Effect of power frequency excitation character on ferroresonance in neutral-grounded system

In most earlier ferroresonance studies the traditional excitation characteristic of iron core, in which the traditional excitation characteristic contains harmonic voltages or currents, has been used as if it were made up of pure fundamental voltage or current. However, this is not always true. In comparison with traditional excitation characteristics, this paper introduces the power frequency excitation characteristic of the iron core, which contains no harmonics. The power frequency excitation characteristic of iron core has been obtained by Elector Magnetic Transient Program, resulting in discrete voltage and current pairs. Extensive simulations are carried out to analyse the effect of power frequency excitation characteristic on potential transformer ferroresonance. A detailed analysis of simulation results demonstrates that with power frequency excitation characteristic of iron core inclusion at certain excitation voltage the ferroresonance may happen, conversely it may not happen with traditional excitation characteristic inclusion.

Effect of DBD plasma excitation characteristics on turbulent separation over a hump model

In this paper, the effect of dielectric-barrier discharge plasma excitation characteristics on turbulent boundary layer separation over a hump is investigated using computational fluid dynamics. Four different turbulence models were used for verification. The Reynolds stress model showed the best agreement with the experimental data, in general. Based on the verification and validation, the effect of duty cycle and excitation frequency on the turbulent flow separation were investigated. The results showed that the pulsed plasma excitation could effectively suppress the flow separation by mixing augmentation. With increasing duty cycle and excitation frequency, the flow separation first increased, then decreased again. The optimal duty cycle was 0.75 and the optimal excitation frequency was 50 Hz.

Effect of gas pressure on ion energy at substrate side of Ag target radio-frequency and very-high-frequency magnetron sputtering discharge

The effect of gas pressure on ion energy distribution at the substrate side of Ag target radio-frequency(RF)and very-high-frequency(VHF)magnetron sputtering discharge was investigated.At lower pressure,the evolution of maximum ion energy(E)with discharge voltage(V)varied with the excitation frequency,due to the joint contribution of the ion generation in the bulk plasma and the ion movement across the sheath related to the ion transit sheath timeτiand RF periodτRF.At higher pressure,the evolution of E–V relationships did not vary with the excitation frequency,due to the balance between the energy lost through collisions and the energy gained by acceleration in the electric field.Therefore,for RF and VHF magnetron discharge,lower gas pressure can have a clear influence on the E–V relationship.

Rock fragmentation mechanisms and an experimental study of drilling tools during high-frequency harmonic vibration

Resonance drilling is a new technology, still at the laboratory stage. It has great potential to improve rock fragmentation efficiency. We analyzed the amplitude-frequency characteristics of steady- state mechanical vibration excited by harmonic vibration in rocks and an apparatus was built to achieve high fi＇equency vibration of rock. The influence of rock drillability, rotary speed, excitation frequency, and other parameters on the rate of penetration （ROP） in resonance drilling was analyzed. The results show that the rock drillability decreased with an increase in excitation frequency. When drilling with a large size drill bit, the ROP increased with excitation frequency. The ROP reached a maximum value at the resonant frequency of the rock. Tile ROP of the bit increased linearly with rotary speed when no vibration was applied on the rock and increased approximately exponentially when harmonic vibration was applied. In addition, the resonant frequency of the rock was changing during the process of rock fi＇agmentation, so in order to achieve tile desired resonance of the rock, it is necessary to detemaine an appropriate hamlonic vibration excitation frequency.

Simulation applied to working frequency selection in large-scale vi- brating screen＇s design

The working frequency selection of the ZK30525 vibrating screen was studied using ANSYS. Integrating the dynamic performance simulation analysis of the vibrating screen structure, the variation laws of beams＇ vibration displacements changing with different exciting frequencies were researched. These beams include six beams, with one discharging beam and one in-material beam. Results indicate that vibration displacements in the middle of these beams increase with the augmenta- tion of exciting frequency. When exciting frequency exceeds a certain value, there exists a flat change region for vibration displacement. According to vibrator characteristics, the vibrating screen＇s working frequency should be selected in the flat change region, and be far away from modal frequencies. The study provides theoretical guidance for the reasonable working frequency selection of the large-scale vibrating screen.

Collective Excitations and Nonlinear Dynamics of 1D BEC with Two-and Three-body Interactions in Anharmonic Traps

The collective excitations of low-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates with two- and three-body interactions in anharmonic potentials are investigated. Using the standard variational approach, the governing equations of motions for the low-energy excitations are obtained by solving time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii-Ginzburg equation, and the excitation spectrums are calculated in small amplitude limit. The frequency shift and nonlinear mode coupling induced by the anharmonic distortion （adding cubic, quartic, or quintic terra to a harmonic trap） are studied.

REGULARITY OF VIBRATION RESPONSE OF MECHANICAL SYSTEM UNDER AFFECT OF VARI-FREQUENCY EXCITING FORCE

The vibration response formulas of the mechanical system under the affect of thevari-frequency exciting force are deduced. It is proved by the theoretical analysis and experimentalresults that the vibration response amplitude of the mechanical system under the affect of thevari-frequency exciting force is far smaller than that under the affect of the constant frequency exciting force on condition that the exciting force amplitudes are just the same;while the vari-fre-quency rate a increases to 5 Hz per second the vibration amplitude will decrease to 10% only as lowas that under the affect of the constant frequency exciting force. All these conclusions will be of significance for revealing the mechanism of suppressing chatter in van-speed cutting and analyzing theexperimental results of sine-wave scanning exciting test.

