Download or read book Critical Component Wear in Heavy Duty Engines written by P. A. Lakshminarayanan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-07 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The critical parts of a heavy duty engine are theoretically designed for infinite life without mechanical fatigue failure. Yet the life of an engine is in reality determined by wear of the critical parts. Even if an engine is designed and built to have normal wear life, abnormal wear takes place either due to special working conditions or increased loading. Understanding abnormal and normal wear enables the engineer to control the external conditions leading to premature wear, or to design the critical parts that have longer wear life and hence lower costs. The literature on wear phenomenon related to engines is scattered in numerous periodicals and books. For the first time, Lakshminarayanan and Nayak bring the tribological aspects of different critical engine components together in one volume, covering key components like the liner, piston, rings, valve, valve train and bearings, with methods to identify and quantify wear. The first book to combine solutions to critical component wear in one volume Presents real world case studies with suitable mathematical models for earth movers, power generators, and sea going vessels Includes material from researchers at Schaeffer Manufacturing (USA), Tekniker (Spain), Fuchs (Germany), BAM (Germany), Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd (India) and Tarabusi (Spain) Wear simulations and calculations included in the appendices Instructor presentations slides with book figures available from the companion site Critical Component Wear in Heavy Duty Engines is aimed at postgraduates in automotive engineering, engine design, tribology, combustion and practitioners involved in engine R&D for applications such as commercial vehicles, cars, stationary engines (for generators, pumps, etc.), boats and ships. This book is also a key reference for senior undergraduates looking to move onto advanced study in the above topics, consultants and product mangers in industry, as well as engineers involved in design of furnaces, gas turbines, and rocket combustion.

Download or read book Internal Combustion Engine Cold Testing written by Rauf Tailony and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-10 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internal combustion engine cold test is becoming one of the main tests performed during the late stage of the product development and production quality inspection. Analyzing the status of the engine is required before releasing it to the consumers market. The cold test is a station with a highly optimized design, where it is capable of inspecting the functionality of various components and properties of the engine in a relatively short period of time during the production process. The studies included in the coming sections are trying to achieve an accurate engine testing data which leads to a reliable decision regarding the engine health and efficiency. The cold testing stand is a vibratory source with a high complexity, for the fact of having many parameters and assemblies that play a role in forming the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) of the testing stand. A better understanding of the machine dynamics behavior can be achieved by creating a torsional vibratory model and calculating the driveline natural frequencies. Calculating the natural frequencies of the system is crucial for avoiding resonance excitations during the testing phase. Eigenvalue problem solution was constructed; the natural frequencies and the mode shapes were obtained. The calculated natural frequencies are showed a deviation of less than 5% of the measured values.Engine cold testing process depends mainly on the feedback of the mounted sensors on the driveline and the engine itself. Feedback signals carry information about the rotating speed, the engine noise and vibration, the manifold pressures and the torque values. The clarity of these signals affects the accuracy and the utility of the cold test during the engine development. The engine, the driveline, and the electric motor system operate at high speeds that generate axial and lateral vibrations. The failure of any part of the assembly distorts the signals and induces backlash or harmonic amplification. A backlash study is conducted by analyzing the harmonic distortions and a methodology to locate and eliminate the mechanical interruption source is explained. The elastic properties of the cold test driveline are essential in predicting the torsional dynamic behavior of the system. The occurrence of torsional vibrations compels designers to apply several approaches to shift the critical speeds away from the engine operating range. Existing conventional methods for reducing the torsions deformation caused by the compliance backlash were reviewed. A systematic approach is proposed for the backlash calculation through the torque signatures differentiation, and for designing an external collar damper to suppress the backlash periodic impact.The cold test stands accommodate different bearing supported areas, wherever needed to ensure the structural durability of the design. These bearings vary in type and functionality. Some bearings are located along the driveline, while others are embedded in the variable frequency drive (VFD) driving the rotating machinery of the cold test stand, up to the engine crankshaft bearings. The presence of several bearings along the power line makes it a challenge to determine the defect source when it occurs. If the cause of the malfunction is due to failure of one of the supporting bearings, then a downtime is needed for the engine maintenance and diagnostics. The following pages include methods for analyzing the data feedback of the cold test sensory and propose a new approach that can be conveniently applied to eliminate the bearing related harmonic distortions in the powertrain. Novel mathematical methods, graphical procedures, and innovative designs are included to enhance the cold testing performance and efficiency.

Download or read book Novel Framework for Reduced Order Modeling of Aero engine Components written by Ali Al Safi and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study focuses on the popular dynamic reduction methods used in design of complex assemblies (millions of Degrees of Freedom) where numerous iterations are involved to achieve the final design. Aerospace manufacturers such as Rolls Royce and Pratt Whitney are actively seeking techniques that reduce computational time while maintaining accuracy of the models. This involves modal analysis of components with complex geometries to determine the dynamic behavior due to non-linearity and complicated loading conditions. In such a case the sub-structuring and dynamic reduction techniques prove to be an efficient tool to reduce design cycle time. The components whose designs are finalized can be dynamically reduced to mass and stiffness matrices at the boundary nodes in the assembly. These matrices conserve the dynamics of the component in the assembly, and thus avoid repeated calculations during the analysis runs for design modification of other components. This thesis presents a novel framework in terms of modeling and meshing of any complex structure, in this case an aero-engine casing. In this study the affect of meshing techniques on the run time are highlighted. The modal analysis is carried out using an extremely fine mesh to ensure all minor details in the structure are captured correctly in the Finite Element (FE) model. This is used as the reference model, to compare against the results of the reduced model. The study also shows the conditions/criteria under which dynamic reduction can be implemented effectively, proving the accuracy of Criag-Bampton (C.B.) method and limitations of Static Condensation. The study highlights the longer runtime needed to produce the reduced matrices of components compared to the overall runtime of the complete unreduced model. Although once the components are reduced, the assembly run is significantly. Hence the decision to use Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) is to be taken judiciously considering the number of iterations that may be required during the design cycle.
