Bidirectional rotating direct-current triboelectric nanogenerator with self-adaptive mechanical switching for harvesting reciprocating motion

Amid the growing interest in triboelectric nanogenerators(TENGs)as novel energy-harvesting devices,several studies have focused on direct current(DC)TENGs to generate a stable DC output for operating electronic devices.However,owing to the working mechanisms of conventional DC TENGs,generating a stable DC output from reciprocating motion remains a challenge.Accordingly,we propose a bidirectional rotating DC TENG(BiR-TENG),which can generate DC outputs,regardless of the direction of rotation,from reciprocating motions.The distinct design of the BiR-TENG enables the mechanical rectification of the alternating current output into a rotational-direction-dependent DC output.Furthermore,it allows the conversion of the rotational-direction-dependent DC output into a unidirectional DC output by adapting the configurations depending on the rotational direction.Owing to these tailored design strategies and subsequent optimizations,the BiR-TENG could generate an effective unidirectional DC output.Applications of the BiR-TENG for the reciprocating motions of swinging doors and waves were demonstrated by harnessing this output.This study demonstrates the potential of the BiR-TENG design strategy as an effective and versatile solution for energy harvesting from reciprocating motions,highlighting the suitability of DC outputs as an energy source for electronic devices.

Effect of wire diameter compression ratio on drawing deformation of micro copper wire

A crystal plasticity finite element model was developed for the drawing deformation of pure copper micro wire,based on rate-dependent crystal plasticity theory.The impact of wire diameter compression ratio on the micro-mechanical deformation behavior during the wire drawing process was investigated.Results indicate that the internal deformation and slip of the drawn wire are unevenly distributed,forming distinct slip and non-slip zones.Additionally,horizontal strain concentration bands develop within the drawn wire.As the wire diameter compression ratio increases,the strength of the slip systems and the extent of slip zones inside the deformation zone also increase.However,the fluctuating stress state,induced by contact pressure and frictional stress,results in a rough and uneven wire surface and diminishes the stability of the drawing process.

Modeling asymmetric fracture mechanics of Mg alloy wire in drawing process

In this study,a numerical analysis was conducted on the ductile fracture of a 2-mm diameter Mg-1Zn-0.5Mn-0.5Sr-0.1Ca alloy wire during drawing.The hexagonally close-packed crystal structure of Mg alloys causes asymmetric fracture behavior,especially in the compression region.The aim of this study is to develop a comprehensive damage model for Mg alloy wire that accurately predicts ductile fracture,with a focus on the compression region.A novel experimental method was introduced to measure the ductile fracture of Mg alloy wires under different stress states.The wire drawing process was simulated using the Generalized Incremental Stress-State dependent damage(GISSMO)Model and the Semi-Analytical Model for Polymers(SAMP)model.The damage model's prediction and the experimental results were found to be in excellent agreement,especially in determining crack initiation.Computational analysis established a safe zone diagram for die angle and reduction ratio,and experimental validation confirmed the feasibility of this approach.The proposed damage model can provide a practical and reliable analysis for optimizing the drawing process of Mg alloy wire.

Dynamic Economic Scheduling with Self-Adaptive Uncertainty in Distribution Network Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

Traditional optimal scheduling methods are limited to accurate physical models and parameter settings, which aredifficult to adapt to the uncertainty of source and load, and there are problems such as the inability to make dynamicdecisions continuously. This paper proposed a dynamic economic scheduling method for distribution networksbased on deep reinforcement learning. Firstly, the economic scheduling model of the new energy distributionnetwork is established considering the action characteristics of micro-gas turbines, and the dynamic schedulingmodel based on deep reinforcement learning is constructed for the new energy distribution network system with ahigh proportion of new energy, and the Markov decision process of the model is defined. Secondly, Second, for thechanging characteristics of source-load uncertainty, agents are trained interactively with the distributed networkin a data-driven manner. Then, through the proximal policy optimization algorithm, agents adaptively learn thescheduling strategy and realize the dynamic scheduling decision of the new energy distribution network system.Finally, the feasibility and superiority of the proposed method are verified by an improved IEEE 33-node simulationsystem.

Influence of drawing process parameters on forming of micro copper tube with straight grooves

Using high-speed oil-filled spinning method,high quality micro copper tube with straight grooves（MCTSG） with an outer diameter of 6 mm was obtained.Then,MCTSG with an outer diameter of 3-6 mm was fabricated successfully by multi-pass drawing processing method.The influence of drawing parameters on the forming of micro straight grooves was investigated based on the forming mechanism.The results show that the values of groove depth and width decrease,while the wall thickness increases as the drawing diameter decreases.At the same time,the groove depth and width increase,while the wall thickness decreases as the die angle increases.The drawing force increases as the reduction increases.Excessive copper tube reduction may results in groove folding and segmental teeth.The drawing force decreases firstly and then increases with the increases in die angle.When the die angle α is 16°,the drawing force is the smallest,indicating 16° is the optimal angle.

