Chain drive is one of the most commonly used mechanical devices in the main equipment transmission system. In the past decade, scholars focused on basic performance research, but ignore its best performance. In this study, due to the large vibration of the chain drive in the transmission system, the vibration performance and optimization parameters are also considered as a new method to design the chain drive system to obtain the best performance of the chain drive system. This article proposes a new method and takes a chain drive design as a case based on the multidisciplinary design optimization. The system optimization objective and sub-systems are established by the multidisciplinary design optimization method. To obtain the best performance for the chain, the chain drive is executed by an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm. Dynamic characteristics of the chain drive system are simulated based on the multidisciplinary design optimization results. The impact force of the chain links, vibration displacement, and the vibration frequency are analyzed. The results show that the kinematics principle of the chain drive and the optimal parameter value are obtained based on the multidisciplinary design optimization method.

This paper studies the effect of contact areas on the transient response of mechanical structures. Precisely, it investigates replacing the ordinary beam of a structure by two beams of half the thickness, which are joined by bolts. The response of these beams is controlled by adjusting the tightening of the connecting bolts and hence changing the magnitude of the induced frictional force between the two beams which affect the beams damping capacity. A cantilever of two beams joined together by bolts has been investigated numerically and experimentally. The numerical analysis was performed using ANSYS-Workbench version 17.2. A good agreement between the numerical and experimental results has been obtained. In general, results showed that the two beams vibrate independently when the bolts were loosed and the structure stiffness is about 20 N/m and the damping ratio is about 0.008. With increasing the bolts tightening, the stiffness and the damping ratio of the structure were also increased till they reach their maximum values when the tightening force equals to 8330 N, where the structure now has stiffness equals to 88 N/m and the damping ratio is about 0.062. Beyond this force value, increasing the bolts tightening has no effect on stiffness of the structure while the damping ratio is decreased until it returned to 0.008 when the bolts tightening becomes immense and the beams behave as one beam of double thickness.

Stator Design

A piezoelectric actuator using a lever mechanism is designed, fabricated, and tested with the aim of accomplishing long-travel precision linear driving based on the stick-slip principle. The proposed actuator mainly consists of a stator, an adjustment mechanism, a preload mechanism, a base, and a linear guide. The stator design, comprising a piezoelectric stack and a lever mechanism with a long hinge used to increase the displacement of the driving foot, is described. A simplified model of the stator is created. Its design parameters are determined by an analytical model and confirmed using the finite element method. In a series of experiments, a laser displacement sensor is employed to measure the displacement responses of the actuator under the application of different driving signals. The experiment results demonstrate that the velocity of the actuator rises from 0.05 mm/s to 1.8 mm/s with the frequency increasing from 30 Hz to 150 Hz and the voltage increasing from 30 V to 150 V. It is shown that the minimum step distance of the actuator is 0.875 μm. The proposed actuator features large stroke, a simple structure, fast response, and high resolution.

An original poling method using purely optical means and based on a dual-frequency interference process is presented. We show that the coherent superposition of two beams at fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies results in a polar field with an irreducible rotational spectrum containing both a vector and an octupolar component. This enables the method to be applied even to molecules without a permanent dipole such as octupolar molecules. After a theoretical analysis of the process, we describe different experiments aiming at light-induced noncentrosymmetry performed respectively on one-dimensional Disperse Red 1 and octupolar Ethyl Violet molecules. Macroscopic octupolar patterning of the induced order is demonstrated in both transient and permanent regimes. Experimental results show good agreement with theory.

The droplet deformation in dispersing units of high-pressure homogenizers (HPH) is examined experimentally and numerically. Due to the small size of common homogenizer nozzles, the visual analysis of the transient droplet generation is usually not possible. Therefore, a scaled setup was used. The droplet deformation was determined quantitatively by using a shadow imaging technique. It is shown that the influence of transient stresses on the droplets caused by laminar extensional flow upstream the orifice is highly relevant for the droplet breakup behind the nozzle. Classical approaches based on an equilibrium assumption on the other side are not adequate to explain the observed droplet distributions. Based on the experimental results, a relationship from the literature with numerical simulations adopting different models are used to determine the transient droplet deformation during transition through orifices. It is shown that numerical and experimental results are in fairly good agreement at limited settings. It can be concluded that a scaled apparatus is well suited to estimate the transient droplet formation up to the outlet of the orifice.

Biomimetic robotic fish systems have attracted huge attention due to the advantages of flexibility and adaptability. They are typically complex systems that involve many disciplines. The design of robotic fish is a multi-objective multidisciplinary design optimization problem. However, the research on the design optimization of robotic fish is rare. In this paper, by combining an efficient multidisciplinary design optimization approach and a novel multi-objective optimization algorithm, a multi-objective multidisciplinary design optimization (MMDO) strategy named IDF-DMOEOA is proposed for the conceptual design of a three-joint robotic fish system. In the proposed IDF-DMOEOA strategy, the individual discipline feasible (IDF) approach is adopted. A novel multi-objective optimization algorithm, disruption-based multi-objective equilibrium optimization algorithm (DMOEOA), is utilized as the optimizer. The proposed MMDO strategy is first applied to the design optimization of the robotic fish system, and the robotic fish system is decomposed into four disciplines: hydrodynamics, propulsion, weight and equilibrium, and energy. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is employed to predict the robotic fish’s hydrodynamics characteristics, and the backpropagation neural network is adopted as the surrogate model to reduce the CFD method’s computational expense. The optimization results indicate that the optimized robotic fish shows better performance than the initial design, proving the proposed IDF-DMOEOA strategy’s effectiveness.

In the tooling design of autobody cover panels, design of drawbead will affect the distribution of drawing restraining force along mouth of dies and the relative flowing velocity of the blank, and consequently, will affect the distributions of strain and thickness in a formed part. Therefore, reasonable design of drawbead is the key point of cover panels’ forming quality. An optimization design method of drawbead, using one improved hybrid optimization algorithm combined with FEM software, is proposed in this paper. First, we used this method to design the distribution of drawbead restraining force along the mouth of a die, then the actual type and geometrical parameters of drawbead could be obtained according to an improved drawbead restraining force model and the improved hybrid optimization algorithm. This optimization method of drawbead was used in designing drawing tools of an actual autobody cover panel, and an optimized drawbead design plan has been obtained, by which deformation redundancy was increased from 0% under uniform drawbead control to 10%. Plastic strain of all area of formed part was larger than 2% and the minimum flange width was larger than 10 mm. Therefore, not only better formability and high dent resistance were obtained, but also fine cutting contour line and high assembly quality could be obtained. An actual drawing part has been formed using the optimized drawbead, and the experimental results were compared with the simulating results in order to verify the validity of the optimized design plan. Good agreement of thickness on critical areas between experimental results and simulation results proves that the optimization design method of drawbead could be successfully applied in designing actual tools of autobody cover panels.
