Abstract:
Tunnel Boring Machine(TBM)is a large equipment used in tunnelling construction. In order to analyse the influence of main factors such as geological parameters and operating condition to boring power, the mechanical characteristics of driving process are studied. The thrust and the cutter disc drive torque are obtained by main factors affecting the tunneling process. Based on the relationship between input energy consumption and load, the approximate estimation model of boring power is established. Moreover, engineering data is used to identify the coefficients of the model, which depend on specific conditions. Furthermore, the applicability and effectiveness of the model are discussed with independent data which is not used in modeling process. The comparison between measured and predicted values shows that the proposed model can reflect the influences of the key factors such as operating status, geological parameters.

Abstract:
The paper was on the background of the textured cylinder clearance seal. The average Reynolds equation was used in the micro-texture flow field for mathematical modeling. The finite difference method was used to discrete the average Reynolds equation. There are six morphologies such as hemispherical surface, cylinder, paraboloid, six-sided cube and micro-textured simulated for getting optimal micro-textured appearance. The effects of the surface roughness, surface orientation parameters and area occupancy rate on the surface friction coefficient are explored. The results show that six different morphologies can produce hydrodynamic lubrication on the surface of the piston. The hydrodynamic lubrication performance of the cylinder is the best. The rough surface asperities can form dynamic pressure bearing force during exercise. The cylindrical surface friction coefficient increases with the roughness.

2017, 36(12): 1838-1842. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.1207
Abstract:
Based on the Dirlik method for vibration fatigue life study in the frequency domain, the finite element model is established and modified according to the model test, and the finite element method is used to predict the fatigue life of the spot welded structure. The effects of different PSD spectral types on the fatigue life under the random vibration environment are analyzed. The analysis results show that with increasing PSD amplitude under the same vibration level in the first natural frequency domain, the fatigue life under random vibration decreases. Under the influence of white noise acceleration power spectrum and when the PSD amplitude was kept unchanged; with increasing bandwidth, the fatigue life under the random vibration environment decreases. The influence of random vibration on the fatigue life in the region of non-resonance frequency between the first and second modal frequencies should not be neglected.

2017, 36(12): 1852-1858. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.1209
Abstract:
Crankshaft drive structure in traditional high-power three cylinder drilling pump uses a pair of meshing herringbone gears to transmit power. As the gear is located at one end of the crankshaft, the stresses and deformation of the crankshaft are the biggest when the other end of the two cranks are stressed. In order to alleviate this situation, the crankshaft drive structure of some high-power drilling pump uses two pairs of meshing helical gears to transmit power. For this kind of crankshaft drive structure, the formulas of two gears meshing force, bearing reaction force and torque and bending moment at the cross-section mutation are deduced. The strength of the crankshaft was checked, and the strength analysis via finite element method was done by using workbench ANSYS. The analysis results show that the maximum stresses on the most dangerous section on both sides of the middle crank of the transmission crankshaft with double side helical gear are reduced by 21.3% and 11.5% respectively comparing with the traditional transmission crankshaft. And the maximum deformation is of 45.3% lower than that of the traditional transmission crankshaft, the strength and stiffness are improved. At the same time, it can improve the strength of crankshaft by appropriately increasing the fillet value of the crankshaft.

2017, 36(12): 1866-1872. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.1211
Abstract:
The typical 3-RRR planar parallel mechanism has two translations and one rotation and thus is a kind of extensively applied plane location and transfer equipment. Firstly, the coupling degree of the parallel mechanism is calculated to be k=1. Then, based on the structural coupling reduction principle, this paper designs its coupling reduction mechanism with zero coupling degree, which not only leads to its easy analytic direct kinematic solution but also makes the input and output of the moving platform partially motion-decoupling. Moreover, the workspace and singularity of this coupling reduction mechanism are also performed. Finally, the comprehensive comparison of two types of the coupling reduction mechanism shows that the main performance of the structural coupling reduction mechanism is better than that of the original mechanism, indicating that the structural coupling reduction mechanism is an effective method for optimizing the topological structure.

2017, 36(12): 1873-1876. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.1212
Abstract:
A new analysis method combined order tracking with Hilbert envelope demodulation is proposed to fault diagnosis of the wind turbine transmission chain, which is non-stationary and demodulating. Using the order tracking, sampling vibration signals in time domain are resampled in the angle domain, so that the non-stationary signal in time domain was converted into stationary signal in angle domain. It can overcome effectively the "frequency smear" phenomenon, which cannot be solved with the traditional frequency spectrum method. Then, the Hilbert envelope demodulation was used to demodulate the low frequency fault signal from the high frequency carrier signal.

