In this paper, we derive the transient nonlinear dynamicresponse equations of high-acceleration mechanisms, which reveal that stiffness, frequency, damping, and driving frequency are the primary factors. Therefore, we propose a new structural optimization and velocity-planning method for the precision positioning of a high-acceleration mechanism based on optimal spatial and temporal distribution of inertial energy. For structural optimization, we first reviewed the commonly flexible multibody dynamic optimization using equivalent static loads method （ESLM）, and then we selected the modified ESLM for optimal spatial distribution of inertial energy; hence, not only the stiffness but also the inertia and frequency of the real modal shapes are considered. For velocity planning, we developed a new velocity-planning method based on nonlinear dynamic-response optimization with varying motion conditions. Our method was verified on a high-acceleration die bonder. The amplitude of residual vibration could be decreased by more than 20% via structural optimization and the positioning time could be reduced by more than 40% via asymmetric variable velocity planning. This method provides an effective theoretical support for the precision positioning of high-acceleration low-load mechanisms.展开更多

The final deformed shape needs to be trimmed into a final part after stamping, the trimmed area, therefore, needs to be compensated manually before using one step inverse approach, which causes low efficiency and in consistency with the real situation. To solve this problem, one step positive approach is proposed to simulate the sheet metal stamping process. Firstly the spatial initial solution of one step positive method is preliminarily obtained by using the mapping relationship and area coordinates, then based on the deformation theory the iterative solving is carried out in three-dimensional coordinate system by using quasi-conjugate-gradient method. During iterative process the contact judgment method is introduced to ensure that the nodes on the spatial initial solution are not separated from die surface. The predicted results of sheet metal forming process that include the shape and thickness of the stamped part can be obtained after the iterative solving process. The validity of the proposed approach is verified by comparing the predicted results obtained through the proposed approach with those obtained through the module of one step inverse approach in Autoform and the real stamped part. In one step positive method, the stamped shape of regular sheet can be calculated fast and effectively. During the iterative solution, the quasi-conjugate-gradient method is proposed to take the place of solving system of equations, and it can improve the stability and precision of the algorithm.展开更多

It was found that there is significant correlation between the Cl substitution position and some structural parameters. Consequently, Cl substitution positions were taken as theoretical descriptors to establish a novel QSPR model for predicting –lgSw of all PCB congeners. The model achieved in this work contains four variables, of which r^2 = 0.9527, q^2 = 0.9490 and SD = 0.25 with large t values. In addition, the variation inflation factors （VIFs） of variables in this model are all less than 5.0, suggesting high accuracy of the –lgSw predicting model. And the results of cross-validation test and method validation also show that the model exhibits optimum stability and better predictive capability than that from the AM1 method.展开更多

The structural parameters were obtained and significant correlation between the C1 substitution position and some structural parameters was found. Consequently, the number of C1 substitution positions was taken as theoretical descriptors to establish two novel QSPR models for predicting lgKow and -lgSw of all PCDD congeners. The two models achieved in this work contain two variables （Na and Nβ）, of which r = 0.9312, 0.9965 and SD = 0.27, 0.12 respectively, and t values are all large. The variation inflation factors （VIF） of variables in the two models herein are both less than 5.0, suggesting high accuracy of the lgKow and -lgSw predicting models, and the results of cross-validation test also show that the two models exhibit optimum stability and good predictive power. By comparison, the correlation and predictive ability of the present work are more advantageous than those obtained using semi-empirical AM1 and GC-RI methods.展开更多

In this paper, we derive the transient nonlinear dynamicresponse equations of high-acceleration mechanisms, which reveal that stiffness, frequency, damping, and driving frequency are the primary factors. Therefore, we propose a new structural optimization and velocity-planning method for the precision positioning of a high-acceleration mechanism based on optimal spatial and temporal distribution of inertial energy.

文摘In this paper, we consider the positive solutions of fractional three-point boundary value problem of the form Dο^α＋u（t）＋f（t,u（t）,u＇（t）,…,u^（n-3）（5）,u^（n-2）（t））=0,u^（i）（0）=0,0≤i≤n-2,u^（n-2）（1）-βu^（n-2）（ξ）=0,where 0〈t〈1,n-1〈α≤n,n≥2,ξ Е（0,1）,βξ^a-n〈1. We first transform it into another equivalent boundary value problem. Then, we derive the Green＇s function for the equivalent boundary value problem and show that it satisfies certain properties. At last, by using some fixed-point theorems, we obtain the existence of positive solution for this problem. Example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our result.

文摘In this paper, we consider existence of single or multiple positive solutions of three-point boundary value problems involving one-dimensional p-Laplacian. We then study existence of solutions when the problems are in resonance cases. The proposed approach is based on the Krasnoselskii＇s fixed point theorem and the coincidence degree.
文摘Three characteristic points in the deformation history of a fractured tensile specimen are selected tocalculate two values of n( n1 and n2 ) to represent the hardening ability of material during the homogeneous plas-tic deformation and the following large plastic deformation. Experimental results obtained with mild streel andred copper show that n determined using the three-point method proposed is better to describe the hardening a-bility of material. It is therefore concluded that three-point method can be used to describe the hardening prop-erty of material during both homogeneous deformation and large plastic deformation.
文摘In this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions for a class of third-order three-point boundary value problem. By employing the fixed point theorem on cone, some new criteria to ensure the three-point boundary value problem has at least three positive solutions are obtained. An example illustrating our main result is given. Moreover, some previous results will be improved significantly in our paper.

文摘In this paper, we consider the three-point boundary value problem （φp（uˊˊ（t）））ˊ ＋a（t）f（t, u（t）, uˊ（t）, uˊˊ（t）） = 0, t ∈ [0, 1] subject to the boundary conditions u（0） =βuˊ（0）, uˊ（1） = αuˊ（η）, uˊˊ（0） = 0, where φp（s） = ｜s｜p？2s with p 〉 1, 0 〈 α, η 〈 1 and 0 ≤ β 〈 1. Applying a fixed point theorem due to Avery and Peterson, we study the existence of at least three positive solutions to the above boundary value problem.
