As the complexity of machine tools rises steadily, the automation of manufacture increases rapidly, processes become more integrated and cycle times have to be reduced significantly, challenges of engineering efficient machine tools with respect to these demands expand every day. Especially the manufacture of freeform geometries with non-continuous and asymmetric surfaces requires advanced diamond machining strategies involving highly dynamic axes movements with a high bandwidth and position accuracy. Ultra precision lathes additionally equipped with Slow Tool and Fast Tool systems can be regarded as state-of-the-art machines achieving the objectives of high quality optical components. The mechanical design of such ultra precision machine tools as well as the mechanical integration of additional highly dynamic axes are very well understood today. In contrast to that, neither advanced control strategies for ultra precision machining nor the control integration of additional Fast Tool systems have been sufficiently developed yet. Considering a complex machine setup as a mechatronic system, it becomes obvious that enhancements to further increase the achievable form accuracy and surface quality and at the same time decrease cycle times and error sensitivity can only be accomplished by innovative, integrated control systems. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT a novel, fully integrated control approach has been developed to overcome the drawbacks of state-of-the-art machine controls for ultra precision processes. Current control systems are often realized as decentralized solutions consisting of various computational hardware components for setpoint generation, machine control, HMI (human machine interface), Slow Tool control and Fast Tool control. While implementing such a distributed control strategy, many disadvantages arise in terms of complex communication interfaces, discontinuous safety structures, synchronization of cycle times and the machining accuracy as a whole. The novel control approach has been developed as a fully integrated machine control including standard CNC (computer numerical control) and PLC (programmable logic controller) functionality, advanced setpoint generation methods, an extended HMI as well as an FPGA (field programmable gate array)-based controller for a voice coil driven Slow Tool and a piezo driven Fast Tool axis. As the new control system has been implemented as a fully integrated platform using digital communication via EtherCAT, a continuous safety strategy could be realized, the error sensitivity and EMC susceptibility could be significantly decreased and the overall process accuracy from setpoint generation over path interpolation to axes movements could be enhanced. The novel control at the same time offers additional possibilities of automation, process integration, online data acquisition and evaluation as well as error compensation methods.展开更多

These systems provide a significant potential to enhance the comprehensive utilization and efficient management of energy resources. Therein, the real-time power balance between supply and demand has emerged as one pressing concern for system stability operation. However, current methods focus more on minute-level and hour-level power optimal scheduling methods applied in RIETES. To achieve real-time power balance, this paper proposes one virtual asynchronous machine(VAM) control using heat with large inertia and electricity with fast response speed. First, the coupling timescale model is developed that considers the dynamic response time scales of both electric and thermal energy systems. Second, a real-time power balance strategy based on VAM control can be adopted to the load power variation and enhance the dynamic frequency response. Then, an adaptive inertia control method based on temperature variation is proposed, and the unified expression is further established. In addition, the small-signal stability of the proposed control strategy is validated. Finally, the effectiveness of this control strategy is confirmed through MATLAB/Simulink and HIL(Hardware-in-the-Loop) experiments.展开更多

OMM uses a CNC machining center as a me asuring station by changing the tools into measuring probes such as touch-type, laser and vision. Although the measurement accuracy is not good compared to tha t of the CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine), there are distinctive advantages us ing OMM in real situation. In this paper, two topics are handled to show the eff ectiveness of the machining and measuring process integration: (1) inspection pl anning strategy for sculptured surface machining and (2) tool path compensation for profile milling process. For the first topic, as a first step, effective mea suring point locations are determined to obtain optimum results for given sampli ng numbers. Two measuring point selection methods are suggested based on the CAD /CAM/CAI integration concept: (1) by the prediction of cutting errors and (2) by considering cutter contact points to avoid the measurement errors caused by cus ps. As a next step, the TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem) algorithm is applied to minimize the probe moving distance. Appropriate simulations and experiments are performed to verify the proposed inspection planning strategy, and the results are analyzed. For the second topic, a methodology for profile milling error comp ensation is presented by using an ANN (Artificial Neural Network) model trained by the inspection database of OMM system. First, geometric and thermal errors of the machining center are compensated using a closed-loop configuration for the improvement of machining and inspection accuracy. The probing errors are also t aken into account. Then, a specimen workpiece is machined and then the machi ning surface error distribution is measured on the machine using touch-type pro be. In order to efficiently analyze the machining errors, two characteristic err or parameters (W err and D err) are defined. Subsequently, these param eters are modeled by applying the RFB (Radial Basis Function) network approach a s an ANN model. Based on the RBF network model, the tool paths are compensated i n order to effectively reduce the errors by employing an iterative algorithm. In order to validate the approaches proposed in this paper, a concrete case of the machining process is taken into account and about 90% of machining error reduction is successfully accomplished through the proposed approaches.展开更多

