It has the advantages of simple mechanical structure, low manufacturing cost, and simple control algorithm. The number of its DOF is less than six, the limbs not only transmitting driving force but also constraint force at the same time. So both the required driving and constraint force analysis are necessary in the dynamic control and optimization design of the mechanism. Inverse dynamics equations of the mechanism were modeled by using the Newton-Euler formulation, through solving the equations, the required driving and constraint forces can be obtained when the motion of moving platform and working load were given. A computational example was also provided.

Two similar parallel plates were mounted in front of the outlet of the combine harvester. The front plate was used to detect the impact of grain out of elevator the harvester as well the vibration. The rear plate was used to detect the vibration only. A differential circuit was used to eliminate the vibration signal of the harvester. The experimental waves showed that the vibration signals of the two plates were similar while the harvester runs with no grain input. The influence of the vibration could be eliminated by the differential circuit. The zero drift of this sensor is less than 0.01 g/s.

A FieldSpec 3 spectroradiometer was used for collecting 30 sample spectra data of the three kinds of jujube separately. Then principal component analysis was used to process the spectral data after pretreatment. Six principal components (PCs) were selected based on accumulative reliabilities, and these selected PCs would be taken as the inputs of the three-layer back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN). A total of 90 jujube samples were divided into calibration set and validation set randomly, the calibration set had 75 samples with 25 samples of each variety and the validation set had 15 samples with 5 samples of each variety. The BP-ANN was trained using samples in calibration set. The optimal three-layer BP-ANN model with 6 nodes in input layer, 10 nodes in hidden layer, and 2 nodes in output layer would be obtained. Then this model was used to predict the sample in the validation set. The result show that a 100% recognition ration was achieved with the threshold predictive error ±0.17, the bias between predictive value and standard value was lower than 10%.

The standard deviation of the relation dimension was used to depict the uncertainty of the friction torque and the mean of the relation dimension was used to describe the evolutive history of the nonlinear characteristics of the friction torque. The investigation indicates that the rolling element bearing belongs to the certain nonlinear dynamics system, but its friction torque presents the obvious uncertainty. As the rotational speed is raised both the standard deviation and the mean of the relation dimension of the rolling element bearing friction torque take on the nonlinearly increasing trend.

The product was divided step by step using the framework of zigzagging map between the functional domain and physical domain of axiomatic design. In the case that the design matrix are diagonal matrices, the substructures of the division meet the functional and structural independence and can be considered as a separate module, then the division of module can be ended. When the design matrix are triangle matrices or fall rank matrices, the correlation of function and structure between the substructures were analyzed and then fuzzy dendrogram was used to cluster the substructures into modules. An example was used to illustrate the validity and rationality of the proposed approach.

Optimal design was implemented by turning the fringe part and boring the center part of the armature base on steady state finite element analysis. Comparing with the original actuator, the optimized actuator has an almost 71% reducing in the armature weight whilst without significant steady state solenoid force loss in the actuator and without significant increase in structure dimensions that it gets a considerable improvement in armature acceleration, so the response times decrease by typically 8% under different work conditions. Finally, prototype electro-pneumatic ejector valves were fabricated according to the optimized actuator model, and a test facility was also built up to obtain the valve's dynamics. The agreement between the simulation results and the experimental data proves the effectiveness of the simulation model.

It was pointed out that the conventional pump affinity laws were not suitable any more when the net head was greater than zero while VSD were used, and a new affinity law was proposed. By means of linearized pump performances at rated rotational speed, simplified methodologies predicting pumping system performances with VSD were put forward. After introducing the conception of specific energy, the energy consumptions of variable operation and other regulation methods were analyzed to pump a specific quantity of water within stipulated period. Based on the consideration of VSD efficiency, electric motor efficiency and the relationship of specific energy with the change of pump efficiency at different rotational speed, a method was brought forward to determine the reasonable and economic scope of variable speed under different net heads.

Theoretical analysis and experimental verification show that, as the diameter difference between the small-end and big-end of conical centrifugal fan, the wind pressure difference of non-uniform air-flow forms, which results in high transversal wind velocity in the front of vibrating screen (the highest velocity is 2.6 m/s).

