Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vibration testing technology, and in particular to a magnetorheological damper-fan rotor similarity vibration test bench and a design method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The rotor-support system is a crucial component of an aircraft engine, serving as the heart of the aircraft. Its performance directly impacts the overall performance of the aircraft. The fan rotor system, a key component of an aircraft engine, faces significant challenges in practical operation, including vibration and bolted joint failure. Over 60% of engine failures are caused by rotor vibration and bolted joint failure.
[0003] Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs), as a new type of intelligent material, have broad application prospects in vibration damping and reduction engineering due to their magnetorheological effects. MR dampers, designed based on MR fluid principles, are reliable flexible support elements that can effectively attenuate vibration and suppress nonlinearity in aircraft engine rotor systems. However, in practical engineering applications, the impact of current on the MR damper's vibration suppression behavior and how to achieve optimal vibration suppression by varying the current magnitude are key limitations that hinder the practical application of this novel device. MR dampers, with their simple structure, easy operation and control, fast response, high control accuracy, and low energy consumption, can effectively improve the performance of aircraft rotor systems. However, rotor support systems using MR dampers operating under high loads and high speeds can cause nonlinear vibrations in the rotor system, significantly impacting aircraft engines. Extensive experimental research and theoretical analysis are still needed to effectively apply MR dampers to rotating machinery. Current research is primarily focused on mechanistic studies, and optimization of damper structure and parameters is insufficient. Furthermore, current magnetorheological dampers, based on semi-active vibration suppression regulated by fixed current, struggle to meet real-time variations in rotor operating conditions. These factors hinder their effectiveness and reliability in aviation engineering applications. However, vibration testing of magnetorheological dampers and aircraft engine fan rotor systems is currently rare among those skilled in the art. Active vibration suppression of rotor systems by actively controlling the damper current remains a key challenge.
[0004] Due to the complex structure, long development cycle, and high testing risks of aircraft engines, there are many limitations in conducting dynamic characteristics testing directly on the entire aircraft. Therefore, similarity theory is used to design a rotor system with an elastic ring squeeze film damper. Its vibration characteristics and nonlinear suppression mechanism are analyzed to reveal the dynamic characteristics of a full-scale aircraft engine.
[0005] Current mainstream squeeze film damper rotor test benches have several drawbacks. In practical engineering applications, their vibration damping performance is unstable and may even lead to rotor instability. Furthermore, a lack of understanding of the damper's dynamics, poor modeling and analysis accuracy, and inadequate design methods have limited its widespread application in high-speed rotating machinery. In practical applications, inappropriate damper design not only fails to improve rotor dynamics but can also exacerbate rotor and overall machine vibration, increasing design risks.
[0006] With the increasing demands for aircraft engine performance, research on vibration suppression in fan rotor systems is urgent. Currently, scholars at home and abroad have recognized the important impact of magnetorheological dampers on aircraft engine rotor systems and have conducted theoretical research on several types of magnetorheological dampers. However, a comprehensive theoretical framework for magnetorheological damper rotor systems is still lacking. Therefore, the application of magnetorheological dampers in fan rotor systems has significant significance and benefits for vibration suppression during engine operation. To achieve this goal, a similar-scale magnetorheological damper rotor system test bench and vibration testing methods for aircraft engine fan rotors with active control capabilities are needed.

The present invention achieves technical verification of the application of magnetorheological dampers in engine rotors by simulating the effects of magnetorheological dampers and bolted connection structures in fan rotors, avoiding technical problems such as high cost and high difficulty of real machine experiments. Compared with the existing technology, the solution of the present invention can avoid technical problems such as high cost and high difficulty of real machine experiments, and achieves accurate simulation and testing of the vibration characteristics of the fan rotor system of an aircraft engine by simulating the effects of magnetorheological dampers and bolted connection structures in fan rotors, solving the problem in the existing technology that it is difficult to verify the influence of magnetorheological dampers on fan rotor vibration.

