2015, 34(8): 1149-1152. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0801
Abstract:
Analytical method has been used to study the load distribution along the helix of thread when the bolt-joint is subjected to eccentric loading. The equation of coordination deformation of bolt-joint with bending moment is derived based on the theory of elasticity and a numerical method was applied to obtain the approximate solution. The formula for load distribution of bolt-joint under eccentric loading is deduced. Taking the bolt-joint of M16x2 as an example, the load distribution of thread is simulated using the MATLAB software and the results are consistent with those of photoelastic experiment.

Abstract:
To obtain dynamic characteristics for contact forces during continuous meshing of multi-teeth, a dynamic model of meshing muti-teeth is built as follows: a gear is divided into a rigid gear wheel body and circumferentially rotatable flexible teeth; the elastic elements composed of rotational spring-damper combinations are used to connect them based on the deflection mechanism of real teeth; a complaint contact force model called Lankarani & Nikravesh model and Kuhn-Tucker constraint equations are utilized to realize the meshing. The example shows that calculated contact force in meshing region is in good agreement with that obtained with machine design method. The calculated meshing impact is verified through a gear impact test. The results of numerical computation and experiment indicate that the model can reflect the characteristics of tooth kinematics contact and kinetics contact and it is suitable for modeling gear drive systems.

Abstract:
Dust shield in down-the-hole(DTH)drill,as a key component of its dust abatement system,plays an important role in dust-sucking capability,cleaning efficiency and operation reliability. Based on the analysis of internal flow field and structural parameters of the dust shield in DTH drill and a three-dimensional model built with Pro/e software, the flow field of dust shield was calculated with workbench software. An improved design scheme was proposed after exploring the influence of different structural parameters on sucking effect. And gas-solid two-phase flow was simulated and analyzed. The results show that the increase of the cylinder height of the dust shield will reduce the leakage of the leakage collar and is conducive to the collection of dust. When the cylinder diameter is 350 mm it has a beneficial effect on the stability of the internal flow field. The greater the inclination of exhaust pipe is, the better the dust collection capability of the shield has.

Xu Qingqing, Shi Zhiyu
2015, 34(8): 1161-1165. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0804
Abstract:
In identifying the parameters with the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method, there exists the deficiency of the mode separation of two intrinsic mode function (IMF) components with near frequency and the non-orthogonality between IMF components, which make the parameters identification results not accurate and stable enough. To solve these problems, we propose the improved EMD method which combines the wave group(WG) signal processing method with the orthogonal empirical mode decomposition(OEMD). Based on the improved EMD method, the parameter identification procedures for time varying structures with closely spaced modes are proposed and applied to the numerical simulation with a three degrees-of-freedom time varying dynamic model. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method has very good effectiveness, efficiency and has the advantages of identifying the parameters of time varying structures with closely spaced modes.

Focusing on the structural characteristics of a redundant parallel robot, we analyze its forward kinematics and then determine its workspace.

Then we confirm the angular ranges of joints of the redundant parallel robot, plan its trajectory with the linear interpolation algorithm and simulate the trajectory. The simulation results prove the correctness of the workspace and trajectory of the redundant parallel robot.

2015, 34(8): 1181-1185. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0808
Abstract:
A new method is presented for extracting feature lines on triangular surfaces. The initial feature line is extracted with the tracing-projection algorithm with a few feature points specified. Several sample points are obtained with uniform sampling the initial feature line. The sample points are then replaced by new feature points acquired with finding the maximum mean curvature point among the points around each sample point. A B-spline curve is fitted with the new feature points. Finally, the feature line which captures surface feature very well is obtained with projecting the B-spline curve on the triangular surfaces. Experimental results demonstrate that the feature line extracted with the present method can smoothly capture the object features.

2015, 34(8): 1201-1205. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0811
Abstract:
The traditional NURBS interpolation algorithms are time-consuming for large amount of calculations. To solve the problem, a predictor-corrector NURBS interpolation algorithm based on predicted error compensation is presented. The interpolation algorithm avoids derivative calculation with simple linearization calculations reducing computational complexity availably and increasing computational efficiency, and also can compensate the predicted value for approaching the real value according to the changing trend of curvature. As for the slow-convergent-speed problem of the traditional corrector formula, a new corrector formula based on the secant method is presented. The new corrector formula is superlinear convergence of numerical methods reducing times of iteration effectively. The simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has advanced characterization of less calculations and strong maneuverability, outstanding stability and excellent reliability; it also can effectively control the rate fluctuation, and satisfy the real-time interpolation requirement.

