Abstract:
The aerostatic spindle in the ultra-precision machine tool shows the complex multi-field coupling dynamics behavior under working condition. The numerical investigation helps to better understand the dynamic characteristics of the aerostatic spindle and improve its structure and performance with low cost. A multi-field coupling 5-DOF dynamics model for the aerostatic spindle is proposed in this paper, which considers the interaction between the air film, spindle shaft and the motor. The restoring force method is employed to deal with the times varying air film force, the transient Reynolds equation of the aerostatic journal bearing and the aerostatic thrust bearing is solved using ADI method and Thomas method. The transient air film pressure of aerostatic bearings is obtained which clearly presents the influence induced by the tilt motion of the spindle shaft. The motion trajectory of the spindle shaft is obtained which shows different stability of the shaft under different external forces. The dynamics model shows good performance on simulating the multi-field coupling behavior of the aerostatic spindle under external force. which is quite meaningful and useful for the further research on the dynamic characteristics of the aerostatic spindle.

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
