Abstract:To solve the stress concentration problem caused by tooth interference and insufficient tooth surface contact during the operation of harmonic reducers,an axial modification method based on the finite element method(FEM)was proposed.Firstly,the profiles of the flexspline and circular spline were designed based on the requirement of tooth contact analysis(TCA),laying a foundation for the accurate simulation of the working state of the harmonic reducer.Subsequently,the flexspline model was reconstructed based on the FEM for TCA.On the premise of maintaining the integrity of the original flexspline profile,axial modification was conducted.Finally,the modification effect was verified through finite element simulation.The results show that after modification,the maximum equivalent stress and meshing pressure on the flexspline tooth surface are significantly reduced,and the tooth surface contact area is obviously expanded.This method effectively solves the problems of tooth interference and stress concentration,significantly improves transmission smoothness,and provides technical reference for the optimization of gear meshing performance of harmonic reducers.

Abstract:Pipelines are frequently connected to power equipment such as compressors and pumps,serving critical functions including material transport and pressure transmission,thereby constituting the"highways"for material transfer in industrial production.Prolonged excessive vibration is the fundamental cause of structural fatigue damage in pipelines,detachment of instruments mounted on pipelines,and desensitization of auxiliary components.Research on pipeline vibration,noise,and their control technologies is a fundamental prerequisite for meeting industrial production requirements.Due to their significant damping effects,high reliability,and ease of installation,particle dampers are commonly employed for vibration control in industrial pipelines.However,the damping mechanisms and configuration methods of particle damping materials remain incomplete,resulting in difficulties in predicting their vibration attenuation performance.Firstly,a theoretical calculation method was developed for particle dampers used in L-shaped industrial pipelines,and the energy dissipation mechanisms of particles were analyzed under two states:"equivalent solid"and"equivalent fluid".Then,based on variations in vibration intensity at damper installation locations,a theoretical calculation approach for particle dampers was proposed.The results indicate that under small vibration conditions without slip flow,the energy dissipation by particles can be equivalently represented by impulsive collision forces between particles and the pipeline as well as frictional energy loss;under large vibration conditions,slip flow occurs among particles exhibiting viscous damping effects.Both theoretical analysis and test results demonstrate that when particle dampers operate within an environment characterized by a reduced acceleration Γ≤3.8,collision-based damping models are appropriate to characterize their dissipative performance;conversely,when operating under reduced acceleration conditions Γ>3.8,multiphase flow frameworks should be employed to predict the vibration attenuation efficacy of particle dampers.

Abstract:Exponential distribution is widely applied to describe product life in reliability engineering.Correspondingly,product failure rate is a constant(not changing with the service time of the product).Nevertheless,only the products with special property or under particular load condition have exponentially distributed life and constant failure rate.Unrealistic hypothesis of exponentially distributed life will lead to serious error in reliability and failure rate analysis results.In the situations that component life follows exponential distribution,to assume component failures being independent of each other will mislead system reliability evaluation.The the property of product failure rate was analyzed and inferred from the aspects of product strength performance and load environment.The conditions for product failure rate to follow exponential distribution were revealed,and product failure dependency issues in condition of life following exponential distribution were explained.

Abstract:To enhance the assembly connection performance of adhesive structures in heavy machinery and aerospace equipment,a numerical analysis model based on the cohesive force element was developed to investigate the failure behavior of adhesive joints.The evolution of shear stress distribution in the adhesive layer during the tensile-shear failure process under different loading stages was analyzed.The variations in ultimate failure load and structural stiffness with different adhesive joint parameters were systematically studied,and tensile-shear failure tests were conducted.The results indicate that the shear stress distribution in the adhesive layer transitions from an initial U-shaped profile to an M-shaped and finally evolves into an approximately inverted U-shaped pattern as the load increases.Increasing the length or width of the adhesive layer significantly improves both the ultimate failure load and overall structural stiffness.However,increasing the adhesive layer thickness or substrate thickness exhibits a minor effect on the ultimate failure load.Notably,the structural stiffness decreases with increasing adhesive thickness but increases with higher substrate thickness.

