In this paper, a compliant tool was designed for abrade polishing parts with surface of revolution on general NC lathe. The tool can adapt itself automatically to the part’s surface. A magnetorheological torque servo driver (MRT) was developed to control independently the polishing force between the tool and the surface which determines the contact pressure and affects the polishing quality. The models of polishing force and contact pressure were established based on Hertz theory. The model of tool head posture was deduced. The impact of tool head posture and position on contact pressure was analyzed. The experiment results verified the validity of the compliant tool and models.

In this paper, a NC compliant abrasive polishing system was developed based on a magnetorheological torque servo (MRT), using a bonnet as the polishing tool. The MRT was uesd to provide a load acting on bonnet tool to produce the polishing force. In order to find the factors affecting the polishing quality, the models of the applied load, polishing force and contact pressure between the bonnet and the part were established based on Hertz theory, and the factors affecting the contact pressure were analyzed. Theoretical analysis indicated that there was a significant effect of the applied load, the initial pressure of the bonnet and the radius of curvature of the part on contact pressure. Experiments were carried out to verify the validity of the models, and experiment results showed that the roughness of the part was improved greatly and the polishing efficiency could be controlled by changing the initial pressure of the bonnet and applied load.

Proper hoof function is vital for equine health and performance. Many musculoskeletal injuries in horses originate from the foot. Most studies performed to date have focused on the forehoof while the hindhoof (HH) has received less attention. Our goal was to examine the influence of routine hoof trimming on HH medio-lateral hoof balance. The objective of this study was to examine force (F), contact pressure (CP), and contact area (CA) at the medial and lateral aspects of the HH to evaluate the impact of routine hoof trimming on HH biomechanics. Clinically sound Arabian horses (n=9) were walked across a calibrated pressure plate before and after routine hoof trimming and the F, CP, and CA at the medial and lateral aspects of the HH were recorded at midstance pre- and post-trimming. The differences between these regions were investigated using a paired T-test. P-values <0.05 were considered significant. Among measured variables, force increased by 25% (P=0.007) and contact pressure increased by 13% (P=0.032) at the medial aspect of the HH after routine hoof trimming. Analysing data from hindlimb hoof-surface interaction in sound horses will allow for a better understanding of imbalances that may lead to pathologies and hindlimb lameness in horses.

The Impact

Noncontacting mechanical seals with various kinds of face surface modifications have established their position in the sealing technique. Over the last few years, a lot of works dedicated to the impact of various surface modifications on the dynamics of working rings have been created. This paper presents model studies regarding relatively unknown noncontacting impulse gas face seals. Here, a mathematical model of impulse gas face seals is developed including the nonlinear Reynolds equation and stator dynamics equations, which were solved simultaneously using numerical methods. An original computer software written in C + + language was developed. A number of numerical tests were conducted and the phenomena occurring in the radial gap during seal operation were analyzed. Final conclusions were drawn and several features were indicated characterizing impulse face seals. It should be emphasized that numerical research on this type of seals has not been published yet. The literature usually presents simplified models for the noncompressible medium, which can be solved with the use of analytical methods.

The Impact

New apparatus is described to simulate a compliant seal interface, allowing the percolation of liquid to be viewed by a fluorescence microscope. A model, based on the boundary element (BE) methodology, is used to provide a theoretical explanation of the observed behavior. The impact of contact pressure, roughness, and surface energy on percolation rates are characterized. For hydrophilic surfaces, percolation will always occur provided a sufficient number of roughness length scales are considered. However, for hydrophobic surfaces, the inlet pressure must overcome the capillary pressure exerted at the minimum channel section before flow can occur.

ABSTRACT High contact pressures applied to soil result in a greater degree of compaction, in addition to promoting other negative effects. The objective of this study was to quantify contact areas by using different methodologies, and pressures of farm equipment employed in production activity and evaluate structural changes caused in a Red Latosol with the presence and absence of straw cover. The design was completely randomized in a factorial scheme of type 4 (tire on front axle, tire on rear axle, tire on a sugarcane wagon and metallic track of sugar cane Harvester) x 2 (presence and absence of straw). The contact area (CA) of the run was obtained by three procedures: analytical measure of the area of an ellipse (CA1); digital measurement of area of an ellipse (CA2); and measurement of real contact area (RCA), with digital resources. The contact pressure was calculated from the ratio of mass of each machine's axle and the contact area of the run. The contact area obtained according to the procedure of the ellipse (CA1 and CA2) is overrated when compared to actual area obtained digitally (RCA). The straw reduces the contact pressure in the soil, due to the deep tire treads and consequently, increased contact area. Areas where the traffic of the machines occurred with soil covered with the presence of straw showed reduced soil resistance to penetration, cone index and pre-consolidation pressure, confirming that the increased contact area produced by straw reduced the pressure applied and the compression power dissipated in the soil.

