1 Description

CAD Geometry

The vertical stand represents a structural part of a machine tool. On one of its surfaces a pair of guide rails is located. Caused by a machining process a tool slide is moving on these rails. The machining process produces a certain amount of heat which is transported through the structure into the vertical stand. This heat source is considered to be a temperature input at the guide rails. This transfered heat amount leads to deformations within the device induced by the prevailed temperature field denoted by $x$. The evolution of this field is modeled by the heat equation

$c_p\rho\frac{\partial{x}}{\partial{t}}=\nabla.(\lambda\nabla x)=0$

with the boundary conditions

$\lambda\frac{\partial x}{\partial n}=q \qquad\qquad\qquad$ on $\Gamma_{slide}$ (surface where the tool slide is moving on the guide rails),

describing the heat transfer between the tool slide and the vertical stand. The heat transfer to the ambience is given by the Robin-type boundary condition

$\lambda\frac{\partial x}{\partial n}=\kappa(x-x_{ext})$ on $\Gamma_{surf}$ (remaining boundaries),

which describes t.

Width ($x$ direction): $519mm$,

Height ($y$ direction): $2\,010mm$,

Depth ($z$ direction): $480mm$

The heat load $q$ induced by the slide and the external temperature $x_{ext}$ serve as the input $u$ of the corresponding state-space system.

The motion of the tool slide and the associated variation of the affected input boundary are modeled by two different system representations.

3 Data

and investigated

3.2 Parametric System Data

The data file Data_VertStand.tar.gz contains a MAT_File matrices.mat which consists of the matrices

$E,A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n},B_{slide}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times 1},B_{surf}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times 5}, n=16\,626$

in sparse format and a file with the coordinates of the mesh nodes called coord.txt.

Here $B_{slide}$ consists of all nodes located on the guide rails.

In order to get a parameter dependent matrix $B_{slide}(\mu)$ one has to pick the "active" nodes (nodes hit by tool carriage) at vertical position $\mu$. The "active" nodes are in the interval of $[\mu-\frac{d}{2},\mu+\frac{d}{2}]$, where $d$ is the heigth of the slide.

The file coord.txt provided in Data_VertStand.tar.gz includes a column with indices followed by three additional columns containing the spatial coordinates $x,y,z$ of the corresponding nodes.

The matrix $B_{surf}$ describes the locations where the external temperatures act on. The first column is responsible for the input of the temperature at the clamped bottom slice of the structure. Column 2 describes the ... part of the stand. Columns 3 to 5 describe different thresholds with respect to the height of ambient air temperature. The third column includes the nodes of the lower third $(y\in[0,670)mm)$ of the stand. In column 4 all nodes of the middle third $(y\in[670,1\,340)mm)$ of the geometry are contained and the fifth column of $B_{surf}$ includes the missing upper $(y\in[1\,340,2\,010]mm)$ part.
