Novel Parameter Identification Method for Basis Weight Control Loop of Papermaking Process

The basis weight control loop of the papermaking process is a non-linear system with time-delay and time-varying.It is impractical to identify a model that can restore the model of real papermaking process.Determining a more accurate identification model is very important for designing the controller of the control system and maintaining the stable operation of the papermaking process.In this study,a strange nonchaotic particle swarm optimization(SNPSO)algorithm is proposed to identify the models of real papermaking processes,and this identification ability is significantly enhanced compared with particle swarm optimization(PSO).First,random particles are initialized by strange nonchaotic sequences to obtain high-quality solutions.Furthermore,the weight of linear attenuation is replaced by strange nonchaotic sequence and the time-varying acceleration coefficients and a mutation rule with strange nonchaotic characteristics are utilized in SNPSO.The above strategies effectively improve the global and local search ability of particles and the ability to escape from local optimization.To illustrate the effectiveness of SNPSO,step response data are used to identify the models of real industrial processes.Compared with classical PSO,PSO with timevarying acceleration coefficients(PSO-TVAC)and modified particle swarm optimization(MPSO),the simulation results demonstrate that SNPSO has stronger identification ability,faster convergence speed,and better robustness.

And it is very suitable for controlling such processes as BW loop with large time delay.

Positioning-control Based on Trapezoidal Velocity Curve for High-precision Basis Weight Control Valve

Traditionally, basis weight control valve is driven by a constant frequency pulse signal. Therefore, it is difficult for the valve to match the control precision of basis weight. Dynamic simulation research using Matlab/Simulink indicates that there is much more overshoot and fluctuating during the valve-positioning process. In order to improve the valve-positioning precision, the control method of trapezoidal velocity curve was studied. The simulation result showed that the positioning steady-state error was less than 0.0056%, whereas the peak error was less than 0.016% by using trapezoidal velocity curve at 10 positioning steps. A valve-positioning precision experimental device for the stepper motor of basis weight control valve was developed. The experiment results showed that the error ratio of 1/10000 positioning steps was 4% by using trapezoidal velocity curve. Furthermore, the error ratio of 10/10000 positioning steps was 0.5%. It proved that the valve-positioning precision of trapezoidal velocity curve was much higher than that of the constant frequency pulse signal control strategy. The new control method of trapezoidal velocity curve can satisfy the precision requirement of 10000 steps.

A new grid deformation technology with high quality and robustness based on quaternion

Quality and robustness of grid deformation is of the most importance in the field of aircraft design, and grid in high quality is essential for improving the precision of numerical simulation. In order to maintain the orthogonality of deformed grid, the displacement of grid points is divided into rotational and translational parts in this paper, and inverse distance weighted interpolation is used to transfer the changing location from boundary grid to the spatial grid. Moreover, the deformation of rotational part is implemented in combination with the exponential space mapping that improves the certainty and stability of quaternion interpolation. Furthermore, the new grid deformation technique named ‘‘layering blend deformation＇＇ is built based on the basic quaternion technique, which combines the layering arithmetic with transfinite interpolation（TFI） technique. Then the proposed technique is applied in the movement of airfoil, parametric modeling, and the deformation of complex configuration, in which the robustness of grid quality is tested. The results show that the new method has the capacity to deal with the problems with large deformation, and the ‘‘layering blend deformation＇＇ improves the efficiency and quality of the basic quaternion deformation method significantly.