From this point of view, both CAD/CAM software and hardware are considered as tools. A great advantage of this view point is that a very flexible paradigm is introduced, in which the CAD/CAM system for a particular industrial application can be customized and built by selecting a set of tools. This paper intends to shed some lights on the principles for designing the architecture of such a tool integration environment. Although such an environment is no more than a computer program sys. tem itself, its particular characteristics arising from its unique role, i.e., tool integration, make the discussion on the designing of an environment architecture nontrivial. The paper externalizes the author's experiences in implementing an tool integration environment for production machines.In particular, the discussion renders some insights into the concepts such as tool integration models, various views of an environment architecture, classification of data into tool-data and environment data, and employment of the information relativity principle in making an environment architecture flexible. The paper will take production machines design as a target application that an environment system is developed for, owing to its extreme complexity and thus make sense of coverage of other engineering applications.展开更多

文摘Data protection in databases is critical for any organization,as unauthorized access or manipulation can have severe negative consequences.Intrusion detection systems are essential for keeping databases secure.Advancements in technology will lead to significant changes in the medical field,improving healthcare services through real-time information sharing.However,reliability and consistency still need to be solved.Safeguards against cyber-attacks are necessary due to the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information and potential data corruption.Dis-ruptions to data items can propagate throughout the database,making it crucial to reverse fraudulent transactions without delay,especially in the healthcare industry,where real-time data access is vital.This research presents a role-based access control architecture for an anomaly detection technique.Additionally,the Structured Query Language(SQL)queries are stored in a new data structure called Pentaplet.These pentaplets allow us to maintain the correlation between SQL statements within the same transaction by employing the transaction-log entry information,thereby increasing detection accuracy,particularly for individuals within the company exhibiting unusual behavior.To identify anomalous queries,this system employs a supervised machine learning technique called Support Vector Machine(SVM).According to experimental findings,the proposed model performed well in terms of detection accuracy,achieving 99.92%through SVM with One Hot Encoding and Principal Component Analysis(PCA).
文摘To meet the demands for highly advanced components with ultra precise contour accuracy and optical surface quality arising in the fields of photonics and optics, automotive, medical applications and biotechnology, consumer electronics and renewable energy, more advanced production machines and processes have to be developed. As the complexity of machine tools rises steadily, the automation of manufacture increases rapidly, processes become more integrated and cycle times have to be reduced significantly, challenges of engineering efficient machine tools with respect to these demands expand every day. Especially the manufacture of freeform geometries with non-continuous and asymmetric surfaces requires advanced diamond machining strategies involving highly dynamic axes movements with a high bandwidth and position accuracy. Ultra precision lathes additionally equipped with Slow Tool and Fast Tool systems can be regarded as state-of-the-art machines achieving the objectives of high quality optical components. The mechanical design of such ultra precision machine tools as well as the mechanical integration of additional highly dynamic axes are very well understood today. In contrast to that, neither advanced control strategies for ultra precision machining nor the control integration of additional Fast Tool systems have been sufficiently developed yet. Considering a complex machine setup as a mechatronic system, it becomes obvious that enhancements to further increase the achievable form accuracy and surface quality and at the same time decrease cycle times and error sensitivity can only be accomplished by innovative, integrated control systems. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT a novel, fully integrated control approach has been developed to overcome the drawbacks of state-of-the-art machine controls for ultra precision processes. Current control systems are often realized as decentralized solutions consisting of various computational hardware components for setpoint generation, machine control, HMI (human machine interface), Slow Tool control and Fast Tool control. While implementing such a distributed control strategy, many disadvantages arise in terms of complex communication interfaces, discontinuous safety structures, synchronization of cycle times and the machining accuracy as a whole. The novel control approach has been developed as a fully integrated machine control including standard CNC (computer numerical control) and PLC (programmable logic controller) functionality, advanced setpoint generation methods, an extended HMI as well as an FPGA (field programmable gate array)-based controller for a voice coil driven Slow Tool and a piezo driven Fast Tool axis. As the new control system has been implemented as a fully integrated platform using digital communication via EtherCAT, a continuous safety strategy could be realized, the error sensitivity and EMC susceptibility could be significantly decreased and the overall process accuracy from setpoint generation over path interpolation to axes movements could be enhanced. The novel control at the same time offers additional possibilities of automation, process integration, online data acquisition and evaluation as well as error compensation methods.
文摘Attacks on fully integrated servers,apps,and communication networks via the Internet of Things(IoT)are growing exponentially.Sensitive devices’effectiveness harms end users,increases cyber threats and identity theft,raises costs,and negatively impacts income as problems brought on by the Internet of Things network go unnoticed for extended periods.Attacks on Internet of Things interfaces must be closely monitored in real time for effective safety and security.Following the 1,2,3,and 4G cellular networks,the 5th generation wireless 5G network is indeed the great invasion of mankind and is known as the global advancement of cellular networks.Even to this day,experts are working on the evolution’s sixth generation(6G).It offers amazing capabilities for connecting everything,including gadgets and machines,with wavelengths ranging from 1 to 10 mm and frequencies ranging from 300 MHz to 3 GHz.It gives you the most recent information.Many countries have already established this technology within their border.Security is the most crucial aspect of using a 5G network.Because of the absence of study and network deployment,new technology first introduces new gaps for attackers and hackers.Internet Protocol(IP)attacks and intrusion will become more prevalent in this system.An efficient approach to detect intrusion in the 5G network using a Machine Learning algorithm will be provided in this research.This research will highlight the high accuracy rate by validating it for unidentified and suspicious circumstances in the 5G network,such as intruder hackers/attackers.After applying different machine learning algorithms,obtained the best result on Linear Regression Algorithm’s implementation on the dataset results in 92.12%on test data and 92.13%on train data with 92%precision.

