In this paper, a new type of a clutch by the name of the variable torque clutch with skewed rollers is first introduced and second investigated both theoretically and experimentally. It is comprised of an inner and an outer race that are each in spatial line contact with the crossed axis cylindrical rollers. Torque transmission is delivered by a slipping induced between the rollers and the races due to skewing the rollers. The equations of the race surfaces are derived and the geometrical properties are analyzed. Based on the kinematic analysis, a roller-wedge model is proposed for this clutch in order to visualize the motion at the tangency of the rollers and the races. By assuming the linear distribution of the contact force along the spatial contact line, the transmitted torque capacity and kinematic characteristics can be evaluated properly from the solution of a set of nonlinear equilibrium equations. Several prototypes of this clutch are manufactured and measured to show the validity of this design idea and the theoretical results. The computational results are found to coincide with the experimental data. In addition, the influences of the design parameters on the fundamental characteristics are discussed in detail.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the analysis of composite rings subjected to external fluid pressure loading. Nonlinear equilibrium equations, linear stability equations, and critical fluid-pressure loads are found for thin multi-layered shear deformable rings. The extensions presented here can be shown to be generalizations of the theory given in [1]. The theory shows that introduction of multiple layers of material introduces coupling between bending and extension. The results are used to show that shear deformation is important when R h < 10 , as well as when the ratio of through thickness shear modulus to Young’s modulus becomes small. The latter has consequences when composite materials are used for the ring layers. The results are also used to show that for coupling between bending and extension the critical fluid-pressure will increase or decrease depending on the stacking sequence. For the example presented in this paper, the predicted critical fluid-pressure loading was higher for the stiffer material located on the inside of a two-layer ring. In all cases, the theoretical results are compared to a finite element method analysis.

Abstract In this paper, a new variable torque clutch with skewed rollers, in which the cylinder rollers and the inner and outer races are assembled like a conical roller bearing except that each roller axis inclines with an equal angle to the races axis, was introduced and then investigated theoretically and experimentally. The geometry of the race surface was analyzed and the parametric equations of contact line etc. were derived. A roller-wedge model, based on the motion relationship between the skewed rollers and the two races, was proposed for this clutch. From the static equilibrium condition of the roller, the transmitted torque capacity and kinematics characteristics are evaluated properly. Several prototypes of this clutch were manufactured and measured to show the validity of this design idea and the theoretical results. The computation results were found to in good agreement with the experimental data. In addition, the influences of design parameters on the fundamental characteristics of the variable torque clutch are discussed in detail.

Theoretical Results

The nonlinear characteristic of vibration control systems has attracted increasing attention for its advantage in improving structural performance. In this paper, a new type of viscoelastic damping limb-like-structure (VE-LLS) device is proposed by combing the viscoelastic (VE) damper and limb-like-structure (LLS) together, which possesses coupling nonlinearity characteristic caused by geometric and material factors, as well as a remarkable advantage in improving the control performance. First, to explore the nonlinear geometrical effects on the static stiffness of the VE-LLS device, a formula is derived from static stiffness, and the results are discussed. Second, dynamic analysis is performed of the proposed device considering the coupling geometrical and material nonlinearities in frequency domain, with the real-time effect of frequency and temperature on the mechanical properties of the viscoelastic damper considered in solving the nonlinear vibration equation. The harmonic balance method (HBM) is used to solve the nonlinear dynamic equation. Then, the displacement transmissibility of the VE-LLS device is calculated and assessed. The results indicate that the proposed device possesses excellent vibration isolation performance, and the geometric parameters of the viscoelastic damper have significant nonlinear effect on the performance. Finally, an experiment is carried out of the VE-LLS device to verify the accuracy of the static stiffness analysis. The results show that the theoretical results agree well the experimental ones, and that the theoretical results have high accuracy and reliability.

New Formulation

Critical and postcritical states of pseudo-conservative discrete structural systems are studied by means of a new formulation leading to a classification of critical states and to an approximate form of the postcritical equilibrium path. The nonlinear equilibrium equations are derived from the total potential energy function of a classical system, but with the addition of at least one control parameter. The follower force effect is thus included by nonlinear constraints to the equilibrium equation. The nonlinear equations are solved by perturbation techniques. Finally the theory is applied to investigate the instability of some simple mechanical models.

