2017, 36(1): 23-28. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0103
Abstract:
In order to solve the co-existence problem of both various fault modes and causes in the electromechanical systems, an integrated fault diagnosis method based on improved FMEA (Failure mode and effect analysis) and failure propagation model is proposed. Firstly, by analyzing the failure modes and failure causes, the contribution rate of each failure cause to the corresponding failure mode can be obtained. And then, the failure propagation model is applied to deduce the fault diagnosis reasoning and to calculate the occurrence probability of each failure mode. Furthermore, the value of risk extended number (REN) is set to[0, 1] and used to measure the severity and detectability of the failures. Finally, the key components of electromechanical systems and their failure modes are obtained by comparing the occurrence probability and REN value. The proposed method provides a theoretical approach for making maintenance policy. Case study of a leveling system is illustrated, the results show that the proposed approach can be used to guide the reliability analysis and maintenance decision-making for electromechanical system.

2017, 36(1): 34-38. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0105
Abstract:
In order to study the impact of combustion chamber shape on the alcohol ether fuel engine emissions, the combustion process and emission characteristics of engines with five different combustion chamber shapes were numerically simulated by the software AVL_Fire. The results show that, the effects of combustion chamber shape on the turbulent kinetic energy mainly appear near the TDC. The NO formation area is large and it spreads basically throughout the entire combustion chamber. But Soot is mainly distributed near the high temperature oil beam and the pit wall. Straight chamber A and the open chamber B have lower soot emission but higher NO emission.The narrow caliber and flat base chamber D discharges less NO but more soot. The NO and soot emissions of the narrow caliber and sharp base chamber E are both lower, which means the emission characteristics is better.

2017, 36(1): 46-51. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0107
Abstract:
According to the wide-band, nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics of the mechanical equipment vibration signals, a self-adaptive noise reduction method based on singular value energy standard spectrum was proposed. Firstly, the embedding dimension of phase space reconstruction was calculated by using the method of the average divergence degree of nearest neighbors, and then the phase space reconstruction matrix was decomposed with singular value decomposition. Finally the concept of singular value energy standard spectrum was put forward, and reconstruction order number was determined according to the inflexion position in order to refactor useful component parts, so as to realize the signal noise reduction. The analysis results of numerical simulation and cylinder head vibration signal showed that the proposed method can not only eliminate noise in the signal effectively but also retain the original signal characteristic effectively and enhance the signal-to-noise ratio.

2017, 36(1): 52-57. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0108
Abstract:
Owing to the nonlinearity and time-variation in the direct drive pump-controlled pressure servo system, a conventional PID control method causes poor adaptability, great pressure fluctuation and poor tracking control performances. Based on the influence of the PID parameters on the response characteristic of the pressure servo system, the adaptive fuzzy PID controller that adjusts the PID parameters adaptively based on the error and change in error was designed. The simulations and experiments on the conventional PID control and the adaptive fuzzy PID control of the direct drive pump-controlled pressure servo system were carried out. The results show that the adaptive fuzzy PID controller can greatly improve the performance of the conventional PID control method and has fast response, less pressure fluctuation, small sluggishness and overshooting. The dynamic performance of the pressure servo system and its control accuracy are improved.

Abstract:
The machining method of face milling the tooth profile of cycloidal gear with face mill instead of ball end mill is proposed. A method is proposed to solve local interference and collision interference of face mill by using the tool rake angle and side inclination angle. The calculation formula of the tool rake angle for machining cycloidal gear without interference is obtained. The face milling process of the cycloidal gear under high speed is realized by using five axis linkage vertical machining center and the cycloid gear prototype after finishing is obtained. The machining accuracy and surface roughness of tooth profile of the cycloid gear after finishing are measured and analyzed. The maximum deviation of the cycloid gear prototype is 0.051 mm, the smallest deviation is -0.085 0 mm. The average surface roughness Ra of the tooth profile is 0.504 6 μm. The results show that the method of face milling cycloidal gear under high speed can achieve the machining accuracy of the grinding cycloidal gear so as to realize the goal of "milling instead of grinding" in machining cycloidal gear.

Abstract:
Planar mechanisms are widely applied to many machines, but the impact of their long transmission distance on the kinematic accuracy can not be ignored. The influence factors of reliability in precision of mechanism kinematic were divided into non-cumulative factors and cumulative factors.

The crank slider mechanism was analyzed as an example, which is widely used in engineering. The results showed that the cumulative factors is the main factor which affects the kinematic accuracy of mechanisms, the mechanical reliability falls sharply when cumulative factors accumulate to a certain extent and the rated life of various institutions is calculated under the rated speed.

