    YANG Kang1, CHEN Xuejun1, 2, ZHANG Lei3, LIU Feng3
    China Mechanical Engineering    2025, 36 (05): 1065-1073.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-132X.2025.05.018

    The fault data of bearings exhibited significant distribution discrepancies under varying operating conditions, relatively low diagnostic accuracy was resulted in practical fault detection models. Additionally, most existing research on cross-domain bearing fault diagnosis primarily emphasized inter-domain alignment and intra-class comparison, while neglecting the influences of interactions between subdomains. Therefore, a cross-domain fault diagnosis method of bearings was proposed based on joint subdomain contrast alignment. In order to highlight the fault features, the bearing vibration signals were transformed into time-frequency graph by short-time Fourier transform, and the fault features were obtained by inputting them into the feature extraction module. Domain adaptation methods achieved cross-domain recognition by transferring knowledge learned from the source domain to the target domain. During the domain adaptation processes, a joint subdomain contrast alignment strategy was used to bring samples from the same subdomain closer together while separating samples from different subdomains, which aligned the subdomain distributions of the same class samples among the source and target domains, thereby enhancing the models generalization ability in the target domain. Resnet34 was used as the feature extraction network on the model architecture, and the maximum mean difference was used at the output of the network to align the global distribution of the source domain and the target domain. Compared with the classical domain adaptation methods, the experimental results on the bearing fault data set of Case Western Reserve University shows that the cross-domain fault diagnosis method of bearings based on joint subdomain contrast alignment has better feature transfer ability.

    LIU Zhiwen1, 2, LEI Chong1, SUN Kaibo1, OUYANG Basheng1, LI Luoxing2, LIU Xiao3, LI Fazhi1
    China Mechanical Engineering    2025, 36 (05): 1083-1093.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-132X.2025.05.020

    Based on the plate and shell theory, the expression of wrinkling energy and external force work functions of hollow aluminum profiles in stretch-bending were derived. Combined with the energy criterion, the theoretical prediction model of wrinkling was established for hollow profiles in stretch-bending and the accuracy of model was verified by bending experiments. The formation mechanism of wrinkling defects in stretch-bending of hollow profiles was revealed and the influences of geometric parameters on wrinkling limit and morphology were quantitatively studied. The results show that the theoretical predictions of the number and height of wrinkling under three different bending radii are in good agreement with those of the experimental ones. The maximum differences are as 1.2 and 0.55 mm, respectively, with relative errors of 16.93% and 11.28%, respectively. The growth rate of external force work in the bending stages is greater than that of wrinkling energy. With the increase of bending time, the external force work is greater than the wrinkling energy, resulting in the appearance of wrinkling instability. With the increase of thickness-to-height ratio and thickness-to-width ratio of the profiles, the wrinkle ratio and wrinkling number decrease, while the wrinkling limit and wrinkling height increase. With the increase of the aspect ratio, the wrinkle ratio and wrinkle height increase, while the wrinkling limit and wrinkling number decrease. The wrinkling limit might be increased by adding inner reinforcement rib in the profile cavities, while the wrinkling number increases and the wrinkling height decreases.

    A method was proposed for identifying chatters in heavy-duty robotic milling systems by integrating variational mode filtering with fixed parameters, envelope filtering and an attention mechanism network identification. Initially, variational mode filtering theory was applied to eliminate non-chatter signal components in the high-frequency ranges by optimally selecting a quadratic penalty. Then, to swiftly identify the current machining conditions, the envelope filtering method was employed, leveraging signal time domain distribution and the frequency domain mapping law to remove the spindle speed-related signal components in the low-frequency ranges. Subsequently, a network identification model incorporating an attention mechanism was developed to identify preprocessed multi-temporal short-term signal segments for machining condition identification, followed by verification experiments on heavy-duty robotic milling systems. Experimental analysis results demonstrate that by eliminating non-chatter signals in the high-frequency ranges and spindle speed-related components in the low-frequency ranges, the accuracy of regenerative chatter identification is significantly enhanced, achieving an identification accuracy of 98.75%. Compared with alternative identification methods, the proposed method may effectively identify regenerative chatters during heavy-duty robotic milling processes, thus offering valuable technical support for future online chatter suppression of heavy-duty robotic milling.

