Dynamic crushing characteristics of spruce wood under large deformations
An extensive series of large deformation crushing tests with spruce wood specimens was conducted. Material orientation, lateral constraint and loading rate were varied. Regarding material orientation, a reduction in the softening effect and the general force level was observed with a higher fiber-load angle. A comparison with characteristics gained by application of Hankinson’s formula showed discrepancies in compression strength and the beginning of the hardening effect. Lateral constraint of the specimens caused a multiaxial stress state in the specimens, which was quantified with the applied measuring method. Further, a higher force level compared to specimens without lateral constraint and significant hardening effect at large deformations resulted. Thus, the influence of a multiaxial stress state on the force level could be determined. An increase in the loading rate led to higher force levels at any displacement value and material orientation.

The Analysis on Fire Smoke Exhausting Robot Vibration Based on Wavelet Transform
Belt relaxation, which affects a lot on operation reliability of the fire smoke exhausting robot, is hard to detect. In this paper, a new method for belt relaxation feature recognition based on continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is proposed, and a vibration model which simplified the robot as a 2-dof forced vibration system under harmonic excitation is established. The vibration acceleration signal has been collected using the IEPE sensor and data acquisition card, experimental results verified the accuracy of the vibration model, and weak impact signal caused by the belt relaxation was distinguished, that testify the practicability of the CWT method in belt relaxation feature recognition.
