Análise do comportamento dinâmico de rotores embarcados

Abstract

In the present work, a numerical and experimental investigation regarding the dynamic behavior of a rotating machine subjected to a base excitation is presented. Regarding the aeronautical applications, the aircraft engine is considered a typical onboard rotor which has its dynamic behavior influenced by base excitations. The mathematical model of the rotor is derived from the Lagrange’s equation and the finite element method, which is obtained by considering the strain and kinetic energies of the shaft, and the kinetic energy of the discs and mass unbalance. In this case, the base of the rotor system is considered as being rigid. The resulting differential equations are used to provide information about the vibration responses of the rotor under base and unbalance excitations simultaneously. In the numerical analysis a rotating machine composed by a horizontal flexible shaft containing two rigid discs and supported by two ball bearings was investigated. The differences between the dynamic behavior of a fixed base and onboard rotors were explored. A rotating machine is composed by a horizontal flexible shaft, one rigid disc, and two self-aligning ball bearings was used in the experimental validation of the adopted model. The vibration responses of the mathematical model and the experimental results were compared. Different analyses were performed both in the time and frequency domains, as generated by the orbits, unbalance response, and Campbell diagram. The obtained results adequately represent the behavior of the system.