Soft grasping of random objects in unstructured environments has been a research topic of predilection both in academia and in industry because of its complexity but great practical relevance. However, accurate modeling of soft hands and fingers has proven a difficult challenge to tackle. Focusing on this issue, this article presents a detailed mathematical modeling and performance analysis of parallel grippers equipped with soft fingers taking advantage of the fin ray effect (FRE). The FRE, based on biomimetic principles, is most commonly found in the design of grasping soft fingers, but despite their popularity, finding a convenient model to assess the grasp capabilities of these fingers is challenging. This article aims at solving this issue by providing an analytic tool to better understand and ultimately design this type of soft fingers. First, a kinetostatic model of a general multi-crossbeam finger is established. This model will allow for a fast yet accurate estimation of the contact forces generated when the fingers grasp an arbitrarily shaped object. The obtained mathematical model will be subsequently validated by numerically to ensure the estimations of the overall grasp strength and individual contact forces are indeed accurate. Physical experiments conducted with 3D-printed fingers of the most common architecture of FRE fingers will also be presented and shown to support the proposed model. Finally, the impact of the relative stiffness between different areas of the fingers will be evaluated to provide insight into further refinement and optimization of these fingers.

This research is focused on dynamic performance of water hydraulic single hydraulic prop, the mathematical and AMESim model of single hydraulic prop are established. And the drop hammer is introduced to simulate the impact load of the surrounding rock acting on the prop. The performance parameters of prop retract displacement and cavity pressure are used as the research objects. The working process of single hydraulic prop is reproduced by the simulation. And the influence of safety valve parameters on the support system is analyzed. The results show that: increasing maximal valve core stroke and dead volume or reducing valve damping hole diameter can improve the support performance of the single hydraulic prop. But the influence of equivalent damping has two sides. For support system, decrease damping can improve the support performance, but for the safety valve, reduce the damping make the valve core stability decline. In addition, the pressure overshoot of the optimized system is 18.3%, adjusting time is 0.5s and the retract displacement is 10mm. The dynamic performances meet the technology requirements of the coal mine safety production of China.

Ball And Beam System

The Ball and Beam system is a common didactical plant that presents a complex nonlinear dynamics. This comes from the fact that the ball rolls over the beam, which rotates around its barycenter. In order to deduce the system’s equations, composition of movement must be applied, using a non-inertial reference frame attached to the beam. In the Literature, a common hypothesis is to suppose that the ball rolls without slipping. If a viscous friction is supposed to be present, a simpler situation is obtained, where Lagrangean mechanics can be applied, and no contact force is known. Even then, the dynamics is very nonlinear. However, this model does not include all the relevant phenomena, such as ball’s slipping at higher beam’s inclination angles, dry friction between the ball and the beam, and impacts between: 1) the ball and the ends of the beam, and 2) the beam and the base (ground). These additions to the model impose the necessity to calculate, in a simulation setting, the contact forces, and the Newton’s approach to determine the system’s equations becomes more convenient. Also, discontinuities in the model are introduced, and the simpler mathematical object for model such systems are the differential inclusion systems. In this work, we deduce the Ball and Beam differential inclusion system, including dry friction and the impact between the ball and beam. We also present simulation results for the corresponding differential inclusion system in a typical situation.

Natural gas has recently been proposed as an alternative fuel for transportation in the United States. Refueling infrastructure is the major technological barrier to the market penetration of passenger compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. Currently, there is about one natural gas refueling station every 150 gasoline pumps. Nevertheless, natural gas is widely available in American houses, and thus distributed residential refueling is seen as a viable solution. Generally, residential CNG refueling systems use compressors driven by electric motors. With a potential increase in the number of residential natural gas refueling systems over the next few years, the additional load that this system will introduce on the electric power infrastructure can be significant. In this paper, a system dynamic model of a residential refueling system has been developed and validated against data available in the literature. Ultimately, the model will allow for exploring the impact of residential refueling of CNG vehicles on the electric power infrastructure.
