To meet the different requirements in the industrial area, a novel reconfigurable parallel mechanism is proposed based on the spatial multiloop overconstrained mechanism. The configurations can be changed by driving the low-DOF (degree-of-freedom) overconstrained mechanism. The mobility of this mechanism is investigated. And the kinematic model and Jacobian matrix are both established. Based on the Jacobian matrix, the workspace, stiffness, and conditional number are all analyzed. To focus on the application in the industrial area, this paper proposes a method to establish the relationship between the performance and the structural parameters by using the modified BP neural network. Based on this method, the structural parameters can be chosen by the requirements of the special task in the industrial area. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to verify the method.

A spatial 3-DOF translational parallel mechanism is analyzed. Its inverse kinematic model is established. The section view of the workspace of the parallel mechanism is presented via boundary search method under the defined constraints. Considering the workspace volume as the optimization object, the relationship between structural parameters and workspace volume is obtained and the structural parameters to be optimized are determined. Finally, the optimization configuration of the mechanism is obtained. The results show that the volume of the workspace increases 1.55 times as much as the original volume, which lay the foundation for the architecture design.

Ore blending is an essential part of daily work in the concentrator. Qualified ore dressing products can make the ore dressing more smoothly. The existing ore blending modeling usually only considers the quality of ore blending products and ignores the effect of ore blending on ore dressing. This research proposes an ore blending modeling method based on the quality of the beneficiation concentrate. The relationship between the properties of ore blending products and the total concentrate recovery is fitted by the ABC-BP neural network algorithm, taken as the optimization goal to guarantee the quality of ore dressing products at the source. The ore blending system was developed and operated stably on the production site. The industrial test and actual production results have proved the effectiveness and reliability of this method.

Abstract Due to the vast ocean area and limited human and material resources, hydrographic survey must be carried out in a selective and well-planned way. Therefore, scientific planning of hydrographic surveys to ensure the effectiveness of navigational charts has become an urgent issue to be addressed by the hydrographic office of each coastal state. In this study, a reasonable calculation model of hydrographic survey cycle is established, which can be used to make the plan of navigational chart updating. The paper takes 493 navigational charts of Chinese coastal ports and fairways as the research object, analyses the fundamental factors affecting the hydrographic survey cycle and gives them weights, proposes to use the BP neural network to construct the relationship between the cycle and the impact factors, and finally establishes a calculation model of the hydrographic survey cycle. It has been verified that the calculation cycle of the model is effective, and it can provide reference for hydrographic survey planning and chart updating, as well as suggestions for navigation safety.

With the blowout of electric vehicles recently, the key parts of the electric vehicles driven by in-wheel motors named the electric wheel system become the core of development research. The torque ripple of the in-wheel motor mainly results in the longitudinal dynamics of the electric wheel system. The excitation sources are first analyzed through the finite element method, including the torque ripple induced by the in-wheel motor and the unbalanced magnetic pull produced by the relative motion between the stator and rotor. The accuracy of the finite element model is verified by the back electromotive force test of the in-wheel motor. Second, the longitudinal-torsional coupled dynamic model is established. The proposed model can take into account the unbalanced magnetic pull. Based on the model, the modal characteristics and the longitudinal dynamics of the electric wheel system are analyzed. The coupled dynamic model is verified by the vibration test of the electric wheel system. Two indexes, namely, the root mean square of longitudinal vibration of the stator and the signal-to-noise ratio of the tire slip rate, are proposed to evaluate the electric wheel longitudinal performance. The influence of unbalanced magnetic pull on the evaluation indexes of the longitudinal dynamics is analyzed. Finally, the influence of motor’s structural parameters on the average torque, torque ripple, and equivalent electromagnetic stiffness are analyzed through the orthogonal test. A surrogate model between the structural parameters of the in-wheel motor and the average torque, torque ripple, and equivalent electromagnetic stiffness is established based on the Bp neural network. The torque ripple and the equivalent electromagnetic stiffness are then reduced through optimizing the structural parameters of the in-wheel motor. It turns out that the proposed Bp neural network–based method is effective to suppress the longitudinal vibration of the electric wheel system.

Modeling the relationship between precipitation and water level is of great significance in the prevention of flood disaster. In recent years, the use of machine learning algorithms for precipitation–water level prediction has attracted wide attention in flood forecasting and other fields; however, a clear method to model the relationship of precipitation and water level using grid precipitation products with a neural network model is lacking. The issues of the method include how to select a neural network model, as well as how to influence the modeling results with different types and resolutions of remote sensing data. The purpose of this paper is to provide some findings for the issues. We used the back-propagation (BP) neural network and a nonlinear autoregressive exogenous model (NARX) time series network to model the relationship between precipitation and water level, respectively. The water level of Pingshan hydrographic station at a catchment area in the Jinsha River Basin was simulated by the two network models using three different grid precipitation products. The results showed that when the ground station data are missing, the grid precipitation product is a good alternative to construct the precipitation–water level relationship. In addition, using the NARX network as a model fitting network using extra inputs was better than using the BP neural network; the Nash efficiency coefficients of the former were all higher than 97%, while the latter were all lower than 94%. Furthermore, the input of grid products with different spatial resolutions has little significant effect on the modeling results of the model.

This paper deals with the dimensional synthesis of a novel parallel manipulator for medical applications. This parallel mechanism has a novel 2T2R mobility derived from the targeted application of needle manipulation. The kinematic design of this 2T2R manipulator and its novelty are illustrated in relation to the percutaneous procedures. Due to the demanding constraints on its size and compactness, achieving a large workspace especially in orientation, is a rather difficult task. The workspace size and kinematic constraint analysis are considered for the dimensional synthesis of this 2T2R parallel mechanism. A dimensional synthesis algorithm based on the screw theory and the geometric analysis of the singularities is described. This algorithm also helps to eliminate the existence of voids inside the workspace. The selection of the actuated joints is validated. Finally, the dimensions of the structural parameters of the mechanism are calculated for achieving the required workspace within the design constraints of size, compactness and a preliminary prototype without actuators is presented.

Tunnel lining crack is the most common disease and also the manifestation of other diseases, which widely exists in plain concrete lining structure. Proper evaluation and classification of engineering conditions directly relate to operation safety. Particle flow code (PFC) calculation software is applied in this study, and the simulation reliability is verified by using the laboratory axial compression test and 1 : 10 model experiment to calibrate the calculation parameters. Parameter analysis is carried out focusing on the load parameters, structural parameters, dimension, and direction which affect the crack diseases. Based on that, an evaluation index system represented by tunnel buried depth (H), crack position (P), crack length (L), crack width (W), crack depth (D), and crack direction (A) is put forward. The training data of the back propagation (BP) neural network which takes load-bearing safety and crack stability as the evaluation criteria are obtained. An expert system is introduced into the BP neural network for correction of prediction results, realizing classified dynamic optimization of complex engineering conditions. The results of this study can be used to judge the safety state of cracked lining structure and provide guidance to the prevention and control of crack diseases, which is significant to ensure the safety of tunnel operation.

SUMMARYIn this paper, we propose a unique, decoupled 3 degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel wrist. The condition required for synthesizing a fully isotropic parallel mechanism is obtained on the basis of the physical meaning of the row vector in the Jacobian matrix. Specifically, an over-constrained spherical 3-DOF parallel mechanism is presented and the modified structure, which avoids the redundant constraints, is also introduced. The proposed manipulator is capable of decoupled rotational motions around the x, y, and z axes and contains an output angle that is equal to the input angle. As this device is analyzed with the Jacobian matrix, the mechanism is free of singularity within its workspace and maintains homogenous stiffness over the entire workspace.
