In order to ensure the safety of the transmission towers and the safe operation of transmission systems, it is imperative to carry out research on the anti-deformation performance of transmission towers. In our study, we performed experiments on the anti-deformation performance of a transmission tower in a subsidence area on a scale model with a geometric scale ratio of 1:5 and analyzed the failure mechanism of the tower members. The results show that, when the axial distance between two supports changes, destabilization failure most likely occurs in the members of the bottom transverse layer because some parts of the main diagonal member bars yield under the action of compression. The failure mechanism of the tower members basically coincides with the lever principle.展开更多

Hence, it is bad for video service transmission. Considering that video is very sensitive to packet delivery delay but can tolerate some packet losses, we propose a novel cross-layer scheme which takes these two characteristics into consideration. Firstly, the maximum number of retransmissions for a video Medium Access Control (MAC) frame is computed in MAC layer according to video frame rate requirement of application layer and current access delay of MAC layer. Secondly, within the margin of the tolerant Packet Loss Rate (PLR) of application layer, several video MAC frames are allowed to drop so that we can adaptively select the transmission rate as high as possible for the rest of video MAC frames in terms of current channel quality and the maximum number of retransmissions. Experiment results show that the proposed method can reduce the delay and jitter of video service and improve the throughputs of fast hosts. Therefore, it increases the quality of reconstructed video to a certain extent and relieves the performance anomaly of network effectively.展开更多

Sinusoidal signals with a frequency range of 100 Hz to 10 k Hz and an interval of 100 Hz are used to measure transmission characteristics of channels with lengths of 300 m, 800 m, 1300 m, and 1800 m. The correctness of the fitted channel characteristics by transmitting square wave, composite waves of different frequencies, and ASK modulation are verified. The results show that when the frequency of the signal is below 1500 Hz, the channel has very little effect on the signal. The signal compensated for amplitude and phase at the receiver is not as good as the uncompensated signal.Alternatively, when the signal frequency is above 1500 Hz, the channel distorts the signal. The quality of signal compensated for amplitude and phase at receiver is better than that of the uncompensated signal. Thus, we can select the appropriate frequency for XCTD system and the appropriate way to process the received signals. Signals below1500 Hz can be directly used at the receiving end. Signals above 1500 Hz are used after amplitude and phase compensation at the receiving end.展开更多

Packet delay and throughput are commonly employed as assessment criterions to determine whether a new connection can be admitted into the WLAN. Considering the real network condition, the analytical model is presented in this paper, which is aimed to evaluate the packet delay and throughput performance of IEEE 802.11 WLAN in nonsaturated conditions, taking into account diverse transmission rates and diverse traffic flows (i.e. flows with different packet sizes and arrival rates) simultaneously. This model is based on Markov chain and the theoretical predictions are verified by simulation in OPNET 14.5. We also analyze the influences of transmission rate diversity and traffic flow diversity on throughput performance. It is observed that, the presence of even one station with lower transmission rate can cause a considerable degradation in throughput performance of all the stations when they have the same packet size and arrival rate. Higher system throughput can be achieved if lower transmission rate stations transmit packets with smaller size or arrival rate.展开更多

Recently a study is being conducted to develop an interface through face expression, movement of the body and eye movements, and further more active attempts to use electrical signals(brainwave, electrocardiogram, electromyogram) measured from the human body is also actively being progressed. In addition, the development and the usage of mobile devices and smart devices are promoting these research activities even more. The brainwave is measured by electrical activities between nerve cells in the cerebral cortex using scalp electrodes. The brainwave is mainly used for diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as epilepsy, encephalitis, brain tumors and brain damage. As a result, the brainwave measurement methods and analytical methods were developed. Interface using the brainwave will not go through language or body behavior which is the result of the information processed by the brain but will pass directly to the system providing a brain-computer interface (BCI). This is possible because a variety of the brainwave appears depending on the human’s physical and mental state. Using the brainwave with the intelligent brain-computer interface or combining it with mobile devices and smart devices, regardless of space constraints, the brainwave measurement should be possible.[4,7] In this study, in order to measure the brainwave without spatial constraint, 16 channel compact brainwave measurements system using a high-speed wireless communications were designed. It was designed with a 16 channel to classify the various brainwave patterns that appear and for estimating the location of the nerve cells that triggered the brainwave. And in order to transmit the brainwave data within the channel without loss, a high-speed wireless communication must be possible that can enable a high-speed wireless transmission more sufficient than the Bluetooth, therefore, 802.11 compliant Wi-Fi communication methods were used to transfer the data to the PC. In addition, by using an analog front-end IC having a single-chip configuration with real-time digital filters, the miniaturization of the system was implemented and in order to verify the system Eye-blocking was used to observe the changes in the EEG signal.展开更多

