In this condition, the motion is in large drift angles, and the maneuverability hydrodynamic forces cannot be expressed properly in the conventional mathematical model of submersible motion. In this paper, firstly, a general equation of MSV with six-freedom motion is presented, and the numerical simulation of descent/ascent motion and helix motion is conducted to reveal the general maneuver characteristics of MSV. Secondly, according to the data of captive model tests of large drift angles of MSV, the regression analysis of position hydrodynamic forces and rotation hydrodynamic forces is carried out, and the results of regression analysis of maneuverability hydrody- namic characteristics are analyzed to reveal the special maneuver characteristics. Thirdly, a special new mathematical model of MSV with the whole range of drift angles motion is presented, which can be used to predict hydrodynamic performance of motion in the 0° - 180° range of drift angles. The results are applied to the design of maneuverability hydrodynamic forces, development of control system and simulator of a practical MSV.展开更多

A new type of miniature hydraulic pumping unit with long-stroke, low pumping speed and compact structure is designed based on the spatial characteristics of offshore platforms. By combining the strengths of sinusoidal velocity curve and trapezoidal velocity curve, a kinematical model of the acceleration, the velocity and displacement of the pumping unit's hanging point is established. The results show that the pumping unit has good kinematic characteristics of smooth motion and small dynamic load. The multi-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of the single-well pumping unit is established. The first and second order natural frequencies of the sucker rod string subsystem and the pumping unit subsystem are studied. The results show that the first and the second order natural frequencies among the pumping rod string, pumping unit-platform subsystem and the dynamic excitation have differences over 5 times from each other, indicating that resonance phenomenon will not appear during the operation and the dynamic requirements for field use are met in the system.展开更多

The resulting temperatures show that most of intermediate and deep earthquakes occurring within the Tonga slab are occurring inside the 800℃and 1200℃isotherm,respectively.The elevation of olivine transformation near~410 km and respective persistence of metastable olivine and spinel within the transition zone and beneath 660 km would thus result in bimodal positive,zonal,negative density anomalies,respectively.These results together with the resulting pressure anomalies may reflect the stress pattern of the Tonga slab:(i) slab pull force exerts above a depth of~230 km;(ii) MO existence changes the buoyancy force within the transition zone and facilitates slab stagnation at a depth of 660 km;(iii) as the subducting materials accumulated over 660 km,deepest earthquakes occur due to MO transformation;(iv) a flattened‘slab’ may penetrate into the lower mantle due to the density increment of Sp transformation.展开更多

Based on the kinematic wave theory and Van Aerde single-regime flow model, a model for estimating the congestion propagation speed for the basic road segment was developed. Historical traffic flow data were used to analyze the time variant characteristics of the urban traffic flow for each road type. Then, the saturation flow rate was used for analyzing the impact of the traffic incident on the traversing traffic flow at the congestion area. The base congestion propagation speed for each road type was calculated based on field data, which were provided by the remote traffic microwave sensors(RTMS), floating car data(FCD) system and screen line survey. According to a comparative analysis of the congestion propagation speed, it is found that the expressway, major arterial, minor arterial and collector are decreasingly influenced by the traffic incident. Subsequently, the impact of turning movements at intersections on the congestion propagation was considered. The turning ratio was adopted to represent the impact of turning movements, and afterward the corresponding propagation pattern at intersections was analyzed. Finally, an implementation system was designed on a geographic information system(GIS) platform to display the characteristics of the congestion propagation over the network. The validation results show that the proposed approach is able to capture the congestion propagation properties in the actual road network.展开更多

The emission database used in the model was measured by using portable emission measurement system (PEMS) under actual traffic conditions in the rural area, and the characteristics of the emission data were determined in relation to the driving kinematics (speed and acceleration) of the low-speed vehicle. The input of the emission model is driving cycle, and the model requires instantaneous vehicle speed and acceleration levels as input variables and uses them to interpolate the pollutant emission rate maps to calculate the transient pollutant emission rates, which will be accumulated to calculate the total emissions released during the whole driving cycle. And the vehicle fuel consumption was determined through the carbon balance method. The model predicted the emissions and fuel consumption of an in-use low-speed vehicle type model, which agreed well with the measured data.展开更多

The emphasis is on the finite element-related problems in the finite fault source modeling. A modified kinematic source model is presented, in which vibration with some high frequency components is introduced into the traditional slip time function to ensure that the source and ground motion include sufficient high frequency components. The model presented is verified through a simple modeling example. It is shown that the predicted near-fault ground motion field exhibits similar characteristics to those observed in strong motion records, such as the hanging wall effect, vertical effect, fling step effect and velocity pulse effect, etc.展开更多

