    The rapid advancement of topology optimization and additive manufacturing technology provided efficient methods for designing and manufacturing high-performance complex equipment. However, current topology optimization techniques for high-performance structures only considered the design of thermal-mechanics coupling or fluid-thermal coupling, and were mostly limited to simple structures. The design under the combined effects of fluid-thermal-mechanics fields was not considered, which restricted the enhancement of structural performance. This paper tackled the challenge of designing high-performance complex structures under multi-physics fields, encompassing fluid-thermal-mechanics interactions. A topology optimization method was proposed to enhance the ability to withstand temperature of intricate structures. Firstly, the governing equations of flow field, temperature field and structural displacement field were introduced to provide a unified description of the fluid-solid materials within the computational domain. Secondly, the topology optimization model was formulated with fluid-thermal-mechanics coupling. The objective function was set to minimize the average temperature, while flow energy dissipation and structural compliance served as constraint functions. Sensitivity analysis of design variables was carried out by using a combination of the variational method and Lagrangian function. Finally, the established topology optimization model was applied to the structural design of a turbine, resulting in a structure suitable for additive manufacturing with excellent heat dissipation performance and well-balanced flow channel distribution.

     In order to accurately and effectively control the influences of grinding parameters on grinding force and surface integrity, a three-stage grinding force theoretical model was established based on the plastic deformation, indentation theory and shear strain effect between abrasive particles and materials by analytical method. The brown corundum grinding wheels were selected for grinding experiments to explore the effects of grinding parameters on grinding force and the effects of grinding parameters and grinding force on surface integrity. The optimal processing parameters for cylindrical grinding were obtained through orthogonal experiments of cylindrical transverse grinding. The results show that the average prediction errors of normal and tangential grinding forces in the cylindrical grinding force model are 5.56% and 7.08%, respectively. The radial feed speed of the grinding wheel has the greatest impact on grinding force, followed by grinding width, and the influences of workpiece speed and grinding wheel particle size are relatively small. The radial feed speed and grinding width of the grinding wheel have a significant impact on residual stress, and the particle size of the grinding wheel has the greatest impact on surface roughness. As the grinding force increases, the surface roughness value continuously increases, and the residual stress firstly decreases and then increases. The maximum residual stress value along the depth direction firstly increases and then decreases. Within the parameters taken in the experiments, the distribution range of residual stress is basically 20~40 μm. The optimal combination of processing parameters is a radial feed speed of 0.15 mm/min for the grinding wheel, a workpiece speed of 120 r/min, a grinding width of 10 mm, and a grinding wheel particle size of 80.

     In order to improve the compaction quality of vibratory rollers, the energy transfer model of vibratory rollers and the optimisation of operating parameters were studied. Firstly, the system vibration dynamics model of “wheel-compacted material” was established based on the U-K equation, and the energy transfer model of vibratory roller was proposed in combination with energy conservation.Then, the vibration frequency and compaction speed were taken as the optimal working parameters to construct the optimisation model of road compaction quality.Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method were proved through case verification. The results show that: the ratio between the working frequency and the intrinsic frequency of the compacted material is kept within the range of 2~2 to avoid the effect of resonance.The initial stage of low-speed rolling, and after the material properties were stabilised, the rolling speed may be increased to ensure efficient compaction, which results in the vibration frequency in the range of 21.8~27 Hz and the compaction speed in the range of 2.36~2.91 km/s, to achieve the optimal compaction effectiveness.

     The reliability analysis results of complex structures based on the Kriging model were highly dependent on the fitting accuracy of the Kriging model. In the constructing processes of the Kriging model, the selection of different correlation and regression functions affected the accuracy of the model. In order to solve the impacts of model uncertainty on the reliability analysis results, while considering computational efficiency and accuracy, based on the Kriging model and Monte Carlo simulation(MCS) method, a structural reliability calculation method combining adaptive ensemble strategy and active learning function was proposed. Considering the modeling uncertainty of Kriging models, combined with multiple Kriging models, this methed constructed an active learning function that comprehensively considered sample point contribution and sample point distance. The ensemble Kriging model was iteratively updated through the active learning function until the convergence conditions were satisfied. Finally the structural reliability analysis was carried out by the constructed ensemble Kriging model and MCS method. The validity of the proposed method was verified by numerical and engineering examples, and the results show that the proposed method is more robust than other major methods, and the computational efficiency is higher while ensuring the computational accuracy.

