Improved Quality Prediction Model for Multistage Machining Process Based on Geometric Constraint Equation

Product variation reduction is critical to improve process efficiency and product quality, especially for multistage machining process（MMP）. However, due to the variation accumulation and propagation, it becomes quite difficult to predict and reduce product variation for MMP. While the method of statistical process control can be used to control product quality, it is used mainly to monitor the process change rather than to analyze the cause of product variation. In this paper, based on a differential description of the contact kinematics of locators and part surfaces, and the geometric constraints equation defined by the locating scheme, an improved analytical variation propagation model for MMP is presented. In which the influence of both locator position and machining error on part quality is considered while, in traditional model, it usually focuses on datum error and fixture error. Coordinate transformation theory is used to reflect the generation and transmission laws of error in the establishment of the model. The concept of deviation matrix is heavily applied to establish an explicit mapping between the geometric deviation of part and the process error sources. In each machining stage, the part deviation is formulized as three separated components corresponding to three different kinds of error sources, which can be further applied to fault identification and design optimization for complicated machining process. An example part for MMP is given out to validate the effectiveness of the methodology. The experiment results show that the model prediction and the actual measurement match well. This paper provides a method to predict part deviation under the influence of fixture error, datum error and machining error, and it enriches the way of quality prediction for MMP.

One-Dimensional Optimal System and Similarity Reductions of Wu–Zhang Equation

The one-dimensional optimal system for the Lie symmetry group of the(2+1)-dimensional Wu–Zhan equation is constructed by the general and systematic approach. Based on the optimal system, the complete and inequivalent symmetry reduction systems are presented in the form of table. It is noteworthy that a new Painlev integrable equation with constant coefficient is in the table besides the classic Boussinesq equation and the steady cas of the Wu–Zhang equation.

Damping Solitary Wave in a Three-Dimensional Rectangular Geometry Plasma

The solitary waves of a viscous plasma confined in a cuboid under the three types of boundary condition are theoretically investigated in the present paper.By introducing a threedimensional rectangular geometry and employing the reductive perturbation theory,a quasi-Kd V equation is derived in the viscous plasma and a damping solitary wave is obtained.It is found that the damping rate increases as the viscosity coefficient increases,or increases as the length and width of the rectangle decrease,for all kinds of boundary condition.Nevertheless,the magnitude of the damping rate is dominated by the types of boundary condition.We thus observe the existence of a damping solitary wave from the fact that its amplitude disappears rapidly for a → 0and b → 0,or ν→ ＋∞.

Dust Acoustic Shock Waves with Non-Thermal and Vortex-Like Ions in Dusty Plasma

A rigorous investigation is presented on the propagation characteristics of non-linear dust acoustic（DA）waves in an unmagnetized dusty plasma system containing non-thermal and vortex-like ions and Maxwellian electrons under the effect of a fluctuating charged dust fluid.The three-dimensional（3D）Burgers＇equation and a new form of a lower degree modified 3D Burgers＇equation with their analytical solutions are derived to study the features of shock waves in such plasmas.The effect of the population of non-thermal ions,the vortex-like ion parameter as well as the temperature ratios of ions and electrons on the evolution of shock waves in the presence of dust charge fluctuation is presented.This theoretical investigation might be effectively utilized to unveil the nature of many astrophysical plasma environments（Saturn＇s spokes etc.）where such plasmas are reported to have existed.

Lie Symmetry Analysis and Conservation Laws of a Generalized Time Fractional Foam Drainage Equation

In this paper, a generalized time fractional nonlinear foam drainage equation is investigated by means of the Lie group analysis method. Based on the Riemann–Liouville derivative, the Lie point symmetries and symmetry reductions of the equation are derived, respectively. Furthermore, conservation laws with two kinds of independent variables of the equation are performed by making use of the nonlinear self-adjointness method.

CTE Solvability, Nonlocal Symmetry and Explicit Solutions of Modified Boussinesq System

A consistent tanh expansion(CTE) method is used to study the modified Boussinesq equation. It i proved that the modified Boussinesq equation is CTE solvable. The soliton-cnoidal periodic wave is explicitly given by a nonanto-BT theorem. Furthermore, the nonlocal symmetry for the modified Boussinesq equation is obtained by th Painlev′e analysis. The nonlocal symmetry is localized to the Lie point symmetry by introducing one auxiliary dependen variable. The finite symmetry transformation related with the nonlocal symemtry is obtained by solving the initia value problem of the prolonged systems. Thanks to the localization process, many interaction solutions among soliton and other complicated waves are computed through similarity reductions. Some special concrete soliton-cnoidal wav interaction behaviors are studied both in analytical and graphical ways.

Nonlinear Dust Acoustic Waves in Dissipative Space Dusty Plasmas with Superthermal Electrons and Nonextensive Ions

The nonlinear characteristics of the dust acoustic(DA)waves are studied in a homogeneous,collisionless,unmagnetized,and dissipative dusty plasma composed of negatively charged dusty grains,superthermal electrons,and nonextensive ions.Sagdeev pseudopotential technique has been employed to study the large amplitude DA waves.It(Sagdeev pseudopotential)has an evidence for the existence of compressive and rarefractive solitons.The global features of the phase portrait are investigated to understand the possible types of solutions of the Sagdeev form.On the other hand,the reductive perturbation technique has been used to study small amplitude DA waves and yields the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers(Kd V-Burgers)equation that exhibits both soliton and shock waves.The behavior of the obtained results of both large and small amplitude is investigated graphically in terms of the plasma parameters like dust kinematic viscosity,superthermal and nonextensive parameters.