文摘Fatigue performance is a serious concern for mechanical components subject to cyclical stresses,particularly where safety is paramount.The fatigue performance of components relies closely on their surface integrity because the fatigue cracks generally initiate from free surfaces.This paper reviewed the published data,which addressed the effects of machined surface integrity on the fatigue performance of metal workpieces.Limitations in existing studies and the future directions in anti-fatigue manufacturing field were proposed.The remarkable surface topography(e.g.,low roughness and few local defects and inclusions)and large compressive residual stress are beneficial to fatigue performance.However,the indicators that describe the effects of surface topography and residual stress accurately need further study and exploration.The effect of residual stress relaxation under cycle loadings needs to be precisely modeled precisely.The effect of work hardening on fatigue performance had two aspects.Work hardening could increase the material yield strength,thereby delaying crack nucleation.However,increased brittleness could accel-erate crack propagation.Thus,finding the effective control mechanism and method of work hardening is urgently needed to enhance the fatigue performance of machined components.The machining-induced metallurgical structure changes,such as white layer,grain refinement,dislocation,and martensitic transformation affect the fatigue performance of a workpiece significantly.However,the unified and exact conclusion needs to be investigated deeply.Finally,different surface integrity factors had complicated reciprocal effects on fatigue performance.As such,studying the comprehensive influence of surface integrity further and establishing the reliable prediction model of workpiece fatigue performance are meaningful for improving reliability of components and reducing test cost.

