Vibrations of a rotating shaft Torsional vibration Longitudinal vibration Transverse vibration (whirling) discussedseparately
Vibrations Periodic excitation force f = F sin t acts on the mass F Period T Frequency f = 1 / T [1 / second] Natural frequency f = 2 k / m Angular velocity = 2 f [radian / second] Forcetransmitted to foundation Ftr has same frequency and same sinusoidal form as the excitation force Ftr
Dynamic magnification at the resonance Ratio of excitation force and transmitted force F / Ftr Ftr/ F F Internal damping of the spring rounds-off the resonance peak and 'softens' the phase shift 1.0 Ftr Frequency Opposite phase Same phase
Vibrations Pure sinusoidal force excites vibration of the same frequency. Magnification is smaller or larger than 1.0 depending on how close the resonance lies. Excitation Frequency Amplitude LOWBelow natural frequency RESONANCEEqual to natural frequency HIGHAbove natural frequency
Vibrations Non-sinusoidal force excites vibration of many various frequencies. Amplitude can be smaller or larger depending on the pulse form and the location of resonances. Excitation Pulse frequency Amplitude VERY LOW MEDIUM HIGH VERYHIGH
Vibrations Non-sinusoidal excitation (‘pulses’) consists of endless number of sinusoidal curves, so called harmonic components. Fourier analysis is the mathematical method to calculate components. 1/T 1/2T 1/3T 1/4T 1/5T 1/6T Period = T Frequency = 1/T 1/7T 1/8T 1/9T1/10T1/11T etc.
Torsional vibration When any harmonic component is equal to the natural vibration form, resonance occurs. The responses in resonance are typically sinusoidal. Even when basic excitation has strange pulse form. Outside resonance the vibration is not sinusoidal. If strain gauges are attached on shaft to record torque variation Typical signal in resonance is sinusoidal: Outside resonance signal is irregular, but still periodical:
Shaft vibrations - general Every system has natural vibration modes and frequencies. Periodic excitation comes from diesel engine or propeller. If excitation frequency = natural frequency, resonance exists. Responses are magnified. Free end amplitude may be 3.0 mrad (0.17 degrees), shear stress amplitude 25 MPa (25 N/mm2) Operation in resonance is avoided. Often only major resonances can be avoided and minor ones must be accepted. Sometimes stress is critically high even outside resonance. Damage is seldom shaft fracture. More often problem is wear in attached components.

Torsional stiffness and inertia figures Torsional stiffness of a cylindrical piece (shaft part) follows equation: k = πD4G/32b, where D = diameter, b = length, G = material shear modulus. Equations are available for conical pieces and sectional changes. Often equations result in too high stiffness. Inertia of a cylindrical piece I = πD4bρ/32, where D = diameter, b = lenght (thickness), ρ = material density. Stiffness grows in 4th power of diameter, and linear to length inverter Inertia grows in 4th power of diameter, and linear to length Complicated geometrical forms inertia and stiffness figures are supplied by the component manufacturer.

Real vibration form Real systems have always considerable vibration damping. It lowers the resonance peaks but also affects the vibration phase. System free ends do not reach their extreme position simultaneously but there is phase difference.

Effect on engine load, misfiring When injection to a cylinder fails, pme drops by 90 %. Excitation drops by 50 … 80 %. If vector sum has been small (cylinders cancel each other), resultant grows 10 … 50 times higher. Stress level grows in same proportion. 0.5 1 1.50.52 46 ptan ptan Pme Fig 13 Tangential gas excitation depending on load (selected orders) Pme Fig 14 Misfiring decreases the excitation
Vector sums, MS Dredge Queen When crankshaft vibrates as a solid piece, cylinders cancel each other. Resultant vector is ~ 0 (except for main orders). This is good, as orders 0.5 - 1.5 have high gas excitation. When balance between cylinders is disturbed (misfiring), resulting vector sum raises to 0.9 causing high responses. Deformations in crankshaft (twist) grow together with frequency. Vector sum of main orders decrease while other orders increase. Typical for orders 4.5 - 7.5. Crankshaft stress is the critical issue. Damper is installed at crankshaft free end for protection, to reduce shear stress.
Damper Inertia ring = ‘seismic mass’ Steel springs Damper is tuned to a close frequency. Steel spring deformations consume vibration energy. Damper is not needed for 6-cylinder engine if large crankshaft diameter keeps the shear stress level low. Vee-engines are equivalent to in-line engines. Higher cylinder numbers are generally more difficult. Oil inlet Cranshaft free end flange Inner stern Outside diameter up to 1200 mm, for low speed engines 2000 mm
