Damping oscillations in a wire bending process

This paper presents an approach to modify CAD/CAM generated motion profiles for wire bending machines, in order to damp wire oscillations without decreasing machine throughput. Two different methodologies are presented, both leveraging on a simple and easily identifiable model of wire oscillations, the first one based on a filtering approach, the second one on an optimisation approach. The two methodologies are both characterised by a low computational complexity, allowing them to be integrated directly in the bending machine user interface, and can rely on a standard camera to identify wire oscillation parameters. A thorough experimental validation of the approaches is also presented, showing promising results in damping oscillations with wires of different materials.     

Torque and bending moment acting on a flexible shaft agitated by disk turbines in a gas–liquid stirred vessel

The torque and bending moment acting on a flexible overhung shaft in a gas–liquid stirred vessel agitated by a Rushton turbine and three different curved-blade disk turbines(half circular blades disk turbine, half elliptical blades disk turbine, and parabolic blades disk turbine) were experimentally measured by a customized moment sensor. The results show that the amplitude distribution of torque can be fitted by a symmetric bimodal distribution for disk turbines, and generally the distribution is more dispersive as the blade curvature or the gas flow rate increases. The amplitude distribution of shaft bending moment can be fitted by an asymmetric Weibull distribution for disk turbines. The relative shaft bending moment manifests a "rising-falling-rising" trend over the gas flow number, which is a corporate contribution of the unstable gas–liquid flow around the impeller, the gas cavities behind the blades, and the direct impact of gas on the impeller. And the "falling" stage is greater and lasts wider over the gas flow number for Rushton turbine than for the curved-blade disk turbines.     

Theoretical analysis and test verification of pull-out forces in shear connectors of composite beam under negative bending moment

Abstract

A mechanical model of steel-concrete composite beams considering horizontal slip and vertical pull-out effects under negative bending moment was established based on the theory of elastic deformation. By using the principle of force equilibrium and deformation compatibility condition, the differential equation was derived and deduced using computational calculation program, in which the formula of the pull-out force in shear connectors under negative bending moment was obtained. The experiment was conducted in order to verify the reliability of theoretical results. The results show: under the same load condition, the pull-out force of a single stud increases with the increase of the stud spacing. All the theoretical results were verified by comparing with experiment results to illustrate the accuracy and reliability of the calculation method. It provides a theoretical reference for the study of the interface interaction considering horizontal slip and vertical pull-out effect in the negative bending moment region of continuous composite beams.

Rubber's dissipated energy quantification used in vibratory insulation and protection systems

In vibratory protection and insulation systems, the major problem consist to choose suitable passive elements (spring, damper, others), which are inserted between the resonator and the exciter which have the role of preventing or reducing the transmission of dynamic forces. This work consists of characterizing a synthetic rubber (SR) sample of hollow circular shape (design requirement) by determining the coefficient of energy dissipation at an average ambient temperature of 20°C with a humidity of 25%. The mechanical load and discharge tests make it possible to draw hysteresis curves through which the dissipation coefficient will be determined, the load values is between 500 and 1000 N, with 30, 60, and 90 mm/min loading speeds and a number of cycles 2, 3, and 5, these values have been chosen so as not to cause the effect of cyclic hardening and softening and also to take into consideration, that the vibration limits movement at 3 cycles, which makes this test different from other tests such as fatigue. The processing of different curves, allows to determine energy dissipation coefficient of rubber specimen and also to examine its variation as a function of load, loading speed, and number of cycles; it is possible to determine other characteristics from this coefficient, such as, damping ratio, dynamic amplification factor, and so on, necessary to study efficiency of protection systems, design, and manufacture, based on the curve of transmissibility of dynamic forces to evaluate performance rubber conditions use.

New ways to improve the damping properties in high‐performance thermoplastic vulcanizates

The incorporation of viscoelastic materials represents an effective strategy to reduce the vibratory level of structural components. Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are a special type of viscoelastic material that combines the elastomeric properties of rubbers with the easy processing of thermoplastics. In the present work, we propose innovative ways to improve the damping properties of high‐performance TPVs by using rubbers with carboxylic functionalities. For that, TPVs from physical blends of carboxylated hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (XHNBR) and polyamide 6 (PA6) were prepared. The chain dynamics of different mixed crosslink systems containing peroxide, metal oxides and hindered phenolic antioxidants were investigated in order to find the most suitable strategy to design a high‐performance TPV system with upgraded damping properties. The results indicate that the damping performance of the TPV system can be tailored by controlling the type and magnitude of the bonding interactions between the mixed crosslink system and the XHNBR rubber phase. Therefore, this study demonstrates the potential of TPV systems containing carboxylic rubbers as high‐performance damping materials. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry     

近似完全匹配层边界条件吸收效果分析及衰减函数的改进

完全匹配层边界条件存在两个问题，一是如何减少实际应用带来的额外存储量以及提升计算速度，另一个是如何提升匹配层的吸收效果。对于第一个问题发展了多种非分裂形式，本文采用一种直接对波场进行变换的新型非分裂方法，相比卷积完全匹配层具有不改变方程的形式以及易于实现等优势。对于如何进一步提升完全匹配层吸收效果，没有太大的进展。这是因为离散差异使匹配层的吸收问题更为复杂，一般采取增加匹配层层数的措施缩小离散差，但是又会导致计算量和存储量的增加。本文以在不增加匹配层层数以及不减小理论误差的情况下减小离散差异所带来的虚假反射为目的，分析传统的衰减因子，研究匹配层的吸收机理，设计新的衰减因子，以提高完全匹配层的吸收性能。新衰减因子能够进一步削弱虚假反射振幅，在匹配层层数为5~20层时，对应的边界反射振幅只有改进前的40%~80%。
