Research on Dynamic Characteristics of the RBBH System Based on Dynamics Model and Vibration Data Fusion

Abstract

The roll-bearing-bearing housing (RBBH) system is one of the most common kernel structures used to determine strip mill stability and product surface quality in modern metallurgical machinery. To better understand dynamic characteristics of the RBBH system, this paper provides a nonlinear dynamic model and designs an engineering test platform on the RBBH system in the whole rolling process. First, a nonlinear dynamic model of the RBBH system supported by four-row rolling bearings under high speed and heavy load is established. Then, the method of combining Riccati transfer matrix and Newmark-β numerical integration is employed to solve nonlinear dynamic equations. After that, the engineering test platform is designed and assembled to capture and analyze the vibration signals of weathering steel (SPA-H) with finished thicknesses of 1.6 and 3.2 mm. Finally, the dynamic characteristics of the RBBH system are studied with the method of the dynamic model and vibration data fusion. The results show that the SPA-H with a finished thickness of 1.6 mm is rolled, the RBBH system fluctuates violently in both horizontal and vertical directions, and numerical results are highly consistent with experimental results in acceleration response, velocity response, and displacement response. In addition, the dynamic performance parameters of the four-row rolling bearing will also fluctuate greatly. Finally, there is significant interest to gain the benefits for the RBBH system design and mill stable rolling purposes.