This paper analyzes the interaction between TCPand link layer retransmission scheme when the correlated packet are losses handled, indicates that a higher value of themaximum number of successive link layer timeout retransmissions has an adverse effect on TCP ability to perform conges-tion control rapidly. To achieve a better TCP performance, the paper proposes a strategy combining link-layer selective-re-ject automatic repeat request (ARQ) with explicit loss notification mechanism, which can respond to congestion quicklywhile keeping wireless link more reliable, and make TCP react to the different packet losses more suitably.展开更多

Actually, the tooth profile of this new type of gear is composed of lots of micro-segment involute curves, and on the profile, there exist lots of points, which their relative curvatures are equal to zero. This can result in the sliding coefficient smaller between two meshed Logix gears, and the mesh ch aracteristic becomes almost rolling transmission from sliding transmission accor dingly. So, this new type of gear has lots of advantages such as higher contact intensity, longer useful life and can easily realize power transfer of bigger tr ansmission ratio than standard involute gear. Study results showed that the cont act fatigue strength is 3 times larger, the bend fatigue strength is 2.5 times l arger, and the minimum tooth number can be decreased to 3, much smaller than tha t of standard involute gear. In this paper, following studies had been done: 1) The formation principle of Logix gear tooth profile was studied. The theoreti cal models describing the geometrical formations of this type of gear and its re lative Logix rack had been deduced. 2) While cutting a Logix gear, its tooth profile is decided by its normal tooth profile of Logix rack. Besides the basic parameters of standard involute gear, L ogix rack has its own specific parameters such as preliminary pressure angle, re lative pressure angle, and preliminary referential circle radius etc. So, the in fluence of connatural parameters of Logix rack on the tooth profile of Logix gea r had been farther studied. Reasonable selection for these parameters had been d iscussed. 3) Several kinds of transition curves for gear’s tooth profile had been introdu ced, its selection used by Logix gear had been described, and also its mathemati cal description model had been deduced. 4) The mesh theories of Logix gears had been developed. It had been proved that the transmission performance between Logix gears coincides with E-W theorem as that of ordinary standard involute gears. The formula calculating superposition coefficient was deduced according to its definition. Different from standard inv olute gears, the parameter of gear number has no effect on the superposition coe fficient of the Logix gears. Accordingly, bigger ratio transmission can be acqui red by means of decreasing the gear number, and its minimum gear number can be r eached to 3, much smaller than the minimum gear number of ordinary standard invo lute gear: 14~17. This is very important to realize the miniaturization of prod uction design. 5) The CAD special software was developed to design all kinds of Logix gears, an d a solid design example was offered. To sum up, by means of above study, the system info about Logix gear had been de veloped and enriched. This has most significant impact on its widely promotion a nd practical application, on the improvement of carrying capacity, miniaturizati on, and life of kinetic transmission products.展开更多

Seeking the suitable kinematic indices is always an important and challenging issue for the parallel manipulator. So far, there are extensive studies in this field,but few existing indices can meet all the requirements, such as simple, intuitive, and universal. To solve this problem,the matrix orthogonal degree is adopted, and generalized transmission indices that can evaluate motion/force transmissibility of fully parallel manipulators are proposed.Transmission performance analysis of typical branches,end effectors, and parallel manipulators is given to illustrate proposed indices and analysis methodology. Simulation and analysis results reveal that proposed transmission indices possess significant advantages, such as normalized finite(ranging from 0 to 1), dimensionally homogeneous,frame-free, intuitive and easy to calculate. Besides, proposed indices well indicate the good transmission region and relativity to the singularity with better resolution than the traditional local conditioning index, and provide a novel tool for kinematic analysis and optimal design of fully parallel manipulators.展开更多

