Abstract:
On account of the manufacturing error of rod length, the expansion mechanism of underwater detection array will produce the position error during extended movement, which leads to the track tracing deviation of transducers and hence affects the detection performance.

Meanwhile, the effect ofthe eight rod errors and input angles on the position error of underwater expansion mechanism in the process of actual expansion is also studied.

2018, 37(8): 1167-1176. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180029
Abstract:
In order to solve the traditional interpolation method of manipulator running slowly, this paper adopts a structuring Jacobi function approach to interpolation on the target curve, calculates the Jacobi matrix of each point on the curve according to the target curve, and forms a Jacobi matrix function. Then the target curve is fitted out the end effector speed function and each arm angular velocity function at the joint. Therefore, this paper calculates the Jacobi matrix of each position in real-time to obtain the speed of each joint according to end effector speed, which ensures that the end effector speed is controllable at each position in the workspace. At last, KUKA KR30-3 industrial robot model is used to simulate and validate this method, and its simulation analysis is done in helmet processing. The simulation results show that the speed function of each joint angle of manipulator can be calculated according to the end effector position function, and the continuity of velocity can be guaranteed when the singularity of the manipulator is avoided.

2018, 37(8): 1177-1182. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180012
Abstract:
According to the feed system of a CNC machine center, based on the analysis of mechanical properties of a double-drive ball screw feed system, with the friction of its worktable considered, the theoretical model of synchronization error is developed and solved by MATLAB/Simulink. The impact of structural parameters and other factors on the synchronization error is analyzed. The synchronization error of the worktable under uniform motion and S-shaped curve motion is measured with experiments and compared with the results of the theoretical model. The results show that the synchronization error of the feed system is caused by the twist angle due to the geometric error and different structural parameters of the two sides of the worktable during movement. The model can predict well the synchronization error.

2018, 37(8): 1183-1189. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180136
Abstract:
A new robust control strategy is presented for a class of nonlinear piezoelectric actuators subject to external disturbances, hysteresis and other time-varying uncertainties. Based on the fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode control, the proposed controller incorporates the time delay estimation, and can achieve online estimation and compensation for the time-varying system uncertainties without system model. The robust exact differentiator is introduced to estimate the velocity and acceleration information online, which overcomes the limitation of only position measurements. Compared with the traditional time delay control, the proposed control law uses the nonlinear sliding mode surface such that the finite-time convergence of tracking error can be guaranteed. Finally, a Lyapunov function is chosen to prove the stability of controlled system. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed control strategy can meet the requirements of high-precision robust tracking in micro/nano positioning applications.

Wu Wenfeng, Chen Xiaohu
2018, 37(8): 1190-1194. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180001
Abstract:
The signal denoising preprocessing is very important for extracting weak fault features from mechanical vibration signals in strong noise background. However for wavelet transform (WT) and other traditional signal processing algorithms, the processing of signal denoising is a troublesome thing. The balance between signal denoising and feature preserving is a couple of contradictions. Thus we mean to bring in the Perona-Malik nonlinear anisotropy diffusion filtering model to process signal preprocessing in strong noise. Firstly, the partial differential equation (PDE) theory is introduced, and the Perona-Malik model, as one of important nonlinear anisotropy diffusion filtering algorithms, is brought in. Secondly, from the applications in image denoising, it can be analyzed and inferred that the Perona-Malik model is a perfect solution for wavelet transform and other traditional signal denoiseing algorithms. Lastly, by comparison with the wavelet threshold denoising algorithms in the bearing vibration signals, it can be indicated that the Perona-Malik model is very appropriate for mechanical vibration signals in strong noise. Above all, the Perona-Malik filter can not only realize signal denoising but also preserve signal features with better denoising performance and without signal distortions.

2018, 37(8): 1200-1206. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2018.0801
Abstract:
The end effect exists in envelope fitting during the process of applying EMD method to diagnose mechanical fault. A revised method of boundary extension is proposed based on linear extrapolation method and similar extreme extension method considering the internal signal extreme waving condition in this paper. The variance of internal signal is calculated to evaluate the degree of signal stability. In the case of the signal waves smoothly, similar extreme extension method is conducted to maintain the inherent steadiness at utmost. While the signal that changes abnormally swings violently, the local information at the edges is considered only to conduct linear extrapolation method. Through simulation analysis and tests of fault diagnosis of rolling bearings, results demonstrate this method can suppress end effect of EMD method.

2018, 37(8): 1207-1216. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180009
Abstract:
In this paper, three types of potential field are proposed to solve global congestion and human obstacle avoidance in the practical operation of multiple robots. The social potential field determines the interaction force among the robots and ensures their avoidance foundation. The behavior potential field aims to strike a balance between human safety and the movement productivity of the robots when there are both robots and human in the working environment. The anti-congestion potential field is to distinguish and prevent global congestion. The simulation results verify the validity of the proposed method by using the resultant potential of three kinds of potential field. Moreover, the experimental results on a real robot are presented and further indicate that the improved algorithm is more efficient than the traditional ones.