Abstract:Aiming at the limitations of current monitoring methods in the accuracy of early fault diagnosis for rolling mill bearings,a structural design method for intelligent rolling mill bearings based on embedded multi-source microsensors was proposed.A multi-source microsensor module integrating temperature and acceleration signals was developed,and an optimized layout structure of axial sensing leads in the bearing housing was designed,breaking through the bottleneck of sensor integration under the space constraints of traditional bearings.A mechanical performance evaluation system for the slotted structure was established,and the reliability of the intelligent structure was verified through strength check and service life calculation.The results showed that when the slotted area was 10 mm×5 mm,the maximum equivalent stress was 99.71 MPa,which had sufficient safety margin compared with the material yield limit;the maximum overall deformation of the structure was only 0.24 mm,and the local deformation was less than 0.02 mm,with the theoretical service life consistent with that of conventional bearings.The optimized intelligent bearing ensured monitoring functionality while meeting industrial application requirements in terms of structural strength and service life.The research results not only provide a high-precision monitoring method for early fault diagnosis of rolling mill bearings under extreme working conditions but also achieve an integrated"monitoring-structure"process through embedded design.Its strength check standards and service life evaluation methods can directly guide the transformation and upgrading of intelligent bearings in industrial sites,holding significant engineering value for improving the operation and maintenance efficiency of rolling production lines.

Abstract:The influence of different multi-delamination forms on the tensile strength of blade spar cap laminates was studied.Static tensile tests were conducted on laminates with single and multiple delaminations.The continuous damage model(CDM)and cohesive zone model(CZM)were used to analyze the damage process and failure mode.The numerical results showed good agreement with test values,with an overall error rate below 7%.A numerical model of 1.5 MW-40.3 m blade spar cap equivalent laminates was established to predict the effect of different types of multi-delamination on the tensile strength.The results show that the arrangement,maximum area,and step difference of delaminations all have an impact on tensile strength.The tensile strength of triangular multi-delamination is higher than that of inverted triangular multi-delamination laminates,and the maximum delamination near the surface greatly affects the tensile failure load.

Abstract:The aircraft's inlet structure is connected to the engine sleeve using countersunk rivets.During maintenance,fatigue fractures were discovered in some rivets.It suggests that the inadequate perpendicularity of rivet holes during manufacturing causes the rivet misalignment,reducing the load-bearing capacity,and leading to fatigue fractures under aircraft vibrations.The finite element simulation was used to study the effect of inclined rivet holes on the load-bearing capacity,simulation results show that inclined holes cause uneven stress distribution across the rivet section.The higher the tilt angle,the higher the maximum stress and the more uneven stress distribution on the rivet head section.Fatigue tests under axial loads at different tilt angles demonstrated a reduction in the rivet's fatigue life due to the hole inclination.The study concludes that non-compliance with perpendicularity standards during hole fabrication results in uneven stress distribution,decreasing load-bearing capacity.Therefore,the strict control over rivet hole perpendicularity during the aircraft manufacturing is crucial to ensure structural reliability.

Abstract:Vertical axis wind turbines have gradually become a research hotspot due to their ease of scalability,but the research involving structural aspects is relatively limited.Therefore,a blade and strut composite layup design solution was proposed to meet the structural performance requirements.The computational fluid dynamics method was used to obtain the aerodynamic loads under extreme environments and loaded them onto the wind turbine surface.The finite element method was used to perform the statics and modal analysis.The results show that the proposed wind turbine blade,strut,and tower have sufficient safety under extreme loads.The maximum displacement is located at the top of the blade trailing edge,the maximum stress is located at the connection between the tower and the strut,and the maximum strain is located at the blade web in contact with the strut;the vertical axis wind turbine wind wheel still has strong torsional load characteristics under the windward condition;the wind turbine operating frequency is less than the wind turbine first-order natural frequency,and its relative difference exceeds 10%.The wind turbine will not resonate under rated conditions.

