Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of ship vibration and noise, and particularly relates to a fast calculation method for vibration transmission of a propulsion shafting with an arbitrary complex cross section of a ship. BACKGROUND

[0002] The shafting vibration characteristics of a ship propulsion system, as a main vibration source and sound source path, are one of the objects of focus for the underwater vehicle radiation noise. Traditional ships mostly use long propulsion shafts to transmit power from the middle or front part of the ship to the propeller at the stern, while modern ships mostly use a direct drive arrangement at the stern, with the motor arranged at the stern of the ship body and the pump-jet propeller directly connected to the propulsion motor, effectively reducing the length of the propulsion shaft.

[0003] Current modeling methods for the propulsion shafting include a refined finite element method and a simplified theoretical method. The refined finite element method is complex, time-consuming and slow in calculation, which is not conducive to the rapid evaluation of the shafting vibration characteristics. The simplified theoretical modeling method, such as regarding the propulsion shaft as a uniform Euler-Bernoulli beam, does not consider the complexity of the cross section of the propulsion shaft and the shear deformation; in addition, the bearing is regarded as a three-direction fixed stiffness spring single-point support, ignoring the influence of the bearing span on the propulsion shaft vibration, and not considering the variable stiffness characteristics of the bearing under water lubrication or oil lubrication. Although this simplified modeling method of the propulsion shafting is feasible in studying the general law of the shafting vibration characteristics, it still has a large difference from the real situation in terms of the complex model of the propulsion shaft and the ship body in practical applications, and the calculation results are still not completely reliable.

[0004] In the prior art, patent CN 111749986A discloses a propulsion shaft transverse vibration active control device, which arranges a stern bearing, an intermediate bearing and a thrust bearing in the axial direction of the propulsion shaft, and introduces an electromagnetic bearing assembly, a displacement sensor and a controller on the propulsion shaft to detect and suppress the transverse vibration of the shaft in real time. This scheme mainly focuses on improving the transverse vibration state of the propulsion shaft through active control, so as to reduce the bearing friction noise and vibration transmission.

[0005] However, this prior art scheme still has the following main technical problems: first, the control focus is limited to transverse vibration, and does not cover longitudinal vibration, torsional vibration and vibration coupling transmission under complex cross section and non-uniform support conditions at the same time; second, this scheme focuses on adding control devices to the existing shafting structure, and does not provide a fast vibration transmission calculation method suitable for an arbitrary complex cross section and multi-section variable stiffness support condition, which is difficult to efficiently predict the shafting modal and response in the design stage.

[0107] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0108] In the prior art system, the propulsion shafting of a submarine and a large ship often has a multi-section variable cross-section structure, accompanied by complex support arrangement and shaft coupling, and its vibration characteristics directly affect the noise level and propulsion efficiency during sailing. However, the traditional finite element modeling method needs to divide the entire long shaft into global mesh, and the calculation scale is large. When facing the change of multi-stage bearing support stiffness and the influence of hub mass inertia, the solution convergence speed is slow, and it is difficult to quickly obtain stable modal analysis results within the engineering design cycle. This problem is particularly prominent in ship stealth and long-period sailing tasks, and has a substantial restriction on industrial application.

[0109] To solve the above problems, the method abstracts complex components such as bearings and couplings into spring and concentrated mass points by establishing an equivalent shafting model, so that the system can be divided into multiple short shafts and coupled by using a transfer matrix. This processing avoids the complex calculation of global finite elements and converts the originally high-dimensional overall problem into a recursive relationship between multiple substructures, greatly improving the calculation efficiency. Especially in the scene where the cross-sectional shape of the shafting changes frequently, the transfer matrix method can adapt to the parameters of each segment flexibly and reduce the dependence on the accuracy of single geometric modeling.

[0110] The present application is based on the Timoshenko beam theory, and each short shaft is regarded as an elastic beam element considering shear deformation and moment of inertia effect. In three degrees of freedom of transverse vibration, longitudinal expansion and torsional vibration, local modal functions can be established by ordinary differential equations. Then, combined with the inertia boundary conditions at the hub end and the stiffness boundary conditions at the coupling end, a complete boundary constraint system is formed. Finally, the modal functions of each segment are spliced by the transfer matrix to form the vibration modal solution of the overall propulsion shafting.

