NONLINEAR OSCILLATIONS AND CHAOS IN A RAILWAY VEHICLE SYSTEM
1998, 12(3).
[Abstract](2422) [PDF 237KB](151)
Abstract:
The study of nonlinear oscillations and chaos of a railway freight car is undertaken. The vehicle is considered as a multiple rigid-body system with 9 degrees of freedom. The vehicle forward speed is taken as the control parameter of the system. Hopf bifurcation point, limit cycles, quasiperiodic and chaotic motions of the system are computed by use of numerical methods. The identification of periodic, quasiperiodic and chaotic motions of the system is carried out by using the methods of phase plane protrait and Poincare map. Numerical results show that chaotic motion appears via the route of quasiperiodicity when the vehicle runs over a certain speed.
NUMERICAL CALCULATION FOR 2-DIMENSIONAL HEAT TRANSFER IN KEYHOLE LASER WELDING
1998, 12(3).
[Abstract](2253) [PDF 165KB](91)
Abstract:
A numerical method is presented for analysing 2-dimensional quasi-steady state heat transfer in high power density laser kdyhole welding processes. The mathematical model is established according to the conservation of mass, momentum and energy. Computation is performed by using the finite controlvolume method in the curvilinear coordinate system. A position prediction-correction procedure is employed to identify the solid-liquid interface location. This method is applied to the study of a typical keyhole welding process of an AISI 304 stainless steel plate and its feasibility is verified.
FLUIDIZATION COOLING OF RETURN SANDS AND ENERGY ANALYSIS
1998, 12(3).
[Abstract](2161) [PDF 244KB](85)
Abstract:
In order to find out the optimal operation comdition for return sands cooler, a cooling model including heat and mass transfer is constructed, and computer simulation is carried out. The results are compared with the operation data obtained from a fluidized bed sand cooler. A method is proposed for the evaluation whether the practical cooling system provides a reasonable energy cost performance. Several key points are discussed concerning enhancement of particles concerning enhancement of particles to air heat removal and improvement of energy effciency for cooling.
STUDY ON PERFORMANCE OF COMPOSITE JOURNAL BEARING SEALED AND LUBRICATED WITH FERROFLUID
1998, 12(3).
[Abstract](2115) [PDF 179KB](148)
Abstract:
The theoretical computation model of the composite journal bearing sealed and lubricated with ferrofluid is established. The oil film pressure distribution, temperature field and heat conduction equation of the bearing liner are jointly calculated. The static and dynamic properties of the bearing under condition of different eccentricities and ratios of width to diameter are obtained and discussed. The results show the feasibility of this type of bearing for smaller eccentricities and width to diameter ratios, and that the oil film temperature, which is more subject to be influenced by the rotating speed, is higher than that of the bearing with leakage flow. The key problem of the further development and application of the bearing is to design more reasonable and effective types of seal structures.
DESIGN OF 6-AXIS FORCE/TORQUE SENSOR BASED ON STEWART PLATFORM RELATED TO ISOTROPY
1998, 12(3).
[Abstract](2104) [PDF 172KB](162)
Abstract:
A model of the solution space for all the sensor mechanisms based on the Stewart platform is established, which is a novel and useful tool for investigation of the optimal sensor design. A kind of performance evaluation atlases are plotted within the model of the solution space, which clearly show relationships between the condition numer of Jacobjan matrix and parameters of all the sensor mechanisms. By using the performance atlases, and optimal design for the sensor mechanism can be achieved. Because the elastic joints are proposed for replacing the spherical joints, the Stewart-platform-based sensor can be designed as small as possible.

STUDY ON PROPERTIES OF RECLAIMED SODIUM SILICATE SAND
1998, 12(3).
[Abstract](2120) [PDF 314KB](239)
Abstract:
SEM shows that flowers-and-like sodium carbonate exists on the surface of sodium silicate sand grains when hardened by carbon dioxide, baculiform sodium acetate exists not only in sand surface but also inside sodium silicate film when hardened by ester method. The strength of sodium silicate sand mainly depends on the point-bridge connecting strength of dewatered sodium silicate film. The performance of reclaimed sodium dilicate sand is determined by the extent of which salinous crystal is eliminated and reasonableness of relevant technological methods.

[Abstract](2157) [PDF 153KB](119)
Abstract:
An error processing method is presented based on optimization theory and microcomputer technique which can be successfully used in the cycloidal gear measurement on three dimensional coordinates measuring machine (CMM). In the procedure, the minimum quadratic sum of the normal deviation is used as the object function and the equidistant curve is dealed with instead of the teeth profile. CMM is a high accurate measuring machine which can provide a way to evaluate the accuracy of the cycloidal gear completely.