    Wrinkling instability was one of the main technical challenges affecting the precise plastic forming of thin-walled parts. The stress state in the thick direction had a great influence on the forming limit of the sheet metals during the sheet forming processes. In view of the above problems, the wrinkling instability of sheet metals in plastic forming processes was studied under different thickness stress conditions. The Buckle-Dynamic algorithm in ABAQUS software was combined with solid element modeling to establish a numerical analysis model of liquid-filled compression of fan-shaped parts, and the accuracy of the simulation algorithm was verified by tests. According to the wrinkling bifurcation theory and numerical analysis results, a method was adopted for defining the critical wrinkling time of the plates considering the thickness stress, and the critical wrinkling limit curve was established under the compression conditions of the plates. The influences of thickness stress on the compression wrinkling behaviors, wrinkle resistances and the positions of critical wrinkling limit curve in space of fan-shaped parts were discussed. The results show that the applications of thick stress may improve the wrinkle resistances of the sheets and improve the forming quality, which provides useful reference and experimental basis for the selection of sheet metal forming parameters and the trial production of typical parts.

     In order to solve the problems of C-warping defects in strip steels in the leveling processes, the processing parameters in the strip leveling processes were optimized, and a set of C-warping prediction and treatment strategies for strip steels were developed. The formation mechanism of C-warping was analyzed from three aspects: rolling, processing lubrication systems and the influences of anti-wrinkle rollers and anti-trembling rollers on the forces of strip steels. The stress distribution of the horizontal direction of the outlet strips in the thickness was obtained, based on the stress analysis of the strips under the assumption of half-plane infinite body, the maximum and minimum transverse elongation in the thickness direction of the strips were obtained, and the height of the C warp of the strips was obtained through the geometric relationship. A set of optimal height settings of anti-wrinkle rollers and anti-trembling rollers were sought to minimize the objective function of the comprehensive control, and the elongation in the direction of strip thickness was controlled, so as to reduce C-warp. The model and treatment strategies were applied to a leveling unit in China, and the prediction errors of C warping height are controlled within 10%, and the maximum warpage ranges of the unit are reduced from 1.4~6.5 mm to 0.9~4.5 mm. The results show that the C warpage prediction and treatment strategy meet the production demands, and the warpage values are significantly reduced, which reduces the repair rate caused by warpages.

     In order to improve the forming quality of T-shape tubes, a method of differential lubrication was proposed by using hydroforming. The advantages of differential lubrication were verified by finite element simulation compared with traditional lubrication. Based on the fluidity of materials, the tensile stress and compressive stress of axial and circumferential elements of T-shape tubes were extracted during deformation. The influences of the area of the differential lubrication zones on the forming quality were analyzed. The results show that compared with the traditional lubrication method, the differential lubrication may effectively reduce the wall thickness thinning rate of the sides and tops of the T-shape tubes. Differential lubrication also may reduce the amount of side feed to reduce the risk of wrinkling. With the increasing of lubrication area in the bulging zones, the axial tensile stress of the arm element is gradually reduced, and the thinning rate of the arm sides of the T-shape tubes is reduced. With the increasing of the artificial roughing areas in the non-bulging zones, the axial compressive stress of the T-shape tubes sidewall element decreases, but the circumferential  tensile stress  increases gradually, and the material is more likely to flow to the transition zone of T-shape tubes, avoiding material accumulation in the middle of the tubes, thus reducing the risk of wrinkling. The research may provide technical support and theoretical reference for the forming of T-shape tubes.

    Differential steering based on tire cornering suited low-speed, large steering radius scenarios of distributed drive electric vehicles(DDEV) without steering mechanisms. In order to study the mechanism of differential steering based on tire cornering, a 7-degree-of-freedom DDEV dynamic model with no steering mechanism and PAC2002 tire model were established. Then, the formation mechanism of differential steering was analyzed and a systematic analysis method from the input of differential longitudinal force to the output of vehicle steering radius of differential steering was proposed by considering the tire force longitudinal-lateral-coupling characteristics. Leveraging the proposed systematic analysis method, the stability of differential steering and the influences of differential longitudinal force, vehicle parameters and tire characteristics on steering radius were studied. Finally, a Carsim/Simulink joint simulation platform was established to simulate differential steering under different influencing factors. The results show that within the range of tire cornering, the larger the differential longitudinal force, the larger the ratio of track width to wheelbase, and the smaller the tire lateral stiffness, the smaller the steering radius.

    Aming to describe and avoid different dimensions of risks faced by intelligent vehicles, a two-layer trajectory planning method was proposed based on spatio-temporal risk fields. Traffic elements were divided into abstract elements and concrete elements, the spatial-temporal risk fields of abstract elements based on Gaussian distribution function and concrete elements based on spatial vector were established respectively to represent the environmental risks faced by intelligent vehicles in three dimensions: vertical, horizontal and temporal. Additionally, the trajectory planning problem of intelligent vehicles was divided into path and speed dual planning problem. The longitudinal-lateral dimension risk and longitudinal-temporal dimension risk were accordingly applied to dynamic planning cost function. Then, the path and speed with the comprehensive lowest cost were calculated, and combined with quadratic programming algorithm, the path and velocity were further optimized to obtain the final trajectory. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methodology may effectively characterize spatio-temporal driving risks across diverse scenarios while generating constraint-satisfying trajectories, thereby significantly enhance road driving safety.

