In order to study the effects of geometrical parameters on wrinkling of rectangular wave-guide tubes, a 3D-FE model for rotary-draw bending processes of thin-walled rectangular aluminum alloy wave-guide tubes was built based on the platform of ABA-QUS/Explicit, and its reliability was validated by experiments. Simulation and analysis of the influence laws of geometrical parameters on the wave heights of inner flange and side wrinkling were then carried out. The results show that inner flange wrinkling is the main wrinkling way to rectan- gular wave-guide tubes in rotary-draw bending processes, but side wrinkling cannot be neglected because side wrinkling is 2/3 of inner flange wrinkling when b and h are smaller. Inner flange and side wrinkling increase with increasing b and h; the influence of b on side wrinkling is larger than that of h, while both b and h affect inner flange wrinkling greatly. Inner flange and side wrinkling decrease with increasing R/h; the influence of h on inner flange and side wrinkling is larger than that of R.展开更多

A substructure synthesistechnique is used to calculate the frequency responsefunction of the tool point, which is adopted to determinethe stability lobe diagram. Based on the Taguchi designmethod, simulations are first conducted for varying com-binations of tool overhang length, helix angle, and teethnumber. The optimal geometrical parameters of the tool aredetermined through an orthogonal analysis of the maxi-mum axial depth of cut, which is obtained from the pre-dicted stability lobe diagram. It was found that thesequence of every factor used to determine the optimal toolgeometrical parameters was the tool overhang length, teethnumber, and helix angle. Finally, a series of experimentswere carried out as a parameter study to determine theinfluence of the tool overhang length, helix angle, and teethnumber on the cutting stability of a mill.

A clear and deep understanding of the relationship between crack geometric parameters and rock mechanics properties in cracked rock is greatly important to the design of engineering rock mass struc‑tures. In this study, computed tomography (CT) scanning was used to extract the internal crack network of coal specimens. Based on the crack size and dominant crack number, the parameters of crack area, volume, length, width, and angle were statistically analyzed by diferent sampling thresholds. In addition, the Pearson correlation coefcients between the crack parameters and uniaxial compression rock mechanics properties (uniaxial compressive strength UCS, elasticity modulus E) were calculated to quantitatively analyze the impact of each parameter. Furthermore, a method based on Pearson coefcients was used to grade the correlation between crack geometric parameters and rock mechanical properties to determine threshold values. The results indicated that the UCS and E of the specimens changed with the varied internal crack structures of the specimens, the crack parameters of area, volume, length and width all showed negative correlations with UCS and E, and the dominant crack played an important role both in weakening strength and stifness. The crack parameters of the angle are all positively correlated with the UCS and E. More crack statistics can signifcantly improve the correlation between the parameters of the crack angle and the rock mechanics properties, and the statistics of the geometric parameters of at least 16 cracks or the area larger than 5 mm2 are suggested for the analysis of complex cracked rock masses or physical reproduction using 3D printing. The results are validated and further analyzed with triaxial tests. The fndings of this study have important reference value for future research regarding the accurate and efcient selection of a few cracks with a signifcant infuence on the rock mechanical properties of surrounding rock mass structures in coal engineering.展开更多

From a mechanical perspective, the vascular resistance at the artificially designed anastomosis causes an energy loss that affects blood flow rate growth and leads to early failure. This research studied how to maximize the RCAVF maturity and primary patency by controlling the energy loss rate. We theoretically analyzed and derived a model that evaluates the energy loss rate <em>E</em><sub><em>avf</em></sub> in RCAVF as a function of its blood vessel geometric parameters (GPs) for given flow rates. There was an aggregate of five controllable GPs in RCAVF: radial artery diameter (<em>D</em><sub><em>ra</em></sub>), cephalic vein diameter (<em>D</em><sub><em>cv</em></sub>), blood vessel distance between artery and vein (<em>h</em>), anastomotic diameter (<em>D</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>), and anastomotic angle (<em>θ</em>). Through this analysis, it was found that <em>E</em><sub><em>avf</em></sub> was inversely proportional to <em>D</em><sub><em>ra</em></sub>, <em>D</em><sub><em>cv</em></sub>, <em>D</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>, and <em>θ</em>, whereas proportional to <em>h</em>. Therefore, we recommended surgeons choose the vessels with large diameters, close distance, and increase the diameter and angle of the anastomosis to decrease the early failure of RCAVF. Simultaneously, we could explain the results of many clinical empiricisms with our formula. We found that increasing <em>D</em><sub><em>cv</em></sub> and <em>θ</em> was more significant in reducing <em>E</em><sub><em>avf</em></sub> than increasing <em>D</em><sub><em>ra</em></sub> and <em>D</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>. Based on our model, we could define two critical energy loss rates (<em>CEL</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>, <em>CEL</em><sub><em>b</em></sub>) to help surgeons evaluate the blood vessels and choose the ideal range of <em>θ</em>, and help them design the preoperative RCAVF plan for each patient to increase the maturity and the primary patency of RCAVF.</span>展开更多

