A novel decoupled XY compliant micro-positioning stage, based on a bridge-type amplification mechanism and parallelogram mechanisms, is designed in this paper. Analytical models of the bridge-type amplification mechanism and parallelogram mechanisms are developed by Castigliano’s second theorem and a Beam constrained model. The amplification ratio, input stiffness, and output stiffness of the stage are further derived, based on the proposed model. In order to verify the theoretical analysis, the finite element method (FEM) is used for simulation and modal analysis, and the simulation results indicate that the errors of the amplification ratio, input stiffness, and output stiffness of the stage between the proposed model and the FEM results are 2.34%, 3.87%, and 2.66%, respectively. Modal analysis results show that the fundamental natural frequency is 44 Hz, and the maximum error between the theoretical model and the FEM is less than 4%, which further validates the proposed modeling method. Finally, the prototype is fabricated to test the amplification ratio, cross-coupling error, and workspace. The experimental results demonstrate that the stage has a relatively large workspace, of 346.1 μm × 357.2 μm, with corresponding amplification ratios of 5.39 in the X-axis and 5.51 in the Y-axis, while the cross-coupling error is less than 1.5%.

Abstract. This paper presents an improved modeling method for bridge-type mechanism by taking the input displacement loss into consideration, and establishes an amplification ratio model of bridge-type mechanism according to compliance matrix method and elastic beam theory. Moreover, the amplification ratio of the designed bridge-type nano-positioner is obtained by taking the guiding mechanism as the external load of bridge-type mechanism. Comparing with existing methods, the proposed model is more accurate, which is further verified by finite element analysis(FEA) and experimental test. The consistency of the results obtained from theoretical model, FEA and experimental testing indicates that the proposed model can accurately predict the amplification characteristics of nano-positioners, which helps the analysis and design of bridge-type nano-positioners in practical applications.

The Ideal

A piezoelectric nanostage using bridge-type flexure hinge mechanisms is developed. Elastic beam theory was used to analyze the ideal and theoretic displacement amplification ratio and find that their value is mainly influenced by the length of the tilt rod and tilt angle of bridge-type. A multilayer S-type hinge is designed as the prismatic of moving platform. Stiffness and natural frequency model of the whole stage is built and find out that their value is mainly relevant to hinge thickness, tilt angle of bridge-type hinge and length of S-type hinge. Finally, finite element method (FEM) is used to verify the drived model. The errors of the total stiffness and the natural frequency of the stage between FEM and theory analysis are 3.8% and 6.6% respectively, which confirm the predictions of theory analysis.

Abstract This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the thermal couple impedance model of power modules (PMs), in which Silicon Carbide (SiC) Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect-Transistor (MOSFET) dies are implemented. The model considers the thermal cross-coupling effect, representing the temperature rise of a die due to power dissipations by the other dies in the same PM. We propose a characterization method to obtain the thermal couple impedance of the SiC MOSFET-based PMs for model accuracy. Simulation based on the proposed model accurately estimates the measured die temperature of three PMs with different die placements. The maximum error between measured and simulated die temperatures is within 8.1 ◦C in a wide and practical operation range from 70 ◦C to 200 ◦C. The thermal couple impedance model is helpful to design die placements of high power PMs considering the thermal cross-coupling effect.

In some areas such as micro-mechanical, ultra-precision machining, nanotechnology, the high-precision positioning and very fine vertical scanning motion are needed urgently. Therefore, the Z-axis micro-displacement driving control technology has become the key technology in these areas. The piezoelectric ceramics actuator and stepper motor were integrated into hybrid linear actuator in Z-axis nanopositioning stage, and this can simplify the structure of the drive system. By calculating the gravity center of the vertical scanning system, and using single counterweight, a new one-arm bridge type structure was built. Appropriate tension and current sensors were also equipped in order to real-time monitor the drive status. It is feasible to balance the weight with this simplified system structure, and also guarantee the driving control accuracy of nanopositioning stage. Besides, in the structural design, the Abbe error can be reduced greatly by placing the stage center, grating ruler and displacement measurement centerline on the same line with grating reading head. The driving travel of nanopositioning stage is 150mm, and driving resolution is 1nm. The designing method introduced gives a scientific method and practical reference for the development of z-axis driving control system.

