This paper presents a practical approach of FEA modeling and optimization of the design of the compact electromagnetic actuator. This special actuator is designed to perform the gear shifts in the synchronized segmentally interchanging pulley transmission system (SSIPTS.) The geometry and material properties of the actuator, which are confined by the assembling space and running condition of SSIPTS, are parametrically optimized by using FEA package, Comsol Multiphysics. The current density of coil, the geometric parameters of magnet, and the permeability of structural materials are major control variables in the optimization of the novel actuator. The target of the optimization process is to find the maximum electromagnetic force and the minimum mass of the entire device within the available space in the transmission package. The simulation results for the optimized design are presented and further compared with the performance requirements of the actuator.

Elastoplastic Damage

Material properties affect the surface finishing in ultra-precision diamond cutting (UPDC), especially for aluminum alloy 6061 (Al6061) in which the cutting-induced temperature rise generates different types of precipitates on the machined surface. The precipitates generation not only changes the material properties but also induces imperfections on the generated surface, therefore increasing surface roughness for Al6061 in UPDC. To investigate precipitate effect so as to make a more precise control for the surface quality of the diamond turned Al6061, it is necessary to confirm the compositions and material properties of the precipitates. Previous studies have indicated that the major precipitate that induces scratch marks on the diamond turned Al6061 is an AlFeSi phase with the composition of Al86.1Fe8.3Si5.6. Therefore, in this paper, to study the material properties of the AlFeSi phase and its influences on ultra-precision machining of Al6061, an elastoplastic-damage model is proposed to build an elastoplastic constitutive model and a damage failure constitutive model of Al86.1Fe8.3Si5.6. By integrating finite element (FE) simulation and JMatPro, an efficient method is proposed to confirm the physical and thermophysical properties, temperature-phase transition characteristics, as well as the stress–strain curves of Al86.1Fe8.3Si5.6. Based on the developed elastoplastic-damage parameters of Al86.1Fe8.3Si5.6, FE simulations of the scratch test for Al86.1Fe8.3Si5.6 are conducted to verify the developed elastoplastic-damage model. Al86.1Fe8.3Si5.6 is prepared and scratch test experiments are carried out to compare with the simulation results, which indicated that, the simulation results agree well with those from scratch tests and the deviation of the scratch force in X-axis direction is less than 6.5%.

This research work was devoted to present a novel adaptive controller which uses two negative stable feedbacks with a positive unstable positive feedback. The positive feedback causes the plant to do the break, therefore reaching the desired trajectory with tiny overshoots. However, the two other negative feedback gains controls the plant in two other sides of positive feedback, making the system to be stable, and controlling the steady-state, and transient responses. This controller was performed for PUMA-560 trajectory planning, and a comparison was made with a fuzzy controller. The fuzzy controller parameters were obtained according to the PSO technique. The simulation results shows that the novel adaptive controller, having just three parameters, can perform well, and can be a good substitute for many other controllers for complex systems such as robotic path planning.

Abstract In this paper we discuss the design of an object-oriented framework for simulation and optimization. Although oriented around high-level problem solving, the framework defines several classes of problems and includes concrete implementations of common algorithms for solving these problems. Simulations are run by combining these algorithms, as needed, for a particular problem. Included in this framework is the capability to compute the sensitivity of simulation results to the different simulation parameters (e.g. material properties, boundary conditions, etc). This sensitivity information is valuable in performing optimization because it allows the use of gradient-based optimization algorithms. Also included in the system are many useful abstractions and implementations related to the finite element method.

Simulation Results

The goal of this work was to develop a 3D model of Electric Swing Adsorption pro- cess for carbon dioxide capture from effluent gasses from power plants. Detailed 3D model of the composite honeycomb monolithic adsorber was developed for a sin- gle monolith channel and can be used to simulate and represent different physical properties: velocity, concentration and temperature. The advantage of this model is the fact that all physical properties and results can be presented visually in the 3D domain. COMSOL Multiphysics software was used for solving partial differential equations and simulations of adsorption and electrothermal desorption processes. Some simulation results are presented in this work. The results obtained from 3D simulations will be used for the adsorber model reduction to the 1D model which will be used for modeling and optimization of the whole ESA cycle due to its sim- plicity and computational demands. Simulation and optimization runs based on the 1D model will be performed in g-Proms software.

Compared with AC (alternating current) transmission, DC(direct current) transmission has obvious superiority at high power, long distance, submarine cable transmission and asynchronous interconnected between exchange systems etc.. This paper constructed a kind of 12 pulse bridge UHV DC transmission system that includes control protection function through MATLAB/Simulink tool. By setting the breaker parameters, this paper studied the 12 pulse bridge UHV DC transmission system AC/DC side in case of setting down time, type and cleared. The simulation results demonstrate that this system has a good effect in harmonic control and it has no power compensations in realizing HV DC process, and it can completely work as an important reference in constructing HV DC power grid.

Shrinkage Defects

Shrinkage cavity and shrinkage porosity, often occurring during the production of heavy v-belt pulley roughcast, may lead to the decrease of the pulley performance and further result in casting rejection. Therefore, it is necessary to study the causes and prevention measures of shrinkage defects of the casting. The material of V-belt pulley roughcast at issue is HT250 and it adopts resin sand casting process. With a large amount of practice in workshop and times of revision of the design of foundry technology, we have found that the shrinkage in the hot spot of heavy v-belt pulley roughcast can be reduced or even eliminated to fully meet the performance requirements with a moderate control of pouring temperature and speed, an optimized design of foundry technology, and a strict limitation of chemical composition. This finding will bring illumination to the production process of other heavy pulley roughcast.

Abstract In this paper, a beam-adjustable metasurface (BAM) is realized based on the plasma metamaterial with a dielectric matching layer technique, which is a novel phase compensation method. In order to realize phase compensation from 0° to 360°, the dielectric matching layers are added above the BAM to compensate the phase. The added dielectric layers can have different refractive indices or different thicknesses. Compared with the conventional phase compensation methods, such a method has an universal adaptability, and the phase curve of unit cell does not need to cover 0° ~ 360°. The elements of the BAM can be reconstructed by adjusting the excitation region of the plasma resonance structures to achieve spatial beam scanning. The simulation results show that the proposed BAM has a good performance. It provides that such a novel idea can help to design the novel BAMs to obtain the adjustable and scannable reflective beam in space.