文摘During the drilling process,stick-slip vibration of the drill string is mainly caused by the nonlinear friction gen-erated by the contact between the drill bit and the rock.To eliminate the fatigue wear of downhole drilling tools caused by stick-slip vibrations,the Fractional-Order Proportional-Integral-Derivative(FOPID)controller is used to suppress stick-slip vibrations in the drill string.Although the FOPID controller can effectively suppress the drill string stick-slip vibration,its structure isflexible and parameter setting is complicated,so it needs to use the cor-responding machine learning algorithm for parameter optimization.Based on the principle of torsional vibration,a simplified model of multi-degree-of-freedom drill string is established and its block diagram is designed.The continuous nonlinear friction generated by cutting rock is described by the LuGre friction model.The adaptive learning strategy of genetic algorithm(GA),particle swarm optimization(PSO)and particle swarm optimization improved(IPSO)by arithmetic optimization(AOA)is used to optimize and adjust the controller parameters,and the drill string stick-slip vibration is suppressed to the greatest extent.The results show that:When slight drill string stick-slip vibration occurs,the FOPID controller optimized by machine learning algorithm has a good effect on suppressing drill string stick-slip vibration.However,the FOPID controller cannot get the drill string system which has fallen into serious stick-slip vibration(stuck pipe)out of trouble,and the machine learning algorithm is required to mark a large amount of data on adjacent Wells to train the model.Set a reasonable range of drilling parameters(weight on bit/drive torque)in advance to avoid severe stick-slip vibration(stuck pipe)in the drill string system.

文摘More and more uncertain factors in power systems and more and more complex operation modes of power systems put forward higher requirements for online transient stability assessment methods.The traditional modeldriven methods have clear physical mechanisms and reliable evaluation results but the calculation process is time-consuming,while the data-driven methods have the strong fitting ability and fast calculation speed but the evaluation results lack interpretation.Therefore,it is a future development trend of transient stability assessment methods to combine these two kinds of methods.In this paper,the rate of change of the kinetic energy method is used to calculate the transient stability in the model-driven stage,and the support vector machine and extreme learning machine with different internal principles are respectively used to predict the transient stability in the data-driven stage.In order to quantify the credibility level of the data-driven methods,the credibility index of the output results is proposed.Then the switching function controlling whether the rate of change of the kinetic energy method is activated or not is established based on this index.Thus,a newparallel integratedmodel-driven and datadriven online transient stability assessment method is proposed.The accuracy,efficiency,and adaptability of the proposed method are verified by numerical examples.

文摘The development of regional integrated electric-thermal energy systems(RIETES) is considered a promising direction for modern energy supply systems. These systems provide a significant potential to enhance the comprehensive utilization and efficient management of energy resources. Therein, the real-time power balance between supply and demand has emerged as one pressing concern for system stability operation. However, current methods focus more on minute-level and hour-level power optimal scheduling methods applied in RIETES. To achieve real-time power balance, this paper proposes one virtual asynchronous machine(VAM) control using heat with large inertia and electricity with fast response speed. First, the coupling timescale model is developed that considers the dynamic response time scales of both electric and thermal energy systems. Second, a real-time power balance strategy based on VAM control can be adopted to the load power variation and enhance the dynamic frequency response. Then, an adaptive inertia control method based on temperature variation is proposed, and the unified expression is further established. In addition, the small-signal stability of the proposed control strategy is validated. Finally, the effectiveness of this control strategy is confirmed through MATLAB/Simulink and HIL(Hardware-in-the-Loop) experiments.