    Accurate calculation of the vibration characteristics and fatigue life of the distributed connection structures between reusable spacecraft and engines was crucial for ensuring the safe operations of aerospace transportation systems. Focusing on the distributed connection structures, the feasibility of experimental validation for finite element simulation methods was demonstrated. The vibration characteristics of the distributed connection structures were explored in both of the time and frequency domains, and the fatigue lives of the structures were calculated under different operating conditions. The findings reveal a commendable concordance between the finite element results of the hysteresis curve for the connection structures and experimental observations. Under cyclic loading at different excitation frequencies, the connection bolts manifest stress increments or decrements, indicative of fatigue effects. The distributed connection structures elicit significantly heightened responses at the 1st and 5th natural frequencies. Decreasing the excitation magnitude substantially augments the fatigue lives of the connection structures, and an escalation in bolt pre-tightening forces is found to enhance fatigue lives as well. However, an increase in excitation frequency only marginally diminishes the operational lifespans, while the cyclic lifespans persist within the same order of magnitude. Furthermore, following the introduction to thermal and creep effects, the distributed connection structures may withstand a maximum of only five thermal cycling loads.

    Due to the small center distance, the dynamic performance of small modulus gear transmissions was very sensitive to the center distance errors. In addition, the intermediate gears were often designed to rotate at high speed on the fixed shaft, and there were clearances between the gear center hole and the shaft. Therefore, the calculation model of the gear mesh characteristic parameters and time-varying mesh stiffness under the influences of the center distance errors and the shaft hole fit clearances was established, and the influence laws of the two factors mentioned on the mesh stiffness were investigated. The results show that the center distance errors will change the contact degree and meshing stiffness of the gear pairs. The shaft hole clearance causes the actual center distance to fluctuate periodically around the theoretical center distance, which leads to the coexistence of the strengthening and weakening regions of the meshing stiffness in the whole cycle. The influences of center distance errors and shaft hole fit clearances both superimposed and weakened each other in different angle ranges, resulting in the difference in meshing stiffness of each gear tooth, and the risk of inducing greater vibration and different noise.

Firstly, the dimensions of various components of the oscillating insertion mechanisms were determined based on the kinematic analysis of the single-sided double-needle double-thread stitching processes. Then, a mechanism model was constructed in ADAMS and a trajectory analysis was performed. Finally, stitching experiments were conducted using the prototype.

    Based on the special driving environment in the tunnel and the perception requirements of unmanned driving, appropriate sensors and hardware were chosen to build a test vehicle and a perception system of multi-sensor fusion of millimeter-wave radar and camera. A two-level information fusion algorithm of “target-decision” was proposed based on YOLOv4 target-level information fusion algorithm and improved D-S evidence theory. Finally, a verification test of perception information two-level fusion was carried out in the urban road tunnel environments. The results show that in the tunnel environments, compared with the single camera or the millimeter-wave radar sensing results, the target-level fusion result based on the association of the camera and the millimeter-wave radar sensor to perceive the ROI area may improve the recognition accuracy by 9.51%, making up for the shortcomings of a single sensor in the tunnel environment perception technology. Based on the target-level fusion perception results, using the improved D-S evidence theory algorithm to perform decision-level fusion, compared with the single target-level fusion results, the false detection rate is reduced by 3.61%, which significantly improves detection accuracy. By adopting the multi-sensor sensing information target-decision-making two-level fusion strategy, it may meet the reliable sensing requirements of unmanned vehicles in the special tunnel environments, and provide theoretical and technical support for promoting the applications of unmanned controlled technology.

    PEEK was a high-strength, heat-resistant engineering polymer, but the absence of basic data of PEEK contact fatigue restricted the reliable and long-life applications under heavy-duty conditions. PEEK rolling contact fatigue tests and gear contact fatigue tests under oil injection lubrication were conducted herein, and the S-N curves were obtained. It is found that the PEEK rolling contact fatigue limit is 14% higher than gear contact fatigue limit, and the rolling contact fatigue life of rollers under the contact pressure of 135 MPa is 58% higher than gear fatigue life. And then, the conversion formula of PEEK roller-gear contact fatigue life was further proposed.

