Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Rotor dynamics is a subject studying the dynamic characteristics of rotors and other components in rotating machinery. Modern rotor dynamics mainly focuses on complex rotor systems represented by gas turbines, centrifugal/axial-flow compressors, aero-engines, and wind turbines. Strict performance requirements and a harsh service environment make the vibration problem of rotating machinery increasingly prominent, which is mainly reflected in the complicated nonlinear dynamic behaviors caused by rotor–stator structural couplings and multifield coupling.

At present, the research on rotor dynamics and vibration control mainly involves:

  • dynamic modeling of rotor systems;
  • critical speed and vibration response calculation;
  • flexible rotor dynamic balance technology;
  • dynamic characteristics of various bearing-supporting rotors;
  • dynamic stability of rotor systems;
  • nonlinear dynamics of rotor systems;
  • rotor system vibration fault and its diagnosis technology;
  • active and passive vibration reduction of rotor systems;
  • vibration of rotor systems under multifield coupling excitation.

Due to the advantages of high transmission accuracy and high impact resistance, cycloid-pin gear drives are widely used in precision machinery. In the actual manufacturing and use process, a suitable clearance must be left between the cycloid gear and the pin teeth to meet the requirements of assembly lubrication, so the cycloid gear needs to be modified. In order to improve the performance of the cycloid-pin gear drive, this paper proposes a multi-objective optimization modification method which takes into account the maximum transmission error of the cycloid drive on the basis of the compound modification. Firstly, a compound modification function is constructed based on the equations of the cycloid gear. Tooth contact analysis is carried out on the cycloid gear to obtain the equations for calculating the transmission error and return error of the cycloid pinion drive and to solve for the transmission error and return error of a single cycle with different modification coefficients. Then, a multi-objective optimization model is constructed, and the optimum coefficients are solved by genetic algorithm. By analyzing the forces on the cycloid gear under load, the range, the number and the contact force of meshing teeth are calculated for different modification methods. At the end, the cycloid gear is modeled and finite element analyzed after multi-objective optimization modification and compound modification according to the optimal modification coefficients. By finite element analysis, the correctness of the theoretical calculation of the contact force of the modified cycloid gear and the loading transmission error is solved. The contact forces and transmission error of the multi-objective optimization modification are less than the compound modification. The theoretical calculation and finite element analysis indicate that the cycloid profile with the multi-objective optimization modification is better than the profile with the compound modification.

Considering rotation-induced centrifugal stiffening, spin softening, and Coriolis effects, the reduced dynamic model of a rotating blade with a dovetail fixture is established in the ANSYS environment via the fixed-interface method for higher computational efficiency and lower memory consumption. Then some parameters such as rotating speed, friction factor, and stator blade number affecting the nonlinear vibration responses of the system under the combined actions of aerodynamic force, centrifugal force, and gravity are elaborately discussed. The results show that: (1) the contact-induced nonlinearity between the tenon and the mortise mainly results in the frequency multiplications of the aerodynamic excitation frequency; (2) a larger friction factor results in a lower magnitude of contact pressure and a higher resonance frequency, while a larger stator blade number results in a lower magnitude of the uniform and continuous contact pressure distribution; (3) the excitation of the resonant mode caused by the aerodynamic force is primarily characterized by the first-order bending mode of the system.

Planetary gear systems have many advantages over other gear systems. Previous studies on its dynamic characteristics mostly used Earth as the reference system, which is inconsistent with the actual working conditions of many planetary gear systems, such as aircraft maneuvering, vehicle movement changes, etc. By analyzing representative research papers, this study summarizes the lumped-parameter, finite element, and rigid–flexible coupling models commonly used in studying the traditional dynamic characteristics. Then, the research status of gear–rotor and planetary gear systems in inertial and non-inertial systems is summarized. The research progress of load characteristics, vibration characteristics, and vibration control of the traditional planetary gear system is summarized. Finally, some suggestions for future development are put forward. There are a few studies on the non-inertial dynamics of planetary gear systems. The three analysis models have distinct characteristics and applications but can all be used in non-inertial systems. The dynamic analysis method of non-inertial rotor systems can be combined with the dynamic study of gear systems. It is of practical significance to study the non-inertial dynamic characteristics of planetary gear systems. Scholars can refer to the non-inertial dynamic research of the gear–rotor system, select the analysis model according to the needs, and continue to study the dynamic characteristics of the planetary gear system under the non-inertial system.
