Purpose: We aim to provide a systematic methodology for the optimal design of MRD for improved damping capacity and dynamical adjustability in performing its damping function. Methods: A modified Bingham model is employed to model and simulate the MRD considering the MR fluid’s compressibility. The parameters that describe the structure of MRD and the property of the fluid are systematically examined for their contributions to the damping capacity and dynamically adjustability. A response surface method is employed to optimize the damping force and dynamically adjustable coefficient for a more practical setting related to the parameters. Results: The simulation system effectively shows the hysteretic characteristics of MRDs and shows our common sense understanding that the damping gap width and yoke diameter have significant effects on the damping characteristics of MRD. By taking a typical MRD device setup, optimal design shows an increase of the damping force by 33% and an increase of the dynamically adjustable coefficient by 17%. It is also shown that the methodology is applicable to other types of MDR devices. Conclusion: The compressibility of MR fluid is one of the main reasons for the hysteretic characteristics of MRD. The proposed simulation and optimization methods can effectively improve the MRD’s damping performance in the design stage.

A general view on the problem of designing atypical battery-free, autonomous semi-passive RFID transponders-sensors (autonomous sensors with RFID interfaces) is presented in this review. Although RFID devices can be created in any of the electronic technologies, the design stage must be repeated each time when the manufacturing processes are changed, and their specific conditions have to be taken into consideration when modeling new solutions. Aspects related to the factors affecting the synthesis of semi-passive RFID transponder components on the basis of which the idea of the autonomous RFID sensor was developed are reflected in the paper. Besides their general characteristics, the operation conditions of modern RFID systems and achievements in autonomous RFID sensor technology are revealed in subsequent sections—they include such issues as technological aspects of the synthesis process, designing antennas for RFID transponders, determining RFID chip and antenna parameters, creating the interrogation zone IZ, etc. It should be pointed that the universal construction of an autonomous RFID sensor, which could be use in any application of the automatic object identification system, cannot be developed according to the current state of the art. Moreover, a trial and error method is the most commonly used in the today’s process of designing new solutions, and the basic parameters are estimated on the basis of the tests and the research team experience. Therefore, it is necessary to look for new inventions and methods in order to improve implementations of RFID systems.

Abstract The Design Axioms proposed by N. P. Suh consist of Independence Axiom and Information Axiom. The Independence Axiom assists a designer in generating good design alternatives by considering the relations between the functions and the physical product using a hierarchical mapping procedure. The Information Axiom, which is related to the probability of achieving the given functional requirements, can be used as a criterion for the selection of the best solution among the proposed alternatives in the conceptual or preliminary design stage. In the early stages of marine design, especially ship design, there exists a lot of uncertainty because of the size and complexity of a marine vehicle. The uncertainty often leads to a probabilistic approach rather than a deterministic approach. The ship designs are mostly routine design to change an existing design case a little. In this paper, the availability of the Design Axioms in this marine design field will be investigated through three examples. In the conceptual design of a thruster, the Independence Axiom will be proven to be useful in examining the independence of functional requirements at each level of the decomposition process. In main engine selection example, the Information Axiom will be used for selecting the best solution among the given alternatives by estimating their respective information contents under the uncertain and ambiguous condition. In the structural design, some difficulties arise in maintaining the independence of functional requirements in general because the number of design parameters is greater than that of functional requirements. Therefore, there is much trouble in generalizing the application of the Design Axioms for the structural design, especially for the preliminary design where the principal design parameters of a design object have to be determined after its shape fixed. This paper will try a generalized approach to the similarity-based design where it is important to select which parameters should be changed and in what order they should be changed. How to make use of the Design Axioms will be showed in a barge design example. However, a lot of research is needed for the generalized application of the Design Axioms for the structural design.

