    According to shape features of the automobile clutch hub under research, an entire process flow was designed, including blanking, deep-drawing, bulging, stamp-cold forging hybrid process, piercing and trimming. The bulging process was designed to form circumferential slots distributing around the clutch hub evenly and the stamp-cold forging hybrid process was designed to gain variable thickness. A particular emphasis was put on introducing bulging process and the hybrid process. FEM simulation software, DEFORM-3D, was employed for the simulation of the entire process. The simulation results demonstrate that the bulging process can form circumferential slots fully and precisely, and the stamping-cold forging hybrid process is successful in forming parts with variable thickness.

    The kinematics and dynamics of free-floating space robot system with dual-arms were analyzed, and it is shown that the Jacobian matrix and the dynamics equations of the system are nonlinearly dependent on inertial parameters. In order to overcome this problem, the system was modeled as under-actuated robot system, and the idea of augmentation approach was adopted. It is demonstrated that the dynamics equations of the system can be linearly dependent on a group of inertial parameters. Based on these results, a robust variable structure control scheme for spacecraft-referenced end-point motion of free-floating space robot system with dual-arms with uncertain inertial parameters was proposed, and a planar space robot system with dual arms was simulated to verify the proposed control scheme. The advantage of the scheme is that it requires neither measuring the position, velocity and acceleration of the floating base with respect to the orbit nor controlling the position and attitude angle of the floating base. In addition to this advantage, it is computationally simpler by choosing to make the controller robust to the uncertain inertial parameters rather than explicitly estimating them online.

    A three-joint robot was directly driven by ultrasonic motors with advantage of high torque at low speed. On the one hand, ultrasonic motors were driven by the frictional force between rotor and stator, on the other hand, it was almost impossible to identify all the dynamic parameters appearing in the equations of motion of the robot, so there were frictional disturbances and dynamic disturbances due to the parametric uncertainties in the robot control. To solve the problem, a robust nonlinear H∞ control system with the induced L2-gain attenuation was designed. Experimental results show the robot has achieved good positional resolution as well as smooth operation. Finally, a robust experiment shows the controller has a strong performance of anti-disturbances. 

The acoustic compression waves can be used to detect void debond at adhesive interfaces. However, it remained a largely unanswered challenge to obtain information on adhesive bond strength from ultrasonic test results. It is possible that using nonlinear acoustic techniques to measure properties of adhesive interface in MMCS. The basic parameter that has to be evaluated is the so-called nonlinear coefficient β. The differences of nonlinear coefficient indicate local variations in adhesive quality. With further work it is hoped to demonstrate that the nonlinear coefficients will be used to evaluate the quality of MMCS bond interface.

    Magnetic field of an 8-pole radial magnetic bearing was modeled through finite element method (FEM) and the magnetic flux lines were presented. The air gap magnetic flux density and magnetic forces with different rotor eccentricity were calculated and compared under NSNS alternating arrangement and NNSS paired arrangement. The magnetic bearing’s magnetic field model and calculation were verified with measurements. Results show that air gap magnetic flux density and magnetic force of NSNS arrangement are greater than the ones of NNSS arrangement with same input currents. So the NSNS arrangement always gives smaller magnetic bearings. However, it is with stronger magnetic field coupling between adjacent pole pairs of NSNS arrangement than that of NNSS arrangement, NSNS arrangement will result in more complicated coil current control. It is significative to use the conclusion of this paper in magnetic bearing design.

The results show that the flow stress is influenced by both strain rate and deformation temperature, and the flow stress decreases with the increase of temperature. The parameters for a Johnson-Cook constitutive equation were determined from the test results. The comparison between data of experimental and fitted constitutive equation indicates that the constitutive equation is suitable for expressing the dynamic behavior of H13 steel, which provides important material characteristic parameter for mechanics numerical analysis further in the project application. 

    The microstructure, fracture mode and crack propagation of WC matrix composite was analyzed by SEM and TEM. Experimental results show that the fracture mode is mainly of transgranular due to the addition of nano size zirconia and alumina particles. TEM pictures reveal that some small zirconia particles are uniformly located within WC matrix grains and some large zirconia particles are distributed between WC and Al2O3 grains. In WC matrix composite, the addition of zirconia influences the shape of WC grains. The interfaces of WC-ZrO2, WC-Al2O3 and Al2O3-ZrO2 in the composite were also studied by TEM, and fewer pores were detected. The cutting performance of the new tools was studied by machining titanium alloys (Ti6Al4V) and the wear and fracture mechanism was analyzed and the results show that adhesion and fatigue wear are the main failure mode.

    The tribological properties of molybdenum dislicide (MoSi2) against Al2O3 in the range of 700~1100℃ were investigated by using an XP-5 type high temperature friction and wear tester. Microphotographs and phase status of the worn surface of MoSi2 were observed by SEM with EDS and X-ray. Results show that friction coefficient of MoSi2/Al2O3 sliding friction couple increases with the increase of temperature when it is less than 900℃ and MoSi2 has low wear rate. The main wear mechanism of MoSi2 are adhesion and oxidation. However over 900℃, friction coefficient keeps in the range of 0.6~0.8 although it decreases a little with increasing temperature, and wear rate of MoSi2 is clearly raised. This is that because of the ductile - brittle transition characteristic of MoSi2, abrasion, plastic deformation and fracture are also found on the worn surface of MoSi2. Adhesion is the main wear mechanism of Al2O3