Microstructure and texture of commercially pure titanium in cold deep drawing

The development of microstructure and texture during cold deep drawing of commercially pure titanium（CP-Ti） was investigated.Three parts,stretching region,drawing region and flange region,were sequentially formed in the deep drawing process of the hemispheric surface part,with reference to deformation modes and strain regimes.Results show that the plastic strain is accommodated by dislocation slip and deformation twinning in the whole deep drawing process.The texture of the CP-Ti sheet and its drawn part consists of rolling texture component and recrystallization texture component.The intensity and type of the initial texture varied during the drawing process are related to the production of deformation twinning and dislocation slip.Twinning weakens the initial texture by randomizing the orientations of crystals,especially for the recrystallization texture.The recrystallization texture in the drawing region disappears due to the significant forming of twinning.Furthermore,over drawing would result in the predominance of dislocation slip and the texture is strengthened.

Texture evolution and its simulation of cold drawing copper wires produced by continuous casting

The texture evolution of cold drawing copper wires produced by continuous casting was measured by X-ray diffractometry and electron back-scatter diffractometry,and was simulated using Taylor model.The results show that in the drawn poly-crystal copper wires produced by traditional continuous casting,111 and 100 duplex fiber texture forms,and with increasing strain,the intensities of 111 and 100 increase.In the drawn single-crystal copper wires produced by Ohno continuous casting,100 rotates to 111,and there is inhomogeneous distribution of fiber texture along radial direction of the wires,which is caused by the distribution of shear deformation.Compared with 100,111 fiber texture is more stable in the drawn copper wires.Comparison of the experimental results with the simulated results shows that the simulation by Taylor model can analyze the texture evolution of drawn copper wires.

Numerical simulation of LWD resistivity response of carbonate formation using self-adaptive hp-FEM

Most of the carbonate formation are highly heterogeneous with cavities of different sizes, which makes the prediction of cavity-filled reservoir in carbonate rocks difficult. Large cavities in carbonate formations pose serious threat to drilling operations. Logging-whiledrilling （LWD） is currently used to accurately identify and evaluate cavities in reservoirs during drilling. In this study, we use the self-adaptive hp-FEM algorithm simulate and calculate the LWD resistivity responses of fracture-cavity reservoir cavities. Compared with the traditional h-FEM method, the self-adaptive hp-FEM algorithm has the characteristics of the self-adaptive mesh refinement and the calculations exponentially converge to highly accurate solutions. Using numerical simulations, we investigated the effect of the cavity size, distance between cavity and borehole, and transmitted frequency on the LWD resistivity response. Based on the results, a method for recognizing cavities is proposed. This research can provide the theoretical basis for the accurate identification and quantitative evaluation of various carbonate reservoirs with cavities encountered in practice.

Effect of electropulsing on deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy during cold drawing

Electron backscattered diffraction （EBSD） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） were used to investigate effect of electropulsing on microstructure and texture evolution of Ti-6Al-4V during cold drawing. Research results demonstrate that the electropulsing treatment （EPT） can enhance the deformability of the grains with unfavorable orientations, which makes the compatibility of deformation among grains much better. A comparison in texture evolution between conventional cold drawing and EPT cold drawing indicates that the EPT promotes prismatic 〈a〉 slip moving, restricts pyramidal 〈c＋a〉 slip occurring and accommodates the deformation with c-component by grain boundary sliding. The fraction decrease of low-angle grain boundaries for samples deformed with EPT reveals that the application of electropulsing restricts the formation of the incidental dislocation boundaries and the geometrically necessary boundaries.

Effects of stress state on texture and microstructure in cold drawing-bulging of CP-Ti sheet

Three different stress states of the combination of tensile（t） stress and compressive（c） stress,t t,t c and t c c,exist in the deformed commercially pure titanium（CP-Ti） sheet during cold drawing-bulging.The textures and microstructures in the different stress state regions were investigated by means of XRD and TEM analysis.Similar development of texture and microstructure is achieved with less thickness strain under multiaxial stresses in drawing-bulging than in cold rolling.The results show that texture and microstructure are much sensitive to multiaxial stresses.Twinning is more easily activated under compressive stress than tensile stress.Prism a slip is heavily affected by tensile stress,resulting in a remarkable change of the intensity of（0°,35°,0°） texture,while pyramidal c＋a slip,forming（20°,35°,30°） texture,weakens with the increase of thickness strain in spite of stress state.

