Shilong Wang,Xiaoyong Li,Song Lei,Jie Zhou,Yong Yang 대한기계학회 2011 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.25 No.8

Wear on the local area of steel wires’ surface is attributed to torsional fretting on the working process of stranded-wire helical spring. A mathematical model to calculate normal contact force and angular displacement amplitude among the wires is established first when the spring is impacted. With the experimental parameters obtained from the model, the torsional fretting test, which stimulates torsional fretting among the wires in the working process of the spring, is realized successfully on a newly developed fretting tester. Torsional fretting behaviors are strongly dependent upon normal contact force, angular displacement amplitude, and number of cycles. There are three basic types of T-θ curves (short for torque), angular displacement curves during the process of torsional fretting, namely, parallelogram,elliptic, and linear T-θ curves. To analyze the damage mechanisms, distribution maps of oxygen in the wear scar of spring wires under different working conditions are revealed. The damage gets slight in the partial slip region, mainly with the abrasive wear and the slight oxidative wear, whereas the wear mechanisms are mainly the abrasive wear, the oxidative wear, and the delamination, accompanied with obvious plastic deformation in the mixed fretting and slip regions.

Mathematical model for determination of strand twist angle and diameter in stranded-wire helical springs

Shilong Wang,Song Lei,Jie Zhou,Hong Xiao 대한기계학회 2010 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.24 No.6

The twist angle of strands has a significant effect on the performance of stranded-wire helical springs. This paper proposes two models (a precise mathematical model and an approximate mathematical model) for calculation of the twist angle and the diameter of strands formed of an arbitrary number of wires. These two parameters can be derived from the screw pitch of strands and the diameter and number of their wires, regardless of the model used. In comparative and analytical studies, it was determined that for strands with the same number of wires, the larger the ratio of the screw pitch to the diameter of the wires is, the smaller the relative errors of the two models are. Only when the foresaid ratio is two times larger than the number of wires, the results of the approximate mathematical model can be acceptable. In other cases, the approximate mathematical model cannot be used. Finally, application software was developed for direct precise-mathematical-model calculation of the twist angle and diameter of strands formed of arbitrary wires.

Shilong Wang,Yong Yang,Xianguang Li,Jie Zhou,Ling Kang 대한기계학회 2013 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.27 No.5

Research on thermal deformation of large-scale computer numerical control (CNC) hobbing machines is on the purpose of obtaining the law of thermal deformation of gear hobbing machines to improve machining precision. According to the structure characteristics of hobbing machines, this paper presents a novel computing model of thermal deformation based on the theory of the thermal expansion deformation of metallic materials, the extensional beam theory, non-uniform temperature distribution of the Euler-Bernoulli beam and Kirchhoff theory of plane-section assumption. Then, the coupling theory of axial and bending deformation of hobbing machines based on the deformation element and equilibrium element method is proposed. The experimental measurement system and platform for thermal deformation of gear hobbing machines is established. The temperature and displacement data of thermal deformation of a certain type gear hobbing machine is analyzed, which has demonstrated the law of thermal deformation of hobbing machines. The locus curves for overall displacement error of cutting points and teeth trace error are obtained. Comparing deformation theory and experimental data, the relative error is lower than 5%, which verifies the computing model proposed by this paper, and shows the research method has great significance for structural optimization, local temperature control, and prediction and compensation for thermal deformation error of gear hobbing machines.

A Mask Wearing Detection System Based on Deep Learning

Yang, Shilong,Xu, Huanhuan,Yang, Zi-Yuan,Wang, Changkun Korea Multimedia Society 2021 The journal of multimedia information system Vol.8 No.3

COVID-19 has dramatically changed people's daily life. Wearing masks is considered as a simple but effective way to defend the spread of the epidemic. Hence, a real-time and accurate mask wearing detection system is important. In this paper, a deep learning-based mask wearing detection system is developed to help people defend against the terrible epidemic. The system consists of three important functions, which are image detection, video detection and real-time detection. To keep a high detection rate, a deep learning-based method is adopted to detect masks. Unfortunately, according to the suddenness of the epidemic, the mask wearing dataset is scarce, so a mask wearing dataset is collected in this paper. Besides, to reduce the computational cost and runtime, a simple online and real-time tracking method is adopted to achieve video detection and monitoring. Furthermore, a function is implemented to call the camera to real-time achieve mask wearing detection. The sufficient results have shown that the developed system can perform well in the mask wearing detection task. The precision, recall, mAP and F1 can achieve 86.6%, 96.7%, 96.2% and 91.4%, respectively.

