The problem of the existing method is analyzed and a new method for generating the global smoothing tool orientation is proposed by introducing the key frame idea in the animation-making. According to the feature of the part, several key tool orientations are set without interference between the tool and the part. Then, these key tool orientations are inter- polated by the spline function. By mapping the surface parameter to the spline parameter, the spline function value is obtained and taken as the tool orientation when generating the CL file. The machining result shows that the proposed method realizes the global smoothing of the tool orientation and the continuity of the rotational speed and the rotational acceleration. It also avoids the shake of the machine tool and improves the machining quality.展开更多

Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of five-axis machining of impellers, it is necessary to minimize the cutter posture changes and create a continuous tool path while avoiding interference. By using an MC-space algorithm for interference avoidance, an MB-spline algorithm for continuous control was intended to create a five-axis machining tool path with excellent surface quality and economic feasibility. A five-axis cutting experiment was performed to verify the effectiveness of the continuity control. The result shows that the surface shape with continuous method is greatly improved, and the surface roughness is generally favorable. Consequently, the effectiveness of the suggested method is verified by identifying the improvement of efficiency of five-axis machining of an impeller in aspects of surface quality and machining time.展开更多

文摘During electrochemical machining(ECM),the passivation film formed on the surface of titanium alloy can lead to uneven dissolution and pitting.Solid particle erosion can effectively remove this passivation film.In this paper,the electrochemical dissolution behavior of Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V(TA15)titanium alloy at without particle impact,low(15°)and high(90°)angle particle impact was investigated,and the influence of Al_(2)O_(3)particles on ECM was systematically expounded.It was found that under the condition of no particle erosion,the surface of electrochemically processed titanium alloy had serious pitting corrosion due to the influence of the passivation film,and the surface roughness(Sa)of the local area reached 10.088μm.Under the condition of a high-impact angle(90°),due to the existence of strain hardening and particle embedding,only the edge of the surface is dissolved,while the central area is almost insoluble,with the surface roughness(S_(a))reaching 16.086μm.On the contrary,under the condition of a low-impact angle(15°),the machining efficiency and surface quality of the material were significantly improved due to the ploughing effect and galvanic corrosion,and the surface roughness(S_(a))reached 2.823μm.Based on these findings,the electrochemical dissolution model of TA15 titanium alloy under different particle erosion conditions was established.

文摘Oxide dispersion strengthened(ODS)alloys are extensively used owing to high thermostability and creep strength contributed from uniformly dispersed fine oxides particles.However,the existence of these strengthening particles also deteriorates the processability and it is of great importance to establish accurate processing maps to guide the thermomechanical processes to enhance the formability.In this study,we performed particle swarm optimization-based back propagation artificial neural network model to predict the high temperature flow behavior of 0.25wt%Al2O3 particle-reinforced Cu alloys,and compared the accuracy with that of derived by Arrhenius-type constitutive model and back propagation artificial neural network model.To train these models,we obtained the raw data by fabricating ODS Cu alloys using the internal oxidation and reduction method,and conducting systematic hot compression tests between 400 and800℃with strain rates of 10^(-2)-10 S^(-1).At last,processing maps for ODS Cu alloys were proposed by combining processing parameters,mechanical behavior,microstructure characterization,and the modeling results achieved a coefficient of determination higher than>99%.
文摘Delayed wound healing following radical gastrectomy remains an important yet underappreciated complication that prolongs hospitalization,increases costs,and undermines patient recovery.In An et al’s recent study,the authors present a machine learning-based risk prediction approach using routinely available clinical and laboratory parameters.Among the evaluated algorithms,a decision tree model demonstrated excellent discrimination,achieving an area under the curve of 0.951 in the validation set and notably identifying all true cases of delayed wound healing at the Youden index threshold.The inclusion of variables such as drainage duration,preoperative white blood cell and neutrophil counts,alongside age and sex,highlights the pragmatic appeal of the model for early postoperative monitoring.Nevertheless,several aspects warrant critical reflection,including the reliance on a postoperative variable(drainage duration),internal validation only,and certain reporting inconsistencies.This letter underscores both the promise and the limitations of adopting interpretable machine learning models in perioperative care.We advocate for transparent reporting,external validation,and careful consideration of clinically actionable timepoints before integration into practice.Ultimately,this work represents a valuable step toward precision risk stratification in gastric cancer surgery,and sets the stage for multicenter,prospective evaluations.

文摘The planning method of tool orientation in the five-axis NC machining is studied. The problem of the existing method is analyzed and a new method for generating the global smoothing tool orientation is proposed by introducing the key frame idea in the animation-making. According to the feature of the part, several key tool orientations are set without interference between the tool and the part. Then, these key tool orientations are inter- polated by the spline function. By mapping the surface parameter to the spline parameter, the spline function value is obtained and taken as the tool orientation when generating the CL file. The machining result shows that the proposed method realizes the global smoothing of the tool orientation and the continuity of the rotational speed and the rotational acceleration. It also avoids the shake of the machine tool and improves the machining quality.

文摘During five-axis machining of impeller, the excessive local interference avoidance leads to inconsistency of cutter posture, low quality of machined surface and increase of processing time. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of five-axis machining of impellers, it is necessary to minimize the cutter posture changes and create a continuous tool path while avoiding interference. By using an MC-space algorithm for interference avoidance, an MB-spline algorithm for continuous control was intended to create a five-axis machining tool path with excellent surface quality and economic feasibility. A five-axis cutting experiment was performed to verify the effectiveness of the continuity control. The result shows that the surface shape with continuous method is greatly improved, and the surface roughness is generally favorable. Consequently, the effectiveness of the suggested method is verified by identifying the improvement of efficiency of five-axis machining of an impeller in aspects of surface quality and machining time.

