YANG Yuan, LI Fang, HOU Zhong-Yuan, YANG Lei
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(2): 82-86.
In view of incomplete consideration to maintenance correlation with traditional methods, a new opinion was put forward to judge maintenance correlation in a multi-unit system from four aspects such as time correlated, fault correlated, structure correlated and function correlated. As the degree of maintenance correlation ultimately affects and decides the contents of maintenance combination in a multi-unit system, it was weighed by the optimized effect of maintenance combination in a multi-unit system. On these bases, the correlation degree of multi-component maintenance could be evaluated by using matrix permanent, which takes indicators and the relationship between indicators into account during the process of evaluating multi-component maintenance correlation. The example showed that it could help maintaining workers to judge maintenance correlation and comparing with the correlation degrees of maintenance parts in multi-component system by the analysis and evaluation. Meanwhile, it proposed the optimal maintenance combination through maintenance correlation degrees in a multi-unit system.

ZHAO Nai-Li, TANG Jin-Yuan, GUAN Wen-Fang, CHEN Hai-Feng
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(2): 115-119.
As clearance exists in kinematics pair of clearance contact and collision, the modeling and computation would be very complicated. According to the specific property of kinematics pair, contact forces were divided into three states and damping forces were divided into two states. Based on the analysis the bond graph model was established by introducing the concept of switched power junctions. Taking a geneva mechanism for an example, the bond graph model of the contact pair between roller and ring race was set up and simulated by advanced software 20-sim. Finally, the results, compared with those from ADAMS to check the bond graph model, verity its credibility.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(2): 120-123.
In the development stage of aluminum-alloy wheel, the bending fatigue test is one of the bench tests that must be passed, to which the trial casting wheel on a small batch basis was put. To avoid experiments of blindness, reduce the number of tests, cut down the experiment cost and improve the reliability, the finite element method is applied, which is one of the advanced technologies in design stage. To apply the technology correctly, the effective calculation model must be built to simulate bench tests. Based on the theoretical analysis and practical case, considering the nonlinear contact relations from pretightening of blot and the material of difference between loading bar and wheel, three finite element models of bending fatigue tests were built, such as integral linear elastic model with loading bar and wheel in the same material, the separated linear elastic model with loading bar and wheel in different material, the nonlinear model considering with the affection of contact relations and pretightening force. According to analysis and confrontation, and verification test oriented with the typical wheel, theirs advantages and shortages, stress range and computing reliability were studied; the veracity of models was verified with the test of a typical wheel. The research shows the nonlinear load model is corrected, the linear elastic model can be used to analyze the fatigue of wheel which is easy to be broken near bolt hole, and the same\|different material of loading bar and wheel is less influential on the most equivalent stress, and the nonlinear contact model, considering with the affection of contact relations and pretightening force, was applicable to the analysis of the wheel which is easy to be broken near bolt hole.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(2): 134-138.
In order to realize image processing in the application of surface defects, and replace the traditional way of manual inspection, the authors have developed a metal surface defect detection system to study the nickel-plated hardware online image processing algorithms, including edge detection algorithm, the position correction algorithm, calibration algorithm and detection algorithm, bringing hardware visual surface defect detection into effect. At the same time, the authors proposed a threshold feedback algorithm, and used the actual defect theory of defects in the value of feedback verification, and ultimately got reliable defect threshold to determine surface defects. The detection system can use multi-surface and multi-station movement work piece simultaneous independent detection.

Research on real-time segmentation of micro-vision images with
uneven illumination based on multi-resolution threshold
YANG Ke-Ji, SHAO Quan-Gang
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(2): 139-143.
In order to meet the needs of high-precision and real-time target information extraction from micro-vision images in the micro-nano and biological fields, a kind of real-time segmentation method of micro-vision images with uneven illumination based on multi-resolution threshold was proposed. Because the traditional methods are difficult to estimate the threshold accurately in micro-vision image with uneven illumination and consume too much time, firstly, the energy function of gray intensity distribution was established according to the sparseness property of the gradient probability distribution, and the optimum gray intensity distribution was estimated by applying the iterative re-weighted least squares (IRLS) technique for the purpose of uneven illumination compensation in micro-vision image. Secondly, on the basis of the traditional two-dimension Otsu method, multi-resolution analysis of wavelet transform was employed to reduce effectively the computation of threshold estimation process and improve real-time segmentation of the micro-vision images. Experimental results showed that the proposed method possessed the fast and precise segmentation performance, which was also free of the uneven illumination effect and able to coordinate effectively the contradiction between the accuracy and speed of segmentation.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(2): 144-148.
The waveguide power divider has been widely used in many microwave and millimeter-wave systems as a key element in multiplexer, coupler and antenna feeding system etc. Embarked from the principle of work in rectangular waveguide power divider, the theory and design rules of SIW(substrate integrated waveguide) power dividers was researched by use of SIW's advantages such as high Q-factor and low-cost etc. An X band 4-way SIW power divider was designed, and the measured results show that the returned loss of the power divider is lower than -15 dB from 9.0 GHz to 11.0 GHz, which corresponds to 20% bandwidth. And the measured S21 to S51 in the pass-band fluctuate between -9.0 dB and -7.7 dB, which could meet the design requirements. This power divider can be widely used in microwave circuits, and suitable for mass production because of its low cost and simple structure.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(2): 149-152.
Many fields require a stringent measurement precision of the speed test systems increasingly, and ask a harsher requirement for light curtain speed test system at the same time, which is a kind of common speed test systems. In order to improve the measurement precision of the speed test system based on infrared light screen,a speed test system based on infrared ray-photoelectric switches and NI6220 DAQ was introduced, which may take the place of the traditional DAQ system based on the SCM, and improved the reliability and measuring precision of speed test system. Working principles, structure design and software design based on LABVIEW were introduced,and the system errors also were analyzed. Experimental results prove that this method can ensure the test error in less than 0.0156%,when the speed is slower than 1 000 m/s.
