The validity of the parameterized equivalent contact model was verified by comparing the results of the analytic value of the contact model and the value calculated by the theoretical formula. The curvilinear trend of stress was obtained by changing the structural parameter of the flexspline. Based on the curvilinear trend of stress,multi-objective optimizations of key structural parameters were achieved. Flexspline,wave generator,and circular spline of a new 32-type short cylindrical cup-shaped harmonic reducer were designed and manufactured. A performance test bench to carry out tests on the harmonic reducer was designed. Contrast experiments were implemented to determine the efficiency of the new 32-type short cylindrical cup-shaped harmonic reducer and the conventional 32-type harmonic reducer under different conditions. The experimental results reveal that there is approximately equality in terms of efficiency between the new 32-type short cylindrical cup-shaped harmonic reducer and the conventional 32-type harmonic reducer. The volume of the flexspline of the new 32-type short cylindrical cup-shaped harmonic reducer is reduced by approximately 30% through multi-objective optimization. When the new 32-type short cylindrical cup-shaped harmonic reducer is used on the wheel of a rover prototype,the mass of the wheel hub is decreased by 0.42 kg. Test analysis of wheel motion verifies that the new 32-type short cylindrical cup-shaped harmonic reducer can meet the requirements regarding bearing capacity and efficiency.展开更多
A study on the validity of volume equations currently used for three timber species, Entandrophragma cylindricum, Erythrophleum ivorensis and Pericopsis elata (Sapelli, Tali and Assamela respectively) in south east ...A study on the validity of volume equations currently used for three timber species, Entandrophragma cylindricum, Erythrophleum ivorensis and Pericopsis elata (Sapelli, Tali and Assamela respectively) in south east Cameroon, was conducted between the months of July and September, 2007 to evaluate their suitability for the site. Twenty-two percent sampling intensity was conducted within annual allowable cuts and diameter readings taken on standing trees with the aid of a wide band Relascope. A non linear regression equation model was employed to compute volume equations and the student's t-test for the analysis of the existing models. Based on individual tree volumes within stands, new equations for the three species were constructed. A comparison was made between the new equations and those that were being used at the site. Results indicated a total standing volume of 0.007 m3/ha obtained for the three species (Sapelli 0.003 m3/ha, Tali 0.002 m3/ha and Assamela 0.002 m3/ha). Two new volume equation models [B] and [C] were retained for their goodness-of-fit with [B] for Assamela and [C] for Sapelli and Tali. Results also showed that a total volume of 0.005 m3/ha was underestimated for the three species (Sapelli 0.002 m3/ha, Tali 0.001 m3/ha and Assamela 0.002 m3/ha) when existing volume equations were applied. It is imperative to construct new volume equations that are compatible with the ecological characteristics of the site using representative samples. Setting-up appropriate methods for their validation shall also serve as checks to future management errors.展开更多
