    According to the milling characteristics of ball-end milling cutter, a mechanics model of milling force was established. Using empirical formula, the feed rate optimization of NC code for machining free-form surface was realized under constraint of nearly constant cutting force,so as to decrease the fluctuation of cutting force. Thus, the machining quality and efficiency of part were improved and the service life of cutting tool was prolonged. Moreover, tool breaking, stab injuries of workpiece caused by tool breaking and other phenomena can be avoided. Finally, a prototype system under constraint of nearly constant cutting force was set up and an example was given to verify the effectiveness of the method. 

    The heave motion of supporting ship affects the launching
    and recovering of remotely operated vehicle(ROV).Active compensation control of hydraulic winch was used to improve the launching and recovering safety of ROV by reducing the heave speed of tether management system (TMS). The model of hydraulic winch was built and active heave compensation feedforward control was set up. Active heave compensation tests of ROV indicate that non-linearity of hydraulic winch decreases the efficiency of active heave compensation. Hydraulic winch active heave compensation predictive control was designed. Simulation test shows that hydraulic winch active compensation predictive control with parameters identification of hydraulic system improves the efficiency of heave compensation.

    A method was suggested to solve the multidisciplinary optimization problem with uncertainty both in objective function and constraints. Uncertainty variables were given as interval model. Based on the method of order relation of interval number,the uncertain objective function was transformed into two deterministic objective functions. The uncertain inequality constrains were converted into deterministic inequality constrains through modified possibility degree. The constraint optimization problem was turned into non-constraint optimization problem by penalty function method,and multidisciplinary feasible method was used as optimization method. The effectiveness of the method was demonstrated by test function and engineering case.

    Some factors which could affect the Bumpy-ridge coefficient were experimented. On a series of experiments, it is found that Bumpy-ridge coefficient is obviously larger than friction coefficient. To a degree, various figures of interactions between Bumpy-ridge structures will affect Bumpy-ridge coefficient. As the pre-force is improved, Bumpy-ridge coefficient will increase to a steady value therefore. The alternative load will not destroy Bumpy-ridge connection. Instead, it is helpful to the self-adaptive effect of Bumpy-ridge structure. In practice, Bumpy-ridge structure has been successfully applied to several engineering projects.

Based on the properties of complex systems, a model was developed to optimise the inspection schedule for a multi-defect component using a probability and random process. The inspections were intended to detect any defect in the components, which may be imperfect. The situation of imperfect inspections and non-constant inspection intervals were considered. An algorithm was presented to optimise the intervals of inspections in order to maximize the reliability of the components. A case study was carried out where the proposed model was used to schedule the rail inspection at a high speed railway network. 
