To increase A-scan signals’ time resolution of thin multilayer composite materials in ultrasonic nondestructive testing (UNDT), a new approach of deconvolution technique based on wavelet multi-resolution analysis was proposed. To solve the drawbacks of limited resolution in time domain and poor stability of conventional deconvolution technique when ratio of signal and noise decreased,wavelet was used in deconvolution to decompose ultrasonic echo signal in variousbands. And then one of these bands was selected and after reconstructing this band, deconvolution was applied. Computer simulation results indicated that comparing with conventional deconvolution technique, this method improved a lot in increasing resolution in time domain (especially under low ratio of signal and noise).

Through analysis on principle of spatial rolling mechanism of a new type of rolling shear, its explicit 3D nonlinear path equation was established by taking coordinates of key points as variables. Then the solution theory of locations between guide rod and frame hinged point was modified. Depending on the development of a large-scale 2 800 mm rolling shear with single-shaft and doubleeccentricity in some large iron steel plant, the kinematics path of this mechanism is simulated. The results of calculation of overlapping between upper and lower shear blade and horizontal offset of blade arc showed that application of explicit path equation and the revised guide rod restraint theory are an important means to improve path solution accuracy, to decrease horizontal displacement of blade arc and to increase evenness degree of blade overlapping. On-site shear overlapping, horizontal comprehensive displacement of blade arc validated the correctness of the above theory and revised restraint theory.
