The harmonic gear transmission device owns excellent characteristics and it has been used more and more widely in recent years. The reliability model of harmonic gear was established based on the failure mode while taking the various uncertain factors into consideration. According to the theory of reliability and optimal design, the reliability design and genetic algorithm were combined together to do the optimal design. According to stress\|strength interference theory, first\|order second\|moment method was employed to optimize the harmonic gear. Also, we analyzed the influence of design variables on the reliability of the structure using matrix differential technology, and that was the reliability of the sensitivity. The Monte Carlo method was used to verify the results. If the first and second moments are known, the optimal design information of the harmonic gear can be obtained quickly through the computer program. The numerical example shows that the proposed method is practical and effective.

In order to avoid establishing the tedious involute equation, and accurately get the non-involute tooth profile curve of the gear tooth root part namely the dedendum transition curve rather than just make an approximate treatment,meanwhile, effectively simulate the machining process of the gear contour,which can make the parameterized modeling of the gear more convenient and higher precision,the method was as follows: according to the principle of generating method about machining the gear and the simulation of the rack tool machining the gear as the basis,parameterizing the rack system, modifying curves generated by the profile points of the rack tool in Pro/E movement simulation, the accurate gear involute could be obtained. Then the establishment of the gear parametric 3D model was completed. This method can effectively simulate the machining process of the gear contour and realize the gear tooth profile drawn exactly,which avoids the bondage of the involute parameter equation and the programming language, and is novel, practical and easy-to-understand in 3D parametric gear design.

Abstract( 1143 )   HTML( 1 )     PDF(1845KB)( 1162 )
The electromagnetic energy leakage through aperture arrays which were often designed for controlling temperature of avionics was inevitable. The near-field shielding effectiveness must be analyzed when the distance between two avionics was short. The calculation of near-field shielding effectiveness by the HFSS and the other one by the transmission line method was compared. Both the theory analysis and numerical results indicated that the transmission line method was noneffective in the calculation of near-field shielding effectiveness. The effects of some parameters on near-field shielding effectiveness were analyzed thoroughly by the HFSS. Some means for improving near-field shielding effectiveness was presented.

Generally, the empirical equations are frequently used in the traditional design method of air intake system of engine auxiliary system, which leads to the results inaccuracy, sometimes big deviation exists between the empirical data and calculated data. Aiming at this difficult problem, a design method based on CFD (computational fluid dynamics) was proposed. After establishing the threedimensional model and meshing the intake system, RNG(renormalization-group) turbulence model was chosen to establish mathematical model of gas phase. Under some defined appropriate boundary conditions, the gas flow-field in air intake system was simulated by Fluent code. Additionally, in order to take the influence of air filter gauze, the structure of air filter was assumed to porous zone and the distribution of speed and pressures corresponding to the three methods were compared. And the air resistance was chosen as the testing criterion to evaluate the quality of this method. Results show that the second program, whose inlet resistance was least to be the best program. The method provides technological reference for the design of intake system.

Euramerican laws for emission of non-road spark-ignition small engines become more rigorous continuously. Now, the great difference among the nonroad spark-ignition small engines which is made in China of different batches has become the common technology problem in industry. The density of gas mixture exerts a tremendous influence on the emission of engine. Using developmental steady flow test rig for intake and exhaust system of non-road sparkignition small engines, testing the intake and exhaust port in cylinder head, air filter and analyzing the test data, it was gotten that the difference of the flow character about the intake-exhaust system and the product waviness of different batches was the main reason for the change of density of gas mixture and the difference of the emission performance. The result shows that intake and exhaust port of such engines using casting cylinder head are affected largely by the casting technique, and the flow coefficient is low, which makes the engine performance hard to be improved. Improving the flow character of the intake and exhaust system is an important way to optimize the engine performance.

The early warning airborne(EWA) is an important part of air warning detection. It is extraordinary important to plan the route for the EWA. Based on analyzing the differences of route planning for the EWA from other aerocrafts, this paper researched the static route planning for the EWA. Firstly, the static route planning for the EWA was divided into two phases according to the present EWA campaign application pattern and the important factors which influenced the performance of the EWA to surveil targets. Then, after respectively modeling each dominant factor which influenced each phase of route planning, some cost functions were formalized, and the steps and methods of each phase of route planning were designed. The modified algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) was applied to search the route. After simulating under the platform of Matlab, it is proved that the model of this paper designed could automatically plan the EWA route according to the situation of targets distribution.

Abstract( 704 )   HTML( 1 )     PDF(2594KB)( 1290 )
The seismic response of long crossing transmission single tower and tower-line system were systematically studied to find the difference between single tower and tower-line system under multiple support excitation by time history analysis method. The response difference between the single tower and tower-line system was investigated through the max node displacement, torsion, axial force and the base shear force. The results show that the seismic response difference of the single tower and tower-line system is significant, and the difference is relative to the nodes location and apparent wave velocity. So for long crossing transmission tower the the coupling of the tower and line should be considered when it is modeled for seismic analysis under multiple support excitation, otherwise those results will be over\|safety or over-dangerous.
