SU Jian-Ning, WU Yong-Cheng
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2009, 16(5): 331-334.
With the economic development, the product is greatly abundant. However, the similarity of product is also increased. Product form innovation design can effectively enhance product quality, so the method of product shape retrieval and automatic evolvement of product shape design is urgently needed, in which shape descriptor is one of the key technologies. A new method to describe product shape based on polar coordinates and Fourier operator is presented, which includes the following 4 steps. The first step is to pre-process, which can obtain form contour information from product image. The second step is to abstract shape signal, which uses a function to express product form information. The third step is to standardize the signal, which can standardize the sampling point number and the size of different product forms. The fourth step is to do Fourier transform, which can convert the shape signal to the frequency domain to express product form by harmonics operators. The experiment indicates that a certain number of harmonics are sufficient to represent the main shape feature of product shape, which means that the presented method is robust, compact and simple.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2009, 16(5): 344-347.
Pressure control system is one of the most essential and important systems for an aerostat, the engineering design of which may directly relate to its security and capability. The basic pressure control requirement of an aero-boat, as a typical instance of aerostat, was derived according to the stress analysis of envelope material and the requirements of aerodynamic shape-keeping. The construction of the pressure control system and the engineering design of its main parameters were discussed. The regulation capability of the system and its influence on the whole aerostats capability were analyzed from the aspects of regulating-speed and regulating-range. The relationship curve between ballonet-scale and flying-height was provided, which clearly showed the minimum vol. limit of the aerostat according to the designed flyingheight. Moreover, the typical control method of pressure control system was introduced, which was proved effective by autonomous flight experiments of a middle altitude verifying airship. The engineering research on pressure control system of aerostat focuses on its practicality,and is valuable in engineering design.

Research on optimal tilt angle of fixed PV panel
HAN Fei, PAN Yu-Liang, SU Zhong-Xian
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2009, 16(5): 348-453.
To design and optimize an optimal tilt angle, solar radiation, annual optimal tilt angle and seasonal optimal tilt angles of the PV module were calculated through the solar radiation model by Matlab. The seasonal tilt angles of the PV module were optimized after redividing the season span to make the solar radiation of the PV model maximum. According to the local condition of Hangzhou, daily solar radiation at different tilt angles was calculated and analyzed. A large number of experiments conducted by TRM-FD1 type of PV power testing system proved the feasibility of the proposed method. The experiments show that, the PV model at seasonal angle can enhance solar radiation by 11.5% and 4.1% compared to that at level and annual tilt respectively. For the solar radiation of level PV model, the calculated results agree with the measured data well, and the relative error is less than 5%, which is accurate enough for solar energy engineering design and research. Validation result indicates that this model is reasonable and applicable.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2009, 16(5): 354-357.
In order to explore the directional fracture reliability of a composite seal cover, the models of equivalent strength, failure criteria and the 3D finite element were established. The laws of fuze impact stress during the process of fracture damage under fuze backward impact force, changes of seal layer strain energy with seal layer thickness, and the reliability of seal cover due to the interlocking function under the adjacent firedgas streams positive impact with support layer thickness variation were analyzed. The results show that: 1)To meet the requirements of topological self-locking closures fracture orientation, ensure the security and reliability of fuze body, the smaller the seal layer thickness, the better; 2)At the impact of fired-gas streams, with the support layer thickness decreasing, sub-structure support layer closures largest contact stress will be greatly increased and the reliability of self-locking topology may be lowered.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2009, 16(5): 374-378.
Detailed analysis of the mechanism model of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is carried out. On this basis, the simulation tool of Simulink in Matlab was adopted to establish a dynamic model of the PEMFC stack. Through the established dynamic simulation model, the effect of the main operating parameters on the dynamic output performance was analyzed. When current step change occurred, dynamic responses of output voltage, output power, consumed power, stack equivalent resistance and the efficiency of PEMFC stack were simulated. The simulation results are consistent with the data in available literatures. All this indicates that the stack model is correct, workable and effective. The research makes contribution to realtime analysis and dynamic optimization of PEMFC stack and provides help to promote the practical application of PEMFC.
