Control Arm (CA) of a suspension plays an important role in the automotive ride comfort and handling stability. In this paper, the topology optimization model including ball joints and bushing for topology optimization of an aluminium CA is established, where a ball joint is simplified as rigid elements and the elastic properties of a rubber bushing are estimated using Mooney-Rivlin constitutive law. A method for treating with multiple loads in topology optimization of CA is presented. Inertia relief theory is employed in the FEA model of the CA in order to simulate the large displacement motion characteristics of the CA. A CA is designed based on the topology optimization results, and the strength, natural frequency, and rigidity of the optimized CA are calculated. The calculated results show that the performances of the optimized CA with the proposed model meet the predetermined requirements.

This paper describes a fast computation method of the flow through multistage axial compressors of the industrial type. The flow is assumed to be axisymmetric between the blade rows which are represented by actuator disks. Blade row losses and turning are calculated by means of correlations. The equations of motion are linearized with respect to the log of static pressure, whose variation along the radius is usually of limited extent for the type of machines for which the method has been developed. In each computing plane (i.e. between the blade rows) two flows are combined: a basic flow with constant pressure satisfying the mass flow requirements and a perturbation flow fulfilling the radial equilibrium condition. The results of a few sample calculations are given. They show a satisfactory agreement with a classical duct flow method although the computing time is reduced by a factor five. The method has also been coupled with a surge line prediction calculation.

Multispeed gears are noncircular gears whose kinematics varies during a rotational period, alternating uniform and variable motions. Due to the limited information on multispeed gears design and performance, the paper presents i) the generation of multispeed gears, using the design hypothesis of the transmission ratio variation and ii) investigations on meshing conditions, as a qualitative information on gears contact. To generate multispeed gears, the gears transmission ratio are defined by hybrid multiple parameters functions with parabolic and trigonometric variations. Virtual models of the multispeed gears, produced by the Matlab-PHP-MySQL-AutoCAD interference, are further used for the gear meshing analysis, the theoretical static contact evolution and distribution along the teeth being investigated and compared for both kinematics. It was found that the trigonometric variation of the gears transmission ratio improves the gears meshing in gear concave zones, while the parabolic variation has benefits on tooth contact pattern in zones where the gears centrodes geometry is changed from circular to noncircular shapes.

This article take the Dongan 465Q non-supercharged engine as the research object, the simulation model is built by GT-POWER and the corresponding test bench is set up. The simulation error is less than 3%, which indicates that the parameters of this model is correct, and can be used for further study of the gasoline engine. The supercharger, Garrett GT12, is selected by the matching calculation. The non-supercharged 465Q engine is modified as a turbocharged engine. The test results show that the power and the fuel consumption of the turbocharged engine is improved obviously, whose power is increased by 48% and fuel consumption is reduced by 4%.

Thermodynamic design methods and performance calculation models for chemical reformers that can be used to recuperate exhaust heat and to improve combustion quality are investigated in this paper. The basic structure of the chemical reformer is defined as series-wound reforming units that consist of heat exchangers and cracking reactors. The CH4-steam reforming reaction is used in the chemical reformers and a universal model of this reaction is built based on the minimization of Gibbs free energy method. Comparative analyzes between the results of the calculation and a plasma-catalyzed CH4-steam reforming reaction experiment verify that this universal model is applicable and has high precision. Algorithms for simulation of series-wound reforming units are constructed and the complexity of the chemical reformers is studied. A design principle that shows the influence of structural complexity on the quantity of recovered heat and the composites of the reformed fuel can be followed for different application scenarios of chemical reformers.
