Theoretical Analysis and Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Characteristics of Hydrostatic Guides for Heavy NC Machine Tool
Based on analysis of hydrostatic bearing with circular pocket, equations of static pressure, volvme pressure and squeezing pressure which influence dynamic characteristics of hydrostatic guides with rectangle pocket have been deduced. The function and their influencing factors of the three kinds pressure mentioned above are clarified. The amplitude-phase-frequency characteristics of the hydrostatic guides system have been analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, it is indicated that the sensitive oil volume has greater effect on the stability of the guide, the volume should be reduced as small as possible while the hydrostatic guides meet the needs of the field working situation. To increasing the oil visosity properly is also helpful to improve the dynamic performance of hydrostatic guides.
FEA on the Oil Film of the Hydrostatic Slider
The design of hydrostatic slider was introduced.The pressure distribution of oil film in a hydrostatic slider was investigated.The mathematical equations of oil film pressure were deduced according to the hydro-lubrication theory and Reynolds equations.The analysis and calculating methods of the stiffness and the load capacity of oil film were presented by adopting the methods of finite element analysis(FEA).A practical sample was simulated with Marc.The contour band,curves of the pressure distribution with the load capacity and the stiffness of oil film were achieved.The numerical results indicate that it is accurate enough to meet the demand of the design.
Computer-Aided System of Virtual Testing of Gas Turbine Engines
The article describes the concept of a virtual lab that includes subsystem of gas turbine engine simulation, subsystem of experiment planning, subsystem of measurement errors simulation, subsystem of simulator identification and others. The basis for virtual lab development is the computer-aided system of thermogasdynamic research and analysis “ASTRA”. The features of gas turbine engine transient modes simulator are described. The principal difference between the simulators of transient and stationary modes of gas turbine engines is that the energy balance of the compressor and turbine becomes not applicable. The computer-aided system of virtual gas turbine engine testing was created using the developed transient modes simulator. This system solves the tasks of operational (throttling, speed, climatic, altitude) characteristics calculation, analysis of transient dynamics and selection of optimal control laws. Besides, the system of virtual gas turbine engine testing is a clear demonstration of gas turbine engine working process and the regularities of engine elements collaboration. The interface of the system of virtual gas turbine engine testing is described in the article and some screenshots of the interface elements are provided. The developed system of virtual gas turbine engine testing provides means for reducing the laboriousness of gas turbine engines testing. Besides, the implementation of this system in the learning process allows the diversification of lab works and therefore improve the quality of training.
