Abstract:Continuously Variable Transmission （CVT） equipped vehicle improves its power performance by ensure the engine works on its peak power point under each throttle angle. This method didn’t pay any attention to the CVT efficiency, which also has influences on power performance of the system. Based on the analysis of how CVT efficiency influences power performance of the system, an optimal algorithm is proposed to calculate the target CVT ratio to achieve maximum power performance with consideration of CVT efficiency. A simulation model is established to validate the optimal algorithm. Simulation results indicate that the acceleration time from 0 km to 100 km of the system veduced by 0.63 s.

Abstract:The current cycloid reducer drive has the shortage of needing special output mechanism, large volume and high vibration. To solve this problem, a new gyratory fixedspindle cycloid drive is designed. The drive principle of the reducer is introduced.

On the basis of discussion of the mechanism and the principles of gear connection, a prototype is designed and manufactured. The results of the prototype test on the gear test rig indicate that the transmission efficiency of the new drive may reach 91.9% at rated operating conditions, the biggest vibration velocity effective value is 3.09 mm/s, and the biggest structure noise is 101.6 dB.

Abstract:When multidisk clutch is in disengaged operation, friction plates and mating plates may not separate absolutely. To avoid the slipping friction caused by this and reduce the clutch’s overheating, the lubricant pressure between the plates should be welldistributed in design. With the use of ANSYS/FLOTRAN software, 3D finite element models of six different channel flow structures are established. Using finite element method and the fluid dynamic theory, the flow field is analyzed, and then the law of the influence of different channel flow structures on oil pressure distribution between the plates is summarized. The result of the study shows that the four squirt holes at right side with perforated structure are better than those without, and squirt holes with the cone or stepped shape are better than those with column shape, which means that with the two improvements of the channel flow structure, the lubricant pressure distribution can be uniformed.

Abstract:Based on study of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHD) and meshing theory of planar worm gear drive, EHD model for the drive is proposed. Minimum film thickness on the whole contact area is calculated. EHD status for the drive is analyzed. The distributions of film thickness show that, EHD status during entry engagement is better than that during exit engagement, and EHD status of worm addendum area is better than that of dedendum area. Influencing factors such as work conditions and optimized parameters along with their effects were analyzed. Theoretical analysis suggests that the optimizing pressure angle and increasing worm pitch diameter have influence on improving lubricant performance of the planar worm gear drive.

The optimization of a practical example using mixeddiscrete combined programming is performed. The result shows that the proposed method of modeling and optimization design can effectively reduce the wind turbines gearbox vibration levels and weight.

Abstract:Abstract:In the ultrasound imaging system, the main shortage of apodization technology is that, there is a better image resolution only in a limited region, out of the region, the resolution is significantly lower. The segment dynamic apodization can make up the shortcoming. After analyzing kinds of the 3dB isograms of the apodization function, the limited region with the best image resolution has been obtained. By way of subleading into the relevant apodization function, the segment dynamic apodization technology is implemented and used to plot the 3dB isogram and simulate the image. Simulation results show that the proposed method of segment dynamic apodization technology, can improve the image quality effectively.

Abstract:Focusing on the problem that affine transformation will exist among the contour images due to variation of the viewpoints, a new approach to extract affine invariant features and matching strategy is proposed for shape recognition. First, the centroid distance and azimuth angle of each boundary point are computed. Then, with a priordefined angle interval, all the points in the neighbor region of the sample point are considered to calculate the average distance for eliminating noise. After that, the centroid distance ratios(CDRs) of any two contour points with angle difference of 180° are achieved as the representation of the shape, which would be invariant to affine transformation. Since the angles of contour points changed nonlinearly among affine related images, the CDRs should be resampled to build corresponding relationship. It could be regarded as an optimization problem of path planning. In our method, a PSObased path planning model is presented to address this problem. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method in shape recognition with translation, scaling, rotation, distortion and noise interference.

