  • Publication number: 20220284150
    Abstract: This patent studies a scale-span modeling method to simulate the structural mechanical responses and dynamic progressive failure behaviors of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) in drilling. Firstly, considering the different mechanical behaviors of fiber and matrix in micro state, a three-dimensional multi-scale dynamic progressive damage evolution model based on micro failure theory is proposed. Based on the degradation elastic parameters of microcomponent in typical volume element model, a new damage evolution model of fiber and resin matrix and an auxiliary deletion criterion of failure element are proposed. Secondly, the relationship between the macro stress and the micro stress of representative volume element in the composite model is established by using the stress amplification factor. Combined with the bilinear cohesion element model, the damage behavior of the composite in and between layers under the cutting action of dagger drill is simulated.

  • Patent number: 11152861
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a multiphase converter design with multi-path phase management circuit and output logic. The phase management circuit and output logic can be employed to implement phase adding and shedding operations based on input and output current information and based on control signals for a power stage of the converter. In some examples, the design employs an estimate of an average output current based on a current at an input of the converter for phase control. In additional examples, the design employs cycle-by-cycle current limit and maximum duty-cycle signals to enable phase quickly during load transient. In further examples, the design employs low input and output-current sensed signals for efficient phase shedding and power saving. The design herein improves an overall accuracy of phase adding and shedding, load transient response performance, an operational efficiency and thermal performance of multiphase converter.