Precision allocation optimization modeling of large-scale CNC hobbing machine based on precision reliability

Zongyan Hu,Shilong Wang,Chi Ma 대한기계학회 2023 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.37 No.2

Reducing manufacturing cost is the main goal of machine tool precision allocation under the condition of meeting precision design requirements. The previous studies generally took "ensuring machining errors completely within the allowable range of design precision" as constraint. Due to the strict constraint, the cost reduction effect is limited. This paper proposes a new method of precision allocation based on precision reliability. The probability that the machining errors are within the design precision allowable range is taken as the measurement index of precision reliability, and the optimization model constraint is relaxed to "that the machining errors are within the allowable range of design precision with predefined precision reliability", so as to obtain lower manufacturing cost under tolerable precision loss risk. The case study of a large-scale gear hobbing machine shows that this method can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost, and the precision allocation is more economical and reasonable.

Enhanced friction model for high-speed right-angle gear dynamics

Zhiheng Feng,Shilong Wang,Teik C. Lim,Tao Peng 대한기계학회 2011 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.25 No.11

The modeling of elastohydrodynamic lubrication friction and the analysis of its dynamic effect on right-angle gears, such as hypoid and spiral bevel types are performed in the present study. Unlike the classically applied empirical constant coefficient of friction at the contacting tooth surfaces, the enhanced physics-based gear mesh friction model is both spatial and time-varying. The underlying formulation assumes mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) condition in which the division and load distribution between the full film and asperity contact zones are determined by the film thickness ratio and load sharing coefficient. In the proposed time-varying friction model, the calculation of friction coefficient is performed at each contact grid inside the instantaneous contact area that is being subjected to mineral oil lubrication. The effective friction coefficient and directional parameters synthesized from the net frictional and normal contact forces are then incorporated into a nonlinear time-varying right-angle gear dynamic model. Using this model, the effect of friction on the gear dynamic response due to the transmission error and mesh excitations is analyzed. Also, parametric studies are performed by varying torque, surface roughness and lubrication properties to understand the salient role of tooth sliding friction in gear dynamics. The simulation results are included. But experimental verification is needed.

Analysis of elliptical Hertz contact of steel wires of stranded-wire helical spring

Xiaoyong Li,Shilong Wang,Jie Zhou 대한기계학회 2014 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.28 No.7

A stranded-wire helical spring is formed of a multilayer and coaxial strand of several wires twisted together with the same direction ofspiral. Because of the multilayer structure, the wear on the local area of the steel wires’ surface is related to the elliptical contact betweenadjacent wires during working process. Based on Boussinesq potential functions and elastic half-space model, the contact area and surfacepressure of elliptical Hertz contact were investigated. Moreover, these surface contact quantities are used to expand the calculationof subsurface stress relevant to elliptical contact. It is found that the greater contact angle of two contact wires, the smaller contact areaand greater maximum contact pressure. Meanwhile, the magnitude of subsurface von Mises stress is much higher when the contact angleincreases.

