An effective way for the testing of a large number of systems is using single and multi-axis shaking tables. Among the possible applications, the civil engineering field stands out for the testing of structures, or part of them, both on a reduced and on a full scale. However, design a high performance controller for a servo-hydraulic shaking table is a difficult problem due to its non-linarites and large friction forces. The goal of this paper is to develop and experimentally validate a robust numerical model that simulates the acceleration behavior of a uni-axial servo-hydraulic shaking table system with considering three friction models, the LuGre model, the modified LuGre model and the new modified LuGre model. First, a full system model of servo-hydraulic system is developed based on fluid mechanical expressions and then the friction force of hydraulic cylinder is modeled and validated on the real shaking table. Data of the experiment are gathered from input command valve, and the output acceleration and position of the table. All models are simulated by using MATLAB and SIMULINK computer program. The parameters of the system and the friction models are estimated by using least square method (LSM). Finally, the comparisons of simulated results with experimental ones show that the model of the system with considering third model of the friction can predict accurately the shaking table’s behaviors.

Application of atomic force microscope (AFM) as a manipulator for pushing-based positioning of nanoparticles has been of considerable interest during recent years. Nevertheless comprehensive researches has been done on modeling and the dynamics analysis of nanoparticle behavior during the positioning process. The development of dynamics modeling of nanoparticle is crucial to have an accurate manipulation. In this paper, a comprehensive model of pushing based manipulation of a nanoparticle by AFM probe is presented. The proposed nanomanipulation model consists of all effective phenomena in nanoscale. Nanoscale interaction forces, elastic deformation in contact areas and friction forces in tip/particle/substrate system are considered. These effects are utilized to derive governing dynamics of the lumped model of AFM and nanoparticle during the manipulation process. The utilized friction models are a modified Coulomb approach and Lund-Grenoble (LuGre) model. The former is a combination of both normal force and contact surface area. The latter is dependent on the velocity of the nanoparticle and leads to stick-slip behavior of the nanoparticle. Finally, the compatibility and effectiveness of the two proposed models are simulated and compared.

AbstractDynamic simulation of mechanical systems can be performed using a multibody system dynamics approach. The approach allows to account systems of other physical nature, such as hydraulic actuators. In such systems, the nonlinearity and numerical stiffness introduced by the friction model of the hydraulic cylinders can be an important aspect to consider in the modeling because it can lead to poor computational efficiency. This paper couples various friction models of a hydraulic cylinder with the equations of motion of a hydraulically actuated multibody system in a monolithic framework. To this end, two static friction models, the Bengisu–Akay model and Brown–McPhee model, and two dynamic friction models, the LuGre model and modified LuGre model, are considered in this work. A hydraulically actuated four-bar mechanism is exemplified as a case study. The four modeling approaches are compared based on the work cycle, friction force, energy balance, and numerical efficiency. It is concluded that the Brown–McPhee approach is numerically the most efficient approach and it is well able to describe usual friction characteristics in dynamic simulation of hydraulically actuated multibody systems.

Damping is one of the important issues related to isolated structures, including the newly proposed low-cost spring-asphalt isolation system. In this study, the damping properties of the system in terms of displacement dependence, frequency dependence and temperature dependence were studied by a cyclic simple shear experiment. Then, the direct least-square method was used to identify the damping properties from the experimental data. Furthermore, to validate the effectiveness of the damping device, a modal analysis was conducted based on multi-dimensional shaking table tests. The results indicate that (1) the hysteretic curves are similar to an ellipse, which means that the asphalt shows characteristics of viscoelastic materials; (2) the damping properties are positively related to the loading frequency and inversely related to the temperature and displacement; and (3) asphalt can provide adequate damping and reduce the displacements of the superstructure by nearly half. On the basis of the experimental test results, an analysis of the modal information with multi-dimensional input is also presented.

To solve these problems (i.e. the accuracy rate and stability of the centering) of enabling secondary machining of micro-holes with a size of 0.1 to 1 mm in high-performance metal alloy parts, a non-standard nested circle-fitting least-square method, with a linear constraint passing through the center (least square method with linear constraint [LSLC]), is proposed in this article. The experimental results show that the center of the circle is fitted with a maximum deviation of ±1.5 µm and good fitting precision, compared to other existing approaches. At the same time, the accuracy rate is increased by at least 20%, delivering a result of more than 99%, so the accuracy of the fitting and the stability of the centering are significantly improved. Finally, the new method is applied in actual micro-hole electrochemical deburring study. With the overall goal of ensuring centering, a rough-and-fine deburring process has been explored. On the premise that the hole is not expanded, the burrs have been quickly and completely removed, and machined surface roughness, Ra, has also reduced from 1.2 to 0.52 µm. The experiment has provided concrete validation of the feasibility of the nested circle-fitting method we have proposed.

Rational basis functions are introduced into iterative learning control to enhance the flexibility towards nonrepeating tasks. At present, the application of rational basis functions either suffers from nonconvex optimization problem or requires the predefinition of poles, which restricts the achievable performance. In this article, a new data-driven rational feedforward tuning approach is developed, in which convex optimization is realized without predefining the poles. Specifically, the optimal parameter which eliminates the reference-induced error is directly solved using the least square method. No parametric model is involved in the parameter tuning process and the optimal parameter is estimated using the measured data. In the noisy condition, it is proved that the estimated optimal parameter is unbiased and the estimation accuracy in terms of variance is analysed. The performance of the proposed approach is tested on an ultraprecision wafer stage. The experimental results confirm that high performance is achieved using the proposed approach.

A concept of a kidney uptake coefficient (UC) of 131I-o-hippurate was developed by analogy from the corresponding kidney clearance of blood plasma in the early period after injection of the hippurate. The UC for each kidney was defined as the count-rate over its ROI at a time shorter than the peak in the renoscintigraphic curve divided by the integral of the count-rate curve over the "blood"-ROI. A procedure for normalization of both curves against each other was also developed. The total kidney clearance of the hippurate was determined from the function of plasma activity concentration vs. time after a single injection; the determinations were made at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 min after intravenous administration of 131I-o-hippurate and the best-fit curve was obtained by means of the least-square method. When the UC was related to the absolute value of the clearance a positive linear correlation was found (r = 0.922, ρ > 0.99). Using this regression equation the clearance could be estimated in reverse from the uptake coefficient calculated solely on the basis of the renoscintigraphic curves without blood sampling. The errors of the estimate are compatible with the requirement of a fast appraisal of renal function for purposes of clinical diagknosis.

In this study, two-phase asymmetric peristaltic Carreau-Yasuda nanofluid flow in a vertical and tapered wavy channel is demonstrated and the mixed heat transfer analysis is considered for it. For the modeling, two-phase method is considered to be able to study the nanoparticles concentration as a separate phase. Also it is assumed that peristaltic waves travel along X-axis at a constant speed, c. Furthermore, constant temperatures and constant nanoparticle concentrations are considered for both, left and right walls. This study aims at an analytical solution of the problem by means of least square method (LSM) using the Maple 15.0 mathematical software. Numerical outcomes will be compared. Finally, the effects of most important parameters (Weissenberg number, Prandtl number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, local temperature and nanoparticle Grashof numbers) on the velocities, temperature and nanoparticles concentration functions are presented. As an important outcome, on the left side of the channel, increasing the Grashof numbers leads to a reduction in velocity profiles, while on the right side, it is the other way around.
