For MHT is an integrated system for different domains, namely fluids, structures, piezoelectrics and circuitry, a component library consisting of inlets, outlets, chambers and piezoelectric blocks is developed with Modelica. The governing equations of inlet and outlet channels, chamber and piezoelectric block are proposed and parameter models are created based on object-oriented method with Modelica. Then the model of MHT is established by connecting different components’ pins of equivalent type. Simulation results on Dymola show accordance with that on Simulink, which indicates that this method can achieve high efficiency and precision.

This paper is an overview of some of the main issues in photovoltaic based distributed generation (PVDG). A discussion of the harmonic distortion produced by PVDG units is presented. The maximum permissible penetration level of PVDG in distribution system is also considered. The general procedures of optimal planning for PVDG placement and sizing are also explained in this paper. The result of this review shows that there are different challenges for integrating PVDG in the power systems. One of these challenges is integrated system reliability whereas the amount of power produced by renewable energy source is consistent. Thus, the high penetration of PVDG into grid can decrease the reliability of the power system network. On the other hand, power quality is considered one of the challenges of PVDG whereas the high penetration of PVDGs can lead to more harmonic propagation into the power system network. In addition to that, voltage fluctuation of the integrated PVDG and reverse power flow are two important challenges to this technology. Finally, protection of power system with integrated PVDG is one of the most critical challenges to this technology as the current protection schemes are designed for unidirectional not bidirectional power flow pattern.

The important and well-established performance criteria for assessment of a gas turbine cogeneration plant (GTCP) were examined. It was found that expressions could be derived for these criteria in terms of two key parameters: work efficiency and boiler efficiency. Three characteristics charts were then constructed. These covered gas turbine analysis, boiler analysis and GTCP performance analysis respectively. It is then demonstrated how these charts may be used as an effective tool for both performance prediction and preliminary design analysis. Thermodynamic design of a GTCP as an integrated system is also investigated and discussed.

To study the influence of the structural parameters of the ammunition liner of small-caliber ammunition on the forming characteristics of the projectile, an integrated circumferential multiple explosively formed projectile (MEFP) warhead with an integrated shell and the liner was initially designed, and the wall thickness of the liner is variable. LS-DYNA finite-element software is used to simulate the integral circumferential MEFP of the preliminary design, based on the numerical simulation results, the influence of the thickness at the center of the liner, and the curvature radius of the liner on the shape and velocity of the formed projectile. The numerical simulation results show that when the thickness of the center of the liner is constant and the curvature radius increases gradually, the velocity of the formed projectile decreases and the length: Diameter ratio of formed projectile decreases gradually. When the curvature radius of the liner remains unchanged, the velocity of the formed projectile decreases with the increase of the thickness of the center of the liner, and the shape of the formed projectile does not change significantly. The results show that when the design of integrating the shell and the liner was adopted for the integral circumferential MEFP warhead, the shape of the formed projectile is greatly affected by the curvature radius of the liner (curvature radius of inner and outer walls of the liner), but less by the thickness of the center of the liner. The velocity of the formed projectile is affected by the curvature radius of the inner and outer walls of the liner and the thickness of the center of the liner. Moreover, the influence of the thickness of the center of the liner on the velocity of the formed projectile is greater than that of the curvature radius of the outer wall of the liner.

A unified collision avoidance system is proposed to improve the efficiency and safety of marine transport, namely maritime avoidance navigation, totally integrated system (MANTIS). The principle behind its operation is to remove the difficulties and uncertainties involved in marine navigation through a system structure that makes marine transport deterministic rather than uncertain. Fundamental to its operation is a strategic interactive expert system that can determine safe and efficient navigation routes for all vessels as part of journey planning and en route collision avoidance. An important requirement is to take account of non-navigable areas, collision regulations, ship characteristics, sea state and sensor accuracy during evaluation. An outline of the MANTIS infrastructure is given, followed by a description of the vessel management system (VMES). Simulation results exemplify the significance of the system for future exploitation.

This study attempted to design and develop an integrated system of a microforming apparatus with ultrasonic-vibration device. A closed-loop displacement and force control was implemented with servo motors. The apparatus has a load capacity up to 10,000N. The displacement error curve of the platform was measured with API 5DLS laser interferometer, and fed into the control program to compensate for motion errors. The positioning precision of the platform has been upgraded up to 5μm, with a load accuracy of 0.5N. Taking advantage of FEA and optimization technology, boosters and resonator with 35 kHz frequency were designed and fabricated. The simulation results and the experimental results match perfectly on the account of resonance frequencies and amplitudes. To the end, the integration of the ultrasonic-vibration device with microforming platform demonstrates a precision process for micro-parts.
