Development of High-Speed On-Of Valves and Their Applications

With the widespread application of the computer and microelectronic technology in the industry,digitization becomes the inevitable developing trend of the hydraulic technology.Digitization of the hydraulic components is critical in the digital hydraulic technology.High-speed on-of valves(HSVs)which convert a train of input pulses into the fast and accurate switching between the on and of states belong to widely used basic digital hydraulic elements.In some ways,the characteristics of the HSVs determine the performance of the digital hydraulic systems.This paper discusses the development of HSVs and their applications.First,the HSVs with innovative structures which is classifed into direct drive valves and pilot operated valves are discussed,with the emphasis on their performance.Then,an overview of HSVs with intelligent materials is presented with considering of the switching frequency and fow capacity.Finally,the applications of the HSVs are reviewed,including digital hydraulic components with the integration of the HSVs and digital hydraulic systems controlled by the HSVs.

A survey of high-speed high-resolution current steering DACs

Digital to analog converters(DAC)play an important role as a bridge connecting the analog world and the digital world.With the rapid development of wireless communication,wideband digital radar,and other emerging technologies,better performing high-speed high-resolution DACs are required.In those applications,signal bandwidth and high-frequency linearity often limited by data converters are the bottleneck of the system.This article reviews the state-of-the-art technologies of high-speed and high-resolution DACs reported in recent years.Comparisons are made between different architectures,circuit implementations and calibration techniques along with the figure of merit(FoM)results.

Mirror-assisted multi-view high-speed digital image correlation for dual-surface dynamic deformation measurement

Based on the recently proposed mirror-assisted multi-view digital image correlation(MV-DIC),we establish a cost-effective and easy-to-implement mirror-assisted multi-view high-speed digital image correlation(MVHS-DIC)method and explore its applications for dual-surface full-field dynamic deformation measurement.In contrast to the general requirement of four expensive high-speed cameras for dual-surface dynamic deformation field measurement,the established mirror-assisted MVHS-DIC halves the cost by involving only two synchronized high-speed cameras and two planar mirrors.The two synchronized high-speed cameras can dynamically measure the front and rear surfaces of a sheet sample simultaneously through the reflection of the two mirrors.The results on the two surfaces are then transformed into the same coordinate system,leading to the required dual-surface 3D dynamical deformation fields.The effectiveness and accuracy of the established system are validated through modal tests of a cantilever aluminum sheet.The vibration measurement of a drum and dual-surface transient deformation measurement of a smartphone in the drop-collision process further prove its practicability.Benefiting from the attractive advantages of multi-view dynamic deformation measurement in a cost-efficient way,the established mirror-assisted MVHS-DIC is expected to encourage more comprehensive dynamic mechanical behavior characterization of regular-sized materials and structures in vibration and impact engineering fields.

High-speed playback of spatiotemporal division multiplexing holographic 3D video stored in a solid-state drive using a digital micromirror device

We propose a high-speed playback method for the spatiotemporal division multiplexing electroholographic three-dimensional(3D)video stored in a solid-state drive(SSD)using a digital micromirror device.The spatiotemporal division multiplexing electroholography prevents deterioration in the reconstructed 3D video from a 3D object comprising many object points.In the proposed method,the stored data is remarkably reduced using the packing technique,and the computer-generated holograms are played back at high speed.Consequently,we successfully reconstructed a clear 3D video of a 3D object comprising approximately 1,100,000 points at 60 frames per second by reducing the reading time of the stored data from an SSD.

