Straightness Error

Straightness error is the main profile error of guide rail. This paper studies a scanning six-probe system for measuring straightness of two guide rails. The system does not use angle sensors and consists of two probe-units, each having three displacement sensors. The two probe-units are moved by a scanning stage to scan the surface of two guide rails, then they are rotated 180 and scan guide rails again after the first scanning. The zero-differences of two probe-units before and after probe-units being rotated, as well as the straightness of the guide rails, can be accurately evaluated from the outputs of the displacement sensors in two scanning process. The effectiveness of this method is confirmed by computer simulation and experimental results in the case of two probe-units having different zero-differences before and after probe-units being rotated.

Error Motion

In the straightness profile measurement of a mechanical workpiece, hardware datums have been the traditional standard. However, when the straightness profile is measured using a scanning displacement sensor set on an X-stage as the hardware datums, output of a displacement sensor includes the signal of straightness profile and the sensor’s parasitic motion, i.e. straightness error motion. Then, error separation techniques of the straightness profile from parasitic motions have been developed. For example, two-point method uses two displacement sensors and separates the sensor’s straightness error motion from the straightness profile. However, the conventional two-point method cannot measure a large-scale workpiece because the large sampling number causes random error amplification. In this article, the influence of the random error of generalized two-point method is shown. As the result of the theoretical analysis and numerical analysis, random error propagation decrease when sampling number increase. Further, experimental results obtained by generalized two-point method with large sampling number are analyzed using Wavelet transform and influence of error of the generalized two-point method is discussed in the space-spatial frequency domain.

Experimental results obtained from cascades and one stage compressor performance tests before and after erosion were used to test a fault model to represent erosion. This model was implemented on a stage stacking program developed to demonstrate the effect of erosion in a multistage compressor. The effect of the individual stage erosion on the overall compressor performance is also demonstrated.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we compare B diffusion in epitaxial Si, Si with 0.1%C, SiGe with 11% Ge and SiGe:C with 11%Ge and 0.1%C at 1000°C under interstitial, vacancy and non-injection annealing conditions. Diffusion coefficients of B in each material were extracted by computer simulation, using secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) profiles obtained from samples before and after annealing.Interstitial injection enhances B diffusion considerably in all materials compared to inert annealing. In samples which experienced vacancy injection, B diffusion was suppressed. The results are consistent with the view that B diffusion in these materials occurs primarily via interstitialcy type defects.

Refining Processes

Boron (B) removal by slag refining using CaO–SiO2–CaCl2 was investigated in metallurgical-grade silicon (MG-Si) and 75 wt% Si–Sn alloy. Experiments were conducted at 1500 °C for 15 min. The microstructure was characterized before and after refining. The effects of acid leaching, basicity, and slag/Si mass ratio on B removal were investigated. Experimental results showed that acid leaching had no effect on B removal from MG-Si but had a clear effect on the refined Si–Sn alloy after slag refining. The final B concentration was highly affected by the CaO/SiO2 mass ratio with minimum value, where the content of B was reduced from 18.36 ppmw to 5.5 ppmw at the CaO/SiO2 = 1.2 for MG-Si slag refining and from 18.36 ppmw to 3.7 ppmw at CaO/SiO2 = 1.5 for 75 wt% Si–Sn alloy. Increasing the slag mass ratio by 2:1 mass ratio also increased B removal efficiency by approximately 15–20% more than an increase by 1:1.

This paper presents the design and development of an efficient modular ‘Computer Simulation Model (CSM)’ for response analysis of a moored semi-submersible. The computer simulation model is designed in two split models (i.e. computational and experimental models) and each of these models consists of various modules. The modules are developed from basic governing equations related to motion and modules are integrated and we aim for a seamless integration. The moored semi-submersible is represented mathematically as six degrees of freedom dynamic system and the coupling effects between the structure and mooring lines are considered. The basic geometric configuration of semi- submersible is modelled and analyzed for stability computations in MS-Excel*TM and then the basic governing equations related to motion are modelled mathematically in a module and solved numerically with Ansys-AQWA**TM. The computational model is validated and verified with some available experimental results. The CSM is utilized to study the surge and sway responses with respect to the horizontal range of mooring lines and our results show good validation with the existing experimental results. Our presented results show that the fibre wires have minimum steady state response in surge and sway degrees of freedom as compared with the steel wires. However, they have large drift as compared with steel wires. Finally, we show that the computer simulation model can help in detailed analysis of responses and results can be utilized for design and development of new age semi-submersibles for optimum performances for a given set of parameters.

Suction Cups

This paper proposes a pressing method for wall-climbing robots to prevent them from falling. In order to realize the method, the properties of the utilized suction cup are studied experimentally. Then based on the results, a guide rail is designed to distribute the attached suction cup force and implement the pressing method. A prototype of a wall-climbing robot that utilizes passive suction cups and one motor is used to demonstrate the proposed method. An experimental test-bed is designed to measure the force changes of the suction cup when the robot climbs upwards. The experimental results validate that the suction cup can completely attach to the surface by the proposed method, and demonstrate that the robot can climb upwards without falling.
