Abstract Aiming at the problem of load distribution during multi-pass cold rolling of nuclear zirconium alloy strip, the load distribution model with good shape is established by the self-adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm (SAPSO), considering the main constraint conditions including rolling force, reduction and torque in cold rolling process. Based on the penalty function method transforming the constraint problem into the unconstrained problem, the particle swarm optimization algorithm with adaptive inertia weight factor optimized the load distribution model is developed to improve the local search ability of the particle swarm optimization algorithm. Compared with the existing nuclear zirconium alloy industrial schedule, the simulation results of load distribution based on the SAPSO can keep good shape in multi-pass cold rolling process with the high prediction accuracy. The industrial experiments demonstrate that the proportional crown difference value is consistent, the plate shape flatness is good.

Abstract Measuring the mechanical load on linear guides provides many possibilities regarding predictive maintenance and process monitoring. In this contribution, we provide an in depth evaluation of a Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) based sensor system integrated into the runner block’s raceway that is capable of directly measuring the load on individual rolling elements. An efficient algorithm based on an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for local sensor fusion and load estimation is presented and proven to reliably retrieve the load regardless of the rolling element’s position. Afterwards, we compare locally measured loads to results from a theoretical load distribution model, providing valuable insight into modeling parameters and a verification of the sensor measurement principle. In a final step, an algorithm to invert the load distribution model is derived and used for an evaluation of the sensor system, achieving Root-Mean-Square (RMS) estimation errors of equivalently 1.4 kN in the preload range and 2.75 kN overall for one dimensional loads. Load mode distinction was equally successful with a suppression RMS error of 0.7 kN in the preload range and 2.87 kN in total.

This paper aims to investigate the load distribution and contact stiffness characteristics of the single-nut ball screw pair (SNBSP). First, the transformed relationship of coordinate systems is established. Then, the whole rolling elements load distribution model of the SNBSP is presented. Based on this, the whole rolling elements contact stiffness model is obtained. Applying the Newton–Raphson iterative method to solve the model, the normal force of rolling elements and the contact angles between balls and raceway surface are determined. The calculation results are reasonably consistent with those of the half pitch model. Then, the local contact stiffness and global contact stiffness are obtained. Furthermore, the effects of axial load and structural parameters of the SNBSP on the normal contact force, contact angle, and local and global contact stiffness are discussed using numeric analysis. Finally, a dynamic model of the z-axis feed system with time-varying axial stiffness is established, and the accuracy of the model is verified by experiments.

Analysis And Design

The current load distribution model for cycloid drives based on the Hertz contact stiffness typically assumes a two-dimensional planar problem without considering the tooth longitudinal modification effects, which fails to comply with the practical situation. In this paper, this issue is clarified by developing a semi-analytical load distribution model based on a three-dimensional and linear elastic solution. Unloaded tooth contact analysis is introduced to determine the instantaneous mesh information. The tooth compliance model considering tooth contact deformation is established by combining the Boussinesq force–displacement relationships in elastic half-space with an influence coefficient method. With this, the loads, contact patterns, and loaded transmission error are calculated by enforcing the compatibility and equilibrium conditions. Comparisons to predictions made with the assumption of Hertz contact stiffness are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model, which shows good agreement. At the end, the effect of tooth longitudinal modifications on load distributions is investigated along with various loading conditions. This study yields an in-depth understanding of the multi-tooth contact characteristics of cycloid drives and provides an effective tool for extensive parameter sensitivity analysis and design optimization studies.
