Analysis of end point vibrations of a two-link manipulator by integrated CAD/CAE procedures

In this work, the effect of flexibility on the trajectory of a planar two-link manipulator is studied using integrated computer-aided design/analysis (CAD/CAE) procedures. The solid models and finite element models of the parts of the manipulator are created by using the CAD/CAE software I-DEAS. The assembly is defined, and knowing the payload and the end point trajectory, the velocities and accelerations of the parts, joint forces and driving torques are calculated using the rigid body dynamics. All the time dependent nodal forces acting on the parts including distributed gravity and inertia forces are created in files with the I-DEAS program file format. The finite element vibration analysis of the parts is performed by I-DEAS. The end point vibrations and the deviations from the rigid-body trajectory are analyzed for different types of end point acceleration curves. A circular trajectory is considered as an example. It is observed that the precision of the manipulator can be increased by testing different end point acceleration curves without changing the trajectory and the duration of the end point work. The procedure explained in this work can be used for this purpose successfully.     

A three‐dimensional Cartesian cut cell method for incompressible viscous flow with irregular domains

A three‐dimensional Cartesion cut cell method is presented for the simulations of incompressible viscous flows with irregular domains. A new model (referred to as ‘6+N’ model) is proposed to describe arbitrarily shaped cut cells and treat all the cells as polyhedrons with 6+N faces. The finite volume discretization of the Navier–Stokes equation is then implemented by using the ‘6+N’ model to separate the surface flux integrals into two parts, that is, the fluxes through the basic face of the hexahedron and those through the cutting surfaces. The previously proposed Kitta Cube algorithm and volume computer‐aided design platform (J. Comput. Aided. Des. 2005; 37(4): 1509–1520. Doi:10.1016/j.cad.2005.03.006) are adopted to generate cut cells and provide shape data and physical attributes for the numerical analysis. A modified SIMPLE‐based smoothing pressure correction scheme is applied to suppress checkerboard pressure oscillations caused by the collocated arrangement of velocities and pressure. The calculation accuracy of the numerical method expressed by L₁ and L _∞ norm errors is first demonstrated by the simulation of a pipe flow. Then its feasibility, efficiency, and potential in engineering applications are verified by applying it to solve natural convections between concentric spheres and between eccentric spheres. The heat transfer patterns in eccentric spheres are also obtained by using the numerical method. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Simple and precise detection of lipid compounds present within liposomal formulations using a charged aerosol detector

In recent decades the use of liposomal preparations as drug delivery systems has become very attractive in pharmaceutical development. Therefore, thorough characterization and quantification of the lipids which form liposomes is wished from both investigators and regulatory authorities when the application in humans is being considered. In this study a new HPLC method for the detection of lipids in liposomal formulations was established using corona charged aerosol detection (CAD) which has the advantage to be independent of the chemical properties of the analytes. The superiority of this method over UV detection was demonstrated. Compared to UV detection no absorption effects of the organic solvent in the mobile phase interfering with the lipid signals were observed with CAD. CAD showed good linearity (R² > 0.990) for all liposomal compounds. The acceptance criteria for precision including repeatability were met. The average recovery for each of the excipients of the liposomal formulation was in the range of 90.0–110%.     

Characterization of polyethylenimine by electrospray ionization and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization

Branched polyethylenimines (PEIs) with lower average molecular weights (600, 1200 and 1800 Da) have been studied by Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. In both, ESI and MALDI mass spectra, the main distribution arises from protonated PEI oligomers with NH₂ end groups, [PEI + H]⁺, which are observed at m/z 43n + 18. A trace of sodium contamination in the PEI samples results in the presence of a series that appears at m/z 43n + 40 [PEI + Na]⁺. However, only the MALDI mass spectra show a [PEI + K]⁺ series at m/z 43n + 56, because of matrix contamination with potassium, and a series generated by condensation of the matrix with PEI at m/z 43n + 30. Collisionally activated dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (CAD (MS/MS)) of protonated PEI oligomers is shown to yield three fragment ion series b_n, and K_n. The experiments have demonstrated the capabilities of these mass spectrometry techniques, along with CAD MS/MS to detect and characterize such polar synthetic polymers.

Volume Images Vector Display Based on a Diffractive Screen

A white light system based on a 65 cm × 35 cm diffractive screen is demonstrated to be capable of displaying three-dimensional figures with continuous horizontal parallax. Three computer-controlled mirrors and a diffractive-refractive optical system are employed for positioning each element of the figure. No visual accessories are necessary and more than one observer can watch it simultaneously.     

Surface triangulation for polygonal models based on CAD data

This paper presents an approach to the generation of unstructured surface meshes for Computer‐Aided Design (CAD) surface models represented as lists of polygons with minimum user interventions. Stereolithography (STL) data are adopted as an interface between a CAD system and the surface grid generator. STL files often include problems such as overlapping surfaces, gaps, and intersections. They have to be revised quickly and automatically before the surface models are used for the background grid of the surface grid generation. In this paper, we describe an automatic revision method for use with STL‐defined surface models. The advancing front method using geometric features is adopted directly on the modified STL surfaces. The capability of the method is demonstrated for several 3D surface models. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

CAD软件在工程地质三维建模中的应用

如何快速、准确地建立地质体的三维模型一直是众多岩土工程数值模拟工作者所面临的难题。虽然三维地学模拟软件具有很好的三维地质建模能力,但是由于数据结构的差异,采用他们现行三维地学模拟软件建立的地质模型难以导入数值模拟分析软件中,以为相应工程问题的数值模拟服务。目前,随着各种CAD、CAM软件行业的的飞速发展,涌现出了许多优秀的三维建模软件,而且这些软件大都与现行数值分析软件有着良好的数据接口功能。据此,本文提出了采用现行CAD软件来建立工程地质体的三维模型,使得建立的模型达到既"可视"又"可算"的目的。将其应用于云南某高速公路边坡的三维建模中,证明了该法具有方便、快捷和合理等优点。