[0080] Reference is made to aircraft engine fan section rotor system data to record the dimensional parameters of the prototype structure. Using the parameters of the fan prototype rotor, a strain energy-weighted dynamic similarity method is used to assign stiffness distortion similarity factors based on the rotor strain energy distribution. This method ensures that the stiffness and mass distribution of the fan rotor prototype and the similar scaled model are consistent. Based on this method, a similar scaled test bench for the fan rotor system is designed.
[0081] The fan rotor system is taken as a whole to construct the dynamic equation, and the equation analysis method is used to convert the dynamic equation into a similarity relationship;
[0082] In a specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fan rotor system is taken as a whole to construct a dynamic equation, and the dynamic equation is converted into a similarity relationship using an equation analysis method, including:
[0083] Taking the fan rotor system as a whole, the dynamic equation is expressed as:
[0084]
[0085] Where m represents the mass of the fan rotor system, c represents the damping of the fan rotor system, k represents the stiffness of the fan rotor system, x represents the vibration displacement of the fan rotor system, e represents the eccentricity of the turntable, and ω represents the rotational speed;
[0086] Using equation analysis, the kinetic equation is converted into a similarity relationship as follows:
[0087]
[0088] Among them, λ m represents the mass similarity ratio, λ x represents the vibration displacement similarity ratio, λ t represents the temporal similarity ratio, λ c represents the damping similarity ratio, λ k represents the stiffness similarity ratio, λ e represents the similarity ratio of the turntable eccentricity, λ ω It indicates the speed similarity ratio;
[0089] Since the speed and time are reciprocals of each other, according to the equation analysis method, the similarity relationship between the speed and time is:
[0090]
[0091] Then the similarity relationship between the turntable eccentricity and vibration displacement is:
[0092] λ x =λ e
[0093] The speed and natural frequency have the same dimension, and the similarity relationship between speed and natural frequency is also the same:
[0094]
[0095] The similarity ratio represents the ratio of the prototype parameters of the fan rotor system to the model parameters of the combined support rotor system.
[0096] For the widely used equation analysis method and dimensional analysis method, only when λ k1 ,λ k2 ,λ k3 When they are equal, we can determine λ k However, when designing similar scaled models in actual engineering, it is difficult to ensure that λ k1 ,λ k2 ,λ k3Equal, leading to the distortion similarity problem. The distortion similarity prediction of the combined support rotor system is realized based on the dynamic similarity method weighted by strain energy.
[0097] In specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dynamic similarity method based on strain energy weighting specifically includes:
[0098] λ k is the similarity ratio of the stiffness of the entire system, including the similarity ratio of the stiffness of the first support λ k1 , similarity ratio of the second support stiffness λ k2 and rotor stiffness similarity ratio λ k3 , the strain energy is introduced into the distribution of the rotor system stiffness similarity ratio to achieve the distortion similarity prediction of the combined support rotor system. The specific distribution method is as follows:
[0099]
[0100] Among them, U all is the strain energy of the entire system, U1, U2 and U3 are the strain energies of the first support, the second support and the rotor respectively.
[0101] The stiffness of each shaft section of the fan rotor prototype is known, so for the rotor stiffness similarity ratio λ in the above formula k3 , a definite value can be obtained. Similarly, the mass similarity ratio can also be determined, and the stiffness similarity ratio of the entire system is determined according to the distortion similarity relationship.
[0102] The shaft stiffness and support stiffness are determined according to the similarity ratio, the dimensional parameters of each section of the rotating shaft and the structural parameters of the support structure and the magnetorheological damper are determined, and the dimensional parameters of the similar scaled model of the magnetorheological damper rotor system are determined. The rotor model for the test is processed and manufactured, and vibration tests are carried out on the processed magnetorheological damper rotor system with bolted connections.
