In this paper, the ram of boring and milling machining center is taken as the research object. A new method that hydraulic pull rods compensation is proposed to solve the problem of deformation compensation of long stroke ram of boring and milling machining center. Firstly, the method of finite element analysis is used to get the laws of ram deformation and the relationship curve between the ram deformation and the stroke of ram. Secondly, the preliminary calculation value of pull rods compensation force is derived based on the theoretical analysis of material mechanics. The relationship curve between compensation force and the stroke of ram is obtained by finite element analysis and polynomial least squares method.

Abstract How to enlarge the output displacement is a key issue in the research field of microgrippers. It is difficult to further enlarge the output displacement for the traditional displacement transmission mechanism (DTM). In this research, a two-stage amplification cylinder-driven DTM based on the compliant mechanisms is designed to realize the displacement output expansion. The opening and closing of the clamping jaws is driven by the air cylinder to enlarge the output displacement of the microgripper. According to the analysis of statics model of the mechanism, the relationship between the output displacement of the microgripper and the driving pressure of the cylinder is established. The magnification of the microgripper is obtained using a dynamic model. Moreover, based on the finite element analysis, the mechanical structure parameters are optimized. The microgripper was fabricated by utilizing wire electro discharge machining (WEDM) technique, and then a series of experiments were carried out to obtain the relationship between the displacement and the driving pressure. It is found that the maximum output displacement measured is 1190.4μm under the pressure of 0-0.6 Mpa, corresponding to the magnification of 47.63. Compared with the results of finite element analysis and theoretical calculation, the test results have a discrepancy of 2.39% and 6.62%, respectively. The microgripper has successfully grasped a variety of micro-parts with irregular shapes, and parallel grasping can be achieved, demonstrating the potential application of this design in the field of micromanipulation.

The three-dimensional models of the Working-roll of Carder are founded by three-dimensional design software Solidworks and the working process of Working-rolls is simulated by finite element analysis software Cosmos, which obtain overall stress distribution for the Working-roll of Carder. The relations between the working-rolls with different thickness and different length of work roll axis and the stress, strain and radial displacement in the working process of working-rolls are attained by finite element analysis and the important factors of impact of work roll deformation are indicated by analog simulation. The results show that the maximum stress and maximum strain are occur in the place of roller connected with the axis rather than to appear in the middle part of roller and the radial displacement in the working process of working-rolls and the length of work roll axis are not directly relationship. The Finite element analysis results provide an important theoretical basis to design a reasonable the length of axis and the thickness of roller for the working-roll of carder.

Edge chipping is one of the most serious issues during machining process of brittle materials. To find an effective method to reduce edge chipping, the relationship between the distribution of maximum principal stress and edge chipping is studied comprehensively based on 3D finite element analysis (FEA) model of in-process workpiece structure in this paper. Three-level influencing factors of edge chipping are proposed, which are helpful to understand the relationship between intuitive machining parameters and edge chipping at different levels. Based on the analysis, several experiments are designed and conducted for drilling and slotting to study the strategy of controlling edge chipping. Two methods are adopted: (a) adding additional support, (b) improving tool path. The result show that edge chipping can be reduced effectively by optimizing the distribution of the maximum principal stress during the machining process. Further, adding addtitional support method is extended to more complex parts and also obtain a good result. Finally, how to use adding additional support method, especially for complex parts, will be discussed in detail. Several open questions are raised for future research.

The Relationship

Imperfections introduced by pipelay can not be known until installation is complete; therefore a common approach is to perform finite element analysis of idealised horizontal imperfections to determine critical buckling forces. Rundsag et al 2008 [1], showed that the critical buckling force for a snake lay geometry is directly proportional to the pipeline bend radius. Rathbone et al 2008 [2] showed that, with decreasing arch lengths, the pipeline critical buckling force is proportional to the change in the offset angle. This paper looks at the relationship between the minimum critical buckling force and the horizontal offset angle of the pipeline, considering an Euler buckling approach. The resulting relationship that estimates the critical buckle load based on pipeline stiffness and weight, offset angle and friction factor is then compared against idealised finite element models.

The Relationship

A series of simplified rod-fastened rotors, which have different surface contact roughness are manufactured and their modal parameters under different pretightening force, are measured in free-free state. The concept of surface contact stiffness is introduced to simulate the influence of pretightening force on modal parameters of these simplified rod-fastened rotors using finite element method. The experiment measured results are compared and fitted to the finite element analysis results and the relationship between contact stiffness and contact stress is established in which the contact stress is defined by the pretightening force. The relationship is then applied on the modal analysis of a real gas turbine rotor, and its modal test results and finite element analysis results are consistent with each other, proving that the relationship and the described determination method of contact stiffness based on modal test and finite element analysis are effective.
