In-situ Micro-CT analysis of deformation behavior in sandwich-structured meta-stable beta Ti−35Nb alloy

Beta Ti−35Nb sandwich-structured composites with various reinforcing layers were designed and produced using additive manufacturing(AM)to achieve a balance between light weight and high strength.The impact of reinforcing layers on the compressive deformation behavior of porous composites was investigated through micro-computed tomography(Micro-CT)and finite element method(FEM)analyses.The results indicate that the addition of reinforcement layers to sandwich structures can significantly enhance the compressive yield strength and energy absorption capacity of porous metal structures;Micro-CT in-situ observation shows that the strain of the porous structure without the reinforcing layer is concentrated in the middle region,while the strain of the porous structure with the reinforcing layer is uniformly distributed;FEM analysis reveals that the reinforcing layers can alter stress distribution and reduce stress concentration,thereby promoting uniform deformation of the porous structure.The addition of reinforcing layer increases the compressive yield strength of sandwich-structured composite materials by 124%under the condition of limited reduction of porosity,and the yield strength increases from 4.6 to 10.3 MPa.

It provides precise grid point attribute values for the next steps of migration and demigration.

A Stochastic Approach for Cooperative Position Estimation of Multiple Mobile Robots

This paper proposes the cooperative position estimation of a group of mobile robots, which pertbrms disaster relief tasks in a wide area. When searching the wide area, it becomes important to know a robot＇s position correctly. However, for each mobile robot, it is impossible to know its own position correctly. Therefore, each mobile robot estimates its position from the data of sensor equipped on it. Generally, the sensor data is incorrect since there is sensor noise, etc. This research considers two types of the sensor data errors from omnidirectional camera. One is the error of white noise of the image captured by omnidirectional camera and so on. Another is the error of position and posture between two omnidirectional cameras. To solve the error of latter case, we proposed a self-position estimation algorithm for multiple mobile robots using two omnidirectional cameras and an accelerometer. On the other hand, to solve the error of the former case, this paper proposed an algorithm of cooperative position estimation for multiple mobile robots. In this algorithm, each mobile robot uses two omnidirectional cameras to observe the surrounding mobile robot and get the relative position between mobile robots. Each mobile robot estimates its position with only measurement data of each other mobile robots. The algorithm is based on a Bayesian filtering. Simulations of the proposed cooperative position estimation algorithm for multiple mobile robots are performed. The results show that position estimation is possible by only using measurement value from each other robot.

Effect of cross-wind on spatial vibration responses of train and track system

By taking cross-wind forces acting on trains into consideration, a dynamic analysis method of the cross-wind and high-speed train and slab track system was proposed on the basis of the analysis theory of spatial vibration of high-speed train and slab track system. The corresponding computer program was written by FORTRAN language. The dynamic responses of the high-speed train and slab track under cross-wind action were calculated. Meanwhile, the effects of the cross-wind on the dynamic responses of the system were also analyzed. The results show that the cross-wind has a significant influence on the lateral and vertical displacement responses of the car body, load reduction factor and overturning factor. For example, the maximum lateral displacement responses of the car body of the first trailer with and without cross-wind forces are 32.10 and 1.60 mm, respectively. The maximum vertical displacement responses of the car body of the first trailer with and without cross-wind forces are 6.60 and 3.29 mm, respectively. The maximum wheel load reduction factors of the first trailer with and without cross-wind forces are 0.43 and 0.22, respectively. The maximum overturning factors of the first trailer with and without cross-wind forces are 0.28 and 0.08, respectively. The cross-wind affects the derailment factor and lateral Sperling factor of the moving train to a certain extent. However, the lateral and vertical displacement responses of rails with the crnss-wind are almost the same as those without the cross-wind. The method presented and the corresponding computer program can be used to calculate the interaction between trains and track in cross-wind.

Effects of friction variability on isolation performance of rolling-spring systems

By taking a rolling-spring isolation system as the study object, the effects of the non-uniform distribution of rolling friction coefficient on its isolation performance were analyzed by a compiled computer program. The results show that the errors associated with the structural maximum relative displacement, acceleration and residual displacement due to ignoring the friction variability sequentially grow. This rule is weakened by the spring action, however, the unreasonable spring constant will cause sympathetic vibration. Under the condition of large friction variability, in the calculation of the structural maximum relative displacement and acceleration, the friction variability should be considered. When the structural residual displacement is concerned, the variability of rolling friction coefficient should be fully considered regardless of the friction variability.

ZF-8AT shifting element schemes were optimized based on GA work-box of MATLAB, and the feasibility of the optimization algorithm was verified.

