Abstract
Based on the principles of nonlinear dynamics, a dynamic model of the jet system for adaptive fire-fighting monitors was established. The influence of nonlinear fluid spring force on the dynamic model was described by the Duffing equation. Results of numerical calculation indicate that the nonlinear action of the fluid spring force leads to the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the jet system and fluid gas content, fluid pressure, excitation frequency, and excitation amplitude are the key factors affecting the dynamics of the jet system. When the excitation frequency is close to the natural frequency of the corresponding linear dynamic system, a sudden change in vibration amplitude occurs. The designed adaptive fire-fighting monitor had no multi-cycle, bifurcation, or chaos in the range of design parameters, which was consistent with the stroboscopic sampling results in the dynamic experiment of jet system. This research can provide a basis for the dynamic design and optimization of the adaptive fire-fighting monitor, and similar equipment.
Highlights
A fire-fighting monitor is a piece of fire-fighting equipment with a large flow and long-range, and is mainly composed of a barrel and a gun head [1,2]
The adaptive fire-fighting monitor was taken as the research object, and the influence of the nonlinear fluid spring force on the dynamic characteristics of the jet system was the focus of the study
Dynamic Analysis of the Jet System. It can be seen from Equation (9) that the dynamic model of the jet system of the adaptive fire-fighting monitor can be described by a Duffing equation with damping
Summary
A fire-fighting monitor is a piece of fire-fighting equipment with a large flow and long-range, and is mainly composed of a barrel and a gun head [1,2]. It is necessary to explore the effect of a nonlinear fluid spring on the dynamic characteristics of the jet system of adaptive fire-fighting monitors. The research on the dynamic characteristics of fluid spring systems is generally carried out by methods of analysis, simulation, and experimentation [19,20,21,22]. The adaptive fire-fighting monitor was taken as the research object, and the influence of the nonlinear fluid spring force on the dynamic characteristics of the jet system was the focus of the study. The measured experimental data was analyzed with nonlinear dynamic research methods, to verify the rationality of the mechanical performance of the designed adaptive fire-fighting monitor
