Bearing Behavior

It is important to test the attitude control systems on satellites before they are launched in space. Traditionally this has been done by dropping the satellite, and firing the thrusters before the satellite makes a soft landing in a net. This method only allows a few seconds of testing and does not lend itself to the measurement of pointing accuracy. A better method is to mount the satellite on a spherical air bearing. In this paper behavior of a semi spherical air bearing is studied and analyzed in various conditions. These bearings are used in different applications such as simulation of approximately frictionless condition which is the satellite’s situation in space. In this analysis FLUENT 6.3.26 is used to simulate the air bearing’s behavior. Simulation process is divided into 5 sections. These sections are accordingly 2dimensional with static boundary condition, 3dimensional and static, 2dimensional and dynamic and 3dimensional and dynamic boundary conditions. At last bearing’s function was optimized by changing some adjustable parameters which are important in controlling the bearings behavior such as air entering nozzles diameter and their number and location. Importance of this study is to simulate the behavior of the bearing in dynamic boundary condition using dynamic mesh. Eventually results of the simulation are compared to the actual test results and bearing behavior is analyzed. Finally best arrangement for achieving maximum normal load is studied.

Three Degree Of Freedom

The Android-based networked control system laboratory (NCSLab) is a remote control laboratory that adopts an extensible architecture, mainly including Android mobile devices, MATLAB servers, controllers and test rigs. In order to conduct various simulations and experiments more effectively in NCSLab, the first key issue that needs to be solved is to enable users to design their own control algorithms or functional blocks on the Android client, rather than just using the basic block libraries provided by the system. So, this paper proposes and implements a scheme for Android-based compilation of C-MEX S-functions. With this new feature, users can design personalized algorithm according to their requirements in the form of S-functions, which can be called and executed after being compiled by MATLAB server. Finally, through the experiment validation of the three-degree-of-freedom air bearing spacecraft platform, it is proved that the method of Android-based C-MEX S-functions is reliable and efficient, and this scheme well enhances the functionality and mobility of Android-based NCSLab.

Contact Slider

In this study, the authors numerically analyzed the bouncing vibrations of a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) model of a tripad contact slider with air bearing pads over a harmonic wavy disk surface. The general features of bouncing vibrations were elucidated in regard to the modal characteristics of a 2-DOF vibration system and design parameters such as contact stiffness, contact damping, air hearing stiffness, the rear to front air bearing stiffness ratio, static contact force and the coefficient of friction. The design of a contact slider was discussed in terms of tracking ability and wear durability. In addition, two sample designs of a perfect contact slider with sufficient wear durability were also presented.
