PREDICTION OF HYDRODYNAMIC STABILITY LOSS IN WATER-LUBRICATED PLAIN BEARINGS BASED ON THE LYAPUNOV EXPONENT
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Construction and Maintenance - Year 2018, Vol 110, Issue 3
Abstract
The article proposes a new algorithm for data analysis for diagnostics and the prediction of the loss of hydrodynamic stability in plain bearings associated with the appearance of oil vortexes in the lubricant. Their formation is related to the increase of the vibration energy of the spigot, which affects the change of the monitored movement of the shaft in the bearings. These vibrations are controlled by a measuring instrumentation installed on the bearings. The proposed solution was related to the research on the usefulness of nonlinear analysis of diagnostic signals represented by a time series. These signals are the results of measurements of the displacement of the shaft of the rotor machine in relation to the bearing of the plain bearing. The operation of the proposed method is aimed at recognizing the loss of hydrodynamic bearing stability. In particular, we analysed the usefulness of changes in the value of the Lyapunov exponent of monitored signals to early detection of occurring disturbances in the work of a plain bearing. Observations of the increase of its value, before a significant increase in the value of monitored vibrations, confirmed its usefulness as a valuable diagnostic symptom for forecasting the loss of hydrodynamic stability of hydrodynamic plain bearings.
