Intelligent design of investment casting mold based on a hybrid reasoning method

A hybrid reasoning model was proposed in which CBR(case-based reasoning)was applied to the conceptual design and RBR(rule-based reasoning)was applied to the detailed design after research of the design process and domain knowledge of the aero-engine turbine blade investment casting mold design field.In the conceptual design stage,the representation and retrieval technologies were researched which improve the retrieval efficiency.Meanwhile,RBR was used to modify the retrieval result.The experimentation shows that the approach in this study can be used to obtain a more satisfactory design result.

Research on the intelligent design system for investment casting die of aero-engine turbine blade based on knowledge

To solve the problems in turbine blade investment casting die design process such as long design time,lacking of expert experience and low level of intelligence,knowledge-based engineering (KBE) was introduced in the turbine blade investment casting die design field. The key technologies of the intelligent design method were researched and a prototype system was developed. A hybrid reasoning model was prompted in which case-based reasoning (CBR) was applied to conceptual design and rule-based reasoning (RBR) was applied to parts design after research the design process and domain knowledge of casting die. In the conceptual design stage,a retrieval model which integrated nearest neighbor approach and knowledge-based retrieval approach was prompted to improve the retrieval efficiency. Meanwhile,RBR was used to modify the retrieval result. The practical application results indicate that this system can reuse the expert experience efficiently and heighten the die design efficiency and quality.

Dynamics modeling and pressure control of composites tape winding system based on LQSMC

Pressure fluctuations during the composite fiber winding process seriously affect the produces compactness strength,fatigue resistance,stress uniformity,and resin content.The accuracy of pressure control systems is affected by nonlinear disturbances,such as friction,parameter perturbation,and measurement noise.A robust control algorithm based on linear quadratic optimal control and sliding mode control(LQSMC)is proposed to overcome these problems.The method is based on the system state space expression and linear quadratic optimal control.The state space model of the system is improved by using a Kalman filter and control input for state estimation,and a new sliding surface equation is defined.The ameliorated control algorithm exhibits good performance and can effectively suppress sliding mode control(SMC)chattering.Simulation and experimental results show that LQSMC offers high control precision,much stronger antiinterference,and robustness,which can effectively improve the positioning and tracking accuracy of a pressure control system compared with linear quadratic optimal control(LQC).The winding pressure control precision is improved by 45%to 50%.The results show that the porosity of composite fiber tape winding products decreased thanks to our method.
