform formula is proposed to express and subdivide maintenance costs. Then, according to principles of the OGRM strategy, maintenance schedules are obtained by simulation. Finally, combined with historical failure data and maintenance cost data from a certain wind farm, a specific case of implementing the strategy at a component level is given. The results show that, compared with the traditional preventive replacement maintenance strategy, the OGRM strategy reduces total maintenance times and costs, which verifies the effectiveness of applying the strategy on wind turbines.
