Spiral groove journal bearings (SGJBs) are widely used in high-performance rotating machinery due to their excellent hydrodynamic performance and wear resistance. However, the strong nonlinear interactions among key geometric parameters made considerable challenges to performance optimization. This study introduces an integrated approach utilizing Response Surface Methodology (RSM) coupled with Finite Element Method (FEM) to systematically investigate the influences of groove width, length, depth, spiral angle, and groove numbers on bearing load-carrying capacity (LCC) and lubricant leakage. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results identified significant interactions among parameters, with groove width, length, and depth strongly influence LCC, while groove length, depth, and number primarily govern leakage, with spiral angle having a comparatively minor effect. A multi-objective optimization framework was developed, achieving a 6% increase in LCC and a 37.17% reduction in leakage. The results provide valuable insights into the practical design to improve lubrication efficiency in high-performance engineering applications.
The synergistic mechanism between crack network evolution and energy release in deep coal mine roof sandstone is a critical factor triggering rock burst disasters. This study combined acoustic emission (AE) monitoring with digital image correlation (DIC) technology to conduct uniaxial compression tests on double-flawed sandstone, systematically analyzing how rock bridge dip angle regulates crack propagation paths and damage evolution. A mechanical criterion for mixed-mode crack propagation was developed based on stress intensity factor theory, optimizing traditional crack classification standards. Results show that as rock bridge dip angle increases, crack penetration length shortens, energy dissipation channels decrease, and AE energy accumulation intensifies. Under low rock bridge angles, tensile stress drives crack initiation with predominantly mixed I/II propagation modes, whereas at high angles, cracks initiate via shear slip, dominated by mixed III modes. The regulatory mechanism of rock bridge dip angle on crack network configuration and energy release paths is revealed, providing a theoretical basis for achieving directional energy release in roof rock through active optimization of rock bridge angles.
In deep mining engineering, the geological-mining interaction (repeated disturbance from mining activities leading to stress field reconstruction) results in significant roof instability and failure. This study uses combined Acoustic Emission (AE) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques to monitor and conduct cyclic loading tests on double-fractured sandstone specimens with different rock bridge angles. The study systematically analyzes the impact of rock bridge angle on the dynamic response and damage-fracture mechanisms of sandstone under cyclic loading. The results show that cyclic loading hardens sandstone, but the weakening effect of initial defects is more dominant. The 60 degrees rock bridge angle specimen exhibits the lowest Ded, with most of the energy stored elastically. Furthermore, the evolution of AE parameters characterizes the progressive damage under cyclic loading. For the 60 degrees sample, the rapid crack propagation results in AE energy concentrating at the peak release stage, consistent with the macroscopic energy release characteristics. The RA-AF plot indicates that microscopic damage is primarily driven by the propagation of tensile cracks, with their proportion first increasing and then decreasing as the rock bridge angle changes. Based on DIC displacement fields, two types of single-mode cracks and six types of mixed-mode cracks were identified. The evolution of macroscopic crack types is associated with the trend of tensile cracks in the RA-AF plot, with the proportion of tensile cracks being highest in the 60 degrees rock bridge specimen. Finally, through analyzing the RA-AF values and the surface strain field characteristics captured via DIC at distinct loading stages, the disaster-causing mechanisms induced by varied rock bridge angles under cyclic loading were elucidated. Based on these findings, a dual-control theory of rock damage evolution under cyclic loading, comprising an energy dissipation-driven mechanism (the competition between tensile and shear energy efficiencies) and a spatial configuration-regulated mechanism (rock bridge angles governing crack propagation directions), was proposed. This theoretical framework provides a robust foundation and quantitative criteria for evaluating surrounding rock stability and preemptively mitigating hazards under high-intensity disturbance conditions in practical engineering contexts.
Aiming at the problem that the flow rate of the two cavities of the differential cylinder does not match and it is not easy to achieve pump control, the team proposed the asymmetrical distribution principle of the axial piston pump with three ports, which can compensate for the flow difference between the two cavities of the differential cylinder without auxiliary components. Based on this principle, a new type of valve plate structure is designed by using the residual compression method. The pump performance is analyzed by PumpLinx simulation and experiment; the influence of the transition zone structure on the pressure and flow characteristics of the piston pump is researched. The basic characteristics of the pump such as pressure, flow, and noise under different working conditions were tested on the experimental platform, and the rationality of the new structure was verified. The new flow distribution scheme can not only compensate the flow difference of the differential cylinder, but also output two different pressures, which realizes the ideal effect of the hydraulic pump directly controlling the differential cylinder. The research work lays a theoretical foundation for the realization of the pump-controlled volumetric direct drive system.
