Abstract. To deeply grasp the operating characteristics and influence factors of the rotor in high acceleration, based on ideal rotor model, the Finite Element Model of rotor including manufacturing errors is established, respectively, taking parallelism error and symmetry error for example, using sequential coupling method for heat-structure analysis of the rotor, then the influences of temperature on mechanical properties and dynamic characteristics of the rotor are obtained. The results show that: in range of 20 C-70 C, temperature, stress and strain of the rotor are positively correlated, when the temperature is coupled with parallelism error, stress and strain of the rotor change little, when the temperature is coupled with symmetrical error, all of the stress and strain of the rotor increase, and temperature changes have no significant effect on natural frequencies and mode shapes of the rotor. Introduction With the rapid development of the aerospace, military and other fields, mechanical devices frequently operate in high acceleration bearing conditions, parts of the device subjected acceleration value has reached 1. 10 g(g, Acceleration of gravity). Therefore, carrying capacity test in high acceleration is very important. Rotor is the core of the experimental system, the mechanical properties and dynamic characteristics directly affect the stability of the system and test capabilities. As we all know, it will produce a lot of heat in the high acceleration rotation of the rotor, so the temperature of the rotor rises, the uneven distribution of temperature can cause thermal stress in internal parts, in structural analysis, the effects of temperature field on structural stress and strain should be considered, in addition, the material properties and temperature are closely related, generally the material properties are different with the different temperature, it can also cause changes in stress distribution. So, in order to deeply understand the characteristics and influence factors of the rotor, it is very important to analysis the influences of temperature on the rotor characteristics. There are many studies on the structure of the thermal stress at home and abroad, in paper[1], the casting thermal stress have been studied using numerical simulation technology, lastly, thermal stress of plate and the waveguide is predicted. Paper[2] studied the temperature distribution on the dynamic characteristics of rod rotor, the influence of axial temperature on the mechanical properties is analyzed, and the influence of circumferential temperature on the vibration characteristics is studied. But the studies on influence of temperatures on the rotor characteristics in high accelerate is little, on the basis of the preceding studies [3-], using ANSYS and sequential coupling method, the influences of temperature on the mechanical properties of the rotor are analyzed, including the FEM of rotor including manufacturing error
is established, respectively, parallelism error and symmetry error coupled with temperature, the stress and strain of the rotor were analyzed, finally, the dynamic characteristics of the rotor are comparative analyzed, considering temperature and without considering temperature. Analysis on Mechanical Properties of The Standard Rotor Based on The Temperature Influence Analysis step of thermal stress In this paper, we will study the mechanical properties changes of the rotor in temperature change conditions, so the problem belongs to heat-structure coupling analysis, the resolve methods for thermal-stress analysis in ANSYS include, the sequential coupling and the direct coupling, here, sequential coupling method will be selected for the thermal stress analysis. Thermal stress analysis steps of rotor are: (1) Firstly, steady-state thermal analysis of the rotor is preformed, then thermal unit model is selected as SOLID70, loading the heat load, solving and view the results; (2) Secondly, the static structural analysis is started, the unit type can be converted into the structural unit SOLID18, the material properties including thermal coefficient of expansion are defined, then, the structural loads, the temperature obtained from the previous heat analysis, are all applied on the rotor, finally, the solve results are obtained. Establishment of standard FEM of the rotor To study the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of the rotor part, based on FEM of the rotor in ideal state, not including manufacturing errors, the room temperature 20 C is taken as a reference, and based on the actual measured temperature of the rotor in high acceleration, the temperature range field is set 20-70 C, in 10 C intervals, distribution and variation of the rotor stress and strain are analyzed. In this study, titanium is selected for rotor material, the Elastic Modulus E=110GPa, the density ρ=4.g/cm3, the Poisson's ratio ϑ=0.34, the rotor diameter D =200mm, the rotor thickness H =100mm, the rotation axis diameter d0=4mm, the fillet radius of rotation axis r =1.mm, the rotational acceleration of the rotor a=1. 10 g, the hole diameter d1 =10mm, the distance of two holes e =140mm, the thermal expansion coefficient α=7.89 10-3/ C, thermal conductivity =6 10-3 W/(mm K), parameters marked as Fig.1below. d D e d H Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the rotor geometry. To improve accuracy, the elements at the intersection of the rotation axis, and the elements around the hole, should be meshed subdivision, others can be meshed by automatic intelligent meshing. According to the rotation characteristics of the rotor, Z direction DOF of one end of the rotary axis is constraint, the other end is free, the radial displacement of the rotor is limited, the angular velocity that normal to the rotation axis is applied.
Effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of the standard rotor Under the above conditions, finite element analysis is carried out, then the solution results are extracted, changes of mechanical properties of the rotor are compared in temperature and without temperature, as shown in Fig.2, Fig. (a) shows that with the rise of temperature, the maximum equivalent stress of the rotor showed a linear growth trend, and when the temperature is close to the reference temperature, the maximum equivalent stress of the rotor is almost equal to that of no temperature. From Fig.(b) it can be seen, with the rise of temperature, the rotor of the maximum equivalent strain also close to linear growth trend, when the temperature is close to the reference temperature, the strain value slightly less than of no temperature.

Influences of temperature changes on the mechanical properties of the rotor while considering manufacturing error On the basis of considering the temperature changes, the parallelism error and symmetry error are also considered, the coupling influences of manufacture error and temperature on the mechanical properties of the rotor are researched, referencing the actually manufacturing precision of the rotor, the fourth tolerances is selected, the rotor FEM including the manufacturing errors is established. Influence of parallelism error on the mechanical properties of the rotor when consider temperature Description of parallelism error. According to the definition of parallelism, parallelism of line to line in any direction is the region of cylindrical plane, it is orientation error. In this paper, the parallelism error of single hole centerline relative to the rotation axis of the rotor is studied, as shown in Fig.3, in order to effectively describe the parallelism error, the centerline of the hole should be deviated from the ideal centerline while modeling, the deviation amount is corresponding to the maximum parallelism error.

Influence of symmetry error on the mechanical properties of the rotor when considering temperature Description of symmetry error. Symmetry is the minimum distance of two planes including the symmetry plane of the measured surface (or axis), the standard is the symmetry center, so it belongs to position error. Symmetry error of rotor refers to the distance of the two symmetry holes, the symmetry center is the rotation centerline of the rotor, as shown in Figure. Similarly, when establishing the rotor FEM including symmetric error, one hole maintains its ideal position, offset is set in the other hole, and the offset should be corresponding with the maximum symmetry error.
