In this paper, based onpiezoelectric ceramic, composite and experimental mechanics theories, a kind of 1-3 orthogonalanisotropic PCM (OAPCM) sensor is developed, and the sensing principle is analyzed to describesensor behaviors. In order to determine strain and stress on isotropic or orthogonal anisotropiccomponent surface, the relationships between strain and stress are established. The experimentalresearch on 1-3 OAPCM sensor is carried out in uniaxial and biaxial stress states. The results showthat 1-3 OAPCM sensors offer orthotropic properties of piezoelectricity, and sensing equations canbe used for strain or stress measurement with good accuracy.展开更多

The procedure includes evaluating the reliability of every sensors datum, processing the initiallocation by the credible data, and selecting a set of equations with optimal noise tolerance according to the relative relationshipbetween the initial location and sensors location, then calculating the final location by k-mean voting. The results obtained in thisresearch include comparing traditional location method with the presented method in both simulation and field experiment. In thefield experiment, the location error of relocation method reduced 41.8% compared with traditional location method. The resultssuggested that relocation method can improve the fault-tolerant performance significantly.展开更多

After analyzing the locomotion architecture of mobile robot and the principle of proprioceptive sensors, the kinematics model of mobile robot was built to realize the relative localization. Considering that the research on dead reckoning of mobile robot was confined to the 2 dimensional planes, the locomotion of mobile robot in the 3 coordinate axis direction was thought over in order to estimate its pose on uneven terrain. Because the computing method in a plane is rather mature, the calculation in height direction is emphatically represented as a key issue. With experimental results obtained by simulation program and robot platform, the position of mobile robot can be reliably estimated and the localization precision can be effectively improved, so the effectiveness of this dead reckoning system is demonstrated.展开更多

Further, a self-tuning weighted measurement fusion Kalman filter is presented, based on the Riccati equation. By the Dynamic Error System Analysis (DESA) method, it rigorously proved that the presented self-tuning weighted measurement fusion Kalman filter converges to the optimal weighted measurement fusion steady-state Kalman filter in a realization or with probability one, so that it has asymptotic global optimality. A simulation example for a target tracking system with 3-sensor shows that the presented self-tuning measurement fusion Kalman fuser converges to the optimal steady-state measurement fusion Kalman fuser.展开更多

An equation for calculating the resonance frequency of the drum transducer is obtained based on thin plate elastic theory of piezoelectric and metal material combined with the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The finite element method (FEM) was used to predict the excitation frequency of the drum transducer. To verify the theoretical analysis, the input impedance characteristic of the drum transducer was measured using an experimental method. The results obtained from theoretical analysis were in very good agreement with those from the FEM and experimental results. The effect of geometrical changes to the thick-walled steel ring of the drum transducer at the first resonance frequency is also described. The calculated results were found to be in good agreement with the FEM results. The results indicate that the first resonance frequency of the drum decreases with the increasing inner diameter of the thick-walled steel ring.展开更多

The experimental part of the work was performed in a high-speed linear cas- cade wind tunnel. The increased levels of turbulence were achieved by a passive grid placed at the cascade inlet. A two-dimensional flow field at the center of the blade was traversed pitch-wise upstream and downstream the cascade by means of a five-bole probe and a needle pressure probe, respectively. The blade loading was measured using the surface pressure taps evenly deployed at the blade mid-span along the suction and the pressure side. The inlet turbulence was investigated using the constant temperature anemometer technique with a dual sensor probe. Experimentally evaluated values of turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate were then used as inputs for the numerical simulations. An in-house code based on a system of the Favre-averaged Navier-Stokes equation closed by a two-equation k-co turbulence model was adopted for the predictions. The code utilizes an algebraic model of bypass transition valid both for attached as for separated flows taking in account the effect of free-stream turbulence and pressure gradient. The resulting comparison was carried out in terms of the kinetic en- ergy loss coefficient, distributions of downstream wakes and blade velocity. Additionally a flow visualization was performed by means of the Schlieren technique in order to provide a further understanding of the studied phe- nomena. A few selected cases with a particular interest in the attached and separated flow transition are compared and discussed.展开更多
