The Stability

Complex material parameters that can represent the losses of giant magnetostrictive materials (GMMs) are the key parameters for high-power transducer design and performance analysis. Since the GMMs work under pre-stress conditions and their performance is highly sensitive to pre-stress, the complex parameters of a GMM are preferably characterized in a specific pre-stress condition. In this study, an optimized characterization method for GMMs is proposed using three complex material parameters. Firstly, a lumped parameter model is improved for a longitudinal transducer by incorporating three material losses. Then, the structural damping and contact damping are experimentally measured and applied to confine the parametric variance ranges. Using the improved lumped parameter model, the real parts of the three key material parameters are characterized by fitting the experimental impedance data while the imaginary parts are separately extracted by the phase data. The global sensitivity analysis that accounts for the interaction effects of the multiple parameter variances shows that the proposed method outperforms the classical method as the sensitivities of all the six key parameters to both impedance and phase fitness functions are all high, which implies that the extracted material complex parameters are credible. In addition, the stability and credibility of the proposed parameter characterization is further corroborated by the results of ten random characterizations.

The Stability

The dynamic characteristics of a cam-actuated system whose follower mass is coupled with a nonlinear pneumatic mechanism of hysteretic type are investigated using a lumped-parameter model. The dynamic response of the cam follower is obtained from the solution of the formulated system equation by the Krylov-Bogoliubov method of variation of parameters. The stability of the system is also investigated.

In this paper a new 3 degree-of-freedom lumped-parameter model for machine tool vibrations is developed and analyzed. One mode is shown to be stable and decoupled from the other two, and thus the stability of the system can be determined by analyzing the remaining two modes. It is shown that this mode-coupled nonconservative cutting tool model including the regenerative effect (time delay) can produce an instability criteria that admits low-level or zero chip thickness chatter.

Effect Of Surface

Herein, the impact of surface layer on the stability of nanoscale tweezers and cantilevers fabricated from nanowires with cylindrical cross section is studied. A modified continuum based on the Gurtin–Murdoch surface elasticity is applied for incorporating the presence of surface layer. Considering the cylindrical geometry of the nanowire, the presence of the Coulomb attraction and dispersion forces are incorporated in the derived formulations. Three different approaches, i.e. numerical differential quadrature method (DQM), an approximated homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and developing lumped parameter model (LPM) have been employed to solve the governing equations. The impact of surface layer on the instability of the system is demonstrated.

Abstract The Hyperloop transportation system paradigm has gained increasing attention in the last years due to its potential advantages in technology, territory, and infrastructure. From an engineering point of view, it would lead to fast, safe, efficient transportation of passengers and cargo. The stability of the electrodynamic levitation system represents a key enabling aspect of Hyperloop. In this context, the state of the art presents numerous attempts to stabilize these systems without definitive guidelines on how to attain proper, stable behavior. Furthermore, research has provided extensive literature in the context of electrodynamic bearings, which requires proper interpretation and generalization into the translational domain. In this paper, we address the stabilization of levitation systems by reproducing the strong interaction between the electrodynamic phenomenon and the mechanical domain. A novel lumped-parameter model with a multiple-branch circuit is proposed and tuned through finite-element simulations to replicate the electrodynamic behavior. The multi-domain equations are linearized and the unstable nature of the levitation system is identified and discussed. Then, a suitable method to add damping and optimize stability is studied. Finally, the linearized model is compared with the nonlinear representation to validate the followed approach.

And Performance

One of the oldest tools in the world, the hand-struck chisel, has been improved with the addition of a polymer cap. The cap enhances the safety and ergonomic features without compromising chisel cutting performance. During the development of this new design, a lumped-parameter model was used to quantify force transmission characteristics, and select a suitable polymer-reinforced nylon (Minlon™). In addition, a finite element model together with laboratory and field tests were used to demonstrate that the addition of the polymer cap significantly reduces chisel vibration and noise. Additional long term tests confirmed the cutting effectiveness and durability of the capped chisel.

The Stability

This paper describes a new approach to the control of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. The fundamental concept of the new approach is that the controller learns to predict the actual thermal sensation of the specific occupant by tuning parameters of a model of the occupant’s thermal sensation. The parameters are adjusted with respect to thermal sensation ratings acquired from the specific occupant and measurements of physical variables that affect thermal sensation so that with time the model accurately reflects the thermal sensation of the specific occupant. From a lumped-parameter model of a singleroom enclosure, it is shown that the stability of the nominal system can be maintained by utilizing a priori information about the parameters of the thermal sensation model. The method is implemented on a ductless, split-system heat pump. Experiments using human subjects verify the feasibility of the method.

Digital displacement fluid power pumps/motors offers improved efficiency and performance compared to traditional variable displacement pump/motors. These improvements are made possible by using efficient electronically controlled seat valves and careful design of the flow geometry. To optimize the design and control of digital displacement machines, there is a need for simulation models, preferably models with low computational cost. Therefore, a low computational cost generic lumped parameter model of digital displacement machine is presented, including a method for determining the needed model parameters based on steady CFD results, in order to take detailed geometry information into account. The response of the lumped parameter model is compared to a computational expensive transient CFD model for an example geometry.
