Zusammenfassung: | An apparatus and a process for determining the mass required for a wire damper ring to produce the maximum amount of damping in a certain rotary machine. The testing apparatus includes a test piece with an inward facing annular groove and a plurality of expander segments each with the top or outer half of a wire damper ring segment secured to and extending outward to fit within the annular groove. A mandrel with an outer surface having a slight slope is passed through a central opening of the expander segments and displaces the ring segments radially outward and into the annular groove at varying loads. The apparatus is set to vibrating and a piece of the test piece is observed for vibrations. The load applied to the damper ring segments is varied until the vibration is at a minimum. The applied load can now be correlated with the mass required for the damper ring to produce similar damping capability. |
