low pumps have been developed for classical applications in Engineering and medicine. They are vital instruments in areas such as Biology where the applications demand many such devices in miniaturized form to handle life saving fluids and drugs. The aim of this paper is to develop a new bio-mimic fluid pump, designed to achieve miniaturization in its size and volume. A new actuation technique is proposed which pumps the fluid based on the principle of flow due to pressure difference created by varying the cross-section of a flexible tube. The novelty and advantage being, no external pressurizing device is needed and the flow can be made bidirectional. This is in general not possible in normal or traditional pumps. Use of SMA wires as actuators helps in keeping the size and weight of the device as low as possible. The working principle of the device and the conceptual design are discussed. Mathematical model, relating the flow parameters required for controlling the device, and analytical results obtained from such relations are presented.

With the increasing of the number of cars, people are also getting higher and higher demands on the performance of the car, and especially pay attention to the improvement and optimization of automobile transmission system. The transmission is a key part of automobile transmission system, and transmission performance and stability depend on the synchronous machine, so in order to make the vehicle transmission system with higher efficiency, it is necessary to study the synchronous machine. On the basis of elaborating synchronous machine working principle, the use of dynamics theory to establish mathematical model of synchronous machine system, and to carry out the simulation of synchronous machine three-dimensional model in PRO/E environment, then the use of virtual prototype technology to optimize the parameters of synchronous machine, thereby improving the performance of synchronous machine.

The paper reviews and develops the mathematical model of plastic flow during the hot-forming processes. A flat non-stationary temperature problem for a cross-section of a long solid (rolled product) of arbitrary shape with different heat transfer conditions along the perimeter of the cross-section was considered. Equations for calculation of the thermal conductivity coefficient and heat capacity of tungsten billets were obtained in the temperature range of 700 - 1500°C, based on the literature data. Analytical dependences in form of regression equations were obtained, allowing for computer calculations of physical specifications of 11x11 mm VA grade tungsten billets in form of temperature functions with accuracy sufficient for practical calculations.

The Gibson method utilizes the effect of water hammer phenomenon (hydraulic transients) in a pipeline for flow rate determination. The method consists in measuring a static pressure difference, which occurs between two cross-sections of the pipeline as a result of a temporal change of momentum from t0 to t1. This condition is induced when the water flow in the pipeline is stopped suddenly using a cut-off device. The flow rate is determined by integrating, within a proper time interval, the measured pressure difference change caused by the water hammer (inertia effect). However, several observations demonstrate that changes of pipeline geometry like diameter change, bifurcations, or direction shift by elbows may produce an effect on the computation of the flow rate. The paper focuses on this effect. Computational simulations have shown that the boundary layer separates when the flow faces sudden changes like these mentioned to above. The separation may reduce the effective cross section area of flow modifying a geometry factor involved into the computation of the flow rate. The remainder is directed to quantify the magnitude of such a factor under the influence of pipeline geometry changes. Results of numerical computations are discussed on the basis of how cross section reductions impact on the geometry factor magnitude and consequently on the mass flow rate.

Abstract This paper investigates robust control problem of structural vibrations using shape memory alloy (SMA) wires as actuators. The mathematical model for these SMA actuators is derived with emphasis in model uncertainty. The linearization of the relation between stress and temperature dynamics of SMA actuators is analyzed for active control. To handle the uncertainties caused by the linearization and the neglected high frequency dynamics, optimal H∞ control was employed to design a controller. An example is used to demonstrate the design procedures and the control system is tested in a nonlinear environment.

This paper has established a two-dimensional (2D) mathematical model for the generation, growth, and deposition of cigarette total particulate matter (TPM) in the smoldering state. The model has covered the chemical reactions and mass transfer as well as the mechanism of generation, flow, and condensation of particulate matter inside a burning cigarette. Cigarette smoke was generated by puffing under a constant pressure, and the pressure of the filter outlet was −274 Pa. The peak of the concentration of particulate matter was spatially overlapped with the peaks of pyrolysis and oxidation. Pertaining to the cross section of the cigarette at the same axial position, the peak of the diameter of particulate matter along the radial distribution first appeared in the zone near the edge of the cigarette cross section, and then gradually moved to the center of the cigarette with the cigarette smoke moving away from the combustion cone. The maximum number density of particulate matter calculated by the 2D mathematical model at the same axial position of the cigarette and the corresponding particle diameter, as well as the filtration efficiency of the filter rod, are in good accordance with the experimental data reported in previous studies.

Aiming at the LCL bi-directional power topology proposed, its working principle is introduced in detail, and the AC impedance model and mathematical model of the system are established. On this basis, the feasibility is verified by using the simulation experiment results.

In this paper, the working principle of the grating measurement system is combined with the Fourier analysis method of Moiré fringe to establish the mathematical model of the grating signal Lissajous figure to know the quality of the grating signal intuitively. The Mathematica numerical analysis software is used to obtain the graphics of the model, and the correctness of the relationship between the parameters of the grating measurement system and the Lissajous figure equation of the grating signal is verified. The influence of the grating pair angle α on the output voltage signal and Lissajous figure of the grating measurement system is studied. The results show that the intensity of the two-phase output electrical signal decreases gradually with the increase of the deviation of the angle α of the grating pair, but the equal-amplitude of the two-phase output electrical signal does not change; Meanwhile, the shape of the grating signal Lissajous figure gradually changes from the ideal circle to the non-ideal ellipse, until a straight line with a strip slope of 135° is formed.
