It is known that the frequency of thermo-acoustic instabilities may vary according to various parameters during operation. The design of passive acoustic dampers tuned to damp specific unstable frequencies must then include this aspect to offer robust properties. This problem is tackled here for perforated plates backed by a resonant cavity in the absence of grazing flow. Their current design relies on a relatively complex optimization procedure with a large number of parameters to examine. A new methodology is proposed to reduce this number by finding the optimal parameters maximizing absorption in two limit regimes, where the choice of the optimal bias flow velocity and size of the back cavity can be decoupled. The former is only controlled by the plate porosity while the latter fixes the peak absorption frequency. The analysis also includes effects of the plate thickness. In both regimes, the optimal bias flow velocity is analytically determined. A Helmholtz resonance and a narrow absorption peak in the frequency space characterize the first absorption regime reached at high Strouhal numbers. This regime minimizes the size of the resonant back cavity, but the absorption frequency bandwidth narrows with increasing Strouhal numbers. The second absorption regime reached at low Strouhal numbers operates with a quarter-wave resonator. This regime requires larger cavity depths but offers a wider absorption bandwidth around the peak absorption frequency well suited for low frequency dampers when the bias flow velocity or the unstable frequency may vary within the system. Theoretical predictions are validated against experimental data obtained in the two regimes identified. The expressions derived in this study can be used to improve the design of robust acoustic dampers.

The use of finite element theory and modal analysis theory, the structure of the machine static and dynamic performance analysis and prediction using optimal design method for optimization, the new machine to improve job performance, improve processing accuracy, shorten the development cycle and enhance the competitiveness of products is very important. Selected for three-dimensional CAD modeling software-UG NX4.0 and finite element analysis software-ANSYS to set up the structure of the beam finite element model, and then post on the overall structure of the static and dynamic characteristic analysis, on the basis of optimized static and dynamic performance is more superior double wall structure of the beam. And by changing the wall thickness and the thickness of the inner wall, as well as the reinforcement plate thickness overall sensitivity analysis shows that changes in these three parameters on the dynamic characteristics of post impact. Application of topology optimization methods, determine the optimal structure of the beam ultimately.

Abstract A Framework of computational design method and model is proposed for layout and geometry design of complicated mechanical systems, which is named “configuration network and its viewing control”. In the method, a design object is represented with a set of declarative relationships among various elements of a system, that is, configurations, which is gradually extended from schematic structure to exact layout and geometry through design process. Since a whole of such configurations forms a too complicated network to compute all together, how to view subparts is controlled based on levels of granularity and width of scope range. Such a configuration network is made to grow and refined through embodying geometry and layout corresponding to a focused subpart with a numerical optimization procedure. The framework has also an ability to flexibly integrate with engineering analysis. Moreover, a design system is implemented with an object-oriented programming technique, and it is applied to a design problem of air conditioner units in order to show the validity and effectiveness of the framework.

We proposed a portable and ultra-small axial flow hydraulic turbine that can generate electric power comparatively easily using the low head of open channels such as existing pipe conduits or small rivers. In addition, we proposed a simple design method for axial flow runners in combination with the conventional one-dimensional design method and the design method of axial flow velocity uniformization, with the support of three-dimensional flow analysis. Applying our design method to the runner of an ultra-small axial flow hydraulic turbine, the performance and internal flow of the designed runner were investigated using CFD analysis and experiment (performance test and PIV measurement). As a result, the runners designed with our design method were significantly improved in turbine efficiency compared to the original runner. Specifically, in the experiment, a new design of the runner achieved a turbine efficiency of 0.768. This reason was that the axial component of absolute velocity of the new design of the runner was relatively uniform at the runner outlet in comparison with that of the original runner, and as a result, the negative rotational flow was improved. Thus, the validity of our design method has been verified.

The aerodynamic devices play an important role on the performance of the Formula SAE racing car. The rear wing is the most significant and popular element, which offers primary down force and optimizes the wake. In traditional rear wing optimization, the optimization variables are first selected, and separately enumerated according to the analyzing experience of the racing car’s external flow field, and thus the optimal design is chosen by comparison. This method is complicated, and even might lose some key sample points. In this paper, the attack angle of the rear wing and the relative position parameters are set as design variables; then the design variables’ combination is determined by the DOE experimental design method. The aerodynamic lift and drag of the racing car for these variables’ combinations are obtained by the computational fluid dynamics method. With these sample points, the approximation model is produced by the response surface method. For the sake of gaining the best lift to drag ( FL/ FD) ratio, i.e. maximum down force and the minimum drag force, the optimal solution is found by the genetic algorithm. The result shows that the established optimization procedure can optimize the rear wing’s aerodynamic characteristic on the racing car effectively and have application values in the practical engineering.
