    El objetivo del presente trabajo es detectar la no linealidad asociada al comportamiento de un transmisor de presión capacitivo tipo Rosemount, cuando éste sufre pérdidas de aceite. La metodología propuesta consiste en suponer un comportamiento dinámico bilineal. Se simula la respuesta tanto del transmisor como de su línea sensora a una excitación de tipo ruido blanco y se trata la señal de medida aplicando modelos autorregresivos univariantes. Se plantea la simulación introduciendo el empleo de dos familias de coeficientes autorregresivos para reproducir la bilinealidad, no considerando la ecuación estocástica asociada a la excitación por ruido blanco. A partir de los resultados se ha definido un índice de vigilancia paramétrica para complementar la medida del tiempo de respuesta del sensor, ya que dicho tiempo no es la magnitud adecuada para detectar la bilinealidad

    The determination of the number of cycles to failure for different stress amplitudes in concrete specimens, that is, the determination of the S--N curve, is a process that could take an extremely long period of time if statistical significance is sought. This paper proposes a simplified approximated method that could be used to speed up the process and still obtain meaningful results. The method is based on assumptions with regard to the shape of the S--N curve, and on assumptions related to damage accumulation and the influence of mean stress. As a second objective of this work, damage accumulation has been monitored in the specimens subjected to cyclic loads. A distinctive correlation has been observed between damage and the first resonance frequency of the concrete specimens

    Unbalanced machinery vibration isolation with a semi-active pneumatic suspension

    The problem of unbalanced machinery isolation is tackled in this paper. The proposed solution incorporates an air suspension that can be adapted depending on the turning frequency. The system is built with three main parts: an air spring, a reservoir and a connecting pipe. A model of the suspension excited by the unbalanced rotor is also shown in this paper. The properties of the system make it possible to use a configuration of the suspension (one pipe size) over a bandwidth range and another configuration (another pipe size) over the remaining bandwidth range. This idea is implemented with solenoid controlled valves and the results show significant improvements with respect to completely passive configurations

    Automatic measurement of field-dependent elastic modulus and damping by laser Doppler vibrometry

    A method for characterizing the magnetoelastic dependence of both Youngs modulus and damping on the magnetic field is presented. It is based on laser Doppler vibrometry and free longitudinal vibration in soft ferromagnetic rods and wires, and offers a broad range of improved features including accuracy, lack of interaction with the sample, speed of measurement, full automation, high resolution and the possibility of stress-dependence studies. All these allow samples to be perfectly characterized in the full magnetic field range, estimating the behaviour of the specimen as different magnetization curves are followed and discovering critical points that had been overlooked in previous works. As an example, the magnetoelastic characterization of nickel rods is described, and excellent results are obtained which are consistent with the hysteresis loop of nickel and the theory of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

    An adaptive pneumatic suspension based on the estimation of the excitation frequency

    Get PDF
    A pneumatic suspension that can adapt itself to the incoming vibration is presented in this paper. A switching control strategy between two different configurations is proposed and studied. The objective is to avoid undesirable resonant frequencies. The control procedure is based on the pre-knowledge of the incoming vibration frequency, and when this frequency is unknown, a very efficient prediction technique is used. The results show that the adaptable suspension has improved performance as compared to any of its passive counterparts. The transient response when switching typically takes less than three cycles and does not hinder the suspension performance

    En esta tesis se realiza un estudio de la magnetostricción de materiales magnéticos por interferometría de speckle. En la primera parte, se recogen los fundamentos teóricos del fenómeno del speckle y de las técnicas experimentales que se aplican en el desarrollo de este trabajo. En la segunda parte, se analizan las bases teóricas de la magnetostricción, aplicando la fotografía de speckle en la determinación de la magnetostricción en saturación. Se estudia la aplicabilidad del método caracterizando muestras de níquel. En tercer lugar, la dependencia de las propiedades elásticas con la magnetización es analizada utilizando un sistema interferométrico heterodino. Se determinan el módulo Young, el módulo de cizalladura y el módulo de comprensibilidad. Las muestras empleadas son barras esbeltas y alambres de níquel en el seno del campo magnético de un solenoide. Para las medidas del módulo de Young se siguen tres métodos experimentales basados en la obtención de las frecuencias propias longitudinales, transversales y de la frecuencia de resonancia longitudinal cuando las barras son sometidas a vibración forzada. Se han comparado los resultados obtenidos con los tres métodos verificando la validez de los modelos empleados. Se aplica un método que permite en el mismo experimento la evaluación en función del campo magnético del módulo de cizalladura y el de Young. La metodología seguida se fundamenta en la detección conjunta del espectro asociado a la vibración transversal y de torsión. A partir del módulo elástico y del módulo de cizalladura, medidos simultáneamente, se ha estudiado la constancia del módulo de compresibilidad en función de la magnetización. En la cuarta parte, se estudia la influencia del tratamiento térmico en las propiedades del níquel determinando la variación del módulo elástico a partir del análisis de la vibración longitudinal libre de la muestra. Se han aplicado tratamientos a diferentes temperaturas, tiempos de permanencia en horno y velocidades en enfrentamiento. También se ha analizado el tamaño de grano antes y después del tratamiento para evaluar su influencia en las propiedades elásticas. Finalmente, se estudia la fricción interna analizando el amortiguamiento en vibraciones longitudinales. Se ha empleado una doble metodología basada en vibraciones libres y forzadas. También se determina la dependencia del amortiguamiento con el campo magnético aplicado

    Measurements of field-dependence elastic modulus and magnetomechanical coupling factor by optical heterodyne interferometry

    Get PDF
    Optical heterodyne interferometry is applied to determine the change in elastic modulus DeltaEDelta E with the applied magnetic field and the magnetoelastic coupling coefficient kk. The samples used are thin nickel rods up to 2 mm in diameter positioned within the magnetic field of a solenoid. The Young modulus is determined from the first natural vibration frequency. A dual methodology is evaluated, respectively involving free and forced sample vibrations. Estimations are also made of eddy current-induced magnetic losses of the material. This technique permits point-like detection, involving an illuminated zone approximately 20mu20mum in diameter, without contact with the simple

    Measurement of damping in magnetic materials by optical heterodyne interferometry

    Get PDF
    A study of damping and its field-dependence in magnetic materials is presented. An optical heterodyne interferometer is used as detector of the longitudinal vibration of a slender rod located within a solenoid. Two different experiments are carried out in order to investigate damping in the demagnetized and saturated states. In one, the attenuation constant is determined by examining the free vibration of the sample. In the other, damping is indirectly measured from the sharpness of its resonance curve. Logarithmic decrement and its variation with the magnetic field is calculated. The detection and excitation systems used do not interact with the sample. Nickel rods and wires ranging in diameter from 2 mm to 10 mm are used as samples. Youngs modulus is also determined