EVOLUTIONARY FUZZY GUIDANCE LAW WITH SELF-ADAPTIVE REGION

Effective guidance is one of the most important tasks to the performance of air-to-air missile. The fuzzy logic controller is able to perform effectively even in situations where the information about the plant is inaccurate and the operating conditions are uncertain. Based on the proportional navigation, the fuzzy logic and the genetic algorithm are combined to develop an evolutionary fuzzy navigation law with self-adapt region for the air-to-air missile guidance. The line of sight (LOS) rate and the closing speed between the missile and the target are inputs of the fuzzy controller. The output of the fuzzy controller is the commanded acceleration. Then a nonlinear function based on the conventional fuzzy logic control is imported to change the region. This nonlinear function can be changed with the input variables. So the dynamic change of the fuzzy variable region is achieved. The guidance law is optimized by the genetic algorithm. Simulation results of air-to-air missile attack using MATLAB show that the method needs less acceleration and shorter flying time, and its realization is simple.[KH*3/4D]

Application of ultra-smooth composite diamond film coated WC-Co drawing dies under water-lubricating conditions

A specific revised HFCVD apparatus and a novel process combining HFCVD and polishing technique were presented to deposit the micro-and nano-crystalline multilayered ultra-smooth diamond（USCD） film on the interior-hole surface of WC-Co drawing dies with aperture ranging from d1.0 mm to 60 mm.Characterization results indicate that the surface roughness values（Ra） in the entry zone,drawing zone and bearing zone of as-fabricated USCD coated drawing die were measured as low as 25.7,23.3 and 25.5 nm,respectively.Furthermore,the friction properties of USCD films were examined in both dry sliding and water-lubricating conditions,and the results show that the USCD film presents much superior friction properties.Its friction coefficients against ball-bearing steel,copper and silicon nitride balls（d4 mm）,is always lower than that of microcrystalline diamond（MCD） or WC-Co sample,regardless of the lubricating condition.Meanwhile,it still presents competitive wear resistance with the MCD films.Finally,the working lifetime and performance of as-fabricated USCD coated drawing dies were examined under producing low-carbon steel pipes in dry-sliding and water-lubricating conditions.Under the water-lubricating drawing condition,its production significantly increases by about 20 times compared with the conventional WC-Co drawing dies.

Flexible die drawing of magnesium alloy sheet by superimposing ultrasonic vibration

Combining solid granule medium forming technology with ultrasonic vibration plastic forming technology, ultrasonic vibration granule medium forming （UGMF） technology was proposed. To reveal the effect of ultrasonic vibration on flexible-die deep drawing, an ultrasonic vibration with a frequency of 20 kHz and a maximum output of 1.5 kW was on the solid granule medium deep drawing of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet. The results revealed that ultrasonic vibration promotes the pressure transmission performance of the granule medium and the formability of the sheet. The forming load declines with the ultrasonic amplitude during the drawing process as a result of the combined influence of the ＂surface effect＂ and the ＂softening＂ of the ＂volume effect＂.

BIO-INSPIRED SELF-ADAPTIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM CONTROL ARCHITECTURE

Future manufacturing systems need to cope with frequent changes and disturbances, therefore their control architectures require constant adaptability, agility, stability, self-organization, intelligence, and robustness. Bio-inspired manufacturing system can well satisfy these requirements. For this purpose, by referencing the biological organization structure and the mechanism, a bio-inspired manufacturing cell is presented from a novel view, and then a bio-inspired self-adaptive manufacturing model is established based on the ultra-short feedback mechanism of the neuro-endocrine system. A hio-inspired self-adaptive manufacturing system coordinated model is also established based on the neuro-endocrine-immunity system （NEIS）. Finally, an example based on pheromone communication mechanism indicates that the robustness of the whole manufacturing system is improved by bio-inspired technologies.

Effects of tribological behavior of DLC film on micro-deep drawing processes

To decrease the size effects of friction in microforming, three kinds of surface coatings, such as diamond-like carbon（DLC）, TiN and MoS2, were deposited on surfaces of dies with plasma based ion implantation and deposition（PBII D） method and magnetron sputtering technique, respectively. The tribological behavior of surface coatings was analyzed considering plastic deformation of specimen at contact interface. The analyses indicate that there is a lower coefficient of friction（COF） and a high wear resistance under the condition of large strain/stress when using the DLC film. The graphitization of DLC film occurs after 100 times of tests. The mechanism of graphitization was analyzed considering energy induced by friction work. The effects of DLC film properties on qualities of micro-deep drawn parts were investigated by analyzing the reduction of wall thickness, etc. The results indicate that DLC film is very helpful for improving the qualities of the micro-parts.

Effect of friction coefficient in deep drawing of AA6111 sheet at elevated temperatures

The effect of friction coefficient on the deep drawing of aluminum alloy AA6111 at elevated temperatures was analyzed based on the three conditions using the finite element analysis and the experimental approach.Results indicate that the friction coefficient and lubrication position significantly influence the minimum thickness,the thickness deviation and the failure mode of the formed parts.During the hot forming process,the failure modes are draw mode,stretch mode and equi-biaxial stretch mode induced by different lubrication conditions.In terms of formability,the optimal value of friction coefficient determined in this work is 0.15.At the same time,the good agreement is performed between the experimental and simulated results.Fracture often occurs at the center of cup bottom or near the cup corner in a ductile mode or ductile-brittle mixed mode,respectively.
