Fan Blade

This paper uses a typical section model to investigate analytically the effect of mass balancing as applied to hollow, supersonic fan blades. A procedure to determine the best configuration of an internal balancing mass to provide flutter alleviation is developed. This procedure is applied to a typical supersonic shroudless fan blade which is unstable both in the solid configuration and when it is hollow with no balancing mass. The addition of an optimized balancing mass is shown to stabilize the blade at the design condition.

Class Of Functions

Abstract Linkages are inherently light, inexpensive, strong, adaptable to high speeds and have little friction. Moreover the class of functions suitable for linkage representation is large. For all these reasons numerous recent works deal with the problem of design mechanisms for robotic applications, but very often in terms of components such as gripper, transmission, balancing. We investigate a new application for linkages, using them to design industrial manipulator. The selected mechanism for this application is a four bar linkage with an adjustable lengh for exact path generation. This adjustment is performed by a track or cam which is substituted to a bar. By this mean, we define a cam-modulated linkage which possess superior accuracy potential and is capable of accomodating of industrial design restrictions. Such a kinematic chain is free from structural error for path generation and the presence of the track introduces the flexibility and versality in the usefull four bar chain. The synthesis technique of cam modulated linkage utilizes loop closure equations, envelop theory to find the centerline and the profile of the track. These techniques provide a systematic approach to the design of mechanism for path generation when extreme accuracy is required. In order to complete an contribution, we take in consideration the static balancing of the synthesized manipulator. To achieve static mass balancing we use the potential energy storage capabilities of linear springs, and integrated it with the non-linear motion of mechanism to provide an exact value of the desired counter loading functions. Examples are worked to demonstrate applications of these procedures and to illustrate the industrial potential of spring balancing and cam-modulated linkage.

Mass Balancing

Presses with mechanical linkages based on levers between motor and ram (path-linked presses) tend to oscillate due to inertial forces as a consequence of the drive parts motion.In this publication a new approach for a mass-balancing system is presented. This system allows to generate the optimal compensation forces needed to counteract the inertial forces by means of four linear motors. The control signals for the linear motors are specified by an evolutionary optimization algorithm, which operates on the base of measured accelerations of the press frame. The control signals of the linear motors are created in a way that the machines oscillations are reduced to a minimum. This way the presented mass-balancing system adapts itself automatically to varying conditions during the operation of the machine, such as a tool change or a varying stroke rate.In particular, the present publication provides the results of the conceptual design and the virtual testing of this approach, which has been mainly carried out with the help of multiple-body simulations.
