A wavelet network suitable for dealing with multi-input and multi-output system is constructed. The network is optimized by reducing the number of wavelets handling large dimension problem according to the sample data. The algorithms for sparseness analysis of input data and fitting wavelets to the output data with orthogonal method are introduced. Then Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to train the network. Simulation results showed that this method is capable of solving the inverse kinematics problem for PUMA560.展开更多

By establishing the position equations of the mechanism and obtaining the forward solutions, a better decoupling of the mechanism was proved. Based on the Jacobi velocity transfer matrix, the possible singularity configurations were studied and the methods avoiding these configurations discussed. Although improving the rigidity, the 4R structures in the mechanism also resulted in new singularity configurations. By analysis of a feasible instance, this kind of parallel mechanism can avoid all singularity configurations. Meanwhile, it was proved that the design of structure parameters and the choice of inputs range are important for rigidity and stability of parallel mechanisms.展开更多

It was found that there was a dramatic coupling effect between the confined etching process and the slow-rate mechanical motion because of the concentration distribution of electrogenerated etchant caused by the latter. In this article, the coupling effect was investigated systemically by comparing the etchant diffusion, etching depths and profiles in the non-confined and confined machining modes. A two-dimensional(2 D) numerical simulation model was proposed to analyze the diffusion variations during the ECMM process, which is well verified by the machining experiments. The results showed that, in the confined machining mode, both the machining resolution and the perpendicularity tolerance of side faces were improved effectively. Furthermore, the theoretical modeling and numerical simulations were proved valuable to optimize the technical parameters of the ECMM process.展开更多
