Differential Relationship

Due to the quasi-zero-stiffness and overload protection characteristics, constant-force mechanisms can be widely used in nonlinear vibration control, high-efficiency shock isolation, and other engineering fields. As a preparatory work for the further applications, this paper presents a cam-based constant-force compression mechanism and validates the quasi-static characteristics experimentally. By employing the friction considered profile identification method to design the cam and through the interaction between the cam and spring-sliders, the constant-force compression mechanism can passively output the desired constant force over a sufficiently large displacement. The design theory is firstly introduced in detail. Through establishing and solving the differential relationship between the lateral elastic force and vertical constant force, the constant-force compression mechanism under various frictional conditions can be designed. Then, constant-force compression mechanism prototypes corresponding to sliding and rolling friction are designed, fabricated and tested respectively. The results show that both the prototypes have the satisfactory characteristics as with the design requirements. Moreover, the relative generality and stronger engineering applicability of the proposed friction considered profile identification method are proved since it can not only cover the frictionless (micro-friction) cases, but keep the constant-force behavior of the constant-force compression mechanism under the nonignorable friction conditions. Therefore, compared with the existing cam-roller constant-force mechanisms that must ensure the ignoring micro-friction demand, the presented constant-force compression mechanism taking friction into consideration has important engineering significance since it can reduce this machining requirement.

The structural properties of the silicate garnets andradite, Ca3Fe2Si3O12, uvarovite, Ca3Cr2Si3O12, knorringite, Mg3Cr2Si3O12, goldmanite, Ca3V2Si3O12, blythite, Mn^{2+}_3Mn^{3+}_2Si3O12, skiagite, Fe^{2+}_3Fe^{3+}_2Si3O12, calderite, Mn^{2+}_3Fe^{3+}_2Si3O12, and khoharite, Mg3Fe^{3+}_2Si3O12, have been investigated with a quantum-mechanical model as a function of applied pressure. The study has been performed with the density functional theory code CASTEP, which uses pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis set. All structural parameters have been optimized. The calculated static geometries (cell parameters, internal coordinates of atoms and bond lengths), bulk moduli and their pressure derivatives are in good agreement with the experimental data available. Predictions are made for those cases where no experimental data have been reported. The data clearly indicate that the elastic properties of all silicate garnets are dominated by the compressibility of the dodecahedral site. The compression mechanism is found to be based on a bending of the angle between the centers of the SiO4 tetrahedra and the adjacent octahedra, as in the aluminosilicate garnets. An analysis of the relationship between ionic radii of the cations and the compressibility of silicate garnets is presented.

Abstract The compression mechanism in this type of blower is produced by the action of two three-lobe rotors. In this paper the functioning of this kind of blower is analyzed in detail for both the helical and spur rotor types. The analysis allows us to point out specific problems regarding trapped volumes and to design special devices to avoid these problems. The complete dynamics of the loads is determined on this basis, and the performances achieved by helical and spur rotors are compared.
