Momentum exchange impact dampers (MEIDs) were proposed to control the shock responses of mechanical structures. They were applied to reduce floor shock vibrations and control lunar/planetary exploration spacecraft landings. MEIDs are required to control an object’s velocity and displacement, especially for applications involving spacecraft landing. Previous studies verified numerous MEID performances through various types of simulations and experiments. However, previous studies discussing the optimal design methodology for MEIDs are limited. This study explicitly derived the optimal design parameters of MEIDs, which control the controlled object’s displacement and velocity to zero in one-dimensional motion. In addition, the study derived sub-optimal design parameters to control the controlled object’s velocity within a reasonable approximation to derive a practical design methodology for MEIDs. The derived sub-optimal design methodology could also be applied to MEIDs in two-dimensional motion. Furthermore, simulations conducted in the study verified the performances of MEIDs with optimal/sub-optimal design parameters.

Contemporary industrial production widely uses induction heating prior to the plastic deformation and heat treatment operations due to the benefits it provides in comparison with other types of heating technologies. In order to increase the efficiency of induction heating units and develop their operation mode, the research should be directed towards new design solutions in optimizing constructive parameters of inductors and control algorithms of heating processes. The main goal of the research is developing the best inductor design, which provides maximum temperature uniformity in the surface layer of the billet at the end of heating time. There has been formulated the problem of the inductor unit optimal design with respect to steel cylindrical billets, which can be solved by using the alternance method of parametric optimization of the systems with distributed parameters. Design parameters of the induction heating installation that include the geometry features and the current of power supply are considered as optimized parameters. Software package FLUX was used for developing 2D numerical model of interrelated magnetic and temperature fields in the process of induction heating to describe the system ‘induction heater - billet’. The results of numeric solution of the problem of optimal design have been analyzed.

Blade Model

A procedure is outlined for determining the optimal design of friction dampers for high-speed turbomachinery blading. The procedure includes: An integration of bench test results with finite-element analysis and a single-mode blade model to ensure accuracy of the analytical model and improve reliability of the friction damper design; an extension of the single-mode blade model to predict the engine behavior of friction dampers; and a new way of viewing analytical and experimental results in terms of a damper performance curve to determine optimal design parameters, when the levels of excitation and damping in the system are unknown. Unique experiments are performed on a test disk in order to demonstrate and verify the accuracy of the design procedure.

Abstract Designing a robot with the best accuracy is always the attractive research direction in robot community. In order to create a Gough-Stewart platform with guaranteed accuracy performance for a dedicated controller, this paper describes a novel advanced optimal design methodology: control-based design methodology. This advanced optimal design method considers the controller positioning accuracy in the design process for getting the optimal geometric parameters of the robot. In this paper, three types of visual servoing controllers are applied to control the motions of the Gough-Stewart platform: leg-direction-based visual servoing, line-based visual servoing and image moment visual servoing. Depend on these controllers, the positioning error models considering the camera observation error together with the controller singularities are analyzed. In the next step, the optimization problems are formulated in order to get the optimal geometric parameters of the robot and the placement of the camera for the Gough-Stewart platform for each type of controller. Then, we perform the co-simulations on the three optimized Gough-Stewart platforms in order to test the positioning accuracy and the robustness with respect to the manufacturing errors. It turns out that the optimal control-based design methodology helps getting both the optimum design parameters of the robot and the performance of the controller {robot + dedicated controller}.

In this paper we consider the structural and technological process of the combine used in the process of separate harvesting of grain crops, as well as a number of its parameters. Among the main units of the combine, we allocate a conveyor and devices for removing beveled stems from under the wheels of the vehicle. The principle of operation of the conveyor at different phases of the Reaper and especially the removal of cut stems from under the wheels of the vehicle during operation of the Reaper. The results of theoretical studies on the establishment of the optimal design of the parameters of the belt conveyor are presented, the ranges of their optimal values are considered and determined. Studies on the establishment of optimal parameters of the screw divider in the Reaper, which is the main component of the device for removal of beveled stems, are presented. Taking into account the optimal design and mode of operation of the screw divider, the correct work is provided to remove the cut stems from under the wheels of the harvester.

Noise Barrier

In this article, we have first presented a metasurface design methodology by coupling the acoustic cavity to the coiled channel. The geometrical design parameters in this structure are subsequently studied both analytically and numerically to identify a road map for silencer design. Next, upon tuning the design parameters, we have introduced an air-permeable noise barrier capable of sound silencing in the ultrawide band of the frequency. It is has been shown that the presented metasurface can achieve +10 dB sound transmission loss from 170 Hz to 1330 Hz (≈3 octaves). Furthermore, we have numerically studied the ventilation and heat transfer performance of the designed metasurface. Enabling noise mitigation by leveraging the proposed metasurface opens up new possibilities ranging from residential and office noise reduction to enabling ultralow noise fan, propellers, and machinery.
