Numerical simulation of dynamic response and radiation noise of gearbox

Considering the internal dynamic excitation produced by stiffness excitation, error excitation and mesh impact excitation, a dynamic finite element model of transmission system and structure system of gearbox is established. The normal mode and the dynamic responses of gearbox under the internal dynamic excitation are calculated by using the numerical simulation software ANSYS. Based on the result of dynamic responses, the boundary excitation condition is determined, and then the acoustic boundary element model is built. With the software of SYSNOISE, the surface acoustic pressure of gearbox and the radiation noise of field points are solved by the direct boundary element method. The test of airborne noise is carried out. The computational results obtained are in a good agreement with the data of experimental test.     

Junction stiffness analysis and vibration noise prediction of wind power speed-increase gearbox

In order to study the vibration characteristics and radiation noise of wind power speed-increase gearbox, a torsional vibration model of wind power speed-increase gearbox is established based on the analysis of supporting stiffness of bearing and contact stiffness of gear pairs. By solving the vibration differential equation with the help of Matlab, the frequency and corresponding vibration mode are obtained. With taking stiffness excitation, error exaction and meshing impact exaction into account, the dynamic finite element model of speed-increase gearbox is set up, and the dynamic response simulation is carried out. Regarding vibration displacement of the nodes on gearbox surface as boundary condition, an acoustic boundary element model of speed-increase gearbox is built. The surface acoustic pressure of gearbox and the radiation noise of field points are solved by the direct boundary element method. The results show that there is a great difference between torsion frequency and excitation frequency of wind power speed-increase gearbox, and so the resonance doesn't occur. The maximum structural noise and radiation noise mainly appear near the double octave of the gears meshing frequency of high-speed grade.     

An analysis method of thermodynamic cycle for Stirling engine

The second-order analysis approach for the cycle of Stirling engine is amended on the basis of mechanical loss and the temperature check of heater and radiator. Stirling engine is taken as the object, the alternating flow and heat exchange process of GPU-3 Stirling engine is simulated, and the changing rules of its internal pressure, temperature, velocity, power and efficiency are obtained. The simulation results are identical to the test results of NASA. The amended second-order analysis approach is used to analyze the effect of engine’s rotating speed, working substance and average pressure on the engine’s output performance. The error of the amended approach is less than 20%. The approach may be useful for the optimization design and the characteristic analysis of Stirling engine.
