Abstract: The whole-life design of complex electro-mechanical systems is extremely significant which could satisfy the high reliability requirement of production line and reduce the accident caused by complicated equipments. In this paper, the whole-life of gear was taken as an example to indicate that the sustainable development of whole-life design must rely on the study of few sampling systems. Two research strategies of few sampling systems are proposed: numerical simulation and virtual prototype technology.

Abstract: In this paper, as for the calculation of loads in main bearings in a crankshaft system, multibody system dynamics is used to simulate the dynamic characteristics of the system composed of flexible and rigid bodies, coupled with hydrodynamic lubrication analysis further. The multibody system model with flexible crankshaft of one V8 diesel engine is built in ADAMS software, in which the bearings are modeled as rigid constrained bearings and hydrodynamic bearings respectively. The resulted loads in main bearings using different models are compared. The results show that the deformation of crankshafts has great effect on the values of loads in main bearings, and the bearing loads in different directions tend to uniformity due to the hydrodynamic lubrication.

Abstract: With the improvement of the load and speed of belt conveyor, the dynamic characteristic problem of belt conveyer appears especially outstanding. This paper analyzed the force situation of the conveyer by the discrete dynamics model, divided n viscoelastic properties mass units in advance, then built system analysis dynamics model by vibration mechanics, built modal neutral file of the flexible belt block by means of finite element analysis software, and built the virtual prototype model of the belt conveyor using ADMAS program. It analyzed the effect of stiffness and damping of belt on the starting process by dynamic characteristics simulation method. The simulation results showed that the speed wave period of belt with the smaller stiffness was longer and the peak was bigger, the belt speed easily occurred stronger surge, the transverse vibration of belt conveyor became more violent. With the increasing of stiffness, the belt speed wave peak value decreased. As the same time, the speed surge also decreased when other operation parameters of the belt conveyer system are fixed, with increasing of the damping, the dynamic tension force peak became smaller gradually, it led to decrease of vibration curve peak. Damping coefficient played the important role in decreasing the vibration intensity, the research result offers a new basis for the analysis and study of the dynamic characteristics of belt conveyor.

Abstract: The dynamic model of vibrating system with two motors is established. Through dynamic analysis, the equations of frequency capture of the vibrating system and the conditions of implementing stable self-synchronous operation are obtained. Then the vibrating system is optimization designed based on the conditions of implementing stable self-synchronous operation. The simulation program with proper parameters of vibrating system is run, and the results show that the system is in a good synchronous state. Computer simulations demonstrate that the vibrating system realizes speed synchronization and phase synchronization. The results verify the effectiveness of the optimization design.

Abstract: Aiming at the problem of analyzing for the dynamic performances of the spindle bearings running at an extreme ultra-high-speed in high-speed electric spindles, a model is built by taking the inertia effects and EHL at the extreme ultra-high-speed into account. Based on the system simulation about a bearing on the movements of every ball, the contact areas states and the lubrication states between balls and both ring raceways, the thermal state inside the bearing and so on, the internal state performances such as the movements and the inertia forces of all the balls, the contact forces and the lubrication films and the temperatures in the contact areas between balls and both ring raceways are analyzed in some different working conditions and configurations. The simulation results showed that the main factors affecting the state performances of a bearing running at an extreme ultra-high-speed are the inertia effects of the balls and the overheating in the contact areas between the balls and both ring raceways, which indicates that it can be improved by adopting the ball material with smaller mass density and the structure with a smaller ball diameter and more ball elements.

Abstract: This paper proposes an inverse method to obtain the elastic properties of material. The sum of the squared differences between the experimental resonance frequencies and calculated resonance frequencies from the finite element method is chosen as the objective function. The proposed method presents an optimization method, Hybrid Genetic /Simulated Annealing algorithm, to determine the elastic properties. When the objective function reaches its minimum value, its corresponding design variables are the elastic constants of the material. The inverse method is applied to determine the elastic constants of aluminum plate, Glass/PP laminate, and double coated steel plate .The results indicate that for few elastic constants as an aluminum plate, Hybrid Genetic /Simulated Annealing algorithm has no apparent improvement, but more calculation time in comparison method. While simulated annealing while for Glass/PP laminate and double coated steel plate with more elastic constants, Hybrid Genetic /Simulated Annealing algorithm is superior to the traditional simulated annealing method.

Technology evolution of TRIZ can be used to forecast the future technology in products. These future technologies can guide a designer along the right direction of developing a new product. In this paper, the efficiency-reinforcement principle of hydrodynamic reciprocating sealing is discussed, technology evolution of TRIZ is integrated with the efficiency reinforcement design of hydrodynamic reciprocating sealing element to predict its future structure state. A new cross section shape of reciprocating sealing element corresponding to the predicted structure state is presented. The computational model of the new reciprocating seal element is established with ANSYS, and its stress, strain and pressure distribution are also analyzed. The results demonstrated that the presented seal elemente outperforms the old O-ring seal in efficiency reinforcement capacity.

Abstract: A cylindrical type traveling wave ultrasonic motor using composite transducer is proposed in this paper. A composite transducer is attached to the cylinder on its outer surface to excite two degenerate flexural vibration modes spatially and temporally orthogonal to each other in the cylinder. In this new design, a single transducer can excite the flexural traveling wave in the cylinder. Thus, an elliptical motion is achieved at the particle on the tooth. And the driving force is the frictional force between rotor and teeth. The working principle of proposed motor is analyzed. The cylinder and transducer are designed with FEM. The sensitive parameters of resonance frequencies of transducer and cylinder are gained with modal analysis. The resonance frequencies of two vibration modals of stator are degenerated, and the motion trajectories of nodes on the teeth are analyzed. The result of transient analysis shows that the trajectory of node on the tooth is nearly an ellipse. The results of this paper could guide the development of this new type of motor.
