2015, 34(9): 1322-1327. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0903
Abstract:
The impact overloads when boring with Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) may cause severe cutterhead vibration, which will further affect the efficiency of tunneling. Due to the non-feasibility of physical experiments and complexity of theoretical analysis, computer simulation is an ideal way to study the vibration characteristics of TBM mainframe. Therefore, a TBM mainframe model was built in this paper based on the multi-body system dynamics simulation platform ADAMS, and the TBM tunneling process was simulated. The simulation results show that the radial amplitude of cutterhead is at the 10-1 mm order, which is one order less than the axial amplitude; The radial force between the center part and other parts is at the 102 kN order, which is one order less than the axial force, and the summit frequency of this two forces is different; The radial force between the shield and mainbeam is at the 104 kN order, which is also one order less than the axial force, but the axial force between center part and other parts of cutterhead and the axial force between the shield and mainbeam is quite the same.

2015, 34(9): 1328-1332. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0904
Abstract:
In order to simulate and analyze the fracture behavior of a single particle under linear movement, numerical simulation was carried out with the finite element analysis software, depending on the operation status of a jaw crusher. 3D models were built with the brittle cracking material, and the Rankine criterion was used to detect the cracking and verify the feasibility of numerical simulation for dynamic crushing behavior. Simulation results show that the single particle crushing under uniaxial compression can be divided into gradual cracking phase and catastrophic fracture phase. The gradual cracking phase includes compaction and micro-crack extension; the maximum counterforce and stress of the jaw crusher increase with increasing tooth pitch, while other parameters of the shape of the jaw crusher stay invariant. The maximum linear stress appears in the addendum arc and tooth root; the mineral crushing effect tends to be better as the tooth pitch increases. The relationships among tooth pitch, performance parameters and optimal tooth pitch under the single factor condition are obtained with the grey theory.

2015, 34(9): 1360-1364. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0910
Abstract:
According to the critical-depth-of-cut model of brittle materials and combined with Hertz elastic contact theory and kinematics equations, we analyze the removal mechanisms of ultrasonic abrasive impacts theoretically. The Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) Method was used to study the mechanisms of crack formation and extension of brittle material under the impact of the abrasive. The results indicate that the critical-depth-of-cut of optical quartz glass is 0.013 μm; if the machining clearance is set to a specific range and the W7 SiC abrasive particle is used, the high-quality surface of optical quartz glass can be polished under the ductile mode when the amplitude of ultrasonic tool is less than 23.87 μm, and the high-efficiency grinding can be realized under the brittle fracture mode when the amplitude is more than 23.87 μm. The simulation results show that the brittle materials performs elastic-plastic deformation in the process of abrasive impacts, and the crack begin to form in the interior of the material when the critical fracture stress is achieved.

2015, 34(9): 1370-1374. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0912
Abstract:
An equal-error step tool path generation algorithm is proposed for the uniformity of the tool path errors in the triangular mesh surface machining. The algorithm combines the linear error and rotational error generated from the movement of tool on the mesh surface as the design tolerance. Under the condition of satisfying the required accuracy, the position of the cutter contact points in each of the tool path is optimized with controlling the design tolerance, and the corresponding cutter location points are generated. It ensures the consistency of the boundary by making full use of the characteristics of the boundary of the mesh surface when generating a tool path of the complete triangular mesh surface. The experimental results indicate that the tool path generated from this algorithm maintains a good border consistency, and significantly improves the machining precision and quality uniformity.

2015, 34(9): 1381-1387. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0914
Abstract:
This paper establishes a discrete mathematical model of the radial magnetic bearing with eight magnetic poles which can decouple the effect of cross coupling. First of all, a conventional digital PID controller is designed based on the discrete model to make the system stable. Considering the actual AMB is a kind of uncertain system, and the poor control performance of the conventional PID controller used in the system which is nonlinear or include uncertain structural parameters and controlled objects influenced by external factors greatly. In this paper, the fuzzy PID controller is designed which achieves the online adjusting function for PID parameters. In view of basic variable sets of the fuzzy PID stay the same which conduct the lower control precision in the practical control process of AMB, this paper designs an improved fuzzy PID controller based on the thought of variable universe of proportion scaling. The simulation results show that the improved fuzzy PID control has better control performance compared with the other control methods.

