The objective of this study is to find optimum governor coefficient for which fluctuation of engine speed is minimum, for given value of engine, turbo-charger, inlet and exhaust manifold characteristics. Current study uses the Wishnegradski Stability Diagram as suggested by V. I. Krutov [1], which graphically represents the dynamic response of governor based on the engine differential equation which is of the third order. For the load type of L = B cos (wt): The objective function is designed to minimize the integral squared error over a time period T, which is taken as 5seconds. The constraints are formed using Wishnegradski Stability Curves which are mathematically represented as x > 0 and xy – 1 > 0 y > 0, where x, y are non-dimensional parameters depending on engine characteristics and Ne is the error function. From the experimental data obtained by test on a marine turbo-charged, 6 cylinder engine model KTA-1150C-600 of the Kirloskar make, the optimized values of Kp, Ki and Kd were obtained as 798.94, 41.50 and 1137.4 respectively and corresponding objective function is 2.2202e-07 and amplitude of speed fluctuation is 2.6642e-04 rpm.

Abstract Use of mathematical optimization methods for synthesis of path-generating mechanisms has had only limited success due to the very complex nature of the commonly used Structural Error objective function. The complexity arises, in part, because the objective function represents not only the error in the shape of the coupler curve, but also the error in location, orientation and size of the curve. Furthermore, the common introduction of timing (or crank angle), done generally to facilitate selection of corresponding points on the curve for calculating structural error, has little practical value and unnecessarily limits possible solutions. This paper proposes a new objective function, based on Fourier Descriptors, which allows search for coupler curve of the desired shape without reference to location, orientation, or size. The proposed objective function compares overall shape properties of curves rather than making point-by-point comparison and therefore does not requires prescription of timing. Experimental evidence is provided to show that it is much easier to search the space of the proposed objective function compared to the structural error function.

In this paper, a new configuration of Crank-Rocker (CR) model has been proposed by duplicating its mechanism. The method has been implemented to overcome vibration problem on a single-piston Crank-Rocker engine caused by system unbalance. The new method suggests combining conventional method of adding counterweights to reduce shaking forces and eliminating the inertial moments on system by implementing the new layout. A dynamic study of the new model is presented, then the objective function is derived and implemented to perform the optimization process. Related design variables and system constraints are introduced to determine attached counterweights optimized characteristics. For results validation, the simulation, dynamic analysis, and optimization process were conducted using ADAMS VIEW® software. The output results were presented and discussed to verify the validity of the suggested method. It was noticed that the method was very effective and has managed to reduce the total shaking forces by about 91%, shaking moment by about 66%; and the driving torque by 27%.

For the thermal load of a heavy vehicle is too high in plateau environment, based on Hiroyasu spray model and predictive combustion model, a turbocharged diesel engine model with environmental adaptive predictive ability was established. The experimental results of 3700m revealed that the simulation result relative errors were less than 5%. The research of combustion chamber temperature field was made. This method provides a fundamental basis for further design of the combustion chamber.

This paper presents a novel methodology for path generation synthesis of the four-bar mechanism. A new objective function for the path generation synthesis problem, namely, the Geometrical Similarity Error Function (GSEF), is introduced. Indeed, GSEF assesses the similarity between generated and desired paths, and its number of design variables is less than those in the other synthesis methods. Then, using an Innovative Adaptive Algorithm (IAA), some operators are utilized for matching two similar paths. GSEF-IAA methodology has some significant advantages over the reported synthesis methods. The method is fast, takes much less CPU time, and saves a large amount of computer memory. Four path generation problems are solved using GSEF-IAA, and the results are compared with those of previous methods using some well-known optimization algorithms to demonstrate the efficiency of GSEF-IAA methodology.

SUMMARYInverse kinematics solutions are the basis for position and orientation control of automated machines in their Cartesian workspace. This paper presents an efficient and robust inverse kinematics algorithm for a new circumferential drilling machine for aircraft fuselage assembly. After a brief introduction to the circumferential drilling machine and its forward kinematics, the paper discusses the nonlinear optimization method for solving inverse kinematics problems. The objective function is defined as a weighted combination of a position error function and an orientation error function. By representing orientation error as the geodesic distance between two points on a unit sphere, the paper proposes to define the orientation error function by using faithful geodesic distance functions, which are accurate approximations to the geodesic distance when it is small. For increased efficiency, robustness, and easy setting of initial values, the inverse kinematics problem is decomposed into two subproblems. The revolute joint coordinates are obtained by nonlinear optimization, and the prismatic joint coordinates are calculated with closed-form formulas. Numerical experiments show that the objective function defined with faithful geodesic distance functions is effective, and the proposed algorithm is efficient, robust, and accurate. The algorithm has been successfully integrated into the control system of the circumferential drilling machine. Preliminary drilling experiments show that the position accuracy of drilled holes is within ±0.5 mm, which is acceptable for the assembly of large aircrafts.

Abstract A high-quality precision-controlled turntable apparatus was fabricated to probe the dynamic behavior of a viscous fluid contained in a cylindrical container. Vortex breakdown(s) produced by a rotating endwall disk was visualized by using a fluorescent dye injection technique, and its flow field was measured by using a particle image velocimetry. This flow is characterized by two non-dimensional parameters, i.e., the height-to-radius ratio H/R and the rotating Reynolds number Re = Ω2/v. Limiting boundaries for single, double and triple vortex breakdowns in steady flow were re-plotted to compare with the previous visualization studies of Escudier. The locations of stagnation points of the vortex breakdown bubble(s) in steady flow were measured quantitatively. The overall experimental results in the steady flow were in excellent agreement with Escudier’s data. In unsteady flow, the amplitude and time period of periodic axial oscillation, and the polar angle and time period of precession, were measured. The domains for periodic axial oscillation and for precession in unsteady flow were delineated.

The article is devoted to the problem of propagation of weakly nonlinear wave-packets along contact surfaces in a three-layer hydrodynamic system "half space – layer – layer with rigid lid". The condition of solvability of the problem in the third-order approximation is obtained, the evolution equation is derived in the form of a nonlinear Schrodinger equation and the modulation stability condition for its solutions is obtained. The stability diagram and its analysis are presented for the solution which takes place in the case of the balance between dispersion and non-linearity.
