All over the world, but particularly in the United States and in Europe, there is a drive towardsgreater efficiency with the 'More Electric Aircraft''More Electric Aircraft' and 'More Electric Engines''More Electric Engines' programmes andthe prognosis is that future aero-engines will increasingly incorporate mechatronicmechatronic systemssystems.

One of the ideas in this direction is to substitute the current mechanical bearingsystem by Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBsAMBs). This substitution offers the prospect ofseveral advantages, specifically:
Nominal diameter: 110 mm
Radial: Max. force: 2400 N
Thrust: Max. force: 5000 N

Magnetic Bearing LimitationsMagnetic Bearing Limitations
Larger BearingsLarger Bearingsspecific load capacity (maximum load per unit of areaof application) lower than most other bearings systems.
Higher ComplexityHigher Complexity (control)(control)Control system and interface
Requires Electrical PowerRequires Electrical PowerMagnetic bearing require power to drive theelectromagnets, control systems and sensors.
TodayToday:
power unit is still heavy for aeroplanes but removing oilsystem and its auxiliaries eliminates nearly this effect
applicable for non flying engines
but progress in superconduction and improvement ofweight to power ratio will reduce weight and size

Develop Models of :• casing, bearing supports, shaft and rotor;• AMBs;• load-sharing bearings;
Integration of the component models into an overall representative modelof the complete system.
Incorporation of the modelling methods into a user-friendly, fast andreliable modelling tool for commercial application.
It is aimed to develop a set of validated dynamic analysis modelling tools for themajor components of a rotor system supported in AMBs, and an overall modelfor the SMART aero-engine:

Active diagnostics of rotating partsActive diagnostics of rotating parts in Aeroin Aero--EnginesEngines
• Motivation• Rotating parts are not accessible during normal operation
• Must service periodically time consuming costly• Computer controlled Active Magnetic Bearings enable in-situ inspection
• Method• Apply extremely small probing forces (no effect of magnetic levitation)• Probing forces are tuned in real-time according to a calibrated model and
instantaneous speed of rotation• Special signal processing extracts the information about any deviation from
perfect condition in rotating parts (shaft, blades)
• Advantages• Use of existing Magnetic bearings, non-contacting forces• Separate faults in rotating part from casing and non-rotating elements• Detect extremely small faults (e.g. 0.1% deviation in asymmetry)
