Industrial robot-based system design of thickness scanning measurement using ultrasonic

Abstract. Wall thickness is one of the core indicators for measuring the quality of large thin-walled parts such as rocket siding and aircraft skin. However, the traditional handheld thickness measurement method has high labor intensity, low efficiency and poor accuracy consistency. Therefore, an in situ ultrasonic automatic scanning thickness measurement method for large thin-walled parts based on industrial robots is proposed. This “industrial robot + ultrasound” integrated function is a compact system, and a set of innovative methodological or technical solutions is presented, such as (i) TCP and UDP communication protocols being constructed to realize a high-speed and stable communication relationship between the upper computer, robot motion controller and ultrasonic thickness measurement unit; (ii) a coupling gap adjustment method based on eddy-current sensors being adopted to ensure the adaptability of the ultrasonic probe to surface topography of the measured part during scanning measurement; and (iii) a multi-sensor coordinate unified model and coupling gap state discrimination model being established for robot-aided thickness measurement. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method, a series of calibrations and experiments were designed based on the KUKA robot platform and the developed ultrasonic pulse measurement system. Finally, the industrial robot-based ultrasonic thickness scanning measurement has been built and tested for performing the measurement of a rocket tank wall.

Pectinmethylesterase affects the flow behavior of orange pulp.

In the orange juice industry, pulp (ruptured juice sacs) is separated from the juice after extraction and pasteurized separately before blending back with juice or sold for other food applications. However, pulp is not always pasteurized immediately after extraction and the flow behavior is affected by endogenous pectinmethylesterase (PME). This is particularly important because of the high power required to pump orange pulp in industrial pasteurizers. This study characterized the effect of PME on the flow behavior of citrus pulp during storage at 4 °C using rotational rheometry and during pulp storage at 22 °C using capillary rheometry. PME activity was 0.011± 0.001 PEU for the pulp used in rotational rheometry and 0.030± 0.002 PEU for the pulp used in capillary rheometry. Rotational rheometry was used to assess the effect of PME on the Power Law parameters at shear rates ( ) below those that cause slip. There were no significant differences among storage time on the flow behavior index (n). However, the consistency coefficient (K) increased with storage time. Significant differences were found after 12-hr storage increasing from 120± 30Pa·sn to 160± 15Pa·sn (16.7%) after 24 hr. Capillary rheomtery was used to assess the effect of PME on the pressure drop in a flow system. Significant differences were found at or after 12-hr storage. The mean pressure drop increased by 34% after 24 hr, for a flow rate of 50×10-6 m3 /s (0.8 GPM) in an 8.9-m long (29.2ft), 0.022-m (1-in) diameter pipe. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Design and optimization of processing equipment and industrial handling systems of orange pulp require detailed knowledge of its rheological (flow) properties. Citrus pulp is rich in pectinmethylesterase, an enzyme that causes thickening of the product when not inactivated during pasteurization. Understanding how fast PME affects the flow properties of orange pulp is important for citrus processors to decide how long pulp can be stored before pasteurizing it.

Application of Fuzzy Situational Networks in Decision Support Systems in the Transport Industry

The article deals with the design of decision support systems in the transport industry based on fuzzy situational networks, which are parameterized by a set of states and transitions between them. The proposed model is represented as a fuzzy hierarchical situational-event network. A mechanism for the dynamic formation of fuzzy situational networks has been developed. The obtained optimal estimates of control decisions that come out of the network nodes represent the basic mechanism for generating transition estimates. In the general case, the use of situational networks as a basic technology for creating decision support systems presupposes the existence of a knowledge base with a structure corresponding to the description of knowledge in the formed model of a fuzzy situational network.

Numerical simulation of ammonia/methane/air combustion using reduced chemical kinetics models

Ammonia appears to be a potential alternative fuel that can be used as a hydrogen vector and fuel for gas turbines and internal combustion engines. Chemical mechanisms of ammonia combustion are important for the development of ammonia combustion systems, but also as a mean of investigation of harmful NOx emissions, so they can be minimized. Despite of large body of experimental and modelling work on the topic of ammonia combustion, there is still need for additional investigation of combustion kinetics.The object of this work is further numerical study of ammonia combustion chemistry under conditions resembling industrial ones. After literature review, three mechanisms of ammonia combustion that also include carbon chemistry are used for simulation of experimental premixed swirl burner with the aim of evaluating their performance. San Diego mechanism, that was also the most detailed one, proved to be the best in terms of emissions, but neither one of the models was able to accurately reproduce CO emission after equivalence ratio went beyond 0.81. It was also observed that oxygen is excessively consumed. This study contributes to the current knowledge by providing new insights in ammonia burning conditions closely resembling those in industrial applications, and consequently is expected that insights obtained will help in the design of real industrial burning systems.