Violent Transient Sloshing-Wave Interaction with a Baffle in a Three-Dimensional Numerical Tank

A finite difference model for solving Navier Stokes viscous liquid sloshing-wave interaction with baffles in a tank. equations with turbulence taken into accotmt is used to investigate The volume-of-fluid and virtual boundary force methods are employed to simulate free surface flow interaction with structures. A liquid sloshing experimental apparatus was established to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed model, as well as to study nonlinear sloshing in a prismatic tank with the baffles. Damping effects of sloshing in a rectangular tank with bottom-mounted vertical baffles and vertical baffles touching the free surface are studied numerically and experimentally. Good agreement is obtained between the present numerical results and experimental data. The numerical results match well with the current experimental data for strong nonlinear sloshing with large free surface slopes. The reduction in sloshing-wave elevation and impact pressure induced by the bottom-mounted vertical baffle and the vertical baffle touching the free surface is estimated by varying the external excitation frequency and the location and height of the vertical baffle under horizontal excitation.

Theoretical and experimental study of phase optimization of tapping mode atomic force microscope

Phase image in tapping-mode atomic force microscope(TM-AFM)results from various dissipations in a microcantilever system.The phases mainly reflect the tip-sample contact dissipations which allow the nanoscale characteristics to be distinguished from each other.In this work,two factors affecting the phase and phase contrast are analyzed.It is concluded from the theoretical and experimental results that the phases and phase contrasts in the TM-AFM are related to the excitation frequency and energy dissipation of the system.For a two-component blend,it is theoretically and experimentally proven that there exists an optimal excitation frequency for maximizing the phase contrast.Therefore,selecting the optimal excitation frequency can potentially improve the phase contrast results.In addition,only the key dissipation between the tip and sample is found to accurately reflect the sample properties.Meanwhile,the background dissipation can potentially reduce the contrasts of the phase images and even mask or distort the effective information in the phase images.In order to address the aforementioned issues,a self-excited method is adopted in this study in order to eliminate the effects of the background dissipation on the phases.Subsequently,the real phase information of the samples is successfully obtained.It is shown in this study that the eliminating of the background dissipation can effectively improve the phase contrast results and the real phase information of the samples is accurately reflected.These results are of great significance in optimizing the phases of two-component samples and multi-component samples in atomic force microscope.

Experimental Study of the Unsteady Actuation Effect on Induced Flow Characteristics in DBD Plasma Actuators

The main aim of this paper is to investigate unsteady actuation effects on the operation of dielectric barrier discharge （DBD） plasma actuators and to study induced flow characteristics of steady and unsteady actuators in quiescent air. The parameters affecting the operation of unsteady plasma actuators were experimentally measured and compared with the ones for steady actuators. The effects of excitation frequency and duty cycle on the induced flow pattern properties were studied by means of hot-wire anemometers, and the smoke visualization method was also used. It was observed that the current and the mean induced velocity linearly increase with increasing duty cycle while they are not sensitive to excitation frequency. Furthermore, with increasing excitation frequency, the magnitude of vortices shedding from the actuator decreases while their frequency increases. Nevertheless, when the excitation frequency grows beyond a certain level, the induced flow downstream of the actuator behaves as a steady flow. However, the results for steady actuators show that by increasing the applied voltage and carrier frequency, the velocity of the induced flow first increases and then decreases with actuator saturation and the onset of the emission of streaky glow discharge.

Dynamic response of electromagnetic launcher's rail subjected to harmonic magnetic pressure

In order to extend the rail life and improve the firing accuracy,the electromagnetic launcher's rail can be modeled as a beam on elastic foundation with simply supported beam with moving load.Euler beam theory is applied to build the mechanical model and the analytical solution of the equation subjected to harmonic magnetic pressure is derived in details,which has successfully avoided the errors caused by using the uniform pressure to approximately replace the variable force.Numerical analysis of the dynamic response on rail by using the MATLAB software shows that the peak values of maximal deflection and vibration velocity increase gradually as the exciting frequency increases.Taking the same speed of load into account,the dynamic response of rail is obviously smaller than that under constant force.Therefore the reliable theory basis is provided for the design and control of rail to promote the practical application of electromagnetic launcher.

Numerical Investigation on Effectiveness of Flow Separation Control in Two-dimensional High-load Compressor Cascade by Synthetic Jet

The effectiveness of flow separation control in two-dimensional high load cascade by synthetic jet is investigated through numerical simulation of the effect of excitation frequency and amplitude together with the adaptability of synthetic jet to off-design conditions. Test results indicate that synthetic jet can be used to effectively control the large-scale two-dimensional flow separation in compressor cascade. Preferable results can be obtained when excitation frequency is close to or times of the characteristic frequency of original flow field. Excitation amplitude has a more important effect on the effectiveness of flow separation control, and the increase in excitation amplitude can bring about a dramatic decrease in the loss of total pressure. Synthetic jet has also a very good adaptability to off-design conditions. It can therefore be concluded that the incidence sensitivity of compressor cascade can be effectively reduced by synthetic jet.

Forced vibration control of an axially moving beam with an attached nonlinear energy sink

This paper investigates a highly efficient and promising control method for forced vibration control of an axially moving beam with an attached nonlinear energy sink（NES）.Because of the axial velocity,external force and external excitation frequency,the beam undergoes a high-amplitude vibration.The Galerkin method is applied to discretize the dynamic equations of the beam–NES system.The steady-state responses of the beams with an attached NES and with nothing attached are acquired by numerical simulation.Furthermore,the fast Fourier transform（FFT）is applied to get the amplitude–frequency responses.From the perspective of frequency domain analysis,it is explained that the NES has little effect on the natural frequency of the beam.Results confirm that NES has a great potential to control the excessive vibration.