2017, 36(1): 114-118. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0117
Abstract:
In engineering, the complex car body surfaces cannot be described by using one single surface; thus the continuity conditions of the cubic Q-Bézier surfaces with multiple shape parameters were investigated. A car body design method based on cubic Q-Bézier surfaces with multiple shape parameters is proposed in this paper, which describes the car body that has a group of cubic Q-Bézier surfaces with multiple shape parameters in the design process. The group of cubic Q-Bézier surfaces are created and blended continuously; the surfaces' boundary position and shape parameters were modified efficiently, thus obtaining the new car body design solutions. This design method, based on the principle of cubic Q-Bézier surfaces that generates and blends multiple shape parameters, can quickly edit the surfaces by adjusting the boundary curve and obtain many design solutions, being widely applied to modern industrial design.

2017, 36(1): 119-126. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0118
Abstract:
A general expression is derived to describe heat generation in friction stir welding (FSW) by a tool with cylindrical pin. Three heat source models are obtained by calculating frictional stresses in the expression according to sling friction, sticking friction and the combination of them, respectively. In ABAQUS, these heat source models are implemented in subroutines to apply loads, and a model for simulating the temperature field of FSW of 12.7 mm-thick 6061-T6 aluminum alloy plate is established. The numerical analysis results are compared with the experimental. It is found that heat source models based on sticking friction and combination of sliding and sticking friction can well predict temperature field and nearly produces the same results for steady state of welding, while the model based on sliding friction gives higher temperature than the experimental. By varying relevant parameters of the model, influences of boundary conditions, preheating time, welding parameters and structural parameters of the tool are systematically studied. A number of rules and indices are obtained.

2017, 36(1): 127-138. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0119
Abstract:
The investigation on dynamical behavior of an aero-engine rotor system with loose inner ring was performed. The relative motion between the inner ring and the lock nut was proposed according to the geometrical and structural features of a loose inner ring, based on which the calculation method of the sliding frictional load on the lock nut was presented. This project set up a model for a vertically assembled rotor with loose inner ring, which accounted for both the stiffness nonlinearity and the damp nonlinearity introduced by the clearance and the frictional load on the lock nut respectively. The dynamical equation was solved numerically, which gave the dynamical responses of the rotor system, like wave plot, frequency spectrum and locus of the disk center, etc. The influences of the structural parameters on the rotor, say, the unbalance mass of the rotor, the clearance between the inner ring and the journal, the tightening torque of the lock nut, were identified quantitatively. It turned out that the synchronous forward whirl was promoted and the instability of the rotor was possibly to occur due to the internal friction dependent on relative sliding motion and proportional to the tightening torque; a rotor instability was observed with frequencies, say, the nature frequency, the rotating frequency, and the difference between them; the boundary of rotor instability was defined in terms of parameters, say, unbalance mass, the clearance between the inner ring and the journal and the tightening torque; an appropriate parameter condition was of significance to avoid the rotor instability.

2017, 36(1): 139-146. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0120
Abstract:
Among the vibration tests of spacecraft, the acceleration is usually the only specification in traditional test method which generally results in overtesting problem. The force limiting can solve this problem well by dual control of the acceleration and force. Force specification is the foundation of the force limited vibration test. The principle of complex two-degree-of-freedom method and its process to get the force specification are derived in detail. A test verification is designed, and the input acceleration decreased about 19.5 dB and 17.2 dB at the first resonance frequencies of the test item. The test result demonstrates that the specification of force limited test is closer to the reality than traditional acceleration test.

2017, 36(1): 147-151. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0121
Abstract:
The dynamics simulation of a tethered system located on elliptical orbit is studied by using the so-called "cone" dynamics models. The tethered system is a structure that has a huge area of major satellite and minor satellite connected through some long ropes. On the strength of the huge area of the major satellite and the super length of the ropes, the quality rods and the little cylinder connected with force are built respectively. Based on the dynamic model, the dynamics simulation of the major satellite and the whole tethered system is discussed. The discussion results show that the attitude control of the tethered system on elliptic orbit is stable and that the major satellite extends normally. The tethered system eliminates the need to use force in the process of setting because the rope stretched in its range.

2017, 36(1): 152-160. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0122
Abstract:
As the aero-engine's baseline is difficult to get, Support Vector Regression (SVR) is used with data from monitoring systems of manufacturers and Quick Access Recorder (QAR) to do baseline mining analysis, providing a variety of ways to get baseline and the results turned out to have a good reliability. SVR is fast and precise in dealing with nonlinear regression analysis. Single parameter regression and multi-parameter regression can be processed by using SVR. The conclusion can be drawn from analysis of calculation results that multi-parameter regression of SVR has a lot of advantages such as small deviation and high accuracy compared with linear regression and single parameter regression of SVR. As a result, the accuracy of the aero-engine's monitoring can be improved effectively.
