Unwanted vibrations in rotating machinery are controlled from an “active”point of view, meaning, that certain parameters, and thereby vibrations, can be controlled while the machine is operating. This is accomplished from the theoretical knowledge known about rotor dynamics, mechanical vibrations, automatic controls, fluid dynamics, and bearing design theory to produce an active remedy to fundamental vibration problems. From the known information about the critical speeds of a machine and while the speed transients are occuring, active controls cause these critical speeds to be made variable and always away from the actual running speed. By this means, the machine does not have to “run through”the critical speeds but rather, the critical speeds are jumped over by control of certain parameters. This approach is novel but may be accomplished by several different techniques, of which a variety are presented herein. It is recognized that this invention is not obvious are therefore may be, at first glance, thought to circumvent certain laws of physics. This is not the case, rather, it makes use of the subtleties of the laws of physics that generally go unnoticed.

A device for limiting mechanical vibrations of rotary machinery, said device comprising: one or more position detectors for a rotor shaft, said position detectors generating signals each being referenced to the shaft by means of a mark or notch on the shaft or other means; a computer, having a memory, with a control algorithm for manipulating the signals coming from the position detectors, said control algorithm having optimum gain settings; an electronic controller for manipulating hydraulic valves, said hydraulic valves controlling flow of pressurized oil, said oil being supplied by an auxiliary hydraulic pumping system; movable pads of tilt pad fluid film bearings which are radially positioned by said pressurized oil acting through hydraulic actuators, one said actuator acting on one said radially movable pad; said position detectors, hydraulic valves, auxiliary hydraulic pumping system, movable bearing pads, and hydraulic actuators functioning in concert with one another and under feedback control of the computer to continually adjust said pads, and in turn the stiffnesses and damping coefficients of said rotating machinery; during each rotation of the rotor shaft in such an optimum manner as to reduce the peak vibration level of the rotor shaft for each and every speed of rotation, said computer algorithm coacting with previously detected data or stored data, said data stored in the memory of the computer, in an optimum manner to avoid manipulating gross changes in said optimum gain settings of said control algorithm, said gain settings being included in said computer control algorithm and acting on instantaneous shaft motion and which operate on said electronic controller.
