Abstract

Most rotating machines, especially those mounted on flexible shafts and bearings when it starts operating, tend to pass through critical speeds, ie speeds that can cause the system to resonate the mechanical structure. Hence it is a constant concern for finding effective methods to mitigate the effect of vibration when passing through such speeds. Currently, it has been studied applications of materials made from special alloys as actuators in dynamic systems, in order to reduce the vibrations in a frequency range related to the resonance region. In this direction, it is the use of components made of active materials such as Shape Memory Alloys (SMA), considered "smart", able to recover its original shape when the change in temperature and/or mechanical stress, and as the main characteristics, its high damping capacity, due to the increased levels of vibration. This paper presents a rotor-bearing vibration control system based on actuators SMA coil springs. A fuzzy controller has been used for control the vibration of the system based on the measuring of critical speeds. The experimental results of the operation of the system shown their effectiveness being obtained reductions of up to 60% in amplitude, during the passage through the resonance region.
