基于似然比检验的橡胶密封件加速试验机理一致性判别方法

加速退化试验广泛应用于橡胶密封件等长寿命产品的可靠性评估,试验过程中需要将高应力水平下的试验结果外推到正常应力水平。要获得准确的产品可靠性评估结果,需要保证加速应力下的退化失效机理与正常应力下的退化失效机理一致。基于似然比检验原理,提出加速退化试验机理一致性判别方法及流程。针对失效机理一致与失效机理变化两种场合,提出对数线性及非对数线性两类加速模型,并结合混合效应模型描述产品退化过程。利用似然比检验判断加速模型参数是否变化,完成失效机理一致性判别。仿真算例和应用实例表明,该方法能够有效判别橡胶密封件失效机理是否变化,并找到失效机理不变的应力水平边界。     

Planning gamma accelerated degradation tests with two accelerating variables

Gamma accelerated degradation tests (ADT) are widely used to assess timely lifetime information of highly reliable products with degradation paths that follow a gamma process. In the existing literature, there is interest in addressing the problem of deciding how to conduct an efficient, ADT that includes determinations of higher stress‐testing levels and their corresponding sample‐size allocations. The existing results mainly focused on the case of a single accelerating variable. However, this may not be practical when the quality characteristics of the product have slow degradation rates. To overcome this difficulty, we propose an analytical approach to address this decision‐making problem using the case of two accelerating variables. Specifically, based on the criterion of minimizing the asymptotic variance of the estimated q quantile of lifetime distribution of the product, we analytically show that the optimal stress levels and sample‐size allocations can be simultaneously obtained via a general equivalence theorem. In addition, we use a practical example to illustrate the proposed procedure.     

多种服役环境下航空铝合金疲劳裂纹扩展行为

通过收集机场环境数据并依据环境谱编谱流程,编制出试验室环境下航空铝合金加速腐蚀试验谱,并依据该谱开展LD2CS铝合金预腐蚀疲劳试验。统计分析试验数据,利用影响平均值方法,筛选出三个重要腐蚀损伤表征量,即最大蚀坑深度、最大蚀坑宽度、点蚀率。通过归一化无量纲处理和加权平均方法,计算出腐蚀损伤综合指标α。对比不同损伤程度下预制裂纹疲劳扩展行为特点,定义腐蚀加速系数Ω(α)。利用加速腐蚀第18—20a的试验数据验证Ω(α)表达式的有效性,得到预测值相对误差均小于10%,这说明修正后的疲劳裂纹扩展公式适用于表示腐蚀损伤对长裂纹扩展的加速作用,为航空铝合金的损伤容限设计提供新的思路。     

系统可靠寿命的不确定性分析及其高效方法

为了分析元器件失效率的不确定性对系统可靠性的影响,借鉴Borgonovo的矩独立灵敏度分析思想,在充分考虑了系统可靠寿命完整不确定性信息的情况下,提出了基于系统可靠寿命的矩独立重要性测度,用来分析不确定性条件下系统元器件失效率对其可靠寿命的平均影响。但由于系统可靠寿命函数是系统可靠度函数的反函数,一般无法解析表达而以隐函数的形式存在,致使该矩独立重要性测度难以高效准确求解。为了解决这一问题,文章提出了一种新的Kriging自适应代理模型的高效算法,该算法以Kriging代理模型预测值的变异系数作为自适应学习函数,通过自主增加新的试验样本,增强代理模型的预测准确性。阀门控制系统和民用飞机电液舵机系统两个算例分析表明,在保证计算精度的情况下,通过变异系数自适应学习函数,仅需添加少量系统可靠寿命试验样本,就能够构建用来充分近似系统可靠寿命函数的Kriging代理模型,解决了重要性测度的高效求解问题,从而验证了所提方法的合理性和算法的高效性。     

多体动力学仿真车辆传动齿轮疲劳寿命灵敏度分析

齿轮是机械传动中重要的传力构件,由于测试手段和试验方法的限制,齿轮设计的时候多采用静强度设计理论,无法准确地反应实际情况下的动态特性,导致齿轮的实际寿命和设计寿命有较大的差距。基于多体动力学仿真分析方法建立履带式车辆传动系统虚拟行驶试验平台,获得齿轮在不同工况下的动载荷谱。基于疲劳分析软件MSC.Fatigue获得了齿轮的疲劳寿命,进而改变齿轮的结构参数分析不同结构齿轮的疲劳寿命,得到其疲劳寿命随不同结构参数变化的规律,进行齿轮疲劳寿命的灵敏度分析,为齿轮的结构优化作了一定的探索。

Defence Spending and Income Inequality in Taiwan

The rising trend in income inequality has recently attracted a renewed interest in the determinants of this growing trend across many countries. This article adds to the debate by investigating the impact of defence expenditure as a possible determinant of inequality in Taiwan, a country once was considered to be a poster child of an equitable growth, but now income inequality has become one of the Taiwan’s growing challenges. Applying the bounds test approach to cointegration and four long-run estimators for the period from 1976–2011, we found a long-run relationship between the various measures of inequality and defence expenditure where defence expenditure exerts a positive and a statistically significant impact on the worse income inequality in Taiwan. Further application of the lag-augmented causality test procedure also reveals a unidirectional causality running from defence expenditure to income inequality with defence expenditure causing income inequality to rise.     

The mechanical performance and a rate-dependent constitutive model for Al3Ti compound

The Al₃Ti compound has potential application in the high temperature structure materials due to its low density, high strength and stiffness. The mechanical behaviors of the material under different loading rates were studied using compression tests. The results indicate that Al₃Ti is a typical brittle material and its compressive strength is dependent on the strain rate. Therefore, a series of rate-dependent constitutive equations are needed to describe its mechanical behaviors accurately. However, it is still short of professional research on the material model for Al₃Ti. In this study, the material model was developed on the basis of JH-2 constitutive equations using the experimental data. The model was then applied in simulating the impact process of Ti/Al₃Ti metal-intermetallic laminate composites so as to validate the established model. Good agreement between simulation and experiment results shows the constitutive model predict the material responses under high rate and large deformation accurately. This work provides more support for the theoretical and numerical research on the intermetallic.