There is potential in timesavings in the mould design stage because the design process that is repeatable for every mould design can be standardized. T he preliminary work of any final plastic injection mould design is to always pro vide an initial design of the mould assembly for product designers (customers) p rior to receiving the final product CAD data. Traditionally and even up till no w, this initial design is always created using 2D CAD packages. The information used for the initial design is based on the technical discussion checklist, in which most mould makers have their own standards. This checklist is also being used as a quotation since the most basic information of the mould in the particu lar project is being recorded in it. The basic information in this checklist in cludes the number of cavities, the type of mould base to be used, the moulding m achine to be used for the moulding, the type of gating system, the type of resin material used and its shrinkage value etc. Information on special requirements such as the number of sliders or lifters to be used is also listed in the check list. At this stage, there is still no information on the cooling and ejection design since they are greatly dependent on the final product CAD data. This res earch focuses on the methodology of providing the initial design in 3D solid bas ed on the technical discussion checklist, which takes the role of the overall st andard template since every sub-design has its own standard template. An examp le of a sub-design that has its own standard template is the cavity layout desi gn. The cavity layout for plastic injection moulds can be designed by controlli ng the geometrical parameters using a standardization template. The standardiza tion template for the cavity layout design consists of configurations for the po ssible layouts. Each configuration of the layout design has its own layout desi gn table of all the geometrical parameters. This standardization template is pr e-defined in the layout design level of the mould assembly design. This ensure s that the required configuration can be loaded into the mould assembly design v ery quickly without having the need to redesign the layout. This makes it usefu l for technical discussions between the product designers and mould designers pr ior to the manufacture of the mould. Changes can be made to the 3D cavity layou t design immediately during the discussions thus the savings in time and avo idance of miscommunications.展开更多

Both the core-valence correlation and the relativistic effect are considered. The extrapolating to the complete basis set (CBS) limit is adopted to remove the basis set truncation error. Geometrical parameters, potential energy curves (PECs), vibrational energy levels, spectroscopic constants, ionization po- tentials, and electron affinities of the ground electronic state for all these species are obtained. The information with respect to molecular characteristics of the SFn (n = -1, 0, + 1) systems derived in this work will help to extend our knowledge and to guide further experimental or theoretical researches.展开更多

Methods Adopting this method, the key problems of mismatch control and manufacturing of symmetric arcuate tooth trace gears are solved by using suitable cutter tilt and a new generating method with double-edge gear-wheel cutter. The machining principle is analyzed and the mathematical model of generating motion is established. Then the tooth flank equation and differential geometrical parameters are discussed. Results The minim alteration of cutter tilt will make the contact flank area change so as to satisfy the special requirements. It is easy to realize the tip relief of gearing by altering coefficients of every moving axis. Because the tooth has the arc shape, the symmetrical arcuate cylindrical gears have higher overall strength and it is easy to perform the flank grinding for high precision. Conclusion This new generating method has higher productivity. It is easy to get a perfect contact zone and fully give play to the potential bearing capacity of the gears. The symmetrical arcuate cylindrical gears can be used in highly durable and heavy duty gearing applications.展开更多

An effective algorithm is presented for the working voltage of DGAC using this model. The working voltage is nearly related to the geometric parameters of DGAC, the sensitivity of the circuitry and the number of discharges. Computing results confirm that the working voltage increases with the ratio of the radius of the anode to that of the cathode. The number of discharges follows the similar rule.展开更多

The modified equations have been used to calculate the activation energy (E) of commercial thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD), as well as of ZnO thermoluminescent material produced in laboratory;the values so determined have been compared to the values obtained using the classical expressions of the peak shape method. The modified equations proposed are as a function of peak shape parameters or the peak temperature at the maximum. This expression could be useful to obtain approximated E values in the case of complex glow curves as well, when the peaks are not well resolved but the peak temperature at the maximum may be easily determined.展开更多

