As the key control component of the water hydraulic systems, the water hydraulic proportional valve has a significant influence on the control performance of the systems. Due to the poor viscosity and lubricity of water, the valve spool resistance is large and non-linear. In this study, a novel fast-response water hydraulic proportional valve is presented. The actuator of the valve adopts a voice coil motor (VCM), which has the advantages of fast response, high control precision and small volume. In order to realize the fast control of the valve, a lever amplifier is designed to obtain enough actuation force. A detailed and precise non-linear mathematical model of the valve considering both the valve’s structural parameters and VCM electromagnetic characteristics is developed. A comprehensive performance simulation analysis has been carried out, mainly divided into an electromagnetic simulation, an analysis of the characteristics of the lever magnifier, and a dynamic performance simulation of the valve. The simulation results show that the adjusting time is about 28ms, and the maximum overshoot is about 5 %. The step response rise time is about 15 ms. The test rig of the valve and VCM have been built. The test results of the prototype show that the optimal stroke range of VCM is 4 mm to 15 mm. The maximum overshoot of the valve is around 10 %; the adjusting time is about 30 ms in the opening process and 35 ms in the closing process. The test results prove that the valve has good static and dynamic control performance.

This work evaluates the ultrasonic scattering attenuation of structures with complex scatterer distributions via experimental and simulation studies. The proposed approach uses experimental attenuation knowledge to infer the scatterer size and its concentration in the studied structures, which are important for the effective construction of simulated models. The MATLAB k-Wave toolbox has been used to implement the simulator. Several cast-iron samples have been used to demonstrate the importance of simulation in the characterization of such structures. First, the scattering attenuation was evaluated using the Truell and Papadakis models, and then the results were compared with experimental ones. Emphasis was given to the Papadakis approach because it takes into account the scatterer size distribution. It is demonstrated that both analytical models provide results that are far from the experimental ones. The developed simulator for the studied samples led to a predictive model, in which the attenuation was proportional to the fifth power of the scatterer size, and the corresponding formulation is close to the one proposed by the analytical models.

A self-excited pulsed air-water jet (SEPAWJ) offers many advantages over other jets and has a large number of practical and industrial applications. In order to take better advantage of the SEPAWJ, response surface methodology (RSM) models were established with the experimental impact force characteristics as the dependent variable and three key nozzle parameters as the independent variable. Single and coupling factor effects of these three parameters (oscillation chamber length, oscillation chamber height, and diameter of the downstream nozzle) on performance of nozzle are analysed, and the structural parameters of optimum performance are calculated using RSM models. The external flow field, impact force and cleaning performance of SEPAWJ before and after optimization are analysed and compared experimentally. It is found that the significance levels of established average impact force and impact force amplitude RSM models are lower than 0.05, and their error ratios between calculation and experiment under the optimum construction are both less than 5 %, which confirms their considerable reliability. Meanwhile, the final large water mass of optimized SEPAWJ is formed much earlier, and is more intensive and more concentrated. Compared with the original SEPAWJ nozzle, the impact force and impact force amplitude of optimized SEPAWJ nozzle are increased by 52.00 % and 38.26 %, respectively. In addition, the cleaned area ratio of nozzle before and after optimization is 76 % and 100 % at 50 seconds, respectively, with an increase of 22.4 %.

In the machining of split straight bevel gears, the stiffness changes and internal stress are redistributed, which leads to serious deformation of the gear blank after machining. To rectify this problem, q finite element model is established by transforming the processing information of the gear blank into the finite element simulation calculation information, and the gear machining simulation of split straight bevel gear is carried out. Considering the material, design, and machining process of the gear blank, the characteristics and laws of internal stress variation during the gear machining are studied, and the internal mechanism and deformation law of split straight bevel gear are explored. Finally, the gear machining experiment, and the gear blank measurement are carried out. The results show that the deformation law of simulation is consistent with that of the experiment and the deformation characteristics of the split straight bevel gear are consistent with the change law of initial residual stress.

A rubber engine mount (EM) is a mechanical coupling between the engine and the chassis, and its main function is to diminish, in the chassis, the amplitude of vibrations caused for the engine operation. Such vibrations cause discomfort for vehicle passengers and reduce the EM lifetime. To increase the comfort of vehicle passengers and the lifetime of the EM, this paper presents an EM optimization by means of reducing three main criteria: the EM mass, the displacements transmitted to the chassis, and the mechanical stress in the EM rubber core. For carrying out the EM optimization, the optimum global determination by linking and interchanging kindred evaluators (GODLIKE), assisted by artificial neural networks (ANN) and finite element method (FEM), was used. Because of the optimization process, a reduction greater than 10 % was achieved in the three criteria in comparison with a baseline design. The frequency responses were compared and showed that although the optimization was carried out for the range of 5 Hz to 30 Hz the trend of reduced responses continues beyond this range. These results increased the comfort of vehicle passengers and the lifetime of the EM; in addition, the reduction of mass diminishes its production costs.

