    A sliding mode-neural network scheme based on hybrid trajectory was proposed to track the hybrid trajectory of a space flexible manipulator, meanwhile, the flexible vibration can be suppressed. In order to actively suppress the flexible vibration, the hybrid trajectory for sliding mode-neural network controller was generated by using the virtual control force concept, which reflected the flexible variables as well as the rigid desired trajectories. Based on the hybrid trajectory, the new sliding mode-neural network control can be designed. Simulations results confirm that the proposed control scheme can dominates the trajectory tracking the coordinated motion and actively suppress the vibrations in the presence of parameter uncertainty.

    In order to resolve the problem of reducing the dynamic errors for CMM,the dynamic error sources were firstly analyzed. A model of CMM’s dynamic errors was built up with BP neural network, which broke through the limit which was modeling only for each component of the system. Also the derivation of complicated mathematical relationships can be avoided. As the BP network has the problem of
    local minimum value and its approximation rate is slow,the particle swarm optimizer algorithm for BP network was introduced. Initial weight of BP neural network model for CMM was optimized by PSO, and it can improve the ability of global optimization for BP network and processing speed. In order to get training data a standard ball was measured on CMM of type Global Class 9158, and error compensation model was established.Experiments were made to verify the model. Results show that the mean error of CMM can be reduced 2.3μm by using the model.

    A generalized 3-dimensional multi-DOF dynamics model for spiral bevel gears was proposed and the influence of time-varying friction coefficient on the gear dynamic responses was analyzed. Mixed EHL model was also proposed to predict the instantaneous friction coefficient at each contact grid cell along the contact zone.
    The comparison results to published empirical friction coefficient formulae show that mixed EHL model can predict friction coefficient more accurately.Lastly,comparing to time-varying friction coefficient, constant friction coefficient and without friction case,
     the simulation results of dynamic meshing forces and dynamic transmission errors are demonstrated that sliding friction and time-varying friction coefficient have greater effects on dynamics of spiral bevel gears.

By sample analysis, natural frequency of transverse vibration of the grinding block holder is 5.68Hz. It will produce resonance when the spindle frequency and grinding block holder frequency of the step come closer, the resonance is the main reason of tile fragmentation. The results were verified through experiments. The spindle frequency can be controlled within 8.7Hz range. As a result, high grinding efficiency, low tile fragmentation can be achieved.

    In the laser direct metal manufacturing process with coaxial powder feeding, when the powder was injected to the molten pool in the substrate,some of the metal powders would rebound. The rebound powders would clog nozzles and the dusts would pollute the laser lens. As a result, a mid-route gas was introduced. When the three-route gas (the mid-route gas, the carrier gas and the outer shielding gas) was simultaneously injected under hindered jet condition, by using the discrete phase model of FLUENT software, the influences of each gas on powder convergence were studied respectively to determine the range of each gas flow rate. Then the optimal mix relationship of the three-route gas was simulated using orthogonal method in order to guide experiments. The influences on powder convergence of three-route gas were verified through indirect methods. The results show that:experimental results are consistent with the simulation ones.

    Based on the Castigliano’s second theorem, the equations were formulated for the compliance and precision of an elliptical flexure spherical hinge. A new concept of compliance accuracy ratio of flexure spherical hinge was proposed, which was used as the performance index of hinges. Optimization was done, and the results show that materials of hinges should be with high elastic modulus and low shear modulus; all of the wide-angle, the ratio of long half axis to short half axis and the ratio of the minimum thickness to short half axis of ellipse should be as little as possible on the premise of ensuring strength. A view point was proposed,that fatigue strength must also be considered except for improving performance while designing the flexure hinges, and the check formula of fatigue strength was derived. 

    Since the deformation of vehicle frame will lead to axial steering, a flexible two freedom model of rhombic vehicle was modeled considering the attached angular displacement produced by axial steering.The rhombic vehicle was simplified as the continuous beam supported by three points, the relationship among the attached angular displacements produced by axial steering and the lateral acceleration was analyzed by three moment equations. The comparisons between the flexible two freedom model and the rigid two freedom model of the rhombic vehicle suggest that the deformation of the vehicle frame affects stability of the rhombic vehicle, reduces the flexibility of the rhombic vehicle and reaction capability of the rhombic vehicle to the driver’s operation.
