FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS AND PHYSICAL PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION OF NON-UNIFORM BEAM CARRYING SPRING-MASS SYSTEMS

To analyze a multibody system composed of non-uniform beam and spring-mass subsystems, the model discretization is carried on by utilizing the finite element method（FEM）, the dynamic model of non-uniform beam is developed by using the transfer matrix method of multibody system（MS-TMM）, the transfer matrix of non-u- niform beam is derived, and the natural frequencies are computed. Compared with the numerical assembly method （NAM）, the results by MS-TMM have good agreement with the results by FEM, and are better than the results by NAM. When using the high precision method, the global dynamic equations of the complex multibody system are not needed and the orders of involved system matrices are decreased greatly. For the investigation on the re- verse problem of the physical parameter identification of multibody system, MS-TMM and the optimization tech- nology based on genetic algorithms（GAs） are combined and extended. The identification problem is exchanged for an optimization problem, and it is formulated as a global minimum solution of the objective function with respect to natural frequencies of multibody system. At last, the numerical example of non-uniform beam with attach- ments is discussed, and the identification results indicate the feasibility and the effectivity of the proposed aop- proach.

Multi-Component Signal Processing for the Short Range Radar

To study the measurement of distance under the condition of the frequency modulation (FM) multi component signal of a short range radar, the multi points scattering model of a target, the TLS ESPRIT (total least square estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques) and the mathematical statistics methods were used. The method of computing single frequency signal's instantaneous frequency (IF) is unsuitable to the multi component signal. By using the method of the TLS ESPRIT combined with the mathematical statistics, the multi component signal's IF can be obtained. The computer simulation has shown that the method has the high accuracy for measuring the distance.

Method for optimizing manipulator's geometrical parameters and selecting reducers

A geometrical parameters optimization and reducers selection method was proposed for robotic manipulators design. The Lagrangian approach was employed in deriving the dynamic model of a two-DOF manipulator. The flexibility of links and joints was taken into account in the mechanical structure dimensions optimization and reducers selection, in which Timoshenko model was used to discretize the hollow links. Two criteria, i.e. maximization of fundamental frequency and minimization of self-mass/load ratio, were utilized to optimize the manipulators. The NSGA-II (fast elitist nondominated sorting genetic algorithms) was employed to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. How the joints flexibility affects the manipulators design was analyzed and shown in the numerical analysis example. The results indicate that simultaneous consideration of the joints and the links flexibility is very necessary for manipulators optimal design. Finally, several optimal combinations were provided. The effectiveness of the optimization method was proved by comparing with ADAMS simulation results. The self-mass/load ratio error of the two methods is within 10%. The maximum error of the natural frequency by the two methods is 23.74%. The method proposed in this work provides a fast and effective pathway for manipulator design and reducers selection.

Determination of Natural Frequencies of Multilayered Plates by Mixed Finite Elements

Natural frequencies for multilayer plates are calculated by mixed finite element method. The main object of this paper is to use the mixed model for multilayer plates, analyzing each layer as an isolated plate, where the continuity of displacements is achieved by Lagrange multipliers （representing static variables）. This procedure allows us to work with any model for single plate （so as to ensure the proper behavior of each layer）, and the complexity of the multilayer system is avoided by ensuring the condition of displacements by the Lagrange multipliers （static variables）. The plate is discretized by finite element modeling based on a primary hybrid model, where the domain is divided by quadrilateral, both for the displacement field and static variables. This mixed element for plates was implemented and several examples of vibrations have been verified successfully by the results obtained by other methods in the literature.

A novel method of dynamic characteristics analysis of machine tool based on unit structure

A novel approach,which can be used for dynamic characteristics analysis of machine tools based on unit structure(US),is reported in this paper.The concepts of unit structures for design of machine tools are defined.In order to satisfy the dynamic characteristics requirement of high natural frequency and light-weight of US,a design method of multi-disciplinary optimization of NSGA-II about unit structures driven by natural frequency and mass is developed.Through analyzing the unit structures,key factors affecting the natural frequency and mass are extracted,and the mathematical models of natural frequency and mass about unit structures are also established by using central composite design and response surface model.The goal of high natural frequency and light-weight is reached by using the multi-objective genetic algorithms.The Pareto optimal set is also obtained.The dynamic behavior of US is investigated by the experimental modal analysis.To show the efficiency of the proposed novel method,the example of YKW51250 gear shaping machine bed is used.Through optimization of NSGA-II about US of YKW51250 machine bed,the natural frequency of YKW51250 gear shaping machine bed is increased by 30.4%and its mass decreased by 5.2%comparing with the original design.By studying the dynamic characteristics of the simplified machine tools bed,useful laws are obtained,and these laws can be used in primary design of NC machine tools structures.The optimal method based on US can be also applied to the dynamic optimal design of machine tools and other similar equipments.

Multi-band design for one-dimensional phononic crystals

Periodic composites with band gaps that prevent the propagation of elastic waves in certain frequency ranges can be used to control waves for a variety of engineering applications. Although studies on the characteristics of these materials, which are called phononic crystals (PCs), have yielded a large number of positive results in recent years, there is still a lack of effective design methods. In this work, a multi-objective optimization approach based on the band gap mechanism and an intelligent algorithm is used to design a one-dimensional (1D) slab construction of PCs. The design aims to fit pre-determined bands by arranging the available materials properly. Obtained by analyzing the wave transmission in periodic layers, the objective functions are linked to the optimization program to obtain a proper solution set. The results of the numerical simulations demonstrate that without constructing complicated structures, the design method is able to produce PCs that overcome the limitations of two-component PCs and hence can feasibly and effectively achieve the design targets. The design approach presented in this paper can be extended to two-or three-dimensional systems and has great potential for the development of sound/ultrasound isolation structures, multiple band frequency filters, and other applications.
