The radial force is a critical factor to determine the sealing performance of radial lip seals.The effects of radial force produced by garter spring and interference on the static contact properties and sealing performance of a radial lip seal are investigated by numerical simulations and experiments.Finite-element analysis and mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication simulation are used.Radial force,contact width,temperature in the sealing zone,the reverse pumping rate and friction torque are measured.A critical value of interference for a cost-effectively designed radial lip seal is found.Spring force is required to compensate the decrease of the radial force because of the interference and used as a possible way to obtain intelligent control of sealing performance.The quantitative results gotten in this study could provide guide for the seal design and improvement. 相似文献
The concept of the Solar Ring mission was gradually formed from L5/L4 mission concept, and the proposal of its pre-phase study was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China in November 2018 and then by the Strategic Priority Program of Chinese Academy of Sciences in space sciences in May 2019. Solar Ring mission will be the first attempt to routinely monitor and study the Sun and inner heliosphere from a full 360-degree perspective in the ecliptic plane. The current preliminary design of the Solar Ring mission is to deploy six spacecraft, grouped in three pairs, on a sub-AU orbit around the Sun. The two spacecraft in each group are separated by about 30° and every two groups by about 120°. This configuration with necessary science payloads will allow us to establish three unprecedented capabilities: (1) determine the photospheric vector magnetic field with unambiguity, (2) provide 360-degree maps of the Sun and the inner heliosphere routinely, and (3) resolve the solar wind structures at multiple scales and multiple longitudes. With these capabilities, the Solar Ring mission aims to address the origin of solar cycle, the origin of solar eruptions, the origin of solar wind structures and the origin of severe space weather events. The successful accomplishment of the mission will advance our understanding of the star and the space environment that hold our life and enhance our capability of expanding the next new territory of human.
In this study, the effects of high-energy proton radiation on the effectiveness of edge terminations using field limiting rings(FLRs) in 4 H–SiC junction barrier Schottky(JBS) diodes were examined in detail. The devices were irradiated using 5-MeV protons at fluences ranging from 5×10~(12) cm~(-2) to 5×10~(14) cm~(-2). Further, the reverse breakdown performances of the investigated devices were measured both before and after irradiation. Proton irradiation initially decreased the breakdown voltage(BV);subsequently, the BV was increased as the proton fluence increased. At a fluence of 5×10~(13) cm~(-2), the BV was reduced by approximately 18%, whereas it was reduced by approximately 5% at a higher proton fluence of 5×10~(14) cm~(-2). The related degradation mechanism that was associated with this phenomenon was also investigated using the numerical simulations of the current-voltage(I-V) and capacitance-voltage(C-V) characteristics of the device. The main contribution to the radiation-induced changes in BV originates from the variations of charge distribution at the SiO_2/4 H–SiC interface and the reduction of the net carrier density in the drift region. Both the aforementioned variations affect the spread of the electric field in the FLR edge termination regions. 相似文献
Pulsed laser-enhanced gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is an innovative arc welding process developed recently at the University of Kentucky. It uses the recoil pressure force generated by a pulsed laser to provide an additional force to reduce the needed electromagnetic detaching force (which is produced by the current) to assure the detachment of the droplet and the arc stability. The reduction in the current needed to detach droplets and maintain the arc stability improves the controllability of the most widely used arc welding process—GMAW—and its application range. To accurately control the detachment of the droplets, the force generated by the pulsed laser needs to be computed. Since this force is proportional to the distance from the center of the droplet to the welding wire, the problem can thus be changed to compute the distance between the droplet and the wire. To compute this distance, image processing method is the most effective way. Hence, different well-known image processing algorithms are implemented to address this problem and their performances are evaluated in this paper. Considering the robustness, processing speed, and automation, none of the evaluated image processing methods produce an acceptable result. To solve this specific problem, a novel image processing method is proposed. It is unsupervised and fast. Experimental results indicate that this proposed method can also achieve adequate computation accuracy. 相似文献