    The bolt retreat groove surfaces were susceptible to stress concentration and prone to fatigue failure. To bolster the fatigue resistance of bolts retreat groove surfaces, a specialized rolling tool for the retreat grooves was engineered. The structure of the rolling wheels was optimized based on finite element simulation outcomes of the interaction between the rolling wheel and the bolts retreat grooves. The optimized parameters were utilized to create the rolling tools, and a rolling experiments were carried out. The effectiveness of the rolling wheel parameter optimization was validated by assessing the rolled surface quality, fracture morphology, and fatigue life. The findings indicate that the most favorable residual stress results on the retreat groove surfaces are obtained with a YG8 material rolling wheel with diameter of 60 mm and face angle of 45°. A rolling wheel fillet radius of 0.9 mm produces the deepest residual compressive stress layers, a radius of 1.1 mm yields the highest subsurface residual compressive stress value, and a radius of 1.2 mm generates the maximum surface compressive stress. Trials were conducted with rolling tools featuring three distinct fillet radii, and the extended fatigue life of the bolts is ascertained with a 0.9 mm fillet radius rolling wheels, thereby confirming the optimal configuration of the rolling tools.

    Traditional methods for constructing knowledge graphs didnt consider the contextual constraints on knowledge, making it challenging to effectively represent the complex associative relationships among vast knowledge in complex electromechanical equipment like wind turbines. This limitation hindered the practical applications of knowledge graphs in the production processes. This paper proposed a method for constructing a context-aware knowledge graph tailored for wind turbine equipment. Initially, the method extracted contextual knowledge, module meta-knowledge, and module instance knowledge generated from project customization. Utilizing the SHACL, an ontology model was constructed, incorporating context paths and attribute value constraints, thereby precisely characterizing and extracting various knowledge types. Furthermore, an ontology parsing-based algorithm is introduced for visualizing contextual knowledge subgraphs. Through the parsing of contextual knowledge classes within the ontology, data observation windows were generated for each contextual class, facilitating the construction of multi-dimensional visualization interactions tailored to specific scenarios. Through practical applications, the proposed method effectively integrates module meta-knowledge with project-specific module instance knowledge, meeting the demands for precise representation and diverse application scenarios in wind turbine equipment knowledge.

     To address the challenges of decoupling center of mass parameters in existing end-payload identification methods and the difficulty of implementation on robots with non-open controllers, a torque-balance-based modeling and identification method was proposed for robot end-payloads. The identifiability conditions of the end-payloads were analyzed under joint torque balance, and identification models for the end-payload mass and center of mass position were established. To further decouple the mass and center of mass parameters, a three-step identification strategy was designed, where the load mass was identified first, followed by the center of mass position in x and y, and finally in z. This strategy effectively eliminated the error terms introduced by the projection of joint torques in the identification models. The efficiency of the proposed method was validated through simulation and experiments. Compared with the built-in identification method of a non-open-source six-degree-of-freedom robot, the average error in mass identification is reduced from 0.103 kg to 0.032 kg, while the average error in center of mass position identification is decreased from 50.25 mm to 4.14 mm. Furthermore, compared with dynamics parameter identification, the mass identification error is reduced from 0.179 kg to 0.083 kg, and the center of mass position error is reduced from 10.13 mm to 4.33 mm.

A diagnosability evaluation matrix for the meta actuation units was formulated, which layed the foundation for a diagnostic index. It is concluded with an empirical validation using a worm gear-based meta actuation unit; the findings confirm the method’s efficacy in quantitatively gauging the diagnosability of diverse fault patterns.

    In manufacturing processes, a large number of parameters were easily caused to have multicollinearity, which led to problems such as inaccurate prediction of quality indicators. To address these problems, a feature selection method for multicollinear parameters in the manufacturing processes was proposed based on LLE. Firstly, the multicollinearity of the manufacturing process parameters was diagnosed, and then the multicollinearity was eliminated by using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) regression. Secondly, the LLE algorithm was used to perform feature selection on the parameters after LASSO regression to obtain independent feature spaces, and they were input into the whale optimization algorithm-support vector machine(WOA-SVM) model to verify the parameter feature selection effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through case analysis. The results show that compared with the original data, the proposed method may obtain more accurate prediction results under a lower-dimensional feature space, the correlation coefficient value is up to 0.9702, and the accuracy of feature selection increases by 24.989%.