2015, 34(8): 1222-1228. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0815
Abstract:
An immune genetic algorithm for a large-scale job shop scheduling problem is proposed based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC). According to the theory, bottleneck mechanisms constrain the performance of a manufacturing system, so we use an immune genetic algorithm to encode the bottleneck mechanisms and non-bottleneck mechanisms respectively. The bottleneck mechanisms are scheduled deeply, and the non-bottleneck mechanisms are scheduled quickly to enhance the computational efficiency of the algorithm. To do so, we define a set of candidate bottleneck jobs and add them to the bottleneck mechanisms according to the TOC. The characteristic information on chromosomes is used to assist the optimization of the immune genetic algorithm with the operation of interchanging the sequences of the job shop scheduling problem on the bottleneck mechanisms. The simulation results show that the applications of bottleneck mechanisms and immune operators are effective, and the immune genetic algorithm can obtain satisfactory solutions within acceptable time.

Abstract:
The lift platform cylinder hinge point location is analyzed. In order to improve the not so smooth lifting by the lift platform and to enlarge the piston thrust, the multi-objective optimization of the lift platform's piston thrust and lifting speed are carried out. Based on the kinematics and dynamics of the double-scissor hydraulic elevator, the mathematical models which set hydraulic piston thrust and hoisting speed as objectives are built. A few sets of different hydraulic cylinder hinge points are chosen to simulate and analyze the variation of piston thrust and lifting speed during lifting. Then the piston thrust and lifting speed as the objective are determined when the lift platform is at its lowest point. The particle swarm optimization algorithm was performed to optimize the hydraulic cylinder hinge point location, and MATLAB is used for programming and simulation. The algorithm is effective and can quickly and accurately obtain the optimal location parameters to achieve the whole elevator optimization.

2015, 34(8): 1239-1243. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0818
Abstract:
Because high-frequency chattering and poor tracking control performance exist in a direct drive bump-controlled electro-hydraulic position servo system when a common sliding mode control is used, we introduce a fuzzy control variable into the common sliding mode control to soften the control signal, thus weakening the severe chattering that arises from the sliding mode switching and improving the control precision and stability of the electro-hydraulic position servo system. The proportional switching fuzzy sliding mode controller is designed based on the above thought and is softened by its output. The simulation and experiments on the unit step response and cosine tracking characteristics have been carried out with the sliding mode control and fuzzy sliding mode control respectively. The results show that the fuzzy sliding mode control can remarkably increase the speed of dynamic response and steady-state control accuracy, enhance the robustness of the direct drive bump-controlled electro-hydraulic position servo system and weaken the high frequency chattering that exists in common sliding mode control.

2015, 34(8): 1283-1288. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0827
Abstract:
Along rugged mountain roads or downhill roads, heavy-duty vehicles can achieve the purpose of stable driving with the constant torque braking of a hydraulic retarder. Considering the hydraulic retarder can produce high braking torque in a short time, we proposes a hydraulic control system to realize the constant torque braking. Because the hydraulic control system considers the liquid filling rate of the hydraulic retarder, its vent valve opening and cavity pressure, the hydraulic loss of the hydraulic retarder is reduced through hydrodynamic calculation. Besides, based on the vehicle braking and control simulation and the differential forward incremental PID (DFI-PID) simulation, the co-simulation of the control of the hydraulic retarder was carried out, thus obtaining the changes in vent valve opening and cavity pressure at higher liquid filling rate and then realizing the constant torque braking. The analysis results show that, during braking, at higher liquid filling rate, the vent valve opening needs to be adjusted to ensure that the hydraulic retarder has the constant torque braking of high strength.

Abstract:
Combining the Direct Yaw Moment Control (DYC) and Active Front Steering (AFS) control, we proposed a vehicle stability integrated control method. Based on the vehicle nonlinear model, the phase plane of sideslip angle and sideslip angular velocity were used to determine the vehicle stability region. For the vehicle outside the stability region, the DYC was used to make the vehicle into the stability region. Then the AFS sliding mode control was used to make the vehicle sideslip angle and yaw rate track those of the ideal vehicle model. The simulation results and their analysis show that the integrated control method improves the stability of vehicle more effectively than separately with the AFS controller.

Abstract:
Axial force, which induced by the interference-fit on the close contact interface between bolt and hole, is the crucial element to dominate the delamination of composite plate during the bolt insertion process. A model for predicting the axial force on the bolt insertion process of composite interference-fit joint is presented.
