This paper presents theoretical and experimental investigations into the potential of utilizing a piezoaeroelastic micropower generator to harvest energy from the combination of an external base excitation and an aerodynamic load. In particular, a harvester consisting of a rigid airfoil supported by a flexural piezoelectric beam and a torsional spring is placed in an incompressible air flow and subjected to an external harmonic base excitation in the plunge direction. Electromechanical equations describing the nonlinear system are given along with theoretical simulations. The performance of the piezoaeroelastic generator is studied experimentally below and above the flutter speed and found to exhibit qualitative agreement with the theory. Below the flutter speed, the response of the harvester is observed to be always periodic with the air flow serving to amplify the influence of the base excitation on the response by reducing the effective stiffness of the system, and hence, increasing the RMS output power. Beyond the flutter speed, the harvester’s response and its performance were observed to depend on the nearness of the excitation frequency to the frequency of the self-sustained oscillations induced by the flutter instability and the magnitude of the base excitation. When the base excitation is small and/or the excitation frequency is not close to the frequency of the self-sustained oscillations, the response of the harvester is two-period quasiperiodic with amplitude modulation due to the presence of two incommensurate frequencies. This amplitude modulation reduces the RMS output power. On the other hand, when the frequency of excitation is close to the frequency of the self-sustained oscillations and/or the amplitude of excitation is large enough to quench the quasiperiodic behavior, the response becomes periodic and the output power increases exhibiting little dependence on the base excitation.

Abstract In this paper the theory and experiment concerning vibration instability of disk-shaped gear are presented. At first the self-exciting force of gear is searched and the works done by the exciting force and damping force are analyzed. Then the vibration instability of the disk-shaped plain gear is studied with multiple scale’s method of the nonlinear perturbation method. The vibration characteristics of a coupled pair of bevel gears are investigated experimentally. Both theoretical and experimental investigations show that there are actually self-exciting vibrations on the gear. Under certain conditions the forward traveling wave vibration of the driving gear and the backward traveling wave vibration of the driven gear can be instable.

The lotus plumule has high medicinal value and is an important part of the lotus seed. Usually, the lotus seed must be split symmetrically into two halves through a splitting process to obtain an intact lotus plumule. However, this process is difficult to mechanize and automate, as different lotus seeds are of different sizes. In this study, a novel automatic self-adaptive splitting technology (SAST) is proposed for lotus seeds, based on a specially designed combined linkage mechanism and a roller pair centering mechanism. The technology can automatically adjust the position of the splitting point taper punch according to the size of the lotus seed and ensure that the tip of the punch is on the axis of the lotus seed. First, the centering deviation of the centering mechanism was analyzed. A mathematical model for the SAST was developed, and the key parameters were optimized using the firefly algorithm. An automatic splitting machine and a test bench were designed for centering deviation measurements, and both centering and splitting experiments were conducted. The generated maximum centering deviation of the SAST was <0.176 mm; the highest accurate splitting rates of 95% and 93.05% were achieved for unclassified and graded lotus seeds, respectively.

In the paper there are described designs of test benches to investigate the regularities of wave deformation strengthening processes. The advantages and disadvantages of well-known designs are revealed. A design of a new advanced test bench having wider technological potentialities and saved from the drawbacks revealed of the equipment created earlier is offered. A new design of the bench allows investigating the influence upon a process of a wave deformation strengthening of the elements of a shock system the parameters of which are varied in a wide range and applying also a series of marks upon a tested surface of a sample with the assurance of a specified accuracy of their mutual disposition. The test bench developed is essential for the fulfillment of experimental investigations of the interconnection between wave deformation parameters, a shape, dimensions of samples to be strengthened and a card of micro-hardness of a strengthened surface layer.

Umformwerkzeuge, die mit einer hochfrequenten mechanischen Schwingung überlagert werden, ermöglichen eine deutliche Reduzierung der benötigten Umformkräfte. Darauf aufbauend werden am Lehrstuhl für Fertigungstechnologie experimentelle Untersuchungen mit verschiedenen metallischen Werkstoffen durchgeführt, um deren Fließverhalten bei Ultraschallüberlagerung mit 15 kHz zu charakterisieren. Die aktuelle Studie befasst sich mit der Entwicklung und der Qualifizierung eines geeigneten Prüfstands. &nbsp; Forming tools that are superimposed with a high frequency oscillation enable a considerable reduction of the required forming forces. On this basis experimental investigations with various metallic materials are conducted at the Institute of Manufacturing Technology to characterize the flow behavior during ultrasonic-assisted forming with 15 kHz oscillation frequency. This study is concerned with the development and the qualification of a suitable test bench.

<p>This paper concerns the experimental investigations of the three-phase line commutated SCR inverter fed synchronous motor.  The fabricated system consists of a line-commuted inverter, a three-phase synchronous motor with the excitation winding connected in series to the inverter input, a terminal voltage sensor and a gate-pulse generating circuit. The firing pulses for SCRs of the inverter are generated by the microprocessor in proper sequence with the help of synchronizing signal derived from the terminal voltages of the synchronous machine. The steady state performance characteristics are obtained experimentally using the fabricated system. The experimental results show that a three-phase synchronous motor supplied by a line commutated inverter with the excitation winding connected in series to the dc link provide  excellent characteristics of the conventional dc series motor.</p>
