  • ABSTRACT: Determining the reliability of power sources for induction technology is a complex task given the diversity of schemes solutions, technology applications and operating conditions. Trustworthy results for the dependability of power supplies for induction technologies are obtained by the using of operational reliability. For its determination has needed to create a database for electrical and thermal operating by specific environment conditions. Most important parameter is a temperature in cooling system of the power semiconductors. In this paper is considered reliability of power semiconductors in dependency of thermal resistance of heat sink and water flow through it. The results indicate the probability of failure of the power semiconductors in dependency of water flow through the aluminium or copper heat sink.

TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT CONSTITUTIVE MODEL OF THE SURFACE LAYER OF 2024-T3 ALUMINUM ALLOY SUBJECTED TO SURFACE PLASTIC DEFORMATION

  • TITLE: TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT CONSTITUTIVE MODEL OF THE SURFACE LAYER OF 2024-T3 ALUMINUM ALLOY SUBJECTED TO SURFACE PLASTIC DEFORMATION
  • AUTHOR(S): V. P. Dunchev, P. P.Peneva
  • ABSTRACT: A temperature-dependent constitutive model of 2024-T3 high-strength aluminum alloy is proposed, applying the "flow stress" concept. The model defines the relationship between the stress and strain tensors for a point of the surface layer subjected to surface plastic deformation (SPD). The model is developed on the basis of combined approach, which includes experimental test (identification test) and inverse finite element analysis of the experimental test. The developed constitutive model takes into account the temperature influence on the surface and sub-surface layers of 2024-T3 high-strength aluminum alloy in the range of T = (50 ÷ 300) ° C . The model can be used for numerical simulations in order to study the stressed and strained state of components subjected to SPD and consequent mechanical and/or temperatural loads

  • AUTHOR(S): T. P. Atanasov
  • ABSTRACT: Toroidal roller burnishing is a cost effective process for finishing of metal machine elements by means of surface plastic deformation. The surface integrity of the burnished components is characterized by low roughness, high micro-hardness and beneficial compressive residual stresses. The deforming tool is toroidal roller made of tool steel. In order to study the burnishing process, a corresponding device is necessary. This paper is devoted to synthesis and development of conventional roller burnishing device, allowing easy and quickly set of the geometrical and physical parameters of the process. For this purpose a morphological analysis of existing burnishing devices using rolling contact was made. Using the differential-morphological method, a device functional scheme is justify and chosen. On this basis, a construction of the device is designed and manufactured. The device is intended for comprehensive experimental study of the toroidal roller burnishing process

  • AUTHOR(S): B. I. Prydalnyi, Y. M. Kuznetsov
  • ABSTRACT: A new approach to creation spindle units with electromechanical drivers of clamping mechanism for machine tool by using the genetic-morphological approach is proposed. Certain provisions of the theory of genetic structural-schematic synthesis of spindle units according to objective search function are highlighted. The motor spindle with an electromechanical clamping mechanism is considered as a combined system that creates a spatial composition of two structures where each performs its function. The model of formatting technical units like "motor-spindle" as a complex combined system with possibility of its description at different levels of structural complexity is presented. The features of developing new technical system as a process of its evolution with transferring individual information from one generation to another are taken into account. Based on new principle, a combination of new and well-known technical solutions in the design of a new technical object is made. This approach opens up the possibility of formulating fundamentally new system-level tasks related to the identification principles of structural organization and the laws of development objects and systems of technological equipment.

  • ABSTRACT: The paper presents an original solution to the actual problem of increasing the efficiency of the drilling of composite materials of the carbonic group through the use of coupled electric rotary type machines whose combination of movements allows to obtain controlled rotary-reciprocating motion of the instrument. Show, by creating cyclic low frequency load of the cutting zone, it is possible to improve the efficiency and quality of processing, without destroying the composite. Stress state of the cutting zone in composite materials based on carbon fibers has been evaluated and it is proved that their processing with ring diamond-coated drills is reasonable and effective. The use of a cyclic linear feeder allows significantly reducing the thickness of the destructive layer and reducing the cutting force, requiring further research on the issue of rational geometric dimensions of the tool end, the presence of cavity elements on it to remove the microstrip from the processing area. It is also proven that the proposed design of a power head with coupled electric machines to provide rotary and translatory motion in coaxial execution is a promising technical solution that can be successfully implemented in both manual tools and automated processing programmed control systems.
