    To address the issues of data annotation scarcity under small-sample conditions and domain shift in cross-domain applications in fault diagnosis, a domain adaptation strategy integrating contrastive learning was proposed. First, a hierarchical feature alignment mechanism was adopted to jointly optimize domain-level adversarial adaptation and class-level contrastive learning. This mechanism balanced the transfer of domain-invariant features and the preservation of class discriminability, thereby improving the fault classification accuracy in the target domain. Second, a one-dimensional domain-shared convolutional neural network(CNN) was constructed to extract the common features of data from the source domain and target domain. By combining the unsupervised domain discriminative loss with a gradient reversal layer to optimize domain-level adaptation, the transferability of domain-invariant characteristics was enhanced. Finally, an unsupervised contrastive loss function was designed to optimize class-specific information. This function constrains the intra-class compactness and inter-class separability in the feature space, enabling class-level alignment under limited samples and effectively suppressing misidentification of class boundaries. The cross-condition unsupervised experimental results on both the constructed planetary gearbox test rig dataset and the public bearing dataset show that the diagnostic accuracy generally exceeds 95% in multiple cross-condition transfer tasks. Compared with several unsupervised domain adaptation methods, the proposed method achieves a significant performance improvement, validating its effectiveness and superiority in small-sample unsupervised cross-condition fault diagnosis.

    To address the issues of insufficient accuracy, operational complexity, and the high cost of popularizing precision calibration methods for micrometer-level precision motion stages in lithography and similar precision equipment, a cost-effective visual calibration method was proposed based on adaptive gradient Zernike moments(A-Zernike moments).First, initial edge points were screened based on the morphological features of the target. Adaptive extraction of sub-pixel edges was then achieved through a linear gradient model, gradient sampling, and Gaussian fitting, thereby accurately obtaining the target center position. Subsequently, by analyzing the variation patterns of errors, an association model was established between system parameters and changes in target position to realize multi-parameter integrated calibration. Finally, based on the calibration results, a conversion relationship was constructed between image coordinates and stage displacement to accomplish the calculation and compensation of positioning errors. Experimental results show that the edge detection accuracy of the A-Zernike moment method is improved by 47.41% compared with traditional methods, and the maximum positioning error of the stage is reduced from 15.601 μm to 0.783 μm after calibration. The proposed method significantly enhances the calibration efficiency and reliability of micrometer-level motion stages.

    To ensure the quality of endoscopic imaging for detecting surface defects in inner holes of complex shaft parts and to avoid collision and scratching between the endoscope and the workpiece, a method was proposed herein for detecting the pose of shaft-hole parts based on monocular endoscopic imaging. Considering the characteristics of monocular endoscope imaging with many interference contours, a method was proposed for removing interference contours based on length constraint and minimum enclosing circle constraint. The improved Otsu method was adopted for image threshold segmentation, the Suzuki contour extraction algorithm was chosen for edge contour extraction, the proposed interference contour removal method was used for target contour selection, and the radial search was employed to extract the contour point set of the target inner hole. Considering that the contour point set was discrete and contained error points, and that incomplete target contours were caused by uneven illumination when the endoscopic light source was significantly offset in position and orientation, an ellipse detection algorithm was proposed based on contour restoration. Finally, considering the ambiguity problem in pose solving, a disambiguation method was proposed based on angle constraint and grayscale distribution,which leveraged the characteristics of endoscopic imaging:only circular features, rich grayscale information, the part being moved by the manipulator during pose detection, and the center of the inner hole being close to the optical axis. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed pose detection algorithm herein. The position detection accuracy in the X and Y axis directions is 0.062 mm, and the attitude detection accuracy around the X and Y axes is within 1.4°, which meets the requirements of enterprises.

    As high-end manufacturing equipment, the fine blanking press was directly affected by the health of its hydraulic valves in terms of service life and machining accuracy. Current research on diagnosing spool sticking faults has primarily relied on manually constructed testing platforms, lacking validation in industrial environments. Therefore, a fault diagnosis method was proposed for spool sticking in the rapid approach system directional control valve of the fine blanking press, based on FBG sensor and 1D convolutional neural network (1DCNN). Using the HFB-500 fine blanking press as the test subject, AMESim simulations were conducted to investigate the impact of spool sticking on the slide and valve, thereby determining the measurement points and data acquisition methods for the FBG sensor. Subsequently, experimental data were processed through Savitzky-Golay(SG) filtering and baseline drift removal. The results demonstrate that the FBG sensor may accurately capture the characteristic increase in rapid approach time during spool sticking faults. Finally, a classification accuracy of 99.9% was achieved by 1DCNN for spool sticking faults. The superior performance of 1DCNN was verified through comparative analyses with support vector machine(SVM) and long short-term memory(LSTM) models, demonstrating its capability to accurately identify spool sticking faults.