As spindle speeds increase, the variations caused by high-speed effects become more significant. Therefore, in the initial design stage, it is necessary for machine tool design engineers to construct a robust high-speed machine tool that possesses high first-mode natural frequencies (FMNFs) and is insensitive to high operating speeds. In this article, Taguchi method is used to identify the optimal values of design variables (DVs) for a robust high-speed spindle system with respect to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of system FMNF. The L18 orthogonal array covers seven main DVs at three levels each, one main DV at two levels, and the noise factor spindle speeds at six levels. The results show that the new optimal design has improved the SNR of the FMNF by 2.06 dB from the original design; this implies that the quality loss has been reduced to 62 per cent of its original value. The optimal design has been verified by a confirmation numerical experiment.

The evaluation of the blading clearance at the design stage is important for heavy duty gas turbine efficiency. The minimum clearance value at base load is limited by the pinch point clearance during startup and/or shutdown. Therefore, transient analysis is necessary for different operating conditions. 3D transient analysis of a whole engine is labor-intensive; however 2D axisymmetric analysis does not allow consideration of different 3D effects (e.g. twisting, bending, ovality, rotor alignment). In order to overcome these cost and time limitations, the combination of 2D, axisymmetric, whole-engine model results and the scaled deflections caused by different 3D effects is used for the axial and radial clearance engineering assessment during engine operation. The basic rotor and stator closures are taken from the transient analysis using a 2D finite element (FE) model composed of axisymmetric solid and plane stress elements. To take into account 3D effects of airfoil twisting and bending, the 3D FE displacements of the blade are included in the clearance evaluation process. The relative displacements of airfoil tip and reference point at the blade or vane hub are taken from 3D steady-state FE analyses. Then the steady-state displacements of the airfoils are scaled for transient conditions using the proposed technique. Different 3D rotor / stator effects (cold-build clearances and their tolerances, rotor position with respect to stator after assembly, casing bending, deformations of compressor and turbine vane carrier inducing of casing ovalization, exhaust gas housing movements, movements of the rotor in bearings and CVC and TVC support, etc.) are also included as a contributor to the clearances. The results of the calculations are analyzed and compared with good agreements to the clearances measured in engine testing under real operation conditions. The proposed methodology allows assessing the operating clearances between the stator and rotor during the design phase. Optimization of the running clearance is one key measure to upgrade and improve the engine performance during operating experience.

Economizer Selection Method with Reference to its Reliability at Preliminary Design Stage of Seagoing Vessels The economizers are used for production of steam heating on en route ships. The economizers are producing steam in a heat exchange process from the ship's main engine exhaust gas. Products of the incomplete combustion of the heavy fuel oil remaining in engines, passing the boiler, collect on the heat exchange surface of the economizer. When the incorrect assumptions are made for the boiler operation conditions, the boiler steam capacity drops and fire and burning of the incomplete combustion products can occur in the economizer. To minimize combustion product quantity that collects on the boiler surface, the allowable exhaust gas pressure drop in the boiler should be taken into consideration, as well as the results from recommended exhaust gas flow velocity that is determined by main engine service load determined in the preliminary design phase of the ship. The remaining operating conditions are made in such a way to obtain high steam capacity of the boiler. It is essential at the design stage to take into consideration the future operating parameters of the combustion-steam-water installation, since these parameters depend on the choice of boiler and determined at the design stage production of steam. On the basis of operation parameters of contemporary container ships, an attempt was made to select economizer capacity in the preliminary design stage taking into consideration operation conditions of the propulsion system-steam installations unit in aspect of economizer reliability.

HyDRAS (Hyper-redundant Discrete Robotic Articulated Serpentine) is a novel serpentine robot comprising a serial chain of actuated universal joints for climbing structures such as poles or scaffoldings. To do so, it wraps its body around the structure in a helical shape, and rotates its body along its own central body axis to roll up the structure. This paper presents a method and considerations for selecting the optimal design parameters for the development of HyDRAS. The geometry equations derived in this paper will allow for a parametric approach that will aid in the selection of the appropriate design parameters such as module length, module diameter, helical pitch, and allowable range of motion for the given task of climbing pole like structures. Several examples are used to illustrate the method. The results obtained will be used in the analysis of the mechanical advantage of the mechanism and future research on the motion planning of HyDRAS.
