Factors influencing magnetic polymer microspheres prepared by dispersion polymerization

Magnetic iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) was prepared by a coprecipitation method. Core–shell composite magnetic polymer microspheres with carboxyl groups were synthesized by the dispersion polymerization of styrene and acrylic acid in the presence of magnetic oxide, and dibenzoyl peroxide was used as an initiator. The synthesized magnetic polymer microspheres were characterized with X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and so forth. The results indicated that the product was single‐phase Fe₃O₄, and its average size was about 10 nm. The configuration of the microspheres, which contained carboxyl groups, was spherical, and the average size was about 2 μm. The results of vibrating sample magnetometry tests showed that the magnetic powders produced by different surfactants had different saturation magnetizations. When poly(ethylene glycol) with a weight‐average molecular weight of 4000 was used as a surfactant, the saturation magnetization of the samples reached 69.2 emu/g. The factors that affected the shape, magnetism, size, and distribution of the microspheres were also studied. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007     

Virtual Model Reduction-based Control Strategy of Planar Three-link Underactuated Manipulator with Middle Passive Joint

This paper presents a position control strategy for a planar active-passive-active (APA) underactuated manipulator with second-order nonholonomic characteristics. According to the structural characteristics of the planar APA system, we divide the system into two parts: a planar virtual Pendubot (PVP) and a planar virtual Acrobot (PVA). For the PVP, we mainly fulfill the target angle of the first link, which is calculated through the geometry method, and make the system stable. In this stage, via keeping the states of the third link being zero, the system is reduced to the PVP. Meanwhile, we design an open-loop control law based on the nilpotent approximation (NA) model of the PVP to make the second link stable and the first link stabilize at its target angle. Then, the planar APA system is reduced to a PVA with all links’ angular velocities being zero. For the PVA, we mainly realize the other two links’ target angles obtained via the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Thus, the control objective of the planar APA system is achieved. Finally, above control strategy is verified by simulation results.

     

Chaos-PSO-based Motion Planning and Accurate Tracking for Position-posture Control of a Planar Underactuated Manipulator with Disturbance

Unlike a fully-actuated manipulator, the position-posture control of a planar underactuated manipulator (PUM) is more difficult, but the research on it is significant due to the wide practical applications. The existing control methods consider no external disturbance and are involved in the staged control idea, bringing the problems of nonsmooth control torque and time-consuming. A novel one-stage control approach is proposed in this paper for the position-posture control of a three-link PUM with the first free joint under the external disturbance. By analyzing the coupling relationship between its active joints and free joint, the position-posture control is transformed into the trajectory tracking control. Unlike the general trajectory planning, the trajectories of the active joints are planned to include several parameters. Meanwhile, the parameters are solved using a chaos particle swarm optimization algorithm to guarantee that all joint angles can reach to their desired angles. Then, to obtain the high trajectory tracking accuracy at every moment under the external disturbance, the nonlinear disturbance observer is constructed and a nonlinear fast terminal sliding mode tracking controller is designed. Finally, the feasibility and superiority of this strategy are verified via two simulations.

TWO KINDS OF VARIANT IN SHAPE MEMORY MATERIAL

In shape memory materials,that have been trained to have a two way shape memory effect(TWSM),themartensitic variants are classified into two groups,i.e.,preferentially oriented variants and self-accommodatingvariants.Applied stress may promote or constrain the transition of preferentially oriented variants and so changetransformation temperatures but has no essential effect on self-accommodating variants.According to the pointof view mentioned above,some experimental phenomena during thermocycling of a TWSM device may be ex-plained,such as the absence of synchronization between the plot of resistance change.temperature and the plotof memory strain vs.temperature.     

Effect of binder-phase modification and Cr3C2 addition on properties of WC-IOC0 cemented carbide

For production of fine-grained and corrosion-resistant tungsten carbide (WC) based cemented carbides, addition of chromium carbide (Cr₃3C₂) in small amounts is standard practice. No systematic study, however, has been made of the effects of large additions (maximum 6 wt % ) of Cr₃C₂ as a substitute for tungsten carbide. This study focuses on the effect of hard-phase substitution by C₃C₂ in WC-1OCo cemented carbide. An attempt is also made to modify the binder metal cobalt by partial or complete substitution of nickel. Specimens were prepared using the standard liquid-phase sintering process and were tested for sintered porosity, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and microstructural parameters. Results confirm the findings of earlier workers regarding grain refinement and improvement of mechanical properties upon the addition of small amounts (<2 wt%) of Cr₃C₂. Modification of the binder phase improves indentation fracture toughness and corrosion resistance. Addition of Cr₃C₂ independent of the binder type improves corrosion resistance.
