2018, 37(10): 1483-1488. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180055
Abstract:
In order to solve the multi-robot coordination problem in dynamic environments, we propose a two-stage decoupled dynamic path modification method, which can coordinate multiple robots in offline mode. First, we present a multi-robot coordination framework. In the first stage of coordination, the A* algorithm is used to explore the collision-free path with respect to known static obstacles. In the second stage, the incremental A* algorithm is employed to find the collision-free and optimized path with respect to dynamic obstacles. Considering the planning time and path length, an evaluation model for dynamic path modification sequence is established for conflicting robots. The conflicts between robots are resolved through altering robot paths. A case study indicates that the proposed method is effective.

2018, 37(10): 1489-1495. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180071
Abstract:
This paper proposes a trajectory planning method for polishing the free-form surface of a robot so that the polishing robot may not have difficulty in planning its free-form surface and can improve its polishing accuracy. This method is based on the UG software environment to establish the free surface model. Based on the toolpath generation method for milling and polishing, the polishing trajectories are generated with the residual height algorithm. With the polishing trajectories generated, the Douglas-Peucker algorithm, which is used to extract the feature points of the polishing knife, is used to control the bow height error within a given range, improve the polishing accuracy and finally solve the robot's joint angle according to the data on continuous points of the polishing knife. The example shows that the polishing trajectory planning method has a high precision and can solve the free-form surface polishing trajectory planning problem.

Abstract:
The Carsim software just focuses on modeling the traditional internal combustion engine car. This paper builds the dynamic model of a distributed drive electric vehicle based on the co-simulation of Carsim and Simulink. The Simulink motor model is connected to the co-simulation platform of the distributed driving electric vehicle after disconnecting the power source of the Carsim internal combustion engine model. Then the model was verified with the simulation. The co-simulation of double lane change and serpentine winding pile condition shows that both the Carsim model and the Simulink motor model have good response characteristics, thus providing an effective method for estimating the speed of the distributed drive electric vehicle.

Abstract:
The 2-DOF pseudo-rigid-body model is applied, according to the mechanical and deformation characteristics of forced component in bearings. The contact force between the rolling bearing rings and the balls is obtained by force method in the given axial and radial displacement of bearing center. By this way the axial force, radial force and reacting torque of the bearing is also figured out. The influence of balls centrifugal force, gyroscopic moment, location of roller on force and deformation is also discussed. The results shows that:with the increasing of axial and radial deformation, the axial and radial reacting force increase significantly. At this time, the bearing can be considered as a nonlinear hard spring; the axial and radial reacting force will decrease due to the effect of centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment; the variation of reacting force and torque of bearing can be up to 1.92% as the change in the position of rolling.

Zhang Nan, Wang Bin, Cao Qiwei
2018, 37(10): 1517-1522. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180043
Abstract:
In order to meet the special requirements for the remote and highly flexible actuation of a hydraulic device in a small area, a hydromechanical hybrid actuator with asymmetric double cylinders is proposed. Thin and long hoses connect miniature cylinders in this scheme. The motor drives the drag screw and thereby pushes the power-producing cylinder, which makes the pressure in the chamber of the actuating cylinder and its connecting hose increase until it moves. These constitute an asymmetric double cylinder drive. Both open loop and closed loop control systems are examined to decide a better system required. In order to obtain the desired steady and dynamic response, modeling and simulation are carried out, with the effects of the hose deformation taken into consideration. Results show that the hoses that connect miniature cylinders can prolong the response lag of the actuating cylinder and reduce the retract accuracy and the dynamic response. Developed from the absolutely symmetric double cylinder, the proposed asymmetric double cylinders with proper size ratio can improve the performance of the hydromechanical hybrid actuator but does not weaken its stability.

Abstract:
For better use of low-grade heat, the structure of two kinds of impeller, 90° IFR and IFG, of the radial inflow turbine suitable for organic Rankine cycle system (ORC) of low-temperature geothermal power was self-designed and developed. And the numerical simulation is carried out. The results show that under diverse working conditions for the same inlet pressure and temperature, the same outlet pressure and the same flow rate, comparing with the turbine with 90°IFR, the turbine with IFG has higher efficiency. In order to further improve the efficiency of two radial inflow turbines, the impeller of two radial inflow turbines has been optimized by using the uniform test. And the one-way fluid solid coupling method is used to check the strength of the optimized impeller blade. The results show that the maximum isentropic efficiency is 86.9% and 87.9%, increased by 1.9% and 1.4% respectively. After optimization, the flow in the impeller is improved and the performance of impeller is enhanced. The strength check results show that the strength of the impeller blades of the maximum deformation of the optimized design was less than the tip clearance, and the maximum equivalent stress is far less than the yield strength of the material. The impeller meets the requirements of safe operation.