Servo press is a forming equipment that uses a servo motor to drive a crank slider for stamping and deep drawing process. The servo drive can adjust the motor speed in real time and dynamically, which provides an important support for the dynamic adjustment of the crank slider movement. To realize the smooth reciprocating movement of the large-mass and high-inertia slider, it is necessary to develop a motor speed adjustment algorithm to achieve a good match between the movement load of the slider and the torque that the motor can bear, to ensure the operation safety of the whole machine. S-curve algorithms are often used for the planning of slider movement curves, which is easy to produce flexible impact on the motor. Therefore, to improve this situation, an improved S-curve algorithm is proposed based on the above common methods, which realizes the motion control method of smooth speed change. In this paper, a movement planning algorithm for servo press slider with improved S-curve is proposed based on the 7-phase S-curve acceleration algorithm. Firstly, the kinematic calculation of the crank slider mechanism is carried out. Secondly, 4 control points are set up to divide the slider movement curve of the typical drawing process, including the idle feed stage, deep drawing stage, idle return stage, and loading/unloading stage. Furthermore, the uniform acceleration stage and the uniform deceleration stage are removed, and the acceleration cusp was smoothed, and the improved S-curve algorithm was obtained. Finally, the large-scale crank slider servo press and its deep drawing parameters in a literature are taken as an example to solve the slider movement curves by using the improved S-curve. The results show that the improved S-curve algorithm can be used for servo press slide motion profile planning, which can realize efficient deep drawing process mode.
This paper proposes a new control scheme that is composed by the sliding mode control(SMC) with three-dimensional ceiling control to reduce the multi-dimensional vibration of the vehicle’s seat. The seat suspension system is made of a kind of 3-RPS parallel mechanism, in which each limb is mainly composed by the spherical pair, spring, piston rod, damping fluid and rotary pair. Based on the single-open-chain theory, Position and Orientation Characteristics (POC) set of a 3-RPS seat mechanism was analyzed to verify its movement law. Three-dimensional seat system mathematical model was established, and the SMC and ceiling control were combined to obtain the required force. The ceiling control belongs to an ideal control method, it could provide the reference for the SMC. The comparisons between the SMC and passive seat suspension system were done when the vehicles were walking or working on E, F and G-roads. The results show that the transient amplitudes of seat acceleration outputs were reduced with the proposed control scheme. The research in this work can be extended and applied for other vehicles and improve their performance.
Pump-controlled single-rod hydraulic cylinders are energy-saving and efficient, which is the development direction of hydraulic systems in the future. However, the flow imbalance caused by the unequal effective areas of the two chambers of single-rod hydraulic cylinders has always restricted the development and application of pump-controlled single-rod hydraulic cylinders. The flow rate of the inlet and outlet ports of the ordinary axial piston pump is equal and the flow rate of the large and small chambers of the single rod hydraulic cylinder does not match. In order to solve this problem, the ordinary axial piston pump is improved into an asymmetric axial piston pump, on this basis, the flow distribution mechanism of the asymmetric axial piston pump is explored, and the design theory of the asymmetric axial piston pump is improved. Theoretical analysis of the relationship between the angle of the distribution window of the asymmetrical axial piston pump and the area ratio of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder is carried out, and its mathematical model is derived. Design of valve plates for asymmetrical axial piston pumps to match single rod hydraulic cylinders with different area ratios. The physical model of the asymmetrical axial piston pump and the asymmetrical axial piston pump controlled single-rod hydraulic cylinder system was established in the computer simulation software AMESim. The simulation analysis of the inlet and outlet flow of the asymmetric axial piston pump under different working conditions and the matching of the asymmetric axial piston pump and the single-rod hydraulic cylinder with different area ratios. The simulation results show that the use of an asymmetrical axial piston pump can compensate the flow imbalance caused by the unequal effective areas of the two chambers of the single-rod hydraulic cylinder, so that the flow of the asymmetrical axial piston pump and the single-rod hydraulic cylinder can completely match.
