    Differential steering based on tire cornering suited low-speed, large steering radius scenarios of distributed drive electric vehicles(DDEV) without steering mechanisms. In order to study the mechanism of differential steering based on tire cornering, a 7-degree-of-freedom DDEV dynamic model with no steering mechanism and PAC2002 tire model were established. Then, the formation mechanism of differential steering was analyzed and a systematic analysis method from the input of differential longitudinal force to the output of vehicle steering radius of differential steering was proposed by considering the tire force longitudinal-lateral-coupling characteristics. Leveraging the proposed systematic analysis method, the stability of differential steering and the influences of differential longitudinal force, vehicle parameters and tire characteristics on steering radius were studied. Finally, a Carsim/Simulink joint simulation platform was established to simulate differential steering under different influencing factors. The results show that within the range of tire cornering, the larger the differential longitudinal force, the larger the ratio of track width to wheelbase, and the smaller the tire lateral stiffness, the smaller the steering radius.

The formation mechanism of C-warping was analyzed from three aspects: rolling, processing lubrication systems and the influences of anti-wrinkle rollers and anti-trembling rollers on the forces of strip steels. The stress distribution of the horizontal direction of the outlet strips in the thickness was obtained, based on the stress analysis of the strips under the assumption of half-plane infinite body, the maximum and minimum transverse elongation in the thickness direction of the strips were obtained, and the height of the C warp of the strips was obtained through the geometric relationship. A set of optimal height settings of anti-wrinkle rollers and anti-trembling rollers were sought to minimize the objective function of the comprehensive control, and the elongation in the direction of strip thickness was controlled, so as to reduce C-warp. The model and treatment strategies were applied to a leveling unit in China, and the prediction errors of C warping height are controlled within 10%, and the maximum warpage ranges of the unit are reduced from 1.4~6.5 mm to 0.9~4.5 mm. The results show that the C warpage prediction and treatment strategy meet the production demands, and the warpage values are significantly reduced, which reduces the repair rate caused by warpages.

To address these problems, a feature selection method for multicollinear parameters in the manufacturing processes was proposed based on LLE. Firstly, the multicollinearity of the manufacturing process parameters was diagnosed, and then the multicollinearity was eliminated by using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) regression. Secondly, the LLE algorithm was used to perform feature selection on the parameters after LASSO regression to obtain independent feature spaces, and they were input into the whale optimization algorithm-support vector machine(WOA-SVM) model to verify the parameter feature selection effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through case analysis. The results show that compared with the original data, the proposed method may obtain more accurate prediction results under a lower-dimensional feature space, the correlation coefficient value is up to 0.9702, and the accuracy of feature selection increases by 24.989%.

    A digital twin-based dynamic multi-objective optimization method for machining processes was proposed herein. By integrating historical machining data with real-time operational data, a digital twin system was established, comprising geometric, physical, behavioral, and rule-based sub-models. This system combined an Optuna-GBR model and an IMORIME to dynamically adjust machining parameters. The cutting force fluctuations were monitored in real time by the digital twin system. When the fluctuations exceeded the adaptive threshold, a dynamic optimization process was triggered, during which a new Pareto solution set was regenerated and the optimal machining parameter combination was determined using the entropy-weighted technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution(TOPSIS) method. Experimental validation under actual machining conditions demonstrates that the dynamic optimization method of the digital twin system achieves a 19.99% reduction in spindle energy consumption, a 29.02% reduction in specific cutting energy, and an 11.22% reduction in machining noise. These results indicate a significant improvement in machining efficiency and a remarkable reduction in spindle energy consumption and machining noises.

    To improve the monitoring accuracy of tool wear during machining, a BiLSTM model based on IWOA and IECA mechanism was proposed. Tool wear data segments from the PHM2010 dataset were intercepted, and multi-domain features were extracted. Tool wear strongly correlated features were then obtained by screening with the Pearson correlation coefficient. The input features were used to train the model. The BiLSTM module in the model effectively captured temporal features within the data. The IECA attention mechanism module enhances the feature representational capability. The IWOA module optimized the model's hyperparameters, further improving the model accuracy. The model performance was finally tested based on three-fold cross-validation and compared with several other models. The results demonstrate that the IWOA-IECA-BiLSTM tool wear monitoring model achieves the best performance on most test sets. On test sets C1C4 and C6, the root mean square error (RMSE) values are as low as 6.5, 12.46, and 9.28, respectively.

