Calculation and verification for crankshaft torsional vibration of hypercompressor in LDPE unit
Multi-body dynamics and lumped parameter methods were adopted respectively to do modal and response computation for an in-service secondary compressor shafting in low density polyethylene unit.Its torsional vibration was tested and evaluated by the wireless strain testing system to obtain the dynamic torque and first-order natural frequency of the shafting.The comparison results between the calculation and the test show that the computation errors in time domain for both the multi-body dynamics method and the lumped parameter method to test results are less than 17%,and that for the first-order natural frequency is less than 3%.Both methods are suitable for analyzing the torsional vibration of the shafting with similar structure without obvious dynamic characteristics,and the computation accuracy of both methods can meet engineering requirements.
