Therefore, a new vertical multistage displacement amplification mechanism was proposed by integrating two compound rhombus-type mechanisms, two lever mechanisms and a rhombus-type mechanism. Analytical models of displacement amplification ratio and input/output stiffness were deduced by energy conservation method and elastic beam theory. The analytical model of natural frequency was derived based on Lagrange equation. The analytical model was verified by finite element method. The analytical model of displacement amplification ratio herein has a high prediction accuracy and may provide a reference for optimal design of vertical compliant stage with a large working stroke. After compared with several vertical displacement amplification mechanisms from references, the proposed vertical multistage displacement mechanism shows better static and dynamic performances, with a displacement amplification ratio of 43.29 and a relative high natural frequency of 561.28 Hz.

Dynamics Characteristics of Rotor Systems under Magnetic Bearing Excitation LI Shengyuan, ZHENG Longxi China Mechanical Engineering    2021, 32 (08): 901-907.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-132X.2021.08.003 Abstract （132）      PDF （4603KB）（102）       Knowledge map    Save To analyze the vibration mechanism of the rotor systems excited by magnetic bearings, a calculation model for dynamics characteristics of a double-disk rotor system was established by using one-dimensional finite element method. The dynamics behaviors of rotor system under different types of magnetic bearing excitations were studied. Results show that the co-rotating sweep frequency exciting forces excite forward whirl mode of the rotor systems, while the counter-rotating sweep frequency exciting forces excite backward whirl mode. In both cases, the rotor system whirls in a circular trajectory. The unidirectional harmonic exciting force may be decomposed into the sum of co-rotating and counter-rotating exciting forces, therefore both of the backward whirl and forward whirl modes of the rotor system are excited and the rotor system whirls with an elliptical trajectory under the effect of unidirectional harmonic sweep exciting force. Under bi-directional harmonic sweep exciting forces, the whirl direction and whirl trajectory of the rotor system depend on the phase difference of the two exciting forces. Research results provide a theoretical basis for the selection of excitation scheme of magnetic bearings when evaluating the stability of rotor systems of high-pressure compressor.

Therefore, the molecular dynamics model for the cutting of Inconel718 nickel-based alloy with ceramic tool toughened alumina based on silicon carbide and the three-dimensional interface model of Al2O3/SiC were established to analyze the interface behaviors of the cutting processes of toughened alumina based on silicon carbide from the atomic scale. Based on the original potential function, the Morse potential function between the tool and the workpiece atoms, as well as between the matrix and toughening inside the tool was calculated, and the interface binding energy of single-phase Al2O3, single-phase SiC and complex phase Al2O3/SiC single interface was calculated respectively. Results show that compared with single phase interface, the complex phase Al2O3/SiC interface bonding strength is higher, SiC toughening can enhance the toughness and strength of the tools. However, during the cutting processes, the workpiece atom diffuses into the tool, and the interface bonding energy between the tool matrix and the toughened interface is calculated. It is found that the diffusion reduces the interface bonding strength of the tools and makes the tool fracture at the interfaces of Al2O3/SiC. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

An optimization model for the steering mechanisms was established by aiming at minimizing steering errors and taking the maximum values of pressure angles and the minimum value of the maximum steering angle as the constrained conditions. The kinematic analysis of an example shows that the forward and the return steering processes of the steering mechanisms with joint clearances have different steering errors and the return steering errors are larger than that of the forward steering; the steering errors at the moment of revering operation increase sharply; the increase of the joint clearance or the inclination of the rack may increase the minimum steering radius of the vehicle. Steering accuracy of the steering mechanisms with joint clearances may be improved by the optimal design considering the joint clearances.  Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Design Calculation and Performance Analysis of Elliptical Corner-filleted Hybrid Flexure Hinges#br# WANG Chuanli, LI Cheng, HE Tao, CHEN Guoyu, China Mechanical Engineering    2021, 32 (09): 1017-1026.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-132X.2021.09.002 Abstract （124）      PDF （6655KB）（87）       Knowledge map    Save  In order to meet the large compliance requirements of compliant mechanisms, a new type of elliptical corner-filleted flexure hinge was designed. Firstly, the formulas of compliance and rotation accuracy were derived on the basis of the Castiglianos second theorem. Under the limit condition of parameters, the structure of elliptical corner-filleted evolved into three other hinge forms: right circular corner-filleted, elliptical right circular and right circular flexure hinge. The calculation formulas of compliance and rotation accuracy of various flexure hinges were combined in a set of equations. The correctness of the calculation formula was verified by the finite element analysis. Secondly, the influence trend of structural parameters on compliance, rotation accuracy and compliance accuracy ratio was discussed. The analysis results show that compliance and rotation accuracy have the opposite trend with the change of parameters, and reducing the minimum thickness is the best way to improve compliance. Then, the performances of four kinds of flexure hinges were compared. The results show that the elliptical corner-filleted hybrid flexure hinge has the maximum compliance but low rotation accuracy, while the right circular flexure hinge has the high rotation accuracy and superior comprehensive performance, but the minimum compliance. Finally, the examples of the elliptical corner-filleted and the right circular flexure hinge were applied and analyzed. The analysis results show that the novel flexure hinge has significant advantages in rotation range and stress level. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Reaserch on Anti-rollover Model Predictive Control of Counterbalanced Forklift Trucks XIA Guang, LI Jiacheng, TANG Xiwen, ZHANG Yang, CHEN Wuwei China Mechanical Engineering    2021, 32 (08): 987-996.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-132X.2021.08.013 Abstract （123）      PDF （9299KB）（59）       Knowledge map    Save In order to reduce the probability of forklift rollover when turning at high speed, a hydraulic support cylinder was designed as actuator to provide lateral support force for the forklift truck. Aiming at the problems of judging the safe region of forklift truck in the driving processes, the dividing strategy of forklift driving states was proposed based on zero moment point. Taking the relationships between lateral component of zero moment point and forklift support plane as dividing basis, and considering the change of forklift support plane in rollover processes, the forklift rollover processes were divided into 3 stages of safe run, danger controllable and critical rollover. In safe run stages, the cylinder didnt provide support force. In danger controllable stages, the model predictive control algorithm was used to adjust cylinder support force and forklift attitude. In critical rollover stages, the cylinder was controlled to provide the maximum support force for the body. This method took a 3-DOF forklift truck roll model as control object and as the basis of zero moment point calculation. Then an anti-roll controller was built in Matlab/Simulink to simulate under European standard working conditions and real vehicle tests were carried out. Therefore, the validity of the anti-rollover model predictive control was verified. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

The results show that when cutting CFRP under the optimal parameters obtained by range analysis method， the kerf depth increases by 3.2%， the kerf width decreases by 9.2%， the kerf taper decreases by 11.8%， and the line roughness decreases by 40.2%. Compared with the dry laser processing method， it is found that the water jet guided laser processing technology has obvious advantages in cutting CFRP. Due to the scouring and cooling effects of water jet， there is almost no heat affected zone and fiber pull-out on the cutting surfaces of the materials. In addition， the optimal processing parameters were obtained by orthogonal test， and the taper-free cutting of 4 mm thick CFRP was realized by using these parameters.