Pan Jinchuan, Liu Shenglan, Zhang Liyan, Wang Xiaofei
2015, 34(9): 1388-1393. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0915
Abstract:
To measure the monolithic impeller on coordinate measuring machine(CMM), the dividing apparatus is needed for sampling individual blades. The installation eccentricity between the monolithic impeller and the dividing apparatus will cause eccentric motion, which affects the contact between the measuring head and the blades. Even worse, it reduces the detection accuracy of blade surface. Two measurement strategies are proposed, namely independent coordinate measurement and unified coordinate measurement. The former re-establishes the coordinate system after each dividing operation to lower the eccentricity-induced error. The latter establishes coordinate system only once, while achieves error compensation with calculating the eccentricity between the monolithic impeller and the dividing apparatus.

2015, 34(9): 1394-1398. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0916
Abstract:
Real-time collision detection is a bottleneck in a complicated assembly model, the collision detection precision based on face-representation can't satisfy the requirement in a level-assembly model, and the time consuming of solid model can't be accepted if using the global interference check. In order to solve the problem, a new distributed collision detection method was presented. Firstly, Master CAD finishes the collision detection of bounding box with AABB algorithm; based on the load-balance calculation principal, distributes component couples which need accurate collision detection and sends them to Slave CAD. Secondly, Slaves calculate component couples' collision detection and sent the interference results to Master CAD again. The results of simulation showed that the algorithm could improve highly real-time interference check in addition to meet the accuracy requirement.

Cao Jian
2015, 34(9): 1410-1414. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0919
Abstract:
To decrease the interaction between tension zones and prevent the tension fluctuation propagating downstream, we propose a decoupling strategy based on linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC). First, the dynamic mechanism model of a multi-stage tension system was built. Then, the dynamic interaction between the channels of the multi-stage tension system was treated as disturbances which were estimated with a linear extended state observer (LESO), and the estimated states were employed for state feedback control and compensation. After that we designed the LADRC controller cascading with static decoupling, which decoupled the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system into a parallel single-input single-output subsystem. The simulation results show that the LADRC controller designed is able to effectively prevent the propagation of tension fluctuation downstream and has better disturbance rejection performance than that of classical decentralized proportional integration differentiation (PID) controller no matter whether for model mismatch or for external disturbance.

Abstract:
In optimization of body-in-white, a large amount of panels will increase the modal sensitivity analysis objects and computation. So with the modal strain energy analysis, the optimizing efficiency will be increased. Based on the finite element analysis model verified with modal experiment, the large deformation parts of body-in-white and the sensitivities of these parts are defined in modal strain energy analysis and sensitivity analysis. According to the sensitivity analysis results, we improve the first modal frequency with adjusting the thickness of the parts. The final results show that after optimization, the first modal frequency is raised from 15.75 Hz to 16.50 Hz, without weight increase of the body-in-white.

2015, 34(9): 1424-1426. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0922
Abstract:
A numerical model for investigating the delamination behavior of laminated composite under fatigue loading is proposed. The model mainly includes three parts, i.e. the constitutive model, a damage criterion and a fatigue evolution law. The propagation of delamination is described with defining the evolution of the damage parameter of the cohesive element. An User Material Subroutine (UMAT) with commercialized finite element software ABAQUS is implemented in the model. Through a cycle jump strategy and an envelope loading curve method, the fatigue delamination propagation of a Double Cantilever Beam(DCB) test is simulated. The numerical simulation data is in a good agreement with the experiment data, and it is verified that the model is capable of simulating fatigue delamination behavior of laminated composite.

2015, 34(9): 1427-1430. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0923
Abstract:
An assumption of headrest-airbag is putted forward in this paper: an airbag is added in the interior of front seat headrest, the airbag opens and expands instantly to form the airbag cushion between rear occupant's head and seat in the collision, absorbs impact energy and avoids the occurrence of the secondary collision between head and frontal headrest or seatback, thereby reducing occupant injury. Based on the geometry and feature of one car model, the rear occupant restraint system model is set up with MADYMO simulation software, and the restraint model is verified with the real test. The results of computer simulation show that compared with normal front seat, HIC15(Head Injury Criterion) and neck occipital moment of rear occupant drops by 66.4% and 63.9% respectively, but T3MS (Thorax 3ms Resultant Acceralation) only increases by 5.5% when the headrest-airbag is used.

