Slotted waveguide array antenna has the advantages of compact structure,light weight, good performance and so on,and it is often used in airborne radar or missile borne radar.The ran-dom vibration is the main load form of radar and causes the antenna distorted,which affects the radiation gain.At present,the traditional process for calculating the effect of random vibration on the antenna gain is very complicated and consumes more computation time and memory.An e-quivalent method for calculating the effect of random vibration on the antenna gain was proposed by using the root mean square values of the distorted displacement response.It was assumed that the random vibration load was a stationary process of a normal distribution,and the average value of the load was zero.Multiple samples were generated based on the complete correlation between each node.Firstly,the root mean square values of the gains were obtained by the traditional method and the equivalent method.Then,the applicable condition of the equivalent method was deduced by Taylor expansion.Lastly,taking the broad-wall longitudinal slotted arrays in rectan-gular waveguides as an example,the validation of the presented approach was confirmed by using simulation and experiment,and the maximal calculation error was less than 0.1 dB.The study showed that the effect of random vibration on the gain of the antenna could be calculated quickly under certain conditions.This equivalent method greatly improves the computational efficiency and saves computation time.The result has great significance of engineering,and provides a ref-erence to antenna designers.

In order to improve the NVH (noise,vibration and harshness) performance and sound quality of fuel pumps,the pressure fluctuation control of the regenerative pumps for the fuel sys -tem is carried out.The pressure fluctuation characteristics of a regenerative pump were studied by the CFD numerical simulation and theoretical analyses.Two impellers with different degree of uneven blades were designed by the method of random blade distribution.An improved design method of the uneven blade distribution impeller was developed based on the CFD numerical sim -ulation and theoretical analyses.The noise test for the fuel pump of the pressure fluctuation con-trol scheme was conducted to verify the feasibility of the scheme.Results showed that the high-pitched noise disappeared in the high frequency and the NVH performance was improved for the fuel pump with uneven blade distribution impeller compared with even blade distribution impeller.Random uneven blade distribution impeller could significantly disperse the peak value of the blade passing frequency.With the degree of the uneven distribution blades increasing,the amplitudes of blade passing frequencies decreased more.Therefore,the use of random uneven blade distribution method helps to improve pressure fluctuation characteristics of the regenerative pump and to provide an important engineering value for the fuel pump NVH performance improvement.

Abstract( 1237 )   HTML( 1 )     PDF(4385KB)( 1223 )

In view of vibroseis vibrator's key problems of big disturbance and low signal-to-noise ratio in the engineering application and combined with reaction mass movement path tests,the dynamic behavior law of the reaction mass-piston rod was studied through theoretical calculation and numerical simulation.On this basis,vibrator disturbance control was studied and the vertical passageway vibrator was put forward.Then the simulation results were compared with the results of horizontal passageway,and the vertical passageway vibrator disturbance test verification was carried out.The results showed that the reaction mass was driven by the rotation torque around z axis and the piston rod was deformed,which resulted in a point movement path of the reaction mass being a space curve and increased the vibrator disturbance.Therefore,the key reason of large vibrator disturbance was the horizontal passageway.In addition,the rotation torque did not influence the reaction mass and the piston rod deformation was improved greatly in the vertical passageway, which could reduce the vibrator disturbance effectively. Consequently, it is suggested that adopting the vertical passageway in the design of vibrator,which is good for im-proving output signal quality and enhancing output signal resolution.

In order to study the feedback efficiency of driving motor for electric vehicle and test the feedback efficiency expediently,the PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motor) energy feed-back system based on sliding mode control algorithm is proposed.It can control the input voltage and current to drive another motor with the same features to generate.Based on the theory of en-ergy feedback,the energy feedback simulation model for PMSM driving system was established, which consisted of the sliding mode and variable structure control block,the space vector block and the PMSM numerical simulation model.And then,the energy feedback simulation model for PMSM system was simulated and analyzed.The simulation results showed that the proposed en-ergy feedback method could obtain about 70% feedback efficiency.That's meant that the pro-posed energy feedback method was feasible.Then,the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test system with dSPACE controller for PMSM energy feedback was built.The proposed energy feedback method was verified by the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test system.The test results showed that the obtained feedback efficiency was 60% 80%.The test value was very close to the offline simu-lation value.Obviously, the test results not only verify the accuracy of energy feedback simulation model for PMSM,but also prove the feasibility of the energy feedback for the driving motor of electric vehicle.In addition,the proposed energy feedback method can provide more choices for current energy feedback mode.And,the hardware-in-the-loop test system also can provide some technology support for PMSM platform test and real-vehicle test research.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2017, 24(4): 418-424.   https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2017.04.008
Abstract( 1329 )   HTML( 1 )     PDF(7481KB)( 1104 )

