To provide a more reliable rotor damping system for high-speed compressor with flexible rotor, a passive magnetic damping integrated with an active axial bearing (PMDAB) system is proposed. The PMDAB system can provide active force in axial direction and also can provide damping force without control system in radial direction. To enhance the damping ability of the system, an analytical model is set up especially for the high-speed vibration rotor, and the relation between resistance of radial coils and the provided damping force is discussed for the first time. The coupling characteristic between passive radial damping coefficient and active axial bearing stiffness is also analyzed; the result shows that the coupling is too small, therefore can be neglected. Finally, a design example for a high-speed compressor is given based on electromagnetic analysis of PMDAB and dynamic analysis of the flexible rotor. The analytical and design results, which are verified by the finite element method result, show that the PMDAB is effective in controlling the first bending vibration of flexible rotor.

This paper proposes a new modeling technique and control system design for flexible rotors using active magnetic bearings (AMB) to pass through many critical speeds and fulfill high-speed rotation. To achieve this purpose, it is necessary to control not only motion but also many modes of bending vibration. For the purpose, an extended reduced order physical model that is able to express simultaneously the motion and bending vibration of the flexible rotor, is proposed. Furthermore, a new controller combined PID with LQ control is adapted to control the flexible rotor. Effectiveness of the proposed modeling and control approach for the flexible rotor is verified through simulations and experiments.

AbstractThis article mainly focuses on the most common types of high-speed railways malfunctions in overhead contact systems, namely, unstressed droppers, foreign-body invasions, and pole number-plate malfunctions, to establish a deep-network detection model. By fusing the feature maps of the shallow and deep layers in the pretraining network, global and local features of the malfunction area are combined to enhance the network's ability of identifying small objects. Further, in order to share the fully connected layers of the pretraining network and reduce the complexity of the model, Tucker tensor decomposition is used to extract features from the fused-feature map. The operation greatly reduces training time. Through the detection of images collected on the Lanxin railway line, experiments result show that the proposed multiview Faster R-CNN based on tensor decomposition had lower miss probability and higher detection accuracy for the three types faults. Compared with object-detection methods YOLOv3, SSD, and the original Faster R-CNN, the average miss probability of the improved Faster R-CNN model in this paper is decreased by 37.83%, 51.27%, and 43.79%, respectively, and average detection accuracy is increased by 3.6%, 9.75%, and 5.9%, respectively.

At present, a commercially available magnetic barrel machine equipped with permanent magnets has some faults arising from constructional reason. That is, grinding or finishing ability is different from place to place in the machining region, resulting in the limitation on the region we can use in the container of workpieces. Therefore, in this research, authors made the new magnetic barrel machine equipped with three dimensional (3D) magnet arrangement to overcome these faults. The grinding ability of the new 3D magnetic barrel machine converted was experimentally examined, and compared with that of the traditional magnetic barrel machine. As a result, it was shown that we can use much broader region in the new 3D machine. It was also shown that the grinding ability became higher. The distribution of barrel media in action was recorded by means of a high speed video camera. It was clarified that the media rose up higher and were distributed more uniformly in the container by the effect of the magnet block newly set up. It was supposed that this must be the reason for the above-mentioned improvement of grinding ability.

In this study, a high-intensity ultrasonic liquid processor was used to obtain a homogeneous molecular mixture of epoxy resin and carbon nano fiber. The carbon nano fibers were infused into the part A of SC-15 (diglycidylether of Bisphenol A) through sonic cavitations and then mixed with part B of SC-15 (cycloaliphatic amine hardener) using a high-speed mechanical agitator. The trapped air and reaction volatiles were removed from the mixture using high vacuum. Nanophased epoxy with 2 wt.% CNF was then utilized in a vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) set up with carbon fabric to fabricate laminated composites. The effectiveness of CNF addition on matrix dominated properties of composites has been evaluated by compression, open hole compression and inter-laminar shear. The compression strength, open hole compression strength and ILS were improved by 21%, 23% and 15%, respectively as compared to the neat composite.

High power density energy regeneration is one of the effective solutions to solve the contradiction between improving the damping performance and energy consumption of active suspension. The hydraulic commutator is used to realize hydraulic rectification and hydraulic variable speed/pump/motor with few teeth difference gear pairs is used to match the speed, combined with permanent magnet motor power generation and power supply to put forward kilowatt level high power density mechanical-electrical-hydraulic regenerative suspension system for high-speed tracked vehicles. The mathematical model and fluid-solid-thermo-magnetic multiphysics coupling model are built to analyze the damping performance and regenerative characteristics of the system under passive and semi-active working conditions. The simulation results show that the damping force of the system increases with the increase of the road excitation amplitude and the semi-active control can be realized by adjusting the duty cycle with the PWM control rectifier module. The high power density mechanical-electrical-hydraulic regenerative suspension system can realize kilowatt level energy regeneration, and the regenerative efficiency is more than 50% under low-frequency excitation. The temperature rise of the system is low during operation, which is helpful to improve the reliability and service life.

Abstract The forces on marine and offshore structures are often affected by spilling breakers. The spilling breaker is characterized by a roller of mixed air and water with a forward speed approximately equal to the wave celerity. This high speed in the top of the wave has the potential to induce high wave loads on upper parts of the structures. This study analyzed the effect of the air content on the forces. The analyses used the Morison equation to examine the effect of the percentage of air on the forces. An experimental set-up was developed to include the injection of air into an otherwise calm water body. The air-injection did introduce a high level a turbulence. It was possible to assess the amount of air content in the water for different amounts of air-injection. In the mixture of air and water the force on an oscillating square cylinder was measured for different levels of air-content, — also in the case without air. The measurements indicated that force coefficients for clear water could be use in the Morison equation as long as the density for water was replaced by the density for the mixture of air and water.

Cooling of the turbine nozzle endwall is challenging due to its complex flow field involving strong secondary flows. Increasingly-effective cooling schemes are required to meet the higher turbine inlet temperatures required by today’s gas turbine applications. Therefore, in order to cool the endwall surface near the pressure side of the airfoil and the trailing edge extended area, the spent cooling air from the airfoil film cooling and pressure side discharge slots, referred to as “phantom cooling” is utilized. This paper studies the effect of compound angled pressure side injection on nozzle endwall surface. The measurements were conducted in a high speed linear cascade, which consists of three nozzle vanes and four flow passages. Two nozzle test models with a similar film cooling design were investigated, one with an axial pressure side film cooling row and trailing edge slots; the other with the same cooling features but with compound angled injection, aiming at the test endwall. Phantom cooling effectiveness on the endwall was measured using a Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) technique through the mass transfer analogy. Two-dimensional phantom cooling effectiveness distributions on the endwall surface are presented for four MFR (Mass Flow Ratio) values in each test case. Then the phantom cooling effectiveness distributions are pitchwise-averaged along the axial direction and comparisons were made to show the effect of the compound angled injection. The results indicated that the endwall phantom cooling effectiveness increases with the MFR significantly. A compound angle of the pressure side slots also enhanced the endwall phantom cooling significantly. For combined injections, the phantom cooling effectiveness is much higher than the pressure side slots injection only in the endwall downstream extended area.

In this paper an innovative air driven spindle for micro cutting applications is presented. The spindle uses a viscous traction concept which has the advantage that the viscous traction forces can act directly on the cylindrical part of the tool, which makes the tool-holder redundant. Furthermore, the tool can be actuated in the axial direction within the housing. In this paper the concept of the viscous turbine, a design of a prototype spindle along with the traction and load-capacity of the spindle are discussed.