Brittleness is a critical property in gas-bearing rock excavation and reservoir fracturing. This paper analyzes the three types of brittleness indices in detail, proposes new indices, and conducts relevant conventional triaxial tests for analysis. A stress–strain curve-based brittleness index would be appropriate for the evaluation of brittleness if the parameters represented unique and certain stress–strain curves. Therefore, a new brittleness index is proposed. It consists of two components: the stress variation index and the strain variation index, which reflects the strain ratio of the stress drop and the relationship between elastic and post-peak strains, combining the stress variation and strain variation in the pre- and post-peak phases. Triaxial compression tests of sandstone under different confining pressures and gas pressures were conducted, and specific stress and strain parameters were collected. Based on the comparison and analysis of various brittleness indices, it is found that the newly proposed brittleness index can be a good measure of the brittle evolution of sandstones under different confining pressures and gas pressures, and it can provide a more accurate estimate of rock brittleness than the existing indices. The index is also used to further investigate the relationship between rock brittleness and confining and gas pressures. This has important implications for the assessment of rock brittleness in practical engineering.
There have been frequent occurrences of water–sand inrushes in underground mines due to irregular mining activities under thick loose gravel layers. The morphological development characteristics of the caving zone and the changes in the geological conditionsin the working face under a thick loose sedimentlayerof the Pingan Coal Mine have been studied. The empirical formula and numerical simulations are carried out to explore the effect of different thicknesses of the bedrock on the height of the caving zoneand mining thickness. The method of solving the water-sand inrush of the fully mechanized caving face by adjusting the mining thickness was proposed. The results indicate that there is a linear relationshipbetween the height of the caving zone and the mined thickness. The caving height ratio decreases with an increase in the mined thickness and the correlation can be described by a power function. The maximum allowable height of the caving zone and mined thickness are determined based on the thickness of the bedrockand the changed tendency of the caving height ratio. This provides a mean to control the stability of the sand layer on the roof of the working face by adjusting the mined thickness of coal. The method has been applied in the Pingan mine to prevent water-sand inrushes successfully.

For medium plate leveler,the constant pressure control can improve the quality and precision of the plates,at the same time,the rack can be protected.A constant pressure control system is put forward for the screw-down system of the leveler,which converts the position control system to the pressure control system at a specific point.For the characteristics of nonlinearity,time-varying and disturbance of the hydraulic system of levelers,the control strategy of auto disturbance rejection with disturbance feedforward is adopted,which can reduce the influences of disturbance forces on the straightening force,improving the control precision of the straightening force and achieving constant pressure control.This control strategy is verified by the Matlab simulation and the hydraulic leveler prototype.The results indicate that the influences of disturbance force are brought down and the stability of the leveler hydraulic system is significantly improved.
The traditional valve-controlled hydraulic servo system has large throttling losses and undergoes serious heat problems when used in electro-hydraulic servo systems (EHSSs) for a rolling shear. In order to improve the energy efficiency of the EHSS for the rolling shear while also ensuring the position tracking accuracy, the separate metering electro-hydraulic servo system with varying supply pressure (VSP-SMEHSS) is proposed in this work. The inlet valve controls the position of a hydraulic cylinder, while the outlet valve controls the back pressure of the hydraulic cylinder. However, due to the disturbance caused by the varying supply pressure, the proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller or active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) cannot meet the requirements of accuracy. In order to solve this problem, based on a nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) and a tracking differentiator (TD), a dynamic surface control (DSC) is proposed in this work. Firstly, the stability of the controller is validated using the Lyapunov method. Then, experiments are conducted to verify the proposed control strategy. As a result, the hydraulic cylinder can accurately track the reference displacement signal and effectively reduce the pressure drop at the valve’s orifice, due to which the hydraulic system achieves significant energy-savings. Compared with that of the EHSS, the energy consumption of the VSP-SMEHSS is reduced by 44.6%.
The hydraulic system of a bilateral rolling shear for a thick and wide plate is a nonlinear system. The sudden loading on the hydraulic cylinders caused by the collision between the steel plate and the upper blade is huge at the beginning. The system response may be unable to meet the requirements of actual production, thereby resulting in low cutting quality or failure to shear the steel plate. To solve these issues, we propose a preloaded hydraulic system in which some amount of pressure is preloaded in the rodless chamber before the hydraulic cylinders contact the load. Then, the pressure held in the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder is immediately released as the load applied, compensating for the inadequacies in the response time of the system and providing a sufficiently large supplementary flow to the hydraulic cylinder. A cascade controller based on a disturbance observer is designed, which includes a position outer loop and a pressure inner loop. The new electrohydraulic servo system improves the shearing precision and power of the bilateral rolling shears and increases the load tolerance of the system, thereby improving the system stability.
