Active Vibration Control of Beam Using Electro-magnetic Constrained Layer Damping

This paper investigates vibration control of beam through electro-magnetic constrained layer damping （EMCLD） which consists of electromagnet layer, permanent magnet layer and viscoelastic damping layer. When the coil of the electromagnet is electrified with proper control strategy, the electromagnet can exert magnetic force opposite to the direction of structural deformation so that the structural vibration is attenuated. A mathematical model is developed based on the equivalent current method to calculate the electromagnetic control force produced by EMCLD. The governing equations of the system are obtained using Hamilton＇s Principle and then reduced with the assumed-mode method. A simulation on vibration control of a cantilever beam is conducted under the velocity proportional feedback to demonstrate the energy dissipation capability of EMCLD, and the beam system with the same parameter is experimented. The results of experiment and simulation are compared and the results show that the EMCLD is an effective means for suppressing modal vibration. The results also indicate that the beam system has better control performance for larger control current. The EMCLD method presented in this paper provides an applicable and efficient tool for the vibration control of structures.

Effects of Exposure to Extremely Low Frequency Electro-magnetic Fields on Circadian Rhythms and Distribution of Some Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens in Dairy Cows

Objective To investigate the effects of extremely low frequency magnetic and electric fields （ELFEMFs） emitted from 380 kV transmission lines on some leukocyte differentiation antigens in dairy cows. Methods The study was carded out in 5 cows exposed to 1.98-3.28 μT of ELFEMFs and in 5 control cows exposed to 0.2-0.7 μT of ELFEMFs. Following haematological and immunologic parameters were measured in both groups： WBC, CD45R, CD6, CD4, CD8, CD21, and CD11B leukocyte antigen expression. Results Some of the haematological and immunologic parameters under investigation were similar in both groups. However, CD8 （T lymphocyte surface antigen） was higher in the exposed group （1.35 ±0.120 vs 0.50 ±0.14×10^3/mL）. Furthermore, the CD4/CD8 ratio （0.84 ±0.05 and 2.19±0.16 for exposed and not exposed cows respectively） and circadian rhythm were different between the two groups. Conclusion Exposure to ELFEMFs is responsible of the abnormal temporal variations and distribution of some haematological and immunological parameters in dairy cows.

Investigation of composite electromagnetic scattering from ship-like target on the randomly rough sea surface using FDTD method

Composite electromagnetic scattering from a two-dimensional （2D） ship-like target on a one-dimensional sea surface is investigated by using the finite-difference time-domain （FDTD） method. A uniaxial perfectly matched layer is adopted for truncation of FDTD lattices.The FDTD updated equations can be used for the total computation domain by choosing the uniaxial parameters properly. To validate the proposed numerical technique,a 2D infinitely long cylinder over the sea surface is taken into account first.The variation of angular distribution of the scattering changing with incident angle is calculated. The results show good agreement with the conventional moment method. Finally,the influence of the incident angle,the polarization,and the size of the ship-like target on the composite scattering coefficient is discussed in detail.

New reclosing scheme of distribution system for utilization of BESS using wavelet transform

This paper proposed the reclosing method in distribution system with battery energy storage system(BESS)using wavelet transform(WT).The proposed method performs the WT of load current and then calculates the absolute value of slope of detail coefficient.The mother wavelet used is db4of level6.The fault clearing is detected using the rapid increase of this value.After the detection of fault clearing,the reclosing is performed.To verify the proposed method,various simulations according to the fault clearing times,fault resistances,and fault lengths are performed using EMTP.The simulation results show that fault clearing can be detected using proposed absolute value of slope of detail coefficient and hence the reclosing can be performed successfully.

Temperature field at time of pulse current discharge in metal structure with elliptical embedding crack

Theoretical analysis is made on the temperature field at the time of pulse current discharge in a metal structure with an elliptical embedding crack. In finding the temperature field, analogy between the current flow through an elliptical embedding crack and the fluid flow through a barrier is made based on the similarity principle. Boundary conditions derived from this theory are introduced so that the distribution of current density and the temperature field expressions can be obtained. The study provides a theoretic basis to the applications of stopping spatial crack with electromagnetic heating.

