In the cloud manufacturing environment, aiming at the problem of huge waste of resources caused by the surplus sheet materials after processing by small and medium-sized enterprises, a hierarchical resource description model based on the semantic similarity algorithm and integrating the QoS (quality of service) information is proposed. Firstly, the ontology models of surplus sheet material and sheet processing equipment resources were established; then, based on the semantic similarity algorithm, the attribute parameters of surplus sheet material and sheet processing equipment were matched to obtain the primary selection service set; finally, the natural language describing the user’s requirements was transformed into triangular fuzzy numbers through the fuzzy QoS matching algorithm, and the optimal set of service equipment was obtained. The simulation results showed that the proposed method took the surplus sheet materials as manufacturing resources to access the cloud manufacturing platform, and shared them in the form of services, which enhanced the accuracy and reliability of the service matching process and realized the reasonable scheduling and use of surplus sheet material and idle sheet processing equipment resources. The research results can provide a new idea for the matching and optimization of surplus sheet material and processing equipment resources in the cloud manufacturing environment.

In view of the disadvantages of the current active heave compensation method of marine winches driven by AC (alternating current) variable frequency motors, such as large starting current, low efficiency and large energy consumption, an active heave compensation control method driven by switched reluctance motor (SRM) is proposed. Firstly, a mathematical model of SRM was established. Then, combined with the synchronous control requirements of the active heave compensation of the marine winch, a speed control method of SRM based on gradual steady state control signal-error control (GSSEC) was proposed, and its basic principle, specific design method and control parameter optimization method were analyzed. Finally, the effect of the speed control method of SRM was simulated and verified by experiment. The results showed that the speed control method of SRM based on GSSEC not only had high tracking accuracy for the time-varying given speed, but also had strong robustness to the load disturbance, which effectively improved the accuracy of the active heave compensation control of the marine winch. The research result is of great significance to promote the application of the active heave compensation control function of marine winches.

Point cloud hole repair is a key technology in the point cloud data processing, which directly affects the quality and integrity of the point cloud. The BP (back propagation) neural network optimized by genetic algorithm (GA)(GA-BP neural network) is a good repair method for scattered point cloud holes. However, multiple steps in the traditional repair method of scattered point cloud holes based on GA-BP neural network need to be completed through the human-computer interaction with the help of reverse software, which leads to a tedious and time-consuming process. Therefore, an automatic repair method of scattered point cloud holes based on GA-BP neural network was proposed. Through the computer programming, the hole identification, hole region interpolation and hole repair were combined to realize the automatic repair from the incomplete point cloud model to complete point cloud model without complicated human-computer interaction and data conversion. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively avoid the data distortion caused by the data conversion, reduce the workload of human-computer interaction and repair point cloud holes conveniently and efficiently. The density of the repaired point cloud is uniform, which is of great significance for improving the repair efficiency and quality of point cloud holes.

https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2021.00.023
Due to the complex structure and bad operating environment, the wind turbine gearbox is a component with the highest failure rate in the wind turbine. Its performance directly affects the stability and safety of the wind turbine, and it may cause property loss or even casualties in serious cases. Therefore, based on the principle of electrostatic monitoring, a number of electrostatic sensors were used to simultaneously monitor the secondary effect of the friction and wear of the wind turbine gearbox; based on the extracted time-domain characteristic parameters and complexity measurement parameters, the MWLOF (moving window local outlier factor) algorithm was used to analyze the variation trend of electrostatic signals of the wear state of the wind turbine gearbox in the load test and damage test. The results showed that in the load test, the electrostatic monitoring method had detected the early performance degradation of the wind turbine gearbox before some faults occurred; in the damage test, the electrostatic monitoring method detected the faults of wind turbine gearbox by 200-1 000 sample points earlier than the vibration monitoring method. The research shows that as a new condition monitoring technology, the electrostatic monitoring method can effectively improve the ability to monitor the wear state of wind turbine gearboxes and make a relatively accurate early the occurrence of early faults, which can provide a reference for the state monitoring of key parts of large equipment.

https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2021.00.020
In deepwater test operations, the riser and the test string formed a coupling structure of double-layered string, which caused coupling vibration under the action of ocean current, bringing about safety risks. To study the influence of ocean velocity on the vibration of the riser-test string system, a similar experimental device for the vortex-induced vibration of riser-test string system was established, and the vortex-induced vibration experiment of riser-test string system was carried out at different ocean current velocities. In the experiment, strain gauges were used to collect data, and the experimental data was processed by modal analysis method to analyze the strain, frequency, displacement standard deviation and modal characteristics of the riser and the test string in lateral and flow directions. The results showed that under the load of the marine environment, the riser and the test string contacted and collided. Consequently, the test string produced vortex-induced vibration similar to that of the riser. However, the vibration amplitude of the riser was significantly larger than that of the test string; when the ocean current velocity was 0.5 m/s, the vibration amplitude of the riser and the test string increased significantly, and the riser-test string system showed a "locks up" phenomenon; as the ocean current velocity increased, the flow direction vibration of the riser was gradually dominated by a higher frequency, but the flow direction vibration of the test string was still dominated by a lower frequency. The research results can provide a reference for the suppression of riser vibration during deepwater test operation.