    To address the issue that the effectiveness of fault feature extraction of VME method in axle box bearing fault diagnosis was affected by manually preset parameters, a parameter-adaptive variational mode extraction method was proposed based on the improved mean kurtosis. An improved mean kurtosis index that does not require predefining the number of subsegment divisions was utilized to adaptively determine the optimal parameter combination of penalty factor and center frequency, and the desired mode with the highest improved mean kurtosis value was subjected to envelope spectrum analysis to diagnose its fault type. The proposed method was applied to the processing of experimental data pertaining to three different fault types in axle box bearings for locomotives, metros, and passenger trains. The results show that the proposed method may effectively solve the parameter selection problem of VME and accurately extract the fault characteristics of three different types of axle box bearings. Compared with the Autogram and CFFsgram methods, the superiority of the proposed method in extracting fault frequency and its harmonic frequencies of axle box bearings is verified.

    To address the problem of accurately detecting the early degradation moment of rolling bearings, a degradation state assessment model was proposed based on CMWRFDE and ATSNE. First, the CMWRFDE algorithm was utilized to extract multi-scale degradation features from the collected vibration signals. Then, the ATSNE algorithm was employed to compress and reduce the dimensionality of the extracted multi-scale features, constructing a comprehensive characteristic indicator that accurately represents the performance changes of the rolling bearing. Finally, the performance degradation assessment result of the rolling bearing was obtained through a health threshold strategy based on Chebyshev's inequality. The results demonstrate that the proposed model accurately characterizes the performance degradation trend of rolling bearings, promptly detects the initial degradation moment,and enables precise assessment of the bearing's degradation state.

    To address the problem that feature ambiguity caused by concurrent multiple faults in mechanical meta-action units leads to difficulties in diagnosis and control, a method based on multi-fault coupling modeling was proposed to analyze fault characteristics. First, taking the worm rotation meta-action unit as an example, key faults were extracted. Looseness of the support was simulated based on a piecewise linear spring-damper model. The coupling misalignment fault was simulated based on an additional combined misalignment excitation force. Second, integrating a rolling bearing dynamic model, the worm dynamic model was established. The above fault models were integrated to establish a multi-fault coupling dynamic model for the worm rotation meta-action unit. Then, the acceleration responses of the worm under normal conditions, single looseness fault, single misalignment fault, and the coupled fault state were solved using numerical analysis method. Spectral analyses were performed on these responses. Finally, based on the existing experimental platform, actual acceleration time-domain signals under the above four states were collected and analyzed. Spectral analyses were also performed on the actual signals. A comparison between simulation and experimental results verifies the accuracy of the established multi-fault coupling model.

    Aiming at the problem of class sample imbalance in crack detection of wing spars, a crack classification model was proposed based on cross-scale feature fusion with an improved Swin Transformer V2(CSFF-ISTV2), and a triplet dynamic weight balance loss function was designed. First, the global attention mechanism was introduced into the Swin Transformer V2 module to enhance the global long-range dependence modeling ability. At the same time, the multi-layer perceptron was optimized by combining the gated linear unit and the Swish activation function to improve the accuracy of feature expression. Second, a cross-scale attention fusion structure was constructed to make up for the deficiency of single-scale receptive field feature extraction. Finally, the recognition ability of a few crack samples was enhanced by the triplet dynamic weight balance loss. The experimental results show that the geometric mean criterion value of the proposed model is 86.27% and the accuracy is 98.29% under the condition of significant sample imbalance across multiple categories. Compared with the baseline Swin Transformer V2, the two indicators are improved by 33.5% and 4.44%, respectively.

