Summary: The aerostatic spindle in the ultra-precision machine tool exhibits complex multi-field coupling dynamics behavior, which can be better understood and improved through numerical investigation. A proposed 5-DOF dynamics model considers the interaction between the air film, spindle shaft, and motor, showing good performance in simulating the multi-field coupling behavior under external forces. This research contributes to further study of the dynamic characteristics of the aerostatic spindle.

Summary: Increasing the nozzle number can delay the appearance of synchronous radial error motion and reduce it to a certain extent, with the optimal number being a product of prime numbers. However, the presence of axial grooves and an increase in the number of nozzle rows may not reduce synchronous error motion, but could actually increase it. The accuracy prediction model provides a simple method for predicting synchronous radial error motion in orifice-compensated aerostatic bearings.

Summary: The characteristics of the squeeze film in aerostatic bearings were investigated using the dynamic Reynolds equation. The results showed that for compressible lubricants, the squeeze effect exhibited damping at zero frequency and stiffness at infinite frequency. The dynamic pressure in the static high-pressure region was also high at high frequencies due to gas compressibility. Transfer functions of the thin film were derived to analyze the dynamic performance of aerostatic bearings.

Summary: A bidirectional fluid-structure coupling dynamic model is established to analyze the dynamic properties of high-speed aerostatic journal bearing with recess, by coupling the governing equation of the transient air film flow, the flow balance equation, and the rotor motion equation. The influences of operating parameters on the coupling system are theoretically and experimentally analyzed based on trajectory of rotor axis, trajectory of rotor center, Poincare map, time response of rotor, frequency spectrum, mass flow rate, and bifurcation diagram. The results indicate abundant nonlinear behavior and determine the instability parameters of the system. This study provides guidance for the theoretical design and practical operation of this type of system.

Summary: In this study, a elasto-plastic constitutive model of friction incorporating the concept of superloading surface was developed based on the subloading friction model. The proposed model achieves a smooth transition of friction by describing the evolution rule of structure, treating the state with static friction coefficient larger than kinetic friction coefficient as the bulkiness of structure. The positive definiteness of the plastic multiplier, loading condition, and material parameters were derived, and the validity of the proposed model in accordance with the subloading-friction model was confirmed through a stick-slip simulation of a mass-spring system.

Three laser scanning strategies are proposed to achieve a sinusoidal textured surface, and the evolution of surface structure and chemical composition is discussed. The findings show that ridge structures enhance anti-wear properties but also increase the friction coefficient. However, the oil cover preparation method prevents the formation of ridges and improves wettability.

Summary: This study presents a systematic approach to generating control signals for a tactile simulator that simulate the touch of textile fabrics. By using a friction modulation tactile surface and acquiring forces from real surfaces with artificial finger mimicking fingerprints, control signals are generated and processed in the frequency domain before sending them to the tactile stimulator. The study focuses on the potential benefits of incorporating fingerprint information in fabric simulations to achieve a more realistic tactile perception. A sensory analysis with 36 participants using the generated control signals showed better discrimination without fingerprint information.
