To reveal the electromechanical coupling dynamic characteristics of the wind power transmission systems under the variable speeds and variable load operation conditions， the electromechanical coupling model of the wind power transmission systems including the gear system dynamics model， the finite element model of permanent magnet synchronous generator and the operation control model of wind turbine was established， taking into consideration of the nonlinear factors such as gears time-varying meshing stiffness， cogging effect and magnetic saturation of generators. The dynamic responses of the systems under the starting and power generation operation conditions and the electromechanical coupling dynamic characteristics of the system were analyzed. The results show that the dynamic responses of the wind power transmission systems are stable under the starting condition； under the power generation operation condition， the wind power transmission systems are under a variable speed and variable load state， and low-frequency torsional vibrations are vulnerable to be excited and dynamic responses are complicated. Under the effects of generator cogging， magnetic saturation and other factors， the currents and electromagnetic torques may produce main harmonic frequency fluctuations caused by time harmonics and space harmonics. Because of the electromechanical coupling effects， the gear vibration characteristics and the electromagnetic characteristics may affect each other. The currents and electromagnetic torques contain more mechanical vibration frequency components related to gear meshing. At the same time， the electromagnetic torques react to the gear systems， which excites rich structural frequency components of the gear systems.

 Aiming at the problems of dry cutting aluminum alloys that were prone to scale thorns and poor surface integrity under low and medium cutting speeds, the orthogonal cutting experiments of aluminum alloy 7075 were carried out at different machining parameters using liquid nitrogen. The surface topography of workpieces and distribution of scale thorns were analyzed through scanning electron microscope, and the dimensions of scale thorns were measured by 3D surface profiler accurately. The effects of cutting speeds, feed rates, rake angles and cooling strategies (dry cutting, liquid nitrogen cooling, cutting fluid) on the distributions and sizes of scale thorns were analyzed. Based on the formation theory of scale thorns, the effects of machining parameters and liquid nitrogen cooling on the formation processes of scale thorns were discussed. Accumulated metals were a necessary and sufficient condition of the formation of scale thorns, and might be inhibited by improving tribological properties between chip and rake face. The results show that high cutting speed, low feed rate and large tool rake angle may reduce the thickness of accumulated metals, and inhibit the formation of scale thorns. Under cryogenic cutting conditions, the distribution density and size of the scale thorns are less than that of dry cutting, and a finishing surface topography of workpieces may be obtained.

 For the automatic detection of weld defects in large storage tanks, a wall-climbing robot needed to complete automatic omni-directional scanning. Firstly, according to the force state of the wall-climbing robot under different operating conditions, a mechanics model of the wall-climbing robot was established to analyze and obtain the four unstable hazards of non-sliding, non-longitudinal rollover, non-lateral rollover and compound motion state. The force state of the permanent magnet adsorption wheel was simulated and optimized by Maxwell software to meet the adsorption requirements. At the same time, the coding wheel with auxiliary adsorption function was designed to supplement the margin of safe adsorption force while feeding back the position information to increase the obstacle crossing and anti-instability abilities. Finally, according to the design model, the wall-climbing robot body was manufactured and tested. The test results prove that the robot designed herein may realize the omnidirectional driving operations with load stability at various ustable hazards.

To precisely machine advanced ceramics with enhanced machining efficiency, a new type of water jet machining method was proposed based on fluid self-excitation, termed self-excited oscillating abrasive water jet machining(SEO-AWJM). ANSYS Fluents large eddy simulation model was used for fluid simulation. Simulation results show that with the inlet velocity of 135 m/s and the cavity length of 4 mm, the downstream nozzle outlet pulse rate reaches a maximum of 28.47%. The pulse characteristics of the jet beam cause periodically changes of stagnant layer of workpiece surfaces. Thereby a higher peak wall shear force was obtained and the force reciprocated on workpiece surfaces. SEO-AWJM experiments were conducted, the length of the chamber was adjusted to obtain the best fluid self-excited effectiveness, and silicon nitride substrate was processed. Experimental results show that after 10min fixed-point machining, the maximum removed depth is as 7.5 μm with abrasive water jet machining(AWJM)，while it is as 9.4 μm with SEO-AWJM. The initial surface roughness value Ra was 108.9 nm. After 6 times of AWJM, Ra reaches a stable value of 47.9 nm, after 4 times of SEO-AWJM, Ra reaches a stable value of 51.3 nm.