    To address the problems of insufficient multi-scale feature extraction, weak spatio-temporal dependency, and inadequate cross-domain feature fusion in rolling bearing fault signals under complex operating conditions, a multi branch graph attention fusion network(MBGA-FuseNet) was proposed for bearing fault diagnosis. First, a dual-branch graph neural network architecture was constructed: a graph-level Transformer with improved positional encoding was combined with an adaptive multi-scale Chebyshev graph convolutional layer to enhance node topology and achieve cross-scale adaptive fusion of information from different neighborhoods. Furthermore, an inter-block global self-attention encoder was incorporated to enhance the deep representation and hierarchical correlation of feature representation. Second, a nonlinear canonical correlation analysis(NL-CCA) node-level cross-channel feature fusion module was designed to realize adaptive correlation and dynamic weighted fusion across branches at the node level. Third, a improved channel fusion attention module(CFAM) was proposed by introducing a faster convolutional gated linear unit(Faster-CGLU) mechanism, which refines the granularity of channel gating signals. Finally, for temporal feature modeling, a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) was employed to capture temporal dependencies. Moreover, a hierarchical inter-domain frequency-temporal feature synthesis(HIFTFS) was developed to deeply cross-fuse features from the temporal, frequency and spatial domains. Experimental results on multiple publicly available bearing datasets demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms other comparative models under various operating conditions and signal-to-noise ratios.

    To address the challenges of data imbalance and difficult feature extraction in fault diagnosis of wind turbine pitch systems, a fault diagnosis method was proposed based on an improved conditional generative adversarial network(ICGAN) and a multimodal feature fusion network(MMFNet). Based on the traditional conditional generative adversarial network(CGAN) architecture, an attention layer was introduced to strengthen the model's ability to capture key information from input features. An autoregressive model was adopted to generate random noise, which improved the diversity and authenticity of generated samples. A reward mechanism was embedded to optimize the model training process and enhance the quality of generated samples. Based on this, the MMFNet model was constructed to achieve accurate diagnosis of multiple faults in wind turbine pitch systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ICGAN-MMFNet model achieves precision and F1-score above 0.96, as well as recall above 0.97 under various sample quantity ratios. The effectiveness and generalization of the proposed fault diagnosis model were verified when dealing with imbalanced datasets.

    In lightweight design processes of bipedal robots, the optimization design of many parts had not yet achieved the ideal structural forms, and ultimately only rely on the designer’s experiences for subsequent adjustments and corrections. Thus, the existing topology optimization methods were systematically sorted out and introduced into the structural design of mechanical thighs. By constructing a mathematical model for lightweight optimization design of mechanical thighs, and following the topology optimization processes, the initial design geometric model of the mechanical thighs was designed with different unit densities and optimized minimum sizes. Finally, four topological structures were obtained, which reduce the mass by 535.4 g, 494.3 g, 423.8 g and 569.2 g respectively. According to the actual working conditions and machining process requirements, the third scheme was selected for strength simulation verification. The simulation results show that compared with the processed configuration, under the condition of set distributed force, the maximum displacement deformation of the optimized design is 0.9012 mm, which is significantly smaller than that of the original design of 1.188 mm; under the condition of set distributed force and torque resultant force, the maximum displacement deformation is 1.799 mm, which is also smaller than that of the original design of 2.377 mm. The component mass is reduced by 38.45%, and the performance of the optimized design is better than that of the original design, which verifies the accuracy of the finite element model and the effectiveness of the optimized design.

    A high-dimensional global parameter optimization method was proposed for engineering boom systems to address unstable parametric geometry, the trade-off between simulation accuracy and efficiency, and accuracy loss in high-dimensional surrogate modeling. Adaptive parametric geometry modeling expanded the design space; system-level response reconstruction improved finite element efficiency while retaining accuracy; and the surrogate information transfer-based optimization(SITFO) algorithm integrated radial basis function(RBF) and Kriging models. For a 59 m concrete pump truck boom system, the optimized design reduces mass by 18.46% and maximum deformation by 10.6%, demonstrating the method's applicability to high-dimensional mechanical-system optimization.