[0103] Example 1
[0104] This embodiment uses the magnetorheological damper-fan rotor similar vibration test bench of the present invention to verify the influence of the bolted rotor structure on the vibration characteristics of similar scaled rotors. This embodiment is achieved by adding a bolted connection structure to the similar scaled rotor shaft segment, such as Figure 7As shown. The fan shaft section of the aircraft engine rotor realizes the connection between the front and rear shaft sections through a bolt connection structure. After the scaled-down similarity design of each shaft section based on strain energy weighting is carried out, a bolt connection structure is added at the corresponding shaft section position to simulate the prototype rotor. The bolt connection structure connects the front and rear shaft sections together by a stop-bolt connection, and the bolt connection flange is fixed to the rotating shaft by a clamping sleeve. By adjusting the tightness of the clamping sleeve bolts, the position of the bolt connection structure on the rotating shaft can be easily adjusted to change the distance between the front and rear shaft sections, thereby realizing the change of the bolt connection structure and the rotating shaft assembly parameters. When the inner ring of the clamping sleeve is in full contact with the rotating shaft, it can be regarded as that the rotor does not have a bolt connection structure, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 The bolt connection structure requires a total of 10 sets of bolt-nut connections. When the bolt connection parameters need to be adjusted, the number of bolts, bolt arrangement position, and bolt tightening sequence can be changed to conduct a test on the effect of bolt connection structure parameter changes on the vibration characteristics of the fan rotor with a similar-scale magnetorheological damper.
[0105] Example 2
[0106] This example uses the magnetorheological damper-fan rotor similarity vibration test bench described in the present invention to verify the effects of varying current intensities on the vibration characteristics of a magnetorheological damper rotor system. This example uses a DC power supply with an adjustable fixed current to power the four coils of the magnetorheological damper at the rotor's two end supports. The DC power supply has a maximum current of 4A. Manual control is used to apply varying fixed currents to the magnetorheological damper, generating a specific magnetic field in the coils and altering the damper's oil film stiffness in all directions. An electrical control system is used to activate a variable-frequency motor. Eddy current sensors are positioned near the two turntables and the supports, collecting data across the entire speed range and transmitting it to a vibration measurement and acquisition device. Data processing ultimately yields the dynamic vibration characteristics of the rotor system under varying current levels, including axis trajectory, time-domain response, frequency response curve, and waterfall plot. By comparing the dynamic vibration characteristics under varying current levels, the impact of varying current intensities on the vibration characteristics of the magnetorheological damper rotor system is analyzed.
[0107] Example 3
[0108] This embodiment uses the magnetorheological damper-fan rotor similarity vibration test bench of the present invention to verify the effects of different active control algorithms on the vibration suppression of a magnetorheological damper rotor system. This embodiment uses a computer 4 to write different active control algorithms (such as PID control and neural network control) into a Dspace control system 3. Eddy current sensors 33 are used to collect vibration signals in real time from different measurement points in the rotor system in both the X and Y directions. The vibration displacement signals are then negatively fed back to a Dspace controller. The Dspace vibration test device processes the signals, and the Dspace control system calculates the output current based on the vibration signals, changing the current in the damper coil in real time to achieve active vibration suppression of the rotor system. By plotting the axis trajectory, time domain response, frequency response curve, and waterfall plot of the dynamic vibration characteristics of the magnetorheological damper rotor system under different control algorithms, the dynamic characteristics of the rotor system under different control algorithms are compared, and the effects of different active vibration suppression technologies on the real-time control of rotor vibration displacement are analyzed.
[0109] Example 4
[0110] This embodiment uses the magnetorheological damper-fan rotor similar vibration test bench of the present invention to verify the influence of the turntables with different masses and different positions on the vibration characteristics of similar scaled rotors. This embodiment is achieved by changing the turntable mass parameters on the similar scaled rotor shaft segment through the expansion sleeve, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the fan shaft section of an aircraft engine rotor is connected to a turntable via a locking sleeve to simulate the mass distribution of the prototype rotor fan shaft section. The turntable is fixed to the shaft via the locking sleeve. Adjusting the tension of the locking sleeve bolts allows for easy adjustment of the turntable's position on the shaft. Turntables of varying masses and moments of inertia can also be replaced, changing the model rotor's mass parameters to simulate different fan mass distributions. Screws can also be installed at different positions in the threaded holes on the turntable's edge to change the rotor system's mass eccentricity parameters. This allows for testing the effects of rotor mass parameter changes on the vibration characteristics of a similar-scale magnetorheological damper rotor.
