The quadratic B-spline curve fitting for the shape of log cross sections

This paper describes a new method for simulation of the cross section shape of log. The self-developed MQK3102 log shape recognizing machine was used to acquire the finite discrete sampling points on the cross section of log and those points were fitted with the quadratic B-spline parametric curve. This method can clearly stimulate the real shape of the log cross section and is characterized by limited sampling points and high speed computing. The computed result of the previous curve does not affect the next one, which may avoid the graphic distortion caused by the accumulative error. The method can be used to simulate the whole body shape of log approximately by sampling the cross sections along the length direction of log, thus providing a reference model for optimum saw cutting of log.

Theoretical and experimental investigation on internal gear pair with small sliding ratio

Aiming at the issue of sliding ratio,an internal gear pair is proposed which consists of an involute internal gear and a pinion with quadratic curve teeth.Particularly,the contact pattern is point contact and the pinion is generated based on an involute gear.The generation method and mathematical models of the gear pair are presented.The sliding ratio is calculated and the general calculation formulas of sliding ratios are developed.Also,the comparison between the involute gear and proposed gear is made.The adaptability of center distance and contact stress are also discussed.In addition,the gear pair was manufactured and inspected according to the exactitude solid model of the gear pair.In order to confirm this model to be effective,the efficiency experiment and the contrast experiment with the involute gear pair were performed.Furthermore,these two types of pinions were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and wear depths were measured by measuring center.The experiment results show that the efficiency of the internal gear pair is stable at a range about 97.1%to 98.6%and wear depth is less than 50%of the involute gear pair.The internal gear pair is expected to have excellent transmission performance.

Existence of Limit Cycles for a Cubic Kolmogorov System with a Hyperbolic Solution

This paper is concerned with a cubic Kolmogorov system with a solution of central quadratic curve which neither contacts with the coordinate axes, nor passes through the origin. The conclusion is that such a system may possess limit cycles.

Parameterization based on maximum curvature minimization model

Parameterization is one of the key problems in the construction of a curve to interpolate a set of ordered points. We propose a new local parameterization method based on the curvature model in this paper. The new method determines the knots by mi- nimizing the maximum curvature of quadratic curve. When the knots by the new method are used to construct interpolation curve, the constructed curve have good precision. We also give some comparisons of the new method with existing methods, and our method can perform better in interpolation error, and the interpolated curve is more fairing.

Extraction and evolution of grader’s bionic morphological feature line using shape structure behavior function model

To improve the innovation of agricultural machinery product styling,this paper proposes a shape structure behavior function(SSBF)model suitable for the industrial design field.The feature line evolution method combining shape grammar and genetic algorithm was used for modelling the of the grader,which not only maintains the product style characteristics but also reflects the typical identification characteristics of the bionic prototype and produces a new product modelling scheme.By conducting cognitive and recognition experiments on product styling features,the ranking of product styling features and the contribution of each component to product styling were determined.The method of combining shape grammar and quadratic Bézier curve was used to express and encode feature lines,and genetic algorithm was used to evolve biomimetic forms to form product feature lines with typical biological morphological features;The extracted form bionic elements were integrated into the grader modelling design,and the interaction evaluation was carried out through the genetic algorithm evolution scheme.The basic form elements were extracted and analyzed,and the deduction rules were formulated and reorganized.The derived feature line geometric data considered the product’s image features and the bio-inspired prototype,which can be used for the follow-up guidance of industrial design schemes.

Active steering control strategy for articulated vehicles

To improve maneuverability and stability of articulated vehicles, we design an active steering controller, including tractor and trailer controllers, based on linear quadratic regulator(LQR) theory. First, a three-degree-of-freedom(3-DOF) model of the tractor-trailer with steered trailer axles is built. The simulated annealing particle swarm optimization(SAPSO) algorithm is applied to identify the key parameters of the model under specified vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. Thus, the key parameters of the simplified model can be obtained according to the vehicle conditions using an online look-up table and interpolation. Simulation results show that vehicle parameter outputs of the simplified model and Truck Sim agree well, thus providing the ideal reference yaw rate for the controller. Then the active steering controller of the tractor and trailer based on LQR is designed to follow the desired yaw rate and minimize their side-slip angle of the center of gravity(CG) at the same time. Finally, simulation tests at both low speed and high speed are conducted based on the Truck Sim-Simulink program. The results show significant effects on the active steering controller on improving maneuverability at low speed and lateral stability at high speed for the articulated vehicle. The control strategy is applicable for steering not only along gentle curves but also along sharp curves.
