Effect of tip geometry and tip clearance on aerodynamic performance of a linear compressor cascade

The tip leakage flow between a blade and a casing wall has a strong impact on compressor pressure rise capability, efficiency, and stability. Consequently, there is a strong motivation to look for means to minimize its impact on performance. This paper presents the potential of passive tip leakage flow control to increase the aerodynamic performance of highly loaded compressor blades. Experimental investigations on a linear compressor cascade equipped with blade winglets mounted to the blade tips have been carried out. Results for a variation of the tip clearance and the winglet geometry are presented. Current results indicate that the use of proper tip winglets in a compressor cascade can positively affect the local aerodynamic field by weakening the tip leakage vortex. Results also show that the suction-side winglets are aerodynamically superior to the pressure-side or combined winglets. The suction-side winglets are capable of reducing the exit total pressure loss associated with the tip leakage flow and the passage secondary flow to a significant degree.

Refined modeling and experimental verification of a torque motor for an electro-hydraulic servo valve

The Permanent Magnet Torque Motor (PMTM) is the key electro-mechanical conversion device in an Electro-Hydraulic Servo Valve (EHSV). In this work, a refined model of a PMTM is developed, considering the non-working air-gaps between the upper or lower yoke and the armature, the fringing effect at the limiting holes, and the nonlinear permeability of soft magnetic material. Based on the refined model, the influences of various factors on the calculation accuracy of the magnetic flux at the pole surfaces of the armature and the output torque are investigated. For verifying the validity of the refined model, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the PMTM is conducted, and a test platform is constructed. Compared with existing models, the refined model can better reveal the intrinsic mechanism of the PMTM, and its calculations are more consistent with the FEA results. The experimental results of the armature deflection displacement show that the refined model can accurately describe the output characteristics of the PMTM.     

Comparison of computational and experimental results in vibroacoustic active control using piezoelectric film technology

The present investigation concerns control of far-field acoustic radiation generated by a thin plate in a broad frequency band using piezoelectric films. System dynamics is of modal nature.This paper describes a comparison of numerical and experimental results for a closed loop type control. This comes from Optimal Control Theory via radiation filter causal transformation based on a dissipative criterion.     

Reduction in clamping force due to applied longitudinal load to aerospace structural bolted plates

The main purpose of the present work is to experimentally and numerically study why and how the magnitude of the bolt clamping force reduces in the aerospace structural bolted plates when they are subjected to a longitudinal tensile load. In the experimental method, a holed plate of aluminium alloy 7075-T6 was clamped using a single bolt fastener, and then tested under an increasing static longitudinal tensile load. The bolt clamping magnitude was determined by using the measured axial compressive strains of a steel bush placed between the nut and plate. Two clamped specimens with different initial clamping forces were studied. In each specimen the actual clamping forces were determined during the longitudinal loading on the plate. In the numerical method, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model was generated in order to simulate and quantify the bolt clamping force in the plate model loaded in tension. Both experimental and numerical results showed that the clamping force reduces considerably in the aluminium bolted plates under the longitudinal tensile loading. This is because of the transverse contraction of the plate material that causes the clamped material to release from the initial compression, and as a result, the clamping force to relax.     

Experimental investigation on ice-breaking performance of a novel plasma striker

双脉冲固体发动机燃烧室EPDM绝热层烧蚀性能实验研究

双脉冲发动机工作时燃烧室内部热环境复杂,对内绝热层设计提出很高要求,但对双脉冲发动机燃烧室内EPDM绝热层的烧蚀性能研究较少。为此,本文提出了工作时间为15s和两次点火工作时间为7.5s+7.5s的发动机实验方案,以研究双脉冲固体发动机燃烧室内EPDM绝热层的烧蚀性能。采用SEM电镜扫描、微米CT测试分析获得了烧蚀试件的表面宏观形貌、炭化层表面和断面微观形貌以及炭化层三维构型;利用测厚仪测量结果计算了试件的烧蚀率。结果表明,在总工作时间相等的情况下,双脉冲发动机中EPDM绝热层的烧蚀率比传统发动机大;与传统发动机中单次热冲击下烧蚀后试件相比,双脉冲发动机二次热冲击下烧蚀后试件的炭化层厚度减小约50%,总体孔隙率增大约13%;烧蚀表面致密层的致密程度也有所减小。双脉冲发动机工作时,EPDM绝热层的烧蚀性能在二次热冲击下发生较大变化,需在燃烧室内绝热层的设计过程中予以重视。     

A fast arc fault detection method for AC solid state power controllers in MEA

Arc fault detection is desperately required in Solid State Power Controllers (SSPC) in addition to their fundamental functions because arcs will provoke growing harm and threat to aircraft safety. Experimental study has been done to obtain the faulted current data. In order to improve the detection speed and accuracy, two fast arc fault detection methods have been proposed in this paper with the analysis of only half cycle data. Both Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Wavelet Packets Decomposition (WPD) have been adopted to distinguish arc fault currents from normal operation currents. Analysis results show that Alternating Current (AC) arcs can be effectively and accurately detected with the proposed half cycle data based methods. Moreover, experimental verification results have also been provided.
