Dynamic analysis for the energy storage flywheel system

A subcritical or supercritical rotor is often employed to improve the energy storage efficiency of flywheel systems. Consequently, it is necessary to introduce Squeeze film dampers (SFD) in the rotor-bearing system to suppress the lateral vibration of the rotor. Although the dynamic behavior of the rotor-bearing system can be investigated in a timely manner with ANSYS software, it is difficult, if not impossible, to directly solve the unbalance responses by the Full method (FM) offered by ANSYS package. The reason is because the stiffness and the damping coefficients of the SFD, which are required in the computation, are in fact functions of eccentricity ratio determined by the unbalance responses. In this paper, the model of the flywheel system was firstly analyzed by QR damped method. Campbell diagram and critical speeds were then obtained from the results. Natural frequencies and their corresponding mode shapes at the rotational speed of 0.1rad·s^-1 were also calculated. Then, the unbalance responses of rotor-bearing system with SFD support were solved through iteration and through the FM with ANSYS Parametric design language routine. The comparison between the calculated unbalance responses and the experimental responses indicates that the dynamic model is valid.     

固溶处理对新型镍钴基高温合金显微组织及力学性能的影响

采用OM、SEM和拉伸试验等研究了固溶温度和固溶时间对新型镍钴基高温合金组织及力学性能的影响。结果表明,晶粒尺寸变化与一次γ′相含量变化一致,固溶温度低于1110℃时,随着固溶温度升高或固溶时间延长,残留的一次γ′相钉扎晶界,晶粒尺寸增加较缓。固溶温度为1110℃时,延长固溶时间至4 h时,一次γ′相基本回溶,晶粒尺寸迅速增加,进一步延长固溶时间至6 h时,晶粒尺寸增加减缓,即合金中一次γ′相的全溶温度为1110℃。合金在1100℃固溶4 h和双级时效处理(670℃×24 h,空冷+780℃×16 h,空冷)后的抗拉强度和屈服强度达到最大值,分别为1584 MPa和1104 MPa。因此,合金的固溶温度宜选取为1100℃,固溶时间宜选取为4 h。     

Improving the Mechanical Properties of Mg-Gd-Y-Ag-Zr Alloy via Pre-Strain and Two-Stage Ageing

In this study, we investigated the effects of single-stage ageing (SSA), two-stage ageing (TSA), 2% pre-strain + single-stage ageing (P2%SSA) and 2% pre-strain + two-stage ageing (P2%TSA) on the mechanical properties of as-extruded Mg–8Gd–3Y–0.5Ag–0.5Zr alloy (E alloy). Compared with the SSA treatment, the TSA treatment increased the number density of $\beta ^{\prime}$ phase. The P2%SSA and P2%TSA treatments generated the $\gamma ^{\prime}$ phase and chain-like precipitates in addition to the $\beta ^{\prime}$ phase. The contributions of these ageing treatments to the alloy strengthening can be ranked as P2%TSA > P2%SSA > TSA > SSA, because the increments in the tensile yield strength were estimated to be 199 MPa > 148 MPa > 144 MPa > 110 MPa. Different from the traditional strengthening of $\beta ^{\prime}$ phase in the E + SSA and E + TSA alloys, the composite precipitates comprising the $\beta ^{\prime}$ phase, $\gamma ^{\prime}$ phase and chain-like precipitates in the E + P2%SSA and E + P2%TSA alloys provided better combined strengthening effect. The $\beta ^{\prime}$ phase was still dominated in the strengthening effect of the composite precipitates. Owing to the higher number density of $\beta ^{\prime}$ phase in the composite precipitates, the E + P2%TSA alloy exhibited the better mechanical performance as compared with the E + P2%SSA alloy. Finally, the E + P2%TSA alloy had the ultimate tensile strength of 452 MPa, the tensile yield strength of 401 MPa and elongation to failure of 3.3%.

Effects of the configuration of a baffle–avalanche wall system on rock avalanches in Tibet Zhangmu: discrete element analysis

Rock avalanches with a high mobility and kinetic energy pose a potential geological risk to surrounding buildings. Baffles and avalanche walls are effective ways to protect these buildings. However, the primary focus of previous studies has been on baffles or avalanche walls alone, and there have been very few studies investigating the effectiveness of a combination of baffles and avalanche walls as a countermeasure against rock avalanches. In addition, previous studies on lab-scale tests and numerical analyses often did not take the actual topography effects into consideration. In this study we adopted a numerical simulation approach based on an actual project in the town of Zhangmu, Tibet, with the aim to investigate the effect of different configurations of a combined baffle–avalanche wall system on impeding the kinetic energy of rock avalanches. A series of numerical analyses with discrete element methods (DEM) were conducted. First, the effect of three different pile groups on the reduction of the effect of the rock avalanche was studied using the numerical modeling study. Secondly, the influence of the size of the retaining wall on the maximum impact force of the rock avalanche was studied. Finally, a DEM modeling study on the energy dissipation capacity of the baffle–avalanche wall system was conducted. The results demonstrate that an arrangement of different baffle–avalanche wall systems will produce different results in terms of dissipating the energy of rock avalanches: when the wall is long enough to block all rock masses, enhancing baffle density will decrease the maximum impact force exerted on the avalanche wall; however, if the wall is just long enough to protect the target region, reducing baffle density will decrease the maximum impact force exerted on the avalanche wall. The results of this study are significant in terms of providing guidelines for the design of baffle–avalanche wall systems for protection against rock avalanches.

Seam-tracking based on dynamic trajectory planning for a mobile welding robot

A new seam-tracking method based on dynamic trajectory planning for a mobile welding robot is proposed in order to improve the response lag of the mobile robot and the high frequency oscillation in seam-tracking. By using a front-placed laser-based vision sensor to dynamically extract the location of the weld seam in front of torch, the trend and direction of the weld line is roughly obtained. The robot system autonomously and dynamically performs trajectory planning based on the isometric approximation model. Arc sensor technology is applied to detect the offset during welding process in real time. The dynamic compensation of the weld path is done in combination with the control of the mobile robot and the executive body installed on it. Simulated and experimental results demonstrate that the method effectively increases the stability of welding speed and smoothness of the weld track, and hence the weld formation in curves and corners is improved.
