However, the contact behavior of planetary roller screw mechanism varies greatly during the operation process. In this paper, a calculating method for frictional heat of planetary roller screw mechanism based on friction torque is proposed, and a transient thermal model is established to analyze the heat transfer of planetary roller screw mechanism at multiple thermal conditions. Then, an analytical method is introduced to investigate the temperature and the equations of its influences on the thermal deformation are derived. The influences of temperature distribution on the clearances and contact positions of the mating thread surfaces is studied as well. We found that the frictional heat, thermal resistance and thermal loads can significantly alter the temperature distribution consistency. The results indicate that the load-bearing capacity of planetary roller screw mechanism is greatly affected by the temperature differences between the planetary roller screw components. By allowing comprehensive thermal simulation, the proposed model can be utilized for PRSM optimization design.","PeriodicalId":23285,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43536069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A lagged k–ω model proposed by Olsen and Coakley for nonequilibrium effects was first applied to simulate the transonic centrifugal impeller SRV2-O. As comparative case studies, four other turbulence models ( k–ω model, RNG k–ε model, SST-CC model, and EARSM model) were also computed. The comparison showed that ( i) the selection of the turbulence model had a great influence on SRV2-O impeller simulations; ( ii) the lagged k–ω model had an advantage over other models in terms of overall pressure ratio and internal flow characteristics; and ( iii) the lagged model predicted a smaller blockage area caused by leakage vortex breakdown than other models, closer to the experimental result. The detailed parameter examination indicated that the nonequilibrium parameter a0 in the lagged model had little influence on the Mach number distribution and choking mass flow rate but a significant influence on the static pressure on the shroud casing. For a higher Mach number compressor, a smaller a0 is recommended for bettering the simulation accuracy.","PeriodicalId":23285,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41354705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many factors affect cutting heat and cutting vibration, and cutting heat and cutting vibration also affect each other. This paper mainly studied the coupling characteristics between cutting vibration and cutting heat from the perspective of energy power density. A measurement system was built to collect the time-domain signals of cutting temperature and three-dimensional cutting vibration. Through Stefan–Boltzmann's law, the cutting thermal power density represented by the cutting temperature was obtained. Frequency domain analysis dealing with the self-power spectrum density was carried out on the three-dimensional vibration acceleration, and the operation of reducing the vibration dimension was carried out by principal component analysis. Based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm, two coupling models between cutting heat and cutting vibration were established. The research showed that the coupling correlation coefficient between cutting heat and cutting vibration was above 0.6. The coupling characteristics of cutting heat and cutting vibration were strong, and the impact of cutting vibration on cutting heat was more significant. The conclusions provide theoretical guidance for studying the coupling characteristics of cutting heat and cutting vibration from the energy perspective.","PeriodicalId":23285,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49228460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the flow force on a heavy-duty automatic transmission lock valve during the opening process is analyzed and optimized, and aiming to improve the opening smoothness of the lock valve. First, numerical simulation of the opening process of the main oil chamber flow path in the lock valve is carried out using dynamic mesh technology. The influence of internal flow field on the flow force under different parameters is studied. Second, the structural parameters and peaks of flow force obtained from the random sampling method are used as samples for training and prediction using the BP neural network. The prediction results pass the accuracy test. Last, the prediction results of the BP neural network are optimized using the genetic algorithm. Subsequent results show that this optimization method significantly reduces the flow force of spool and improves stability of the lock valve during opening by only changing the structural parameters. It also provides a new systematic direction for the optimization of other nonlinear mapping relationships.","PeriodicalId":23285,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42617682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a novel torque vectoring control algorithm is proposed to lower energy dissipation and ensure lateral stability, which consists of a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and a Proportion Integration (PI) control module in upper controller to calculate desired additional yaw-moment and total driving torque respectively for following desired yaw rate, side slip angle and longitudinal velocity. In addition, the stability objective function considering tires working load and the economic objective function considering working efficiency of IWMs and tires slip energy are established separately in lower controller. The fitness function of coordinating lateral stability and economy is obtained by phase plane method. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with a superior initial population (SIP-PSO) is proposed to solve torque distribution coefficients for torque distribution of DDEV. Finally, simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test results under DLC and SLC maneuvers on lower adhesion road indicate that the proposed algorithm can effectively lower the energy loss of IWMs working and tires slip when ensuring lateral stability under different working conditions.","PeriodicalId":23285,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45893542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overall pressure fluctuation is reflected by sub-signal Sig1, which is composed of sub-signal Sig2 and Sig3. Sig2 exhibits medium frequency pressure fluctuations, and mainly occurs in the pressure rise stage and the pressure drop stage. Sig3 exhibits high frequency pressure fluctuations, mainly locates in the pressure stabilization stage.
