Nonlinear dynamics of flexible diaphragm coupling's rotor system during maneuvering flight. (April 2023) - Yu, Yinxin
In this paper, the flexible multi-diaphragm coupling which is used as flexible power transmission shaft of the aeroengine accessory is taken as the research object, and the coupling stiffness matrix and axial nonlinear stiffness of the diaphragms are considered in the coupling rotor system. On this basis, in order to consider the influence of aircraft maneuvering load, in non-inertial system the bending-pendular-axial coupled differential equations of flexible diaphragm coupling were established by Lagrange method. The modal characteristics of the flexible diaphragm coupling were analyzed and compared with the finite element solutions, and the correctness of model is verified. Runge-Kutta method is used to solve and analyze the influence of different maneuvering flight conditions on the vibration characteristics of the flexible diaphragm coupling. The research indicates that the coupling between diaphragm's axial and radial stiffness leads to the right shift of resonant region, the increase of resonance peak value, and the nonlinear characteristics of amplitude-frequency curve such as jump and multi-value. In the non-inertial system, only the installation distance a of the flexible diaphragm coupling along the wingspan leads to the increase of the axial deformation offset of the flexible diaphragm coupling in the rolling flight state. The increase of climbing or diving angular velocity makes the flexible diaphragm coupling's vibration changes from single period to multi-period, bifurcation or chaos state; With the increase of diving angular velocity and rolling angular velocity, the axial critical speed gradually increases; Each flight condition not only affects the vibration characteristics, but also causes the axial, radial and angular deformation of the flexible diaphragm coupling to a certain extent. This study provided a theoretical basis and method for the design and analysis of diaphragm coupling.
