Neural Network Robust Control Based on Computed Torque for Lower Limb Exoskeleton

The lower limb exoskeletons are used to assist wearers in various scenarios such as medical and industrial settings.Complex modeling errors of the exoskeleton in different application scenarios pose challenges to the robustness and stability of its control algorithm.The Radial Basis Function(RBF)neural network is used widely to compensate for modeling errors.In order to solve the problem that the current RBF neural network controllers cannot guarantee the asymptotic stability,a neural network robust control algorithm based on computed torque method is proposed in this paper,focusing on trajectory tracking.It innovatively incorporates the robust adaptive term while introducing the RBF neural network term,improving the compensation ability for modeling errors.The stability of the algorithm is proved by Lyapunov method,and the effectiveness of the robust adaptive term is verified by the simulation.Experiments wearing the exoskeleton under different walking speeds and scenarios were carried out,and the results show that the absolute value of tracking errors of the hip and knee joints of the exoskeleton are consistently less than 1.5°and 2.5°,respectively.The proposed control algorithm effectively compensates for modeling errors and exhibits high robustness.

Simulation of Torque during Rod Rolling of HC SS316 at Low Strain Rate Using “Phantom-Roll” Method

Rolling torque for a seventeen passes, 125 x 125 mm HC SS316 billets rolled to a 16 mm diameter rod have been simulated. Torque calculations based on pressure exerted by the metal on the rolls and the area of contact during longitudinal rolling were obtained using the temperature values derived using the “Phantom Roll” method. Investigations were carried out for four different starting mean rolling temperatures between 988℃ and 1191℃ and at four different strain rates of 0.4s-1, 0.8s-1, 1.2 s-1 and 1.6s-1. Results obtained showed that for all cases, rolling in grooved rolls required higher torque compared to rolling in flat rolls. In general, it was observed that torque value increased as starting temperature decreases and for each set of starting temperatures, the torque value increases with temperature. In all cases, the torque values for grooved rolls were higher than those for flat rolls. This was due to the higher frictional effect, occasioned by the larger contact area between roll and stock. Results obtained also revealed an inverse relationship between strain rate and torque.

A bionic flexible manipulator driven by pneumatic muscle actuator(PMA)can better reflect the flexibility of the mechanism.Current research on PMA mainly focuses on the modeling and control strategy of the pneumatic manipulator system.Compared with traditional electro-hydraulic actuators,the structure of PMA is simple but possesses strong nonlinearity and flexibility,which leads to the difficulty in improving the control accuracy.In this paper,the configuration design of a bionic flexible manipulator is performed by human physiological map,the kinematic model of the mechanism is established,and the dynamics is analyzed by Lagrange method.A fuzzy torque control algorithm is designed based on the computed torque method,where the fuzzy control theory is applied.The hardware experimental system is established.Through the co-simulation contrast test on MATLAB and ADAMS,it is found that the fuzzy torque control algorithm has better tracking performance and higher tracking accuracy than the computed torque method,and is applied to the entity control test.The experimental results show that the fuzzy torque algorithm can better control the trajectory tracking movement of the bionic flexible manipulator.This research proposes a fuzzy torque control algorithm which can compensate the error more effectively,and possesses the preferred trajectory tracking performance.

Torque Calculation of Five-Phase Synchronous Reluctance Motors With Shifted-Asymmetrical-Salient-Poles Under Saturation Condition

In traditional analytical method(AM),the magnetic saturation is always ignored to simplify the calculation process.However,synchronous reluctance motors(SynRMs)often operate around saturation point to achieve higher torque density.Therefore,a new AM is proposed,in which the saturation of stator iron has been considered.The key of the proposed method includes a saturation factor,and an iterative method is adopted to compute the saturation factor in the SynRM by increasing the air-gap length.Especially,the proposed AM can be applied to a SynRM even with shifted-asymmetrical-salient-poles.In the process of AM,the expression of stator magnetomotive force(MMF)is built firstly.Additionally,the air-gap density including slotting effect and salient-poles is calculated.Then,the rotor MMF under saturation of the stator iron is obtained.Therefore,the precision of the instantaneous torque can be improved significantly.Eventually,by the verification of finite elements method(FEM)and experiments,the torque performance of SynRMs with shifted asymmetrical rotor can be predicted accurately by the proposed AM.

Better torque performance and higher reliability have long been the focus of research for slotted limited-angle torque motors(LATMs),which are primarily used to position first-stage valves in electrohydraulic servosystems.This paper presents a high reliability axial-flux slotted LATM with quasi-Halbach array for torque performance improvement including constant torque range(CTR)and output torque.Firstly,the structure with two sets of windings and the operation principle of the proposed slotted LATM is analyzed.Secondly,a brief design procedure is presented,the structure selections of open slot and double-stator single-rotor(DSSR)interior rotor with surface mounted quasi-Halbach permanent magnet(PM)array are illustrated,and the geometric parameters are optimized to obtain the optimal design of the proposed slotted LATM.Then,3-D finite-element method(FEM)is employed to compare the proposed slotted LATM with the conventional surface mounted PM slotted LATM in terms of cogging torque,no-load back EMF,and output torque,and the results show that the proposed LATM with quasi-Halbach array has a 10%improvement in output torque and a 25%improvement in CTR.Meanwhile,the flux linkages and torque performance of the two sets of windings under various conditions verify good magnetic isolation.Finally,prototypes of two different rotor types are manufactured and a series of experiments are performed to validate the analysis.

