 The close cooperation of mechanics, electronics, control engineering and software contains considerable chances of succsess for mechanical engineering and corresponding branches. On the one hand the cost-benefit ration of known products can grow considerably. On the other hand completely new products become possible. The following paper presents the basics of a new method specifying principle solutions of mechatronic systems in an integrated semi-formal manner according to [1]. Thus an important presupposition for the coorperation of the technical domains involved is established in the early stage“conceptional design”of the design process.

 Three kinds of variational geometric constraints (VGCs) are presented based on TTRS theory. On the basis of the assembly information in CAD, mate tree is uniquely defined. The properties of mate tree are analyzed. Mate trees are linked by cross-referenced VGC to generate loop circuit (LC). Based on mate tree, the generation scheme of loop circuit and 3D assembly tolerance chains is put forth. A simple example is analyzed to show the scheme to be effective.

 As usual, the numerical computation of structural reanalysis is the main task in the optimal procedure of the structures. The number of structural reanalysis should be reduced to raise optimum efficiency, which is achieved by a approximate reanalysis method named“behaviour model technique”. The method makes the number of structural reanalysis to be linear with the design variables. In addition, the thickness distribution of thin plate optimization, offered in other researches, is of stepped shape, not smoothed. In this paper, the continuous thickness distribution can be obtained after optimization by use of virtual laminated element, as is more reasonable. The following classical examples will be offered to demonstrate the efficiency and practicality of the method presented.

Abstract( 661 )   HTML( 1 )     PDF(278KB)( 1187 )
 We investigated the impact of interaction of downstream rotor blade row with upstream guided vane row, i.e., interactions of wake and potential flow field, in a single stage axial flow compressor, on vibrations of rotor blades due to the unsteady flow induced by the interaction. With the help of FEM, numerical simulations have been carried out with some correlated factors, such as the geometry of vane profile, the number of guided vanes and so on, in affecting dynamic stress distributions in the rotor blades. An approximate method was given out to compute unsteady flow forces, acting on the rotor blades for compressor designers. Finally, dynamic stress distribution diagrams were illustrated for an example case. The comparison between the computed results and the measurement qualitatively came closer. Some useful conclusions have been obtained.

“Graphical Representation of Program”is a technique of great potentiality and application. It has been under wide research internationally for the purpose of improving the readability of programs. the SI-NS diagram, is both diagram and program. It enjoys more advantages comparing with the PAD of Japan, NS of Germany and CSD of the United States, and has been validated during long term of software development and education. I hope this technique will draw the attention and recognition from the software and other relative fields at home and abroad.