文摘When wireless hosts use different rates to transmit data in IEEE 802.11 networks, it will take on the state of performance anomaly which will severely decrease the throughputs of all the higher rate hosts. Hence, it is bad for video service transmission. Considering that video is very sensitive to packet delivery delay but can tolerate some packet losses, we propose a novel cross-layer scheme which takes these two characteristics into consideration. Firstly, the maximum number of retransmissions for a video Medium Access Control (MAC) frame is computed in MAC layer according to video frame rate requirement of application layer and current access delay of MAC layer. Secondly, within the margin of the tolerant Packet Loss Rate (PLR) of application layer, several video MAC frames are allowed to drop so that we can adaptively select the transmission rate as high as possible for the rest of video MAC frames in terms of current channel quality and the maximum number of retransmissions. Experiment results show that the proposed method can reduce the delay and jitter of video service and improve the throughputs of fast hosts. Therefore, it increases the quality of reconstructed video to a certain extent and relieves the performance anomaly of network effectively.

文摘Variable curvature friction pendulum bearings(VCFPB)effectively reduce the dynamic response of storage tanks induced by earthquakes.Shaking table testing is used to assess the seismic performance of VCFPB isolated storage tanks.However,the vertical pressure and friction coefficient of the scaled VCFPB in the shaking table tests cannot match the equivalent values of these parameters in the prototype.To avoid this drawback,a real-time hybrid simulation(RTHS)test was developed.Using RTHS testing,a 1/8 scaled tank isolated by VCFPB was tested.The experimental results showed that the displacement dynamic magnification factor of VCFPB,peak reduction factors of the acceleration,shear force,and overturning moment at bottom of the tank,were negative exponential functions of the ratio of peak ground acceleration(PGA)and friction coefficient.The peak reduction factors of displacement,acceleration,force and overturning moment,which were obtained from the experimental results,are compared with those calculated by the Housner model.It can be concluded that the Housner model is applicable in estimation of the acceleration,shear force,and overturning moment of liquid storage tank,but not for the sliding displacement of VCFPBs.
文摘For the convenience of people with disability and for normal people, a demand for intelligent interfaces is ever increasing and therefore related studies are actively being conducted. Recently a study is being conducted to develop an interface through face expression, movement of the body and eye movements, and further more active attempts to use electrical signals(brainwave, electrocardiogram, electromyogram) measured from the human body is also actively being progressed. In addition, the development and the usage of mobile devices and smart devices are promoting these research activities even more. The brainwave is measured by electrical activities between nerve cells in the cerebral cortex using scalp electrodes. The brainwave is mainly used for diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as epilepsy, encephalitis, brain tumors and brain damage. As a result, the brainwave measurement methods and analytical methods were developed. Interface using the brainwave will not go through language or body behavior which is the result of the information processed by the brain but will pass directly to the system providing a brain-computer interface (BCI). This is possible because a variety of the brainwave appears depending on the human’s physical and mental state. Using the brainwave with the intelligent brain-computer interface or combining it with mobile devices and smart devices, regardless of space constraints, the brainwave measurement should be possible.[4,7] In this study, in order to measure the brainwave without spatial constraint, 16 channel compact brainwave measurements system using a high-speed wireless communications were designed. It was designed with a 16 channel to classify the various brainwave patterns that appear and for estimating the location of the nerve cells that triggered the brainwave. And in order to transmit the brainwave data within the channel without loss, a high-speed wireless communication must be possible that can enable a high-speed wireless transmission more sufficient than the Bluetooth, therefore, 802.11 compliant Wi-Fi communication methods were used to transfer the data to the PC. In addition, by using an analog front-end IC having a single-chip configuration with real-time digital filters, the miniaturization of the system was implemented and in order to verify the system Eye-blocking was used to observe the changes in the EEG signal.

