2016, 35(4): 514-522. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2016.0404
Abstract:
High-performanced and complex integral die forgings require the forging hydraulic press has the function of synchronous operation with multi-cylinder and stable operation. However, with the reason of the huge moving inertia, complex and variable load, non-uniform forging material and asymmetric in shape, the equipment extremely tends to be unstable in speed and its moving beam is also easy to tilt. In view of these problems, considering the hydraulic nonlinear and complex load, we establish a motion model for forging press. Meanwhile, a method of joint control of combined drivers with synchronization was proposed. With a multi-factor self-tuning fuzzy control to drive subsystem and a fuzzy decoupling control to the synchronization subsystem, the press can not only achieve a forging stable speed, but also has high-precision synchronization performance. At last, the system effectiveness has been verified via the simulation and experiment results. All these will provide with theoretical foundations and guarantees for the large inertia equipment's precise operation.

Abstract:
A numerical method for casing structural vibration in a marine centrifugal fan was presented. Firstly, an unsteady flow field calculation of centrifugal fan was employed to obtain the vibration sources of volute casing; then a weak fluid-structure coupling algorithm was used for grid interpolation and loading aerodynamics loads; at the last, the volute structure vibration response was obtained based on the mode superposition method of FEM. Numerical results of pressure fluctuations in the flow fields and vibration responses are compared with experiments respectively, showing a good agreement. The mechanism of fluid-induced structural vibration was discussed through pressure fluctuations in the fluid fields and structural vibration responses, the pressure fluctuations of BPF are the primary exciting source of fluid-structure vibrations, BPF component is predominant in vibration frequency response. The major structural vibration response of volute casing results from contributions of both unsteady aerodynamics and vibration modal in BPF.

2016, 35(4): 531-534. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2016.0406
Abstract:
A single-degree-of-freedom vibrating system with two-sided constraints is considered. Routes from doubling-periodic bifurcation and Grazing bifurcation of periodic motion to chaotic motion are illustrated by numerical methods. The principle and procedure of the OGY method are introduced. Due to sensitivity to tiny perturbations and traversal properties of chaotic orbits, an unstable fixed point embedded in the chaotic attractor is chosen as the controlling target, and chaotic behavior is controlled to the desired orbit by applying tiny perturbation on a system parameter. The simulated results show that the chaotic motion is suppressed in a very short time period.

2016, 35(4): 539-544. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2016.0408
Abstract:
The kinematics model of an industrial robot is established with the screw theory, and a sub-problem category is proposed for its general inverse kinematics solution. The link parameters of the robot is calculated with the special configuration method and the robot model library of simulation software DELMIA(digital enterprise lean manufacturing interaction application). The motion of the first three joints is defined as a new type of sub-problem, which can be described as a known point rotating around two parallel axes and an axe perpendicular to the first two axes at a given point. Combined with the classical Paden-Kahan sub-problem, eight groups of analytic expressions for inverse solution are derived. Taking the IRB1400 arc welding robot as an example, we verify the algorithm. The simulation results show that the algorithm has an error of 10-12 orders of magnitude and needs less than 0.12 ms, which satisfies the high requirements for the accuracy and real-time of the robot's control system.

Abstract:
We analyzed the kinematics and dynamics of a large horsepower tractor according to its performance parameters and then designed a geometric type hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission (HMCVT) with a double-planetary gear, including the transmission ratio of shifting mechanism, diesel engine, clutches and hydraulic speed regulator. We compared the experimental and theoretical curves of the stepless speed regulator, and analyzed the causes of error and the rationality of the design scheme. In three operation modes of the tractor, the experimental results for matching the HMCVT and the engine verify the continuously stepless speed regulation characteristics and the dynamic response performance.

2016, 35(4): 562-567. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2016.0412
Abstract:
The longitudinal vibration of the drill string is the principal factor causing drill bit failure and drill pipe wear, on which the transverse inertia effect has an important influence. Based on this point, the longitudinal vibration control of drilling string is studied considering its lateral inertial effect by using the Rayleigh-Love rode model. Assuming that the drilling string can be divided into several parts with material damping of Rayleigh-Love rod, and drilling fluid around drill string are elastic layers with common attributes. According to the actual working condition of drilling string and regarding the whole drill string as the object, simplified mathematical models and vibration equations are established. According to the relationships between parameters and the boundary conditions of the models, we obtain the solutions to complex impedance and the differential equations of dynamic stiffness at the bottom of the drill string, and the influences of different parameters on the dynamic stiffness of drill string are analyzed by MATLAB. The results show that dynamic stiffness of the drilling string increases gradually with the frequency in the form of periodic change, while the vibration period increases; when other related parameters remain unchanged, the absolute value of dynamic stiffness increases with the increase of the length and cross-sectional area of the drill string; damping coefficient is bigger, which means that the force of bottom-hole to drilling string is bigger, so the amplitude of dynamic stiffness is smaller; when Poisson's ratio increases, its dynamic stiffness period increases with the frequency.