Abstract:
In the view of the problems, the poor quality of machined surface and inconsistent machining precision of left and right tooth surfaces, the design and computation method of slicing cutter with equal rake angle is proposed. On beginning, the conjugate surface of gear surface is obtained based on the principle of conjugate surface according to the geometric feature of machining gear tooth surface and the motion relationship in slicing. Meanwhile, the sphere surface is chosen as the original rake face. To achieve the requirement of theoretical error-free edge profile, the intersecting curve of conjugate surface and original design rake face is calculated as the cutting edge. On the basis of those works, the original rake face is redesigned by constructing a new rake face along the cutting edge complying with the principle of consistent rake angle. With this method, a series of cutting edges with theoretical error-free edge profile are obtained by means of the simulative cutter sharpening, which are used for constructing the flank face. As a result, the complete slicing cutter with equal rake angle is obtained. The calculation case is performed to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the above developed method. At last, the conclusion and discussion are provided.

According to the effects of each factor on the results, the optimal geometry parameter combination was determined. On this basis, the geometric parameters of cemented carbide inserts are provided by engineering practice and the results shows that the proposed method is valid and feasible.

Abstract:
As the compressed natural gas (CNG) engine moves toward the direction of high speed and high power development, the piston pin hole stress is greater, causing fatigue crack on the piston pin hole. Therefore, we design the new structure of an arc surface bush piston pin hole. Such piston bush is derived from the movement analysis and assembly conditions analysis. The stress distribution state of the piston under different load conditions of mechanical load and thermo-mechanical coupling load were analyzed with the finite element method. Simulation results show that the Mises stress of the new structured piston bush decreases by 25.3%, that the Mises stress of the new structured piston pin hole decreases by 27.9% compared with the original structured piston and that its contact stress decreases by 35.4% under the mechanical load. The analysis results on the piston stress state of the thermo-mechanical coupled load are similar to those on the mechanical load. In addition, the piston's stress state has been greatly improved. The stress distribution of the piston pin hole with an arc surface bush is more homogeneous; it is easier to form oil film on the arc surface bush. Therefore, the new structure of the piston pin hole with arc surface bush has strong capability of decreasing stress and increasing the lubricity and anti-wear ability.

Abstract:
On the basis of the seal coating elastic modulus experiemnts, the model for seal coating friction via finite element method was established, and the analysis on the stress distribution of AL/BN abradable sealing coating used in aeroengine was carried out. The influence of the friction coefficient, coating thickness and bonding layer thickness on the coating/bonding layer/substrate system was analyzed. The results show that under the tangential load, the peak stress on the coating surface, the interface of coating and bonding layer and the interface of bonding layer and substrate increase with the increasing of friction coefficient. The Peak stress on the coating surface and two interfaces decrease with the increasing of coating thickness. But when the thickness of coating reaches a certain degree, to increase the thickness of coating can't effectively decrease the peak stress. The thickness of bonding layer has small effect on the variation of stress on the coating surface and the interface of coating and bonding layer. But with the decreasing of bonding layer thickness, the stress peak on the interface of bonding layer and substrate increase.

2017, 36(12): 1964-1969. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.1225
Abstract:
Since the aircraft engine casing is a non-continuous structure, which will affect the aircraft engine casing vibration characteristics. In the study of the vibration characteristics of the conventional stator box components, the bolt connection structure of the casing installation side is often neglected, resulting in a large deviation in the vibration simulation results. In this study, the finite element analysis model of bolted connection structure is established based on the finite element method. The influence of bolt preload, bolt distribution and bolt number on the bending stiffness and vibration frequency of the casing is studied. The results show that, due to the presence of the bolted connection structure, the structural rigidity of the casing is reduced. The bolt pretension, distribution and the number of bolts are the main factors that affect the bending stiffness and vibration frequency of an aero-engine case.

2017, 36(12): 1970-1974. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.1226
Abstract:
Z-layout pipelines used to connect two parallel pipe-joints numerously exist in aircraft hydraulic piping system. Different layout pipelines have different modal characteristics. The design of Z-layout pipelines is determined by two parameters:the location of the elbow and the radius of curvature. The effects of these two design parameters on the modal characteristics of pipeline are studied by experiments and the numerical simulations. Results indicate that the first mode appears in the direction perpendicular to the layout plane and the second mode appears in the layout plane of the Z-layout pipelines. The first natural frequency increases while the second natural frequency decreases when the location of the elbow changes from one end to the mid-point between the two joints and the natural frequencies increase with the increasing of radius of the elbow.
