Study of the oscillation of a pendulum in a magnetic field
Zapoměl, Jaroslav; Kozánek, Jan; Košina, Jan; Cibulka, Jan
2022 - English
Realization of some technological processes requires application of rotating machines with a vertical rotor mounted in rolling element bearings. One of the requirements put on their operation is minimization of energy losses in the support elements. The proposed design variant consists in supporting the vertical rotor by one rolling element bearing placed at its upper part and by one axial magnetic bearing mounted in its lower end. The magnetic bearing is composed of an electric coil coupled with the stationary part and of a permanent magnet attached to the rotating part. The magnetic force attracts the permanent magnet, which reduces radial displacement of the lower end of the rotor. The magnetic field between the magnets represents a force coupling between the rotor and the stationary part, which shows some stiffness and affects the system natural frequencies. The controlled change of the stiffness makes it possible to reduce the rotor lateral oscillations in the resonance area. The investigated pendulum is coupled with the frame by a revolute joint at its upper end. The permanent magnet is attached to its lower end. The electric coil is coupled with the stationary part and placed under the pendulum. The system is excited by a moment of harmonic time history, which sets the pendulum into a seesaw motion.\n\n Keywords: vertical rotor; pendulum; axial magnetic bearings; lateral oscillations; resonance Available at various institutes of the ASCR

Localized formulation of bipenalty method in contact-impact problems
Kolman, Radek; González, J. A.; Dvořák, Radim; Kopačka, Ján; Park, K.C.
2022 - English
Often, the finite element method together with direct time integration is used for modelling of contact-impact problems of bodies. For direct time integration, the implicit or explicit time stepping are gen-\nerally employed. It is well known that the time step size in explicit time integration is limited by the stability limit. Further, the trouble comes with the task of impact of bodies with different critical time step sizes for each body in contact. In this case, this numerical strategy based on explicit time stepping with the same time step size for both bodies is not effective and is not accurate due to the dispersion behaviour and spurious stress oscillations. For that reason, a numerical methodology, which allows independent time stepping for each body with its time step size, is needed to develop. In this paper, we introduce the localized variant of the bipenalty method in contact-impact problems with the governing equations derived based on the Hamilton’s principle. The localized bipenalty method is applied into the impact problems of bars as an one-dimensional problem. The definition of localized gaps is presented and applied into the full concept of the localized bipenalty method.

Aspects of Dosage from Short and Long Duration Emissions
Robins, A.; Hayden, P.; Gallacher, D.; Pace, S.; Chaloupecká, Hana
2022 - English
The objectives of this work were to use wind tunnel concentration measurements to describe the structure of dispersing clouds from an elevated source in a deep turbulent boundary layer and to develop scaling rules that reduce the results to a universal form. The experiments were carried out in the EnFlo meteorological wind tunnel at the University of Surrey. Ensembles of between 100 and 200\nrepeat emissions were used, emission durations between 0.067 and 1.02s and a reference flow speed of 2ms-1. The fetch studied extended to about six source heights downwind (about two boundary layer depths). The structure of the evolving clouds was analysed to determine time of flight, along-wind spread and dosage and to compare the dosage behaviour with the concentration field in a plume from the same source. This illustrated how the two were related and how cloud dosage statistics (mean and\nstandard deviation) could be derived from plume data. It also demonstrated that much larger ensembles were required to reduce the statistical uncertainty in the mean cloud properties. The next steps involve testing these conclusions in a wider range of flow and dispersion conditions, in the presence of obstacles or complex urban areas. Keywords: wind tunnel; dose; dosage; gas releases Available at various institutes of the ASCR

Numerical simulations of aeroelastic instabilities in turbine blade cascade by modified Van der Pol model at running excitation
Pešek, Luděk; Šnábl, Pavel; Prasad, Chandra Shekhar; Delanney, Y.
2022 - English
Apart from rotary test rig for evaluation of structural dynamics of the bladed wheels, the control flutter experiments has been performed on the linear cascade model in the subsonic wind tunnel in the Institute of Thermomechanics, of CAS, in Prague. These experiments are aimed at stability evaluation of the cascade at running waves or at stability limit testing by flow speed changes or by force impulses of blades. The onset of flutter and its spreading in the cascade are observed, too. The linear cascade model consists of five NACA010 blades. All the blades can be separately excited with electromagnetic torque excitation mechanism and all of them are instrumented to measure the aerodynamic moments which can be used to calculate the aerodynamic work. A more details about the linear blade cascade experimental set up can be found in [1-2]. To predict a dynamic behaviour in the blade cascade, we have been dealing with simplified theoretical modelling of the aeroelastic instability in turbine blade cascade [3-5]. Due to the application of the reduced cascade model consisting of simple elements – springs, rigid bodies, linear dampers – and aeroelastic forces introduced by analytical Van der Pol model, it facilitates to study the dangerous states of vibration of such complicated turbine parts [6-9]. This study is aimed at examination of aeroelastic instabilities of 10-blade cascade at running excitation that arises due to the wakes flowing from stator the blades to the rotating blades. They cause forced excitation in the narrow frequency range. Keywords: rotary test; structural dynamics; bladed wheels Available at various institutes of the ASCR

Estimation of damping in human vocal folds vibration: measurements in vivo and on model
Horáček, Jaromír; Radolf, Vojtěch; Bula, Vítězslav; Košina, Jan; Geneid, A.; Laukkanen, A. M.
2022 - English
This study investigates the biomechanics of the end-part of phonation, i.e. the so-called phonation offset, experimentally. This information of vocal folds damping is important for testing and further development of mathematical modelling of phonation. The measurements of the damping ratio, based on high-speed videolaryngoscopic registrations, were realized in vivo on a male subject and in vitro using an originally developed silicon replica of the human vocal folds. In both cases the results show remarkable decrease of vibration frequency of the vocal folds and increase of damping ratio D in the phonation offset limiting to the values D=0.12 in vivo measurement and D=0.11 in vitro measurement. The results for vocal folds’ damping are in good agreement with previous measurements performed in humans using different methods.
