This not only brings strict requirements for exoskeleton control design, but also makes it difficult to improve assistive level. The Variable Stiffness Actuator (VSA), as a physical variable stiffness mechanism, has the characteristics of dynamic stiffness adjustment and high stiffness control bandwidth, which is in line with the stiffness matching experiment. However, there are still few works exploring the assistive human stiffness matching experiment based on VSA. Therefore, this paper designs a hip exoskeleton based on VSA actuator and studies CPG human motion phase recognition algorithm. Firstly, this paper puts forward the requirements of variable stiffness experimental design and the output torque and variable stiffness dynamic response standards based on human lower limb motion parameters. Plate springs are used as elastic elements to establish the mechanical principle of variable stiffness, and a small variable stiffness actuator is designed based on the plate spring. Then the corresponding theoretical dynamic model is established and analyzed. Starting from the CPG phase recognition algorithm, this paper uses perturbation theory to expand the first-order CPG unit, obtains the phase convergence equation and verifies the phase convergence when using hip joint angle as the input signal with the same frequency, and then expands the second-order CPG unit under the premise of circular limit cycle and analyzes the frequency convergence criterion. Afterwards, this paper extracts the plate spring modal from Abaqus and generates the neutral file of the flexible body model to import into Adams, and conducts torque-stiffness one-way loading and reciprocating loading experiments on the variable stiffness mechanism. After that, Simulink is used to verify the validity of the criterion. Finally, based on the above criterions, the signal mean value is removed using feedback structure to complete the phase recognition algorithm for the human hip joint angle signal, and the convergence is verified using actual human walking data on flat ground.展开更多

Based on the complementarity of linkage opti- mization and motion planning, a phase-division-based linkage-optimization model for a drawing servo press is established. Considering the motion-planning principles of a drawing servo press, and taking account of work rating and efficiency, the constraints of the optimization model are constructed. Linkage is optimized in two modes： use of either constant eccentric speed or constant slide speed in the work segments. The performances of optimized link- ages are compared with those of a mature linkage SL4- 2000A, which is optimized by a traditional method. The results show that the work rating of a drawing servo press equipped with linkages optimized by this new method improved and the root-mean-square torque of the servo motors is reduced by more than 10%. This research pro- vides a promising method for designing energy-saving drawing servo presses with high work ratings.展开更多

It is found that the phase difference spectrum influences the response spectrum through affecting the response motion′s envelope function shape of a single degree of freedom system. Decreasing the variance of phase difference spectrum causes the increasing of response spectrum when its mean value curve keeps the same, otherwise the situation is opposite. As the increase of the tangent of the mean value curve, the response spectrum decreases, otherwise it increases. The damping plays an important role while the phase difference spectrum influences the response spectrum. The effect of the phase difference spectrum on the absolute acceleration response spectrum becomes more and more obvious with the increase of the damping. On the other hand, the increase of damping weakens the effect of the phase difference spectrum on the amplification factor spectrum.展开更多

Generally, a reference altitude level is assumed and external Digital Elevation Model(DEM) is required for the scene topography heavily varied. To overcome the shortcoming, we propose a MOCO method based on Phase Gradient Autofocus(PGA) which can obtain well focused images without DEM. In the implementation, we first compensate the normal range-invariant term. Then the data are divided into strips in range-compressed domain and PGA is applied to each substrip to extract the phase errors. Finally, the phase error surface is obtained using interpolation and then compensated. Real airborne SAR data of a UAV-SAR system experiments and comparisons demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The results show that our algorithm is effective.展开更多

It is explained that a sudden drop of friction force is the essential source of stick-slip motion when the sliding is impending. A new criterion for occurrence of stick-slip motion is established. The stick-slip region and the stable region in a parameter plane are separated by a critical parameter curve. Moreover, for the stick-slip motion of the flexible drive mechanism without viscous damping, a parameter expression is obtained. The results may be used in design of the flexible drive mechanism.展开更多

The LD method has the advantages of easily coupling with the direct simulation Monte Carlo （DSMC） method for multi-scale flow simulations and dramatically reducing the numerical diffusion error and statistical scatter of the equilibrium particle methods. Liquidor solid-phase particles are introduced in the LD method. Their velocity and temperature updating are respectively, calculated from the motion equation and the temperature equation according to the local gas properties. Coupling effects from condensed phase to gas phase are modeled as momentum and energy sources, which are respectively, equal to the negative values of the total momentum and energy increase in liquid or solid phase. The modified method is compared with theoretical results for unsteady flows, and good agreements are obtained to indicate the reliability of the one-way gas-to-particle coupling models. Hybrid LD-DSMC algorithm is implemented and performed for nozzle discharging gas-liquid flow to show the prospect of the LD-DSMC scheme for multi-scale two-phase flow simulations.展开更多

It is shown how the oscillation parameters of these elements determine the mode of motion of the system (body). In this case, the motion is considered as a consequence of symmetry breaking of forces in the systems themselves, and not as a reaction of individual elements to external influences. It is shown that such a violation takes place both in the gravitational field and when the system moves by inertia. Examples of the influence of changes in phase (φ) and frequency (f) parameters of the system elements on the velocity mode of its motion in space are considered. The identity of the causes of self-motion is revealed both in the case of gravitation and inertial motion.展开更多

