ZHANG Yong-Hua, HE Jian-Hui, YAN Qin
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(3): 167-173.
For the purpose of automatic environment monitoring, resource detecting and military reconnoitering by using robotic fish, we selected crucian which concentrated high efficiency, high maneuverability and high stability as bionic object. Through principle of biomimetic engineering, we developed a biorobotic crucian model based on morphology, skeleton structure and kinematics of the crucian species. Meanwhile, a detailed analysis was provided on the design principle, the kinematic equation was built, and experiments were conducted to investigate the influences of kinematic parameters including the frequency, the amplitude, the wave length and the phase difference on velocity. From the experiments, the fish was able to generate enough thrust in static water conditions to propel itself. The propulsion speed increases with frequency, and reaches its maximum value 0.48 BL/s at 1.58 Hz, then decreases with frequency; the propulsion speed also increases with amplitude, and reaches its maximum value 0.43 BL/s at 6.3 cm, then slightly decreases; the propulsion speed always increases with wavelength in our experiment; finally, the propulsion speed increases with the phase difference, and reaches its maximum value 0.35 BL/s at 78°, then decreases. The research results provide valuable theoretical and experimental references for developing high performance bionic underwater propulsors in future.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(3): 197-203.
Large number of apertures and slots are usually inevitably presented in actual enclosure of electronic equipment due to heat dissipation purpose. However, the penetration of electromagnetic energy leaking though apertures, especially slots, will compromise the shielding performance remarkably. Then, a metallic rectangular enclosure with slots was studied, and the influence of polarization mode and angles of incidence plane wave, parameters of slots such as length, quantity, location, space and orientation on the shielding performance of the enclosure were investigated by the transmission\|line matrix method(TLM). Finally, the main factors determining the shielding performance of the enclosure were proposed. The polarization mode of plane wave, length and orientation of slots has significant influence on the shielding effectiveness and resonance points of the enclosure. The electric field orientation of incidence wave should avoid being vertical with longer sides of slots, and slots shouldn't be lengthy in structure shielding design.

CHEN Xiao-Ran, ZHANG Lin-Ke, YAN Zhao-Li, CHEN Jie, CHENG Xiao-Bin
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(3): 214-217.
Cavitation phenomena is one of the principal factors which compromise the life\|span and performance of the fluid machinery. A novel method named active ultrasonic detection was proposed, which emitted a high frequency carrier wave to the area round cavitation district with transmission method. The fluid motion would exert an influence on the high frequency carrier wave, which induced that the fluid field information was modulated on the ultrasonic carrier wave, so the fluid field information could be gained through the demodulation of the ultrasonic carrier signal. Based on the experimental dataset from shaft flow pump in different flow rates, combining high speed photography verifying method, a pattern classifier based on support vector machine was set up to achive the active ultrasonic detection of the pump cavitation. This method can detect the new born cavitation accurately, and supply the relevant alarm, to avoid the further development of cavitation.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(3): 222-227.
The principle of a wireless power transmission(WPT) and the basic constitutions of the capsule micro-electro-mechanical systems(MEMS) were introduced. Then, based on a loosely coupling transformer, the WPT system of the capsule MEMS were designed. The secondary receiving windings composed of two orthogonal coils received power after experiment research. The results show that regardless of the capsule location, the secondary can receive effective power, up to 110-240 mW. At last the luminous capsule model prototype was made, and the luminous capsule can work by WPT. It shows the WPT system is feasible.

The research and application of attribute listing technique in air condition design
WU Yan-Fang, WANG Jun-Feng
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2011, 18(3): 228-232.
The attribute listing technique, one of effective creativity techniques, is not utilized properly in the product design. In view of the phenomenon of analyzing attribute superficially, the three kinds of characteristics of product were analyzed deeply and classified in detail respectively. Details and relevance were emphasized in attributes of noun. An ulterior step was taken to divide the adjective into character attribute and state attribute, and verb attribute into use function and use action. Then design analysis and development surrounding the three kinds of characteristics with an object of vertical air conditioner were carried out. As a result, the technique enhances the design innovating efficiency in terms of form, construct, operation mode and human-machine interaction. The process illuminated how the attribute listing technique was used and what should be emphasized in design process. The result shows the validity of the new method in product creative design.
