PROACTIVE STRATEGY MAINTENANCE

Given challenging competition of today service providers are required to be more proactive in satisfying the environmental conditions and customer needs. Proactive maintenance should start at the design stage with establishing the functions, functional failures and failure modes. The understanding the failure behavior, especially the relationship between potential failures, functional failures and diagnostic parameters is the most important task. In the next step the designer have to explore the maintenance activities as they have to apply to the design criteria. The models and frameworks have been presented in the paper also a comprehensive review of literature and some results of laboratory investigations

abstractEN: This work presents a dynamic model of the piston-crankshaft assembly of the Stirling engine with three degrees of freedom combined with the isothermal thermodynamic submodel. The model allowed for consideration of the working gas pressure from the thermodynamic submodel, whose working space was divided into partial volume units and subjected to analysis. Performing the analysis of the physical model and adopting the data from the real object, with the assumption of the static mass reduction, enabled developing of a simulation model of the piston-crankshaft assembly. Subsequently, the model was extended by the part describing pressure changes in the cylinder, theoretical work, theoretical power of the working gas with the assumption of the isothermal heat exchange in the compression and expansion spaces. On the basis of the motion equations shown in the work, the influence of the model’s chosen parameters on the operation of the integrated simulation model was presented and analyzed. The results of the conducted simulations were also additionally derived from an analysis of the displacement, velocity, and piston acceleration curves, as well as the curves of displacement, velocity, and crankshaft angular acceleration. The presented results convey the information about the dynamic operation of the simulated real object working at the preset thermodynamic parameters of the working gas.score: 25collation: 1740009-1 - 1740009-2
