Abstract

Paintings inevitably bear severe mechanical loads during transportation.Understanding the dynamic characteristics of paintings helps to avoid damage during transportation and to effectively slow down their aging.In this contribution, the vibration characteristics of canvas and primed canvas of paintings and their influencing factors are studied experimentally.For this reason, two dummy paintings with canvas in a common orientation and a tilted orientation are investigated, and an experimental setup using an excitation mechanism and a laser Doppler vibrometer is developed.In order to avoid changes of the modal parameters related to humidity or temperature, all experiments were conducted in a climate box.The modal parameters of dummy paintings are identified by means of experimental modal analysis.Also, the difference in modal properties of the two dummy paintings before and after applying the primer are compared.The identified modal parameters are used to reconstruct their eigenmodes.From the identified modal parameters a numerical model is derived, which is then compared to measurements.The comparison shows a good agreement, hence is a hint for the correctness of assuming a modal structure and the quality of the modal parameter identification.Lastly, with the help of the climate box, the influences of humidity and temperature on the eigenfrequencies of dummy paintings are studied.

Abstract

In this paper, the authors present a novel construction of an automatic balancing device applicable to balancing shafts working in a heavily polluted environment. The novelty of the presented system lies in the fact that its utilization requires no changes to be made in the already existing shafts. Also, the system is capable of working during the operation of the balanced shaft, so there is no need to stop it. The propulsion system is based on eddy current braking, therefore no wires need to be used in the device. During the development process of the system, three iterations of the device were created. Each iteration is presented, described, and discussed. The advantages and drawbacks of each version are pointed out and explained thoroughly. The correctness of the design was verified by the created devices that were assembled and fixed on shafts to prove the design assumptions.

Abstract

In the present study, the problem of optimization of the motion mode of the tower crane's slewing mechanism in the steady-state mode of trolley movement is stated and solved. An optimization criterion, which includes the RMS values of the drive torque and the rate of its change over time, is minimized. The optimization is carried out taking into account the drive torque constraints, and under the specified boundary conditions of motion. Three optimization problems at different values of the weight coefficients are solved. In the first problem, priority is given to the drive torque, in the third – to the rate of the drive torque change, and in the second problem, the significance of both components is assumed equal. The optimization problems are nonlinear, thus a VСT-PSO method is applied to solve them. The obtained optimal start-up modes of the crane slewing mechanism eliminate pendulum load oscillations and high-frequency elastic oscillations of the tower. Most of the kinematic, dynamical, and power parameters at different values of the weight coefficients are quite close to each other. It indicates that the optimal modes of motion are significantly influenced by the boundary conditions, optimization parameters, and constraints

Abstract

The presented problem consists in optimizing the pulling force of the luffing jib tower cranes, in order to reduce power and save energy by determining reasonable geometrical parameters such as placement of pulley assemblies, position of jib pin, and jib length. To determine the optimal parameters, a mechanical model was developed to calculate the pulling force of the research object. Then, the Taguchi method and Minitab software were applied to evaluate the influence of the parameters. The objective function was the minimum pulling force of the luffing jib. The calculation results show that the position of the pulley assembly used to pull the jib is the most influential factor on the objective function accounting for 81.15%, the less significant factors are the jib length, the pin position of the jib, and the pulley assembly that changes the direction of the load lifting cable. The result of the test presented in the article allowed for determining the rational parameters, and the optimal position of the pulley assemblies on the top of the crane. In the case of the pulley assembly located at the top of the crane, one obtains the optimal height of the crane head H≈0.4 L c.

Abstract

In this article, the frequency characteristics of the forces and torques in the various cycloidal gearbox designs were investigated. The aim of the article is the search for frequency patterns that could be used in the formulation of a fault diagnosis methodology. Numerical analysis was performed in the cycloidal gearbox without defects as well as in cycloidal gearboxes with lobe defects or with removed lobes. The results of the numerical analysis were obtained in the multibody dynamics model of the cycloidal gearbox, implemented in Fortran and using the 2nd-order Runge-Kutta method for the integration of the motion equations. The used model is planar and uses Hunt and Crossley’s nonlinear contact modelling algorithm, which was modified using the Heaviside function and backlash to fit cycloidal gearbox model convergence demands. In the analysis of fault diagnosis methods, the coherence function and Morris minimum-bandwidth wavelets were used. It is difficult to find a unique pattern in the results to use in the fault diagnosis because of the random characteristics of the torques at the input and output shafts. Based on obtained results, a promising, low-vibration cycloidal gearbox design with removed 7 lobes of the single wheel was studied using the FFT algorithm.

Abstract

This work presents an analysis of vibration signals for bearing defects using a proposed approach that includes several methods of signal processing. The goal of the approach is to efficiently divide the signal into two distinct components: a meticulously organized segment that contains relatively straightforward information, and an inherently disorganized segment that contains a wealth of intricately complex data. The separation of the two component is achieved by utilizing the weighted entropy index (WEI) and the SVMD algorithm. Information about the defects was extracted from the envelope spectrum of the ordered and disordered parts of the vibration signal. Upon applying the proposed approach to the bearing fault signals available in the Paderborn university database, a high amplitude peak can be observed in the outer ring fault frequency (45.9 Hz). Likewise, for the signals available in XJTU-SY, a peak is observed at the fault frequency (108.6 Hz).

Submission of Revised Articles

When revision of a manuscript is requested, authors are expected to deliver the revised version of the manuscript as soon as possible. The manuscript should be uploaded directly to the Editorial System as an answer to the Editor's decision, and not as a new manuscript. If it is the 1st revision, the authors are expected to return revised manuscript within 60 days; if it is the 2nd revision, the authors are expected to return revised manuscript within 14 days. Additional time for resubmission must be requested in advance. If the above mentioned deadlines are not met, the manuscript may be treated as a new submission.

Outline of the Production Process

Once an article has been accepted for publication, the manuscript is transferred into our production system to be language-edited and formatted. Language/technical editors reserve the privilege of editing manuscripts to conform with the stylistic conventions of the journal. Once the article has been typeset, PDF proofs are generated so that authors can approve all editing and layout.

Proofreading

Proofreading should be carried out once a final draft has been produced. Since the proofreading stage is the last opportunity to correct the article to be published, the authors are requested to make every effort to check for errors in their proofs before the paper is posted online. Authors may be asked to address remarks and queries from the language and/or technical editors. Queries are written only to request necessary information or clarification of an unclear passage. Please note that language/technical editors do not query at every instance where a change has been made. It is the author's responsibility to read the entire text, tables, and figure legends, not just items queried. Major alterations made will always be submitted to the authors for approval. The corresponding author receives e-mail notification when a PDF is available and should return the comments within 3 days of receipt. Comments must be uploaded to Editorial System.
