Abstract:
In order to improve the accuracy of a radial tire's temperature field analysis, we propose a new modelling method with the external flow field considered. To study the PCR tire 205/55R16, the finite element model of the radial tire and its stable temperature field is established by using the ABAQUS and ANSYS software. The thermal parameters and the mechanical parameters of the radial tire's materials are tested with the RPA2000 instrument and the hot-disk instrument. The mechanical model of the tire is simulated with the ABAQUS software, and the flow field analysis is simulated with the ANSYS software. The convection, heat radiation, heat conduction of the radial tire are analysed with the ABAQUS software. The temperature of the radial tire is experimentally tested to prove that the simulation model is reliable. The test results show that compared with the existing methods, the new radial tire temperature field simulation method, which is helpful to study the performance of a radial tire is more accurate and reliable.

2017, 36(7): 991-997. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0702
Abstract:
In order to solve the problem that the gearbox of a gear system causes too large vibration and noise during operation, a magneto-rheological damper for suppressing its vibration and noise was proposed. A gear vibration and noise reduction bench was built to experimentally evaluate the damping characteristics of the magneto-rheological damper by monitoring the vibration of the bearing block, rotor and sound pressure level of the gear system. The evaluation results show that the damper can effectively reduce the gear system's vibration and noise. The root mean squares (RMS) values of the vibration acceleration and velocity of the bearing block are reduced by 50%. The peak-to-peak value of rotor vibration is reduced by 55%. The sound pressure level is reduced by 8 dB. The damper can simultaneously inhibit each frequency component of the gear system's vibration and noise in a wide frequency range. The experiments performed in the paper verify that the damper can effectively guarantee the smooth operation of the gear transmission system with good vibration reduction characteristics over a range of operating speeds.

2017, 36(7): 998-1004. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0703
Abstract:
According to the structure of Delta parallel mechanism, a novel spatial parallel mechanism with actuation redundancy that can perform three-dimensional translations was presented. The degree of freedom of the parallel mechanism was calculated based on the screw theory and the inverse position solution was analyzed. Then the Jacobian matrix of the parallel mechanism with redundant actuation was deduced by inverse position kinematics and differential method. The singularity loci of the Delta parallel mechanism was analyzed and two novel singularity loci were presented by Gosselin singularity analysis and the singularity loci of Delta mechanism and redundantly actuated parallel mechanism was compared. In order to verify the result of theoretical analysis, the concept of manipulability was introduced to evaluate the kinematical performance of the two kind of parallel mechanism based on numerical analysis method. The results of theoretical analysis indicate that the redundant actuation parallel mechanism can realize the same function as the Delta mechanism, but the second type of singularity loci are significantly less than those of Delta mechanism. The results of numerical simulation show that the suitable workspace and mechanism parameters can reduce the singularity loci of parallel mechanism and the correctness of the theoretical analysis results are verified.

2017, 36(7): 1005-1010. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0704
Abstract:
The flexibilities of base and joint are described by a linear extension-compression spring and a linear torsion spring, respectively. The dynamic model of flexible-base and flexible-joint space manipulator with an attitude-controlled base is established with the linear momentum conservation principle and the second Lagrange modeling method. The flexibility compensating concept is integrated into the singular perturbation technique, and then the slow subsystem which describes the rigid motion of the system and the fast subsystem which describes the base and the flexible motions of joints are derived. Moreover, an improved singular perturbation control scheme consisting of a slow control for coordinated motion and an optimal control based on a high-order fast state observer is presented. Comparing with the traditional singular perturbation scheme, the improved control scheme can avoid the real-time measurement and feedback of high-order fast states of the system effectively, and it is more suitable for controlling the flexible-base and flexible-joint space manipulator with strong joint flexibility. The simulation results indicate that the proposed improved control scheme can track the desired trajectory accurately and suppress the vibration of the base and joints effectively.

Abstract:
In order to investigate the chaos vibration control of a two-stage gear train, a nonlinear dynamics dimensionless equation of a two-stage gear train with time varying meshing stiffness, errors of transmission and backlashes was established and solved with the numerical method. The influences of excitation frequency and damping coefficient on the bifurcation and chaos properties of the system were analyzed with bifurcation diagram and Poincáre section. The study result shows that the system's motion state would change into chaos in the way of crisis or intermittency, the damping coefficient would influence the region of bifurcation; the two-stage gears would germinate crisis in the process of movement at the same time, while the second gear remained relatively stable at the bifurcation point.

