The producing mechanism of surface roughness is explained with three aspects concretely including the principle error of rapid prototyping （RP） process, the inherent characteristics of FDM process, and some mi- cro-scratches on the surface of the extruded fiber. Based on the micro-characters of section shape of the FDM prototype, a physical model reflecting the outer shape characters is abstracted. With the physical simplified and deduced, the evaluating equations of surface roughness are acquired. According to the FDM sample parts with special design for experimental measurement, the real surface roughness values of different inclined planes are obtained. And the measuring values of surface roughness are compared with the calculation values. Furthermore, the causes of surface roughness deviation between measuring values and calculation values are respectively analyzed and studied. With the references of analytic conclusions, the measuring values of the experimental part surface are revised, and the revised values nearly accord with the calculation values. Based on the influencing principles of FDM process parameters and special post processing of FDM prototype parts, some concrete measures are proposed to reduce the surface roughness of FDM parts, and the applying effects are better.展开更多

Firstly, for reducing the model dimension, three dynamic models for the deploying process are developed, which are built with the methods of multi-rigid-body dynam- ics, hybrid coordinate and substructure.

With consideration of the characteristics of the working processes in the TRPE, corresponding differential equations were established and then simplified by period features of the TRPE. Finally, the major boundary conditions were figured out. The changing trends of mass, pressure and temperature of working fuel in the working chamber during a complete engine cycle were presented. The simulation results are consistent with the trends of an actual working cycle in the TRPE, which indicates that the method of simulation is feasible. As the pressure in the working chamber is calculated, all the performance parameters of the TRPE can be obtained. The major performance indicators, such as the indicated mean effective pressure, power to weight ratio and the volume power, are also acquired. Compared with three different types of conventional engines, the TRPE has a bigger utilization ratio of cylinder volume, a higher power to weight ratio and a more compact structure. This indicates that TRPE is superior to conventional engines.展开更多

There are three flow patterns with different bubbling characteristics and steel surface states in the vacuum chamber： boiling pattern（BP）, transition pattern（TP）, and wave pattern（WP）. The effect of the liquid-steel level and the residence time of the steel in the chamber on flow patterns and decarburization reaction were investigated, respectively. The liquid-steel level significantly affected the flow-pattern transition from BP to WP, and the residence time and reaction area were crucial to evaluate the whole decarburization process rather than the circulation flow rate and mixing time. A superior flow-pattern map during the practical RH process showed that the steel flow pattern changed from BP to TP quickly, and then remained as TP until the end of decarburization.展开更多

First a high level Petri nets method-Xml nets is introduced, which combines the advantage of Petri nets and XML. Petri nets have strict mathematics and intuitionistic diagram ex- pression way, rich system describing means and system behavior analytical technology, and the re- lated powerful supporting tools. XML, as an extensible markup language, is already a information description de facto standard. XML nets could be utilized to model both the controlling flow and the data flow of mobile business process effectively, which consequently enables the analysis and optimi- zation of the mobile business processes and could be utilized to simulate the execution of the mobile business process with the Petri nets tools to improve the system execution efficiency. In this paper, to demonstrate the modeling of the controlling flow and data flow of mobile business process, an in- strument repair business case is modeled with XML nets.展开更多

The producing mechanism of surface roughness is explained with three aspects concretely including the principle error of rapid prototyping （RP） process, the inherent characteristics of FDM process, and some mi- cro-scratches on the surface of the extruded fiber. Based on the micro-characters of section shape of the FDM prototype, a physical model reflecting the outer shape characters is abstracted. With the physical simplified and deduced, the evaluating equations of surface roughness are acquired. According to the FDM sample parts with special design for experimental measurement, the real surface roughness values of different inclined planes are obtained. And the measuring values of surface roughness are compared with the calculation values. Furthermore, the causes of surface roughness deviation between measuring values and calculation values are respectively analyzed and studied. With the references of analytic conclusions, the measuring values of the experimental part surface are revised, and the revised values nearly accord with the calculation values. Based on the influencing principles of FDM process parameters and special post processing of FDM prototype parts, some concrete measures are proposed to reduce the surface roughness of FDM parts, and the applying effects are better.

文摘This paper aims at providing an effective modeling methods for more and more mobile business applications. First a high level Petri nets method-Xml nets is introduced, which combines the advantage of Petri nets and XML. Petri nets have strict mathematics and intuitionistic diagram ex- pression way, rich system describing means and system behavior analytical technology, and the re- lated powerful supporting tools. XML, as an extensible markup language, is already a information description de facto standard. XML nets could be utilized to model both the controlling flow and the data flow of mobile business process effectively, which consequently enables the analysis and optimi- zation of the mobile business processes and could be utilized to simulate the execution of the mobile business process with the Petri nets tools to improve the system execution efficiency. In this paper, to demonstrate the modeling of the controlling flow and data flow of mobile business process, an in- strument repair business case is modeled with XML nets.
文摘Double-sided weld pool shapes were determined by multiple welding parameters and wire feed parameters during pulsed GTAW with wire filler. Aiming at such a system with multiple inputs and outputs, an effective modeling method, consisting of the impulse signal design, model structure and parameter identification and verification, was developed based on MATLAB software. Then, dynamic neural network models, TDNNM (Topside dynamic neural network model) and BHDNNM (Backside width and topside height dynamic neural network model), were established to predict double-sided shape parameters of the weld pool. The characteristic relationship of the welding process was simulated and analyzed with the models.

文摘Fluid catalytic cracking(FCC)is a vitally important refinery process.The fractionation,absorption,and stabilization system in the FCC process is a significant way to obtain key products,and its parameters will directly affect the quality of the products.In this work,using industrial data from an actual FCC process,a model of the FCC fractionation,absorption,and stabilization system was developed using process simulation software.The sequence quadratic program algorithm was then used to identify the parameters of each tower,increasing the accuracy of the simulation results.Next,using this improved model,a sensitivity analysis was performed to examine the effects of different operating conditions.The pattern-search method was then used to optimize the operating parameters of the system.The results showed that the optimized model has good prediction accuracy,and using the model,it was found that changing the operation parameters could result in a 1.84%improvement in economic benefits.As such,the developed model was demonstrated to be usefully applicable to the optimization of the process operation of an FCC fractionation,absorption,and stabilization system.