2018, 37(8): 1217-1222. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180015
Abstract:
The lightweight modular robot is mostly driven by harmonic reducer, and the stiffness of the reducer is relatively low and highly nonlinear. Therefore it is difficult to obtain joint stiffness parameters by linear identification, so a new calibration method is proposed in this paper to improve position accuracy of the robot. Firstly, the static stiffness error model of the robot is established by the stiffness characteristic curve of the harmonic reducer; Then comprehensive position error of the robot is measured using a laser tracker; Next, the error due to joint stiffness is estimated using the static stiffness error model and separated from the comprehensive error; Finally, the actual Denavit-Hartenberg parameters are identified using the least squares method, and the terminal error of the robot is estimated and compensated in real-time combining the stiffness error model. The experimental results show that this method can improve positioning accuracy of the robot effectively.

2018, 37(8): 1223-1230. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180013
Abstract:
The model of wall sheath in an ion thruster with the magnetic field and secondary electrons sputtered by ion is established. The magnetic sheath structural characteristics with emission of secondary electrons were studied with the four-order Runge-Kutta method. The computing results show that the change in the size and angle of magnetic field has a significant influence on the wall sheath. The curves are smoother with secondary electrons. The calculation results on electrons are greatly influenced, while those on ions have little influence. In addition, the potential of wall sheath is the main cause for change in the thickness of wall sheath, which greatly influences the parameters of wall sheath.

Abstract:
To improve the radius error compensation accuracy of an on-machine measurement system, an accurate estimation algorithm is presented for the normal vector of a measurement point, which is an important parameter for radius error compensation. When the measurement point is in the vertices of triangular meshes, a normal vector estimation method is proposed based on the angle, centroids distance and perimeter of a triangle and is validated by the triangular mesh models of three quadric surfaces. The experimental results demonstrate that the improved algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy of normal vector estimation. Meanwhile, under the condition that the measurement points planned by the cross-section curve method are located in the interiors of the triangle, the barycenter coordinate method is proposed to compute the normal vectors of measurement points and verified by the density of two different grids with sine-like surfaces. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm decreases the average normal vector error by 53.5% and 61.7% respectively and obviously enhances the accuracy of normal vector estimation and radius error compensation.

2018, 37(8): 1260-1266. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180019
Abstract:
SKD11 steel is a kind of special and difficult-to-cut materials used as key part of a military missile rack, which service surface needs to meet mirror roughness. Traditional grinding and polishing method is time-consuming and laborious due to the high hardness of SKD11 after quenching. For achieving high material removal rate to the workpiece surface, polishing tests on curved workpiece using elastic abrasive were carried out. The polishing model for curved surface polishing by elastic abrasive was established. The effects of the process parameters on the material removal rate(MRR) and abrasive wear were analyzed. A multi-index optimization based on MRR, abrasive wear and surface roughness(Ra) was realized by grey relation analysis and Taguchi method. The results showed that the setting cut depth and grinding speed are the main influencing factors of MRR and abrasive wear. To guarantee the life of the abrasive tool, the setting cut depth should be less than 0.3 mm and the grinding speed is below 9 000 r/min in polishing by elastic abrasive. The optimal parameter combination is the abrasive of #320, grinding speed of 3 000 r/min, setting cut depth of 0.3 mm and feed rate of 2 mm/min. The mean Ra of the workpiece achieves 0.056 μm and MRR increases 2.6 times with an improvement of abrasive wear under the optimized parameters.

2018, 37(8): 1272-1279. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180033
Abstract:
In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the accelerated pressure drop and the frictional pressure drop of the Venturi divergent section was carried out. Based on the long throat Venturi with a diameter of 50 mm and beta ratio of 0.55, 4 kinds of structures were designed from the divergent angle and the shape of divergent section by numerical simulation method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Finding the optimal structure used in wet-gas flow can improve the linear identification of up and down differential pressure ratio K with liquid volume fraction (LVF). Simulation data coincide with theoretical analysis results. The results showed that the value of K rises with the increase of the divergent angle, but it is difficult to realize the linear identification. The elliptical arc divergent section can improve resolving power of K to liquid phase by decreasing the accelerated pressure drop and increasing the friction pressure drop. It is necessary to ensure the smooth connection between the divergent section and straight pipe section, so as to ensure the stability of the flow pattern. The divergent section of the elliptic arc structure connects with linear structure smoothly ensuring the stability of wet-gas flow, meanwhile the linearity between K and LVF is broadened from the original 1.5% to 4.5%.

2018, 37(8): 1286-1292. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20180011
Abstract:
The operating sounds radiated from internal combustion engine include tonal noise components caused by rotating mechanical parts such as the gears, fan and so on. The negative effects of tonal noise components need to be considered for the quantitative evaluation of users' subjective preference. However, it is found that the correlation between Aure's tonality and subjective preference is too low to fully reflect the influence of tonal characteristics on subjective feelings. In this paper, the calculation model of Aure's tonality is analyzed in detail to find the cause of decreasing correlation. Based on the tone-to-noise ratio, which can better express the energy ratio of tonal components in noise and has a higher correlation with the subjective feelings, an improved tonality evaluation model is proposed. As a result, it has been confirmed that the proposed tonality evaluation model has sufficient correlation and improves the accuracy of the tonality model in the research on sound quality of internal combustion engine.
