A Dynamic Design Methodology for Large-Scale Complex Nonlinear Systems Based on Orthogonal Decomposition Technique by Qi-Bin Wang, Si-Yang Piao, Ming-Wei Piao, Peng Dang, Qiu-Ze Li, Jing-Ying Ren

“…Since the technical prototype of German ICE3 serial bogies has the design default of the primary hunting phenomenon, the improved design of the wheel-rail relationship has simply abandoned the high-quality technical resources of wheel-rail matching conditions at low conicity. On the contrary, the dynamic simulation analyses of MC01-TC02-MC03 three-vehicles trainset show that the semiactive damping technique between intervehicles takes advantage of Izz >> Ixx to improve the impacts of car body instability on ride comfort, and the self-adaptive improved design has consequently the ability to achieve the technical goal of uniform wear at low conicity. …”

Design and Test of a Cone Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Driving Hopping Robot by Yunguang Luan, Huaming Wang, Ling Zhou, Haichao Song

“…The primary components of this mechanism include a torsion spring that stores mechanical energy when twisted, a constant-torque actuation cam that ensures the consistent application of torque during the energy storage phase, and a conical DEA that acts as an actuator. When the conical DEA is activated, it pushes a one-way clutch to the rocker, rotating the gear and cam mechanism and subsequently twisting the torsion spring to store energy. …”

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study on Flow of Polymer Aqueous Solution in Porous Jet Nozzle by Minghui Wei, Chenghuai Wu, Yanxi Zhou

“…The results show that the polymer additive jet has a longer isokinetic core, and the rock-breaking volume of the polymer additive jet is much larger than that of the pure water jet, and the optimal spray distance is increased. The forward central jet with the conical convergent nozzle structure has more efficient rock-breaking ability.…”