Zhao Yuwei, Ma Bo, Shen Bingsheng, Zhang Jinjie
2016, 35(4): 568-572. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2016.0413
Abstract:
The use of "single feature alarm" and "threshold alarm" makes the single alarm mode for the reciprocating compressor, which leads to blindly parking and affect the production. It is also unable to analyze whether the operating condition of equipment is abnormal or not comprehensively and to alarm in advance. An automatic alarm system for reciprocating compressor based on state subspace is proposed in this paper. Features of operating condition signals of the equipment are extracted to construct a multidimensional feature matrix. The dimension is then reduced by KPCA (Kernel Principal Component Analysis, KPCA) method to construct the state subspace. The difference degree between the normal state subspace and the current state subspace is calculated and the alarm threshold of the difference degree is obtained by self-learning of data of fault cases. Verified by actual failure cases, the method can significantly advance the alarm time point of typical failure of reciprocating compressor and improve the fault alarm ability of online condition monitoring system.

Abstract:
The laminate structure of an I-beam with strips and web is designed based on the classic laminate theory and the strength criterion of maximum stress. The MATLAB software programming is used and the characteristics of I-beam are considered in the design process. Three finite element models of the I-beam composite with different laminate structures are constructed based on the manufacture process. The stress analysis of the three different laminate I-beam composite is carried out. The stress distributions of some representative layers are given. The stresses of material principal directions are calculated. The ultimate loads of the three laminate I-beams composite are determinated based on the strength criterion of maximum stress on condition that the I-beams composite is in linear state. The results of finite element analysis are compared with that of classic laminate theory. It is showed that: 1) the ultimate loads of the I-beams composite of inner C connection and L connection are higher than the theoretical load; the ultimate load of the I-beam composite of outer C connection is lower than the theoretical load; the relative errors of the three ultimate loads are all smaller than 9% which means the finite element results fit well with the theoretical ultimate load; 2) the initial damages of the I-beams are all occurred in the 45° layer on the lower strips. The damage mode is matrix fracture; 3) the ultimate load of I-beam composite is mainly determined by the strength of the matrix; 4) the damage position is in the cross-section of the fixed end; 5) the design method of I-beam laminate composite based on classic laminate theory and the finite element models of composite I-beam composite built in this paper are reasonable and reliable.

2016, 35(4): 646-651. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2016.0427
Abstract:
In order to improve the wear resistance of Ti6Al4V alloy contacted with polytetrafluoroethylene-based (PTFE) composites in seawater, plasma nitriding (PN) and micro arc oxidation (MAO) were used to modify the surface of Ti6Al4V alloy. The tribological properties of Ti6Al4V alloy matrix and its modified layers sliding with polytetrafluoroethylene-based (PTFE) composites in seawater were comparatively investigated. The PTFE composites were made with glass fiber and bronze separately by compression molding. The results indicate that low friction coefficients were shown in the modified layers of Ti6Al4V alloy sliding with PTFE composites in seawater. The Ti6Al4V alloy exhibits the poor wear resistance and leads to the serious wear of PTFE composites. The above two kinds of surface treatments effectively improve the wear resistance of Ti6Al4V alloy. The PN treatment with reducing the wear of PTFE composites shows the better wear resistance comparing with that via MAO treatment with accelerating the wear of PTFE composites. The glass fiber reinforced PTFE shows the better wear resistance comparing with that of the bronze reinforced PTFE in the same condition. It has obvious advantages that the titanium alloy with PN treatment contacted with glass fiber reinforced PTFE were chosen as the materials of the tribological components used in hydraulic transmission in the marine environment application.

2016, 35(4): 652-656. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2016.0428
Abstract:
In order to predict the materials' low cycle fatigue life, the Formula of Three-Parameter Power Function and Ostergren model were investigated and a damage energy life prediction model was proposed based on the Three-Parameter Power Function. The low cycle fatigue test data for superalloy, titanium alloy and other metallic materials were used to verify this model, and its analysis results was compared with the Manson-Coffin model's laterly. Using the low cycle fatigue test data of superalloy GH4133 at 250℃ to establish its cyclic stress-strain curve and damage energy life prediction model, at the same time tested the curve and model. The results show that the established cyclic stress-strain curve can accurately reflect the relation between stress and strain in such circumstances. Besides, the damage energy life prediction model has a better fitting effect for the twelve materials' low cycle fatigue test data and its life prediction accuracy is significant higher than that of Manson-Coffin model.
