Abstract:
A novel four-phase flat-type transverse flux permanent-magnet motor (TFPM) is presented in this paper. In order to solve the bigger cogging torque problem that the TFPM ubiquitously has, the finite element method is adopted to analyze the 3-D magnetic field and the cogging torque of the motor model. The one-phase's cogging torque changing curve with the rotor rotation angle is given. Then the motor stator stagger angle which corresponding to the smallest total cogging torque is calculated by Fourier transform, and the total cogging torque curve is given in this situation. A prototype was designed, and the maximum cogging torques of the single-phase and the prototype were measured. The experimental results verify that the total cogging torque of the motor prototype can be reduced clearly when the stator stagger angle is 45°.

Abstract:
In order to improve the precision of the drive system for giant hydraulic press, the friction compensation schemes based on the modified LuGre model are proposed. The dynamic model of the drive system is established, and the friction characteristics of hydraulic press are described based on the modified LuGre model. The PID controller, two-DOF (degree-of-freedom) PID controller and the fuzzy adaptive controller are designed respectively; thereby the validity of the compensation schemes is validated via control system analysis. The simulation results show that the fuzzy control compensation scheme occupies the first place, the two-DOF strategy comes second and the conventional PID methodology is the worst. Adopting the fuzzy adaptive controller based on the compensation strategy, the mean square tracking error (MSE) is decreased to 5.903×10-4, comparing with that of traditional PID control method, 5.771×10-3. Hence, the presented compensation scheme can restraint the negative influence of friction and promote the dynamic performance of the drive system evidently.

2015, 34(2): 212-215. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0211
Abstract:
Due to the influence of Poisson Effect existing in the vibrations of ultrasonic horn along the vertical axis, the horizontal vibrations in the radial directions of horn is caused. Usually in the process of traditional acoustic horn design, the horizontal vibrations are ignored, which results the value of the calculated frequency in theory higher than the actual resonant frequency. In order to make the designed theoretical frequency consistent with actual resonant frequency, the paper studied the cylindrical rod and the simple stepped ultrasonic horn respectably. In the common radius ratios range, the formulas about frequency correction were obtained. Applying the correction coefficient in the design process, the requirements of system design and usage are satisfied, and the energy loss in the energy conservation process is efficiently reduced.

Abstract:
The ultrasonic echo signal reflecting the debris lubricant contains a lots of information. In order to extract the ultrasonic echo signal submerged in strong background noise, a new de-noising method of ultrasonic scattering echo signal for oil wear debris based on the Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) is proposed. Firstly, for the DT-CWT having the approximate shift-invariant and effective de-noising, the ultrasonic scattering echo signals are decomposed by using the DT-CWT, and then the threshold processing of high frequency coefficients is performed, finally, the signal is reconstructed by using the DT-CWT. The simulated and experimental results show that the SNR of the de-noising signal is higher, the RMSE is smaller, the NCC is higher, and the maximum amplitude difference (MAD) is smaller at a decomposition order of six. The DT-CWT de-noising method by using a hard threshold is more obvious than the traditional wavelet de-noising method.

Based on the function of the acceleration error and the displacement error of the cam, the profile curve is improved by correcting the fitting error of the type-acceleration curve, which is the second derivative of the profile curve.

Abstract:
As a traditional method to solve the problem of modeling and simulation for multi-domain system, Co-simulation has some shortcomings. For example, the interfaces between software may be complex; it may sometimes unstable to cause the fixed step communication; and system must be broken down into different software leads that models may be difficult to use. In this paper, a hierarchical library that contains variable topology models for multi-axis vehicle is developed based on the Modelica, which is a multi-domain united modeling and simulation technology. Also, the method for building this library is introduced. Then, using the components from this library, a whole-vehicle virtual prototype for a 5-axis crane is modeled. Several applications are carried out on this proto-type, including some full-bridge steering cases and a rapid development of 9-axis vehicle system. The result shows that the multi-domain united method is feasible for multi-axis vehicle design and validation, and has its own benefit of simple architecture and highly reusability.

Abstract:
An approach to obtain the effect of the initial defects on the thermal expansion coefficients of plain weave C/SiC composite was proposed based on the finite element computational micromechanics (FECM). Firstly, the initial defects were classified by using SEM observations and furthermore the measurements and statistics were carried out according to the SEM images. Then, the entire composite and fiber bundle representative volume element(RVE)models with initial defects were established according to the above-mentioned results. Finally, the thermal expansion coefficients of entire composite RVE models with initial defects were predicted by using the FECM method. The quantitative mapping relationships between all kinds of initial defects and the thermal expansion coefficients of entire composite were obtained based on the above-mentioned method.

Abstract:
In order to perfect the failure mechanism of casing under non-uniform loading, the collapsing experiments were performed for C110 casing under non-uniform loading. The non-uniform loading on C110 casing was applied with the sophisticated pressure testing machine and the radial displacements of casings have been obtained under different loading. Simultaneously, the strain of C110 casing was measured in the process of collapsing testing by gluing strain-gauge on the outer surface of C110 casing. Some experimental conclusions such as the yield load casing, instability load of casing, deformation law and failure mechanism have been obtained under non-uniform loading.

Abstract:
In microwave Hall thruster, for depressing vibration gas was ionized to form surface wave plasma near the end plate of the annular Hall effect channel by use of microwave energy which was coupled in through wind coupling generation and stabilization of surface wave plasma is important for thruster performance, this made it necessary to perform plasma experiment first. At different microwave output power, taking argon and krypton separately as propellant, making the end plate of quartz and ceramic separately, through changing the mass flow rate, the gas discharge pattern and property was obtained. According to Langmuir probe diagnosing method, the surface wave plasma was also diagnosed. The experiment results demonstrated that plasma was much easier to generate with a quartz plate compared with the ceramic one. The plasma density was much higher than the critical value, which showed that the experimented plasma was belong to the scope of surface wave plasma.

Abstract:
The nose landing gear of a certain aircraft had some problems of deformation and clamping stagnation during extension-retraction tests. This study was carried out to analyze these problems. First, the load of the entire mechanism was analyzed combining the experimenting phenomenon. It was concluded that the gaps between key load transmission components lead to these mechanism faults. On the basis of theoretical analysis, the multi-rigid body dynamic analysis using ADAMS and the finite element analysis of the main members bearing load were carried out. The possible range of gap value was analyzed according to errors in manufacturing and assembly. And then, the load analysis of the landing gear mechanism was done in the case that the kinematic pair had gaps and the landing gear was stuck. From the analysis, the following results are concluded. The kinematic pair gaps caused by assembly errors render 8.31 mm long deformation on the primary load-transfer component, the rear bar. The maximum stress is up to 1 220 MPa, which has exceeded the yield limit and causes the mechanism deformation and the change of the load transmission route. It's the reason why the mechanism is stuck.