Abstract:Considering the uncertainty associated with structural boundary conditions,a method for modifying the boundary constraint static model of beam structures was proposed based on the homotopy stochastic finite element method.The overall modification of both the beam body elements and boundary elements was achieved using uncertain static measurement data.By employing the static condensation method,computational degrees of freedom were ensured to match measured degrees of freedom.Regularization methods were applied to mitigate ill-conditioned solutions in modification equations for stochastic models.The probabilistic residual minimization method enables optimal selection of homotopy coefficients,ensured accurate identification of boundary constraints and precise overall modification.Finally,simulations on variable-section concrete beams and static loading tests on aluminum alloy beams were conducted to verify the effectiveness of this approach.

Abstract:In order to construct a bone scaffold structure with good biological properties,P-type,FRD-type homogeneous multi-porous scaffolds and P&FRD gradient multi-porous scaffolds with different porosities and unit cell scales were designed based on the triply periodic minimal surface(TPMS).The effects of unit cell types,porosities and unit cell scales on the mechanical and biological properties of TPMS multi-porous scaffolds were investigated by tests and finite element simulation.The results show that the internal pores of homogeneous and gradient multi-porous scaffolds based on TPMS have good connectivity.The mechanical properties of multi-porous scaffolds decrease with the increase of porosity,but the permeability increases with the increase of porosity.Increasing the unit cell scale can significantly improve the permeability of multi-porous scaffolds.The permeability of the gradient multi-porous scaffold is also affected by the seepage direction.The gradient multi-porous scaffolds can synthesize the performance characteristics of each homogeneous unit cell structure,and show different mechanical and biological properties in different regions of the scaffold,which is closer to the structure and biological properties of human bone.

Abstract:Under the medium and high speed of spherical hybrid sliding bearings,the dynamic pressure effect causes the fluid in the wedge space to whirl,and the vibration characteristics of the rotor may be affected by the oil whirl,so the rotation accuracy of the main shaft is reduced.The spherical hybrid sliding bearings with the orifice throttle was divided into cylindrical and conical whirl.The lubrication mathematical model and rotor dynamic model were established and solved simultaneously,the journal center trajectory and vibration amplitude were obtained.The influence of the centroid offset distance and initial deflection angle on the vibration characteristics of the rotor system were studied.The results show that,compared with the pure cylindrical whirl,the stability of the journal center trajectory decreases and the vibration amplitude increases after considering the conical whirl.With the increase of the centroid offset distance,the stability and vibration amplitude of the journal center trajectory decrease greatly.With the increase of the initial deflection angle,the stability and vibration amplitude of the journal center trajectory decrease only slightly.It can be concluded that changing the distance of the centroid offset has more influence on the stability of the journal center trajectory and the vibration characteristics of the rotor system than changing the initial deflection angle.

Abstract:Abnormal vibration in the pipeline associated with large synchronous condensers not only reduces the lifespan of the pipeline but also affects the supply of the lubricating oil and coolant for the synchronous condenser,posing a serious risk of major safety accidents and jeopardizing the stability of the power system.The lubricating oil supply pipeline of a specific ultra-high voltage converter station synchronous condenser was taken as the research object.Multiple methods,including field measurements,fluid-structure coupling,and harmonic response analysis,were used to investigate the causes and mechanisms of the pipeline vibration.The results indicate that the periodic excitation force generated by the synchronous condenser itself is the main cause of pipeline vibration.Furthermore,a pipeline vibration reduction measure based on a tuned mass damper(TMD)was proposed.Experimental and simulation data shows that installing a TMD at the intermediate positions between suspension supports 4 and 5,as well as 6 and 7 in the lubricating oil supply pipeline system,yields the best vibration reduction effect.This approach can reduce the vibration acceleration of the pipeline system by over 90%and exhibits the excellent vibration reduction performance.

Abstract:Aiming at the noise problem of the automobile electric seat adjuster,a pair of modified worm and modified helical gear was adopted for its main transmission system to reduce the meshing impact.The mathematical model was established,and several worms and helical gears with different modifications were processed.The noise test bench was built,and the acceleration spectrum of the automobile seat adjuster under the original models and different modifications were tested.Then the whole device's noise reduction test was conducted with the optimized combination of tooth profile modification.The analysis results show that the appropriate profile modification of the worm and helical gear can effectively reduce the acceleration spectrum peak.With 0.04 mm and 0.02 mm modification respectively for the helical gear and the worm,the acceleration peak value of seat adjuster is significantly lower than that of the original product.The difference between the 6 sets of test products maximum noise and the standard products is within 1.6 dB,and the acceleration spectrum and acceleration peak of the experimental products are significantly reduced compared to the original product,which can verify noise reduction by the tooth profile modification of worm and helical gear pair is feasible.

