The computational schemes of the model are presented. A mathematical model describing the dynamics is developed: generator casing, inertial mass, nonlinear contact/impact. The mathematical model is implemented by the Runge-Kutta numerical method in the Matlab system. Analysis of experimental and modeling results is performed: comparison of generator eigen frequencies, the logarithmic decrement and the damping coefficient – the error is in range of 5%.

Therefore, a new scheme based on Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and second-generation wavelet (SGW) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, VMD can decompose accurately and adaptively a complex multi-component signal into a set of IMF component with narrow band properties.Secondly, on the basis of kurtosis and cross-correlation analysis, the optimum signal components obtained by the VMD are selected to filter and to reconstruct the analysis signal. Then, (SGW) approach is used to eliminate the strong noise background and enhance the periodic impact in the optimum IMF components. Lastly, the accurate characteristic defect frequency can be obtained by using envelope spectrum of the reconstructing signal. The success of the proposed approach is verified by analysis the vibration signals of bearings with an outer race, an inner race and a rolling element faults, respectively. The results indicate that the scheme is feasible and useful for extracting the bearings fault features.","PeriodicalId":54741,"journal":{"name":"Mechanika","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46643132","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 influence of the number of plugs, staggering angle, inlet pressure and swashplate inclination on the individual moments applied to the cylinder block was analyzed. The results show: when the number of pistons in the inner and external emissions is the same, the cylinder block is subjected to a periodic pulsation of each moment and odd-numbered pistons have a higher frequency of torque fluctuations than even-numbered pistons. With increasing intersection angle, the pulsation rate of the torque around the x and y axes tends to increase and then decrease but the output torque varies in the opposite direction; The inlet pressure can increase the torque pulsation rate of the cylinder block in equal proportion. When the inclination angle of the inner and external swashplate is not the same, the reasonable selection of different inner and external swashplate inclination angles can make the overturning torque generated by the inner and external emissions offset and increase, so that the overturning torque of the cylinder block is reduced.","PeriodicalId":54741,"journal":{"name":"Mechanika","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42917792","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}

If they are treated to a greater quantity of milling, they are more resistant to deformation. As a result, the stability of the work parts degrades, and the surface roughness increases as a result of this factor. This work proposes the use of a well-designed fixture with support heads to lessen the deformation produced by square thin-walled aluminium plate milling. The suggested fixture system's support heads are comprised of high-carbon steel. The milling experiment is carried out in a CNC Machining centre under machining settings similar to DEFORM 3D-Simulation. The experimental results are validated by measuring surface roughness with the SURFTEST SJ-210 portable Surface Roughness tester in two scenarios: without and with fixtures used during the milling operation. As a result of employing this fixture with support heads to reduce deformation, surface roughness values are reduced by a minimum of 3% to a maximum of 19%.

Firstly, the suspension geometry, which satisfies the required conditions of minimum deviation of camber angle and track width during wheel travel, is obtained within the given design volume by using Multibody Systems (MBS) and Design of Experiments (DOE) approaches. Subsequently, the kinetic analysis is carried out for the suspension system and the critical design loads that may act on the structural elements are determined. Taking these loads into account, the mechanical design of the suspension system elements is performed. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is applied to the complete suspension system for the chosen critical load conditions. Stress concentrated regions on the crucial system elements are determined and improvements are indicated, which result in the reduction of stress concentrations. In the last part of the study, prototyping and fatigue tests are carried out. Throughout bench tests, in which real service conditions are simulated, no failure of any sort is encountered.

The standard specimen measured the static mechanical properties of Aermet100 steel, based on which the basic mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of the sample before and after necking was obtained. To take the strain rate effect into account, this study uses the dynamic constitutive model Johnson-Cook. The equation parameters are fitted through dynamic mechanical tests and quasi-static tests. This model is input into ABAQUS user-defined program afterward. Referring to the work done above, along with the extended finite element method (XFEM), this study establishes the dynamic fracture finite element model of the Aermet100 steel specimen on the basis of the continuous damage mechanics. Five groups of specimen fatigue tests were carried out in the laboratory. Simulation results show the feasibility and accuracy of the integrated XFEM model with the same loading and boundary conditions. The experimental data and simulation results prove that, in the loading time range of 0.0001 ~ 1s, the life cycles increase as the loading rate increases.
