Abstract: To study structural characteristics of flying-wing vehicle, static and dynamic model of half wing span, static and dynamic model of all wing span, optimization model were established. Based on associated static test and ground resonance test data, these models were modified to implement static, dynamic and optimization analysis. Results demonstrated that structural bending and torsional deformations are mainly at outer wing surface. Torsion at inner wing is positive, while torsion at outer wing is negative. Total spar axial force along the wing span increases gradually from inner wing to outer wing and then decreases gradually after reaching the inner-outer wing interface. After axial force is transmitted to the inner wing, it is going to concentrate at the rear spar obviously. Structural bending rigidity and torsional rigidity satisfy requirements of both static force and flutter, without flutter problem of main structural mode. Viewed from the optimization size, ±45° and 0° skin at inner-outer wing turn thickens significantly. This can increase structural bending and torsional rigidity, which is good for satisfying multiple constraints comprehensively.

Abstract: This paper introduces the novice concept of “Eco-hybrid Two wheeler” which is a combination of two systems i.e. petrol and electric system. This hybrid vehicle will make use of both technologies. Petrol system will be used for rear wheel drive and the electric system for front wheel drive. The batteries will be automatically charged when the vehicle runs on petrol system and that stored power will further be used for running the vehicle on electric system and so running of vehicle on electric system will be free of cost and pollution free also. The most attractive thing is that the batteries can also be recharged from electric supply.

Abstract: The column of heavy double turret five-axis horizontal milling complex machining center is taken as the object of study. Solidworks is used to establish three-dimensional model of milling machining center column, the established modal is be imported into ANSYS Workbench for static and dynamic characteristics analysis. First, by comparing the column deformation, the stress and strain under no-load and load conditions, which is concluded that column design is too conservative and be optimized. Secondly, the modal analysis was carried out on the column, which provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of the column by getting the first six natural frequencies and mode shapes of cloud.

Abstract: Reverberation chambers are used to create a diffuse incidence sound field, where multiple types of acoustic measurements can be performed. The chambers tend to have a large volume in order to extent the reverberation time. However, this requirement may be conditioned by the cost and the infrastructure limitations. This paper presents the design and construction of a small-scaled reverberation chamber of 3 m³ for middle-high frequency acoustic measurements. On the design, the acoustic characteristics of chamber are confirmed via finite element computer simulation. As case studies, absorption and scattering coefficients of several materials and diffusors are measured. The reverberation times needed for the measurements were obtained by the impulse response integration method. The small reverberation chamber demonstrated to be a reliable tool for middle and high frequency acoustic measurements.

Abstract: This paper introduces the structure and working principle of planar flexible bending joint .It uses compressed air to drive the deformation, which can realize elongation and bending. On the basis of force and torque balance analysis, the relationship between the elongation and bending angle of joint and the air pressure are acquired. Experimental system is constructed on the static experimental device. Due to the errors of manufacture technology, the correction coefficient is introduced. The statics model can better reflect the process of movement after introducing a correction factor.

Abstract: Numerical study of flow over sphere at supercritical Reynolds numbers by SST equations model and DES method based on SST model has been done. The simulation on Re = 9.4×10⁵,1.88×10⁶,2.82×10⁶ were given. Compared with the Results of experiments, the calculations of drag coefficients at Re=1.88×10⁶、2.82×10⁶ agreed well with Achenbach’s results. The trailing vortex structure was shown through the identification method of three dimensional flow field. It had a good agreement with Taneda’s results. The time histories and spectrum characteristics of the drag and the lateral force were investigated by the transient mothod.

Abstract: This document mainly studies the cross-section shape of the box-type telescopic boom. First, the basic structure of the telescopic boom was analyzed, and then, the finite element analysis of the quadrilateral and hexagonal telescopic booms were conducted based on ABAQUS with the same section height, width, thickness, as well as the same constraints and loads condition. The stress-strain diagram was obtained. Comparing to the quadrilateral boom, the hexagonal telescopic boom loads higher, weights lighter, and performs better.

Abstract: Tracking the road or a mobile object and also obstacle avoidance are very important components that must be considered in the process of developing a robotic system. In this paper we propose a mobile platform for indoor navigation, based on a cheap computing hardware, which is able to be configured in two scenarios: the first refers to the movement of the robot on a predetermined path and to avoidance the obstacles, while maintaining the final target, and the second refers to the possibility of identifying and tracking a target. The robotic system aggregates the information acquired from different sensors and combines the computing resources from the mobile platform with those from the central unit. MATLAB is used for all the implementations and tests, to develop algorithms and to create models and applications. The robot's communication with central unit is wireless. Experimental results show that the mobile platform is able to perform, in real time, the following tasks in indoor environment: the recognition of the object, localization and tracking and also the obstacles avoidance.

Abstract: Based on existing analog to digital converters (ADC), this study proposes a simple and reliable controlled phase shift (CPS) method to improve the sampling resolution of a periodic signal. The proposed method uses phase shifted sampling sets of a sequence of sampled periods to increase sample resolution. When combining these sets, the period is virtually sampled with a higher number of samples. The lower sampling rate (per period) alleviates the requirements to be imposed on the conversion time of the ADC. Under the original conversion time of ADC, the proposed method can provide more sampled signals. Experimental result shows the proposed CPS method can improve the sampling resolution of periodic signals.
