DESCRIPTION AND MODELING OF STRUCTURE

The geometry is considered as per foundation outline drawing. The


columns are assumed to be fixed on top of base raft at FL ()4.05m. The
top deck level is considered as FL (+) 12.0m & FL(+) 11.2m for Turbine &
Generator respectively. It can be seen from the geometry that the TG
pedestal is built-up of large sections. Hence, the solid brick finite elements
are used to represent the geometry for dynamic analysis. The solid model
is built in ANSYS software based on this geometry and then the finite
element is created by mapped mesh using brick elements. The mapped
volume mesh contains only hexahedron elements.
Basic geometric dimensions are:
Top deck thickness at E.L.11.2 = 1700mm
Sizes of columns = 1600X1600, 2540X1600, 2500X1600 mm
Thickness of deck at E.L.+12.0 = 2500mm
.

MODAL ANALYSIS NATURAL FREQUENCIES


The Mode-Frequency analysis for natural frequency and mode
shape determination is carried out in ANSYS. The assumptions
made in this analysis are
The structure has no time varying forces, displacements,
pressures, or temperatures applied, which means that this is
free vibration analysis.
There is no damping in the structural system.
The structure has constant stiffness and mass effects.
3D MASS 21 element (from ANSYS element library) is used to
represent machine mass application points on top of deck.
The natural frequencies are obtained for first seventy five
modes of vibration.

1.

First order natural frequency, f1 1.25*fm or


f1 0.8*fm , fm = Machine operating
frequency, 50 Hz

f1 = 2.8586 Hz
0.8*50 = 40 Hz
Hence condition 1 is o.k.

2) Higher order natural frequencies

Higher order natural frequencies that approach the service frequency:

fn
0.9*fm
and

fn+1 1.1*fm

This condition is not met

If condition 2a) is not met, it shall suffice that fn is less than fm where n
is equal to 10 or 6.

f10 = 27.3487
50 Hz

Hence clause 2b) is satisfied.

From the above frequency table, it can be seen that the fundamental
structural frequencies are within 30 Hz where the predominant portion
25
of applied mass is participated..

HARMONIC ANALYSIS VIBRATION AMPLITUDES


The harmonic response analysis for obtaining forced vibration amplitudes.
This analysis solves the time-dependent equations of motion for TG
foundation undergoing steady-state vibration. The assumptions made in
this analysis are
The entire structure has constant stiffness, damping, and mass effects. The
structure damping of 2% is considered in the harmonic analysis for normal
operating condition in accordance with Cl. 9.1.1 f) of IS 2974 Part-3.
All loads and displacements vary sinusoidal at the same known frequency
(50 Hz in present analysis case).
The harmonic load is specified in ANSYS with three pieces of information
the amplitude, the phase angle, and the forcing frequency range . The
amplitude is the maximum value of the load. The phase angle is a measure
of the time by which the load lags (or leads) a frame of reference. The
phase angle is required only if multiple loads are present that are out of
phase with each other.
The bearing locations are shown indicatively below.

Unbalanced forces at bearings Bg-1 to Bg-4 are distributed on the


foundation top as per the given Drawing. The excitation forces applied in
the analysis are listed in below table.
.
The unbalanced force can be acting at all the bearings simultaneously,
with random distribution of the relative phase angles.

The peak vibration amplitudes are calculated by performing harmonic


response analysis by applying unbalance forces at all bearing points in
both horizontal and vertical directions. 90o phase difference is
considered between horizontal and vertical directions.

The unbalanced force at each bearing point is applied at two points on


top of foundation symmetrical to centerline of rotor. The lever arm effect
due to horizontal force acting at bearing point at higher elevation is
considered in form of push and pull on top of foundation on either side o
rotor. The harmonic analysis is carried out with different relative phase
angles and it is noted that the maximum displacement amplitude is
occurring for the case of same phase angle for unbalance forces applied
at all bearing points. The unbalanced forces at each bearing point are34
calculated and tabulated as below.

VIBRATION AMPLITUDES
The maximum displacement amplitudes obtained from the harmonic
analysis for 2% damping are tabulated below.The same results are
presented graphically.The vibration amplitudes are listed on top of deck
at corresponding bearing locations.

From the above table it can be seen that the vibration amplitudes in both
directions are very less and well within the manufacturers specified limits and
also VDI guideline. This is also obvious from the natural frequency table in Sec
3.0 that the contribution of vibration modes to amplitude response in
concentrated around lower modes only and its effect is tapered off towards
higher modes.
Rating according to VDI-guideline 2056, Machine group T (Refer to chart in
next page)
At 50 Hz: Amplitudes < 12.5 m Rating: Good
(2% Damping)
Hence, the foundation system adopted is classified as Good for normal
operating conditions.
