Abstract

This article is concerned with the issues of the development and optimization of algorithms for the control and calculation of the torsional vibration parameters of turbomachine shaftings. For the control of shaft torsional vibrations, the discrete phase method (DPM) is used. Depending on the natural shafting vibration forms determined by calculation, the necessary number of informational surfaces (control cross-sections) with labels, which are alternating crest–valley pairs (“gears”), or holes in special perforated disks, are made along its length. The DPM features that must be considered when using it for the control of the torsional vibration parameters are observed. It is shown that the said method can only determine the mean integral angular speed values at angles of rotation of a rotor between labels in informational cross-sections, but it does not provide the direct instantaneous measurement of the shaft torsional vibration parameters. The approximation of the instantaneous torsional vibration parameters by their mean integral values leads, in case when the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is used, to significant errors, especially in the higher harmonics range. In this case, the accuracy of the angular vibration spectrum determination depends significantly on the conversion order, i.e., on the number of labels in an informational cross-section in fact. It is noted that additional errors of the FFT algorithms are caused by the use of data with nonconstant discretization frequency (data on a variable grid). The problems of the DPM determination of the harmonic amplitudes multiple to the rotation frequency (order harmonics) are discussed. It is shown that they can be determined only using angular masks of informational cross-sections. In addition, angular masks that are in compliance with the established rules help to significantly decrease the label pitch difference effect on the calculation results for the torsional vibration parameters. The algorithms for the conversion of the measurement results are presented. The relations for the determination of the angular amplitudes (swirl angles) of a shaft in control cross-sections are obtained with consideration of the chosen number of labels and the torsional vibration frequency. Examples of the results for the numerical modeling and analysis of shaft torsional vibrations using the proposed algorithms are given.