Based on our model, we could define two critical energy loss rates (<em>CEL</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>, <em>CEL</em><sub><em>b</em></sub>) to help surgeons evaluate the blood vessels and choose the ideal range of <em>θ</em>, and help them design the preoperative RCAVF plan for each patient to increase the maturity and the primary patency of RCAVF.</span>

文摘Icing can significantly change the geometric parameters of wind turbine blades,which in turn,can reduce the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil.In-depth research is conducted in this study to identify the reasons for the decline of wind power equipment performance through the icing process.An accurate experimental test method is proposed in a natural environment that examines the growth and distribution of ice formation over the airfoil profile.The mathematical models of the airfoil chord length,camber,and thickness are established in order to investigate the variation of geometric airfoil parameters under different icing states.The results show that ice accumulation varies considerably along the blade span.By environmental temperature drop,the minimum and maximum extents of ice accumulation are observed near the blade root(0.2 R)and the blade tip(0.95 R),respectively(R represents the blade length).The icing process steadily increases the chord length and decreases the airfoil curvature,reaching the largest value at the blade tip region.Furthermore,the maximum curvature is reduced to 41.50%of the original curvature.The maximum camber position of the airfoil moves towards the trailing edge,and the most prominent position occurs at the middle blade region(0.6 R),where it moves back by 19.43%.Ice accumulation steadily increases airfoil thickness.It leads to the maximum thickness growth of 53.40%that occurs at the blade tip region and moves forward to the leading edge by 10%.The research results can provide the required theoretical support for further monitoring the blades operating conditions to ensure reliable wind turbines’operation.

文摘Based on the theory of vehicle-track coupling dynamics,the coupling dynamic model of the freight car mounted with the sub-frame bogies and the numerical model of curved track were established,utilizing the fast numerical integration method,the curving performance of the vehicle was simulated to study the influence of the curve geometric parameters such as curve radius,transition curve length and superelevation of outer rail on the wheel-rail dynamic interaction.The simulation results indicate that:(1)Increasing the curve radius can decrease the wheel-rail wear,but the effect will weaken while the curve radius is greater than 800m.(2)If the transition curve length is less than 30m,vibrations will appear at the transition-circle connecting point,and the smaller the transition length,the bigger the vibrations,the worse the wheel-rail wear,but when the length is bigger than 50m,its further variation has very little effect on wheel-rail wear.(3)The superelevation of outer rail can affect the distribution and difference of the inner and outer wheel-rail forces,and too large deficient or excessive superelevation will worsen the wheel-rail wear either.However,an appropriate deficient superelevation of outer rail(e.g.<20mm)is helpful to reduce the wheel-rail wear,which is consistent with the engineering practice of settling a certain deficient superelevation value.