It mainly consisted of planetary wheels to surmount obstacles,a transformable chassis and an averagely segmentation body. The mobile system of the robot was mainly designed while considering the chassis transformability; a deformable four-bar linkage was adopted,which could realize the robot's wheelbase conversion from storing to driving. To improve the wheels' capability of obstacle-climbing,planetary wheels were adopted. At the same time,passive adaptation to various terrains was considered in the body design and an averaging system was included,which ensured that the planetary wheels could land simultaneously in rugged grounds. The robot's steering mode was analyzed and its kinematics model was built,which provided the theoretical evidence for studying the robot motion control.展开更多

文摘For the purpose of investigating the influence of metastable olivine(MO) phase transformations on both deep seismicity and stagnation of slabs,we constructed a 2-dimensional finite element thermal model for a 120 Ma-old 50°dipping oceanic lithosphere descending at 10 cm/yr with velocity boundary layers,which would mitigate the interference of constant velocity field for the slab. The resulting temperatures show that most of intermediate and deep earthquakes occurring within the Tonga slab are occurring inside the 800℃and 1200℃isotherm,respectively.The elevation of olivine transformation near~410 km and respective persistence of metastable olivine and spinel within the transition zone and beneath 660 km would thus result in bimodal positive,zonal,negative density anomalies,respectively.These results together with the resulting pressure anomalies may reflect the stress pattern of the Tonga slab:(i) slab pull force exerts above a depth of~230 km;(ii) MO existence changes the buoyancy force within the transition zone and facilitates slab stagnation at a depth of 660 km;(iii) as the subducting materials accumulated over 660 km,deepest earthquakes occur due to MO transformation;(iv) a flattened‘slab’ may penetrate into the lower mantle due to the density increment of Sp transformation.

文摘A practical approach for predicting the congestion boundary due to traffic incidents was proposed. Based on the kinematic wave theory and Van Aerde single-regime flow model, a model for estimating the congestion propagation speed for the basic road segment was developed. Historical traffic flow data were used to analyze the time variant characteristics of the urban traffic flow for each road type. Then, the saturation flow rate was used for analyzing the impact of the traffic incident on the traversing traffic flow at the congestion area. The base congestion propagation speed for each road type was calculated based on field data, which were provided by the remote traffic microwave sensors(RTMS), floating car data(FCD) system and screen line survey. According to a comparative analysis of the congestion propagation speed, it is found that the expressway, major arterial, minor arterial and collector are decreasingly influenced by the traffic incident. Subsequently, the impact of turning movements at intersections on the congestion propagation was considered. The turning ratio was adopted to represent the impact of turning movements, and afterward the corresponding propagation pattern at intersections was analyzed. Finally, an implementation system was designed on a geographic information system(GIS) platform to display the characteristics of the congestion propagation over the network. The validation results show that the proposed approach is able to capture the congestion propagation properties in the actual road network.
文摘In the paper, the kinematic model of tectonic blocks in southwest China is studied based on the precision GPS observations carried out under the major subject of 'Studies on Current Crustal Movement and Geodynamics' which belongs to the State Climbing Project. It is believed that at present, the data of high precision GPS observation may provide convincing information related to the horizontal movement of tectonic blocks in the Chinese mainland. The preliminary results obtained from the kinematic model have given some direct evidences for the research of dynamic mechanism of crustal deformation in the Chinese mainland and on the basis of which, the kinematic characteristics and their relations to the seismicity and seismic risk in the reobserved region are analysed. The preliminary observation results are encouraging.

文摘An instantaneous emission model was developed to model and predict the real driving emissions of the low-speed vehicles. The emission database used in the model was measured by using portable emission measurement system (PEMS) under actual traffic conditions in the rural area, and the characteristics of the emission data were determined in relation to the driving kinematics (speed and acceleration) of the low-speed vehicle. The input of the emission model is driving cycle, and the model requires instantaneous vehicle speed and acceleration levels as input variables and uses them to interpolate the pollutant emission rate maps to calculate the transient pollutant emission rates, which will be accumulated to calculate the total emissions released during the whole driving cycle. And the vehicle fuel consumption was determined through the carbon balance method. The model predicted the emissions and fuel consumption of an in-use low-speed vehicle type model, which agreed well with the measured data.

