基于有限元的制动模架静强度与疲劳强度分析

以某动车组车下悬挂式制动模架为研究对象,对4种超常载荷组合工况以及4种运营载荷组合工况进行仿真分析。依据EN12663标准和相关设计要求,进行制动模架的静强度分析;依据EN12663和BS7608等相关疲劳设计标准,进行制动模架的疲劳强度分析。结果表明,在4种超常载荷组合工况下,工况2的Mises峰值应力最大,应力值为233.6 MPa,节点位于制动模架横梁与中间板连接焊缝处,该值小于模架基于安全系数S修正后的许用应力300 MPa,因此该模架的静强度满足要求;在4种运营载荷组合工况下,工况2的最大主应力峰值最大,应力值为29.65 MPa,节点位于制动模架横梁与中间板连接焊缝处,该值小于BS7608标准中F级焊接接头疲劳许用应力40 MPa,由此可以评定该模架的疲劳强度符合标准。

Performance analysis of air suspension system of heavy truck with semi-active fuzzy control

In order to analyze and evaluate the performance of the air suspension system of heavy trucks with semi-active fuzzy control, a three-dimensional nonlinear dynamical model of a typical heavy truck with 16-DOF（degree of freedom） is established based on Matlab/Simulink software. The weighted root-mean-square（RMS） acceleration responses of the vertical driver ＇s seat, the pitch and roll angle of the cab, and the dynamic load coefficient（DLC） are chosen as objective functions, and the air suspension system is optimized and analyzed by the semi-active fuzzy control algorithm when vehicles operate under different operation conditions. The results show that the influence of the roll angle of the cab on the heavy truck ride comfort is clear when vehicles move on the road surface conditions of the ISO level D and ISO level E at a velocity over 27.5 m/s. The weighted RMS acceleration responses of vertical driver＇ s seat, the pitch and roll angle of the cab are decreased by 24%, 30% and 25%, respectively,when vehicles move on the road surface condition of the ISO level B at a velocity of 20 m/s. The value of the DLC also significantly decreases when vehicles operate under different operation conditions. Particularly, the DLC value of the tractor driver axle is greatly reduced by 27.4% when the vehicle operates under a vehicle fully-loaded condition on the road surface condition of ISO level B at a velocity of 27.5 m/s.

Mathematical model of electric hydraulic and powered support control system at a plough mining face

Given the actual working of a fully mechanized plough at a mining face, we have proposed a formula for running constraints between powered supports and a coal plough under assumed geological conditions of the coal face and, on this basis, established an automatic control model of powered supports for the coal plough face. We introduced the working principle of the powered support control system of the plough at the mining face. We established three advanced characteristics of this control system： response speed, reliability and easy maintenance of the system. As well, we briefly introduced, the principal function of primary and subordinate controllers and the realization of the communication system by a Single Bus. Ten controllers were constructed and tested in our laboratorium. The results show that the control model is practical and meets actual conditions. It provides a theoretical basis for designing a comouter control system for a oowered support system of a plough at a mining face.

Vibration Control of Jacket Platforms with Magnetorheological Damper and Experimental Validation~

Magnetorheological （MR） dampers have been proposed to control the vibration of offshore platforms in this paper. The semi-active control strategy based on fuzzy control algorithm was adopted to determine the optimal output control force based on the responses of jacket platforms. A typical jacket platform in Mexico Gulf was selected as the numerical example to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed control method. Furthermore, a model experiment was performed to validate the results of the numerical simulation. The experimental model of the jacket platform was designed based on dynamical similarity criterion by the scale of 1：50. Both of the numerical and experimental results show that the semi-active control system with the MR damper can reduce vibrations of jacket platforms effectively and at the same time the control effect is stable.

Passive vibration control of truss-cored sandwich plate with planar Kagome truss as one face plane

Kagome based high authority shape morphing structure is a kind of truss-cored sandwich metal plate with a planar Kagome truss as one of its face plane. The planar Kagome truss can achieve arbitrary in-plane nodal displacements with minimal internal resistance when its rods are deformed. Moreover, the in-plane deflection of the planar Kagome truss may induce the lateral deflection of the whole sandwich plate. In this paper, the feasibility to enhance the damping of the truss-cored sandwich plate through the replacement of a very small portion of rods in the planar Kagome truss by cylindrical viscoelastic dampers is exploited. The Biot model is chosen to simulate the behavior of the viscoelastic material in the dampers, and the fraction of axial modal strain energy of the rods in the planar Kagome truss is adopted as the index to decide the positions of the dampers. Through complex modal analysis and time-domain simulation, it is shown that the passive vibration control approach is very effective for the vibration reduction of this kind of truss-cored sandwich plates.