It is inevitable that there is clearance between the bolt and the hole of bolted joint plate on account of the need of assemble and manufacture errors.And the changes of clearance have some influence on the modal frequencies of the bolted joint plate.The influence mechanisms of bolt-hole clearance on the modal frequencies of a single lapped and single bolted joint plate system were investigated,and subsequently a dynamical design method for bolted joint plate system by changing the diameter of through-hole was proposed.Firstly,the finite element modeling method was proposed by using ABAQUS package and Python language.Thereafter,a dynamic finite ele-ment model of the bolted joint plate system with variable diameter of through-hole was set up. Then the relation of the bolt-hole clearance and the modal frequencies of bolted joint plate was analyzed in two kinds of boundary conditions,including one end fixed and both ends fixed.Under a typical vibrating frequency band,the dynamic design method of the bolted joint plate system by changing the diameter of through-hole was discussed in the end.Results indicated that when the diameter of the through-hole was 1.02-1.20 times of the bolt diameter,the influences of bolt-hole clearance on the modal frequencies of bolted joint plate could be negligible.However,when the diameter of through-hole was larger than 1.21 times of bolt diameter,the effects of bolt-hole clearance on the vibration modal frequencies were obvious and the modal frequencies were mutation.The research shows that the modal frequency of system can be changed by changing the bolt-hole clearance in the specific incentive environment,so as to avoid the structure resonance. The proposed method provides some reference for analyzing the influence of bolt-hole clearance on natural frequency of complex bolted joint system,and also provides an idea of anti-vibration fatigue design method for the bolted joint system.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2017, 24(4): 425-432.   https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2017.04.009

The prediction of ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) on submarine layered foundations is a key point for the installation of offshore jack-up drilling platform.At present,the estimation of UBC of a layered foundation is mainly based on the empirical formulas for which the application scopes and limiting conditions are not clear.In order to evaluate the UBC of spudcan of jack-up on hard-soft clay foundations,the instalation of spudcan was modeled as a quasi-static process of gradully penetrating on a half-infinate elastic-plastic foundation.The soil was considered as an isotropic,elastic-plastic,Mohr-Coloumb material.The spudcan-soil interface was defined as a master-slave interface obeying Coloumb friction law.Non-linear numerical analysis on UBC of spudcan of jack-up platform on hard-soft clay foundations was carried out with finite element method (FEM) by using ABAQUS.The impacts of the strength ratio of overlying to underlying strata and the relative thickness of overlying clay on the UBC were analysed.The UBC data from FEM and the results calculated from the empirical formulas were compared.The results showed that when the relative thickness of overlying clay was fixed,the lower the strength ratio of over-lying to underlying strata S ut/Sub was,the larger the UBC of double-layered foundations would be.When H/B=1.0,the Brown and Meyerhof formula could be used to calculate the UBC only when Sut/Sub > 3 0..The scope of application of the method of projection area was 4.0 < Sut/Sub < 6.0.If the strength ratio was fixed,the larger the relative thickness of overlying clay was,the smaller influence of underlying soft soil on the UBC of double-layered foundations would be. When Sut/Sub > 3.0.,the Brown and Meyerhof formula and the method of projection area could be utilized to predict the UBC of double-layered foundations only when H/B < 1.0.The higher the strength ratio for overlying to underlying strata and the smaller the relative thickness of overlying stratum were,the greater the possibility for punch-through would be.These conclusions have certain instructional significance to engineering design of installation of spudcan.

Taking into account the problems of large error and poor stability because of the com-plicated force calculation of four-bar mechanism of coal hydraulic support,a method of particle swarm optimization is proposed to optimize the four-bar mechanism combined with the space force of the four-bar mechanism and movement trajectories.Firstly,the four-bar mechanism opti-mization model was established.Then,the parameters having greater impact on results were se-lected as the optimization variables in the optimization model, and the sum of trajectory deviation,connecting rod length and connecting rod force was taken as the objective function,and the constraints could be determined according to design specification of the hydraulic support. Lastly,the particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to solve the objective function and the penalty function method was used to solve the problems of inequality constraints in the optimization model.The purposes of lightweight,less force,high stability after the optimization of the four-bar mechanism were achieved by the comparison of rod length,stress and stability data be-fore and after optimization.The results indicate that the method has practical reference value for the design of the four-bar mechanism.

To solve path planning problems of accessing cars by AGV (automated guided vehicle) in the intelligent lift parking garage,the strategies of time-sharing use were utilized,and a path planning method of parking system based on dynamic time window was proposed through effec-tively combining Dijkstra algorithm and time window.First of all,the AGV having task was as-signed the priorities by the introduction of priority strategy.Then,according to the task priority order,Dijkstra algorithm was used to plan the shortest feasible path for the AGV having task. Finally,on the basis of feasible AGV's path,multiple AGV collision-free path planning was a-chieved by the method which contained time window initialization,time window real-time update and real-time arrangement.To test and verify the feasibility and effectiveness of path planning al-gorithm of parking system based on dynamic time window,the intelligent lift parking garage with four AGVs working at the same time was tested in the simulation experiment.The experi-mental results showed that the proposed method could solve some problems in the multiple AGV path planning,which included poor flexibility,easily arising deadlock conflict and collision con-flict,etc.Furthermore,the proposed method also could plan out a minimum-time optimal path for the AGV having task under the premise of effectively solving path conflicts.The results indi-cate that the method is correct,feasible and effective,and has a better robustness and flexible. Besides,it can effectively improve the overall operating efficiency of the intelligent parking system and reduce waiting time for accessing cars.