Abstract:
The cutting efficiency and the surface roughness of the monocrystalline silicon are two important indexes which are tradeoff in the production for wire-cut electrical discharge machining (WEDM), and it is hoped to improve the cutting efficiency of monocrystalline silicon while ensuring the surface quality of the work-piece. This paper develops the objective function of the cutting efficiency and surface roughness of monocrystalline silicon WEDM by using the response surface methodology (RSM). A set of Pareto optimal solutions for cutting efficiency and surface roughness are obtained by improved strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm (SPEA-Ⅱ). The Pareto optimal solution obtained by SPEA-Ⅱ is compared with the solution obtained by improving the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-Ⅱ) under the same conditions. The optimization performance of the two algorithms for objective function is tested.

2018, 37(10): 1551-1558. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180078
Abstract:
To study the influence of the cutting parameters and geometric parameters of the cutting tool on the drilling quality, simulation of drilling Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) composites was conducted by using software ABAQUS. A model for predicting the thrust force in drilling was established based on the Response Surface Methodology (RSM), in which the spindle speed, feed rate, and point angle were considered as the design variables. The influence of those variables on the thrust force was analyzed as well. The results show that the thrust force decreases with the increasing of spindle speed, and increases with the increasing of feed rate and point angle. The order of influencing significance on the thrust force is the feed rate, spindle speed, and point angle. The prediction model has high confidence. It is recommended to use higher spindle speed, smaller feed and point angle in drilling, in order to reduce the thrust force and improve the drilling quality of CFRP composites.

Abstract:
Ultrasonic guided-wave (UGW) is an emerging non-destructive testing technique in recent years. Compared with the conventional inspection techniques, such as ultrasonic inspection and magnetic flux leakage testing, the UGW can enable long-range, comprehensive and efficient inspection. It thus attracts more attention, especially for pipe inspection. However, the propagation and reflection of guided wave are complicated, and it is always essential to introduce finite element analysis (FEA) into UGW research for guidance and verification of experimental results. How to guarantee the accuracy of FEA model is an important problem. In this paper, with number of time substeps as an example, the effects of simulation parameters on simulation models are analyzed, and the method for selecting the optimal simulation parameters with quantitative evaluation criteria is proposed. The comparison results between simulation and experimental results verify that the method is effective for optimizing simulation parameters.

2018, 37(10): 1566-1572. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180036
Abstract:
The supervised learning is commonly adopted in fault feature extraction for mechanical equipment fault diagnosis, while the labeled data are often hard to obtain. To deal with such problem, a deep neural network embedding convolution networks in sparse encoder is proposed. The transformations of Hilbert and Fourier make it possible to transform the vibration time series of machinery into Hilbert envelope spectrum. Different features of spectral space data are automatically learned with multiple sets of convolution kernels in convolution networks, which ensure the automation, comprehensiveness and diversity of the extracted features. The sparse encoder looks for a low-dimensional representation of data featured with orthogonality, making the encoded data characterized by strong clustering; so that the automatic fault diagnosis of the equipment is realized. Through analysis and experiments on vibration signals of rolling bearings, it is proved that this method has the characteristics of de-labeling, automation and robustness in equipment fault diagnosis.

Abstract:
Taking the battery module of an electric vehicle with bus-bar as the research object, the effects of the design parameters such as the electric-discharge magnification, the bus-bar contact area and the current I/O position on the electric field and the temperature field of module are studied. Based on the analysis of the temperature field distribution, the influence in the battery monomer and the bus-bar of the design parameters on the temperature change, the uniformity of the temperature and the heat exchange between the two groups were investigated. The results show that the current discharge magnification not only affects the temperature rise, but also the heat exchange between the bus-bar and the cell. Therefore, the heat of the bus-bar on the effect of a cell should be taken into account in the high current charge-discharge conditions. The contact area and position of current I/O will have different effects on battery temperature rise, temperature balance and current balance.

Abstract:
Half-rotating wing (HRW) is a new flapping-imitating wing system with rotating-type flapping instead of oscillating-type flapping. The working principle of HRW was firstly introduced in this paper. The design scheme of lift testing device and lift computational model were then given to explore the aerodynamic characteristics of HRW in hovering flight. The aerodynamic experiment was performed by two wing layout with different wing material. The experiment results showed that:the flow field generated by the motion of the wing arranged symmetry in body would interfere with each other, by which the average lift coefficient of the double-wing HRW was less than that of the single-wing HRW;on the other hand, the average lift coefficient of flexible wing was larger than that of the rigid wing;in addition, the average lift of the flexible wing would go up with the increasing of degree of relaxation when it was within the appropriate range. Above research results revealed the aerodynamic characteristics of HRW in hovering flight.
