Program design of an online dynamic balancing system for grinding-wheel and spindle
For unbalance of grinding wheel and spindle system in high-speed grinding process, an online dynamic balancing program is proposed. Firstly unbalance factors during grinding process are analyzed, and vibration features excited by these centrifugal forces are defined. Based on these works, technologies on wheel-spindle online dynamic balancing are introduced, including sensor selection and setting, vibration signal and phase angle measurement, signal amplification and analog filtering, A/D conversion, digital filtering, unbalance solution, dynamic balancing device and its drive and control. Finally, a wheel-spindle online dynamic balancing program is designed, which will have a good engineering application prospect in CNC machine spindle system.
Research of the Dynamic Imbalance Signal Processing Technology Based on LabVIEW
According to the information characteristics of the dynamic imbalance signal and the definition of correlation function,the principles and algorithm of relevant filter with automatic follow were given.In LabVIEW development system,based on the principles of relevant filter with automatic follow,the graphics programming of extracting the dynamic imbalance signal was developed,through this programming,the vibration signal including different frequency harmonic signals and noise was processed by simulation and application experiment.The results show that,through relevant filter with automatic follow,the dynamic imbalance signal with different rotating speed can be extracted accurately.This relevant filter with automatic follow can be adapted to the requirement of high-precision dynamic balancing measurement with rotating speed variation,and it has better applied value.
Neutron Residual Stress Measurements on Rail Sections for Different Production Conditions
Rail sectioning with subsequent neutron diffraction experiments has been used to assess residual stresses in the rails. In this study we present the results of neutron stress measurements performed at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) on rail sections from rails that were produced under various conditions. Specifically, these are air-cooled, air-cooled and roller-straightened, head-hardened and head-hardened and roller-straightened. More significantly, a head-hardened and roller-straightened rail was also studied after service to elucidate evolution of the service-induced residual stresses. In the latter case both a transverse-cut slice and the central region of a 0.53 m long piece were studied. Measurements on this piece are the first in which triaxial stresses have been determined for an intact rail. Neutron strain measurements with 3×3×3 mm3 spatial resolution were successfully employed for transversally cut slices to verify the difference in the stress state depending on the production process. Although examination of slices allows determination of only two-dimensional stresses in the plane of the slice, additional measurements on obliquely-cut slices, which were also carried out, and utilization of FEM gives the possibility of reconstructing the full triaxial stress distribution. Together, these approaches provide a better understanding of rail fabrication and the possibility of improving the durability and safety of rails in the future.Copyright © 2004 by ASME
