Lead screw mechanisms are used to convert rotary to linear motion. The velocity-dependent coefficient of friction at the contact between lead screw and nut threads can lead to self-excited vibrations, which may result in excessive noise generated by the system. In this paper, based on a practical example of a powered automotive seat adjuster, the nonlinear dynamics of lead screw systems is studied. A test setup is developed to perform experiments on the horizontal motion drive. The experimental results are used in a novel two-step identification approach to estimate friction, damping, and stiffness parameters of the system. The identified parameters together with other known system parameters are used in the numerical simulations. The accuracy of the mathematical model is validated by comparing numerical simulation results with actual measurements in cases where limit cycles are developed. Using simulation results for a range of lead screw angular velocities and axial forces, regions of stability were found. Also, the effects of damping and stiffness parameters on the steady-state amplitude of vibration were investigated.

The Department of Railwayand Road Transport, lift and care system of Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University, an energy-saving cooling system for diesel locomotives using phase transitions of the coolant has been developed. The proposed cooling system allows to maintain constant optimal temperatures of cooling objects at ambient temperatures ± 40 ºC and in any mode of operation of the diesel engine. For thermal calculation of the radiator section operating in the mode of the steam condenser, the mathematical model of process of heat transfer from steam to walls of a flat tube at condensation is developed that considers geometrical features of section of a tube. The adequacy of this mathematical model is verified by comparing the simulation results with the obtained experimental data. During the tests, the outlet water temperature, inlet and outlet air temperature, and air pressure in front of and behind the radiator were measured. Having the values of wall temperature, steam temperature and condensate, knowing the value of steam consumption and the experimental heat transfer coefficient, it becomes possible to verify the adequacy of the mathematical model by comparing the simulation results with the obtained experimental data. Schemes of bench equipment, test methods, experimental planning and basic calculation dependences required for testing serial radiator sections of a locomotive in the standard mode of operation and in the mode of steam condensers are presented.

The article deals with the development of a physical model of a car equipped with measuring, recording and remote control equipment for experimental study of car properties. A detailed description of the design of the physical model and of the electronic modules used is given, links to application libraries and the code of the first part of the program for remote control of the model are given. Atmega microcontroller on the Arduino Uno platform was used to manage the model and register the parameters. When moving the car on the memory card saved such parameters as speed, voltage on the motor, current on the motor, the angle of the steered wheel, acceleration along three coordinate axes are recorded. Use of more powerful microcontrollers will allow to expand the list of the registered parameters of movement of the car. It is possible to measure the forces acting on the elements of the car and other parameters. In the future, it is planned to develop a mathematical model of motion of the car and check its adequacy in conducting experimental studies on maneuverability on the physical model. In addition, it is possible to conduct studies of stability and consumption of electrical energy. The physical model allows to quickly change geometric dimensions and mass parameters. In the study of highway trains, this approach will allow to investigate the various layout schemes of highway trains in the short term. It is possible to make two-axle road trains and saddle towed trains, three-way hitched trains of different layout. The results obtained will allow us to improve not only the mathematical model, but also the experimental physical model, and move on to further study the properties of hybrid road trains with an active trailer link. This approach allows to reduce material and time costs when researching the properties of cars and road trains. Keywords: car, physical model, experiment, road trains, sensor, remote control, maneuverability, stability.

In order to accurately and conveniently identify the shearer running status, a novel approach based on the integration of rough sets (RS) and improved wavelet neural network (WNN) was proposed. The decision table of RS was discretized through genetic algorithm and the attribution reduction was realized by MIBARK algorithm to simply the samples of WNN. Furthermore, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm was proposed to optimize the parameters of WNN and the flowchart of proposed approach was designed. Then, a simulation example was provided and some comparisons with other methods were carried out. The simulation results indicated that the proposed approach was feasible and outperforming others. Finally, an industrial application example of mining automation production was demonstrated to verify the effect of proposed system.

The high precision balls are requested in national defense, astronautics and high-tech commercial domain urgently. Conventional precision machining methods are sensitive to uniformity of abrasives and machining environment. After precision machining, there are easily to produce thick damaged layer on the ball surface because of machining stress and chemical conversion. On the basis of the floating polishing mechanism, a new scatheless ultra-precision polishing method of ball surface can solve the problems of abrasives uniformity effectively and damaged layer. In order to ensure that the new polishing method polishes ball surface equally, the appropriate angular velocities of the ball should be selected. This paper sets up the mathematical model about the motion of ball. By analyzing and simulating the relationship of the angular velocities, the best processing parameters are acquired.

Various uncertain factors affect the movement of the welding robot, thus welding gun tend to deviate from the theory of welding position which reduces the welding accuracy, of which the revolute pair clearance have an greater effect on the movement of the welding robot. In order to study the influence of revolute pair clearance to the end pose accuracy of welding robot, the mathematical model of revolute pair clearance was established, and the software SolidWorks was used for establishing the welding robot model, making simulations of the mechanical arm with joint clearance and no joint clearance. At last, the movement characteristic of the hinge shaft is attained. The simulation results showed that the shaft velocity and displacement of mechanical arm with joint clearance has a certain degree of fluctuation, which affecting the end pose accuracy of welding robot , and reducing the movement stability and the welding accuracy of welding robot.

Abstract In this paper, a robust linear steering and differential braking controller is designed for the automated guidance of tractor-semitrailer combination vehicles using the H∞ loop-shaping methodology. Only the articulation angle, the lateral errors at the front and rear axle of the tractor, and the angular velocities of the rear wheels of the trailer or the brake line pressure signals, are assumed to be available for the synthesis of control inputs. The controller is designed to ensure the robustness to model uncertainties due to variations in vehicle longitudinal speed, road adhesion coefficient and trailer cargo load. Closed-loop simulation results show the robustness of the proposed controller and the resulting smaller lateral error at the trailer end when compared to the controller using the steering input only. More damped transient responses of articulation angle when using the steering and braking control also improve the yaw stability of the trailer.

This paper presents small-scale low-speed maneuvering tests with an oceanographic research vessel and the comparison with mathematical model using the real time maneuvering simulator developed by the University of São Paulo (USP). The tests are intended to verify the behavior of the vessel and the mathematical model under transient and low speed tests. The small-scale tests were conducted in deep and shallow waters, with a depth-draft ratio equal to 1.28, in order to verify the simulator ability to represent the vessel maneuverability on both depth conditions. The hydrodynamic coefficients used in the simulator model were obtained by CFD calculations and wind tunnel model tests carried out for this vessel. Standard turning circle and accelerating turn maneuvers were used to compare the experimental and numerical results. A fair agreement was achieved for shallow and deep water. Some differences were observed mainly in the initial phase of the accelerating turn test.