To improve the performance of using fine-tune to construct deep neural network surrogate models(named also by DSMs), an active closed-loop Monte Carlo method for design of experiments was presented. The design point was associated with the model gradient through Fisher information matrix, and solved by multiplication algorithm.

Based on this method, a DSM of action characteristics of a telescopic forklift was constructed with multilayer perception, and combined with minimizing the predictor and expected improvement to realize the design optimization of the hydraulic control systems. Experimental results show that compared with the benchmarks, the simulation data required by the proposed method is reduced by 64.3%.

To effectively reduce the impact of low-frequency vibration of the base on measurement accuracy of precision instruments， a vibration attenuation method of periodically arranged absorbers was proposed. The dynamics model of substrate-vibration isolation equipment-vibration absorber system was established， the analytical solution of coupled vibration equation of the systems was derived by modal superposition method and verified by finite element method. The influence laws of number and parameters of vibration absorbers on low frequency vibration performance of the systems were obtained， when the total number of vibration absorbers was fixed， which was divided into several periodic cells with different number of resonators. Taking 0.7 times of the maximum amplitude and 0.3 times of the average amplitude as objective function， the parameters of resonator in cell were optimized by PSO algorithm. Results show that within the target frequency range， the relative errors between the analytical solution and the finite element one are as 4.39% and 2.98% respectively. Within the target frequency range， for the single-resonator cell， the vibration attenuation performance with 5 resonators is the best and the vibration attenuation efficiency is as 11.34%. When the mass ratio， natural frequency ratio and damping ratio of the absorber are around 0.16， 0.8 and 0.18 respectively， the vibration attenuation performance is the best， and the damping efficiencies are as 10.46%， 8.69% and 12.20% respectively. The vibration attenuation efficiency of optimized single-resonator， double-resonator， and triple-resonator cells may achieve 12.45%， 18% and 18.3% respectively.

To overcome the poor generalization and low accuracy of the traditional surface roughness prediction model of CNC milling, a novel surface roughness prediction method of CNC milling was proposed based on multi-source heterogeneous data. Firstly, the static data such as processing parameters, tool diameter and workpiece material and dynamic data such as vibration signals, force signals and power signals were collected in CNC milling with variable technologies. Then, particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm was used to optimize the network structure parameters of CNN for obtaining PSO-CNN, which might adaptively extract the features of dynamic data. Features of static data were manually extracted. A shallow neural network was carried out to fuse the features of multi-source heterogeneous data such as dynamic data and static data, which might be used to build surface roughness prediction model of CNC milling with variable technologies. Finally, the superiority of the proposed method was demonstrated according to the performance comparison tests with different surface roughness prediction models. And, the validity of the proposed method was verified by the example of two workpiece machining.

Relocalization-based eye-hand calibration algorithm was proposed to solve the problems of manual errors and quadratic errors in hand-eye calibration in robotic grinding systems. Taking the photographic 3D scanner as the calibration object, the hand-eye calibration mathematical model of the robot was analyzed, and then the calibration scheme was constructed by using the criterion sphere that moved around tool center point in robot end-effector coordinate frame. By virtue of the least square method, the relocalization center coordinate in the scanner coordinate frame was calculated, both translation vector and rotation matrix were calibrated by using the quaternion-based multi-space points coupling, and then the conversion matrix from scanner coordinate frame to robot base coordinate frame was obtained. Both of the hand-eye calibration and blade grinding experiments shows that the sphere fitting radius deviation of the proposed algorithm reduces to 0.068 mm, which is reduced by at least 38% compared with the existing algorithms. Meanwhile, the average blade surface roughness value Ra after grinding is reduced to 0.273 μm from the value of 2.5 μm after milling operation, and the profile errors reach within ±0.08 mm, which meet the technical requirements, thereby the proposed method is verified to be effective and accurate.

 Based on design structure matrix， the process coupling analyses were difficult to effectively solve the multi-agent decision optimization problems in the change of complex product designs， such as the coupling of process correlation， the readjust of designs， and the reallocation of design resources. Moreover， the theory of decision optimization with the agent as a completely rational agent deviated greatly from the specific practices. An optimization method of complex product design change decision was proposed considering the psychological perception of the agent under process correlation. The prospect theory was used to construct the complex product design change decision optimization model with the objective function of minimizing the psychological disturbance of the design agent repeated execution and the delay period of design change. A thing and season-based adaptive multi-objective dynamic scheduling algorithm  was proposed by using two-layer coding method combining process and design agent. At last， the rationality and validity of the above decision model and method were verified by the comparison experiments and result analyses of the example simulation.
