Dynamic Contact Analysis of Torus-involute Gear by Fang Meijuan, Liu Lei

“…Taking the torus-involute gear as study object,according to the theory of gear meshing and the gear hobbing process,the tooth surface equations of torus-involute gears with convex and concave teeth are derived by using the tooth surface equation of counterpart rack.According to the mathematical conditions of neither undercutting nor tooth pointing,based on MATLAB,the Graphical User Interface which contains geometric parameter designs of torus-involute gear is developed.In the light of the tooth surface equations of torus-involute gear,the three-dimensional coordinates of torus-involute gear are calculated which can be used to develop the3-D solid models.The Hypermesh is used to mesh the 3-D models of torus-involute gear.Based on the nonlinear contact algorithm,the finite element models of convex and concave torus-involute gears meshing are established which can be used to implement the dynamic contact analysis in ABAQUS.The results reveal that the width of torus-involute gears is limited by gear undercutting or tooth pointing and the maximum contact stress will be steady after hobbing for a while.The contact stress is small when just a pair of gear teeth are meshing,while the contact stress is large when two pairs of gear teeth are meshing.…”

Infrared image segmentation algorithm based on distribution information intuitionistic fuzzy c-means clustering by Xiaofei WANG, Fankui HU, Shuo HUANG

“…Due to the sensitivity of the traditional intuitionistic fuzzy c-means (IFCM) clustering algorithm to the clustering center in image segmentation,which resulted in the low clustering precision,poor retention of details,and large time complexity,an intuitionistic fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm was proposed based on spatial distribution information suitable for infrared image segmentation of power equipment.The non-target objects with high intensity and the non-uniformity of image intensity in the infrared image had strong interference to the image segmentation,which could be effectively suppressed by the proposed algorithm.Firstly,the Gaussian model was introduced into the global spatial distribution information of power equipment to improve the IFCM algorithm.Secondly,the membership function was optimized by local spatial operator to solve the problem of edge blur and image intensity inhomogeneity.The experiments conducted on Terravic motion IR database and the data set containing 300 infrared images of power equipment show that,the relative region error rate is about 10% and is less affected by the change of fuzzy factor m.The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed algorithm are superior to other comparison algorithms.…”

Direct perception of affective valence from vision by Saeedeh Sadeghi, Zijin Gu, Eve De Rosa, Amy Kuceyeski, Adam K. Anderson

“…In the brain, VV resides in lower to mid-level visual regions, where neural activity submitted to deep generative networks synthesizes new images containing positive versus negative VV. There are distinct modes of valence experience, one derived indirectly from meaning, and the other embedded in ecological statistics, affording direct perception of subjective valence as an apparent objective property of the external world.…”
