Process parameter optimization of lap joint fillet weld based on FEM–RSM–GA integration technique

This study introduces a welding process design tool to determine optimal arc welding process parameters based on Finite Element Method (FEM), Response Surface Method (RSM) and Genetic Algorithms (GA). Here, a sequentially integrated FEM–RSM–GA framework has been developed and implemented to reduce the weld induced distortion in the final welded structure. It efficiently incorporates finite element based numerical welding simulations to investigate the desired responses and the effect of design variables without expensive trial experiments. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, a lap joint fillet weld specimen has been used in this paper. Four process parameters namely arc voltage, input current, welding speed and welding direction have been optimized to minimize the distortion of the structure. The optimization results revealed the effectiveness of the methodology for welding process design with reduced cost and time.     

Exploring and modeling unimanual object manipulation on multi-touch displays

Touch-sensitive devices are becoming increasingly wide-spread, and consequently gestural interfaces have become familiar to the public. Despite the fact that many gestures require frequently dragging, pinching, spreading, and rotating the finger-tips, there currently does not exist a human performance model describing this interaction. In this paper, a novel user performance model is derived for virtual object manipulation on touch-sensitive displays, which involves simultaneous translation, rotation, and scaling of the object. Two controlled experiments with dual-finger unimanual manipulations were conducted to validate the new model. The results indicate that the model fits the experimental data well (with R² and R values above 0.9), and performs the best among several alternative models. Moreover, based on the analysis of the empirical data, the simultaneity nature of manipulation in the task is explored and several design implications are provided.

对含Karnopp摩擦的柔性滑移铰系统进行动力学建模和仿真.将滑移铰中的滑块视为柔性体,滑道视为刚性接触面,考虑滑道与滑块之间的间隙.由于柔性滑块与滑道的接触状态和摩擦情况比较复杂,采用有限元方法建立了柔性滑块的力学模型,基于罚函数方法建立含Karnopp摩擦柔性滑移铰接触力模型,通过试算迭代法判断柔性滑块各节点的接触状态,基于KED方法和Newmark方法给出了含该滑移铰机械系统动力学方程的数值算法.最后,以含Karnopp摩擦的柔性滑移铰和驱动摆杆构成的机械系统为例进行动力学仿真,分析了其动力学特性,验证了本文给出的方法的有效性.     

Photoelasticity Raycasting

We present a novel physically‐based method to visualize stress tensor fields. By incorporating photoelasticity into traditional raycasting and extending it with reflection and refraction, taking into account polarization, we obtain the virtual counterpart to traditional experimental polariscopes. This allows us to provide photoelastic analysis of stress tensor fields in arbitrary domains. In our model, the optical material properties, such as stress‐optic coefficient and refractive index, can either be chosen in compliance with the subject under investigation, or, in case of stress problems that do not model optical properties or that are not transparent, be chosen according to known or even new transparent materials. This enables direct application of established polariscope methodology together with respective interpretation. Using a GPU‐based implementation, we compare our technique to experimental data, and demonstrate its utility with several simulated datasets.     

Woodification: User‐Controlled Cambial Growth Modeling

We present a botanical simulation of secondary (cambial) tree growth coupled to a physical cracking simulation of its bark. Whereas level set growth would use a fixed resolution voxel grid, our system extends the deformable simplicial complex (DSC), supporting new biological growth functions robustly on any surface polygonal mesh with adaptive subdivision, collision detection and topological control. We extend the DSC with temporally coherent texturing, and surface cracking with a user‐controllable biological model coupled to the stresses introduced by the cambial growth model.     

Research in the Development of Finite Element Software for Creep Damage Analysis

This paper reports the development of finite element software for creep damage analysis. Creep damage deformation and failure of high temperature structure is a serious problem for power generation and it is even more technically demanding under the current increasing demand of power and economic and sustainability pressure. This paper primarily consists of three parts： （1） the need and the justification of the development of in-house software; （2） the techniques in developing such software for creep damage analysis; （3） the validation of the finite element software conducted under plane stress, plane strain, axisymmetric, and 3 dimensional cases. This paper contributes to the computational creep damage mechanics in general.

基于模糊模型和神经网络的某扫雷犁系统建模

在实现扫雷犁系统准确位置控制的研究中,由于扫雷犁电液伺服系统固有的流量-压力特性等非线性因素,采用传统机理建模方法难以获得其精确模型,研究了系统的两种智能建模方法,即模糊建模和神经网络建模。模糊建模方法采用基于GK聚类算法的TS模糊模型,神经网络建模中采用了基于正交最小二乘算法的径向基函数神经网络。通过对扫雷犁电液伺服系统进行的建模实验仿真,分析了两方法的建模性能并与其他建模方法进行了对比,研究结果验证了所提出两种建模方法的有效性。