    A dynamic response analysis framework was proposed for elastic beams to solve the problem of rail dynamic response stimulated by high-speed moving loads, incorporating axial-vertical coupled deformation of the rail and frictional sliding at assembly interface. By integrating the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of input loads such as electromagnetic repulsive force, armature expansion force, preload force, recoil force, and friction force, a comprehensive structural dynamics model was established, which included the vertical and axial coupling vibration of the rail, the axial vibration of the containment/insulator, and the dynamic slip characteristics of the containment-rail-insulator assembly interface. The accuracy of the proposed model was examined by comparing it with strain data measured by fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. It was found that significant axial deformation occurred in the mid-front section of the rail due to the effects of electromagnetic recoil force and armature-rail friction force, after the armature passed through and before it exited, which may lead to degradation damage such as low-cycle fatigue and creep. In addition, a high-speed precursor wave was observed ahead of the armature on the rail, which was inferred to have originated from the forward propagation of the axial stress wave caused by the electromagnetic recoil force. These findings fill the gap in axial-vertical coupled deformation analyses in current rail dynamic response research, and provide a theoretical basis for the lifespan optimization and reliability assessment of the containment-rail-insulator assembly structure.

    CFRP and titanium alloy stacked structures were widely used in aerospace and other fields. However, drilling these structures presents significant challenges due to severe tool wear caused by the substantial differences in material properties, directly impacting assembly quality and machining costs. Recent advances were systematically reviewed in research on tool wear during the drilling of CFRP/titanium alloy stacked structures. The review focused on elucidating the wear mechanisms of tools in both the CFRP and titanium alloy layers and their coupling effects during stacked machining. The analyses covered the influence of key factors such as tool material, tool geometry, and cutting parameters on tool wear. Additionally, the detrimental effects of tool wear on hole quality were discussed, and strategies for mitigating wear were summarized, including cooling and lubrication techniques and vibration-assisted drilling processes. The review also outlines tool wear monitoring technologies based on multi-sensor fusion and machine learning algorithms. Finally, future research directions were proposed, including the development of novel tool materials, intelligent tool design, optimization of composite machining processes, and intelligent wear monitoring systems.

    Micro shading detection components were widely used in high-precision displacement and motion sensors, where strict dimensional accuracy and precise assembly were required. To address the challenges of vision-based detection and bonding control during their automated assembly, a precision assembly method for such components was proposed herein. An automated precision assembly system equipped with a six-degree-of-freedom(6-DOF) robotic arm was developed. Vision feedback was employed to provide multi-directional alignment guidance during assembly; the flexible movement of the robotic arm was leveraged; locating pins mounted on precision motion mechanisms were used as reference markers; and the impact of the robotic arm's repeated positioning errors was ingeniously eliminated. Without additional hardware, the system achieved multi-directional measurement and alignment guidance of parts in complex micro-assembly using only a single camera. Moreover, to ensure the reliability of micro-scale adhesive bonding, a pre-adjustment method was proposed for dispensing parameters and nozzle positioning. Specifically, by integrating calibration blocks and vision measurement, precise control over adhesive volume and droplet positioning was realized. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves an assembly error of less than 10 μm, with an orientation deviation of less than 0.2°. For adhesive droplets with a diameter of 300 μm, the positioning deviation is controlled within ±10 μm, and the uniformity deviation of droplet diameter is within 9%. These performances fully meet the alignment and bonding requirements of precision assembly tasks.

    Focusing on a specific wind turbine gearbox with a planetary gear train supported by journal bearings, a multi-tooth transient 3D contact model was developed considering transient planet gear deformations, tooth surface contact loads, and dynamic component displacements. Taking the gear pair contact and the journal bearing support as interface coordination conditions to couple the components, a rigid-flexible coupled dynamics model of the planetary gear train system was established to analyze the influence of transient planet gear deformation on the dynamic characteristics of the planetary gear train. Results show that the planet gear exhibits elliptical deformation under the combined action of meshing forces and oil film force, with local vibration responses correlating with gear mesh frequencies. Transient planet gear deformation mitigates the tooth contact compression degree of the gear pair, suppresses vibration, and improves load distribution. However, excessive structural flexibility of the planet gear pair periodically causes a nonlinear “contact–loss–contact” meshing phenomenon, leading to transient peak tooth loads and elevating the risk of fatigue failure.

    A 3D analysis of the sealing unit of a double-row deep groove ball bearing was carried out using finite element method. The degree to which the inner diameter of the sealing ring, the sealing ring fillet radius, the inner diameter of the retaining ring, and the inner ring fillet radius affect the contact characteristics of the sealing unit was revealed through multiple regression analyses and principal component analyses. The mechanisms by which these four parameters influence the contact characteristics of the double-row deep groove ball bearing sealing unit were also explored. Results show that the influence of structural parameters on the contact characteristics of the sealing unit decreases in the order: sealing ring inner diameter, inner ring fillet radius, sealing ring fillet radius, and retaining ring inner diameter. Changes in the first three parameters alter the contact morphology at the sealing ring-inner ring interface, thereby modifying the single-factor response trends. After optimization, the minimum effective contact stress increases by 16.28%, while the frictional force decreases by 30.95%. The accuracy of the finite element method and the calculated contact characteristics was verified by experiments.

