(Received 9 July 1986) Measurements of band vibration undertaken here show that passage of the butt weld connecting the ends of continuous band over wheels excites vibration in the band/wheel system. A displacement impulse occurs each time the weld initially contacts and separates from the wheels. The excitation is periodic, and it can excite instability. The vibration and stability of the coupled band/wheel system under impulsive boundary displacements are analyzed in this paper. The theoretical and experimental findings show that resonance occurs in the system when the weld passage (impulse) period is an integer multiple of any system natural period. 1. INTRODUCTION AND MOTIVATION

The vibration of high speed, axially moving continuous bands is usually detrimental to their function. Examples of axially moving bands, driven by rotation wheels, include band saws, belts, chains, and magnetic tapes. Excitation of transverse vibration caused by the interactions of the band and the wheels is common and significant. Wheel eccentricities and band imperfections are major sources of these excitations. The contributions of wheel eccentricities have been discussed in the literature [ 1,2]. However, the excitation caused by thickness and stiffness imperfections in the continuous band running over rotating wheels has not received attention. An example of this excitation is the passage of the butt weld, connecting the ends of the metal belt or band saw blade, over the wheels. An impulsive input to the transverse vibration of the spans is observed as the weld enters and exits the free spans between the wheels and as it passes over bearing surfaces. Experiments, conducted on a table-top test stand, were carried out to examine the transverse vibration of the band under the excitations of weld passage. A schematic of the experimental set-up is shown in Figure 1. For purposes of discussion, one span is called the principal span, and the other is called the secondary span. The test stand consists of two, 200 mm diameter wheels and an axle to axle wheel separation of 860 mm. The band cross-section is rectangular, 0.5 mm x 19 mm, and the weld bump is 0.02 mm in height and l-5 mm in width. The times when the weld enters and exits the secondary span are detected with a photo-sensor. A displacement probe is positioned at the midsecondary span to monitor its transverse vibration. A spectral analyzer (HP5423A) is used for data acquisition and processing. The mid-span transverse vibration of the secondary span is shown in Figure 2. The upper trace shows the transverse vibration and the impulsive signals in the lower trace indicate times when the weld enters and exits the secondary span. The data shows the i Presently with Power Systems Michigan 48090-9055, U.S.A.

Here we choose y(.$)=_q(t)=sin (j~r[), which are the eigenfunctions of a simple-simple beam, and Uj([) = Uj(e) = cos (~TT[), which are the eigenfunctions of a free-free rod.

discretized weak form is obtained from the inner product of the expansion functions with the domain and boundary residuals derived from equations (17)-(30): The

The vector P(T) is obtained from the inner product of the expansion functions with the right-hand side of (17)-(30). The elements of M, G, K, and Y(T) are defined in Appendix 1.

ANALYSIS

In the state vector form, equation (35) becomes i(~)=Ar(r)+p,,(~),

(36)

r(r) = r!Jr)+r,(r),

(37)

where

The solution of equation (36) is

where rh( 7) = eA’r(0) is the free response under initial condition r(O), and T rr( 7) = eA7 eFAeP,( 6) de I0

(38)

(39)

is the forced response from PO(~). Assume the solution of i(r) = Ar(r) is periodic (stable), and the excitation PO(~) is periodic. Let the natural periods for each mode be T, , T2, . . . , Tk, and the impulse period be p,,,. The modes 1 through k include all vibration modes contributing to the band response under all excitations in the process. It is assumed that there exist integers m, . * = nkTk; then, after period T, rh( T) nk suchthat T=mpw=n,T,=n2T2=~ nl , n,,..., returns to the initial state r(0): i.e., rh( T) = r(O), or eAr = I. Thus, from equation (37), one obtains r(T) = r(0) + rf( T).

(40)

Therefore, when r,(T) has value other than zero, r(T) does not return to the initial state after period T. For r = kT, one can write r(kT) as the system solution after time T with the initial condition r(( k - 1) T): i.e., T r(kT)=eATr((k-l)T)+eAT e-A”Po(B)dB=r((k-l)T)+r~(T) I0 = r((k -2)T)

+2r,(T)

= r(O)+ kr,( T).

(41)

Therefore, the boundedness of r( kT) as T+ cc depends upon rf( T). From equation (41), if r,(T) has a value other than zero, r( kT) is unbounded as k + CO.

DISCUSSIONS

Numerical results have been obtained by direct integration of equations (36) and (48) for the coupled and uncoupled band/wheel system models, respectively. The initial states r(0)and r,(O)are zero. The weld is located at 5 = 0, on the secondary span at r = 0 (point 1 in Figure 3). The transverse responses of the single span model at .$=0*25 under resonance and non-resonance weld passage periods are shown in Figures 4 and 5, respectively.

pw = 16T In Figure 5, the span response is periodic with period T- 21 T, = Sp,(p, lb*2T,). p,,, is not equal to an integer multiple of any natural period. These numerical results are consistent with predictions of the stability theory in the previous sections. The undamped, coupled system model response is shown in Figures 6 and 7. The impulsive excitation in the coupled system occurs at the four boundary points in the two spans, and it drives the responses in both spans. The analysis incorporates the coupling of span and wheel responses and the impulsive displacement boundary excitation caused by weld passage. When the modulation wavelength is relatively short and the coupling of the spans is strong (see reference [3]), the impulsive input on either span excites significant transverse vibration in both spans. This is illustrated in Figure 6 with f, = 15.26, jz = 16.51, /ifi*= 1.25. When the modulated wavelength is long (f, = 19.66, fi = 19.77, A& = O-1l), the coupling of the excited span to the other span is not strong, as shown in Figure 7.

In one band with easily excited natural periods ?, = O-0510 s (fr = 19425 Hz) and & = 04468 s ( jz = 21.375 Hz), resonance was observed by monitoring the transverse displacement of theAmid-point of the secondary span at the weld passage period jl,,, = O-255 s: that is, tiW= 5T,. The response shown in Figure 8(a) is dominated by this mode. (The unbounded response predicted at resonance in the analysis is a defect of the undamped linear system theory.) Following a small increase in wheel rotation speed so that cW= O-230 s, no single mode dominates the response; see

Figure 9(a). Furthermore, p(t) = ji w A2(0) de in Figures 8(b) and 9(b) shows that the rms response m/2 in Figure 9 is half that in Figure 8. The response in Figure 9 is not at resonance. Figure 10 shows the periodic response of the mid-secondary span recorded at 1000 sample/s. p*,,,is not an integer multiple of either natural period. In this case, $,,, = 0.41 s, f1 = f2 = 0.03 s, and the period T = 1.23 s = 3$,,, = 41 f, = 41 Tz: that is, f is the least common integer multiple of p*,, ?, and ?;. These observations show good agreement with the predictions of the analysis in the previous sections.

8. CONCLUSIONS

The analysis and experiments show that the impulsive excitation of the weld passage over the wheels can excite resonance even when the band translates at speeds much lower than the critical speed discussed in references [5,6-91. In many practical cases, it is important to consider this excitation. Adjusting the band speed, shifting the system natural frequencies and adding damping can be used to modulate the response at resonance.