Abstract:In order to gain insight into the stability of the tracking frame structure of shipborne large-aperture telescopes,the stability of typical ground-level telescope tracking frames was studied.According to the external load borne by the equipment in the case of ship,the external load was parameterized and entered into the finite element software.The pre-treatment software and finite element software were used to analyze the structural deformation under static wind load.Then,the natural frequency of the structure was solved,and a simple response spectrum analysis calculation was proposed instead of the tedious random response analysis to analyze the stability of the equipment under dynamic wind load and wave excitation.According to the stress and deformation values obtained from the results,it was ensured that the shipborne telescope tracking frame theoretically meets the strength requirements and design accuracy requirements under shipborne conditions.Under the static wind load,the maximum stress value of the tracking frame structure is about 14.07 MPa,which was less than the yield strength of steel 355 MPa,the maximum deformation variable was about 0.02 mm,which was less than the design accuracy error coaxiality ϕ0.1 mm,and the natural frequency 1st-6th order mode value was 40.15,49.65,66.86,82.93,91.38,115.89 Hz.Under dynamic wind load,the peak value of structural stress was 3.92 MPa and the maximum deformation variable was 0.01 mm,and under the excitation of ocean waves,the peak of structural stress was 5.88 MPa and the maximum deformation variable was 0.02 mm,which was less than the yield strength and design accuracy error coaxiality of steel.The error between the modal value obtained by the modal test and the calculated modal value is within 10%.Combining theoretical simulation and practical tests,the tracker structure can work normally under shipborne conditions.

Abstract:Aiming at the storage life evaluation of photodetectors,a new evaluation method for multi-parameter competitive failure storage life assessment based on Monte-Carlo method was proposed.This method comprehensively considered whether the key performance parameters of the sample have deteriorated or improved trend.Firstly,the optimal degradation model with a single parameter was selected by performance degradation modeling,so that the pseudo-life of the sample with increasing degradation trend was calculated according to the failure threshold,and the pseudo-life was regarded as the right-censored data for the sample with decreasing degradation trend.Furthermore,the optimal distribution of a single performance parameter was selected based on the pseudo-life data combined with the expectation maximization(EM)algorithm,and then the competitive failure evaluation of multi-parameters was carried out by Monte-Carlo sampling method.According to the case analysis of the photodetector storage,the feasibility of this method was verified.

Abstract:The fracturing pump plunger seal pair is one of the components most prone to failure at the hydraulic end of the fracturing pump due to its long-term operation under variable load,reciprocal friction and high pressure,and acidic fracturing fluid.To study the influence of interference magnitude,medium pressure,etc.on the sealing performance of V-shaped sealing ring,the assembly process of V-shaped sealing ring was simulated by using automatic shrinkage fit,the actual fluid pressure action condition of the V-shaped sealing ring was simulated based on fluid pressure penetration,and the finite element model of V-shaped sealing ring was established.Under quasi-static and dynamic sealing,the maximum Mises stress and the variation law of contact pressure of the V-shaped sealing ring were analyzed.A two-stage differential pressure plunger seal structure was proposed,and the sealing performance analysis of the structure was carried out.The results show that the maximum contact pressure of the seals all appear in the V-shaped sealing ring near the high-pressure fluid side,and the maximum stress is mainly in the lip and shoulder of the V-shaped sealing ring in contact with the support ring and press ring,the V-shaped sealing ring is more likely to fail on the side in contact with the plunger.The use of two-stage differential pressure plunger seal can effectively reduce the Mises stress,shear stress,and friction between the V-shaped sealing ring and the plunger,which can extend the working life of the fracturing pump plunger seal and improve the reliability and economy of the fracturing operation.
