1. Cases of coupled vibrations and prametric instability in rotating machines
Sammanfattning : The principal task in this research project was to analyse the causes and consequences of coupled vibrations and parametric instability in hydropower rotors; where both horizontal and vertical machines are involved. Vibration is a well-known undesirable behavior of dynamical systems characterised by persistent periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic motions. LÄS MER
2. Rotordynamic Modeling and Characterization of Support Elements in Vertical Machines
Sammanfattning : The dynamic properties of rotating machines are highly influenced by interconnecting devices, such as bearings, seals, or squeeze-film dampers. They play a significant role in regulating the characteristics of the interaction between the rotating and stationary parts of the machines. LÄS MER
3. Nonlinear Isoviscous Behaviour of Compliant Journal Bearings
Sammanfattning : Plans to shut down nuclear power plants in some European countries as well as increased electricity production by wind and solar power will increase the work load on hydroelectric power plants in the future. Also, due to the power grid regulations, hydroelectric power plants undergo more frequent start-ups and shut-downs. LÄS MER
4. Evaluation of strong nonlinearities in hydropower systems
Sammanfattning : In hydropower systems, it is essential to avoid catastrophic failures that leads to human and economic losses. Unfortunately, the rotor can behave abnormally since several nonlinear effects occur during start-up, shut downs or when running at nominal speed. LÄS MER