Magnetic circuit optimization and experimental study of new internally excited automatic balancing

Mass imbalance-induced vibration affects the rotating machinery very large,especially the highspeed types.Off-line balancing techniques have been widely developed for rejecting unbalance-induced vibration but do not eliminate unbalanced vibration in the working state.Moreover,multiple start-stops are required in off-line balancing techniques.Therefore,research on an efficient electromagnetically-driven auto-balancer is carried out in the present work,and an internal excitation actuator is designed in this balancer.The electromagnetic characteristics of the two copper coil bobbins in the internal excitation actuator are compared and analyzed.The permanent magnets inside the actuator are simulated and analyzed with different sections of round,rectangular,and elliptical.And the results show that the elliptic type has the largest self-locking force.Finally,the dynamic balance test is performed on a test bench equipped with a designed electromagnetic balancing actuator,and the unbalance vibration is reduced from 130.23 μm to 5.98 μm.

Experimental study of ultralong wave band for electro－magnetic signals and acoustic emission during rock fracture

The electro-magnetic (EM) and acoustic emission (AE) in the fracture process of both dry and wet rock samples including gabbro, granite, sandstone and marble are studied in the experiment in the laboratory under uniaxial pressure. Signals during the test are detected in ultralow frequency band. The experimental results may be outlined as follows: original waveforms of the electro-magnetic radiation (EMR) and AE in the range of 0-20 kHz frequencies are obtained; the EMR's intensity in fracture process is related to some factors as rock type, content of water, fracture intensity of rocks, loading rates and fracture state etc.; the EMR'S rate is proportional to that of AE during fracture statistically. About 70% of maximum values of EMR rate and AE rate are corresponded with each other; furthermore, the EM signals (EMS) are generally more developed and longer duration than AE signals; the principal energy of EMS detected by copper coin antenna as sensor in power spectra are distributed in frequencies lower than 6 kHz and otherwise those detected by EMinduction coil are at about 10 kHz, and in contrast the major energies of AE are in frequencies less than3 kHz; another notable phenomenon is that distinct electro-magnetic signals are detected before AE occurrence. Since EMR and AE signals obtained in the process of rock fracture are better corresponded to eachother, therefore it'S reasonable to propose that the EMR anormalies observed prior to some earthquakes aremainly produced by fractures of rock in source region, as for the EMS occurred before AE may be related topiezoelectric and piezomagnetic effects.

Lift Enhancement and Oscillatory Suppression of Vortex-induced Vibration in Shear Flow by Loentz Force

The flow of the weak electrolyte solution can be controlled by Lorentz force achieved with the suitable magnetic and electric fields, and it has the advantages of vortex street suppression, drag reduction, lift enhancement and oscillatory suppression for the flow over a bluff body. The electro-magnetic control of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a circular cylinder in the shear flow was investigated numerically in the exponential-polar coordinates attached on the moving cylinder for Re=150. With the effect of background vorticity, the vortex street of VIV cylinder was composed of two parallel rows with an opposite sign of the vortices which inclines toward the lower side and the strength of upper vortex is larger than that of lower vortex. The lift force vibrated periodically with the effect of vortex shedding and the mean value was negative due to the background vorticity. The Lorentz force for controlling the VIV cylinder was classified into the field Lorentz force and the wall Lorentz force. The field Lorentz force suppresses the lift oscillation, and in turn, suppresses the VIV, whereas the wall Lorentz force increases the lift.

NUMERICAL ANALYSES OF DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY FOR MAIN COMPONENTS OF BESIII

The design and manufacture of the main drift chamber（MDC） and the electro-magnetic calorimeter are most important issues in Beijing electron-positron collider upgraded projects. The whole mass of electro-magnetic calorimeter （EMC） in BESIII is 40 t, thus high stiffness, strength and dynamical properties are required for the design of entire structural of electro-magnetic calorimeter. Based on numerical technique, the strength and the dynamical properties of EMC are analyzed, which provide theoretical reference for the design of entire structural of EMC. The MDC is composed of the elements with 28 680 pre-stressed high-sensitive wires and during the assembly the wires are stringed layer by layer. The stretching forces of the wires vary continuously and couple with each other in the whole process. The modeling technique with high precision （especially ＂element birth and death＂） is carefully used to study the stress state during the process of assembly. So the variations of the stretching force of the wire are investigated, and several design schemes are evaluated and optimized. The research results have been adopted in the Beijing electron-positron collider＇s new project directly.