文摘In order to support the mobility of computers during communication, the transport control protocol (TCP) con-nections between fixed host and mobile host often traverse wired and wireless networks, and the recovery of the losses dueto wireless transmission error is much different from congestion control. This paper analyzes the interaction between TCPand link layer retransmission scheme when the correlated packet are losses handled, indicates that a higher value of themaximum number of successive link layer timeout retransmissions has an adverse effect on TCP ability to perform conges-tion control rapidly. To achieve a better TCP performance, the paper proposes a strategy combining link-layer selective-re-ject automatic repeat request (ARQ) with explicit loss notification mechanism, which can respond to congestion quicklywhile keeping wireless link more reliable, and make TCP react to the different packet losses more suitably.

文摘Starting from the wave normal tracing treatment in the Savart polariscope that relates the Jones matrix to its transmission performance,this paper establishes a simple and effective model for the Jones matrix at an arbitrary inci-dence in the spatial domain.Analytical expressions of all the matrix components are determined with the consideration of all the main impact factors.This model needs only a few parameters hence it is convenient to be employed to evaluate the propagation performance of any birefringent optical system.The simulated results obtained with it demonstrate that this model gives a precise representation of the characteristic of light propagation in the Savart polariscope.This would provide useful suggestions for the design,calibration,and performance improvement of any other birefringent polarisation element and optical system.
文摘In order to analyze steering dynamic performance of an electric transmission tracked vehicle exactly, modern design theory and methodology-collaborative simulation and virtual prototype are applied. The 3-D multi-body dynamic model of full vehicle running gears and control system model are built based on the simulation platform on dynamic analysis software known as RecurDyn/Track-HM and control system analysis software known as Matlab/Simulink. Theory analysis and collaborative simulation of turning kinematic/dynamic performance in different velocity and turning radius are made. Comparing the test result with theory computation validates the correctness of the model. The method has instructional significance of solving the existent modeling problem, comprehension of turning performance and test debugging strategy,and also forms a new idea of research on dynamic characteristics for the electric transmission tracked vehicle’s electric propulsion system.

文摘To achieve better anti-vibration performance in a low frequency region and expand the range of vibration isolation,a bilateral supported bio-inspired anti-vibration(BBAV)structure composed of purely linear elements is proposed,inspired by the motion form of bird legs and the nonlinear extension and compression of muscles and tendons.The kinematic relations and nonlinear dynamic model considering vertical and rotational vibrations are established.The loading capacity and equivalent stiffness are investigated with key parameters.The amplitude-frequency characteristics and force transmissibility are used to evaluate the stability and anti-vibration performance with the effects of the excitation amplitude,rod length,installation angle,and spring stiffness.The results show that the loading requirements and resonant characteristics of the BBAV structure are adjustable,and superior vibration isolation performance can be achieved readily by tuning the parameters.The X-shaped vibration structure is sensitive to the spring stiffness,which exhibits a wider vibration isolation bandwidth with smaller spring stiffness.Besides,depending on the parameters,the nonlinear behavior of the BBAV system can be interconverted between the softening type and the hardening type.The theoretical analysis in this study demonstrates the advantages and effectiveness of the vibration isolation structure.

文摘Mobile Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)applications have achieved the explosive growth in recent years.The mobile IIoT has flourished and become the backbone of the industry,laying a solid foundation for the interconnection of all things.The variety of application scenarios has brought serious challenges to mobile IIoT networks,which face complex and changeable communication environments.Ensuring data secure transmission is critical for mobile IIoT networks.This paper investigates the data secure transmission performance prediction of mobile IIoT networks.To cut down computational complexity,we propose a data secure transmission scheme employing Transmit Antenna Selection(TAS).The novel secrecy performance expressions are first derived.Then,to realize real-time secrecy analysis,we design an improved Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)model,and propose an intelligent data secure transmission performance prediction algorithm.For mobile signals,the important features may be removed by the pooling layers.This will lead to negative effects on the secrecy performance prediction.A novel nine-layer improved CNN model is designed.Out of the input and output layers,it removes the pooling layer and contains six convolution layers.Elman,Back-Propagation(BP)and LeNet methods are employed to compare with the proposed algorithm.Through simulation analysis,good prediction accuracy is achieved by the CNN algorithm.The prediction accuracy obtains a 59%increase.

