The randomness of a high-speed elevator car system’s parameters was caused by manufacturing and installation error. In order to more accurately evaluate the dynamic behavior of the elevator car, the compound vibration problems containing both random excitation and random parameters were studied. The deterministic part and random part of the acceleration response were derived by the perturbation theory, and the vibration image in the time domain and frequency domain were analyzed. The sensitivity expressions of each parameter to the system response were established in the random vibration system. The acceleration standard deviation due to random excitation was calculated by the pseudo excitation method. The acceleration standard deviation due to the random parameters was obtained according to the displacement response covariance matrix and random parameters covariance matrix. The discrete degree of random excitation and random parameters on the transverse acceleration of the car was analyzed in an example, and the influence degree of each parameter on acceleration responses was quantitatively described by calculating the response sensitivity of random parameters. This paper provides an effective method for the analysis of the vibration characteristics of the high speed elevator car system.

A method is developed that can be used to calculate the stationary response of randomly excited nonlinear systems. The method iterates to obtain the fast Fourier transform of the system response, returning to the time domain at each iteration to take advantage of the ease in evaluating nonlinearities there. The updated estimates of the nonlinear terms are transformed back into the frequency domain in order to continue iterating on the frequency spectrum of the staionary response. This approach is used to calculate the response of a one degree of freedom system with friction damping that is subjected to random excitation. The one degree of freedom system provides a single mode approximation of systems (e.g. turbine blades) with friction damping. This study investigates various strategies that can be used to optimize the friction load so as to minimize the response of the system.

In this paper, for studying the influence of the randomness of structural parameters of high-speed elevator lifting system (HELS) caused by manufacturing error and installation error, a continuous time-varying model of HELS was constructed, considering the compensation rope mass and the tension of the tensioning system. The Galerkin weighted residual method is employed to transform the partial differential equation with infinite degrees of freedom (DOF) into the ordinary differential equation. The five-order polynomial is used to fit the actual operation state curve of elevator, and input as operation parameters. The precise integration method of time-varying model of HELS is proposed. The determination part and the random part response expression of the longitudinal dynamic response of HELS are derived by the random perturbation method. Using the precise integration method, the sensitivity of random parameters is determined by solving the random part response expression of time-varying model of HELS, and the digital characteristics of the acceleration response are analyzed. It is found that the line density of the hoisting wire rope has the maximum sensitivity on longitudinal vibration velocity response, displacement response and acceleration response, and the sensitivity of the elastic modulus of the wire rope is smallest.

An ellipse describes the polarized part of a partially polarized quasi-monochromatic plane wave field. Its azimuth angle and aspect ratio are functions of the elements of the covariance matrix associated with the polarized part at a particular time instant. Given an ensemble of K independent samples at that time, the distributions of the estimators of these parameters are derived. The estimation is thus based on a sample ensemble at any time, and does not assume temporal stationarity. Additionally, the azimuth angle estimator has an angular distribution so that non-standard statistical methods are needed when deriving its mean and standard deviation.

The aim of this study was (I) to establish absolute specific velocity thresholds during basketball games using local positional system (LPS) and (II) to compare the speed profiles between various levels of competitions. The variables recorded were total distance (TD); meters per minute (m·min); real time (min); maximum speed (Km h−1), distance (m), percentage distance, and percentage duration invested in four speed zones (standing–walking; jogging; running; and high-speed running). Mean and standard deviation (±SD) were calculated, and a separate one-way analysis of variance was undertaken to identify differences between competitions. TD (3188.84 ± 808.37 m) is covered by standing–walking (43.51%), jogging (36.58%), running (14.68%), and sprinting (5.23%) activities. Overall, 75.22% of the time is invested standing–walking, jogging (18.43%), running (4.77%), and sprinting (1.89%). M·min (large effect size), % duration zone 2 (moderate effect size); distance zone 4 (large effect size), and % distance zone 4 (very large effect size) are significantly higher during junior than senior. However, % distance zone 1 (large effect size) and % duration zone 1 (large effect size) were largely higher during senior competition. The findings of this study reveal that most of the distance and play time is spent during walking and standing activities. In addition, the proportion of time spent at elevated intensities is higher during junior than in senior competition.

