摘要:Considering solid particle,the elastohydrodynamic lubrication model of spur gear under oscillation condition is set up. The influences of solid particle on elastohydrodynamic lubrication of spur gear under sine law oscillation condition are studied,taking time- variant effect into account. The influence of a single solid particle,solid particles distribution density and solid particles speeds on oil film pressure and film thickness are analyzed. The results show that,the oil film pressure and film thickness under oscillation condition are in the cases of a similar double hump shape distribution. Considering solid particles centre film pressure and the maximum film pressure vary little,but centre film thickness and the minimum film thickness decrease remarkably. The greater solid particle distribution density is,the larger centre film pressure and the maximum film pressure are. The greater solid particles distribution density is,the thinner centre film thickness and the minimum film thickness are. The solid particles make evident differences to the minimum film thickness,if speed of solid particles is high,the minimum film thickness diminishes dramatically.

摘要:The vibration data from defective gearboxes generally exhibit non- stationary and nonlinear property. As a result,it seems hard to effectively monitor the running status of gearbox by using the conventional time domain statistical parameters method which is based on stationary and linear theory. In order to solve this problem,the method of time series statistical linguistic analysis is adopted to examine gearbox vibration data and a novel method for gearbox condition monitoring based on time series statistical linguistic analysis is proposed. Firstly,an original series is mapped into a word- occurrence- frequency series,afterwards,a correlation coefficient of two word- occurrence- frequency series for the initial condition and another condition is used as a characteristic parameter for detecting a change of gearbox conditions. Finally,the proposed method is applied to condition monitoring of a realistic gearbox. The results indicated that the proposed method can both effectively detect changes of gearbox conditions and unravel a natural evolutionary process of gearbox conditions.In addition,the proposed method has a clear advantage over the conventional time domain statistical parameters method in condition monitoring of gearbox.
摘要:For the problem of the impact of the lubricant viscosity on the rear axle transmission efficiency,by using the adaptive neural- network fuzzy inference method,a five- dimensional transmission efficiency controller based on ANFIS structure is designed. By using the subtractive clustering method,a set of fuzzy rules with language property is generated adaptively. Through the training,the various parameters of the ANFIS controller are optimized. After the testing,the results show that the fuzzy controller can well predict the rear axle transmission efficiency of different types of lubricant at the different input speed and the input torque. According to the analysis of the surface map,when the rear axle load on the same condition,the lubricant which has the higher viscosity index has the greater contribution to the transmission efficiency. When the rear axle load is large,the effectiveness of the lubricant to the transmission efficiency is more apparent.
摘要:When rolling element bearing occurred incipient fault,its vibration signal from bearing seat is usually very weak,and the hidden impulse components may be masked by machine noise or background noise,making it difficult to extract the fault features by frequency spectrum or envelope spectrum analysis. Through the method of minimum entropy deconvolution( MED),the signal to noise ratio can be improved,and the impulse components from fault signal can be highlighted. The MED method is applied to corresponding deconvolution filtering for three typical early fault signals from rolling element,outer race,and inner race. Then,through the amplitude spectrum and envelope demodulation analysis,the corresponding typical fault features of rolling element bearing are successfully extracted. The effectiveness and advantage of MED method in incipient fault diagnosis of rolling element bearing is verified by the application results.