Industrial Design and Development Software System Architecture Based on Model-Based Systems Engineering and Cloud Computing

Oriented to the new generation of cyber-physical manufacturing, this paper introduces two breakthroughs of industrial design and development software system: model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and cloud computing. Based on the classic V model for product development, an MBSE double-Vs model is refined which takes both model life-cycle and product life-cycle into consideration for design process re-engineering. Then cloud computing and its re-structuring on traditional industrial software system are discussed. Shift from classic single approach, this research proposes an industrial design and development software system architecture based on model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and cloud computing. The new architecture is shown in a stereoscopic way which amply utilizes the respective advantages of MBSE and cloud computing. At the end of the paper, as an example of actual cases, a flight management system (FMS) design and development platform is detailed to verify the effectiveness of this new architecture. The implement of new system architecture creates an efficient collaborative mechanism for FMS developing.

Optimal Design of Secondary Fume Extraction Systems in Ferroalloys Production: from Principles to Operation

In ERAMET Norway AS (ENO) as one of the world’s largest producers of different grades of high manganese alloys, sustainable operation has always been a priority. There are therefore continuous activities in different plants of ENO in order to reduce environmental footprints of our operations. One of the main areas of focus in such activities has been reducing diffuse emissions through design and implementation of efficient fume extraction systems based on a systematic approach. Optimal design of secondary fume extraction systems in ferroalloys industry has always been challenging. The main reason for this, is the diffuse nature of emissions which are generated from different metallurgical processes. Although design of fume capturing systems based on principles of diffuse emissions extraction is the key for high performance capturing of generated fumes from molten slag and metal but there are several operational details, practical aspects and external parameters which should be taken care of them while making an industrial design. These aspects may cause deviation of a design from its ideal conditions because of the need for necessary modifications of the design. In order to make optimal design for secondary fume extraction systems with, having full overview on practical and operational aspects, applying industrial competences, using process information and operational data and applying proper modelling methods to evaluate performance of the system at each st ep, from initial idea to final design, are of great importance. In this work, principles for design of efficient secondary fume extraction systems, main reasons of deviation from best design in the industry and ENO’s practice based on the systematic approach for making an optimal design considering all operational restrictions, is presented.

Combined rotational and capillary rheomtery to determine slip coefficients and other rheological properties of orange pulp.

The characterization of the rheological properties of orange pulp under typical processing temperatures is needed for the design and optimization of orange pulp processing systems. The flow of orange pulp produced slip at shear rates at ∼1 to 5 s-1 . Rotational rheometry revealed that the flow behavior of orange pulp before slip occurrence followed the Power Law model for concentrations of ∼500 to 800 g/L at 4 to 80°C. The consistency coefficient (K) ranged from 33 to 234 Pa·sn and the flow behavior index n ranged from 0.18 to 0.24. Both, K and n decreased with temperature. While K fitted well an Arrhenius-like model, n best fitted a linear model. As concentration increased K increased linearly, while n was not significantly (P >0.05) affected. The flow without slip was calculated using the Power Law parameters from rotational rheometry and the wall shear stress (σw ) from capillary rheometry for the experimental flow rates. This allowed calculating the corrected slip coefficient βc and obviated the need for pipes with multiple diameters. βc decreased by one order of magnitude when temperature increased from 4 to 50 °C when σw was 0.1kPa. The effect was exacerbated with increased flow rate. Similarly, βc increased by about one order of magnitude when pulp concentration increased from ∼550 to 850 g/L at 80°C. The increase in βc with temperature indicated that the effect of temperature in the consistency of the bulk was different from its effect on the consistency of the liquid phase near the pipe wall. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Design and optimization of processes equipment and industrial handling systems of orange pulp require detailed knowledge of their rheological (flow) properties. Citrus pulp like fruit pastes and purees produce less friction than one would anticipate when they flow because the liquid fraction acts as a lubricant. This study presents an original method for such characterization and shows that wall slip is greatly affected by temperature and concentration.

Algorithmic Strategy for Simultaneous Optimization of Design and Maintenance of Multi-Component Industrial Systems

This article describes a new approach to simultaneous optimization of design and maintenance of large-scale multi-component industrial systems. This approach, in a form of an algorithm, aims to help designers in the search for solutions by characterizing the components and their architecture including maintenance issues. The aim is to improve the performance of the industrial systems by maximizing the Total Operational Reliability (TOR) at the lowest Life Cycle Cost (LCC). In the case of this research, the term "design" refers to the reliability properties of the components, possible redundancies, faulty component accessibility, and the ability to improve the component real-time monitoring architecture. The term “maintenance” refers to maintenance plan adapted to the opportunistic dynamic maintenance plan. Simultaneous optimization of design and maintenance is achieved by a two-level hybrid algorithm using evolutionary (genetic) algorithms. The first level identifies the optimal design solutions calculated relative to the TOR and the LCC. The second proposes a dynamic maintenance plan that maximizes the reliability of the system throughout its operating life.