An analytical model for PVC-FRP confined reinforced concrete columns under low cyclic loading

Yuan Fang,Feng Yu,Anchun Chen,Shilong Wang,Guoshi Xu 국제구조공학회 2021 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.77 No.2

Experimental investigations on the seismic behaviors of the PVC-FRP Confined Reinforced Concrete (PFCRC) columns under low cyclic loading are carried out and two variable parameters including CFRP strips spacing and axial compression ratio are considered. The PFCRC column finally fails by bending and is characterized by the crushing of concrete and yielding of the longitudinal reinforcement, and the column with a high axial compression ratio is also accompanied by the cracking of the PVC tube and the fracture of CFRP strips. The hysteretic curves and skeleton curves of the columns are obtained from the experimental data. With the increase of axial compression ratio, the stiffness degradation rate accelerates and the ductility decreases. With the decrease of CFRP strips spacing, the unloading sections of the skeleton curves become steep and the ductility reduces significantly. On the basis of fiber model method, a numerical analysis approach for predicting the skeleton curves of the PFCRC columns is developed. Additionally, a simplified skeleton curve including the elastic stage, strengthening stage and unloading stage is suggested depending on the geometric drawing method. Moreover, the loading and unloading rules of the PFCRC columns are revealed by analyzing the features of the skeleton curves. The quantitative expressions that are used to predict the unloading stiffness of the specimens in each stage are proposed. Eventually, an analytical model for the PFCRC columns under low cyclic loading is established and it agrees well with test data.

MD2 blockade prevents modified LDL-induced retinal injury in diabetes by suppressing NADPH oxidase-4 interaction with Toll-like receptor-4

Chen Huaicheng,Yan Tao,Song Zongming,Ying Shilong,Wu Beibei,Ju Xin,Yang Xi,Qu Jia,Wu Wencan,Zhang Zongduan,Wang Yi 생화학분자생물학회 2021 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.53 No.-

Modified LDL-induced inflammation and oxidative stress are involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. Recent studies have also shown that modified LDL activates Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) to mediate retinal injury. However, the mechanism by which modified LDL activates TLR4 and the potential role of the TLR4 coreceptor myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD2) are not known. In this study, we inhibited MD2 with the chalcone derivatives L2H17 and L6H21 and showed that MD2 blockade protected retinal Müller cells against highly oxidized glycated-LDL (HOG-LDL)-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. MD2 inhibition reduced oxidative stress by suppressing NADPH oxidase-4 (NOX4). Importantly, HOG-LDL activated TLR4 and increased the interaction between NOX4 and TLR4. MD2 was required for the activation of these pathways, as inhibiting MD2 prevented the association of NOX4 with TLR4 and reduced NOX4-mediated reactive oxygen species production and TLR4-mediated inflammatory factor production. Furthermore, treatment of diabetic mice with L2H17 significantly reduced LDL extravasation in the retina and prevented retinal dysfunction and apoptosis by suppressing the TLR4/MD2 pathway. Our findings provide evidence that MD2 plays a critical role in mediating modified LDL-induced cell injury in the retina and suggest that targeting MD2 may be a potential therapeutic strategy.

Study on Bond-Slip Behaviors of Self-Stressing Steel Slag Concrete-Filled Steel Tube

Feng Yu,Taiyao Chen,Kang Niu,Shilong Wang,Zhengyi Kong,Yuan Fang 대한토목학회 2020 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.24 No.11

The bond-slip behaviors of self-stressing steel slag concrete filled steel tubes (SSSSCFST) are investigated by carrying out the push-out tests. The influence of thickness to diameter ratio, confining parameter and expansion ratio of steel slag concrete (SSC) on bond-slip performance are analyzed. Investigations of the failure modes of each specimen indicate that the shear failure of the bond interface dominates the failure of the specimen. Further, three stages of the load-slip relationship curve of bond slip was observed, i.e., the loading stage, descending section and constant load section. In the loading section, with the increase in thickness to diameter ratio or confining parameter, the interface bonding force of specimen improves firstly and then decreases. Besides, the interfacial bond strength increases with enhancement of the expansion ratio. In the descending section, the interfacial bonding force raises with improvement of diameter-thickness ratio, while decreases as the confining parameter and expansion ratio increase. Moreover, the influence of considered parameters on the ultimate interface bond load is analyzed. Finally, a theoretical model for the bond-slip behaviors of SSSSCFST is proposed by accounting for the non-uniform distribution of interface bond strength. It indicates that the theoretical model can well capture the main features that are exhibited during the whole process of push-out test.