[0111] In the natural vibration analysis, the system uses twelve boundary conditions at the hub and coupling ports to establish a matrix equation, and calculates the characteristic condition that the determinant is zero, so as to solve the natural circular frequency and mode shape of the shafting. Compared with the traditional finite element method, this method can converge to the real mode more quickly, and has a significant advantage in the calculation requirement of complex cross-section propulsion shaft. In the engineering application of ship propulsion system, accurate modal parameters can be provided for the design stage to assist in optimizing the support arrangement and coupling configuration.

[0112] In terms of forced vibration response, the method simulates the hydrodynamic disturbance generated by the propeller in the non-uniform flow field by applying three-direction external excitation at the hub position. Combined with the transfer matrix recursive process, the vibration response of each shaft segment under different frequency excitation can be obtained in real time. This provides a reliable tool for evaluating the vibration transmission path of the propulsion system under specific working conditions and determining the key dangerous frequency range, and can provide a scientific basis for the design of vibration reduction measures.

[0113] The present application not only solves the contradiction between complex shafting modeling and calculation efficiency, but also solves the vibration transmission problem under the conditions of multiple segments, multiple cross-sections and variable stiffness support by using a modular transfer matrix solution method. The principle is clear and has strong scalability, and can be widely applied to the industrial practice of submarine, destroyer, large cargo ship and other ship propulsion systems. It has practical value for reducing navigation noise, improving propulsion reliability and prolonging bearing life.

[0119] A propulsion shaft system of an existing warship generally comprises main components such as a propulsion shaft, a hub, a propulsion motor, a thrust bearing, a stern bearing and the like, as shown in (a). Figure 3 The thrust bearing can provide three-direction stiffness dominated by longitudinal stiffness for the shaft, and the stern bearing only provides lateral stiffness and vertical stiffness; the propulsion motor is connected with the end of the propulsion shaft through a high-elastic coupling, and the coupling stiffness is relatively small compared with the bearing. The cross-sectional dimension of the propulsion shaft is variable, as shown in (b), the shaft diameter is non-uniform and variable and can contain a cavity, and is elastically supported by the bearing and the coupling, and the elastic support is simulated by a spring with variable stiffness with frequency in the dynamic modeling, which is more in line with the variable characteristics of the bearing oil film stiffness.

[0219] Unit longitudinal (X-direction) excitation force and transverse (Y-direction) excitation force are respectively applied at the hub end, and the vibration displacement response results of the hub excitation origin and the coupling end at 500 Hz are shown in Table 5, and the peak points of the response curve correspond to the natural frequencies. Figure 6

[0220] 4 Case summary

[0221] The above case shows that the analytical method is feasible for the calculation of natural frequencies of the propulsion shaft system and the rapid calculation of vibration transmission, and compared with the conventional finite element modeling method, a series of tedious processes such as meshing, loading setting, and solution calculation are omitted or simplified. The method only needs to manually modify the corresponding parameters and quickly get the calculation results, and has the characteristics of low threshold, high efficiency, and high reliability of calculation results.

[0222] Figure 6 The results shown in Table 5 give the displacement response characteristics of the hub end and the coupling end at different frequencies. From Figure 6 (a), it can be seen that the response amplitude of the hub end is large at low frequencies, and shows obvious resonance peaks at certain natural frequencies. With the increase of frequency, the response gradually decays to below 10^-10 m, but still appears sharp peaks near 200 Hz and 300 Hz, which indicates that when the hub end is excited by the blade hydrodynamic force, the vibration mainly concentrates in the low-order mode interval, and there is a difference between the responses in the transverse and longitudinal directions.

[0223] Figure 6 ​(b) The overall amplitude of the shaft coupling end displacement response is larger than that of the hub end, especially showing stronger vibration energy transmission at low frequencies below 100 Hz. Multiple high-order resonance peaks are distributed in the 200-400 Hz range, with amplitudes significantly higher than the corresponding points of the hub end, indicating that the coupling position is more likely to become a concentrated transmission area of shaft system vibration energy. At the same time, the X and Y direction curves show the phenomenon of mispeaking in multiple frequency bands, reflecting the coupling effect of the shaft system in different directions.

[0224] In summary Figure 6 The response characteristics of the two endpoints can be seen, and the method can effectively capture the influence of different boundary conditions on the vibration energy distribution under the transfer matrix framework. The hub end mainly reflects the input characteristics under hydrodynamic excitation, while the coupling end reflects the overall transmission and amplification of the shaft system. The comparison verifies the effectiveness of the fast calculation method in predicting the response of complex shaft systems, providing a basis for optimizing support arrangement and vibration isolation design in engineering.