    A stiffness performance index for precision grinding and polishing scene was proposed, and the robot stiffness was improved based on hierarchical adaptive genetic algorithm. The kinematics and static stiffness models of the robots were constructed, and the operational stiffness matrix was obtained through the joint stiffness identification experiments. Based on the flexibility ellipsoid at the grinding points of the robots, combined with the stiffness and stability of the robots on the grinding and polishing paths, a comprehensive stiffness performance index was designed for grinding and polishing conditions. Fitness-driven parameter adjustment and population stratification mechanism were introduced, and differentiated genetic strategies were used to optimize the grinding point posture for different layers of the population. The experimental results show that, without changing the structure and material of the robots, the deformation amounts reduce by 80%, and the robot stiffness is effectively improved.

    To improve positioning accuracies of precision linear platforms at micro-stroke scales, based on their mechanism under different displacement scales and assembly errors, an optimization method for assembly error decoupling and positioning accuracy improvement was proposed. First, using a refined probability density function transfer operator and the many-to-many error distribution coupling mappings of “components–assembly error items-geometric accuracies”, a comprehensive prediction model for precision motion platforms was established, including positioning accuracy variation trends during assembly and assembly error transfer laws; second, with assembly sequences as variables, error measurement verifications and coupling mapping characterizations were performed by indirectly changing assembly error couplings; then, based on assembly error transfer laws, platform assembly optimizations and positioning accuracy improvements were realized.Optimized assembly results show that, per ISO standards, at a 1 mm stroke, bidirectional positioning error decreases from 20 μm to 6 μm, absolute distribution means from 3.9 μm to 0.5 μm, and standard deviations from 4.9 μm to 2.4 μm, indicating that this method is effective for improving precision linear platform positioning accuracies.

    Targeting the wear characteristics of hole-traversing sealing, an adaptive finite element model was proposed based on a multi-layer material model. By implementing the multi-layer material model, the computational errors in gradient state variables were mitigated effectively during adaptive meshing of hyperplastic materials. Large-scale wear simulation and experiment results demonstrate that there is distinct classification characteristics in both stress state and wear morphology between different materials, which results in two corresponding sealing failure modes, contact surface wear induced sealing failure and shear failure after deformation. A predictive model was established for the contact stress under the first failure mode. Further, the mechanism of failure modes was elucidated providing fundamental basis and practical optimization strategies for enhancing seal reliability.

    The high heating rate of SPS technology might cause significant temperature differences within the sintering system, thereby affecting the uniformity of the structure and properties of sintered specimens. The COMSOL Multiphysics software was used to construct a two-dimensional thermo-electrical coupling finite element model with controllable temperature over time by introducing a PID algorithm. The reliability and accuracy of the model were verified through sintering experiments in calculating the current field and temperature field. The influence of the added conductive phase TiCN content on the electrical conductivity of Si3N4-based ceramic tool materials was analyzed based on effective medium percolation theory, revealing the patterns and mechanisms governing their electrothermal behavior during SPS sintering. Results indicate that the conductive phase content significantly influences current density and temperature distribution within the sintering system, particularly the internal temperature distribution of specimens. Axial temperature distribution exhibits good consistency, whereas radial temperature differences are relatively substantial. By using this temperature difference to regulate the phase composition in the radial direction, it is expected to moderately control the radial microstructure and mechanical properties of sintered tool materials.

    Comparative experiments between μ-LAM and traditional ultra-precision machining were carried out. The effect of laser power of μ-LAM on surface morphology and surface quality was analyzed, and the optimal machining parameters were obtained. To reveal the mechanism of μ-LAM, variable-temperature nanoindentation technique was employed, and temperature-dependent mechanical properties were investigated. Under the same cutting conditions, the results show that the surface quality is improved significantly with μ-LAM. However, excessive laser power may lead to deterioration of surface quality. The best surface quality with surface roughness of 3.97 nm is realized at a laser power of 2.34 W. The hardness and elastic modulus of ZnSe crystal decrease with increasing temperature, resulting in an increase in plasticity.

