    A novel 3-PPRRR parallel mechanism with three translational degrees of freedom was presented.The limb chain of the 3-PPRRR parallel mechanism
    consisted of two prismatic pairs and three revolute pairs.The first prismatic pair was perpendicular to
    the second prismatic pair.The axis of the first revolute pair was parallel to the third revolute pairs.The axis of the second revolute pair was perpendicular to the first revolute axis.The three limb chains were arranged orthogonally.The constraint analysis of the 3-PPRRR
    parallel mechanism was performed by using screw theory.It is shown that the three
    PPRRR limb exerts three independent constraint couples on the moving platform,which
    restricts three rotational degrees of freedom of the moving platform.The validity of the first prismatic pair being actuated is verified.Further,it is proved that the second revolute pair in each limb
    is inactive based on the mobility features of the 3-PPRRR parallel mechanism,which simplifies the kinematic analysis of the 3-PPRRR parallel mechanism.The forward and inverse position,velocity and acceleration analysis,and workspace are discussed.The three translational degrees of freedom of the 3-PPRRR parallel mechanism are completely decoupled and the mechanism is fully-isotropic.

    To meet the design requirements of 7500 ton floating crane,a project of mixed gear reducer composed by planetary differential reducer and disk brake was proposed based on lever analogy method.There are two freedoms in the gearshift, and the transmission speed between high speed and low one can be attained through limiting one freedom of them. The closed loop hydraulic control system was adopted to attain the shift operation smoothly. Under two different cases, different speed ratios can be transmitted through the same output shaft, high and low speed ratio from 2 to 16,which well meets the application requirements of both the stable hoisting for heavy loads and fast drop for unload.The gearshift has been put into application successfully.

    To support better rapid response product design, a reconfigurable design method for product module based on function-principle-behavior-structure (FPBS) was presented. For design requirements of expectant module, the iterative mapping method based on FPBS was adopted to establish the FPBS-based decomposition model of existent module. Afterwards, based on FPBS model of existing module, approaches including function reconfiguration, principle configuration, behavior combination, and structure polymerization were carried through, so as to construct dynamic model of expectant module. Furthermore, by structure integration and design, module reconfigurable design was realized eventually. Finally, this method was applied to reconfigurable design of stacking crane’s push-puller structure, which doubling push-puller structure was transmuted into quadrupling push-puller structure, and the feasibility and validity of the method were proved.

    Variable pump-variable motor(VPVM) adaptive control algorithm was presented to overcome the problems such as huge overflow losses,slow speed
    regulation, and poor full capacity utilization existing in the state-of-the-art for speed regulation in VPVM hydraulic system,where the motor speed was commonly regulated in phase either with variable pump controlling constant motor or constant pump controlling variable motor.The variable pump closed loop control was used to realize motor expected speed initiatively,while the variable motor was controlled by following control corresponding to the pump displacement change rate,resulting in concurrent displacements control of both pump and motor.The variable pump was controlled by single neuron adaptive PID algorithm, while the variable motor was controlled by predictive adaptive control.The principles and diagrams of the algorithm were specified for VPVM system, and comparable simulations and experiments were carried out to verify the approach.The results of both tests show that the approach has the capacity for speeding up system response and reducing overflow losses for VPVM system.

    A new coordinate measurement method with profile matching technique was put forward for steep conformal optics. First, the profile of a conformal optics was divided into several sections with some overlap points. And then the local profile measurements were performed after relative rotation and translation between the measurement instrument and the work-piece. With the local profiles, the global profile can be constructed using profile matching technique. The mathematical model based on the least square method was built, and an experimental set-up was developed. Finally, an ellipse with D=120mm,L/D(length/diameter)=1.2 was tested. Experiments indicate that the method can construct the global profile accurately, and is practical and simple.

    This paper presented new experimental wok that was to sense radiation modes of simply supported beam by a PVDF(poly vinylidence fluioride) array. An array of rectangular PVDF patches attached on the surface of the beam was used as sensor. The output signals of the PVDF patches were multiplied by appropriate weights so that the weighted combinations of the outputs directly led to the corresponding radiation mode amplitudes of the beam. It is shown that the weight of every PVDF patch sensor is independent of the external
    excitation. Experimental results also show the feasibility of this new type radiation mode sensor.

    Based on traditional active design theory of spiral bevel gear in which parabolic function of transmission errors was predesigned, the influence of the position of mean contact point to mounting error sensitivity was considered and an improved active design method was proposed. Lower mounting error sensitivity was achieved by choosing the position of mean contact point properly. Pinion machine-tool setting parameters which satisfied predesigned parabolic function of transmission errors and better tolerance limit could be calculated according to local synthesis. Example indicates that the value of mounting error sensitivity factors declines at an average of 26.68 percent by choosing proper position of mean contact point.

    Experimental study and numerical simulation were used to investigate the flow characteristics of a self-excited precessing jet,which was generated based on the principle of Coanda effect.A hotwire anemometer was used to measure the jet velocity at the exit of the precessing jet nozzle and the power spectrum density was obtained afterwards in order to analyze the precessing feature of the jet. It is shown that an obvious precession motion is generated in a nozzle even with a large expansion ratio E=10 and a small length-to-diameter ratio L/D=2. The precessing frequency is mainly dependent on the nozzle diameter and the intake flow rate,increasing with the enhancement of the flow rate and with the reduction of nozzle diameter.The flow fields inside precessing jet nozzles were simulated numerically using large-eddy simulation(LES) approach.The velocity and pressure distributions of the precessing flows were obtained and compared at different expansion ratios, length-to-diameter ratios and Reynolds numbers. The simulations show that the flows in axisymmetric sudden expansions are inherently unstable. The self-sustained precessing phenomenon is more obviously at the expansion ratio
    E=5 compared with another case (E=10) herein.

    CNTs-Ag-MoS2-Cgraphite composites were produced by means of powder metallurgy.The effect of sliding velocity changes on electrical friction and wear performance was studied.The experimental results show that, with the increase of sliding velocity, both of the contact resistance and the contact voltage increase because of the increase of the gap caused by the adhesive gas flow between the brush and the slipping ring. The friction coefficient decreases linearly with the increase of sliding velocity. In the same process, the electrical wear rate which decreases firstly before
    increasing, is larger than that of the pure mechanical wear rate due to the excess
    temperature on the micro frictional surfaces caused by current.The wear rate of the positive brush is larger than that of the negative brush due to the material
    transformation and the chemical actions under the electrical current.

    and decreases on bottom surface,when the restraining force come to a certain larger value, an inverse phenomena occurs; when restraining force is far from the welding center line, the transverse welding residual stress at the welding center line on top surface decreases and increases on bottom surface after the restraints are released.
