Surface reconstruction for incremental forming

In spite of extensive efforts being made with regard to virtual process optimization technology, the production of prototype parts is still a necessity. With respect to the production of sheet metal parts in low quantities, incremental sheet metal forming (ISMF) is a highly interesting process. ISMF allows the production of complex parts with drastically reduced costs in tooling and machinery compared to conventional processes like deep drawing. However, ISMF, with it’s incremental nature, introduces the need for generating a tool path considering both final geometry and process-induced deviations or constraints. Consequently, for the generation of the tool path a (tool path) surface, with an adequate offset, is necessary. That is why, within the scope of extensive research work at the Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Construction (IUL), a special correction module has been developed, determining this offset e.g. depending on the workpiece geometry. This paper presents the algorithm, the application, and the effect on the produced parts. Furthermore, a concept for an extension regarding further constraints like elastic workpiece behavior is presented.

目前对板材单点渐进成形新型工艺的研究多是通过物理试验,从金属宏观位移的角度分析成形过程的一般规律,研究成形参数对成形能力的影响,而无法获得成形过程中真实的变形过程。文章基于刚粘塑性有限元法,应用实体单元,对渐进成形中在直线轨迹和曲线轨迹下的板材成形过程进行数值模拟,分析成形过程中各部分应力、应变的特点,并深入探讨了渐进成形过程的成形机理。研究表明,成形过程中,变形区可以划分为4个具有显著差异的区域考察变形特点;在工具头局部成形时,变形金属在压应力的作用下变形,具有更高的成形极限。

Synchronization for linear singularly perturbed complex networks with coupling delays

This paper is concerned with the synchronization problem about linear singularly perturbed complex network system with coupling delay. The sufficient delay-dependent conditions for the synchronization of the network are established by introducing an equivalent network system with the Lyapunov stability theory. These conditions, which are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities, can be solved efficiently by the LMI toolbox of MATLAB. A simulation example is provided to show the validity of the proposed the synchronization conditions of the whole network.

Performance control for interconnection of identical systems: Application to PLL network design

In this paper, the problem of the control law design for interconnected identical systems ensuring the global stability and the global performance properties is under consideration. Inspired by the decentralized control law design methodology using the dissipativity input–output approach, the problem is reduced to the problem of satisfying two conditions: (i) the condition on the interconnection and (ii) the condition on the local subsystem dynamics. Both problems are efficiently solved applying a (quasi‐) convex LMI optimization and standard H_∞ synthesis. The proposed design methodology is applied to the control law design of a synchronous PLL network. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synchronization of a class of nonlinear network flow systems

In this paper, we consider the synchronization of a class of nonlinear network flow systems. Motivated by air distribution problem in air conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) systems, we propose a class of coupled nonlinear multi‐agent systems that can model a wide class of network flow systems, including air flow in ACMV systems, water flow in irrigation systems, traffic flow in transportation systems, and so on. Then we consider the synchronization problem for the class of nonlinear multi‐agent systems and propose cooperative controllers for the system. Based on graph theory, we derive conditions on the initial values of the state and the control input such that synchronization can be achieved. An application to air ventilation is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the cooperative controllers. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Incremental subgradient method for nonsmooth convex optimization with fixed point constraints

This paper proposes an incremental subgradient method for solving the problem of minimizing the sum of nondifferentiable, convex objective functions over the intersection of fixed point sets of nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space. The proposed algorithm can work in nonsmooth optimization over constraint sets onto which projections cannot be always implemented, whereas the conventional incremental subgradient method can be applied only when a constraint set is simple in the sense that the projection onto it can be easily implemented. We first study its convergence for a constant step size. The analysis indicates that there is a possibility that the algorithm with a small constant step size approximates a solution to the problem. Next, we study its convergence for a diminishing step size and show that there exists a subsequence of the sequence generated by the algorithm which weakly converges to a solution to the problem. Moreover, we show the whole sequence generated by the algorithm with a diminishing step size strongly converges to the solution to the problem under certain assumptions. We also give examples of real applied problems which satisfy the assumptions in the convergence theorems and numerical examples to support the convergence analyses.     

Control of Julia Sets in Generalized Alternated System

In this paper, we first introduce the generalized alternated system. The definition of the Julia set in the generalized alternated system is given, which is called a generalized alternated Julia set. Then, we achieve the control of generalized alternated Julia sets by applying the classic control methods, which are gradient control and optimal control. In addition, the synchronization between two different generalized alternated Julia sets is implemented using gradient control and optimal control. The simulations illustrate the effectiveness and correctness of these two control methods, and the results are displayed in 2D computer graphics.
