Liao Mingfu, Huang Wei, Wang Yankai, L�Pin, Zhao Wenchao
2013, 32(3): 313-318.
Abstract:
The control strategies have essential influences on the dynamic stability of modern wind turbines. Thispaper presents a theoretical investigation on this topic. The investigation is motivated by a vibration measurement of4 wind turbines with capacity of 1. 5 MW in a wind park. The wind turbines always get into a violent axial vibrationabove rated wind speed,which is finally confirmed as an instability event associated with pitch control system. Inthis paper the mechanisms of control strategies influencing the dynamic stability are revealed,and the stability en-hancement by means of time delay in pitch control is ascertained. The results show that the optimum control of rota-tional speed for maximizing energy capture below rated power will improve the dynamic stability suppressing the axi-al unstable vibrations of wind turbines. Above rated wind speed,two control modes can be used to keep the poweroutput equal to rated power. One is fixed speed and variable pitch,and another is variable speed and variablepitch. However the control mode of fixed speed and variable pitch can cause unstable axial vibrations of wind tur-bines, pitch control with variable speed can suppress the unstable vibrations. Additionally an appropriate time delayτ in pitch control can effectively enhance the dynamic stability of wind turbines. The optimum time delay is Topt (Tis the period of the axial vibration of wind turbines).

2013, 32(3): 319-323.
Abstract:
Considering the internal dynamic excitation of a spiral bevel gearbox in the synchronization system of aship lift such as stiffness excitation,error excitation and meshing impact excitation,we established the dynamic fi-nite element model of the gearbox that includes meshing spiral bevel gears,transmission shafts,bearings and gear-box houses. The dynamic response of the gearbox is analyzed through using ANSYS, and consequently the displace-ment,speed and acceleration of the gearbox are obtained. Based on SYSNOISE,an acoustic boundary elementmodel of the gearbox is built by using the boundary conditions such as a node's vibration displacement from housingsurface. Then radiation noise prediction is carried out through the direct boundary element method,and the surfaceacoustic pressure contour on the housing surface and the radiation noise at determined field points is obtained. Theresults indicate that the peak values of dynamic response and radiation noise of the gearbox both appear at meshingfrequency and its octave frequencies.
A Position Tracking Trajectory Planning Algorithm
Zhang Deli, Zhou Laishui
2013, 32(3): 324-327.
Abstract:
If position tracking relies entirely on the response of the servo control system for target signals,then theacceleration may be too large and exceeds the system's response ability,the mechanical system is subject to vibra-tion and jitter,and the level of control difficulty is high. If the servo control system can calculate and trim themovement trajectories in real time according to the moving target,the servo control system will run more smoothly,the control difficulty is greatly reduced. The servo control system is divided into certain moving target and mobileuncertain target. We propose an algorithm that uses the five-order spline curve to plan the real time trajectory of thecertain moving target. The tracking speed,acceleration and jerk of the control system are continuous in the wholeprocess,which makes the tracking motion smooth. We also propose an algorithm that uses the S curve profile toplan the real time trajectory of the mobile uncertain target so as to achieve the real-time computing of the movingtarget trajectory. This makes the acceleration continuous when switch between multi-segments of the moving uncer-tain target and guarantees the tracking motion smoothness.

2013, 32(3): 328-332.
Abstract:
The bearing chamber is an important component in aircraft engine. To understand the oil/air two phaseflow conditions in the bearing chamber is beneficial to improve the lubrication efficiency,working performance andreliability of an aircraft engine. The two phase flow conditions of the different flow patterns can be studied based onthe flow pattern recognition,which is a feasible way to obtain the physical phenomenon of two phase flows in thebearing chamber. Considering the experiment accessibility,recognition ability and the predecessors' works,the K-Means clustering analysis was employed to cluster the oil/air two phase flow pattern in the bearing chamber with thecharacteristic parameters on the wall surface nearby. The dimensionless two phase mixture velocity and the dimen-sionless pressure were chosen as the characteristic parameters for their remarkable difference in the flow pattern.The results of work indicate that the clustering approach is a successful one to identify the flow pattern in the bear-ing chamber. The work supports the physical conditions research, the lubrication design and the heat transfer analy-sis in the bearing chamber based on the flow pattern recognition.

Abstract:
In order to shorten the vehicle body design,the interpolation of 3D reconstruction method is widely usedin the vehicle body design. The familiar interpolation method is difficult to express the detail characterization of thereal surface well,and although the surface is smooth,it can't pass initial control points.

2013, 32(3): 344-347.
Abstract:
Based on the binary interval number theory,a multiple indicator assessment model of fighter air combatcapability has been created,in which the weights are unknown. Evaluation indicators are the most important onesin modern air battles which include mobility,firepower parameters,air combat capability,detection parameters,manipulating coefficient and the voyage coefficient. Using the cosine formula to establish the optimization model ofmulti-attribute evaluation,the size of index segment of the cosine between the various models and the ideal modelare compared; then the air combat capability between flights can be described. The weight of subjectivity and thecalculation process can be reduced in this way. Finally,the model is used to a numerical example to verify the fea-sibility of the model.

Abstract:
On the basis of research on engagement principle of spur gear drive,a design method of tooth profilebased on line of action is presented.

