Concepção e análise dinâmica de sistema com controle de mancal adaptativo incorporando molas LMF.

Abstract

Among of many rotating machinery vibration sources, there are one that is due to resonance between natural machine frequency and rotating speed in a specific moment. Depending on rotating system dimensions and envolved forces, the effects due this resonance can make damages. The classical solution to mitigate this effect is avoid that machine operates in frequencies near from natural frequency or design it for your natural frequency been far from it operation frequency. However, for situations where there two solutions can´t be applied, an alternative is enable that the machine parameters changes to adjust the natural frequency of machine dynamically.This study proposes the use of variable stiffness bearing known as adaptative bearing. These bearings uses machine elements that apply SMA technology, which the possibility to change stiffness due temperature changes. So, was designed, characterized and tested a prototype at Laboratory of Vibration and Instrumentation of Mechanical Engineering Post Graduate UFCG Program. It was obtained satisfactory results relates to stiffness variation and response time due improvements on heating and cooling systems.