Winding Function Theory Based Thrust Calculation on Nested-loop Secondary Linear Machine Adapted to Linear Metro

With advantages of strong drive capability,nested-loop secondary linear machine(NLS-LM)has great potentiality in linear metro.For its secondary structure with multiple loops,it is difficult to calculate the electromagnetic thrust of NLS-LM reasonably.Hence,in this paper,one thrust calculation method is proposed considering variable loop inductance and transient loop current.Firstly,to establish the secondary winding function,the modeling domain is confined to a limited range,and the equivalent loop span is employed by analyzing the coupling relationship between primary and secondary.Then,in order to obtain the secondary flux density,the transient secondary current is solved based on the loop impedance and induced voltage.Finally,the electromagnetic thrust can be calculated reasonably by the given primary current sheet and the calculated secondary flux density.Comprehensive simulations and experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A Study on the Effective Long Type Coil Shape by Multidisciplinary Method in Induction Heating

The axis symmetric analysis method can neither handle initial curved plates nor be used in the optimization of coil shapes because an axis symmetric coil is the only shape to analyze in this method. But the method using some discrete divisions and steps, can overcome these difficulties and show more accurate, reasonable results of temperatures and deflections in flat or curved plates with initial curvature, than those in the axis symmetric analysis method. Traditionally, the coil shape in induction heating is circular shape and it needs the moving process along heating lines. To overcome these, the “long type coil” with some linear parallel coils is proposed. It does not need the moving process along heating lines and reduces the heating process time. The results of experiments are compared with those of simulation.

Evolution of global enstrophy in cylinder wake controlled by Lorentz force

The Okubo-Weiss function is correlated with the fluid particle compression, deformation and vorticity, which provides a simple way to characterize different regions of a flow-field. In the present paper, it shows mathematically that the global integration of Okubo-Weiss function is always equal to zero for a two dimensional incompressible flow with no-slip boundaries. To validate the conclusion, a flow passing a circular cylinder con- trolled by the electromagnetic force is calculated numerically as an example. Distributions of global enstrophy, total squared strain and Okubo-Weiss function in the controlled flow field are discussed. The influence of Lorentz force on the distribution is analyzed.

Mitigation and prediction of disruption on the HL-2A Tokamak

Injection of high-Z impurities into plasma has been proved to be able to reduce the localized thermal load and mechanical forces on the in-vessel components and the vacuum vessel, caused by disruptions in Tokamaks. An advanced prediction and mitigation system of disruption is implemented in HL-2A to safely shut down plasmas by using the laser ablation of high-Z impurities with a perturbation real-time measuring and processing system. The injection is usually triggered by the amplitude and frequency of the MHD perturbation field which is detected with a Mirnov coil and leads to the onset of a mitigated disruption within a few milliseconds. It could be a simple and potential approach to significantly reducing the plasma thermal energy and magnetic energy before a disruption, thereby achieving safe plasma termination. The plasma response to impurity injection, a mechanism for improving plasma thermal and current quench in major disruptions, the design of the disruption prediction warner, and an evaluation of the mitigation success rate are discussed in the present paper.

A possible UL Fseismice lectro-magnetic emission

A possible electro-magnetic emission (EME) associated with earthquakes are presented in the paper throughanalysis of the anomaly EME in ultra-low frequency range (ULF) observed at some sites before two earthquakesnear Beijing and the comparison with similar signals observed prior to the 1988 Armenia and 1989 Loma Prietaearthquakes. The anomaly features are as follows: ①the anomalous disturbances occur discontinuously severaldays before earthquakes and signal frequencies are higher remarkably than geomagnetic pulsation and magneticdisturbances during magnetic storms in ULF band and at least not lower than 1 Hz; ②similar signals are ohserved by similar observation systems at same site for the same earthquake ; ③the anomaly occurrence times andfrequencies at sites near the epicenter are earlier and higher respectively than that at farther sites; ④the signalenergy distribution in different frequency ranges may not be the same and the signal magnitudes may be relatedto earthquake magnitudes and greater earthquake may emit stronger EME signals; ⑤there may be a seismicmagnitude threshold for observable ULF EME anomalies and if smaller earthquakes possess of EME signals also,they may not be observed by the present observation system.