Abstract:
In order to extract the weak and low-frequency fault feature hidden in the single-channel measured signal from multi-stage gear transmissions, a joint approach of fault feature extraction based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and constrained independent component analysis (cICA) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the single-channel measured signal is decomposed into several IMFs with EMD. Then, the kurtosis and cross-correlation coefficient of each IMF are computed, and the suitable IMFs for constructing the new measured virtual vector are selected. Finally, the proper reference signal including gear fault feature frequency is constructed, and the desired low-frequency slight feature is extracted with cICA method. Through the experiment analysis of fault feature extraction on the low-speed gears with a missed tooth, the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method is verified.

2017, 36(7): 1035-1041. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0709
Abstract:
In order to improve the safety and reliability of axial piston pump, it is very important to determine the scope of working conditions reasonably. In this paper, the effect of oil air content, variable speed and temperature on flow of pump outlet is studied based on FLUENT. The simulation results show that the air content of the oil has greater impact on oil compressibility, but little influence on leakage. Under a certain load pressure, once the speed is about more than 2600rpm, volumetric efficiency is decreased with the raising of speed, while the compression volume and leakage volume is increased with the increasing of temperature. Finally, the accuracy of the model is verified by experiments, which also provides an effective tool for carrying out the nonlinear dynamical systems and the evolution of fault mechanism to piston pump research.

2017, 36(7): 1042-1047. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0710
Abstract:
The working principle and mechanical characteristics in the BTA deep hole drilling is analyzed, and a model for contact analysis between the drilled hole wall and the guide pads of BTA drill is established via commercial software ANSYS. By the statics simulation analysis, the actual contacting state between the drilled hole wall and the guide pads in the drilling process of staggered teeth BTA drill is presented. The change laws of contacting stress and contacting area with position angle of guide pads are analyzed. The results show that the contacting area via FE simulation is nearly similar to the wear area of guide pads in the actual drilling. The contacting area between the drilled hole wall and the guide pads is very small, and mainly concentrates on the front of guide pads. The position angles of guide pads have important effect on contacting stress and contacting area. The optimization of the position angles of guide pads can well improve the contacting state, which provides the laws for optimizing design of staggered teeth BTA drill.

2017, 36(7): 1055-1062. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0712
Abstract:
The contact zone of the traditional processing of spiral bevel gears prevents diagonal tooth contact problem. Therefore, the spread-out helix modified roll is used. The passive gear is machined by the generation method; the drive gear is machined by the helix modified roll method. According to the principles of these new methods, given the movement of the machine tool, then based on the gear meshing theory, the equations for cutting tool surface and the individual gear meshing equation are established respectively. The mathematical models of cutting tooth surfaces are obtained. The three-dimensional (3D) models of gear pairs are built based on the equations for cutting tooth surfaces. Finally, the computer simulation analysis is carried out. The analysis results show that the bias of the tooth contact zone is essentially prevented by using the spread-out helix modified roll.

2017, 36(7): 1063-1067. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0713
Abstract:
In order to improve the fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance of titanium alloy, the tests of abrasive belt grinding of titanium alloy are conducted on different prestressed conditions(0,100 MPa and 200 MPa)based on the principle of prestressed abrasive belt grinding. On different prestressed conditions, the influence rules of the residual stress, surface roughness, hardness and surface topography of the workpiece are obtained by testing and analyzing the surface integrity of the workpiece. Based on the model of abrasive belt grain, the mechanisms that prestressed abrasive belt grinding affects the residual stress and surface topography are revealed. The research shows that, within the elastic deformation limit of titanium alloy, the condition of compressive residual stress on surface of workpiece can be actively strengthened by applying prestress. The larger the magnitude of prestress is, the larger the compressive residual stress. The influence of prestressed abrasive belt grinding on the surface hardness is insignificant, and the surface hardness does not change with prestress. The workpiece machined by prestressed abrasive belt grinding can obtain good surface topography but there is slight increase in roughness.