文摘The stochastic finite-fault simulation method was applied to synthesize the horizontal ground acceleration seismograms produced by the MW6.1 Ludian earthquake on August 3,2014.For this purpose,we produced first a total of 200 kinematic source models for the Ludian event,which are characterized by the heterogeneous slip on the conjugated ruptured fault and the slip-dependent spreading of the rupture front.The results indicated that the heterogeneous slip and the spatial extent of the ruptured fault play dominant roles in the spatial distribution of ground motions in the near-fault area.The peak ground accelerations(PGAs)and 5%-damped pseudospectral accelerations(PSAs)at periods shorter than 0.5 s estimated on the resulting synthetics generally match well with the observations at stations with Joyner-Boore distances(RJB)greater than 20 km.The synthetic PGVs and PSAs at periods of 0.5 s and 0.75 s are in good agreement with predicted medians by the Yu14 model(Yu et al.,2014).However,the synthetic results are generally much lower than the predicted medians by BSSA14 model(Boore et al.,2014).Moreover,the ground motion variability caused by the randomness in the source rupture process was evaluated by these synthetics.The standard deviations of PSAs on the base-10 logarithmic scale,Sigma[log10(PSA)],are closely dependent on either the spectral period or the RJB.The Sigma[log10(PSA)]remains a constant approximately 0.55 at periods shorter than 0.1 s,and then increase continuously up to^0.13 as the period increases from 0.1 to 2.0 s.The Sigma[log10(PSA)]values at periods of 0.1‒2.0 s show the downward tendency as the RJB values increase.However,the Sigma[log10(PSA)]values at periods shorter than 0.1 s decrease as the RJB values increase up to^50 km,and then increase with the increasing RJB.Furthermore,we found that the ground-motion variability shows the significant dependence on the azimuth.
文摘Material removal is one of the most used processes in manufacturing. Five-axis CNC machines are believed to be the best tools in sculptured surface machining. In this study, a generic and unified kinematic model was developed as a viable alternative to the particular solutions that are only applicable to individual machine configurations. This versatile model is then used to verify the feasibility of the two rotational joints within the kinematic chain of three main types of a five-axis machine-tool. This versatile model is very useful applied to the design of five-axis machine tools.
文摘This paper briefly reviews the characteristics and major processes of the explicit finite element method in modeling the near-fault ground motion field. The emphasis is on the finite element-related problems in the finite fault source modeling. A modified kinematic source model is presented, in which vibration with some high frequency components is introduced into the traditional slip time function to ensure that the source and ground motion include sufficient high frequency components. The model presented is verified through a simple modeling example. It is shown that the predicted near-fault ground motion field exhibits similar characteristics to those observed in strong motion records, such as the hanging wall effect, vertical effect, fling step effect and velocity pulse effect, etc.

文摘In order to improve the robot's obstacle-climbing capability,a new bionic deformable planetary-wheeled robot based on the modular design was proposed. It mainly consisted of planetary wheels to surmount obstacles,a transformable chassis and an averagely segmentation body. The mobile system of the robot was mainly designed while considering the chassis transformability; a deformable four-bar linkage was adopted,which could realize the robot's wheelbase conversion from storing to driving. To improve the wheels' capability of obstacle-climbing,planetary wheels were adopted. At the same time,passive adaptation to various terrains was considered in the body design and an averaging system was included,which ensured that the planetary wheels could land simultaneously in rugged grounds. The robot's steering mode was analyzed and its kinematics model was built,which provided the theoretical evidence for studying the robot motion control.

文摘The complicated topographies of the deep sea pose significant challenges for the core drilling with the Jiaolong submersible manipulator.To address this problem,we proposed a core-drilling kinematic model and evaluated the core-drilling behavior of the submersible manipulator by comprehensively considering the uncertain posture of the Jiaolong submersible.First,we established a forward kinematic model for the core-drilling task in deep sea,which satisfied the requirement of gravitational-direction core drilling.Based on the forward kinematic equations,we then built a double-redundancy inverse kinematic model,which was able to determine the required motion trajectories of six active joints according to the desired core-drilling trajectory.The core-drilling workspaces and the motions of the Jiaolong submersible manipulator were assessed with several calculation examples.The established forward and inverse kinematic models are constructed with clear analytic equations,and thus are directly applicable to the Jiaolong submersible manipulator-based core-drilling task.

文摘A method for automatically establishing a mathematical model of kinematic analysis to a planar mechanism with multiple joint and prismatic pair is presented. The breadth ( or depth ) first search spanning tree can be obtained based on an adjacency matrix of the mechanism. Then the kinematic chain (or mechanism)'s basic loops can be obtained. On the basis of these basic loops, a mathematical model of kinematic analysis can be established and solved automatically. In the sense of a calculative mechanism, structural analysis of the kinematic chain relates to the kinematic analysis of a mechanism. Thus, an effective way is supplied to the given mechanism's kinematic analysis for automatic modeling and solving, and a method is supplied to the structural type to optimize kinematic synthesis.