文摘Blisks with the integral structure are key parts used in new jet engines to promote the performance of aircrafts,which also increases the complexity of tool orientation planning in the five-axis machining.It is an essential task to find the collision-free tool orientation when the tool holder is pushed deep into the channel of blisk to increase rigidity and reduce vibration.Since the radius of the holder varies with the height,the line-visibility is no longer applicable when constructing collision-free regions of tool orientation.In this paper,a method of constructing collisionfree regions without interference checking is proposed.The work of finding collision-free regions resorts to solving the local contact curves on the checking surfaces of blisk.And it further transforms into searching the locally tangent points(named critical points)between the holder and surface.Then a tracking-based algorithm is proposed to search the sample critical points on these local contact curves.And the corresponding critical vectors are also calculated synchronously.Besides,the safety allowance,discrete precision and acceptable deviation are introduced in the algorithm to ensure accuracy by controlling the angle between two adjacent critical vectors properly.After that,the searched critical vectors are mapped orderly to two-dimensional space and the collisionfree regions are constructed.This method is finally verified and compared with a referenced method.The results show that the proposed method can efficiently construct collision-free regions for holder under the given accuracy.

文摘Permanent-magnet(PM)machines are the important driving components of various mechanical equipment and industrial applications,such as robot joints,aerospace equipment,electric vehicles,actuators,wind generators and electric traction systems.The PM machines are usually expected to have high torque/power density,low torque ripple,reduced rotor mass,a large constant power speed range or strong anti-magnetization capability to match different requirements of industrial applications.The structural topology of the electric machines,including stator/rotor arrangements and magnet patterns of rotor,is one major concern to improve their electromagnetic performance.However,systematic reviews of structural topology are seldom found in literature.Therefore,the objective of this paper is to summarize the stator/rotor arrangements and magnet patterns of the permanent-magnet brushless machines,in depth.Specifically,the stator/rotor arrangements of the PM machines including radial-flux,axialflux and emerging hybrid axial-radial flux configurations are presented,and pros and cons of these topologies are discussed regarding their electromagnetic performance.The magnet patterns including various surface-mounted and interior magnet patterns,such as parallel magnetization pole pattern,Halbach arrays,spoke-type designs and their variants are summarized,and the characteristics of those magnet patterns in terms of flux-focusing effect,magnetic self-shielding effect,torque ripple,reluctance torque,magnet utilization ratio,and anti-demagnetization capability are compared.This paper can provide guidance and suggestion for the structure selection and design of PM brushless machines for high-performance industrial applications.

文摘A sudden increase in the radial depth(SIRD)is a distinctive phenomenon in plunge milling.It is typically characterized by a sharp increase in cutting force at the end of the axial feed of the tool,accompanied by harsh machine vibration sounds,which can negatively impact the reliability of plunge milling.This paper proposes an optimization method to eliminate SIRD in five-axis plunge milling.Initially,a five-axis plunge milling experiment and an analysis of the spatial position relationship between the plunge tools and the workpiece revealed that the cause of SIRD is unreasonable tool path planning.Subsequently,using the cutter position and cutter axis vector as variables,an SIRD discrimination model was developed for adjacent cutter positions and extended to multiple cutter positions.Optimizing the plunge milling tool path is considered a multivariate optimization problem that involves determining the cutter point and cutter axis vector.The SIRD discrimination model was used as a constraint function to aid in solving for the variables.The simulation and experimental results indicate that with the remaining volume of material as the optimization target,the optimized plunge milling tool path results in a residual material volume that is less than 60%of the gradually decreasing plunge depth.This optimization decreases the subsequent semi-finishing time of the workpiece and enhances machining efficiency.Additionally,it does not rely on operator experience and facilitates efficient automated optimization of the tool path to exclude SIRD.

文摘Accurately estimating the State of Health(SOH)and Remaining Useful Life(RUL)of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)is crucial for the continuous and stable operation of battery management systems.However,due to the complex internal chemical systems of LIBs and the nonlinear degradation of their performance,direct measurement of SOH and RUL is challenging.To address these issues,the Twin Support Vector Machine(TWSVM)method is proposed to predict SOH and RUL.Initially,the constant current charging time of the lithium battery is extracted as a health indicator(HI),decomposed using Variational Modal Decomposition(VMD),and feature correlations are computed using Importance of Random Forest Features(RF)to maximize the extraction of critical factors influencing battery performance degradation.Furthermore,to enhance the global search capability of the Convolution Optimization Algorithm(COA),improvements are made using Good Point Set theory and the Differential Evolution method.The Improved Convolution Optimization Algorithm(ICOA)is employed to optimize TWSVM parameters for constructing SOH and RUL prediction models.Finally,the proposed models are validated using NASA and CALCE lithium-ion battery datasets.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed models achieve an RMSE not exceeding 0.007 and an MAPE not exceeding 0.0082 for SOH and RUL prediction,with a relative error in RUL prediction within the range of[-1.8%,2%].Compared to other models,the proposed model not only exhibits superior fitting capability but also demonstrates robust performance.