    Conventional prediction methods faced challenges such as multi-source heterogeneity and strong parameter uncertainty, so equipment, process, and resource-related factors were integrated to identify and define manufacturing scenarios, enabling the unified representation and description of carbon emission influences. The ensemble mechanism of random forest decision trees was combined with Bayesian adaptive hyperparameter optimization to establish a three-stage prediction framework “feature selection, model training, parameter tuning” for the high-efficiency prediction of carbon emissions. A Monte Carlo-Bayesian optimized random forest approach for uncertainty analysis was developed, where sensitive carbon emission parameters were identified and their impacts were quantified to enhance reliability through targeted parameter optimization. A case study on wind turbine blade machining demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show excellent agreement between predicted and actual carbon emissions. After uncertainty analysis, the coefficient of variation is reduced by 0.0347, significantly improving the reliability of the prediction results and supporting more robust decision-making.

    To address the problems that the reliability data samples of remanufactured products were scarce, leading to difficulties in accurately predicting their reliability status during service, a dynamic reliability prediction method for remanufactured products was proposed, integrating substance-field degradation data from similar products with model transfer fine-tuning. Firstly, the “physical form” and “field properties” degradation indicators affecting product reliability were analyzed using the substance-field model. Then, a comprehensive degradation index reflecting the multi-dimensional substance-field degradation characteristics of products was constructed using a linear regression model, and a three-stage similarity calculation method was designed to screen and transfer historical degradation data from similar products for sample expansion. Secondly, to address the spatial coupling and temporal dependency characteristics of the historical substance-field degradation data of similar products, a reliability prediction model was established based on a convolutional long short-term memory neural network. Furthermore, the parameters of the prediction model were dynamically adjusted through deep transfer learning techniques to improve the prediction accuracy for the reliability of remanufactured products under personalized service scenarios. Finally, the proposed prediction method was validated using a remanufactured spindle system as a case study, and the coefficient of determination (R²) of the prediction results reache 0.92, which indicates the effectiveness of the method.

    To achieve online and efficient prediction of industrial robot energy consumptions, a method was proposed based on Bayesian-optimized TCN. Specifically, TCN was utilized to establish a nonlinear mapping relationship between kinematic parameters and robot energy consumption, which effectively captured the temporal characteristics of energy consumption prediction data. Meanwhile, the Bayesian method was adopted to optimize the hyperparameters in the model, thereby improving the accuracy of the energy consumption prediction model. Ablation experiments and comparative experiments on the IRB 1600-10/145 industrial robots show that, under no-load and 1.5 kg load conditions, the average relative errors of the total energy consumptions of the robot predicted by the proposed method are as 1.04% and 1.78% respectively. These results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other commonly used energy consumption prediction models at present.

    Conventional wire drying typically relied on high-speed air-jet blowing, which had issues such as extremely thin liquid films on the wire surfaces and a small area affected by the airflow. Applying ultrasonic energy directly to the wire structures so that the solid-liquid interface underwent high-frequency vibration and an ultrasonic atomization effect was produced. An energy-consumption model coupling ultrasonic atomization and high-speed air jets was developed, and comparative experiments were carried out focusing on key parameters such as ultrasonic power and droplet volume. Results show that ultrasound induces rapid droplet spreading and atomization via capillary waves and acoustic cavitation, and the liquid-film removal efficiency is markedly superior to that of air jets. At a droplet volume of 10 μL and an exposure time of 18 ms, 360 W ultrasound achieves a removal rate of 84.37%, whereas a 450 W high-speed air jet removed only 8.58% of the film. In terms of energy consumption, under conditions producing equivalent removal, ultrasound reduces system energy use by at least approximately 46.7% compared with air jets. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of ultrasonic-assisted rapid, energy-efficient dewatering and drying of wire surfaces.

    The vehicle bodies were subjected to dynamic loads arising from complex road conditions during actual operations, current research on SPR primarily focused on static load response analysis, with insufficient attention given to dynamic load response analysis. A dynamic modelling and analysis method for SPR joints was proposed based on a mass-spring system herein. ABAQUS finite element analysis was employed to identify the tensile and shear stiffness parameters of the SPR joints. The connection between the SPR joints and the sheet metal was abstracted as an interaction between mass-spring systems, establishing a three-degree-of-freedom nonlinear dynamic response model for SPR. Finite element simulation was used to validate the SPR dynamic response equivalent model. Research indicates that the SPR three-degree-of-freedom nonlinear dynamic response model enables efficient and accurate prediction of SPR joints dynamic responses.
