摘要The traditional method of performance degradation prediction and maintenance of rolling bearings only considers a single sensor signal,which makes it difficult to automatically partition degradation stages and prone to over-detection.A new method of performance degradation evaluation and maintenance of rolling bearings based on data-level fusion,adaptive health state partitioning,and state maintenance is proposed.Firstly,considering the degradation and impact in the process of bearing deterioration,the multi-sensor signals are dynamically weighted to achieve data-level fusion.Secondly,a bearing health index was established based on fast spectral correlation,Wasserstein distance,and linear rectification techniques.On this basis,by combining the Bayesian information criterion and the elbow rule,the precise division of rolling bearing health state is realized through hidden Markov model regression.Then,random forest was used to classify and predict the data to verify the validity of the proposed data fusion method and health indicator.Finally,condition-based maintenance strategy based on the fourth moment,stress-strength interference model,and Gamma process is proposed to avoid excessive detection and reduce maintenance costs.Through accelerated degradation experiments and field validation tests on the rolling bearing test data set of Xi’an Jiaotong University and FEMTO(PRONOSTIA),the accuracy and superiority of the proposed method in the prediction and maintenance of bearing health state are verified.

摘要The model-based correlation between the chemical composition,process parameters,and mechanical property of the steel lies at the heart of the design of rolling process optimization.Yet,the hot rolling process is characterized by tightly coupling,many variables,and nonlinearity.The complicated link between the chemical composition,process factors,and mechanical properties of the high strength steel makes it difficult to construct a mathematical equation.On the basis of industry data for hot rolling,thermodynamic methods were applied to compute the effective Ti concentration here.Random forest was used to create the corresponding relationship model of the chemical composition,process parameters,and mechanical property for the high strength steel,obtaining a high level of mechanical property prediction precision.The root mean squared error for predicting yield strength is 21.07 MPa,for predicting tensile strength it is 19.12 MPa,and for predicting elongation it is 2.18%.Using the same chemical composition billet in conjunction with multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition algorithm algorithm and taking into account the limits of the process circumstances,the best designs for the hot rolling process of different strength level steels are accomplished.The viability of process optimization is determined by industrial tests and theoretical analysis of the strength increment.

摘要Width spread is a critical quality indicator in the hot strip rolling(HSR)manufacturing process.To improve prediction accuracy,a physics-informed machine learning framework with residual learning(PI-MLRL)is proposed,in which a mechanism model,a light gradient boosting machine(LightGBM)-based residual learning module,and a physics-constrained distillation mechanism are integrated.By combining physical consistency with nonlinear fitting capability,an accurate mapping between process variables and width spread is achieved.Experimental results show that the proposed framework outperforms the mechanism model and seven representative data-driven models in terms of mean absolute error,root-mean-square error,and coefficient of determination.Moreover,Shapley additive explanations(SHAP)method is employed for interpretable diagnostics of PI-MLRL predictions,clarifying the effects of key variables on width spread under different operating conditions.Finally,the proposed framework was deployed on a 2160-mm HSR production line,and application results showed that the width spread prediction error was maintained within±3 mm,thereby confirming its engineering applicability.

摘要The effects of plate surface mechanical rolling treatment(P-SMRT)on the microstructure and tribological behavior of Inconel 625 alloy were investigated.The results reveal that P-SMRT induced the formation of a gradient nanostructure(GNS)strengthening layer with a thickness of 700μm on the surface of Inconel 625 alloy.The GNS formation was driven by the interaction between deformation twins and dislocations,leading to the development of shear bands that transformed into ultrafine grains and nanograins.The hardness of the samples with GNS was 192.7%higher than that of the untreated samples.In addition,the tribological properties of the P-SMRT and untreated samples were investigated through dry sliding friction and wear tests.These findings indicate that the P-SMRT induced GNS accommodated greater strain,reduced strain localization,and inhibited surface material exfoliation and transfer,thereby significantly enhancing the wear resistance of Inconel 625 alloy.

