However, in the actual service process, its core component, the high precision jet pipe servo valve, will produce the gradual erosion of the pilot stage’s receivers and the power stage’s throttling edges, which will induce the performance degradation of the unbalanced barrel pitching system, and finally greatly reduce the performance of barrel weapons. Therefore, a pressure and position double loop state space model of unbalanced barrel pitching system including the core parameters of performance degradation is established. The erosion behavior mechanism model of jet pipe servo valve is constructed, and the performance degradation characteristics of the unbalanced barrel pitching control system under the condition of erosion are further analyzed. Finally, aiming at the double loop structure of internal pressure loop and external position loop, the RBF Network Adaptive Robust Sliding Mode-Proportional Integral Derivative two-stage controller of barrel system is designed, based on which the experimental platform of unbalanced barrel pitching control is built. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical results, so the proposed control method can effectively suppress the degradation of internal structural parameters induced by erosion, that is, it can better compensate the performance degradation of barrel pitching system induced by gradual erosion behavior.

Thus, the workload of the model is reduced by making the u exponent in the e-u function dependent on the geometric correction factor and the crack length.

Based on this, this paper designs a three-stage sealing device at the hydraulic head for the 7000 fracturing plunger pump, and analyzes the sealing performance of the system. The effects of different working loads of the hydraulic head and axial pre-tightening force on the contact force of the seal ring and the stress distribution in the seal ring are explored, and the sealing effect of the three-stage seal of the fracturing plunger pump is confirmed. The results show that the peak stress and the peak contact pressure of the three rubber rings increases with the increasing of the working load of the hydraulic head; the peak stress and the peak contact stress of the three rubber rings during the installation process increase with the increase of the installation pre-tightening force. But the equivalent stress peak and the contact stress peak are directly related the fluid load under the action of the working fluid load; the maximum contact force of the rubber during the sealing process of the system is greater than that of the system working medium under different working fluid pressures. With internal pressure, the three sealing rubber rings can play a sealing role to varying degrees in sequence, and increasing the total life of the sealing body.","PeriodicalId":54741,"journal":{"name":"Mechanika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45568027","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}

This new mode of hydrodynamic bearing has not been addressed before. Here, we present the corresponding multiscale hydrodynamic analysis for this bearing. The inlet zone flow is described by the closed-form explicit multiscale flow equations. The outlet zone flow is described by the nanoscale flow equation. First, the analytical derivations for the pressure distribution and carried load of the bearing were feasibly made by making a reasonable assumption. Then, full numerical solutions to the bearing were obtained to verify the analytical solution. It was found that there are significant differences between the analytically calculated pressure distribution and the numerically solved pressure distribution for the same operating condition; however for the studied different fluid-bearing surface interactions, when the surface separation is relatively large, the analytically derived load equation can be used to calculate the carried load of the bearing. Numerical solutions clearly show that stronger the fluid-bearing surface interaction, higher the generated hydrodynamic pressure in the bearing, and larger the carried load of the bearing. The study not only provides the mathematical tools for studying the bearing but also gives the indication of the strong adsorbed boundary layer effect in this bearing.","PeriodicalId":54741,"journal":{"name":"Mechanika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47634770","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}

As a part of the exhausting process, the induced cement-mill fan (FN-280) installed in a cement plant operates under critical conditions with the presence of high content of cement particles. Over time the dragged solid particles erode the rotating and stationary parts of the fan causing their damage. If one decides on a numerical approach to predict regions most prone to erosion and track the solid particle's trajectory within the fan domain by assuming a one-way coupling regime between the continuous and discrete solid phases, a deep insight into the flows physics within the centrifugal fan is required. With this aim, a three-dimensional numerical approach for the hole unsteady flow in a large-sized industrial centrifugal fan has been carried out in this paper. A fully resolved sliding mesh approach was employed to take into account the unsteady interaction between the impeller and the discharge volute. Based on the characteristic performance curves, the numerical results of the unsteady simulation at four operating conditions are validated with the experimental data. The comparisons reveal that the results of the unsteady simulation are in an acceptable level of agreement with the experiment, demonstrating the validity of the modelling approach adopted in this study.","PeriodicalId":54741,"journal":{"name":"Mechanika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47823579","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}

An external disturbance causes the beam to vibrate, and the MFC8507-P2 patch provides a counter-force to the structure to reduce vibrations. The MFC8507-P2 patch is placed at an appropriate location on each beam to suppress vibration induced by the initial fundamental modes. Modal analysis has been performed to find the natural frequencies and the contribution of each mode to the overall response under dynamic loading conditions. Transient structural analysis is performed to observe the influence of the MFC8507-P2 patch on vibration amplitude with time. Furthermore, frequency response analysis has been performed to determine the impact of the MFC8507-P2 patch on the vibration amplitude of the natural modes. The vibration response has been measured at the tip of the beam and the simulation results validate that the vibration amplitude decreases as the applied voltage increases.","PeriodicalId":54741,"journal":{"name":"Mechanika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48364293","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}

Considering parameter uncertainties and constant or slowly varying disturbances, adaptive law is adopted in the passivity-based controller. Furthermore, super-twisting second-order sliding mode control is used to reject modeling uncertainties and matched disturbances. Passivity theory, adaptive method and super-twisting algorithm are synthesized via the recursive design method.