文摘This paper presents an integration methodology for ma chining and measuring processes using OMM (On-Machine Measurement) technology b ased on CAD/CAM/CAI integration concept. OMM uses a CNC machining center as a me asuring station by changing the tools into measuring probes such as touch-type, laser and vision. Although the measurement accuracy is not good compared to tha t of the CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine), there are distinctive advantages us ing OMM in real situation. In this paper, two topics are handled to show the eff ectiveness of the machining and measuring process integration: (1) inspection pl anning strategy for sculptured surface machining and (2) tool path compensation for profile milling process. For the first topic, as a first step, effective mea suring point locations are determined to obtain optimum results for given sampli ng numbers. Two measuring point selection methods are suggested based on the CAD /CAM/CAI integration concept: (1) by the prediction of cutting errors and (2) by considering cutter contact points to avoid the measurement errors caused by cus ps. As a next step, the TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem) algorithm is applied to minimize the probe moving distance. Appropriate simulations and experiments are performed to verify the proposed inspection planning strategy, and the results are analyzed. For the second topic, a methodology for profile milling error comp ensation is presented by using an ANN (Artificial Neural Network) model trained by the inspection database of OMM system. First, geometric and thermal errors of the machining center are compensated using a closed-loop configuration for the improvement of machining and inspection accuracy. The probing errors are also t aken into account. Then, a specimen workpiece is machined and then the machi ning surface error distribution is measured on the machine using touch-type pro be. In order to efficiently analyze the machining errors, two characteristic err or parameters (W err and D err) are defined. Subsequently, these param eters are modeled by applying the RFB (Radial Basis Function) network approach a s an ANN model. Based on the RBF network model, the tool paths are compensated i n order to effectively reduce the errors by employing an iterative algorithm. In order to validate the approaches proposed in this paper, a concrete case of the machining process is taken into account and about 90% of machining error reduction is successfully accomplished through the proposed approaches.
文摘CAD/CAM integration is broadly viewed as tool integration. From this point of view, both CAD/CAM software and hardware are considered as tools. A great advantage of this view point is that a very flexible paradigm is introduced, in which the CAD/CAM system for a particular industrial application can be customized and built by selecting a set of tools. This paper intends to shed some lights on the principles for designing the architecture of such a tool integration environment. Although such an environment is no more than a computer program sys. tem itself, its particular characteristics arising from its unique role, i.e., tool integration, make the discussion on the designing of an environment architecture nontrivial. The paper externalizes the author's experiences in implementing an tool integration environment for production machines.In particular, the discussion renders some insights into the concepts such as tool integration models, various views of an environment architecture, classification of data into tool-data and environment data, and employment of the information relativity principle in making an environment architecture flexible. The paper will take production machines design as a target application that an environment system is developed for, owing to its extreme complexity and thus make sense of coverage of other engineering applications.

文摘Current formulation development strongly relies on trial-and-error experiments in the laboratory by pharmaceutical scientists,which is time-consuming,high cost and waste materials.This research aims to integrate various computational tools,including machine learning,molecular dynamic simulation and physiologically based absorption modeling(PBAM),to enhance andrographolide(AG)/cyclodextrins(CDs)formulation design.The light GBM prediction model we built before was utilized to predict AG/CDs inclusion's binding free energy.AG/γ-CD inclusion complexes showed the strongest binding affinity,which was experimentally validated by the phase solubility study.The molecular dynamic simulation was used to investigate the inclusion mechanism between AG andγ-CD,which was experimentally characterized by DSC,FTIR and NMR techniques.PBAM was applied to simulate the in vivo behavior of the formulations,which were validated by cell and animal experiments.Cell experiments revealed that the presence of D-α-Tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate(TPGS)significantly increased the intracellular uptake of AG in MDCKMDR1 cells and the absorptive transport of AG in MDCK-MDR1 monolayers.The relative bioavailability of the AG-CD-TPGS ternary system in rats was increased to 2.6-fold and 1.59-fold compared with crude AG and commercial dropping pills,respectively.In conclusion,this is the first time to integrate various computational tools to develop a new AG-CD-TPGS ternary formulation with significant improvement of aqueous solubility,dissolution rate and bioavailability.The integrated computational tool is a novel and robust methodology to facilitate pharmaceutical formulation design.
文摘Brittle materials are widely used for producing important components in the industry of optics,optoelectronics,and semiconductors.Ultraprecision machining of brittle materials with high surface quality and surface integrity helps improve the functional performance and lifespan of the components.According to their hardness,brittle materials can be roughly divided into hard-brittle and soft-brittle.Although there have been some literature reviews for ultraprecision machining of hard-brittle materials,up to date,very few review papers are available that focus on the processing of soft-brittle materials.Due to the‘soft’and‘brittle’properties,this group of materials has unique machining characteristics.This paper presents a comprehensive overview of recent advances in ultraprecision machining of soft-brittle materials.Critical aspects of machining mechanisms,such as chip formation,surface topography,and subsurface damage for different machining methods,including diamond turning,micro end milling,ultraprecision grinding,and micro/nano burnishing,are compared in terms of tool-workpiece interaction.The effects of tool geometries on the machining characteristics of soft-brittle materials are systematically analyzed,and dominating factors are sorted out.Problems and challenges in the engineering applications are identified,and solutions/guidelines for future R&D are provided.
