Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Machines are generally complex systems where different kinds of components are characterized by extremely variable physics: Rigid (or almost rigid) bodies, their contacts and constraints as part of linkages; compressible or incompressible fluids (e.g., in tubes, pumps, etc.); flexible bodies (e.g., structures); fluid structural interactions (e.g., clusters of tube in heat exchangers); mechatronic systems and their digital controllers.

Therefore, the goal of this Special Issue is to publish original contributions regarding theoretical, numerical and experimental methods for investigating the dynamics and vibration of machines. Analytical methodologies for local or global analyses of static and dynamic stability are welcome, in particular, when the theories give simple and clear interpretation of machine dynamics. We accept papers presenting new numerical approaches for modeling complex machines including: Multi-impacts, unconventional damping, large deformations, hyperelasticity, and breathing cracks. At the same time, papers considering traditional numerical methods applied to the analysis of new dynamic phenomena are encouraged.

Experimental studies are greatly appreciated as long as they support theoretical or numerical techniques for validation purposes; in addition, fully experimental works are welcome when, for example, they furnish data for benchmarking purposes or disclose new/unexpected dynamic phenomena.

To achieve high-quality vibration isolation and trajectory following control of a cable driven parallel robot based Stewart platform in the five hundred meter aperture spherical radio telescope (FAST) design, the integrated dynamic model of the Stewart platform including the electric cylinder is established in this paper, the globally feedback linearization of the dynamic model is implemented based on the control law partitioning approach. To overcome the disadvantages of the external disturbance on the base and unmodeled flexibility of the mechanism, a PID (Proportional-Derivative-Integral) controller with base acceleration feedforward is designed in the operational space of the Stewart platform. Experiments of the vibration isolation and trajectory following control of the cable suspended Stewart platform with presence of the base disturbance is carried out. The experimental results show that the presented control scheme has the advantage of stable dynamics, high accuracy and strong robustness. Full article

The most common cause of the excessive vibration in rotating machines is the rotor mass unbalance. If a machine vibration due to mass unbalance exceeds the alarm limits, then it may lead to machine failure. Therefore, rotating machines should be regularly checked to ensure that they are properly balanced. Currently, industries use the influence coefficient (IC) balancing technique for in situ machine balancing. The accepted practice is to use the vibration measurements in both vertical and horizontal directions at the machine-bearing pedestals together with the tachometer signal to estimate the machine rotor unbalance (both mass and phase angle). It is generally believed that the use of the machine vibration measurements in the vertical and horizontal directions represents better machine dynamics, and hence the estimated unbalance is likely to be more accurate. However, this paper applies the same concept of the IC method but with a reduced number of vibration sensors (one sensor per bearing pedestal at 45° instead of two sensors at the vertical and horizontal directions). The use of one sensor per bearing pedestal at 45° from both vertical and horizontal directions is likely to have responses from both directions. The reduction in the number of sensors by half will definitely save the instruments and their maintenance cost and reduce the computational effort in the signal processing significantly. The proposed concept is applied on a small-size laboratory rig with two balancing planes. The paper presents the unbalance estimations by using the measured vibration responses in both the vertical and horizontal directions simultaneously and using vibration responses measured at 45°.
