Research on Digital Dynamic Testing Technique for Electrohydraulic Servovalve

The digital testing technique based on computers for dynamic characteristics of electrohydraulic servovalves via frequency scan method is researched. The no-load piston which measures the servo's transient output flow is designed properly. The velocity testing method by which the speed signal can be obtained indirectly by means of a piezoelectral accelerometer is given. High speed sampling has been realized in Windows OS. Wavelet denoising and Fourier transform are adopted in data processing and analyses. The testing technique discussed has been applied to actual testing systems and the experimental results have proved it to be correct.

Analysis of Permanent Magnet-assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor Based on Equivalent Reluctance Network Model

In this paper,the equivalent reluctance network model(ERNM)is used to calculate the magnetic circuit of a permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motor(PMASynRM)and calculate no-load air-gap magnetic field and electromagnetic torque.Iteration method is used to solve the relative permeability of iron core.A novel reluctance network model based on actual distribution of the magnetic flux inside the motor is established.The magnetomotive force(MMF)generated by armature winding affects the relative permeability of iron core,which is considered in the calculation of ERNM to improve the accuracy when the motor is under load.ERNM can be used to measure air-gap flux density,no-load back electromotive force(EMF),the average value of motor torque,the armature winding voltage under load,and power factor.The method of calculating the motor performance is proposed.The results of calculation are consistent with finite element method(FEM)and the computational complexity is much less than that of the FEM.The results of ERNM has been verified,which will provide a simple method for motor design and analysis.

Effect of Refiner Plate Bar Angle and Pulp Properties on the Low Consistency Refining Efficiency in Terms of Power Consumption

Power consumption is the energy source of the impact on fibers or pulp during low-consistency(LC)pulp refining,and the strength of refining affects refining quality and efficiency.The pulp properties,operating parameters,and bar parameters of the refiner plates are important parameters affecting refining efficiency,which can be defined as the ratio of net to total refining power.In this study,LC refining trials for pulps with different consistencies and fiber lengths were conducted using five isometric straightbar plates with different bar angles to explore the influences of the plate bar angle and pulp properties on the no-load power,impact capacity on fibers and refining efficiency.It was found that the no-load power of the LC refining process decreased with an increase in the plate bar angle while increased when pulp with higher consistency was refined under the same refining conditions.However,the effect of pulp consistency on the no-load power can be neglected when refining is conducted using plates with larger bar angles.Meanwhile,a critical bar angle for straight-bar plates in LC refining may exist,which has the strongest impact on the pulp and highest refining efficiency under the same refining conditions.In addition,the impact capacity of the plate on the pulp and refining efficiency in LC refining can be enhanced by appropriately increasing the pulp consistency and average fiber length when the bar angle of the refiner plate with a sector angle of 40°is less than 30°.Therefore,the efficiency and power consumption of the LC refining process can be adjusted by optimizing the pulp consistency and bar parameters of the refining plates.

No-Load Iron Loss Model for a Fractional-Slot Surface-Mounted Permanent Magnet Motor Based on Magnetic Field Analytical Calculation

The common analytical models for the no-load iron loss of permanent magnet(PM)motors usually neglect the iron loss caused by the rotating magnetic field in the tooth tips and the harmonics of the magnetic fields in the teeth and yokes.This paper presents an analytical model for no-load iron loss of a fractional-slot surface-mounted permanent magnet motor.According to the existing analytical model of the magnetic field distribution in the slotted air gap,the magnetic flux densities considering the harmonics of the stator tooth and yoke are both derived based on the continuity of magnetic flux.Due to the complexity of the magnetic field in the tooth tip,the tangential flux density of the tooth tip is approximated by an equivalent sine wave and the radial component is regarded to be the same as that of the corresponding tooth.After obtaining the magnetic fields in stator different regions,the analytical iron loss is calculated by using the Bertotti model and the orthogonal decomposition model.A 20-pole/24-slot PM synchronous motor is taken as an example.The maximum error between the analytical model and finite element model(FEM)is 5.46%,which verifies the validity of the proposed method.

Effect of no-load rate on recast layer cutting by ultra fine wire-EDM

Via material erosion in wire electrical discharge machining(WEDM),recast layers form on the surfaces of workpiece.In addition,ultra fine Wire-EDM can be usually cut once.To reduce the thickness of the recast layer as much as possible,the wire electrical discharge-electrochemical machining(WEDCM)method was proposed,which is based on the micro conductivity of the dielectric and microelectrolytic characteristics by adjusting the no-load rate of the pulse in the machining process.Furthermore,a state discrimination and servo control system based on discharge current was designed.The experiment results of different no-load rates show that the electrolytic effects increase as the no-load rate increases,and the main machining process is spark discharge erosion with a no-load rate in the range of 10%to 80%.At 90%no-load rate,the amount of recast layer formation in the forward direction of the wire electrode is almost the same as that of electrolytic dissolution,and it can be practically processed without a recast layer.Compared with10%no-load rate,the kerf width only increases by 7.5%.

Study on S-shaped characteristic of Francis reversible unit by on-site test and CFD simulation

The operation parameters （vibration, shaft displacement and pressure fluctuation） of No. 1 Francis reversible unit of Baoquan pumped-storage power station were measured on site in the no-load mode at net heads of 518.04, 522.01 and 530.38 m, re- spectively. The rotational speed fluctuations in the no-load mode at three net heads were beyond synchronization requirement with obvious S-shaped characteristic, and misaligned guide vanes （MGV） had to be put into use for synchronization. Further analysis demonstrated that the rotating frequency signal was generally dominant in vibration and shaft displacement mixing signal in the no-load mode, while the frequency domain was wide without an obvious main frequency in pressure fluctuation mixing signal. Besides, the SSTκ-ω turbulence model was adopted to simulate the four quadrant characteristic curves of Baoquan model pump-turbine at three gate openings, and the relative error between simulation results and model test data was within ±6%, indicating that the simulation method in this paper is feasible and S-shaped characteristic of the pump-turbine can be simulated with CFD method.

Opening angles and residual strains in normal rat trachea

The no-load state and zero-stress state of the normal rat trachea were analyzed. It was found that there exist compressive residual strains in the inner wall region of the rat trachea and tensile residual strains in the outer wall region. The fact that the opening angle of the rat trachea cut at the cartilaginous region is significantly larger than that cut at the muscular portion shows that residual strains exist mainly in the muscular region in the rat trachea. It was also indicated that the opening angles and residual strains expressed by cutting at the muscular portion are basically identical along longitudinal location and those expressed by cutting in the cartilaginous region tend to increase in the longitudinal direction in the normal rat, and that there exists quantitatively positive correlation between the opening angles and residual strains in rat trachea. The results will help to further understand the opening angles and residual strains in the trachea and study tracheal remodeling in response to mechanical environment.
