偏心迷宫密封动静特性研究

建立了不同偏心状态下迷宫密封三维数值分析模型,应用基于微元理论的密封动力特性系数识别方法计算密封静态和动态特性. 结果表明:转子偏心会降低密封抑制流体泄漏的效果;密封腔内周向压力高点随偏心率增大逐渐偏离最小间隙处. 低偏心率(≤ 0.5)下,静态直接刚度K与静态交叉刚度k变化较小,高偏心率(> 0.5)下K和k的绝对值减小. 随着偏心率的增大,密封小间隙侧流动黏性效应增强是产生负静态直接刚度的主要原因. 密封偏心涡动时,低偏心率(< 0.6)下刚度和阻尼系数变化较小,随偏心率和涡动频率的升高直接刚度逐渐变为负值;随偏心率的增大,交叉刚度在正交两个方向上大小不再相等,有效阻尼降低,高偏心率(≥ 0.6)下有效阻尼受偏心率影响更显著.

Semi-active hydro-gas suspension system for a tracked vehicle

A semi-active hydro-gas suspension is proposed for a tracked vehicle to improve ride comfort performance, without compromising the road holding and load carrying capabilities of the passive suspension. This is achieved through an active damper used in parallel with a gas spring. The suspension damper parameters are varied by a control mechanism based on sky-hook damping theory, which alters the flow characteristics. A damper prototype has been developed, tested for its flow characteristics, after which it has been integrated into an existing hydro-gas suspension system. An analytical model has been proposed from first principles rather than developing a phenomenological model based on experimental characteristics. This model is validated with experiments carried out on a suspension test rig. In order to compare the performance with the original passive system, an in-plane vehicle model is developed and the simulations clearly show that the semi-active system performance is superior to the passive system.     

An inelastic material model for filled polytetrafluorethylen

Summary  This paper presents a viscoplastic model for PTFE designed to simulate numerically PTFE shaft seals. A rate-independent elastoplastic model with an endochronic flow rule is coupled in series with a rate-dependent Kelvin model, which has a highly nonlinear damper. In contrast to previous models for PTFE, this unified approach is suitable for numerical simulation of the loading and the stress relaxation behaviour at ambient temperature.

Computation of rotordynamic coefficients associated with leakage steam flow through labyrinth seal

A mathematical model of calculating rotordynamic coefficients associated with leakage steam flow through labyrinth seals was presented. Particular attention was given to incorporating thermal properties of the steam fluid into prediction of leakage flow and subsequent derivation of rotordynamic coefficients, which quantitatively characterize influence of aerodynamic forcing of the leakage steam flow on the rotordynamics. By using perturbation analysis, we determined periodic and analytic solutions of the continuity and circumferential momentum equations for the time-dependent flow induced by non-axisymmetric rotation of the rotor encompassed by a labyrinth seal. Pressure distributions along labyrinth seal cavities and rotordynamic coefficients were compared at the same condition for air and steam flows. Influence of steam flow through the labyrinth seal cavities on rotordynamic coefficients was analyzed in terms of inlet pressure, inlet swirl velocity and rotor speed.     

Influence of steam leakage through vane,gland, and shaft seals on rotordynamics of high-pressure rotor of a 1,000 MW ultra-supercritical steam turbine

A comparative analysis of the influence of steam leakage through vane, gland, and shaft seals on the rotordynamics of the high-pressure rotor of a 1,000 MW ultra-supercritical steam turbine was performed using numerical calculations. The rotordynamic coefficients associated with steam leakage through the three labyrinth seals were calculated using the control-volume method and perturbation analysis. A stability analysis of the rotor system subject to the steam forcing induced by the leakage flow was performed using the finite element method. An analysis of the influence of the labyrinth seal forcing on the rotordynamics was carried out by varying the geometrical parameters pertaining to the tooth number, seal clearance, and inner diameter of the labyrinth seals, along with the thermal parameters with respect to pressures and temperatures. The results demonstrated that the steam forcing with an increase in the length of the blade for the vane seal significantly influences the rotordynamic coefficients. Furthermore, the contribution of steam forcing to the instability of the rotor is decreased and increased with increases in the seal clearance and tooth number, respectively. The comparison of the rotordynamic coefficients associated with steam leakage through the vane seal, gland seal, and shaft seal convincingly disclosed that, although the steam forcing attenuates the stability of the rotor system, the steam turbine is still operating under safe conditions.
