And it is not easy to find the reason. In order to optimize the performance of the pump, the authors proposed DVVP driven by the hybrid Higher-order Fourier non-circular gears and tested it. There were also simi- lar periodic vibrations and noises under loads. Taking into account this phenomenon, the paper proposes fluid mechanics and solid mechanics simulation methodology to analyze the coupling dynamics between fluid and transmission system and reveals the reason. The results show that the pump has the reverse drive phenomenon, which is that the blades drive the non-circular gears when the suction and discharge is alternating. The reverse drive phenomenon leads the sign of the shaft torque to be changed in positive and negative way. So the transmis- sion system produces torsional vibrations. In order to confirm the simulation results, micro strains of the input shaft of the pump impeller are measured by the Wheatstone bridge and wireless sensor technology. The relation- ships between strain and torque are obtained by experimental calibration, and then the （rue torque of input shaft is calculated indirectly. The experimental results are consistent to the simulation results. It is proven that the peri- odic vibrations are mainly caused by fluid solid coupling, which leads to periodic torsional vibration of the trans- mission system.展开更多

The practical application of rising ZICs still faces the specific capacity and dynamics mismatch between the two electrodes with different energy storage mechanisms, which cannot meet the ever-growing indicator demand for portable electronic displays and public traffic facilities. Focusing on these unresolved issues, this mini-review presents recent advances in ZICs referring to the hybrid energy storage mechanism, design strategies of both capacitor-type and battery-type electrode materials, and electrolyte research toward advanced performances(e.g., high operational potential, wide adaptive temperature). Finally, current challenges and future outlook have been proposed to guide further exploration of next-generation ZICs with a combination of high-power delivery, high-energy output and high-quality service durability.展开更多

Hardware-in-the-loop （HIL） simulation is an important and effective method to test the usability, reliability, and safety of real docking mechanisms in space. There are four main issues for HIL simulation systems： Design of simulators capable of high frequency response, high motion precision, high velocity, and rapid acceleration; compensation for simulation distortion; design of a control model for the HIL simulation process; and experimental verification. Here, we propose a novel HIL simulator system with a 6-DOF 3-3 perpendicular parallel mechanism and a 3-DOF 3-PRS parallel mechanism; discover the principle of simulation distortion; present distortion compensation models for the force measurement system, dynamic response, and structural dynamics of the simulator; and provide a control model for the HIL simulation process. Two kinds of experiments were performed on the pas- sive-undamped elastic rod and the docking mechanisms to test their performances and to verify the effectiveness and usability of the HIL simulator. The HIL simulation system proposed in this paper is useful for developing space docking, berthing, refu- eling, repairing, upgrading, transporting, and rescuing technologies.展开更多
