Based on the problem of incomplete mining of Additive Manufacturing (AM) potential caused by the limitations of current Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) methods, this paper proposes to integrate Additive Manufacturing and axiomatic design to obtain the global conceptual design method of products to be manufactured with AM. In response to the lower process dependence of AM technology compared to traditional processes, two integration measures of “influence region division” and “process domain forward” are proposed, and finally, the axiomatic design process for AM is obtained. Taking the assembly-free integrated design of mechanical fingers imitating dexterous hands as an example, the conceptual design method studied was validated. The application of innovative features such as flexible finger joints and lattice-filled finger joints shows that the design method proposed in this paper can deeply tap into the manufacturing potential of AM, achieve lightweight and integrated molding of products, which provides useful references for designers.
In order to further improve the operating efficiency of wind turbines and explore the aerodynamic performance of the complex motion of wind turbine blades under yaw loads. In this study, the change in the angle of attack of the blade section airfoil under yaw load can be modeled as an oscillating airfoil and combined with the blade's flapwise motion. The NREL S809 airfoil are chosen for the research, based on the SST k-ω turbulence model with transition correction, under the condition of Reynolds number of 10 6 . The effect of phase difference on its aerodynamic performance under combined flapwise and pitching motion in various flapwise amplitudes and working conditions were analyzed. For the combined oscillations, the effects of the flapwise amplitude ( h ) in the range of 0.2≤ h ≤0.5 are investigated with the phase differences of Φ=±3π/4, ±π/2, ±π/4, 0. The results show that the phase difference between the pitching motion and the flapping motion and the different flapping amplitudes can have a large impact on the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil during dynamic stall, but the degree of influence is greatly different in different situations.
