Aiming at solving the robotic grinding problem of aircraft engine blades with complex surface, this paper proposed an adaptive force control method using fuzzy PID algorithm, which can ensure that blade surface is completely polished to eliminate residual texture and harmful stress concentration. First, an intelligent digital compliant grinder with active and passive compliance was developed. Second, a fuzzy PID adaptive algorithm was proposed, which can stabilize the contact force between the grinder and the blade. Third, a protection scheme was proposed to prevent excessive grinding. In the polishing process, the robot arm was fitted with the blade. According to the surface profile of the blade, the robot arm moved in a specific trajectory, keeping the blade in contact with the grinder. During grinding, some parameters, such as the abrasive belt velocity, the abrasive belt type and contact force, could affect the quality of the grinding process. Therefore, appropriate parameters were selected. The experimental results showed that the actual force fluctuates within 0.5N. In addition, the original surface roughness was 1.672um, which was reduced to 0.054um by adaptive force control method, comparing to 0.589 urn with the non-force control. Not only is the contact force more precisely controlled, but the grinding accuracy is greatly improved.

Topology optimization (TO) has been widely used in the field of additive manufacturing (AM), but the structure designed by the density-based optimization method has obvious material gradient and complex internal structures, which are difficult to be directly manufactured with specific process. This paper proposes a multi-scale design method for designing cellular structure with topology optimization. Firstly, micro units with variable density are designed to support smooth interconnections. Then, we provide a assembling method to generate models with density distributions similar to topology optimization method, while guarantee the manufacturability of the structures. The experimental results show that the generated model does not need support in fabrication, and retains the optimized mechanical properties, which can be used as a TO based fill pattern for 3D printing.

Cars with internal combustion engines using hydrocarbon fuels occupy the main market share. The cost of these products is increasing, and this negatively affects the prosperity of the population and the cost of freight transportation. The growth in energy consumption and the rapid growth of cars deplete non-renewable natural oil and gas resources, leading to intense combustion of atmospheric oxygen.

One of the promising types of environmentally friendly engine is a cryogenic fuel engine. Such engines have higher energy performance and lower cost in comparison with electric vehicles, and their operating costs are comparable with traditional cars, taking into account the ecological aspect.

The study presents the development of methods for calculating the rotor-blade engine and its design. Since refrigeration plants consume 3% of the internal combustion engine power, it is advisable to replace them with autonomous units using a cryogenic working fluid, thereby reducing emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere.

As a key structure in the process of lifting heavy objects by cantilever cranes, the boom is of great significance. When the cantilever crane carries heavy objects, the load on the boom is a typical moving load. The traditional structural optimization method cannot fully consider the influence of the moving load on the structure. Based on the variable density structure topology optimization method, the equivalent moving load method is proposed to transform the motion of heavy objects on the boom into multiple equivalent working conditions. And according to the structural characteristics and motion form of the boom, the weight coefficient of every equivalent working conditions is assigned. The number of equivalent moving loads is determined in the form of multiple growth, and finally the lightweight cantilever crane boom structure is obtained, which is 32.08% lighter than the original structure, thus verifying the structural topology based on the equivalent moving load method proposed in this paper.

AUV is a powerful tool for exploration and development of marine resources. Underwater terrain matching navigation is an emerging passive autonomous navigation method, which improves the long-term and high-precision navigation capability of AUV. The underwater terrain matching algorithm based on particle filter (PF) use a large number of particle sampling to approximate the system state, which can avoid the Taylor expansion truncation error caused by the terrain linearization method, and has good matching precision and terrain adaptability. However, due to the strong nonlinearity and the uneven distribution of the underwater terrain features, it is difficult to achieve the full-range terrain matching optimize with a single configuration parameter of PF underwater terrain matching algorithm. For this reason, this paper has comprehensively studied the PF terrain matching algorithm (referred to as PF matching algorithm). The principle, accuracy and implementation steps of PF algorithm are analyzed. With the UKF algorithm as a reference, the advantages and disadvantages of PF-based algorithm are studied through computer simulation of terrain matching navigation. The matching precision and terrain adaptability of PF-based algorithm has been tested. From the simulation results, it is concluded that the particle diversity decline is one of the main factors affecting the matching performance, which provides a basis for algorithm performance improvement and engineering adaptability improvement.

The finite element method(FEM)was used to establish the multi-physics coupling analysis model of the motorized spindle, adding the theoretical calculation of thermal contact resistance in the joint surface of the motorized spindle. The temperature rise and deformation variation of the motorized spindle were simulated under the condition of thermal contact resistance. The simulation results demonstrate the influence of thermal contact resistance on the temperature and thermal deformation of the motorized spindle. The results show that when the thermal resistance of the high-speed motorized spindle is considered, the temperature rises and the deformation increases, and the accuracy of the model is more accurate, which is closer to the actual processing.

Taking the unpowered model of a seaplane as the object, the blocking effect of aviation high-speed tank was studied by experimental and numerical methods in this paper. Firstly, the experiment of air field and drag were carried out in the bottom and front of the trailer. The experimental results of air field showed that the blocking effect of the air field was obvious in the bottom of trailer, while ignored in the front of trailer. The results of drag experiment under two conditions showed significant difference at mid-high speed, which proved the influence of blocking effect was obviouse. RANS method and overset grid were adopted in numerical simulation, and the accuracy of numerical method adopted in this paper was verified by comparing computed results of the model in the bottom of trailer with the experimental results. The computed results of hydrodynamic performance of the seaplane in finite and infinite domain showed that the influnence of the blocking effect of water could be nearly ignored, but the influnence of the blocking effect of air field was dominated. Finally, the hydrodynamic performance of the seaplane under the trailers with different sizes of chassis were carried out. The computed results showed that within the certain range, the degree of blocking effect of air field increased with the increase of geometrical variables of trailer chassis, further, which reached the maximum and kept constant when the variables exceeded a certain value.

