Title: Stability anticipation of milling system with variable spindle speed
Authors: SONG Qinghua, AI Xing
PP: 585-591
Abstract: Equation of motion for milling process with periodic spindle speed modulation is a delay-differential equation with varying time delay. The varying time delay is accurately approximated by the Taylor series expansion around constant time delay. Semi-discretization technique is employed to construct the stability charts of the milling system. The research results show that improvement in the efficiency of machining can increase the frequency of the high modulation, especially for low spindle speed domain. The results, which are the more precise than former ones, are verified by variable spindle speed milling tests.

Title: Study on the rollover stability of articulated steering off-road vehicle
Authors: LI Xuefei, LIU Huikai, WANG Guoqiang, LI Kai
PP: 569-577
Abstract: Articulated steering off-road vehicle (ASOV) is more likely to lose stability because of their own structural changes and poor working conditions. To solve this problem, a 6-degree of freedom (6-DOF) nonlinear dynamics model of the ASOV was established. By applying this model, the ASOV’s rollover mechanism was analyzed in different working conditions, such as turning on the level ground, moving through obstacles, and turning on the uneven road. The results showed that the main parameters which influenced the stability of the ASOV were the lateral acceleration and the roll rate. This research provides a reference for the ASOV’s instability warning and anti-rollover control.

Authors: GAN Fenglin, YI Yawei, MEN Lili, ZUO Shi
PP: 551-557
Abstract: A new kind of damping interval was designed and made by use of the energy consumption and automatic reset ability of superelastic shape memory alloy wire. The finite element models of large span six split conductor of general interval and shape memory alloy (SMA) damping interval were installed respectively by using finite element software ANSYS. Response analysis was made on it after applying pulsating wind load. According to the best performance parameters of SMA damping interval got previously, dancing experiments was guided and proceeded. Experiment environment was simulated to re-establish finite element model. On the basis of experimental data, the accuracy of the finite element modeling was verified, and the best performance parameters of the SMA damping interval were found. Results showed that wave amplitude of the conductor installed with SMA damping interval was smaller than that installed with ordinary interval, which illustrated that the installation of SMA damping interval to the conductor could better inhibit conductor dancing and reduce the wave amplitude of the conductor dancing.

Title: Numerical research on heat transfer and flow loss in a rectangular channel with high-performance V-shaped ribs
Authors: XU Liang, ZHANG Shuai, CHEN Qiang, GAO Jianmin
PP: 544-550
Abstract: On the basis of experimental study on steam forced heat transfer in the ribbed channels, the SSG Reynolds stress turbulent model was adopted to solve the three dimensional steady Reynold-averaged Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations. The numerical simulation was carried out to a rectangular channel with three different angled V-shaped ribs (30 45 60 . To compare the cooling performance of steam and that of the traditional compressor air, steam and air were chosen as the coolants in this paper. We studied the influence of Reynolds number (Re) on flow and heat transfer characteristics and analyzed comparatively the cooling effects of two coolants on the ribbed surface. The results showed that the thermal performance of the 45 V-shaped ribbed channel was the same as that of the 60 V-shaped ribbed channel, while that of 30 V-shaped ribbed channel was poorer. A comparative study of thermal performances of steam convective cooling and air cooling demonstrated that using steam as a coolant had a better cooling effectiveness than using air as a coolant. The thermal performance coefficients of steam cooling in the 30 45 60癡-shaped ribbed channel steam was about 42.0%, 55.0%, 48.6% higher respectively than those of air cooling at the same flow conditions.

Authors: PAN Benren, DENG Caibo, FAN Ruixiang, XIN Jianbo
PP: 528-535
Abstract: The present study proposes the use of a new method for relieving distribution-line overload considering the demand response (DR). By using a response strategy based on stimulus demand, this strategy regards the minimum economic loss from overload as the target function for interruptible load (IL) cutoff. Furthcrmore, the influence of different load-interrupt schemes on the degree of relief is discussed. Finally, the study employs data from a specific domestic demonstration area to verify the feasibility of the proposed method. The results reveal that by maximally reducing the line overload risk via DR means, the safe operation of distribution lines is ensured.

Abstract: In order to improve the rotor position estimation performance of position sensorless interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) control system in the dynamic situation, a high-order sliding mode observer (SMO), of which the state variables were current and extended electromotive force (EEMF), was analyzed in this paper. Then, based on the EEMF model of IPMSM, a full-order state equation in the stationary reference frame was established. On the basis of Lyapunov analysis, a simplified method of designing the feedback gain matrix for SMO was presented. The relationship between the parameters of the feedback-gain matrix and the dynamic response performance was studied specially. The experimental results demonstrated the feasibility of the position SMO with a position sensorless IPMSM control system.

Authors: ZHANG Ke, MENG Xianyang, WU Jiangtao
PP: 512-520
Abstract: Selection of working fluids is one of the key issues in organic Rankine cycle (ORC). In this paper, the research status of working fluids for ORC in domestic and foreign was reviewed. Working fluids for commercial ORC were illustrated with existing problems summarized. Pure fluids at low-middle temperature and high temperature were presented and compared respectively. At last, current research of fluid mixtures for ORC was introduced. The overview of working fluids in this paper revealed that ORC needed a demand of further exploration or the appearance of new invented fluid. Although it was available as an ideal fluid at certain operating conditions, however, no exact fluid had been proved perfectly suitable at high temperature.
