When one part usually pinion fatigued, the pair will be replaced. It inevitably leads to a waste of resources and time. To solve this phenomenon, a method to remanufacture pinion with ease-off topology modification is proposed. First, the wheel and pinion were measured to fitting tooth surface, and then a conjugate surface of wheel fitting tooth surface was derived. Secondly, an ease-off topology surface was superimposed to the conjugate surface to improve mesh performance, and then a design tooth surface was obtained. Thirdly, a mathematical model to process pinion was established and original machine-tool settings parameters of pinion were calculated. The deviations between design and original tooth surface of pinion were count, and an error correction model of tooth surface was established to adjust machine-tool settings parameters. Finally, an experimental verification was conducted. The pinion was remanufactured by a face-milled generator and the mesh performance was consistent with design. The result demonstrates the method proposed is effectiveness and feasible. It provides reference for the remanufacture of large-size spiral bevel gears and has good value for engineering application.","PeriodicalId":49110,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42313735","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 structure consists of heat shield layer, load-bearing skeleton, and pyramid lattice structure filled with aerogel to achieve the insulation function. Sensitivity analysis of the design parameters and optimal design of the integrated structure was carried out, and the structure was optimized by using response surface method. Compared to the initial structure, the optimized structure has an equivalent thermal conductivity of 0.0276, reduced by 40%, and a relative density of 685 . 5 kg / m 3 , reduced by 3.7%. And it has a thermal conductivity that is over 20% lower than that of ceramic insulating tiles. Then, the integrated structure was regarded as a homogeneous plate, and the equivalent mechanical and thermal parameters were determined and verified by simulation and experimental results. The equivalence error was controlled within 10%. Finally, a simulation model of the telescopic wing was established. The result shows that the maximum deformation under 20 kPa surface pressure is 3.96 mm. The temperature resistance of the structure surface is up to 1500°C, and the wing internal temperature is controlled within 200°C after 1200 s of thermal loading.

The pendulum oscillates in two directions, θ and ϕ , from which the mathematical model was derived and two torque components in oscillation directions were introduced. They are estimated using stabilometric data acquired by a foot pressure mapping system. The model was quantitatively investigated using data from 19 participants, who were first were classified into three groups, according to the foot arch-index. Stabilometric data were then collected and fed into the model to estimate the torque’s components. The components were statistically processed, and the results revealed that the components in direction θ are able to reject intrinsic perturbation. The frequency spectrum of the components in direction ϕ was processed using fast Fourier transform, and the results showed the feasibility of the component in segregating foot deformities. In addition, high-arched foot cases tended to be more stable than other cases because the exerted torque is less. The torque profiles estimated by our model were compared with the profiles derived from a classical inverted pendulum. In most cases, our results showed a significant change (t-test p < 0.05).","PeriodicalId":49110,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43357758","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 flow of Eyring-Powell nanofluid through a slender cylinder along with chemical reaction and MHD effect is not studied yet. Which is the novelty of current research work. Flow analysis is taken near the stagnation point. MHD effect is considered for controlling turbulence. Rosseland model is applied for the estimation of heat flux. The governing system of PDE’S is converted into highly nonlinear ODE’S by utilizing suitable similarity transformations along with the boundary conditions. The resulting coupled systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODE), accompanied by boundary conditions, are solved using the powerful bvp4c method in MATLAB software. The physical significance of evolved parameters is investigated by graphs and tables. Nusselt number and skin friction are analyzed for several parameters. It is observed that the increase in the MHD effect rises the velocity but lessens the temperature profile and the concentration of the fluid declines when the chemical reaction parameter is incremented. The specific application of the study is that the Eyring-Powell is used in a variety of industrial applications, including lubrication, plastics processing, and oil drilling.","PeriodicalId":49110,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44243772","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}

Specifically, the finite element (FE) models of the regularly-shaped double-hexagonal column (DHC) extracted from original irregularly-shaped crash box under multi-angle impact loading, including hollow (H-DHC) and foam-filled (F-DHC), are first built and validated by experiments. On this basis, a comprehensive crashworthiness comparison is conducted to explore relative merits of F-DHC over original H-DHC under multi-angle impact loading. After that, the F-DHC is multi-objective robust optimized for maximizing overall specific energy absorption (SEAθ) and minimizing overall initial peak crushing force (IPCF0) simultaneously under multi-angle impact loading, using a hybrid method of Taguchi-GRA. At last, a bumper-crash box integrated crashworthiness analysis under multi-angle impact loading is executed to further verify the optimization. The optimal F-DHC and the optimized crash box within the optimal F-DHC demonstrate evident improvement of crashworthiness compared to their respective initial designs, indicating aluminum foam-filling combined with Taguchi-GRA could be an effective approach for multi-objective robust optimization of the novel crash box and other similar vehicle structures.","PeriodicalId":49110,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41724115","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}

During the shutdown process, the diesel engine’s cylinder compression pressure would cause forced vibration in the driveline system through the crank linkage mechanism, resulting in unsteady loads that pose a threat to the bearing life. To address this issue, a coupling forward design method is proposed that takes into account the impact of unsteady loads on bearing life. An experiment was conducted on a 16V280 diesel generator set shutdown process, and a driveline dynamic model was established. The cumulative damage value that connects unsteady loads and bearing life was introduced to quantify the effect of unsteady loads on the bearing life during the shutdown process. The unsteady loads included torque fluctuation and collision forces. The results showed that reducing the driveline key gap and increasing the coupling stiffness can decrease the combined load on bearings and improve bearing life. A large stiffness coupling was designed to achieve shutdown smoothness and a 43.19% reduction in bearing life damage, confirming the design method’s feasibility concerning bearing life.","PeriodicalId":49110,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47299060","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}
