Accordingly, a DYC strategy is developed for eight-wheeled DDEVs by utilizing a super-twisting sliding mode (STSM) algorithm. Initially, a three-degrees-of-freedom model, nonlinear tire model, and motor model are established for vehicles. Subsequently, the reference yaw rate is obtained based on the reference model of the vehicle to serve as a control target. The DYC strategy is then established using the error between the actual yaw rate and the reference yaw rate as the input. Moreover, a traditional sliding mode (SM) controller is developed to enhance vehicle stability. A second-order SM controller is designed by incorporating a STSM control algorithm to address the chattering problem associated with traditional SM controllers. The algorithm adaptively adjusts the sliding surface and controls the gains based on the dynamic state of the vehicle. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is validated via hardware-in-the-loop simulations.","PeriodicalId":53220,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering","volume":"4 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139439419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The software is Autodesk Power Mill, whose NC Code can be directly manufactured on a CNC router machine. This combination can speed up the production process time to meet the production capacity at Naruna and get detailed, accurate, precise, and consistent textures and ornaments, thereby meeting NCS consumer demand for ceramic jewelry products. The simulation results of the two master print patterns are 141 h, 56 min, and 46 s; the machining time is estimated at 153 h. This research saves about 11 h of time processing.

Surface morphology analysis, resistance to corrosion, nanohardness (H), and Young’s modulus (E) of the coatings were carried out using atomic force microscopy (AFM), corrosion test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nanoindentation test, respectively. SEM results showed a smoother surface morphology of the coatings grown at different process temperatures. With an increase in process temperature, the coating roughness (Ra) lies in the range of 20–36 µm. The corrosion resistance of the coating was found to be reduced with a consecutive increase in the deposition temperature from 800℃ to 880℃. However, above 880℃, the resistance increases further, and it may be due to the presence of more Al weight percentage in the coating. The nanoindentation result revealed that H and E of the coating increase with an increase in the CVD process temperature. The elastic–plastic property indicated by H/E and H3/E2, which are also indicators of the wear properties of the coating, were studied using the nanoindentation technique. The residual stresses (σ) calculated using Stoney’s equation revealed a reduction in residual stress with an increase in the process temperature.","PeriodicalId":53220,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering","volume":"6 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138625582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These turbines are particularly suitable for recovering energy from incompressible subsonic fluid flows. In this research paper, three models of positive displacement lobe machine designed to function as water turbines were extensively examined and compared. The three selected turbine types included the circular lobe turbine, the cycloidal arc lobe turbine and the epicycloid arc lobe turbine. These turbines were meticulously designed and developed for their respective applications. Under identical operational conditions, optimization processes were applied to enhance volumetric efficiency and power efficiency for all three turbine variants, each having a different number of blades. A computer program was devised to facilitate the optimization and calculation of blade geometries under various operating conditions. This research delved into the impact of blade geometry type and the number of blades on turbine efficiency and size. The data obtained from the present investigation were systematically analyzed, and the performance of the different turbines were compared. Notably, the circular lobe turbine was found to be the largest among the three, occupying more space. The cycloidal arc requiring a greater amount of material resulting in rotor volume, which subsequently resulted in a higher overall cost. In contrast, the cycloidal arc lobe turbine emerged as the smallest variant, demanding less space for operation. Efficiency-wise, the cycloidal arc lobe turbine exhibited the highest efficiency with two blades, while the circular lobe turbine displayed the lowest efficiency with six blades. Moreover, among the turbines with the same number of lobes, the cycloidal arc lobe turbine consistently demonstrated superior efficiency compared to the circular lobe turbine.","PeriodicalId":53220,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering","volume":"159 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139211660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These chained SPs are parallel mechanisms that are stronger, stiffer, and more precise, on average, than their serial counterparts at the cost of a smaller range of motion. By linking these units in a series, their individual limitations are overcome while maintaining truss-like rigidity. This opens up potential uses in various applications, especially in complex space missions in conjunction with other robots.Methods: To enhance the efficiency and longevity of the Assembler Robot, we developed algorithms and optimization models. The main goal of these methodologies is to efficiently decide on favorable positions and movements that reduce force loads on the robot, consequently minimizing wear.Results: The optimized maneuvers of the interior plates of the Assembler result in more evenly distributed load forces through the legs of each constituent SP. This optimization allows for a larger workspace and a greater overall payload capacity. Our computations primarily focus on assemblers with four chained SPs.Discussion: Although our study primarily revolves around assemblers with four chained SPs, our methods are versatile and can be applied to an arbitrary number of SPs. Furthermore, these methodologies can be extended to general over-actuated truss-like robot architectures. The Assembler, designed to function collaboratively with several other robots, holds promise for a variety of space missions.","PeriodicalId":53220,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering","volume":"26 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139240092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that by selecting a suitable water droplet diameter at the water inlet and controlling the time required for water droplet evaporation and heat absorption, the working range of aluminum-water combustion reaction can be expanded and the specific impulse of the engine can be increased. In engine design and practical application, the design of the water injection nozzle upstream of the engine is critical, and the droplet diameter at the water inlet should be controlled within a suitable range. A diameter that is too large will reduce the evaporation efficiency and hinder the further diffusion of combustion reaction. Droplet sizes that are too small will rapidly evaporate, causing the temperature in the flow field to decrease rapidly, leading to a large range of low-temperature regions in the main reaction zone of the combustion chamber, thereby reducing the overall aluminum-water reaction rate of the engine. In addition, the variation of droplet diameter in the downstream water atomization nozzle has little effect on the aluminum-water reaction in the main combustion zone. However, reducing the droplet diameter can facilitate the downstream diffusion of the combustion reaction, further expanding the combustion range and increasing the specific impulse. Furthermore, it can also reduce the temperature near the wall, which is beneficial for reducing the overall thermal protection requirements of the engine.","PeriodicalId":53220,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering","volume":"51 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139244670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, a flow control numerical simulation is performed on a supercritical airfoil with NASA SC(2)-0714 cross section using a pulsed jet at the chord-based Reynolds number of 1 × 106. The pulsed jet actuation with different reduced frequencies of 0.2, 1, 1.2, 2.4, 4, 6, and 12 is implemented on the upper side of the airfoil surface upstream of the separation point of the uncontrolled case. The aerodynamic efficiency improvements are investigated by extracting the results of time-averaged and instantaneous aerodynamic forces for all cases. The study compares the flow streamline, Q-criterion contour, and surface pressure distribution to examine how the separated flow configuration over the airfoil responds to different actuation frequencies. The results indicate that pulsed jet actuation effectively postpones the flow separation. A comparison of the time-averaged aerodynamic coefficients at different actuation frequencies revealed that utilizing a low actuation frequency range maximizes lift, while a high frequency range minimizes drag. In addition, the aerodynamic efficiency of the supercritical airfoil improves across all controlled scenarios, with the optimal increase in aerodynamic efficiency of 28.62% achieved at an actuation frequency of F+ = 1.","PeriodicalId":53220,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139249417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
