INFLUENCE OF A LEVELNESS DEFECT IN A THRUST BEARING ON THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR OF AN ELASTIC SHAFT

This paper examines the non-linear dynamic behaviour of a flexible shaft. The shaft is mounted on two journal bearings and the axial load is supported by a defective hydrodynamic thrust bearing at one end. The defect is a levelness defect of the rotor. The thrust bearing behaviour must be considered to be non-linear because of the effects of the defect. The shaft is modelled with typical beam finite elements including effects such as the gyroscopic effects. A modal technique is used to reduce the number of degrees of freedom. Results show that the thrust bearing defects introduce supplementary critical speeds. The linear approach is unable to show the supplementary critical speeds which are obtained only by using non-linear analysis.

Vinylidene complexes of transition metals : II. A new method of synthesis of vinylidene complexes. Cymantrene derivatives containing phenylvinylidene ligands

A rearrangement of transition metal acetylenic π-complexes into compounds with vinylidene n-ligands has been established. Compounds CpMn(CCHPh)-(CO)₂ and Cp₂Mn₂(μ-CCHPh)(CO)₄ with terminal and bridging phenylvinylidene (benzylidenecarbene) ligands respectively were obtained from the π-complexes CpMn(CO)₂(PhCCR) where R  H, Ph₃Ge or Ph₃Sn. Reactions leading to conversion of the terminal CCHPh group into a bridging ligand and vice versa were studied. Under the action of L  Ph₃P, (EtO)₃P or (PhO)₃P, substitution of CO groups in vinylidene complexes takes place and compounds CpMn(CCHPh)-(CO)L are formed. IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the novel complexes are discussed. The data obtained indicate an electron-withdrawing property of the CCHPh ligand and stronger bonding of this ligand to the metal as compared with a CO group.
