A new design methodology for the vibration control of rotor systems with a magnetic bearing is developed in this paper. The methodology combines the experimental design method in quality control engineering and the conventional PD control technique such that their advantages in implementation feasibility and performance-robustness can be integrated together. A quality loss index defined by the summation of the infinity norm of unbalanced vibration is used to characterize the system dynamics. By using the location of the magnetic bearing and PD feedback gains as design parameters, the controller can be determined by a small number of matrix experiments to achieve the best system performance. In addition, it is robust to the vibration modes within a desired speed range. A rotor system consisting of 4 rigid disks, 3 isotropic bearings, and 1 magnetic bearing is applied to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the experiment-aided controller design.

This paper presents a controller design methodology for vibration suppression of rotor systems in noncollocated sensor/actuator configuration. The methodology combines the experimental design method of quality engineering and the active damping control technique such that their advantages in implementation feasibility and performance-robustness can be integrated together. By using the locations of sensor/actuator and the feedback gains as design parameters, the controller design is shown to achieve a near optimal performance within the two-sigma confidence among all possible parameter combinations. Compared with LQ-based designs, the controller order is smaller and it is applicable to systems in an operation speed range. In addition, neither preselected sensor/actuator location(s) nor state measurement/ estimation is needed.

Modular design, Axiomatic design (AD) and Theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) have been increasingly popularized in concept design of modern mechanical product. Each method has their own advantages and drawbacks. The benefit of modular design is reducing the product design period, and AD has the capability of problem analysis, while TRIZ’s expertise is innovative idea generation. According to the complementarity of these three approaches, an innovative and systematic methodology is proposed to design big complex mechanical system. Firstly, the module partition is executed based on scenario decomposition. Then, the behavior attributes of modules are listed to find the design contradiction, including motion form, spatial constraints, and performance requirements. TRIZ tools are employed to deal with the contradictions between behavior attributes. The decomposition and mapping of functional requirements and design parameters are carried out to construct the structural hierarchy of each module. Then, modules are integrated considering the connections between each other. Finally, the operation steps in application scenario are designed in temporal and spatial dimensions. Design of cutter changing robot for shield tunneling machine is taken as an example to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Bearing Design

During the normal operation of rotor/magnetic bearing systems, contacts with auxiliary bearings or bushes are avoided. However, auxiliary bearings are required under abnormal conditions and in malfunctions situations to prevent contact between the rotor and stator laminations. Studies in the open literature deal largely with rotor drop and the requirements of auxiliary bearing design parameters for safe run-down. Rotor drop occurs when the rotor is de-levitated and no further means of magnetic bearing control is available. This paper considers the case when full control is still available and rotor/auxiliary bearing contact has been induced by an abnormal operating condition or temporary fault. It is demonstrated that events leading to contact from a linearly stable rotor orbit can drive the rotor into a non-linear vibratory motion involving persistent contacts. Furthermore, the phase of the measured vibration response may be changed to such an extent that synchronous controllers designed to minimize rotor vibration amplitudes will worsen the rotor response, resulting in higher contact forces. A modified controller design is proposed and demonstrated to be capable of returning a rotor from a contacting to a non-contacting state.

With the mechanics model, the analytic formula of the deformation for the trapezium throttle slice was established. By the vehicle parameters and valve opening velocity, the formula of valve opening pressure was built. Based on this, through the relation of pressure with deformation and flux at valve opening, the design formula of throttle slice thickness and throttle-hole area were established, the influencing factors to the design parameters were analyzed. A practical example of design of hydro-pneumatic spring was given, and the performance test was conducted. The analysis and test results show that the design method is effective and the formulas for throttle slice thickness and throttle-hole area are accurate enough, and have important meaning for the hydro-pneumatic spring design.

Coaxial Helicopter

The purpose of this paper is to study the conceptual design and optimization of a compound coaxial helicopter. At the conceptual design phase, the compound coaxial helicopter design work was based on the conventional helicopter and fix-wing aircraft design method. The intersection of these aspects makes the design work more complex, thus, a program for the sizing and performance optimization was developed for the aircraft. The program included the total weight design, aerodynamic analysis, flight dynamics analysis, performance calculation and particle swarm optimization analysis. Under the restricted condition of the flight performance requirements, optimize the design parameters which make the weight efficiency factor decrease. Therefore, the study of optimum design process was warranted.

Robust Design Method

An efficient multilayer machine learning-assisted optimization (ML-MLAO)-based robust design method is proposed for antenna and array applications. Machine learning methods are introduced into multiple layers of the robust design process, including worst-case analysis (WCA), maximum input tolerance hypervolume (MITH) searching, and robust optimization, considerably accelerating the whole robust design process. First, based on a surrogate model mapping between the design parameters and performance, WCA is performed using a genetic algorithm to ensure reliability. MITH searching is then carried out using a double-layer MLAO (DL-MLAO) framework to find the MITH of the given design point. Next, based on the training set obtained using DL-MLAO, correlations between the design parameters and the MITH are learned. The robust design is carried out using surrogate models for both the performance and the MITH, and these models are updated online following the ML-MLAO scheme. Furthermore, two examples, including an array synthesis problem and an antenna design problem, are used to verify the proposed ML-MLAO method. Finally, the numerical results and computation time are discussed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Unstable Plant

This study examines the course-keeping control of directionally unstable large oil tankers involving a pole in the right half plane. Treated as an unstable plant in control engineering, tankers are theoretically and experimentally investigated during the controller design process. First, the unstable plant is mirror-mapped to its corresponding stable minimum phase plant using the mirror-mapping technique, which enables an easy controller design. Then, a linear proportional-differential and a first-order filter controller is designed based on the closed-loop gain shaping algorithm, which requires only one controller parameter to be properly selected based on the system’s characteristics. Numerical simulation results confirmed that the designed controller can successfully stabilise an unstable plant subjected to external wind and wave disturbances. The controller designed with the proposed method is suitable for course-keeping control of directionally unstable large tankers. The controller design method is simple with an uncomplicated structure that can easily be implemented in engineering endeavours. Moreover, the rudder motion is small and soft.