文摘The servomotor drive turret punch press is attracting more attentions and being developed more intensively due to the advantages of high speed,high accuracy,high flexibility,high productivity,low noise,cleaning and energy saving.To effectively improve the performance and lower the cost,it is necessary to develop new mechanisms and establish corresponding optimal design method with uniform performance indices.A new patented main driving mechanism and a new optimal design method are proposed.In the optimal design,the performance indices,i.e.,the local motion/force transmission indices ITI,OTI,good transmission workspace good transmission workspace(GTW) and the global transmission indices GTIs are defined.The non-dimensional normalization method is used to get all feasible solutions in dimensional synthesis.Thereafter,the performance atlases,which can present all possible design solutions,are depicted.As a result,the feasible solution of the mechanism with good motion/force transmission performance is obtained.And the solution can be flexibly adjusted by designer according to the practical design requirements.The proposed mechanism is original,and the presented design method provides a feasible solution to the optimal design of the main driving mechanism for servo punch press.
文摘In recent years, a new type of gear named Logix gea r was developed. Actually, the tooth profile of this new type of gear is composed of lots of micro-segment involute curves, and on the profile, there exist lots of points, which their relative curvatures are equal to zero. This can result in the sliding coefficient smaller between two meshed Logix gears, and the mesh ch aracteristic becomes almost rolling transmission from sliding transmission accor dingly. So, this new type of gear has lots of advantages such as higher contact intensity, longer useful life and can easily realize power transfer of bigger tr ansmission ratio than standard involute gear. Study results showed that the cont act fatigue strength is 3 times larger, the bend fatigue strength is 2.5 times l arger, and the minimum tooth number can be decreased to 3, much smaller than tha t of standard involute gear. In this paper, following studies had been done: 1) The formation principle of Logix gear tooth profile was studied. The theoreti cal models describing the geometrical formations of this type of gear and its re lative Logix rack had been deduced. 2) While cutting a Logix gear, its tooth profile is decided by its normal tooth profile of Logix rack. Besides the basic parameters of standard involute gear, L ogix rack has its own specific parameters such as preliminary pressure angle, re lative pressure angle, and preliminary referential circle radius etc. So, the in fluence of connatural parameters of Logix rack on the tooth profile of Logix gea r had been farther studied. Reasonable selection for these parameters had been d iscussed. 3) Several kinds of transition curves for gear’s tooth profile had been introdu ced, its selection used by Logix gear had been described, and also its mathemati cal description model had been deduced. 4) The mesh theories of Logix gears had been developed. It had been proved that the transmission performance between Logix gears coincides with E-W theorem as that of ordinary standard involute gears. The formula calculating superposition coefficient was deduced according to its definition. Different from standard inv olute gears, the parameter of gear number has no effect on the superposition coe fficient of the Logix gears. Accordingly, bigger ratio transmission can be acqui red by means of decreasing the gear number, and its minimum gear number can be r eached to 3, much smaller than the minimum gear number of ordinary standard invo lute gear: 14~17. This is very important to realize the miniaturization of prod uction design. 5) The CAD special software was developed to design all kinds of Logix gears, an d a solid design example was offered. To sum up, by means of above study, the system info about Logix gear had been de veloped and enriched. This has most significant impact on its widely promotion a nd practical application, on the improvement of carrying capacity, miniaturizati on, and life of kinetic transmission products.

文摘Performance index is the standard of performance evaluation, and is the foundation of both performance analysis and optimal design for the parallel manipulator. Seeking the suitable kinematic indices is always an important and challenging issue for the parallel manipulator. So far, there are extensive studies in this field,but few existing indices can meet all the requirements, such as simple, intuitive, and universal. To solve this problem,the matrix orthogonal degree is adopted, and generalized transmission indices that can evaluate motion/force transmissibility of fully parallel manipulators are proposed.Transmission performance analysis of typical branches,end effectors, and parallel manipulators is given to illustrate proposed indices and analysis methodology. Simulation and analysis results reveal that proposed transmission indices possess significant advantages, such as normalized finite(ranging from 0 to 1), dimensionally homogeneous,frame-free, intuitive and easy to calculate. Besides, proposed indices well indicate the good transmission region and relativity to the singularity with better resolution than the traditional local conditioning index, and provide a novel tool for kinematic analysis and optimal design of fully parallel manipulators.
