The paper delineates the procedure to assess probable failure sections through the dynamic conditions of a vertically tapered frame using the experimental modal analysis (EMA), which is validated through the finite element analysis (FEA). The modal parameters are experimentally determined by the frequency response functions (FRFs) using the accelerometer, force transducer, electro-dynamic shaker, dynamic signal analyzer (DSA) and post processed by the ME’Scope software. The ANSYS Workbench 14 was used for finding the modal parameters through the FEA. The FEA model was also tested by convergence study. The boundary conditions of the vertically tapered frame in the FEA is kept similar to the EMA. The values obtained by the two methods have been compared for their proximity.

The processing performance is closely related with dynamic performance and the dynamic performance is one of the most important performance indicators which is affecting the performance and product quality. The machine is affected most by the dynamic performance of machine bed. The modal analysis method is used to analyze the dynamic performance of the machine. In this paper, the modal analysis of lathe bed is conducted. A 3D solid model of HTC100 NC lathe bed is built with SolidWorks. In order to facilitate the finite element analysis, the model of lathe bed is simplified. The modal analysis of lathe bed is calculated with ANSYS Workbench 12. The first six natural frequencies and corresponding modes are obtained through modal analysis of the lathe bed. According to the low-order natural frequency and modal vibration shapes, the rigidity vulnerable area of lathe bed is realized, which provides the reliable theory to improve lathe bed structure.

Spiders rely on a hydraulic system to stretch their legs but use muscles to make their legs flex. The compound drive of hydraulics and muscle makes an integrate dexterous structure with powerful locomotion abilities, which perfectly meets the primary requirements of advanced robots. Inspired by this hydraulics-muscle co-drive joint, a novel flexible joint actuator was proposed and its driving characteristics were preliminarily explored. The bio-inspired flexible joint manifested as a double-constrained balloon actuator, which was fabricated by the composite process of 3D printing and casting. To evaluate its performance, the mathematical model was deduced, as well as the finite element analysis (FEA) model. A series of experiments on the rotation angles, driving forces, and efficiencies of the flexible joint were carried out and compared with the mathematical calculations and FEA simulations. The results show that the accuracy of the two theoretical models can be used to assess the joint actuator. The locomotion test of a soft arthropod robot with two flexible joints was also implemented, where the moving speed reached 22 mm/s and the feasibility of the proposed flexible joint applied to a soft robot was demonstrated.

Dielectric Insulation

This study provides a methodology that can be used to evaluate the dynamic performance of fast depressurization devices used in liquid-filled oil transformers. Liquid-filled transformers are susceptible to explosions due to internal arcing if the dielectric insulation fails. The internal arc vaporizes a portion of the liquid and generates a sudden pressure wave. The first peak of the pressure wave has been measured to be as high as 13 bars, with time durations on the order of milliseconds [1]. Transformer tanks have a typical static withstand limit of approximately 1 bar gauge [2]. It is thus imperative that the tank be depressurized before the static pressure reaches such a threshold. One industry-accepted Fast Depressurization System [3] used to depressurize transformers after an internal arc is based on a patented rupture disk design [4]. This study compares the dynamic performance of this disk to results from a successful test campaign using a rupture disk as the depressurization device. Limiting loading rate values from the test campaign are then used to comment on the effectiveness of the design. The evaluation methodology is based on Pressure-Impulse (P-I) curves. The P-I curve was generated by running a series of Implicit Dynamic analysis using Code_Aster [5]. This iterative process first required establishing a failure mode that is consistent with actual observed failure in the field and observable in the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model. The criteria were then used in interpreting the response of the Rupture Disk to a series of different half-sine wave pulse loading of varying amplitudes and time-periods. The generated P-I curve was then compared to loading rates observed in the test campaign [1] as well as three other higher loading rates (1.28 times, 2 times, 3.8 times, and 10.25 times the reported experimental rate) to qualitatively assess the effectiveness of the design. Results indicated that disk functions extremely effectively as a Fast Depressurization System as also corroborated by the test campaign. Although this methodology is used for the rupture disk, it is expected that this methodology can be extended to compare the dynamic performance of other depressurization devices.

Main Frame

Because both of the volume and the weight of the photoelectric platform are small, the structure of two frames and two axes is used in the photoelectric platform. As the key component of the photoelectric platform, the main frame should have sufficient strength and rigidity. In order to achieve this object, three-dimensional entity model of the main frame is established using CATIA software. Then the finite-element analysis of the model is finished with ANSYS Workbench. Based on the analysis results, the weak links of the main frame is found. Then these links are improved and the main frame is analyzed again. After improving the structure, the results of the finite-element analysis show that the main frame meets the requirements of design and has perfect overall performance.
