Pressure reducing valve (PRV) is one of the critical components in high pressure pneumatic systems. Nowadays, manually operated PRVs have been widely used, but there is still no universal electronic PRV. Thus, we proposed a novel high pressure electronic pneumatic pressure reducing valve (EPPRV) whose inlet pressure (pi) is up to 31.5 MPa. The EPPRV mainly consists of a poppet structured pilot valve and a piston structured main valve. A proportional electromagnet was used as the command element, and a pressure closed loop, rather than a force closed loop controller, was designed. First, the mechanical design and functionality of the EPPRV are carefully analyzed. Then, a mathematical model is built up, and the working characteristics of pressure, flow rate, and frequency response are simulated. Finally, the test bench is introduced, and detailed experiments are carried out. Simulated and experimental results are highly consistent within output pressure (po) ranging from 8 MPa to 25 MPa and load flow rate (qld) ranging from 60 g/s to 650 g/s, which verifies the feasibility of the novel structure and the validity of the mathematic model.

The results of unique experimental studies of the strength and service life of a metal-composite high-pressure tank are presented. The goal of the study is to analyze the fracture mechanisms and evaluate the strength characteristics of the structure. The methodology included tests of full-scale samples of the tank for durability under short-term static, long-term static and cyclic loading with internal pneumatic pressure. Generalized test results and data of visual measurements, instrumental and acoustic-emission control of deformation processes, accumulation of damages and destruction of full-scale tank samples are presented. Analysis of the strength and stiffness of the structure exposed to internal pneumatic pressure is presented. The types of limiting states of the tanks have been established experimentally. Change in the stress-strain state of the tank under cyclic and prolonged static loading is considered. Specific features of the mechanisms of destruction of a metal-composite tank are determined taking into account the role of strain of the metal liner. The calculated and experimental estimates of the energy potential of destruction and the size of the area affected upon destruction of the tank are presented. Analysis of test results showed that the tank has high strength and resource characteristics that meet the requirements of the design documentation. The results of the experiments are in good agreement with the results of numerical calculations and analysis of the stress-strain state and mechanisms of destruction of the metal-composite tank.

AbstractThe classical concept of collisional orogens suggests that mountain belts form as a crustal wedge between the downgoing and overriding plates. However, this orogenic style is not compatible with the presence of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks far from the plate interface in the Bohemian Massif of Central Europe. Here we use a comparison between geological observations and thermo-mechanical numerical models to explain their formation. We suggest that continental crust was first deeply subducted, then flowed laterally underneath the lithosphere and eventually rose in the form of large partially molten trans-lithospheric diapirs. We further show that trans-lithospheric diapirism produces a specific rock association of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks and ultra-potassic magmas that alternates with the less metamorphosed rocks of the upper plate. Similar rock associations have been described in other convergent zones, both modern and ancient. We speculate that trans-lithospheric diapirism could be a common process.