Since the late 1930s, gas turbine has begun to develop rapidly. To improve the economic and safety of gas turbine, new types were generated frequently by Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM). In this paper, a hybrid GRA-SVM prediction model is established to predict the main design parameters of new type gas turbines, based on the combination of Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The parameters are classified into two types, system performance parameters reflecting market demands and technology development, and component performance parameters reflecting technology development and coupling connections. The regularity based on GRA determines the prediction order, then new type gas turbine parameters can be predicted with known system parameters. The model is verified by the application to SGT600. In this way, the evolution rule can be obtained with the development of gas turbine technology, and the improvement potential of several components can be predicted which will provide supports for overall performance design.

Optimum Working

A potato digger equipped with a four­bladed beater operating in connection with rotary separating surface has low material and energy consumption, higher separating efficiency, as well as lower degree of tuber damaging. The potato digger design should include a four­bladed intake­and­feed beater to prevent potato heap transportation faults in front of the first section. (Research purpose) Increasing the technological and economic efficiency of a potato digging­and­ separating unit through the determination of the optimum values of the design parameters and operating process of the intake­and­feed beater. (Materials and methods) the authors have made an overview of general principles of ensuring the stability of the potato heap movement provided by the four­bladed intake­and­feed beater. The dependency of the minimum beater speed on the operating speed of the potato digger has been found to exclude a probability of its overloading. The methodology of calculating the potato heap velocity and the cutoff angle between the material and the beater blades has been worked out by analyzing potato heap lifting to the upper points of the working units of the rotary separator’s first section. Operating speed of the beater has been determined through the differential equation for the speed of a potato heap moving along the blade surface. (Results and discussion) Preliminary potato heap speed and cutoff angle have been found through the equation of dynamics describing the projectile motion of an object thrown at an angle. The operating values of the angles are dependent on the potato digger working speed and can be selected from the triangle of speeds. The authors have determined the dependence of the optimal beater speed on the working speed of a potato digger. Its value should exceed the minimum speed of the beater. (Conclusions) Theoretical results allow proposing the best design features and optimum working process parameters of a four­bladed beater receiving a potato heap, transporting it and lifting on the rotary separating surface.

Generalized Beam Theory

A geometrically nonlinear Generalized Beam Theory (GBT) is formulated and its application leads to a system of equilibrium equations which are valid in the large deformation range but still retain and take advantage of the unique GBT mode decomposition feature. The proposed GBT formulation, for the elastic post-buckling analysis of isotropic thin-walled members, is able to handle various types of loading and arbitrary initial geometrical imperfections and, in particular, it can be used to perform "exact" or "approximate" (i.e., including only a few deformation modes) analyses. Concerning the solution of the system of GBT nonlinear equilibrium equations, the finite element method (FEM) constitutes the most efficient and versatile numerical technique and, thus, a beam FE is specifically developed for this purpose. The FEM implementation of the GBT post-buckling formulation is reported in some detail and then employed to obtain numerical results, which validate and illustrate the application and capabilities of the theory.

The multi-facet drill shows good performance during materials are difficultly machined. However, for a new type of the drilling point, the grinding has been the main problem that restricts its application. To properly grinding the drill point confirms the design parameters, the relationship between design parameters and grinding parameters must be resolved. The mathematical model is the key to solve this problem. In this paper, according to the design of the high manganese steel drilling tool, a mathematical model has been established by the plane grinding method to solve grinding parameters, and to achieve improved mechanical grinding of drill point.

Usability Evaluation Methods

The issue of e-learning quality remains prominent on end users’ (the learners’) agenda. It is no surprise that many non-motivated adult learners abandon prematurely their e-learning experiences. This is attributed in a great extent to the poor design and usability of e-learning applications. This paper proposes a usability framework that addresses the user as a learner and extends the current e-learning usability practice by focusing on the affective dimension of learning, a frequently neglected issue in e-learning developments. Motivation to learn, a dominant affective factor related with learning effectiveness, has been similarly neglected. Usability and instructional design constructs as well as Keller’s ARCS Model are being employed within the framework proposed in this work upon which new usability evaluation methods can be based. This framework integrates web usability and instructional design parameters and proposes motivation to learn as a new type of usability dimension in designing and evaluating e-learning applications.