摘要Conventional cross rolling is influenced by the force couple effect of symmetrical rollers,resulting in the c-axis of the plate grains being oriented perpendicular to the rolling surface.This orientation contributes to a high degree of work hardening and mechanical anisotropy,thereby complicating subsequent processing.In this study,the hard plate cross rolling(HP-CR)process is put forward for the first time,and the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of rolled AZ31 Magnesium plate were analyzed.The results indicate that,in comparison to traditional cross rolling(CR),the average grain size of the HP-CR is refined to 5.33µm.Additionally,the average yield strength and elongation of the sheet are enhanced by 15.2%and 35.2%,respectively,while the average tensile strength is 283 MPa,and the r value decreases by 39.8%.These changes are attributed to the combined effects of grain refinement,microstructural homogenization,and basal texture weakening.On the one hand,the substantial energy stored in the original lattice distortion serves as a driving force for the dynamic recrystallization process,facilitating the elimination of the deformed grain structure.This process increases the proportion of recrystallized grains from 5%to 82%,reduces the degree of work hardening,and correspondingly decreases the density of geometrically necessary dislocations(ρGND)by 70.8%,accompanied by the formation of high-angle grain boundaries(HAGB).On the other hand,dynamic recrystallization promotes grain rearrangement,resulting in an increased number of grains oriented in the transverse direction(TD),which diminishes the texture strength of the basal plane.Concurrently,the activation of non-basal slip systems reduces the resistance to dislocation sliding in various directions,significantly reduces the degree of mechanical anisotropy and enhancing the plastic deformation capacity of the plate.This research provides valuable scientific insights and technical foundations for the large-scale manufacturing of high-performance AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets.

摘要Shortly after the commencement of service operations,a distinct form of localized rolling contact fatigue(RCF)was identified on the wheels of a metro line.Field investigations revealed that most fatigue damage measured less than 10 cm in length and 1.5 cm in width,accompanied by significant material spalling and flaking.These defects were found to be distributed exclusively around the flange root and the region outside the nominal rolling circle,with approximately 78.6%concentrated at the flange root.Furthermore,trailer wheels exhibited a markedly higher incidence of RCF compared to motor wheels.To elucidate the underlying failure mechanism,a multibody dynamics model of the metro vehicle was established using SIMPACK,with numerical simulations performed based on actual track geometry and operational data.The analysis indicated that the line contained numerous small-radius curves.Lubricators installed along the high rail in these curves contaminated the rail surface,leading to a significant reduction in the adhesion coefficient on that side.When trains were braked while negotiating curves-particularly at stations located on such curves-the resulting low-adhesion conditions induced localized RCF on the wheels on the high-rail side.Additionally,the decreased adhesion on the high-rail side caused increased tread wear on the wheels of the low-rail side,which further promoted fatigue damage initiation at the flange root.The higher incidence of RCF on trailer wheels was attributed to two primary factors.First,as the leading wheelset,the trailer wheels were the first to contact the oil-contaminated rail,thereby experiencing the most severe adhesion degradation.Second,motor wheels generally exhibited higher tread wear rates,which helped to remove incipient surface cracks before they could develop into macroscopic RCF damage.By implementing a regimen of regular cleaning to remove oil contamination from both rail surfaces and wheel flanges,the wheel-rail adhesion conditions were substantially improved.This intervention effectively suppressed the occurrence of the localized rolling contact fatigue problem.
摘要Isolation technology can reduce the type of structural damage that earthquakes cause.A new type of composite sliding-rolling friction composite seismic isolation bearing(SRF)with composite sliding friction and rolling friction is proposed.SRF is capable of realizing a parallel arrangement of sliding friction and rolling friction,and the coefficient of dynamic friction shows variability.The proposed static tests on composite bearings were conducted to investigate the effects of the number of shims,loading speed and vertical pressure on the dynamic friction factor.Test results show that the coefficient of dynamic friction first generally decreases and then increases with an increase in sliding speed,prior to again decreasing with an increase in vertical pressure.The dynamic friction factor increases and then decreases with an increase in the number of shims for a four-roll ball.It decreases and then increases with an increase in the number of shims for a five-roll ball.Based on finite element analysis,modeling and analyzing the effects of the coefficient of friction,the number of balls and the number of shims on the hysteresis performance of the support and derive its skeleton curve.The SRF hysteretic performance,dynamic friction factor and the number of rolling balls and shims show significant correlation.