柴油、甲醇和水三组元乳化液滴微爆过程的研究

分别采用激光全息摄影技术和高速数字摄影技术观察了柴油、甲醇和水乳化液喷雾在高温高压(773 K,3.1 MPa)环境中发生微爆现象的瞬间和全过程,证实了微爆现象的存在.由于微爆机理的复杂性,尚难以用数学方法准确描述该过程.实验分析表明:若环境温度处于“最佳温度”范围内,乳化液滴表面首先形成“无水层”,液滴内部形成一个水滴的概率很小,可能形成几个相对较大的水滴,只要其中一个较大水滴的蒸汽压力大于液滴的表面张力和环境压力之和,液滴就有可能发生微爆,微爆不仅与液滴直径、组分的质量分数和组分间的沸点差等乳化液的本身特性有关,而且环境温度和压力的影响也不容忽视.该研究可以为乳化液喷雾微爆过程的数学模拟提供参考.

A novel architecture of electro-hydrostatic actuator with digital distribution

To address the flow imbalance rapidly of the asymmetric Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator(EHA),this paper presents a novel architecture of asymmetric EHA with the Digital Distribution(EHA-DD).It also improves the flow nonlinearity and control accuracy of the pump,especially in the low-speed condition.The digital distribution with two High-Speed on–off Valves(HSVs)not only balances flow instead of the check valves,but also replaces the pump at the low-speed to control output flow by adjusting the PWM signal.The pump and HSVs are the crucial components to control flow output.Firstly,the flow calculation models of the pump and the duty ratio inversed model of the HSV are obtained through experimental tests and the identification method.To get the control input signal for the required flow,the pump speed and PWM duty ratio for the HSVs are inversed to compensate for flow output.Further,a multimode digital flow distribution control method based on pump speed,mainly including the pump-controlled mode for large flow demand and valve-controlled mode for little flow demand,is proposed to control the accurate flow output actively.The step extension experiments based on the flow calculation models are conducted on the EHA-DD prototype under elastic,opposite varying load.The results demonstrate that the EHADD realizes little position error by accurate flow control,and it is also beneficial to improve the service life of the pump.

Development of a novel two-stage proportional valve with a pilot digital flow distribution

Pilot two-stage proportional valves are widely used in high-power hydraulic systems. For the purpose of improving the dynamic performance, reliability, and digitization of the traditional proportional valve, a novel two-stage proportional valve with a pilot digital flow distribution is proposed from the viewpoint of the dual nozzle-flapper valve’s working principle. In particular, the dual nozzle-flapper is decoupled by two high-speed on/off valves (HSVs). First, the working principle and mathematical model of the proposed valve are determined. Then, the influences of the control parameters (duty cycle and switching frequency) and structural parameters (fixed orifice’s diameter and main valve’s spring) on the main valve’s motion are analyzed on the basis of theory, simulation, and experiment. In addition, in optimizing the value of the fixed orifice’s diameter, a new design criterion that considers the maximum pressure sensitivity, flow controllability, and flow linearization is proposed to improve the balance between the effective displacement and the displacement fluctuation of the main valve. The new scheme is verified by simulations and experiments. Experimental results of the closed-loop displacement tracking have demonstrated that the delay time of the main valve is always within 3.5 ms under different working conditions, and the tracking error can be significantly reduced using the higher switching frequency. The amplitude–frequency experiments indicate that a −3 dB-frequency of the proposed valve can reach 9.5 Hz in the case of ±50% full scale and 15 Hz in the case of 0%–50% full scale. The values can be further improved by increasing the flow rate of the pilot HSV.

Non-contact optical dynamic measurements at different ranges:a review

Optical dynamic measurements are widely used for non-contact vibration,continuous deformation,or moving objects.Various measurement techniques were developed for different deformation amplitudes.This paper reviews three types of technique for different measurement ranges:interferometric techniques for deformation or vibration(nanometer to submillimeter amplitude)whose measurement accuracies rely on phase extraction of interferometric signal;imaging based techniques for deformation or vibration(micrometer to centimeter amplitude)with the aid of moire,structured light,and man-made speckles,whose sensitivities is from 1/100 to 1/10 pixel;and videometrics for large deformation or movement detection(greater than centimeter amplitude).Many research groups have improved measurement capabilities for these three techniques to meet particular industrial application requirements.
