The multiple corrugated diaphragm (MCD) coupling is a new flexible coupling developed based on the diaphragm and diaphragm disc coupling. Compared to traditional couplings, the MCD coupling has the advantages of high torque diameter, high torque weight, and high compensation capability. It is more suitable for high power speed and high power density working conditions. The MCD coupling is subjected to axial, angular, torque, and centrifugal force loads. The fatigue failure caused by alternating stress is the primary failure mode of the coupling. The fatigue life of the MCD coupling cannot be accurately calculated because of the complexity of the force in operation. Some theoretical simplifications can only obtain the approximate result. In this paper, a parameterized finite element model of the MCDs is established. A method for calculating the fatigue safety factor of the MCD coupling is proposed based on a modified Goodman curve to know the design of the MCD coupling. The feasibility of this method is verified by the fatigue life test of the coupling.

Fatigue Life Test

A high pressure material testing system (max. pressure: 140 MPa, temperature range: −80 ∼ 90 °C) was developed to investigate the testing method of material compatibility for high pressure gaseous hydrogen. In this study, SSRT and fatigue life test of JIS SUS304 and SUS316 austenitic stainless steel were performed in high pressure gaseous hydrogen at room temperature, −45, and −80 °C. These testing results were compared with those in laboratory air atmosphere at the same test temperature range. The SSRT tests were performed at a strain rate of 5 × 10−5 s−1 in 105 MPa hydrogen gas, and nominal stress-strain curves were obtained. The 0.2% offset yield strength (Ys) did not show remarkable difference between in hydrogen gas and in laboratory air atmosphere for SUS304 and SUS316. Total elongation after fracture (El) in hydrogen gas at −45 and −80 °C were approximately 15 % for SUS304 and 20% for SUS316. In the case of fatigue life tests, a smooth surface round bar test specimen with a diameter of 7 mm was used at a frequency of 1, 0.1, and 0.01 Hz under stress rate of R = −1 (tension-compression) in 100 MPa hydrogen gas. It can be seen that the fatigue life test results of SUS304 and SUS316 showed same tendency. The fatigue limit at room temperature in 100 MPa hydrogen gas was comparable with that in laboratory air. The room temperature fatigue life in high pressure hydrogen gas appeared to be the more severe condition compared to the fatigue life at low temperature. The normalized stress amplitude (σa / Ts) at the fatigue limit was 0.37 to 0.39 for SUS304 and SUS316 austenitic stainless steels, respectively.

As the IGBT power modules have promising potentials in the application of the field of traction or new energy, the higher power density and higher current rating of the IGBT module become more and more attractive. Thermal resistance is one of the most important characteristics in the application of power semiconductor module. A new 1500A/3300V IGBT module in traction application is developed successfully by Zhuzhou CSR Times Electric Co., Ltd (Lincoln). Thermal resistance management of this IGBT module with high power density is performed in this paper. Based on thermal nodes network, an equivalent circuit model for thermal resistance of power module is highlighted from which the steady state thermal resistance can be optimized by theoretical analysis. Furthermore, thermal numerical simulation of 1500A/3300V IGBT module is accomplished by means of finite element model (FEM). Finally, the thermal equivalent model of the IGBT module is verified by simulation results.

Fatigue Life Test

Hydraulic servo actuator is used as the core actuator in tensile compression fatigue life test equipment as it operates the micro displacement very precisely at a high frequency and can be used continuously for a long period of time. Recently, the life expectancy of automobiles has been extended, the load conditions of accelerated life testing on auto parts have been increased, and the life test time and number of tests have increased significantly in order to secure the reliability of the guaranteed life of produced vehicles. Therefore, hydraulic servo actuators mounted on accelerated life testing equipment for automotive parts are essential for much higher performance and a longer life than those tested. However, small- and medium-sized companies that supply test equipment for the fatigue life of auto often fail to develop technology due to a lack of research personnel and the development budget compared to the capabilities of large automobile manufacturers, resulting in frequent breakdowns due to the technical overload of test equipment. In this study, servo actuators were used to test automotive parts, with a maximum output of 2 ton, a maximum frequency of 3.3 Hz and a maximum displacement of 50 mm. The hydraulic servo actuator, which was installed in the tensile compression fatigue life test equipment, failed to operate normally at the site, and by analyzing it, we realized this resulted from the heat generation of insulation compression due to the accumulation of air and gas into the hydraulic oil and the increase in friction due to the deterioration of flow. A static pressure bearing was adopted as a design change to improve the root cause for this failure mode, and a very high level of geometric concentricity was secured by inserting concentric tubes outside the labyrinth seal type piston. The newly designed and manufactured actuator is the result of research that has achieved a semi-permanent long life and improved performance up to 100 Hz by non-contact operation.
