Abstract: A synchronization control strategy with cross-coupling concept for tracked vehicle with hydrostatic drive is developed and compared with a leader-following control strategy, aiming to achieve stable straight running. Associating with the basic controller, the two kinds of synchronization controllers are designed. Dynamic system model containing the control strategy for entire tracked vehicle is modeled in MATLAB/Simulink, the results of simulation indicate that, compared with leader-following control strategy, the cross-coupling strategy can restrain synchronization error more effectively and make the system more stable obviously under external disturbances by coordinates the motion of two drive loops simultaneously.

Abstract: This article aims to improve the accuracy of gas flow measurement of cone flowmeter and get a high-precision expansibility factor calculation model with wide applicable pressure range and different upstream side pressure. The experimental research was based on the DN50 and DN100 two sets of V-Cone flowmeter designed by Tianjin University. As the standard gas flow facility by means of critical flow venturi nozzles was insufficient supply capacity and poor pressure stability in positive pressure method, the experimental data obtained from standard gas flow facility by using negative pressure method was used to fit out the V-Cone flowmeter expansibility factor calculation model --TJU-2012 model. The model was tested with the experimental data obtained from the standard gas flow facility and compared with other four cone flowmeter expansibility factor calculation models, its maximum relative error was better than 0.9% and square averaged root error was better than 0.6%, both of them are the least.

Abstract: This article discusses how and why the wet gas metering overreading produce for a standard Venturi tube by analyzing the influence of the key parameters of X parameter, the Froude number and pressure. The adopted multiphase model is DPM. The results of simulation are compared with the experimental results of National Engineering Laboratory. The maximum relative error of the predicted overreading from simulation is 5.14% and the average relative error is less than 2.8%.

The rubber roller’s deformation and ink transferring rate under different conditions are got, and factors, such as rotation velocity, deformation of rubber roller, ink layer thickness between two rollers, which affect the ink flow and transferring rate are analyzed.

This paper described the basic components and established the AMEsim model of the test platform, while we simulated the test platform based on AMEsim and researched the dynamic characteristics of the test platform and analyzed the energy loss of the system.

Abstract: The gas presented in the discharge gap which was generated by the decomposition and vaporization of the dielectric due to the extremely high temperature in the EDM process plays an important role in the aspect of EDM performance. In this paper, the relative gas volume in the discharge gap is investigated when water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion was used as dielectric. Parameters, such as peak current, pulse duration, water content of the W/O emulsion were researched. Experimental results show that the relative gas volume in the discharge gap was significantly affected by discharge energy. Besides the discharge energy, water content of W/O emulsion is another significant factor that affects the gas volume in the discharge gap.

Abstract: In this paper, 3D finite element numerical simulation was used on the flow in the XXXX melt pump with POLYFLOW. By numerical simulation analysis on the flow field in the melt pump, distribution characteristics of pressure, flow velocity vectors and shear rate in the melt pump were obtained. Finally, the effects of inflow rate on the pressure difference between the exit and the entrance of the melt pump were investigated by analyzing the pressure field of the melt pump, which could be used to guide the design of melt pump and the plastics molding process.

Abstract: In order to study the relation between tactile sense and finger pad deformation during a tactile exploration task, a non-contact technique to measure the finger pad deformation was proposed in this paper. The finger pad deformation can be measured with high temporal and spatial resolution via laser displacement sensor installed on an XY movement workbench. The experimental results of the finger pad deformation in different conditions show that the characteristic of finger skin is viscoelastic. The parameters of viscoelastic model can be calculated by fitting method using the Kelvin model. They are helpful for modeling the mechanoreceptor responses in skin to improve the understanding of the mechanical behavior of the finger pad and of the relation between mechanical stimuli and tactile perception.
