Dc Servomotor

To verify and analyze the dynamics model of servomotor and improve the efficiency of modeling and analysis, we research system of modeling and simulation on kollmorgen AKM41H servomotor in SimScape. According to the driving principle and mathematical model of DC servomotor, Simulink combined with SimScape and Solidworks part will conduct Control system simulation and analysis. By analyzing the frequency curve, we know that dynamics model of Kollmorgen servomotor is accurate. Semi-physical simulation based on SimScape, the angle of motor shaft can be fast and accurate to get the prespecified value. Parameters of feedback control system are selected reasonably, adjust the motor shaft’s speed so that it reduces to zero band. Research shows that SimScape combined with Solidworks take semi-physical simulation experiment. It can support simulation that is different complex engineering project. Compared with the traditional simulation model is more practical and analysis and modeling is more efficiency.

Animal Agency

AbstractThis paper examines the agency of the dogs used to develop the Soviet manned space flight programme by considering what the dogs did as experimental subjects, as dog technologies, and as individual dogs in the context of the historically conditioned practices of Soviet science. Looking at how Soviet space researchers refined Pavlovian behaviourism and integrated it into a complex engineering project helps clarify the conditions under which the dogs worked and the assumptions that guided the human researchers. The paper uses theoretical perspectives that contextualize animal agency in terms of relationships and then looks at those relationships from an ethological perspective. This provides a sense of what the dogs did that distinguishes between how humans understand dogs and what we know about dogs’ cognitive and social capacities. The paper proposes a model of animal agency that looks seriously at the dogs’ relationships with human researchers and suggests that the dogs’ significance as historical subjects depends as much on what they did as dogs as it does on how their contributions to the space race were perceived.

And Control

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is a method of planning work, comparing status with schedule, and evaluating progress at all levels of management in order to better control a major, complex, engineering project. PERT/COST adds control of manpower and funds. Three time estimates—optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic—are combined to obtain an expected time for completing each activity. The PERT network shows interdependencies of activities. An important result of the PERT calculations is the determination of the critical and slack paths of the network.

The complex engineering project has properties of long time lasting, enormous data amount and wide range of interoperation. To support effectively data management in both different product lifecycle phases and across different systems through web PDM system, ontology based product information model was developed. The model includes concept part for common manage and domain part for specific industries. Concepts and relations were built and introduced. Using ontology improved the machine interoperability. The developed model is validated by the application to the practical web PDM system of enterprise project.
