CHEN Yong-Liang, LIU Shuang, HAN Yao, GU Pei-Hua
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2012, 19(3): 161-165.
Performance characteristics of disc spring will change when there is a little variation of its structure and material parameters,causing a large deviation of its physical life from the design life.Based on the issue that fatigue life of disc springs is affected by uncertainty factors,analytical robust design method was adopted to study the relation between fatigue life and uncertainty factors of hydraulic press head clamping device disc spring;fatigue life robust optimization model of disc spring was established,with minimizing the variance of disc spring fatigue life as objective function,the mean value of disc spring fatigue life equal to expected value as equality constraint,axial force of disc spring group larger than allowed value as inequality constraint;then robust optimization was carried out.Comparing with the design results before optimization,the results after optimization reduce the affection of uncertain factors to disc spring fatigue life as low as possible under performance constraints,and disc spring fatigue life stabilizes nearby the expected value,which improves the efficiency and reliability of the design.

GUO Kong-Hui, SUI Ji-Kui, SONG Xiao-Lin, GUO Yao-Hua, XUE Bing
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2012, 19(3): 174-181.
For the purpose of attenuating the vehicle body lateral vibration,dynamics combined model of highspeed railway vehicle was established by using ADAMS/Rail and Matlab.The onoff and continuous skyhook method applied to lateral damper was simulated based on the combined model.The results show that the switchable skyhook 〖JP2〗method is simple and practical,but it may induce the chatter of the system and the result is inferior to continuous skyhook method.The continuous skyhook method has the better result in attenuating the vibration of the railway vehicle body,whereas,this method require the complicated damper structure and more realtime system.Considering this two methods advantage and shortcoming,the fuzzy skyhook method was put forward which was also based on the combined model.The research show that this method not only has excellent control result,but also can make up the disadvantage of the two methods mentioned above.

XIAO Chuang, YIN Zhi-Hong
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2012, 19(3): 182-186.
In order to investigate the mechanism and stability of caster wheel shimmy,2DoFs dynamic model of lever propulsion wheelchair steering wheel was established by analytical mechanics.This dynamic model was derived from Lagrange equation and its numerical solutions were solved by Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) method.A new physical steering wheel model with adjustable parameters was built to verify the mathematical model.In the experimental stage,the theoretical results obtained from mathematical model as well as the dynamic behavior of towed wheel within different cases were successfully verified by vibration measurements.Stability analysis was conducted by Routh criterion on a linear dynamic model.To avoid the shimmy in the design stage,the genetic algorithm was applied to optimization design of the steering wheel system.Shimmy can be avoided after replacing a damped bearing with a set of reasonable parameters.Based on the stability analysis and optimization design conclusions,the shimmy problem of physical steering wheel has been solved.To avoid and eliminate shimmy,some practical suggestions are offered due to the effects of system parameters on shimmy,for instance,increasing length of the trail,applying a damped bearing and adopting reasonable parameters of geometry and mass.Therefore,the presented method is of good practical engineering value,and it also has a certain useful value for similar steering wheel system stability analysis.

QIU Ke, HE Jun, ZHANG Xiao-Ni, DONG Xing-Jian, ZHAO Yong-Jie
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2012, 19(3): 187-191.
The process of building the virtual prototyping and the dynamic analysis of a kind of actuated redundantly parallel seismic simulator was carried out by using the solid modeling software SolidWorks and the multibody dynamics software ADAMS . The virtual prototyping was built by virtue of SolidWorks and ADAMS . Then the position, the velocity, the acceleration of the sliders, the driving torque and power were calculated when the motion of the moving platform was defined in ADAMS . Finally, the required output work was also achieved by means of PostProcessor. The simulation results show that the maximal driving torque, the maximal driving power and the output work of the 3rd motor are biggest among all the motors according to the given trajectory. The whole process reveals the advantages of the virtual prototyping technique since it not only reduces the work of complex modeling and programming, but also completes the dynamic analysis of the parallel seismic simulator rapidly for the building of the prototype.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2012, 19(3): 203-207.
The traditional method used for solving the problem of the inverse kinematics of manipulator not only needs a large amount of calculation, but also has problem of many answers to the inverse kinematics question, it is very difficult to be used for the real time control of mechanical arm.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2012, 19(3): 208-212.
In order to solve the problem of the multidimensional vibration that the traditional tea sieving machine cannot complete the multidimensional vibration,a new thought about multidimensional vibrating parallel mechanism tea sieving machine which could satisfy the needs of tea screening was proposed.Based on the parallel mechanism composition principles,the main body mechanism of tea sieving machine was designed.This parallel mechanism contained three C-R-R chains which were vertical to each other in space.D-H matrix was applied to establish the kinematical model,and the kinematical positive and inverse solutions were presented.The result showed that the moving platform could get the ideal motion,and this parallel mechanism could be applied to the tea sieving machine.The virtual prototype of this mechanism was built by using Pro/E,and the model was added with kinematical pairs and imported to ADAMS software with Mech/Pro to complete kinematical simulation.The result of simulation proved the correction of the kinematical positive and inverse solution.Finally the test shows that the X,Y,Z three directions of vibration shorten the time through the sieve and can get the best sieving performance.