摘要The numerical simulation and experimental investigation on the surface microtexture evolution of austenitic stainless steel(ASS)thin strip during asymmetric rolling(ASR)process are involved.The crystal plasticity finite element method was employed to evaluate the deformation behavior of ASS thin strip during ASR,and also,the deformation behavior of ASS thin strip during symmetric rolling was comparatively studied,with a purpose of unraveling the surface microtexture evolution mechanism during ASR.Both numerical and experimental results demonstrate an increase in the surface roughness of strip surface in contacting with the roll of fast side,along with the increase in the differential speed ratio during ASR.A comprehensive analysis on ASR mechanism is performed,revealing that the equivalent strain rate increases in conjunction with the increase in the differential speed ratio,resulting in uneven plastic deformation of grains and the formation of undulated surface microtexture,which ultimately compromise the surface quality.In addition,ASR introduces remarkable shear force on the workpiece,thereby promoting the formation of{112}and{111}oriented grains.The effects of{112}and{111}components on the slip and deformation behavior are discussed,and the results show that{112}orientation is detrimental to the surface roughness of ASS thin strip during ASR,whereas{111}orientation exerts a negligible influence on the surface roughness of ASS thin strip during ASR.

摘要Superalloy thin-walled complex-section rings,vital for industrial sealing systems,face challenges of localized wall thinning and section springback during deformation.To address these challenges,this work developed an Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted(UVA)rolling process,where Ultrasonic Vibration(UV)was applied to ring via feed roller.However,circumferential rotation and structural variation of the ring induce dynamically inhomogeneous acoustoplastic effect,thereby complicating process prediction and control.To this problem,a quantification method comprising three key components was proposed:(ⅰ)an acoustoplastic constitutive model related to Acoustic Energy Density(AED)to describe the ring's mechanical re sponse,(ⅱ)a Gaussian function to model the circumferential AED distribution,(ⅲ)a cyclic coupling calculation framework of ultrasonic and deformation fields to capture the axial AED evolution.Using this method,an UVA rolling finite element model of W-section ring was established to reveal the evolution of AED and its influence on deformation.Radial UV concentrates energy in contact zones,exacerbating localized thinning,while axial UV induces uniform AED,suppressing thinning and springback.A spatiotemporal matching strategy of ultrasonic and deformation fields was finally proposed to improve deformation behavior during rolling forming.This work offers a new approach for high-performance manufacturing of thin-walled complex-section rings.

摘要The issue of fatigue damage to rails has become increasingly prominent with the rise in subway traffic and speed.The hazardous space of the turnout frog significantly intensifies the dynamic interaction between the vehicle and the frog rail,leading to more pronounced fatigue damage in the turnout rail.This paper focuses on the No.9 turnout fixed frog commonly used in subway lines.A three-dimensional explicit transient rolling contact finite element model of the fixed frog is established.The dynamic response of wheel-rail rolling contact is analyzed under various speeds and vertical stiffness conditions.Rolling contact fatigue crack locations,angles,and initiation life were investigated.The research indicates that the 30 mm top width cross-section of the nose rail is most susceptible to fatigue cracks,which initiate on the rail surface.The angle between the crack initiation surface and the lateral direction is between 70°and 95°.Higher speeds result in shorter fatigue life,while the vertical stiffness of the fastener has less of an effect.The simulation results align with findings from field surveys.The established model and research conclusions can provide theoretical support for optimizing fixed frog structures and predicting fatigue life.