The in-cylinder pressure with and without knock were processed by discrete wavelet transform. Wavelet energy of different levels were calculated and analyzed to obtain DME knock characteristics. The analysis shows that the energy distributions with and without knock display different characteristic. Without knock, the energy value of the detail D3 at level 3 is the largest, and the value of the detail D1 at level 1 is the largest with knock. With the increase of engine speed, or adding LPG into DME injected in the port have little effects on energy distributions. The knock intensity, however, plays a key role in determining their distribution. The more intensified the knock is, the larger the energy values of D1 goes. The energy value of D1, D2 and D3 can be used to detect knock.

This causes low fuel economy of the power source and is the main reason of high power losses in conventional hydraulic excavators. In order to solve this problem, a new control strategy based on hybrid technology was presented.

At first, the 3-D dynamic analysis on the piston sector was done and the force change principle of the piston sector was analyzed in the Matlab program. Then, the theoretical mathematic model about the flow field in the piston sector with the acentric and inclined armillary seam was built based on two parameters: the inclined angle φ and the acentric distance e. These two parameters φ and e were numerically solved with the theory of dynamic pressure supporting and the result of the dynamic analysis on the piston sector. The numerical analysis on the leaking flow field in the piston sector with the acentric and inclined armillary seam was done in the Matlab program with the method of 1-D searching in some conditions. At last, the simulation was done with Fluent and the experimentation was conducted. The computing and analysis results indicate that the armillary seam in the piston sector is acentric and inclined considering the high press and high velocity, the change extent of the leaking flow rate in the piston sector is broader than which in the piston sector with the assumed homocentric armillary seam, but the average leaking flow rate is less in practice.

The β in carotene particle size was measured, and the stability and retention of β-carotene during storage were determined by HPLC. The particle size of β-carotene nonodispersions stabilized by sodium caseinate (SC) was generally larger than that in the presence of Tween 20, sucrose fatty acid ester (SE) or decaglycerol monolaurate (ML750). The addition of SE or ML750 could increase the ability of sodium caseinate to stabilize β-carotene particle formation. It is suggested that sodium caseinate can be useful to partly replace SE as emulsifiers in the preparation of β-carotene nanodispersions with less than 50 nm mean diameter. During storage at 4°C, although the β-carotene content in the nanodispersions showed a significant decrease with increasing storage period, especially in the case of Tween 20 as emulsifiers, the size distribution was almost unchanged in all prepared β-carotene nanodispersions.

The computational domain was made up of impeller passages, volute casing, impeller side chamber and seal clearance. Under the hypothesis of steady flow, the RNG k-Ε turbulence model and RANS equations in multiple reference frames were used to simulate the flow fields. The good agreement of computational and experimental data shows that the CFD method is appropriate for the present study. Computational results reveal that the flow fields are unaxisymmetric in the impeller side chamber, and much more complex than that in an enclosed rotor-stator system. Nevertheless, along axial direction, the velocity profiles are similar with each other both in the impeller side chamber and in the enclosed rotor-stator system.

Through comparing the prediction accuracy of PLS models, it shows that all db wavelet transform can eliminate the noise in VC NIRS effectively, the prediction accuracy of PLS models are higher than models not being treated. When the wavelet was db5, the best prediction effect was obtained, with the correlation coefficient R between the prediction and true values being 0.9427 and the expected variance RMSECV being as low as 2.02 mg/(100 g).

By using the time-averaged N-S equation and the standard k-Ε turbulence and the SIMPLEC algorithm simultaneously, the internal characteristics of flow field were simulated. The calculated velocity, pressure and turbulent kinetic energy distribution of the turbulent flow in hydrodynamic retarder were given. The method of loss analysis was proposed which changed value of Rothalpy was used to compare the retarder ability. The result shows that the model under 55° vane degree has the biggest impact because the loss of friction and impact made hydrodynamic loss most.

MOGA (multi-object genetic algorithm) and multi-criteria decision method were applied to multi-objective optimization of suspension parameters, with root-mean-square values of vertical acceleration of body, front and rear tire load at 50, 80 and 100 km/h on A, B and C level road as objective functions. The results show that on average, root-mean-square value of vertical acceleration of body reduces by 40%, root-mean-square value of dynamic load of front and rear wheel reduces by 30%, and the performance gets better. This method, making decision after searching the Pareto solutions, can help the designer get the best answer under different demand. Compared with the traditional multi-objective optimization method, it is more applicable and effective.