One of the main characteristics of the plasma system is related to the absence of a fixed neutral point. This gives rise to a rich and complex phenomenology related to instabilities and arc motion since the arcs are ＂burning＂ freely in the gas flow between the three electrodes. This paper is dedicated to the analysis of the behavior of such a system under typical conditions using argon and nitrogen as plasma gases. A classification of are configuration, arc commutating, arc interaction, arc motion and arc instabilities are discussed based on ultra high-speed cine camera analysis. A simple model describing the time evolution of the system is also presented and compared with the experimental measurements. The results show that an adequate control could allow the improvement of the overall system.展开更多

The method is an improvement to the Wolf method and the Rosenstein algorithm. The improved method introduces the correlation integral function method to estimate the embedding dimension and the reconstruction delay simultaneously, and it makes tracks for the evolutions of every pair of the nearest neighbors to improve the utilization of the reconstructed phase space. Numerical calculation and experimental verification show that the improved method can estimate the proper reconstruction parameters and detect chaotic motion of rotor-bearing systems accurately. In addition, the analytical results show that the current approach is robust to variations of the embedding dimension and the reconstruction delay, and it is applicable to small data sets.展开更多

This paper assesses if the Planet 9 hypothesis, the existence of a ninth planet, is consistent with the planetary hypothesis: the synchronisation of sunspot emergence to solar inertial motion (SIM) induced by the planets. We show that SIM would be profoundly affected if Planet 9 exists and that the hypothesised effect of SIM on sunspot emergence would be radically different from the effect of SIM due to the existing eight planets. We compare the frequency and time variation of Sun to barycentre distance, R<sub>B</sub>, calculated for both the eight and nine planet systems, with the frequency and time variation of sunspot number (SSN). We show that including Planet 9 improves the coherence between R<sub>B</sub> and SSN in the decadal, centennial and millennial time range. Additionally, as the variation of R<sub>B </sub>is sensitive to the longitude and period of Planet 9, it is possible to adjust both parameters to fit the variation of R<sub>B</sub> to the SSN record and obtain new estimates of the period and present longitude of Planet 9. Finally, we develop the hypothesis that planetary induced solar acceleration reduces meridional flow and consequently sunspot emergence thereby providing an explanation for the observed coincidence of grand solar minima with intervals of extreme solar acceleration.展开更多

The bottom-closed tubes in the experiments are 1.0 m long with an inner diameter of 0.014 m or 0.018 m. The tube inclines upward from 0~ to 50~ with respect to the normal. Statistical method is used to analyze the data of the Taylor bubble and the liquid slug velocity. Reflecting the effects of the inclination angle on the rising velocity of Taylor bubbles and liquid slugs, the experimental results indicate the similar trend the Taylor bubble velocity and the liquid slug velocity have： it increases first, and then decreases with the increase of the inclination angle. Moreover, with the increase of the inclination angle, the liquid slug velocity becomes greater than Taylor bubble velocity.展开更多

This paper assesses if the Planet 9 hypothesis, the existence of a ninth planet, is consistent with the planetary hypothesis: the synchronisation of sunspot emergence to solar inertial motion (SIM) induced by the planets. We show that SIM would be profoundly affected if Planet 9 exists and that the hypothesised effect of SIM on sunspot emergence would be radically different from the effect of SIM due to the existing eight planets. We compare the frequency and time variation of Sun to barycentre distance, R<sub>B</sub>, calculated for both the eight and nine planet systems, with the frequency and time variation of sunspot number (SSN). We show that including Planet 9 improves the coherence between R<sub>B</sub> and SSN in the decadal, centennial and millennial time range. Additionally, as the variation of R<sub>B </sub>is sensitive to the longitude and period of Planet 9, it is possible to adjust both parameters to fit the variation of R<sub>B</sub> to the SSN record and obtain new estimates of the period and present longitude of Planet 9. Finally, we develop the hypothesis that planetary induced solar acceleration reduces meridional flow and consequently sunspot emergence thereby providing an explanation for the observed coincidence of grand solar minima with intervals of extreme solar acceleration.

文摘This article studies rising velocity of Taylor bubbles and liquid slugs in liquid nitrogen at different axial positions in upward inclined tubes by means of a high speed motion analyzer. The bottom-closed tubes in the experiments are 1.0 m long with an inner diameter of 0.014 m or 0.018 m. The tube inclines upward from 0~ to 50~ with respect to the normal. Statistical method is used to analyze the data of the Taylor bubble and the liquid slug velocity. Reflecting the effects of the inclination angle on the rising velocity of Taylor bubbles and liquid slugs, the experimental results indicate the similar trend the Taylor bubble velocity and the liquid slug velocity have： it increases first, and then decreases with the increase of the inclination angle. Moreover, with the increase of the inclination angle, the liquid slug velocity becomes greater than Taylor bubble velocity.