    A jet electrolyte plasma micro-machining(Jet-EPM) method was proposed. Using TC4 titanium alloy as the research subject, stationary jet machining experiments were first conducted to investigate the influence mechanism of machining time on the evolution of the machined morphology. Subsequently, moving jet micro-machining experiments were performed to analyze the influence of nozzle traverse speed and scan overlap ratio on the machined morphology. The results indicate that during the initial stage of stationary jet machining, material removal is concentrated in the central contact area of the jet. As machining time increases, the localization of material removal gradually decreases. In micro-groove machining, the machining quality improves with increasing nozzle traverse speed, but excessively high speeds cause excessive material removal at both ends of the path. During scanning machining, if the path overlap ratio is below 75%, wavy undulations perpendicular to the scanning direction appear on the workpiece surface.

    A double-shoulder drill tool connecting thread was selected as the research object. Considering the influence of defective structures on the mechanics properties of threads, an axially symmetric equivalent model of the drill tool connecting thread was established, which may effectively simulate make-up torque and complex contact states. Through this model, the strength and fatigue life analyses of the thread structure were conducted in curved well sections. The calculation results indicate that under the action of given make-up torque, internal and external pressure, axial load, and bending moment, the maximum stress of the thread is generated at the root of the first engaged thread of the internal and external threads. After strength evaluations and fatigue analyses, it is confirmed that the thread structure may meet engineering requirements. When defects are formed in the thread structure, the maximum equivalent stress is always concentrated at the bottom of the defect. The closer the defect is to the root of the first thread of the external thread, the more significant the increase in equivalent stress. The influence of defect position on equivalent stress ranks in descending order as follows: root of the first thread, root of the first thread profile, and middle of the first thread profile. With the increase of defect depth, the overall stress of the thread increases gradually. When the defect depth reaches 2.3 mm, the maximum stress is increased by 50.1%, and the fatigue life is reduced by 94.8%. As the defect width increases, the overall stress of the thread decreases gradually. However, compared with the non-defective thread structure, when the width is 1.6 mm, the maximum stress is still increased by 34%, and the fatigue life is reduced by 75.2%.

    Aiming at the issues that machine vision technology was sensitive to factors such as oil stains, reflections, and curved surfaces on resistance spot welding surfaces, making image processing difficult and segmentation accuracy low, a semantic segmentation method was proposed based on deep learning. By improving the DeepLabv3+ model, intelligent segmentation, recognition, and classification of welding spot image features were achieved. Experimental results show that: using MobileNetV3-Large as the backbone network model lightweight is achieved. Adding an improved CBAM-change attention module is the model's segmentation performance is further enhanced. The improved DeepLabv3+ model achieves a mean intersection over union of 92.15%, an F1 score of 95.86%, an accuracy of 99.81%, and an average processing time of 26.24 ms per welding spot image, enabling precise segmentation of white body welding spot defects.

    A C-PDFR process was proposed for pre-drilled CFRP/titanium alloy stacks using semi-tubular rivets. A titanium rivet was driven into a CFRP pre-hole, then rotated at high speed against a titanium alloy plate to achieve friction welding between the tubular rivet and the plate, while the rivet head locked the CFRP, forming high-performance joints. The effects of outward-inclined, symmetrical, and inward-inclined rivet tips on material flow direction and rivet/Ti-plate interfacial bonding quality were investigated. The microstructure, hardness distribution, and tensile-shear performance of typical joints were analyzed. The results show that a fine-grained stirred zone is formed at the rivet/Ti-plate interface. Under the rotational feed of the rivet, metal flash is generated from the stirred zone and flows toward both the inner and outer sides of the rivet. Outward-inclined/symmetrical rivets cause significant inward flash flow, degrading bonding, whereas inward-inclined rivets suppress inward flow, enhancing bonding quality. Tensile-shear tests demonstrate low-strength interfacial failure for outward-inclined rivets versus high-strength rivet shear fracture for inward-inclined variants, with peak force and energy absorption increasing by 137.0% and 159.1%, respectively.

