ABSTRACT

In the article presented we deal with behaviour system of an observed rotor that is a model of the finite element method at a specific time. Time behaviours of faulty and failure-free controlling units (shaft), respectively, with different fault places represent the dynamic behaviour. In such cases effects of the own weight and unbalance transpire. Thereafter, the induced system is considered, with the nominal signal depending on the amplitude of harmonic or segmenting aberration. Model of the finite element method stands for the "experimental" investigation method of the dynamic system behaviour if there are neither the decomposition of systemic arrangement nor the accurate systemic reactions present.

It is impossible to anticipate and lay out all of the possible cases of faults. There is the measurement being the result of last experiences attained on one side and the deterministically and stochastically unexpected factors on the other hand. Besides, one´s experiences from the past are not proven and cannot serve as aprediction for the future. For example, material detrition is slow and hardly to be calculated in the stage of projecting and planning. Countermeasures are needed not only when projecting and planning but also during the operation. At the beginning they are obviously difficult to be perceived by senses. Faults, as apart of this category, lead to shaft breaking and cause aggregate damages. This especially concerns cases when broken parts are coupled with other part of the shaft. This is the problem in continuous operation. Therefore, this is a way to optimally recognise fault symptoms and to localise them so that during operation avoided could be danger to both operators and the environment and consequential costs could be saved. It is not easy to solve the problems mentioned for there is still lack of universal methods of solving the fault diagnosis. Effective methods are still to be elaborated [1].

Keywords: diagnosis, observer, fault, rotor, intensity, simulation.

  1. INDRODUCTION

Kinetic behaviour of turborotor is followed up
at a rotor containing two hydrodynamically adjustable bearings laid at the end of shaft. The rotor consists of seven independent controlling units with equal average, length and homogeneous characteristics of the material. Systemic data for geometry and material of an individual rotor unit are described in the following parts of this paper.

  1. BEARING

The bearing chosen can be characterised as dynamic segmented bearings connected massively with journals of ashaft at its both ends. The total bearing weight is made up of journals of the shaft, saucepans, segments and the coach-box bearing. Shaft load, as well as an alternatively effective load upon system is carried to coach-box bearing.
The average of the journals is identical with the shaft average. Based on the theory of ashort bearing [1], we choose the close bearing, neglecting both
the fundamental oscillation and the oscillation
of bearing bearer. Equation (1) and (2) express that the assumed dynamic intensity is equal to that
of journals (regardless bearings shifting) [2]

where U is axis of shifting, D is the matrix
of damping, K is matrix of the bearing resistant to t fault and F is power of unbalance.

2.1.Systemic parameters

Systemic parameters comprise the geometry
of data and material and the operating parameters
of a resonant (oscillating system) system. Shaft systemic parameters are as specified below:

  2. Material of controlling centre:

  1. TIME BEHAVIOUR OF THE NO-FAULT ROTOR

As it is evident from Fig. 1, the system approaches in its centre the harmonic motional reactions. Maximum coordinate divergence of about 3.8 mm, being aresult of inert system since there is not only the effecting unbalanced intensity but also the weight intensity in vertical direction. The maximum amplitude  3.5 mm is less when compared with . Missing weight intensity represents physical reasons. In Fig. 1 there are also the and – being the reactions of moments
at [Nm]. Maximum values are 0.5 Nm.

Figure 2 presents behaviours of the left
and the right bearing. Reactions of both
of the bearings resemble the reactions at axis
of and , respectively. The same anomalies may be considered the dynamic dislocation
of a bearing. Maximum values constitute half
of values of the centre (2 mm). The changing coordinates moments and have opposite marks but identical values. The reason can be found in the symmetric arrangement. The motion bearing reactions differ from the motion reactions
at the middle.

  1. CONCLUSION

The fault in a complex system is considered systemic fault. This fault is arisk factor because of people security. Not only for safety and economics, but also from ecological reasons is the diagnosing and quick abolishment an absolute must. In complex technical facilities special attention should be paid to asystemic fault due to possible massive damages. Thanks to the computer capacity and thereby increased exploitation of computer monitoring it is possible to diagnose the fault simultaneously and visually already at present.