This paper develops an approach to evaluate a state-space controller design for mobile manipulators using a geometric representation of the system response in tool space. The method evaluates the robot system dynamics with a control scheme and the resulting response is called the controllability ellipsoid (CE), a tool space representation of the system’s motion response given a unit input. The CE can be compared with a corresponding geometric representation of the required motion task (called the motion polyhedron) and evaluated using a quantitative measure of the degree to which the task is satisfied. The traditional control design approach views the system response in the time domain. Alternatively, the proposed CE views the system response in the domain of the input variables. In order to complete the task, the CE must fully contain the motion polyhedron. The optimal robot arrangement would minimize the total area of the CE while fully containing the motion polyhedron. This is comparable to minimizing the power requirements of robot design when applying a uniform scale to all inputs. It will be shown that changing the control parameters changes the eccentricity and orientation of the CE, implying a preferred set of control parameters to minimize the design motor power. When viewed in the time domain, the control parameters can be selected to achieve desired stability and time response. When coupled with existing control design methods, the CE approach can yield robot designs that are stable, responsive, and minimize the input power requirements.

A novel control concept is presented for the online control of a high-speed micro-milling model system in the time and frequency domains concurrently. Micro-milling response at high-speed is highly sensitive to machining condition and external perturbation, easily deteriorating from bifurcation to chaos. When losing stability, milling time response is no longer periodic and the frequency response becomes broadband, rendering aberrational tool chatter and probable tool damage. The controller effectively mitigates the nonlinear vibration of the tool in the time domain and at the same time confines the frequency response from expanding and becoming chaotically broadband. The simultaneous time-frequency control is achieved through manipulating wavelet coefficients, thus not limited by the increasing bandwidth of the chaotic system — a fundamental restraint that deprives contemporary controller designs of validity and effectiveness. The feedforward feature of the control concept prevents errors from re-entering the control loop and inadvertently perturbing the sensitive micro-milling system. Because neither closed-form nor linearization is required, the innate, genuine features of the micro-milling response are faithfully retained.

The vibration response of a rotor bearing system is extremely important in industries and is challenged by their highly non-linear and complex properties. This paper focuses on performance prediction using response surface method (RSM), which is essential to the design of high performance rotor bearing system. Response surface method is utilized to analysis the effects of design and operating parameters on the vibration response of a rotor-bearing system. A test rig of high speed rotor supported on rolling bearings is used. Vibration response of the healthy ball bearing and ball bearings with various faults are obtained and analyzed. Distributed defects are considered as surface waviness of the bearing components. Effects of internal radial clearance and surface waviness of the bearing components and their interaction are analyzed using design of experiment (DOE) and RSM.

Abstract Avoiding quality problems in passenger cars, such as squeak and rattle (S&R), has been a remarkable cost-saving consideration. The introduction of electric engines and less engaged drivers due to autonomous driving is expected to further stress the need for quieter cabins. However, the complexity of the virtual evaluation of S&R events has obstructed the practical treatment of these quality issues in the pre-design-freeze phases of product development. In this study, new quantified frequency-domain metrics are proposed to measure the risk for the generation of S&R in subsystem assemblies. The proposed metrics measure the resonance risk and the mode shape similarity in the critical interfaces for S&R. The calculations are done based on the system response in the frequency domain. Compared to the time-domain evaluation methods, the knowledge about the system excitation levels is not essential and the calculations are more time-efficient. The proposed metrics can be used in closed-loop design optimisation processes to involve S&R attributes in the pre-design-freeze attribute trade-off activities besides other attributes. In this work, these metrics were used in a two-stage optimisation problem to optimise the connection configuration in two industrial cases. As compared to the baseline design, the risk for S&R was reduced by improving the system behaviour in terms of resonance risk and mode shape similarity. This was achieved by applying some adjustments to the location of the fasteners while maintaining the same general connection configuration concept.
