Vibration Analysis and Fatigue Assessment of Floors.Part II:Mechanical Equipment

Floors subjected to mechanical equipment loads frequently present problems associated with excessive vibration which can cause human discomfort or even reduce the structure service life.In this context,this work aims to develop an analysis methodology in order to assess the fatigue performance of steel-concrete composite floors,when subjected to vibrations induced by mechanical equipment.The studied structural model corresponds to a steel-concrete composite floor spanning 10 m by 10 m,with a total area of 100 m^(2).The numerical model developed for the dynamic analysis adopted the usual mesh refinement techniques present in finite element method(FEM)simulations implemented in the ANSYS program.The investigated floor dynamic response was calculated through the consideration of the dynamic loadings imposed by the mechanical equipment,simulated based on the use of harmonic forces applied on the concrete slabs.Furthermore,the dynamic structural response was performed considering several scenarios for the positioning of the equipment,in order to verify the occurrence of excessive vibration.The fatigue assessment is based on a linear cumulative damage rule through the use of the Rainflow-counting algorithm and S-N curves from traditional design codes.The results of this investigation indicated that the equipment position affects directly the floor dynamic structural response and also significantly influences the structure service life.

Application of Transfer Learningin Mechanical Equipment Intelligent Diagnosis:Literature Review

Accelerating the process of intelligent manufacturing and the demand for new industrial productivity,the operating conditions of machinery and equipment have become ever more severe.As an important link to ensure the stable operation of the production process,the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of equipment have become equally important.The fault diagnosis of equipment in actual production is often challenged by variable working conditions,large differences in data distribution,and lack of labeled samples,etc.Traditional fault diagnosis methods are often difficult to achieve ideal results in these complex environments.Transfer learning(TL)as an emerging technology can effectively utilize existing knowledge and data to improve the diagnostic performance.Firstly,this paper analyzes the trend of mechanical equipment fault diagnosis and explains the basic concept of TL.Then TL based on parameters,TL based on features,TL based on instances and domain adaptive(DA)methods are summarized and analyzed in terms of existing TL methods.Finally,the problems faced in the current TL research are summarized and the future development trend is pointed out.This review aims to help researchers in related fields understand the latest progress of TL and promote the application and development of TL in mechanical equipment diagnosis.

Research on Cutting Force of Ultrasonic Diamond Wire Saw

Based on impulse and vibration machining theories,a mathematical model of cutting force for the electroplated diamond ultrasonic wire saw was established using superposition principle.The differences between the cutting forces with and without ultrasonic effect were analyzed theoretically and experimentally.The results indicate that the cutting force of diamond wire increases along with the spindle speed decrease and the lateral pressure increase.The force in ultrasonic vibration cutting is about 20% to 30% less than that in conventional cutting.Also,the cutting trajectory of single diamond grit in sawing process is simulated,and the reason that the ultrasonic vibration can reduce the cutting force is explained further.

A novel combination belief rule base model for mechanical equipment fault diagnosis

Due to the excellent performance in complex systems modeling under small samples and uncertainty,Belief Rule Base(BRB)expert system has been widely applied in fault diagnosis.However,the fault diagnosis process for complex mechanical equipment normally needs multiple attributes,which can lead to the rule number explosion problem in BRB,and limit the efficiency and accuracy.To solve this problem,a novel Combination Belief Rule Base(C-BRB)model based on Directed Acyclic Graph(DAG)structure is proposed in this paper.By dispersing numerous attributes into the parallel structure composed of different sub-BRBs,C-BRB can effectively reduce the amount of calculation with acceptable result.At the same time,a path selection strategy considering the accuracy of child nodes is designed in C-BRB to obtain the most suitable submodels.Finally,a fusion method based on Evidential Reasoning(ER)rule is used to combine the belief rules of C-BRB and generate the final results.To illustrate the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method,a case study of fault diagnosis of rolling bearing is conducted,and the result is compared with other methods.

Investigation of high-speed abrasion behavior of an abradable seal rubber in aero-engine fan application

Abradable seal rubber has been widely used in aero-engine fans to improve their efficiency by reducing the clearance between rotating and stationary components. To investigate the high-speed scraping behavior between a vulcanized silicone rubber and a Ti-6Al-4V fan blade and evaluate the abradable performance of seal rubber, abrasion tests were conducted at a blade tip velocity of 50–300 m/s with an incursion rate of 100 lm/s. The influences of the blade tip velocity on the wear mechanism and interaction forces were specially analyzed. It is shown that abrasive wear and pattern wear are the predominant wear mechanisms, and pattern wear can be seen as the emergence and propagation of cracks. With an increase of the blade tip velocity, both of the final incursion depth and wear mass loss of seal rubber exhibit growth trends. The gradual changes of rubbing forces with an increase of rubbing time are the characteristic of abrasive wear, and force curves with unstable mutations are a reflection of pattern wear. At a constant incursion rate of 100 lm/s, the maximum values of interaction forces decrease first and then grow with an increase of the blade tip velocity, and the blade tip velocity of 150 m/s becomes the cut-off point between abrasive wear and pattern wear.

A 2-dimensional impact driven precise actuator using piezoelectric bimorphs

A new precise actuator is proposed,which is ac-tuated by the impact force of an end-loaded piezoelectric bimorph cantilever,and bears two degrees of freedom for translation and rotation.The dynamic characteristics of the piezoelectric bimorph were analyzed by FEM,and are fur-ther proved by experimental tests.A new control system for the actuator was put forward and tested,which is called the fixed-frequency with adjustable voltage.In addition,the actuator’s performance of translation and rotation were both measured.The results demonstrate that the actuator is char-acterized by a simple structure,large movement range,strong driving ability and high positioning resolution.Its cost is estimated at only 1%of the traditional impact actuators.