Accuracy improvement of the traditional rolling force and torque model powered by an industrial data platform

The calculation results of the rolling force and torque model based on Orowan's differential equation numerical solution method do not fit with the industrial measurements very well.In particular,a quite large deviation on the torque model was found.On the basis of analyzing the shortcomings of the existing method,an improved rolling force and torque model algorithm aided by the Process Integrated Data Application System platform is proposed.Accordingly,the calculation accuracy of the rolling torque model is improved.The improved models are verified by 1711136 records of a data platform.The improved models are also based on Orowan's differential equation.Two coefficients,namely,friction factor and forward slip,are recognized as the crucial factors to be determined from industrial measurements to improve the accuracy.Therefore,the proposed method is a hybrid method that can be used to deeply understand the rolling process and improve the model's accuracy by combining traditional plastic mechanics and data-driving global optimization algorithms.This paper proposes a new approach to studying theoretical rolling deformation models powered by the industrial data platform.

A numerical method for determining the stuck point in extended reach drilling

A stuck drill string results in a major non-productive cost in extended reach drilling engineering. The first step is to determine the depth at which the sticking has occurred. Methods of measurement have been proved useful for determining the stuck points, but these operations take considerable time. As a result of the limitation with the current operational practices, calculation methods are still preferred to estimate the stuck point depth. Current analytical methods do not consider friction and are only valid for vertical rather than extended reach wells. The numerical method is established to take full account of down hole friction, tool joint, upset end of drill pipe, combination drill strings and tubular materials so that it is valid to determine the stuck point in extended reach wells. The pull test, torsion test and combined test of rotation and pulling can be used to determine the stuck point. The results show that down hole friction, tool joint, upset end of drill pipe, tubular sizes and materials have significant effects on the pull length and/or the twist angle of the stuck drill string.

The application of new soft magnetic materials in permanent magnet motor can effectively reduce the loss of motor and improve the efficiency of motor. Taguchi method is a local multivariable and multi-objective optimization method widely used in various engineering problems, which can effectively improve the efficiency of engineering optimization. In this paper, based on a 25 kW, 1700 r/min three-phase permanent magnet motor, the relevant motor model is established in the finite element simulation software, and the relevant simulation analysis is carried out. Combined with Taguchi method optimization, the local optimal structure scheme is obtained.

Through this optimization, the overall performance of the motor has been significantly improved. The research content of this paper verifies the feasibility of the application of Taguchi method in the optimization of new soft magnetic material motor, provides a new idea for the optimization design of new soft magnetic material motor, and also provides a certain reference for the local multi-objective optimization of the electromagnetic structure of other similar motors.

A New Differential Operator Method to Study the Mechanical Vibration

In this paper, we propose a unified differential operator method to study mechanical vibrations, solving inhomogeneous linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients. The main advantage of this new method is that the differential operator D in the numerator of the fraction has no effect on input functions (i.e., the derivative operation is removed) because we take the fraction as a whole part in the partial fraction expansion. The method in various variants is widely implemented in related fields in mechanics and engineering. We also point out that the same mistakes in the differential operator method are found in the related references [1-4].

Research and experimental analysis of precision degradation method based on the ball screw mechanism

As a key transmission component in computer numerical control(CNC) machine tools,the ball screw mechanism(BSM) is usually investigated under working load conditions. Its accuracy degradation process is relatively long,which is not conducive to the design and development of new products. In this paper,the normal wear depth of the BSM nut raceway is calculated under the variable speed operation condition using the fractal wear analysis method and the BSM’s accelerated degradation proportional wear model. Parameters of the acceleration degradation model of the double-nut preloaded ball screw pair are calculated based on the physical simulation results. The accelerated degradation test platform of the BSM is designed and manufactured to calculate the raceway wear model when the lubrication condition is broken under the variable-speed inertial load and the boundary lubrication condition under the uniform speed state. Three load forces and two samples are selected for the accelerated degradation test of the BSM. The measured friction torque of the BSM is employed as the evaluation index of the accuracy degradation test. In addition,the life cycle of the accuracy retention is accurately calculated by employing the parameters of the physical simulation model of the BSM. The calculations mentioned above can be used to estimate BSM’s accuracy performance degradation law under normal operating conditions. The application of the proposed model provides a new research method for researching the precision retention of the BSM.
