Abstract

In this paper, a novel dynamic model of coupling translation joints with subsidence for time-varying load in a planar mechanical system is established. One translational joint has four working scenarios, which are free motion, one corner rub-impact, two adjacent corners rub-impact and two opposite corners rub-impact. However, the rub-impact of double coupling translation joints are not a simple superposition of these scenarios, but rather a more complex rub-impact configuration that should be considered in this model. An adaptive fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is utilized to solve the dynamic differential equations. After that, we discuss the dynamic behavior of the rub-impact coupling by taking a triplex member of the crosshead slider, piston rod and piston slider as an example in the reciprocating compressor system. The results show that the double coupling translation joints experience free motion, continuous contact motion and rub-impact motion. The difference is that, in the rub-impact motion, for the crosshead slider there only appears one single corner and two adjacent corners impacting the guide, while the coupling piston slider experiences multiple rub-impact situations including one single corner, two adjacent corners and two opposite corners impacting the guide. Moreover, the results reveal that the subsidence has a significant influence on the rub-impact behavior of the coupling translation joints, and the greater the subsidence, the more severe the vibration response of the slider impacting the guide. Finally, in this rub-impact coupling system, the existence of chaotic behavior is confirmed by the Poincaré section and the largest Lyapunov exponent approaches.