Virtualization of resources is a widely accepted technique to optimize resources in recent technologies. Virtualization allows users to execute their services on the same physical machine, keeping these services isolated from each other. This paper proposes the analytical models for performability evaluation of virtualized servers with dynamic resource utilization. The performance and avalability models are considered separately due to the behaviour of the proposed system. The well-known Markov Reward Model (MRM) is used for the solution of the analytical model considered together with an exact spectral expansion and product form solution. The dynamic resource utilization is employed to enhance the QoS of the proposed model which is another major issue in the performance characterization of virtulazilation. In this paper, the performability output parameters, such as mean queue length, mean response time and blocking probability are computed and presented for the proposed model. In addition, the performability results obtained from the analytical models are validated by the simulation (DES) results to show the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed work. The results indicate the proposed modelling results show good agreement with DES and understand the factors are very important to improve the QoS.

In this study, we take the effect of the anterior movement of the optic into account and propose a novel haptic based on lever-type and bridge-type flexible amplification mechanisms. Based on the consideration of the offset of the rotation center of the flexible hinge, we have deduced the formula for calculating the amplification ratio of the proposed four-stage amplifier. The geometric parameters and the material property parameters, in terms of the clinical measurement data of the human eye, are assumed to restrain the structural features and motion trajectories for the amplifier. As the ciliary muscle achieves the contraction limit, the output displacement and amplification ratio reach the highest and lowest values, separately, and gradually approach a stable range. The amplification ratio of formula calculation and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) are around 18.86 and 17.79, respectively, with the input displacement ranging from 0.115mm to 0.127mm. The error of the amplification ratio between theoretical method and FEA is less than 5%. The presented haptic acting as a four-stage displacement amplifier, enables an improved lens power of 3.80 diopters to obtain much more focus shift to achieve a better near visual performance for patients.

Force Calculation

Based on the summary of existing pounding force analytical models, an updated pounding force analysis method is proposed by introducing viscoelastic constitutive model and contact mechanics method. Traditional Kelvin viscoelastic pounding force model can be expanded to 3-parameter linear viscoelastic model by separating classic pounding model parameters into geometry parameters and viscoelastic material parameters. Two existing pounding examples, the poundings of steel-to-steel and concrete-to-concrete, are recalculated by utilizing the proposed method. Afterwards, the calculation results are compared with other pounding force models. The results show certain accuracy in proposed model. The relative normalized errors of steel-to-steel and concrete-to-concrete experiments are 19.8% and 12.5%, respectively. Furthermore, a steel-to-polymer pounding example is calculated, and the application of the proposed method in vibration control analysis for pounding tuned mass damper (TMD) is simulated consequently. However, due to insufficient experiment details, the proposed model can only give a rough trend for both single pounding process and vibration control process. Regardless of the cheerful prospect, the study in this paper is only the first step of pounding force calculation. It still needs a more careful assessment of the model performance, especially in the presence of inelastic response.

The spaceborne transmitter/missile-borne receiver (ST/MR) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) could provide several unique advantages, such as wide coverage, unrestricted geography, a small detection probability of the missile, and forward-looking imaging. However, it is also accompanied by problems in imaging, including geometric model establishment and focusing algorithm design. In this paper, an ST/MR SAR model is first presented and then the flight-path constraint, characterized by geometric configurations, is derived. Considering the impacts brought about by the maneuvers of the missile, a non-‘Stop-Go’ mathematical model is devised and it can avoid the large errors introduced by the acceleration, which is neglected in the traditional model. Finally, a two-dimensional (2-D) scaling algorithm is developed to focus the ST/MR data. Without introducing any extra operations, it can greatly remove the spatial variations of the range, azimuth, and cross-coupling phases simultaneously and entirely in the 2-D hybrid domain. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and focusing approach.
