Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Rotating machinery or turbomachinery is a machine with a rotating component that transfers energy to a fluid or vice versa. Consequently, in a turbomachine there is energy transfer between the fluid and the rotor through dynamic interaction.

The current Special Issue invites archival-quality papers in the broad aspects of component and system technologies for Rotating Machinery. We hope to establish a collection of papers that will be of interest to scholars in the field.  Contributions in the form of full papers, reviews, and communications about the related topics are very welcome.

In order to evaluate the impacts of parameter uncertainty and nonparametric uncertainty on the natural characteristics of a dual-rotor system, a nonparametric probabilistic method based on random matrix theory is proposed. In this paper, a nonparametric Riccati whole transfer model is derived based on the maximum entropy principle and the random matrix theory. It is used to model a dual-rotor system with nonparametric uncertainty, as well as to calculate the natural characteristics of the system. Furthermore, the impacts of parameter uncertainty and nonparametric uncertainty on the natural characteristics at the intermediate support element and at the disk-shaft element are discussed using numerical simulations, and the results are compared with related references. The results show that at the same level of uncertainties, the effect of nonparametric uncertainty is often more significant than that of parameter uncertainty. The effects of uncertainties also increase with the level of uncertainties. The results of this paper provide a theoretical basis for the design of uncertain dual-rotor and multi-rotor systems.

The rotary vector reducer is the core component of industrial robots, and the transmission efficiency is undoubtedly an important indicator of transmission performance. In addition, the assembly dimensional chain leads to clearance between parts, which can have a certain impact on the transmission efficiency. During previous studies, this effect was often ignored. Firstly, the cycloid tooth profile is a relatively large collection of points. Therefore, a more efficient tooth profile model is employed as the basis for the calculation. Secondly, the contact between the cycloid and the pinion is determined by experimental observation to be a point contact rather than a theoretical line contact. Moreover, the dynamics and friction loss models of the cycloid–pinion system are constructed. Finally, the assembly dimensional chain is introduced into the different structural designs. The clearance results were obtained with the extreme value method. The results show that the addition of the pinion sleeve allows the system to have a smoother drive process and a more efficient transmission; this was verified with ADAMS. Full article