文摘The leaf-vein drip irrigation emitter is a new type of drip emitter based on a bionic structure able to support shunting,sharp turns,and increased dissipation.In the present work,the results of twenty-five tests executed in the framework of an orthogonal design strategy are presented in order to clarify the influence of the geometrical parameters of the flow channel on the hydraulic characteristics of such emitter.The corresponding flow index and head loss coefficient are determined through numerical simulations and model testing.The results show that the flow index of the flow channel is 0.4970∼0.5461,which corresponds to good hydraulic performances.The head loss coefficient of the flow channel is 572.74∼3933.05,which in turn indicates a good energy dissipation effect.The order of influence of the leaf vein flow channel parameters on the flow index can be represented in a synthetic way as a>b>c>d>e,where(a)is the width of the inlet,(b)is the horizontal distance of the front water inlet,(c)is the vertical distance of the inner edge of the front end,(d)is the horizontal distance of the rear water outlet and(e)is the vertical distance of the outer edge of the front end.The flow index increases with d,decreases with a,first decreases,and then increases with b,and first increases and then decreases with the increase of c and e.The coefficient(R^(2))of the fitted model related to geometric parameters and flow index is 0.9986-0.9999.The relative errors among experimental testing,simulation calculation and predictive estimates are shown to be less than 5%.
文摘Today, the time-to-market for plastic products ar e getting shorter, thus the lead-time for making the injection mould is decreasin g. There is potential in timesavings in the mould design stage because the design process that is repeatable for every mould design can be standardized. T he preliminary work of any final plastic injection mould design is to always pro vide an initial design of the mould assembly for product designers (customers) p rior to receiving the final product CAD data. Traditionally and even up till no w, this initial design is always created using 2D CAD packages. The information used for the initial design is based on the technical discussion checklist, in which most mould makers have their own standards. This checklist is also being used as a quotation since the most basic information of the mould in the particu lar project is being recorded in it. The basic information in this checklist in cludes the number of cavities, the type of mould base to be used, the moulding m achine to be used for the moulding, the type of gating system, the type of resin material used and its shrinkage value etc. Information on special requirements such as the number of sliders or lifters to be used is also listed in the check list. At this stage, there is still no information on the cooling and ejection design since they are greatly dependent on the final product CAD data. This res earch focuses on the methodology of providing the initial design in 3D solid bas ed on the technical discussion checklist, which takes the role of the overall st andard template since every sub-design has its own standard template. An examp le of a sub-design that has its own standard template is the cavity layout desi gn. The cavity layout for plastic injection moulds can be designed by controlli ng the geometrical parameters using a standardization template. The standardiza tion template for the cavity layout design consists of configurations for the po ssible layouts. Each configuration of the layout design has its own layout desi gn table of all the geometrical parameters. This standardization template is pr e-defined in the layout design level of the mould assembly design. This ensure s that the required configuration can be loaded into the mould assembly design v ery quickly without having the need to redesign the layout. This makes it usefu l for technical discussions between the product designers and mould designers pr ior to the manufacture of the mould. Changes can be made to the 3D cavity layou t design immediately during the discussions thus the savings in time and avo idance of miscommunications.

文摘The SF radical and its singly charged cation and anion, SF+ and SF-, have been investigated on the MRCI/aug-cc- pVXZ (X = Q, 5, 6) levels of theory with Davidson correction. Both the core-valence correlation and the relativistic effect are considered. The extrapolating to the complete basis set (CBS) limit is adopted to remove the basis set truncation error. Geometrical parameters, potential energy curves (PECs), vibrational energy levels, spectroscopic constants, ionization po- tentials, and electron affinities of the ground electronic state for all these species are obtained. The information with respect to molecular characteristics of the SFn (n = -1, 0, + 1) systems derived in this work will help to extend our knowledge and to guide further experimental or theoretical researches.
文摘Objective To introduce a new generating method for the machining of a cylindrical gear with symmetric arcuate tooth trace. Methods Adopting this method, the key problems of mismatch control and manufacturing of symmetric arcuate tooth trace gears are solved by using suitable cutter tilt and a new generating method with double-edge gear-wheel cutter. The machining principle is analyzed and the mathematical model of generating motion is established. Then the tooth flank equation and differential geometrical parameters are discussed. Results The minim alteration of cutter tilt will make the contact flank area change so as to satisfy the special requirements. It is easy to realize the tip relief of gearing by altering coefficients of every moving axis. Because the tooth has the arc shape, the symmetrical arcuate cylindrical gears have higher overall strength and it is easy to perform the flank grinding for high precision. Conclusion This new generating method has higher productivity. It is easy to get a perfect contact zone and fully give play to the potential bearing capacity of the gears. The symmetrical arcuate cylindrical gears can be used in highly durable and heavy duty gearing applications.
文摘Based on analysis of the discharging course in double grid air counter (DGAC),the dischargin model is built up by applying the conception of average ionizing free path. An effective algorithm is presented for the working voltage of DGAC using this model. The working voltage is nearly related to the geometric parameters of DGAC, the sensitivity of the circuitry and the number of discharges. Computing results confirm that the working voltage increases with the ratio of the radius of the anode to that of the cathode. The number of discharges follows the similar rule.

文摘The aim of this paper is to give some simplified expressions related to the peak shape method. The modified equations have been used to calculate the activation energy (E) of commercial thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD), as well as of ZnO thermoluminescent material produced in laboratory;the values so determined have been compared to the values obtained using the classical expressions of the peak shape method. The modified equations proposed are as a function of peak shape parameters or the peak temperature at the maximum. This expression could be useful to obtain approximated E values in the case of complex glow curves as well, when the peaks are not well resolved but the peak temperature at the maximum may be easily determined.