A crow search algorithm (CSA) was applied to perform the optimization of a running blade prosthetics (RBP) made of composite materials like carbon fibre layers and cores of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Optimization aims to increase the RBP displacement limited by the Tsai-Wu failure criterion. Both displacement and the Tsai-Wu criterion are predicted using artificial neural networks (ANN) trained with a database constructed from finite element method (FEM) simulations. Three different cases are optimized varying the carbon fibre layers orientations: –45°/45°, 0°/90°, and a case with the two-fibre layer orientations intercalated. Five geometric parameters and a number of carbon fibre layers are selected as design parameters. A sensitivity analysis is performed using the Garzon equation. The best balance between displacement and failure criterion was found with fibre layers oriented at 0°/90°. The optimal candidate with –45°/45° orientation presents higher displacement; however, the Tsai-Wu criterion was less than 0.5 and not suitable for RBP design. The case with intercalated fibres presented a minimal displacement being the stiffer RBP design. The damage concentrates mostly in the zone that contacts the ground. The sensitivity study found that the number of layers and width were the most important design parameters.

Visualization of interference phenomena by Chladni patterns is treated. The formation of the pattern in the Young's double-slit experiment is described by a new model of driven random walk exhibited by particles bouncing on a vibrating surface. In the model the mean length of horizontal displacement is described deterministically by the wave amplitude. The presented example indicates that such formation of interference patterns can take place without any pilot-waves associated to particles. In spite od this, the pheomenon remeinds to formation of interference patterns observed at scattering of particles in quantum mechanics.

To study the relationship between tire ground characteristic parameters and vibration noise, a radial truck tire (295/80R22.5) is selected as the research object, and a finite element model is established. The test results of the tire stiffness, vibration modal, and surface velocity response are used to verify the model. In order to find the influence of the inherent vibration characteristics of a tire on radiated noise, the contour design and belt design are selected as design schemes, and a modal analysis and vibration noise numerical simulation analysis are carried out for different tire structures. The footprints of the tire-ground are refined and divided. All the grounding parameters of each subarea are extracted, and the relationships between the geometric and mechanical parameters of the tire ground characteristics and vibration noise are investigated. Then, the effects of the skewness and stiffness of tread deformation, as well as the spectral density of tire–road excitation force power on vibration noise, are analysed. The results showed that a positive correlation exists between the vibration noise and the skewness of the tread radial deformation; however, a negative correlation is observed between the vibration noise and radial deformation stiffness. The peak values and numbers of the tire excitation force power spectral density using the minimum noise structure design are significantly smaller than those of the original tire. This study can serve as a theoretical guideline for the structural design of low-noise tires.

A magnesium alloy was subjected to strengthening treatment by coupling cavitation bubbles with Al2O3 nanoparticles. The samples were strengthened by embedding Al2O3 nanoparticles with the energy generated by cavitation-bubble collapse, following which a strengthening model was established to perform test verification. The result showed that, after experiencing the combined effect for 5 min, nanoparticles appear on the sample surface, observed under the scanning electron microscope (SEM); by applying the X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), it is found that the Al2O3 content increases, implying that Al2O3 particles have been embedded in the sample surface. The microhardness of the samples improves by 36 %. In terms of the strengthening mechanism under the combined effect, the energy generated due to cavitation-bubble collapse is transferred to the Al2O3 particles to enable them to strike the sample surface. Thus, the samples have a more gentle impact, and the transition zone with pits formed on the sample surface is significantly smoother and more continuous. Moreover, the samples are further strengthened after Al2O3 nanoparticles are embedded within the sample surface, as these nanoparticles present high strength and microhardness. However, with the increasing duration of the strengthening process, the failure characteristics of surface morphologies of the samples gradually develop; after experiencing the combined effect for 10 min, a large area of the surface is damaged. XRD and XPS results indicate that Al2O3 particles induce a decrease in the binding capacity with the surface layer of the samples and thus gradually separate from the samples. Therefore, the properties of the samples are adversely affected.

This paper aims to investigate the mechanical (tensile, hardness, impact, elongation), microstructure and wear behaviours of aluminium alloy reinforced with mussel shell powder (MSP) at different weight percentages (0 wt. % to 15 wt. %) at 3 wt. % interval. The mussel shell powder was characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The matrix and the composites’ morphology were studied using a scanning electron microscope attached with energy dispersive spectroscopy for the distribution of mussel shell powder particles within the matrix. The wear behaviour of the alloy and composites produced at various reinforcements were carried out using a Taber abrasion wear-testing machine. The XRF showed the compositions of MSP to contain calcium oxide (95.70 %), silica (0.83 %) and others. Mechanical properties showed that tensile values increase with increases in MSP, hardness value increases from 6 wt. % to 15 wt. % of MSP. The impact energy decreased from 42.6 J at 3 wt. % to 22.6 J at 15 wt. %; the percentage elongation also decreased from 37.4 % at 3 wt. % to 20.5 % at 15 wt. % MSP, respectively. The bending stress results increase with increases in the percentage of reinforcement. The morphologies revealed that uniform distribution of MSP within the matrix resulted to improvement in mechanical properties. The wear resistance of the composites increases with increase in the applied load and decreases with increases in the weight percentage of MSP and can be used in the production of brake pads and insulators in the automobile industry.

The mussel shell powder was characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The matrix and the composites’ morphology were studied using a scanning electron microscope attached with energy dispersive spectroscopy for the distribution of mussel shell powder particles within the matrix. The wear behaviour of the alloy and composites produced at various reinforcements were carried out using a Taber abrasion wear-testing machine.