    Aiming at the serious wear problems of gear end face friction pairs of aviation external gear pumps, a new compound texture combining Tesla valve groove type and elliptical shape was opened on the gear end faces to improve lubrication performance. Based on hydrodynamic lubrication theory and finite element simulation calculation method, a theoretical analysis model of gear textured end face friction pair lubrication was established. Pressure distribution and velocity distribution of fluid within the end face liquid films were simulated and analyzed under conditions with and without texture, and the effects of operating and structural parameters on the openness and sealing performance of gear end faces were studied. The results show that the hydrodynamic pressure generated by the texture may make the gear end face friction pairs run non-contact, which has a positive effect on reducing friction and increasing efficiency. With the comprehensive consideration of the openness and leakage control performance of gear end face friction pairs, groove depth is as 7~9 μm, height difference is as 5~6 μm, inclination angle is as 0°~10°, and shape factor is as 0.4~0.5 are the optimal structural parameters for the texture structure.

    An axle box bearings coupled with a railway vehicle model was developed based on Hertz contact and elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory. The effects of wheel-rail excitations on the vibration and oil film stiffness characteristics of axle box bearings were investigated. MATLAB/Simulink and UM were used to establish the bearing dynamic model and the railway vehicle model, respectively. The coupling relationship between the two was realized through the interaction force. The typical fault forms of bearings and wheelsets were simulated, and the impacts of these faults on bearing vibration and lubrication characteristics were analyzed in detail. The results show that lubrication may effectively reduce bearing vibrations. The partial bearing faults may increase the oil film stiffness, and bearing faults and wheel flats have a significant impact on lubrication. In addition, wheel-rail excitations reduce the vibration ratio of the bearing outer ring while increasing the vibration of other vehicle components and little effects on the vibrations of the car body.

     High-dimensional uncertainty propagation currently faced the curse of dimensionality, which made it difficult to utilize the limited sampling resources to obtain high-precision uncertainty analysis results. To address this problem, a high-dimensional uncertainty propagation method was proposed based on supervised dimension reduction and adaptive Kriging modeling. The high-dimensional inputs were projected into the low-dimensional space using the improved sufficient dimension reduction method, and the dimensionality of the low-dimensional space was determined by using the Ladle estimator. The projection matrix was embedded into the Kriging kernel function to reduce the number of hyperparameters to be estimated and improve the modeling accuracy and efficiency. Finally, the leave-one-out cross-validation error of the projection matrix was innovatively defined and the corresponding Kriging adaptive sampling strategy was proposed, which might effectively avoid large fluctuations of model accuracy in the adaptive sampling processes. The results of numerical and engineering examples show that, compared with the existing methods, the proposed method may obtain high-precision uncertainty propagation results with fewer sample points, which may provide references for the uncertainty analysis and design of complex structures.

    In the processes of kinematics calibration of industrial robots under physical constraints, the calibration accuracy was affected by the selection of the pose set, which in turn was constrained by the calibration devices. To solve these problems, an optimal pose set planning method was proposed based on sampling interval evaluation combined with pose set optimization. Firstly, the robot kinematics model and the distance constraint calibration model were established, and the robot system parameter error constraint equation and error Jacobian matrix were calculated. Secondly, the workspace of robot was divided into spatial grids and evaluate each grid interval using Latin hypercube sampling combined with observable indicators to obtain the optimal sampling interval. Finally, based on offline data, the calibration accuracy prediction model was established based on offline data and search for the optimal pose set within the optimal sampling interval. By planning and verifying the optimal pose set for the ZhongRui RT-608 robot, the results show that the average fitting sphere radius after calibration is 0.3947 mm based on the optimal pose set, which is 57.98% lower than that of the random pose set.

    In response to the unmanned inspection requirements of mining wire ropes, a rope-twisting climbing inspection robot was designed and developed. Compared to traditional axial climbing robots, which required approximately 91.5% of the driving force. When carrying a load of 3 kg, the robot may overcome obstacles with a height 0.6 mm higher than that of axial climbing robots. With an obstacle height of 3 mm, the maximum load capacity exceeds that of axial climbing robots by 0.4 kg. Climbing experiments were conducted under simulated deep mine conditions with wire rope vibrations. The results show that the climbing robots exhibite stable climbing performance when the wire ropes are stationary, achieving a maximum climbing speed of 8.25 m/min and capable of continuous climbing for 500 m. Under low-frequency large-amplitude vibration conditions, the climbing speed of the robot is higher than that when stationary, while under high-frequency small-amplitude vibration conditions, slight fluctuations in climbing speed are observed due to wire rope vibrations.