摘要The evaluation of the hot workability and applying it to hot rolling process are crucial for the optimization of microstructure of steel.In this study,the hot workability of Q 1100 steel was studied by a combination of hot compression tests,hot rolling application,and microstructure characterization.The results show that the established recrystallization kinetic models can effectively predict stress variation during hot deformation.The calculated DRX volume fraction is positively related to deformation temperature,and negatively related to the strain rate and Zener-Hollomon parameter.Then the relationship between hot working parameters and microstructure evolution was established by drawing the hot processing maps.The hot processing maps were further applied to hot rolling.When the steel is rolled inside the optimum hot processing window,the macroscopic surface of the steel plate is relatively flat,and its microstructure is mainly composed of continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX)grains.The orientation difference between CDRX grains and the adjacent grains is small.When the steel is rolled inside the flow instability region,cracks appear on the macroscopic surface,and the microstructure includes deformed grains and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization(DDRX)grains.The DDRX grains have a large orientation difference with adjacent grains.

摘要The flow behavior of molten steel in the thin slab mold under high casting speed conditions was investigated,with a focus on the multi-mode continuous casting and rolling mold.A steel-slag two-phase flow model was established using large eddy simulation,the volume of fluid,and magnetohydrodynamics methods through numerical simulation.The maximum flow velocity and wave height at the steel-slag interface within the mold are critical evaluation criteria for analyzing asymmetric flow under varying casting speeds and electromagnetic braking.The results indicate that the asymmetric flows within the mold do not occur synchronously.The severity of the asymmetric flow correlates with the velocity difference across the steel-slag interface.A greater biased flow prolongs the time required to revert to a steady state.When the magnetic field intensity is set to 0.24 T and the magnetic pole position is at 390 mm from the steel-slag interface,this configuration can reduce the velocity of the steel-slag interface,thereby mitigating the asymmetric flow.Additionally,it can diminish the velocity,impact depth,and impact intensity on the narrow face of the jet,thus improving the distribution of velocity and turbulent kinetic energy within the mold.This configuration prolongs the time required for the steel-slag interface to transition from a stable state to its maximum velocity and shortens the time for the interface to return to stability from an unstable state.Moreover,it ensures the positional stability of the steel-slag interface,confining its position within−3 mm.

摘要The design of high-strength and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy sheets is challenged by the inherent contradiction between strength and thermal conductivity,as well as the complex variables involved in the rolling process.In this study,Mg-xZn-0.5Gd-0.5Y(at.%)(1/x=0.5,1.0,1.5)alloys were developed by adjusting the atomic ratio of rare earth(RE)elements to Zn.In the subsequent multi-pass hot rolling process,the influence of various factors on the microstructure and comprehensive properties of alloys with different compositions was obtained.With the decrease of RE/Zn atomic ratio,the W phase gradually dominates,which ensures the high thermal conductivity throughout the preparation process.Additionally,the thickness reduction per pass plays a decisive role in the properties of alloys by affecting the precipitates,dislocations and grains.The reheating between passes plays a coordinating role in the whole rolling process through the twin-induced static recrystallization mechanism.The findings indicate that leveraging the advantages of large thickness reduction per pass and effectively coordinating strain accumulation is a viable strategy for progressively enhancing the strength of highthermal-conductivity magnesium alloys,ultimately leading to superior comprehensive performance.This study provides systematic research results for the composition design and process optimization of high-strength and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy rolled sheets,which is helpful to promote the performance breakthrough and application expansion in this field.

摘要The accuracy of wheel-rail rolling contact force is of great significance for vehicle dynamics simulation.A wheel-rail rolling contact behavior model considering wheelset yaw is proposed.The NORM algorithm is adopted to solve the wheel-rail normal contact problem.The extended creep force model(ECF)is used for the tangential contact problem,which considers different interfacial conditions,temperature in the contact area,and the elastoplastic behavior of the third body.A fatigue life prediction framework based on the critical plane method is introduced to evaluate the contact fatigue damage under the coupled influence of yaw angle and interfacial conditions.The effects of wheel yaw angle on the contact pressure and wheel-rail rolling contact fatigue life under dry and wet conditions are investigated.The results show that under both dry and wet conditions,increasing yaw angle leads to an increase in creepage,expansion of the sliding area,enhancement of creep force,and a simultaneous increase in the contact area temperature,thereby causing an increase in the fatigue parameter(FP).The wheel-rail rolling contact life with yaw angle is shortened compared to that without yaw,and the life decay rate under wet condition is slower than that under dry condition.