Development of a System for Location Finding of Low-Level Sound Source by Using Human Acoustic System with Stochastic Resonance

The purpose of this study is to develop a system that enables location finding of a small sound. The location finding of a small sound has some difficulties such as high computational costs or disturbances from the ambient noises and reflected waves. The proposed system is composed of a biologically-inspired system which uses a hearing mechanism based on the human ear and a mechanism for perceiving weak signals that uses stochastic resonance. The location finding mechanism in the proposed system is based on the time-lag detecting architecture. On the other hand, the stochastic resonance mechanism can pick up the small sound source in the ambient noises. Using this proposed system, we implemented the location finding of small sounds through numerical simulations and hardware experiments. Good results were obtained for the small sound source location finding.

A Self-Position Estimation Algorithm for Multiple Mobile Robots Using Two Omnidirectional Cameras and an Accelerometer

This paper proposes a self-position estimate algorithm for the multiple mobile robots; each robot uses two omnidirectional cameras and an accelerometer. In recent years, the Great East Japan Earthquake and large-scale disasters have occurred frequently in Japan. From this, development of the searching robot which supports the rescue team to perform a relief activity at a large-scale disaster is indispensable. Then, this research has developed the searching robot group system with two or more mobile robots. In this research, the searching robot equips with two omnidirectional cameras and an accelerometer. In order to perform distance measurement using two omnidirectional cameras, each parameter of an omnidirectional camera and the position and posture between two omnidirectional cameras have to be calibrated in advance. If there are few mobile robots, the calibration time of each omnidirectional camera does not pose a problem. However, if the calibration is separately performed when using two or more robots in a disaster site, etc., it will take huge calibration time. Then, this paper proposed the algorithm which estimates a mobile robot＇s position and the parameter of the position and posture between two omnidirectional cameras simultaneously. The algorithm proposed in this paper extended Nonlinear Transformation （NLT） Method. This paper conducted the simulation experiment to check the validity of the proposed algorithm. In some simulation experiments, one mobile robot moves and observes the circumference of another mobile robot which has stopped at a certain place. This paper verified whether the mobile robot can estimate position using the measurement value when the number of observation times becomes 10 times in n/18 of observation intervals. The result of the simulation shows the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Seismic performance of isolation system of rolling friction with springs

In order to study an isolation system of rolling friction with springs, computer programs were compiled to evaluate the seismic performance based on its movement characteristics. Through the programs, the influences of various seismic performance factors, e.g., rolling friction coefficient, spring constant, were systematically investigated. Results show that by increasing the rolling friction coefficient, the structural relative displacement due to seismic load effectively decreases, while the structural response magnitude varies mainly depending on the correlations between the following factors: the spring constant, the earthquake intensity, and the rolling friction coefficient. Furthermore, increasing the spring constant can decrease the structural relative displacement, as well as residual displacement, however, it increases the structural response magnitude. Finally, based on the analyses of various seismic performance factors subjected to the scenario earthquakes, optimized theoretical seismic performance can be achieved by reasonably combining the spring constant and the rolling friction coefficient.

Accuracy Improvement of Zenith Tropospheric Delay Estimation Based on GPS Precise Point Positioning Algorithm

In the precise point positioning(PPP),some impossible accurately simulated systematic errors still remained in the GPS observations and will inevitably degrade the precision of zenith tropospheric delay(ZTD) estimation.The stochastic models used in the GPS PPP mode are compared.In this paper,the research results show that the precision of PPP-derived ZTD can be obviously improved through selecting a suitable stochastic model for GPS measurements.Low-elevation observations can cover more troposphere information that can improve the estimation of ZTD.A new stochastic model based on satellite low elevation cosine square is presented.The results show that the stochastic model using satellite elevation-based cosine square function is better than previous stochastic models.

Numerical calculation for circulating current in stator transposition bars of large water-cooled turbo-generators

Accurate calculation of circulating current is one of the key problems for stator transposition bars in the design of turbo-generators. Aimed at limitation that analytical algorithm of circulating current could not reflect the local electromagnetic field distribution and difficulty that overlaps easily exist in solid modeling process of stator transposition bars, a simplified physical model of transposition bars is established. A three-dimensional(3-D) numerical method for circulating current in stator transposition bars of large water-cooled turbo-generators is investigated, which is combined with field-circuit coupling method. Taking stator bars less than 540° transposition with void model of a 600-MW water-cooled turbo-generator as the research object, the magnetic flux density distribution, current density distribution and circulating current distribution of transposition strands are obtained by numerical calculation. Compared with calculation results of the improved analytical algorithm, the correctness of the numerical calculation for circulating current is demonstrated, the calculation value difference for the maximum current of strands is obtained. The numerical calculation for circulating current will provide an appropriate basis for the reasonable calculation of local overheating of stator transposition bars and the design of safety margin for turbo-generators.
