Abstract Swarm intelligence method is an effective way to improve the particle degradation and sample depletion of the traditional particle filter. This paper proposes a particle filer based on the gravitation field algorithm (GF-PF), and the gravitation field algorithm is introduced into the resampling process to improve particle degradation and sample depletion. The gravitation field algorithm simulates the solar nebular disk model, and introduces the virtual central attractive force and virtual rotation repulsion force between particles. The particles are moves rapidly to the high-likelihood region under action of the virtual central attractive force. The virtual rotation repulsion force makes the particles keep a certain distance from each other. These operations improve estimation performance, avoid overlapping of particles and maintain the diversity of particles. The proposed method is applied into INS/gravity gradient aided navigation, by combining the sea experimental data of an inertial navigation system. Compared with the particle swarm optimization particle filter(PSO-PF) and artificial physics optimized particle filter (APO-PF), the GF-PF has higher position estimate accuracy and faster convergence speed with the same experimental conditions.

Symmetry Properties

An effective method for analysis of periodic forced response of nonlinear cyclically symmetric structures has been developed. The method allows multiharmonic forced response to be calculated for a whole bladed disk using a periodic sector model without any loss of accuracy in calculations and modeling. A rigorous proof of the validity of the reduction of the whole nonlinear structure to a sector is provided. Types of bladed disk forcing for which the method may be applied are formulated. A multiharmonic formulation and a solution technique for equations of motion have been derived for two cases of description for a linear part of the bladed disk model: (i) using sector finite element matrices and (ii) using sector mode shapes and frequencies. Calculations validating the developed method and a numerical investigation of a realistic high-pressure turbine bladed disk with shrouds have demonstrated the high efficiency of the method.

Theoretical, calculated, and experimental results of studies on the registration of the accounting effect of plasticity in the diagnosis of axisymmetric stresses by the hole method and speckle-interferometric detection of the field of normal displacements in its vicinity are presented. Theoretical and computational studies were carried out on a disk model of finite thickness from an ideally elastic–plastic material. The theoretical model considers the formation of elastoplastic deformations in the vicinity of the through hole; the calculated finite element model considers in the vicinity of both through and blind holes of different depths. It was noted that at the blind hole, the most informative are the movements of the axisymmetric bend caused by the violation by the blind hole of symmetry of the disk with respect to its median plane. At the same time, an approximate analytical method has been developed to calculate the stresses that cause only elastic deformations. Experimental studies were carried out on a series of samples in the form of steel disks with axisymmetric stresses near the yield point. These stresses were induced by the hot fit of grinded rings from hardened high-strength steel onto disks made of steel with a low yield strength. Examples are given which show that the stress values determined from normal displacements in the vicinity of the probe holes from the calculated–theoretical and experimental are similar.

Air Cooled Heat Exchanger

An axial flow fan design methodology is developed to design large diameter, low pressure rise, rotor-only fans for large air-cooled heat exchangers. The procedure aims to design highly efficient axial flow fans that perform well when subjected to off design conditions commonly encountered in air-cooled heat exchangers. The procedure makes use of several optimisation steps in order to achieve this. These steps include optimising the hub-tip ratio, vortex distribution, blading and aerofoil camber distributions in order to attain maximum total-to-static efficiency at the design point. In order to validate the design procedure a 24 ft, 8 bladed axial flow fan is designed to the specifications required for an air-cooled heat exchanger for a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant. The designed fan is numerically evaluated using both a modified version of the actuator disk model and a three dimensional periodic fan blade model. The results of these CFD simulations are used to evaluate the design procedure by comparing the fan performance characteristic data to the design specification and values calculated by the design code. The flow field directly down stream of the fan is also analysed in order to evaluate how closely the numerically predicted flow field matches the designed flow field, as well as determine whether the assumptions made in the design procedure are reasonable. The fan is found to meet the required pressure rise, however the fan total-to-static efficiency is found to be lower than estimated during the design process. The actuator disk model is found to under estimate the power consumption of the fan, however the actuator disk model does provide a reasonable estimate of the exit flow conditions as well as the total-to-static pressure characteristic of the fan.

The present investigation focused on the estimation of the parameters of a structural model to represent “at best” a set of measurements of the steady state response of a mistuned bladed disk. The applicability of the least squares and maximum likelihood approaches to the identification of the bladed disk model from this data is first investigated. The advantages and drawbacks of these techniques motivate the introduction of a new mixed least squares-maximum likelihood formulation which is shown to recover well the true model parameters from noisy simulated response data.

For bladed-disk assemblies in turbomachinery, the elements are often exposed to aerodynamic loadings, the so-called engine order excitations. It has been reported that such excitations could cause significant structural vibration. The vibration level could become even more excessive when the bladed disk is mistuned, and may cause fatigue damage to the engine components. To effectively suppress vibration in bladed disks, a piezoelectric transducer networking concept has been explored previously by the authors. While promising, the idea was developed based on a simplified bladed-disk model without considering the disk dynamics. To advance the state of the art, this research further extends the investigation with focus on new circuitry designs for a more sophisticated and realistic system model with the consideration of coupled-blade-disk dynamics. A novel multicircuit piezoelectric transducer network is synthesized and analyzed for multiple-harmonic vibration suppression of bladed disks. An optimal network is derived analytically. The performance of the network for bladed disks with random mistuning is examined through Monte Carlo simulation. The effects of variations (mistuning and detuning) in circuit parameters are also studied. A method to improve the system performance and robustness utilizing negative capacitance is discussed. Finally, experiments are carried out to demonstrate the vibration suppression capability of the proposed piezoelectric circuitry network.
