Rotor Dynamic Response of a High-Speed Machine Tool Spindle

In high-speed machining, the maximum stable depth of cut at any spindle rotating frequency depends on the spindle-holder-tool dynamic stiffness as reflected at the tool’s free end. Because this dynamic stiffness can vary with rotating frequency, we have modeled the spindle dynamic response using a finite element-based rotordynamics approach. The spindle shaft is modeled using beam finite elemen...

Dose distributions of high-precision radiotherapy treatment: A comparison between the CyberKnife and TrueBeam systems

Background: Several high-precision stereotactic radiation therapy modalities are currently used in clinical settings. We aimed to evaluate whether the CyberKnife (CK) or TrueBeam (TB) radiation treatment systems were more appropriate for treating targets of various morphologies according to the physical properties of each device.  Materials and Methods: Spheres (diameter = 5–50 mm), as well as ...

Multiaxial Fatigue Analysis in a High-speed Microgenerator Rotor Shaft

Fatigue evaluation is one of the most concerning issue in the design of mechanical parts subject to alternative forces. Fatigue life estimation is more complicated when loads act on different axes. This paper shows the stress analysis result of the steel shaft of a high-speed microgenerator rotor with 47750 rpm and 100kW which has been carried out with analytical stress formulation. The shaft i...

Finite element model updating of a geared rotor system using particle swarm optimization for condition monitoring

In this paper, condition monitoring of a geared rotor system using finite element (FE) model updating and particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is onsidered. For this purpose, employing experimental data from the geared rotor system, an updated FE model is obtained. The geared rotor system under study consists of two shafts, four bearings, and two gears. To get the experimental data,  iezoel...