In order to solve key technical problems in the implementation of double-disc straight groove grinding method, relevant studies on the rotating motion of cylindrical rollers under the grinding state were conducted. Firstly, the theoretical analysis of the rotating motion of cylindrical roller under the grinding state was carried out to conclude the its stable rotation conditions. Secondly, based on ADAMS (automatic dynamic analysis of mechanical systems) software, a dynamics simulation model of the rotating motion of cylindrical roller was established. Taking the friction coefficient between the cylindrical roller and the upper and lower grinding discs, the half-angle of lower grinding disc V-type groove, the grinding pressure on single cylindrical roller and the relative linear velocity of the upper and lower grinding discs as main influencing factors, and the relative sliding rate of cylindrical roller as the evaluation index, an orthogonal experiment considering the interaction between factors was carried out. Furthermore, through the response mean analysis and variance analysis, the optimal parameter combination which could realize the stable and continuous rotation of cylindrical rollers was obtained. Finally, the correctness of the optimal parameter combination was verified on a self-designed experimental platform of cylindrical roller rotating motion test platform. The experimental results showed that the average relative sliding rate of cylindrical rollers during rotation under the optimal parameter combination was only 0.3%, and the stable and continuous rotation could be achieved, which verified the correctness of optimal parameter combination obtained by the theoretical analysis and orthogonal experiment. The research results confirm the reasonable and feasible range of the cylindrical roller rotating motion based on the double-disc straight groove grinding, which has guiding significance for the engineering practice of the double-disc straight groove grinding method, and lays the foundation for improving the consistency of the batch diameter size of cylindrical rollers.

In order to study the failure of the axial cooling fan of the auxiliary converter in a maglev train, a failure analysis and optimization design method based on the field test, finite element simulation and surrogate model was proposed. Firstly, the failure mechanism of the axial cooling fan was analyzed through the vibration spectrum test and modal simulation analysis, and the local resonance caused by the insufficient rigidity of the installation structure and the decrease of the rotating speed was determined as the root cause of the fan failure. Then, based on the modal analysis results, a retrofit scheme for local strengthening of diagonal reinforcements in the installation network of axial cooling fan was designed, and the performance of the retrofit fan was evaluated by the acceleration spectrum response analysis. Then, the surrogate model was used to fit the mapping relationship between the characteristic parameters of the installation network strengthening structure and the vibration response characteristics of the axial cooling fan. The optimal retrofit scheme was obtained by the intelligent algorithm with the optimization objectives of avoiding resonance, reducing vibration intensity and minimizing retrofit cost. Finally, the feasibility of the optimal retrofit scheme was verified by the vibration performance evaluation test and the long-life vibration test. The results showed that the optimal retrofit scheme could effectively solve the local resonance problem of the axial cooling fan and prolong its service life.

Functionally graded material (FGM) has good application prospects in the design of thermal protection system of hypersonic aircraft because of the continuous variation of internal components along the space position, which can effectively alleviate thermal stress concentration and other phenomena. Taking the metal-ceramic functionally graded plate as the research object, the changing rules of heat conduction, thermal deformation and thermal stress of the functionally graded plate under different thermal environments were discussed. Firstly, based on the power-law distribution model of FGM, the effects of four kinds of thermal environments, including linear temperature field, sinusoidal temperature field, heat flux temperature field and nonlinear temperature field, on the physical properties of FGM were analyzed. Secondly, based on the idea of finite element layered modeling, the finite element model of functionally graded plate was established by Python programming. The changing rules of heat conduction, thermal deformation and thermal stress of functionally graded plate in heat flux temperature field under different plate thickness, ceramic volume fraction index and heat flux density and other parameters were simulated and analyzed. Finally, the method of improving the thermal protection performance of functionally graded plate based on parameter control was discussed. The results showed that when using FGM to design aircraft thermal protection panel, the ceramic volume fraction index should be less than 5.0; under heat flux temperature field, the thickness of the functionally graded plate was 7.2-9.0 mm, and the ceramic volume fraction index was 1.0-2.5, which could realize the light weight and efficient heat insulation of functionally graded plate; when the heat flux density was constant, it was of vital importance to adjust the flight time to guarantee the safety of aircraft; the heat flux density should be limited to 5-10 mW/mm2 to control the deformation of functionally graded plate. The research conclusions have reference value for the thermal protection design of metal-ceramic functionally graded plate under heat flux temperature field.

The structure of offshore wind power foundation bearing equipment becomes more and more complex and heavier. Different construction processes and construction paths will lead to different residual stresses of the bearing equipment, which will affect its safety and reliability. Therefore, based on the finite element analysis method, different calculation models of offshore wind power jacket were established by using the beam element and the shell element, respectively. Then, the vertical and horizontal on-land construction processes of the offshore wind power jacket were simulated by using the element life-and-death technology. The simulation results showed that the shell element could simulate the stress state at the connections of offshore wind power jacket pipes more accurately; vertical construction process could reduce the residual stress on the key parts of the offshore wind power jacket and keep it stable during the construction, and the residual stress of the offshore wind power jacket was smaller after the construction was completed. The research results show that the key parts of large offshore structures should be simulated by shell elements which can reflect the actual structural characteristics, and the vertical construction process is safer during the on-land construction, which can provide a reference for the selection of on-land construction process for the offshore wind power foundation bearing equipment.