Abstract:Yangtianqing tailings dam is a new dam planned for a copper mine. At the design period, test in laboratory is carried out to simulate the process of dam pile based on the design information of Yangtianqing tailings dam. And the regularity of the saturation lines’ change at the condition of flood and normal is studied, when the dam have been heaped to the about 2/3 of the total height (120 m). Based on the test data, the stability coefficients of the dam at this height in different conditions are obtained with the Slide software, and they could be served for the following test and the mine’s future safety production. It is shown that the dam is safe in the normal condition, while in the condition of flood, the stability coefficient is less than the benchmark in national standard. Thus, it is necessary to rectify the preliminary design or to take other measures to ensure the safety of the tailings dam.

Abstract:To discuss the mechanism of gas pressure in coal and gas outburst process，with the constant of moulding pressure，moisture and forced status of the outburst coal sample, five outburst experiments of the different gas pressure are simulated by the independently developed coal and gas outburst simulation test device and the same coal sample. It is found that coal and gas outburst could produce pyriform or elliptic holes with small mouth and big belly. And the volume of hole to the volume of outburst coal is from 1/2 to 2/3. Moreover, there is a threshold value of gas pressure for coal and gas outburst and greater with the increase of outburst intensity. As the force of outburst, the gas pressure has a certain effect of ejection and porphyrization on the outburst coal powders. The coal sample temperature varies continuously with the trend of rising firstly and decreasing subsequently. And the grads of coal temperature can be adopted for predicting the coal and gas outburst.

Abstract:Based on EulerianLagrangian coupling algorithm, the performance parameters of Fanshaped airblast atomizer is simulated. It is shown that when gasliquid mass flow ratio is constant, the spray angle and velocity of droplet decreases and SMD increases gradually with the increase of orifice width. Therefore, in order to obtain much smaller liquid droplet, orifice width should not be too wide. When the orifice width is constant, along with the increase of gasliquid mass flow ratio, SMD decreases firstly and increases later when reaching the minimum. And SMD minimum value is 39.5 μm when the orifice width is 0.6 mm.

Abstract:The releasing pattern of Al3+ in different horizons in four types of typical soils, which samples were collected from the Three Gorges Reservoir Region, is studied by simulated acid rain leaching of soil columns equipment indoor. The results indicate that the buffering capacity of the tested soils against acid rain is weakened after a long time of leaching, and acid rain of a lower pH presents a stronger impact on the acidification of the soil. The leaching amount of Al3+ in four types of typical soils increases with the decline of acid rain pH value. The leaching quantities are low while the pH value is equal or greater than 3.50 levels, but increase remarkably while the pH is 2.50. Meantime, leaching of simulated acid rain changes the concentration of exchangeable Al3+ in soil (except for redbrown purplish soil). These changes are more remarkable in soils with the pH decrease of simulated acid rain.

Abstract:Parametric study with orthogonal experiment is carried out for digestion of municipal sewage sludge with H2O2 and H2SO4. For TN, the adding time of H2O2 is significant at 0.1 level, whilst the dosages of H2O2 and H2SO4 are less significant. The better digestion scheme is that the number of adding time of H2O2 is three and the dosages of H2O2 and H2SO4 are 0.25 mL and 1 mL, respectively. And for TP, the adding time of H2O2 is significant at 0.01 level, and the dosage of H2O2 is significant at 0.05 level. However, the dosage of H2SO4 is less significant. Thus, the better digestion scheme is that the adding time of H2O2is three and the dosages of H2O2 and H2SO4 are 0.25 and 5mL, respectively. Combining the two schemes, the optimal scheme of sludge digestion is three times for H2O2 adding and 0.25 and 5mL for the dosages of H2O2 and H2SO4, respectively. With the test, the recovery rate of TN is between 98.53% and 101.80%, while the recovery rate of TP is between 97.07% and 101.67%.

Abstract:Considering the uncertainty and complexity of production planning and scheduling in steelmaking and continuous casting, an optimal simulation model is built. Based on the analysis of the logistics in steelmaking process, the casting plan is regarded as the global goal, and the procedural information is taken into account, as well as the local evolution rule that abstracted from scheduling rule. To simulate transferring of materials in the process, the state of operation sites are updated as a result of the global goals, process information and local rule. The goaldirected simulation is carried out based on the selforganization evolution mechanism. Finally, an optimal integrated production plan is made by a continuous simulation evolution. A simulation case for eight hours production plan shows that the model is valid and efficient.
