With the extrusion amount increases, the maximum radial displacement and the locking torque both increase. The higher the locking torque of the hi-lock nuts, the better the anti-loosening performance. However, there is an optimal value of the extrusion amount for the anti-loosening performance. Once the extrusion amount exceeds the optimum value, increasing the amount of extrusion does not have a significant effect on the improvement of the anti-loosening performance.

Pivot Steering Control of Off-road Vehicles Driven by In-wheel Motors FU Xiang, LIU Zexuan, , LIU Daoyuan, LI Dongyuan, China Mechanical Engineering    2023, 34 (10): 1251-1259.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-132X.2023.10.015 Abstract （260）      PDF （6293KB）（328）       Knowledge map    Save In order to solve the problems of large minimum turning radius and inadequate steering maneuverability of Ackermann steering-based off-road vehicles， a road adaptive pivot steering control strategy was developed by taking advantages of the independent control of vehicle torque driven by in-wheel motors. A seven-degree-of-freedom pivot steering dynamics model was constructed to explain the evolution of the longitudinal and transverse coupled motion tire forces during pivot steering， and a quantitative model was established to quantify the pivot steering resistance moment and transverse sway moment with wheel slip rate and road adhesion coefficient. The desired trajectory of transverse sway angular velocity under different adhesion conditions was designed with steering power responsiveness as the optimization objective， and the safety threshold of each wheel slip rate was used as the stability constraint to reduce the steering center offset. The executive layer tracked the transverse angular velocity based on the model prediction algorithm， while the adaptive sliding mode controller was introduced to adjust the wheel slip rate to ensure the stability of the longitudinal and transverse motions. Simulation tests and real vehicle tests show that the developed pivot steering control strategy achieves accurate tracking of the desired pivot steering trajectory under high， medium and low adhesion surfaces， and limits the steering center offset to within 500 mm， which improves the pivot steering flexibility and lateral stability of the off-road vehicles and realizes "fast and stable" pivot steering.  Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Taking a certain type of megawatt-class wind turbine gearbox planetary gear train as the research object， according to the ring gear， carrier， and their boundary characteristics， the finite element reduction theory was used to establish the correlations between the ring gear teeth， carriers coupling points and the corresponding elastic supports， and the dynamic load-contact of the gear pair was used as the interface coordination condition to couple these components， to establish the planetary gear transmission coupling dynamics model. The phenomenon of unbalanced meshing loads and the effects of structural parameters on the meshing characteristics were analyzed. The results show that the comprehensive bending moment acting on the planet gear and the asymmetric structural deformations of the carrier pin are the main causes of the unbalanced meshing loads， and the resonance of the system will aggravate this phenomenon. In the resonance region， the dynamic meshing stiffness differs greatly from the static meshing stiffness. Increasing the carrier pin stiffness and the helix angle may improve the meshing condition and reduce the system vibration in the resonance region. But in low-speed region, that is not good for system vibration absorption. Increase of the rigidity of the carriers connecting plate may keep the systems vibration state in the low-speed region， and reduce the system vibration in the resonance region.  Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Firstly， the first-order Thevenin equivalent circuit model（ECM） of lithium-ion battery was established， and the function relationship between open circuit voltage（OCV） and SOC was expressed by spline function. In order to more accurately identify the ECM parameters， a new kind of with VFFRLS algorithm was proposed for on-line identification of model parameters. Since the accuracy of the VFFRLS solution depended on the setting of the initial values of the algorithm， the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to obtain the initial parameters of ECM， which helped to obtain more accurate initial values of VFFRLS. Finally， the second-order EKF was employed to estimate the SOC of the batterys to improve the estimation accuracy. Two different datasets were used to demonstrate the universality of second-order EKF estimation SOC. The experimental results indicate that the mean absolute error（MAE） of second-order EKF is within 1% when estimating SOC under different working conditions， which proves the effectiveness of the proposed method.  Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Then, the hyperdisk model was introduced into the one-class classification domain to propose the OCHD model. OCHD used the hyperdisk model to evaluate the class distribution of known samples, and the optimal one-class hyperplane was constructed by finding the closest points on the geometric model to the origin, so as to realize the intelligent detection of early weak faults. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by the bearing life cycle data from the university of Cincinnati. The experimental results show that SPCA may effectively extract the sensitive fault information of bearings, and the fault detection performance of OCHD is significantly better than that of other one-class models.

The results show that vibration feed coupled with intermittent discharge may ensure that the electrolyte is updated to an initial state with uniform conductivity distribution before the power is turned on. As the increase of the machining depths， the disturbances of the vibration motions to the flow field are weakened， and the bubble distribution along the process tends to be uniform. For the surface microstructure with a processing depth of 0～0.5 mm， the vibration feed motion with an amplitude of 0.3 mm and a frequency of 40 Hz has a better effect on improving the flow field conditions， which is conducive to improve the stability， surface quality and dimensional consistency of the electrochemical machining processes of the small microstructure on the surfaces of the sheets.  Reference | Related Articles | Metrics