2017, 36(7): 1068-1072. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0714
Abstract:
With Simufact.Forming software, the finite element model for power spinning of plate blank was established, and the forming process of conical thin-wall spun parts with straight flange had been simulated. The flatness error via least square method was taken as the evaluation index of flange flatness. In addition, the single factor design was used. The influence of the process parameters, including mandrel rotational velocity, roller feed velocity, roller nose radius and roller mounting angle on the flange flatness of conical thin-wall spun parts was obtained. The results indicated that flange flatness is improved with the increasing of mandrel rotational velocity, however, the effect of the mandrel rotational velocity increasing up to a certain value on the flange flatness was slightt. When roller feed velocity increased, the flange flatness was deteriorated. The roller nose radius and roller mounting angle had a compliex effect on the flange flatness, in other words, the flange flatness was first improved and then deteriorated when the roller nose radius or roller mounting angle increased. The further computer simulation with appropriate process parameters based on the obtained simulation results was conducted, which showed the flange had a minimum flatness error comparing with the other simulated.

The effects of the cutting speed, tool radius, elliptical vibration frequency, amplitude, hardness and fracture toughness of WC on the critical depth of cutting were analyzed with the theoretical formulae. Based on the imitation cutting scribing experiment, the influence of the cutting speed, hardness and fracture toughness of WC on the critical depth of cutting was investigated. It is understood that the critical depth of cutting in UEVC can be increased as comparing with the conventional cutting (CC) and the processing efficiency can be improved under the premise of improving the surface quality and accuracy.

2017, 36(7): 1092-1098. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0718
Abstract:
It is difficult to predict the characteristics of the flow fields between the jet pipe nozzle and the receiver as there exists a complex turbulent flow like submerged jet. Under the condition that the nozzle is rectangular and that the receiving ports are circular and rectangular respectively, the flow fields are numerically simulated. Then the influence factors of nozzle displacement, overlap areas of the nozzle and the receiving ports, the inlet pressure and load of a jet pipe on the flow rate during the pilot stage are obtained. The simulation results and their comparison show that the flow rate during the pilot stage is proportional to the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the jet pipe and that variables such as nozzle displacement, overlap area of the nozzle and the receiving ports and the load have little influence on the flow rate during the pilot stage. The equivalent hydraulic bridge road of the jet pipe flow field is established. The nonlinear equations of the flow rate are deduced. The influence factors of the flow rate are analyzed with the Taylor expansion. The concept of acceptance rate of flow rate is put forward and its influence on the pilot stage is analyzed.

2017, 36(7): 1136-1142. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0725
Abstract:
It is difficult to theoretically calculate lift of flapping wing flight as the aerodynamic feature of flapping wing is more complex than fixed wing flight. Based on the basic aerodynamic characteristics of an object flowed around by air, the total lift of flapping wing flight was divided into lift of flow around wing(LFAW) and lift of flow dragging wing(LFDW) in this paper. The acting mechanism and change rule of LFAW and LFDW in flapping wing flight were further analyzed and illustrated. After establishing motion model of flapping wing, theoretical calculating models of maximum LFAW and LFDW were further given. Case study shows that not only the classified lift method was feasible, but the proportion of LFAW and LFDW during fly test was consistent with the change rule of actual animal flight.

2017, 36(7): 1143-1148. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2017.0726
Abstract:
A Bayesian approach based crack propagation curve predicting method under random load spectrum with Walker model was presented. At first, parameters C and n in Walker model were viewed as random variables and their joint posterior distribution was constructed based on Bayes' theorem using test data under random spectrum. Then, samples of C, n were generated from their joint posterior distribution using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling method in which crack growth analysis under random spectrum was embedded ingeniously. At last, mean values of posterior distribution of C, n were substituted into Walker model to predict crack propagation curve (a-N curve) whose initial size has been known under random spectrum. The presented method was identified using crack growth test data of Aluminum alloy 7050-T7651 and 7050-T7452 under random spectrum, it was found that a-N curve predicted based on the method agrees well with tested a-N curve even only using a few of test data. Hence, it's promising that this method would bring great value in engineering application for achieving future damage predicting accurately in structural health monitoring (SHM) system.
