Analytical method for softness abrasive flow field based on discrete phase model

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of difficult contact finishing for mini structural surface in course of mould manufacturing, a new no-tool precision machining method based on soft abrasive flow machining (SAFM) was proposed. It allocated restrained component near surface machined, constituted restrained abrasive flow passage, and made the surface become a segment of passage wall. It could control turbulence abrasive flow in restrained passage, realize micro cutting for passage wall, and utilize the irregular motion of abrasive flow to eliminate the mono-directional marks on machined surfaces, and the precision could reach the specular level. A two-phase dynamic model of abrasive flow oriented to SAFM combined with discrete phase model (DPM) was established, the law of two-phase flow motion and the related physical parameters was obtained by corresponding numerical simulation method, and the mechanism of precision machining in SAFM was discussed. Simulation results show that the abrasive flow machining process mainly appears as translation of ablating location with the influence by granular pressure, and as the variation of machining efficiency with the influence by near-wall particle velocity. Thus via control of the inlet velocity and its corresponding machining time, it is supposed to work out the machining process according to the machining requirements by using the Preston equation to seek the relationship among velocity, pressure and material removing rate. By tracking near-wall particles, it can be confirmed that the movement of near-wall abrasive particles is similar to stream-wise vortices. The cutting traces on workpiece surfaces assume disorderly arrangement, so the feasibility of the SAFM method can be reaffirmed. structural flow passage, ultra-precision machining, softness abrasive flow, discrete phase model Citation:Ji S M, Xiao F Q, Tan D P.

A Self‐Tuning Proportional‐Integral‐Derivative‐Based Temperature Control Method for Draw‐Texturing‐Yarn Machine

“…Regarding the temperature control model in Section 3, to reduce the computation load, the RLS method is adopted to restrict the error of parameter estimation values and factual observation values and approximate it to the factual system output [32][33][34][35]. According to the control objective characteristics of DTY machine, we can obtain the closed-loop control block diagram of system parameter identification, as shown in Figure 9.…”

“…Since the working temperature of DTY heating cabinet is apt to be disturbed by the environmental factors of fiber material, fiber moisture percentage, tensile speed, ambient temperature, and heating power, the anti-interference scheme is an indispensable component of the temperature control system [42][43][44][45]. Considering the above matter, two methods are adopted to resolve it.…”
