Research on the special lifting devices for steel box girders of Sutong Bridge

Sutong Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge with a steel box girder and a main span of 1 088 m.The steel box girder of main span includes five portions:back span large unit,large block of pylon,standard girder,back span closure girder and middle span closure girder.Each back span large unit is fabricated by welding several deck segments together in factory,and is erected by floating crane.As navigational clearance of the main bridge is high,the traditional truss lifting device can't satisfy the requirement of domestic lifting cranes for this kind of lifting height and weight.Hence,a kind of lighter lifting device for the erection of back span large units was accepted for this bridge.In this paper,the design and use of this lifting device is introduced.The upper structure used lifting gantry to install the standard girder segment by cantilever method.Because the bridge's navigation clearance is high,and the girder segment is wide and heavy,the meteorology and hydrology condition of the bridge district is abominable,and the requirements of long cable girder side pull-in,structure and performance propose high request to the lifting gantry.In this paper,the design and use key point of long cable pull-in angle adjustment device integrate into lifting gantry is introduced.

High Precision CAE Analysis of Automotive Transaxle Oil Seal Leakage

The manufacturing industry today due to worldwide competition is focused on shorter development cycle. In this situation, computer aided education （CAE） technology as a tool for simultaneous achievement of quality, cost and delivery （QCD） plays an important role. The hardware-software environment surrounding CAE has evolved. Though technological problems have been understood and general solutions have been derived and reflected in the CAE analysis software, research findings that boost the credibility of CAE have still not been incorporated fully enough into the development of design process. The real technical mechanism issue is not precisely capture. Therefore, it is important to clarify the real cause in CAE results through CAE simulation in order to assure product reliability and assurance. It is the aim of this study to realize the prediction of design analysis process through understanding of unclear technical mechanism in abnormal occurrences with the utilization of CAE simulation. In other words, it is the aim of this study to focus on issue in automotive transaxle oil seal leakage to understand, grasp, and visualize the main cause through usage of CAE analysis process. It is understood that the point of contact and pump volume was related and this could contribute towards seals quality design. Plus, the utilization of CAE analysis in prediction phase to realized design development is also possible

Optimization design of the angle detecting system used in the fast steering mirror

In this paper, in order to design a fast steering mirror(FSM) with large deflection angle and high linearity, a deflection angle detecting system(DADS) using quadrant detector(QD) is developed. And the mathematical model describing DADS is established by analyzing the principle of position detecting and error characteristics of QD. Based on this mathematical model, the variation tendencies of deflection angle and linearity of FSM are simulated. Then, by changing the parameters of the DADS, the optimization of deflection angle and linearity of FSM is demonstrated. Finally, a QD-based FSM is designed based on this method, which achieves ±2° deflection angle and 0.72% and 0.68% linearity along x and y axis, respectively. Moreover, this method will be beneficial to the design of large deflection angle and high linearity FSM.

Design of a wide-field target detection and tracking system using the segmented planar imaging detector for electro-optical reconnaissance

Detecting and tracking multiple targets simultaneously for space-based surveillance requires multiple cameras,which leads to a large system volume and weight. To address this problem, we propose a wide-field detection and tracking system using the segmented planar imaging detector for electro-optical reconnaissance. This study realizes two operating modes by changing the working paired lenslets and corresponding waveguide arrays： a detection mode and a tracking mode. A model system was simulated and evaluated using the peak signal-to-noise ratio method. The simulation results indicate that the detection and tracking system can realize wide-field detection and narrow-field, multi-target, high-resolution tracking without moving parts.

Design of all-optical temporal differentiator using a Moir fiber grating

We design and demonstrate an all-optical temporal differentiator based on a simple Moire fiber grating operated in reflection. The simulation results prove that a single Moire fiber grating with only one π-phase shifted point can act as the first-order temporal differentiator and that a Moire fiber grating incorporating two symmetrical π-phase shifted points can act as the second-order temporal differentiator. A practical Moire fiber grating is fabricated, thereby proving that such a grating can act as the first-order temporal differentiator. Our results verify the feasibility, flexibility, and accuracy of the proposed method.
