Abstract: This paper describes a modification method which strengthens forms for deriving diverse design solutions in structural design. In the early process of design, diverse design ideas are generated from a global solution search under unclear design conditions. In the past study, we have proposed the emergent design system, which allows a global solution search under limited design conditions to derive diverse design solutions. The proposed system derives geometrically novel in forms, but most of them do not satisfy the evaluation standard so that they are not applicable as solutions. Therefore, if we can modify these forms to applicable solutions, the diversity of applicable solutions would increase. In this paper, we propose a modification method which satisfies the evaluation standard by increasing and decreasing elements, and show the possibility of increasing the diversity of solutions.

Abstract: This paper introduces the principle of the SQP algorithm and how to realize in MATLAB optimization toolbox. With mega watt wind turbine gear transmission system as the research object, the selection of the appropriate design variables and constraints, as the volume of transmission system is the smallest and part of the gear rotational inertia minimum for target function, and set up the optimization mathematical model. Use the MATLAB optimization toolbox to optimize, and then calculate and analysis the example. The results show that before and after the optimization of the system, the volume and the rotational inertia of the gear are significantly reduced. This paper will supply some references for the wind power gear transmission system design.

Abstract: The heat transfer coefficient during the aluminum thin plate quenching is difficult to measure experimentally. In this paper, according to the warping deformation characteristics of the 2024 honeycombed aluminum thin plate quenching, the heat transfer coefficient is obtained using finite element software ABAQUS. During the calculation process of the heat transfer coefficient, the sheet practical quenching process of immersion and the air-cooling has been considered. Using the heat transfer coefficient above, the quenching temperature field is solved through the simulation. Based on the temperature field, the residual stress field is simulated. Depending on the simulation results, the magnitude and the distribution of the residual stress is obtained. By X - ray diffraction method, the simulation results have been compared to the experiment results and they are in better agreement. It proves that the simulation method is available and effectively.

Abstract: Wind power has been recognized as one of the important green energy resources in Taiwan. However, installing large-capacity wind generators needs to meet many environmental regulations, limiting the penetration of wind power to households/communities. In this paper, the design of a novel double-deck vertical-axis wind generator for households is presented, hoping “many a little makes a mickle” and making better use of green energy to reduce carbon emission. The proposed wind generator is an axial-flux permanent-magnet (PM) synchronous generator, which design is different from other existing wind generators in several aspects: (1) double decks for double wind turbines vs. single turbine, (2) silicon-steel-lamination-cored vs. air-cored for armature coils, and (3) axial-flux PM generator vs. conventional PM generator. The performance of the proposed design is simulated with the aid of a finite element software package. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation. The prototype of the proposed wind generator is also compared with a commercial mini wind generator on the market. The proposed wind generator produces satisfactory results.

Abstract: This paper primarily simulates the heat exchange part’s stress and strain situation under the load of temperature and gravity and their coupling impact aiming at obtaining the stress and deformation distribution. The authors took advantage of the method of the finite element analysis to study the stress and strain situation.

Abstract: A novel method of designing nonlinear robust sliding mode controller is presented to a class of nonlinear unmatched uncertain systems based on integral sliding mode and self-tuning law. Firstly, the unmatched is will not be amplified by the discontinuous control. Then the controller based on integral sliding mode is constructed to ensure the robustness. The stability of proposed procedure is proven by using the Lyapunov theory and guarantees robustness against uncertainties. The upper bounds of uncertainties are not required to be known in advance. Finally, simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed controller is robust with respect to the perturbation.

Abstract: Thermal error is the main factor which affects the precision of gear hobbing. The paper discusses the individual feature of gear hobbing machine of thermal error, and uses the weighted grey correlativity to determine the key thermal error source of gear hobbing machine. Based on Least-square method, a fundamental model of thermal error compensation was constructed. An adaptive correction algorithm of thermal error compensation model on gear hobbing machine was proposed. An adaptive compensation method of thermal error on gear hobbing machine was given based on open numerical control system.