Sliding bearings are widely used in submerged rolls of strip galvanizing line immersed in zinc bath. Submerged roller bearing pair materials include sleeves and bushings. These two parts are in high temperature, load and corrosive working environment. They are prone to wear and failure. The service life of bearing pair materials determines the operation time of the whole galvanizing line. In order to ensure long-term operation of galvanizing line, the most ideal method at present is to select suitable sleeve and bushing material matching pairs. To screen sleeve and bushing materials with good matching performance, a friction and wear tester simulating sleeve and bushing materials in high temperature molten zinc environment was designed and developed. The test machine is divided into three parts: driving system, loading system and heating system. The driving system drives the sample rotation of the sleeve; the loading system drives the bushing pattern to load the sample of the sleeve; the well heating furnace heats the zinc ingot to 480 °C to simulate the zinc pool environment; the vertical loading of bearing pattern and sleeve pattern, the alignment and insulation of the driving system and the loading system are comprehensively considered and solved. The stability of the test machine under test conditions is analyzed to ensure that the signal collected by the sensor has a high reference value.

As a new type of intelligent material seal technology, ferrofluid seal has been widely used in high speed, heavy load and large eccentricity occasions in recent years because of its long life, low leakage and high pressure resistance. Because of the limitation of the axial height of the axis, most of the existing studies are focused on the radial parameters, but the specific research on the axial parameters has not yet been carried out. In this study, the theoretical pressure capabilities of height of the distribution of axial teeth and axial slot width was calculated according to the theory of stepped ferrofluid seals by finite element method. And by changing the radial gap, the stepped ferrofluid seal is compared with the ordinary seal, and the calculation results are analysed and discussed. The results show that the distribution mode of the axial teeth has a great influence on the theoretical sealing pressure resistance. And the theoretical sealing pressure resistance reaches the maximum when the distribution mode is evenly distributed. The influence of the width of the axial slot on the theoretical sealing pressure resistance can be neglected, so the technological property and the design should be considered as far as possible. By comparing the stepped seal with the ordinary seal, the practicability of the stepped seal is further verified.

Home appliance test is an essential part of the R&D process. However, since home appliance test must be carried out under certain circumstances, it makes the development cycle longer. If it is possible to predicting the home appliance test data, it will improve the efficiency of home appliance development. Sequence to sequence model has been proved that it has a strong ability to map the input sequence and output sequence and it has been widely used in machine translation tasks. In order to solve the home appliance test data prediction problem, we firstly tried to apply sequence to sequence model to predict numerically continuous time series data. Our experiments proved that our model can predict the data of relatively long-time steps when inputting data of relatively short time steps. In our experiment, the mean absolute percentage error of the prediction of our model is about 0.1%. Our approach has a strong generalization ability and performs well in different experimental scenarios. Finally, we believe that the sequence to sequence method performs satisfactorily on prediction problems for continuous time series data. With this model, we can obtain more accurate results than traditional methods and it is meaningful for the R&D of home appliances.

In the field of abstractive automatic summarization, the Seq2Seq model constructed by the RNN network is widely used and has achieved perfect results. However, due to the Seq2Seq model and the internal structure of the RNN network, only short-term and local information can be referenced in the process of generating summary, resulting the generated summary contains less information, and may even happen that the generated summary does not match the corresponding document. There have been many previous attempts to improve the model by using the attention mechanism, but only to use long-term information within a certain range. In our paper, we present a abstractive summarization model that enhances the global feature, which called Hybrid Non-Local Network model for single document summarization task, consisting of a non-local block and a traditional Seq2Seq module. Our model uses the non-local network block to transform the Seq2Seq model to better capture global feature. For example, the relationship between words and words, sentences and sentences in a large span of the original document, making the generated summary of higher quality, more informative, more accurate and rich representation of the original document. The experiments in our paper are performed on the CNN/DailyMail corpus. The proposed model was improved by 1.37, 0.47, and 1.16 onR-1 score, R-2 score, andR-L score, separately, compared to the baseline model.

Named entity recognition is an important basic task in natural language processing. This paper proposes a named entity recognition method for end-to-end and efficient deep-loop neural networks. Using BERT to train sub-vectors as raw input enables the model to obtain more comprehensive text information, and at the same time, the BiLSTM network is focused on the attention mechanism, so that the network pays more attention to the key information in the text and ignores the redundant information to improve the recognition efficiency of the model. Finally, the relationship between any two tags is captured by the CRF layer, and the entire sentence is decoded and predicted. Experiments show that the method performs well on MSRA corpus.

The vessel maintenance support system, which consist of aboard and onboard two parts, is different from the other equipments, with the characteristics of tasks varied, complex structures and onerous business. It is a virtual system rather than a material system. So the traditional modelling method which is used to describe the material objects has some defects of long communication period, weak reusability and poor expansion in describing support system in design process, which apparently cannot meet the current demands. It is imperative to introducing standardized design and modelling approach to establish the vessel support system. The study firstly analyses the function, organization, resource and operation of vessel support system. The support system modelling method is introduced based on the analysis of different view products in DODAF framework. The support system model, which is consists of organization model, activity model and information exchange matrix is given based on active based model. It can provide guidance in support system design, support concept generation under new situation, even in integrated joint operation system design in the future.