    Aiming at the slipping problems caused by the articulated structure and multi-wheel configuration of virtual track trains, a three-module distributed anti-slip control model was proposed, including driver control, anti-slip control and torque coordination control modules. The driver control was based on fuzzy control algorithm. With the speed errors and the change rate as the inputs, the pedal opening degree was output to achieve precise tracking of the vehicle's target speed. The anti-slip control adopted the PID algorithm based on slip rate deviation to adjust motor driving torque and effectively suppress wheel slippage. To solve the problems of steering deviation caused by torque differences, the “coaxial low selection” principle was proposed to achieve the coordination of torques of coaxial wheels and ensure driving stability. The simulation results show that the errors of this model are less than 0.5% in speed control. Without the application of anti-slip control, the slip rate of the vehicle wheels and the driving torque show obvious fluctuations, verifying the necessity of anti-slip control measures. Under the conditions of low adhesion coefficient and mating road surface, the system may achieve stable control of slip rate and improvement of acceleration performance. Compared with sliding mode control, the results of experiments show that the PID control performs better in terms of control accuracy and system stability. Under the conditions of open road surfaces, the torque coordination module unifies the torque of coaxial wheels through the “coaxial low selection” strategy, effectively avoiding steering deviations and enhancing the vehicle's handling stability.

    For the high-speed maglev vehicle-bridge coupling problem on curved sections, a maglev train model was established based on the multi-body dynamics theory and UM software. The influence of curved guideway parameters on the system response was analyzed. A matching scheme of train speed and curve radius was proposed. The research results show that the lateral acceleration of the body exceeds the limit as it passes through a curve with a radius of 3000 m and a cross slope angle of 12° at the speed of 400 km/h, so the speed needs to be reduced or the radius needs to be increased; increasing the cross slope angle may suppress the lateral acceleration while increasing the vertical acceleration; all responses meet the limit requirements as it passes through the curve with the radius of 6000 m and the speed of 450 km/h; when the cross slope angle does not exceed 12°, the minimum curve radii of 3000 m and 6000 m correspond to train speeds of 300 km/h and 400 km/h, respectively; when the cross slope angle does not exceed 9°, the minimum curve radius is 9000 m corresponding to the speed of 450 km/h.

    In order to systematically study the influences of processing parameters on forming quality and mechanics properties of PH-SPR steel/aluminum joints, a simulation and parametric study method was proposed considering the riveting processes and mechanics properties. Firstly, a 2D axisymmetric numerical model was established to simulate the riveting processes, and a 3D numerical model was established through 2D-3D integrated conversion method to simulate the mechanics properties of the joints. The accuracy of numerical models was verified by comparing the cross-section, failure mode, peak force, and energy absorption of tests and simulations. Secondly, based on a 2D axisymmetric model, different processing parameters were simulated and 3D joint models were generated to evaluate the corresponding mechanics properties. Finally, based on contribution and main effect analyses, the influences of processing parameters on PH-SPR joints was studied, and regression models were established to predict joint quality. The results indicate that a larger pre-drilled hole diameter leads to a decrease in peak force of the joints, but has a minimal effect on energy absorption. The rivet length is positively correlated with both undercut and mechanics performance. The established regression model may be used for predicting the forming quality and mechanics properties of PH-SPR joints, with an absolute error of less than 8.8%.

    Additive manufacturing is one of the most representative transformative technologies in the field of advanced manufacturing. It has gradually evolved from early rapid prototyping(RP) into a systematic technology system for the fabrication of complex components, and has further expanded toward frontier directions such as 4D printing, bioprinting, and in-space manufacturing. This paper systematically reviewed the origin of additive manufacturing, the formation of typical processes, and its evolutionary trajectory from RP and rapid prototyping and manufacturing(RPM) to “3D printing plus X”. It analyzed the fundamental supporting role of digital manufacturing technologies, including CAD/CAM/CNC, in the emergence and development of additive manufacturing, with particular emphasis on how the expansion of material systems and breakthroughs in key equipment such as lasers have promoted its transition from “prototype fabrication” to “functional part manufacturing”. Overall, the development of additive manufacturing was not a linear extension of a single process, but the result of the coordinated driving forces of materials, processes, equipment, and application demands. Its technological connotation was continuously expanding from geometric structure formation to intelligent functionalization. In light of emerging directions such as 4D printing, bioprinting, in-space manufacturing, and integration with artificial intelligence, it pointed out that additive manufacturing was rapidly evolving from an advanced processing method into an important technological system underpinning future manufacturing.