Abstract:
Because of poor speed stability and complex operation of a continuous multi-brake system, we study the joint brake matching control that uses engine brake, exhaust brake and eddy current retarder.

2015, 34(9): 1438-1441. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0925
Abstract:
Considering that the vehicle state error derives from the different initial states and parameters between the real vehicle and the reference model, we propose the optimal control for the active four-wheel steering vehicle with only the initial state difference, which can make the 4WS to follow the reference model very quickly. And for the 4WS with the two differences, optimal control is adopted to design the sliding mode in order to eliminate the state error caused by the initial state difference. On this basis, the fractional sliding mode control is designed to eliminate the state error caused by the parameter difference. And the simulation results show that the fractional sliding mode control can make the 4WS to track the reference model very quickly, although the parameters between the 4WS model and the reference model are mismatched. It is proved that the fractional sliding mode control is effective.

2015, 34(9): 1442-1445. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0926
Abstract:
Regarding the real axles of a passage car as the research object, based on the result of static analysis, we simulate the fatigue life of the rear axles with means of two prediction methods: the nominal stress method and local stress-strain method. The rear axles are acquired with two heat treatments. With the standards of the fatigue bench test results, the calculation results and testing results are compared to find which method' result is closer to the actual conditions of bench tests. The compared result shows that the fatigue analysis results of the real axle structure with the stress-strain method is more accurate when the working stress of low cycle fatigue approaches or exceeds the material's yield strength.

2015, 34(9): 1451-1454. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2015.0928
Abstract:
On the basis of the crack tip blunting theory and fracture criterion of notched elements, when the blunted crack tip radius ρ reaches the critical blunted crack tip radius value ρc, the cracked element can be considered as notched element. A simple model for predicting plane-strain fracture toughness KIc for ductile materials was obtained on the assumption that there was a direct relationship between ρc and the deformation capacity of the hypothetical material element located ahead of the notch tip, i.e., elongation δ. The analysis on the model show that the value of KIc is apparently related to the elasticity modulus and the elongation. Furthermore, for a given material KIc is associated exclusively with δ. The mechanical properties test, including smooth tensile test and KIc test for 2124 aluminum alloy were carried out with specimens with different heat treatment state and different orientation directions. The experimental results show a significant linear correlation between KIc and δ, which verify the correctness of the present model.

Abstract:
Aiming at the time that specimen with high temperature is in contact with bars with low temperature in different temperature environments, we use ABAQUS software to simulate heat conduction and temperature distribution between specimen and bars at different contact times. Then, Laser velocimetry is used to measure achievable contact time in accordance to SHPB experiment at high temperatures and high strain rates with pneumatically synchronous mechanism. The reliability of pneumatically synchronous mechanism and the validity of experimental test are analyzed. As the results show, the temperature of specimen will drop more than 10% if the contact time exceeds about 200 ms. When the initial temperature of specimen is 1 200 ℃, the core temperature of bars ends will exceeds about 250 ℃ which is the allowable temperature of metal bar if the contact time exceeds 500 ms. By means of fine-tuning, pneumatically synchronous mechanism in the present SHPB experiment at high temperatures and high strain rates introduced in order to achieve a cold-hot contact time of 10 ms. The present test method of SHPB experiment at high temperatures and high strain rates is credible verified via testing.

A 3D model for the roll-bending forming is proposed, and ABAQUS software is employed to analyze the influence of the main roller size, clamp force and friction coefficient on the curvature radius of each section in the longitude direction. The results show that the bigger main roller size is, the better the uniform distributed curvature. The reasonable clamp force and the range of friction coefficient of this Z shaped profile were given in this paper. With adopting these optiumu parameters obtained with FE simulation, the roll-bending experiments were carried out, and the the shape accuracy for final formed profile was improved.

Abstract:
According to the characteristics of reflector antenna design and its working conditions, a new discrete variable optimization model under multiple load conditions is developed. In the model, the gain of antenna is introduced to consider the relationship between electrical performance and deformation of antenna structures. In this model, the antenna weight or gain is adopted as the objective functions and the weighted compliance is used as the constraints. The proposed method is applied to the structural optimization design of a reflector antenna. The results show that traditional optimization methods can improve the stiffness of antenna structure, but can not increase their electrical performance. While in the allowed limitations, both the requirements for the electrical performance and structural stiffness of antenna structure can be satisfied with the proposed coupling optimization design.