Abstract:
A typical airplane fuselage from FS380 to FS500 is utilized to study the influences of different impact condi-tions on fuselage crashworthiness. The finite element model of the fuselage structure is established and the crashworthi-ness characteristics are simulated when v =9.133 m/s under the condition of 0 roll angle, 10�left roll angle,and withhorizontal acceleration separately. The overall deformation and the acceleration history curves at seats are compared. Theresults show that the left roll angle changes the fuselage deformation and the acceleration at seats obviously,while thedeformation of the floors increases and the acceleration at the seats decreases when the horizontal acceleration is consid-ered. A suitable emergence landing conditions can increase the aircraft crashworthiness.

Shi Minglin, Wang Dezhong, Zhang Jige
2013, 32(3): 358-361.
Abstract:
The FEA model of a large-scale canned motor pump rotor is established based on ANSYS. The effects ofgyroscopic effect on the critical rotating speed and the mass unbalance response are investigated by using modalanalysis and harmonic response analysis. The analytical results show that the gyroscopic effect obviously affects crit-ical rotating speed and should be considered in the rotordynamic analysis. The calculated critical rotating speed ishigher than the design value when the gyroscopic effect is considered. The first resonant peak values of mass unbal-ance response in all test points are within the design vibration limit. The vibration amplitudes of the impeller, upperand lower flywheel centres far exceed other test points. These test points are susceptive to vibration and should bemonitored carefully in operation.

Li Xinming, Yan Hongzhi, Wu Bo, Xun Hailiang
2013, 32(3): 388-394.
Abstract:
In this paper ,the method of liquid-solid two-phase flow is used to simulate with the multiple referenceframe (MRF),the Eulerian multiphase flow model,the RNG k-ε turbulence model in the fluent software , and thecharacteristics of flow field and stirring power of double-layer impellers is analyzed under different conditions in thevertical stirred tank. The results show that different combined impellers have affected the macroscopic flow charac-teristics significantly. When the upper and lower impellers are different,the turbulent kinetic energy of the mixtureis enhanced,circular flow is increased,and the mixing effect is improved,so we choose the double-layer upper-in-clined lower-vertical impeller as the optimal impeller. On analyzing the stirred shaft power,it is concluded that thelarger rotational speed has a larger stirring power, and with particle size increasing, the stirred power increases aftera decrease,and particle volume fraction has a light effect to the stirred power,and the maximum error between thesimulation and experimental results is 15%.

Abstract:
In this paper,we present a new printing image registration error detection method based on the DECM(Distant Edge Co-occurrence Matrix). We use printing image information to register errors. Firstly,we collect aprinting image with the CCD camera and convert it from RGB color space to CMYK color space. Secondly,we sep-arate the image into C, M, Y, K color channels and obtain the edge image of each channel. We calculate the trans-lation distance between detecting the edge images (C,M,Y) and the reference edge image (K). The method pro-posed in this paper can easily compute the four-color overprint deviation. The simulation results and experimentalresults have good agreement,indicating that the method is correct and effective.

Abstract:
Based on the first passage failure principle,the dynamic reliability model of diamondback wing underthe random wind load was established,and then its dynamic reliability sensitivity was analyzed under the same con-dition. Via researching the times with structural dynamic response passing through the safety limit on the load ofrandom vibration, the dynamic reliability model of diamondback wing was obtained.

The results show that,inconsidering the random wind load only,to increase wing thickness and chord length of back wing or reduce chordlength of front wing and leading edge sweepback can improve the dynamic reliability of diamondback wing underwind load. But it is needed to take synthetically into account the aerodynamic contour and other loads in engineer-ing design.

Numerically Simulating Influence of Undulating Motion Mode of Biomimetic Fish Fin on Its Motion Performance
Zhang Yonghua, He Jianhui
2013, 32(3): 435-440.
Abstract:
The undulating motion of a biomimetic fish fin can be classified into two modes: 1) the amplitude keepsconstant; 2) the amplitude changes gradually with its position. The study of the two modes can provide useful infor-mation for controlling an artificial fish fin. We build a two-dimensional mathematical model of the undulating motionmodes with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology. With the mathematical model,we compare thepressure contour and average generative force of the two motion modes with the same Re number and kinematical pa-rameters (frequency,wave velocity and average amplitude) and discuss the change in drag coefficient with time.The simulation results show that the undulating motion mode with the constant amplitude of the fish fin generates alarger propulsion force and a higher propulsion stability. Finally,we explain the reasons for the difference betweenpropulsion results of the two modes with the vortex distribution and intensity in the wake.

Abstract:
In order to study the complex stress and strain field of composite under biaxial load,a new modified AntColony Optimization (ACO) is proposed in this paper for shape and size optimization of composite cruciform speci-men. Due to the strong dependence of global best value in the iterations and special requirements of specimen de-sign,the ant's move method and pheromone updating strategy were modified,and a classical example was also em-ployed to demonstrate validation and versatility of the modified algorithm. A FEM parametric modeling techniquewas coupled with the modified ACO so as to optimize the geometry of composite cruciform specimen. The optimiza-tion result shows that a uniform strain field is obtained in the test zone and the convergence process of the optimiza-tion is quick.
