Hu Xuteng, Xin Pengpeng, Song Yingdong
2013, 32(2): 164-169.
Abstract:
A probabilistic fatigue life prediction method for notched specimens was established based on the wea-kest-link theory and Weibull fatigue life distribution of smooth specimen. A Weibull equivalent stress was derivedand fatigue failure probability for notched specimen was formulated based on the weakest-link theory and fatiguestrength distribution of smooth specimen. According to the relationship between the Walker equivalent stress andthe characteristic fatigue life,the characteristic life of notched specimen can be calculated based on the Weibull e-quivalent stress. Finally the life distribution of notched specimens can be obtained based on the fatigue life distribu-tion of smooth specimen. This method was evaluated by the probabilistic fatigue life prediction of TC4 alloy notchedspecimens and the prediction result was compared with the local stress-strain method. The result shows that the lo-cal stress-strain method was very conservative,the method presented in this paper can predict more accurately. Thepredicted life with 50% failure rate agrees well with the test mean tested life of TC4 alloy notched specimens. Thepredicted life with 10% and 90% failure rate are mostly within the scatter band of 2 compared to the test mean life.

2013, 32(2): 170-177.
Abstract:
This paper presents the grinding control method and the grinding wheel wear compensation algorithms bymeasuring the height of the saw bit. Before and after processing the saw bit,the CNC system obtains the height ofthe saw bit by applying the displacement sensor,which helps to obtain a series of grinding parameters and controlthe grinding process. The feeder manipulator controlled by an independent type PLC completes the feeding andtransporting actions. By combining of the displacement sensor with the feeder manipulator,the grinding machinecompletes the grinding work automatically. The partially parallel running between the feeder manipulator action andthe saw grinding work saves a lot of time and achieves the objectives of high accuracy,high efficiency and easy op-eration.

2013, 32(2): 184-187.
Abstract:
Based on the experimental results of temperature field,the outermost average temperature of coking fur-nace wall is 40. 42 ℃,which results in a great loss of heat and not meeting project needs.

When the total thickness of the furnace wall is constant, in order to obtain the outermost tempera-ture less than 30 ℃,the most reasonable structure parameters of coking furnace wall are received on the basis ofthe mathematical model in the engineering requirements.

Abstract:
Electron cyclotron resonance ion thruster is a type of static electric thruster,and it has the advantages ofhigh specific impulse,electrodeless and high durability,which make the thruster competitive in the applications ofdeep space probe and long life satellite. The discharge chamber is the key component of electron cyclotron reso-nance ion thruster. Within the discharge chamber,applied magnetic field,microwave and plasma are coupled to-gether. It is important to understand the plasma parameters for the optimization of the chamber structure and its per-formances. At the assumption of unmagnetized ions in the chamber and with Langmuir probe,the electron tempera-ture and ion number density are diagnosed directly. The results show that at argon mass flow rate of 3 sccm and 8sccm,and the output power of 10 W and 34 W,the electron temperature and ion density are diagnosed from 1 eVto 6. 8 eV and 2 �0 16/m3to 2. 8 �017 /m3respectively.

Influence of Sweep on Tip Regions Flow Unstability in a Highly Loaded Fan Rotor
Wang Lei, Liu Bo
2013, 32(2): 217-220.
Abstract:
Steady and unsteady three-dimensional viscous flows are calculated to obtain flow fields under various operat-ing conditions for two-level highly loaded transonic forward-speep rotors and to advance the understanding of the flowfield near tip regions. The study shows that with the forward-swept rotor,the tip clearance vortex does not break downeven under the stalled condition. A low momentum area originating from the endwall boundary layer prevents incomingflow from passing through the pressure side of the passage and initiates stall inception. With the backsweep rotor,thecore tip clearance vortex breaks down just like when a conventional rotor does near the stalled condition.

2013, 32(2): 225-230.
Abstract:
The nanoscale stick-slip friction process of a rigid hemispherical tip on a single crystal copper texturesurface was investigated by using molecular dynamics simulation. The effects of texture shape and texture depth onthe characteristics of stick-slip friction under different texture densities were studied. The comparative analysis ofsliding friction force and substrate's deformation with different texture parameters reveals the effects of these param-eters on the stick-slip friction process. The simulation results show that the sliding friction force on the square pillartexture surface is less than that on the groove texture surface with the same texture density; compared with thegroove texture surface,the square pillar texture surface's structural stability is poor,but the latter's structural sta-bility is strengthened while its texture density increases; when the surface texture density is constant,the slidingfriction force on the groove texture surface decreases with the increasing of the texture depth.

2013, 32(2): 240-245.
Abstract:
A novel method using circuit model to predict the pin load distribution of multiple-bolted joints in com-posite laminate was presented. The load,flexibility and deformation of the multiple-bolted joints were treated asequivalent to the current,resistance and voltage of the circuit model respectively. Based on the above assumptions,Hooke's law and the deformation compatibility equation in the original mechanics model were transformed intoOhm's law and voltage balance equation in the new circuit model. This method changed the complex model of mul-tiple bolted-joints in composite laminate into a simple circuit model which consists of some series circuits and paral-lel circuits. The analysis of the new circuit model had led to n -1 independent voltage balance equations and a cur-rent balance equation. With the n -1 equations,each bolt's current which is equivalent to its load can be calculat-ed. With the circuit model,power sources which were added as required in some subcircuits can also simulate theclearance or interference in multiple-bolted joints. Compared with the results of the multiple bolted-joints compositelaminate test,this new method can estimate well the load distribution of a multiple-bolted joints.

2013, 32(2): 274-278.
Abstract:
The specific impact of residual stresses in aluminum-alloy engine cylinder head on crack forming was an-alyzed,while adopting the blind-hole method to measure the level and distribution of the residual stresses in thecracking areas and some other sensitive parts of three groups. Considering cylinder head's complex structure andthe position of the measuring points,the processes of drilling blind holes and milling the pipelines and their sideplates were conducted by a milling and drilling machine in this study. The time-domain curves of strain at themeasuring points were recorded by a 30-channel strain gauge (DRA-30A) during stress releasing in the processesof drilling and milling. The test results showed that the primary cause of cracks in the cylinder head is,that the re-sidual stresses in the pipelines is mainly compressive stress but in the top surface of the lower part it is tensilestress. The highest possible area of forming crack is in Point 4, and the most obvious tensile effect on the lower partresulted from the pipeline in Point 7. The structure design and processing technology of Group B90 are the mostreasonable in all three groups. According to the test results and research conclusion,the new cylinder head canmeet the design requirements after improving the structure and processing technology.
