Lumped Parameter Method

In this paper, we studied the fly rod casting dynamics. A nonlinear finite element model was used to analyze the transient response of a fly rod, in which fly rod responses were determined under the simulation of forward casting stroke. The lumped parameter method was used to discretize the fly line system. Finally, we determined the fly line motions during a cast based on the information of fly rod tip responses, which are the initial boundary conditions of the fly line. The fly line loop generation, propagation, and line turn-over were represented numerically. The results were compared to the rigid rod case, in which fly tip path was specified for a given fly rod case, in which fly tip path was specified for a given fly rod butt input. Our numerical results strongly recommended the flexibility (nonlinear) effects of the fly rod must be included in order to capture the actual casting dynamics. The fly rod casting simulation was studied analytically and further experimental validation is needed.

An analysis of fly fishing rod casting dynamics was developed comprising of a nonlinear finite element representation of the composite fly rod and a lumped parameter model for the fly line. A nonlinear finite element model was used to analyze the transient response of the fly rod, in which fly rod responses were simulated for a forward casting stroke. The lumped parameter method was used to discretize the fly line system. Fly line motions were simulated during a cast based on fly rod tip response, which was used as the initial boundary condition for the fly line. Fly line loop generation, propagation, and line turn-over were simulated numerically. Flexible rod results were compared to the rigid rod case, in which the fly tip path was prescribed by a given fly rod butt input. Our numerical results strongly suggest that nonlinear flexibility effects on the fly rod must be included in order to accurately simulate casting dynamics and associated fly line motion.

Lumped Parameter Method

This paper proposes an improved lumped parameter method for calculating the static characteristics of multi-recess hydrostatic journal bearings. The improved lumped parameter method can estimate the total pressure distribution in the circumferential direction by introducing control volume in the middle of each inter-recess land, and utilizing the flow continuity equations for each recess and each control volume with the assumption that the pressure distributions are parabolic on the inter-recess land. Then the recess pressure and the fluid film force can be calculated. The calculation accuracy of the improved lumped parameter method and the traditional lumped parameter method is comparatively discussed under different eccentricity ratios and wrap angles of the recess. The results show that the improved lumped parameter method has higher calculation accuracy and wider application range.

Micro speakers are playing an increasingly important role with the development of multimedia devices. This study applies the lumped-parameter method, which uses an equivalent circuit to model the electromagnetic and mechanical domains. The acoustic domain is modeled using the finite element method. Based on the analysis tool, the use of a screen is analyzed, and the screen is designed to depress the acoustic resonance in the sound-pressure-level curve and improve the performance. The samples are fabricated, and the experiment verifies the analysis method. The experimental result shows that the peak and dip due to the standing wave are cancelled, and the frequency response is smooth when the screen is used.

This paper describes a very simple beam model, amenable to be used in multibody applications, for cases where the effects of torsion and shear are negligible. This is the case of slender rods connecting different parts of many space mechanisms, models useful in polymer physics, computer animation, etc. The proposed new model follows a lumped parameter method that leads to a rotation-free formulation. Axial stiffness is represented by a standard nonlinear truss model, while bending is modeled with a force potential. Several numerical experiments are carried out in order to assess accuracy, which is usually the main drawback of this type of approach. Results reveal a remarkable accuracy in nonlinear dynamical problems, suggesting that the proposed model is a valid alternative to more sophisticated approaches.

With the development of multimedia devices, earphones are playing an increasingly important role. This article applies the lumped parameter method using an equivalent circuit to model the electromagnetic, mechanical, and acoustic domains of earphones. Then, parameters are determined according to the dimensions and material properties of earphone parts. On the basis of the analysis tool and determined parameters, a Helmholtz protector is analyzed and designed to improve the high-frequency response. Samples are fabricated, and the experiment verifies the analysis method. The experimental result shows that the peaks at 7 k and 10 k are decreased at 8.05 dB and 7.89 dB. The root means square value of SPL deviation compared with target curve decreased from 9.77 to 4.39. High-frequency response is improved by using the Helmholtz protector.

Gear machine tool main drive shaft to avoid resonance problem is studied.The force of the drive shaft is analyzed, and the vibration form of the drive shaft is confirmed. Using the lumped parameter method to simplify the main drive shaft, the lumped mass model and the force model were been obtained. When bending vibrating, the natural frequency of the main drive shaft is calculated using the transfer matrix method. The calculated critical speed is 43755r/min, which far outweighs the motor rated speed .It means that the drive shaft under normal work won't be resonance, which accords with the request of production.
