In order to analyze interference fringes obtained from infrared interferometer spectrometer collection and accurately inverse the corresponding spectrum distribution function, the spectrum algorithm based on Michelson interferometer structurem was designed and the corresponding spectrum software was completed by VC++. Experiments were tested using three nearinfrared wavelengths of 830,940, and 1 064 nm to compared with FTIR500 spectrometer test data and MATLAB simulation data. Experimental results showed that the spectral data in the main wavelength and the amplitude of the probe selection position obtained by the algorithm was similar with FTIR500 spectrometer. But the aspect of noise and clutter rejection was better than that of FTIR500 spectrometer. The data processing speed was slightly lower than MATLAB. However, the signal to noise ratio of the spectral distribution function was higher than the data processing results of MATLAB. These prove that the system has certain advantages.

In order to study the law of mechanical components reliability and sensitivity under the condition of load actting many times and reduce manufacturing costs by modifying component design parameters according to the sensitivity, a reliability model was built by combining the probabilistic perturbation method, the moment method and considering the times of load acting. The reliability sensitivity of mechanical component with arbitrary distribution parameters on the condition of known first four moments of basic random variables was studied, applying the probabilistic perturbation method and the Edgeworth series technique, combining the order statistic theory to study the influence of load action time on the reliability and sensitivity calculation. Calculation results of the reliability by this model were different from the traditional models. Considering the times of load action, the reliability values were different under different times of load action. A bolt was taken as an example to get the reliability variation with the increase in the times of loads. The reliability and reliability sensitivities of the mean and variance of the random variables were studied. The curves of reliabilities and sensitivities were obtained. Law with the role of the times of load action was that the reliability decreased as the times increased with a monotonic trend, the reliability value was minimum when the times of load action was maximum. The curves of reliabilities of variables mean and variance had different trend. Among which the biggest influence factor effect on the reliability with time was the diameter mean and variance of bolt. With the time increase, the bolt crosssection diameter became the dominating factor affect the reliability of the bolt.

The traditional product architecture cannot meet requirements of low cost and individualization. 〖JP2〗Open architecture allows products have the advantage of mass customization to meet the personalized requirements of customers. Modules of the open architecture product (OAP) consist of common module, customized module and personalized module. Module partition and module planning are important steps in the open architecture product design. A module planning method was proposed for the OAP design which utilized the axiomatic design as the analysis framework and quality function deployment (QFD) as the basic model. Axiomatic design was adopted to map the relationship between functional requirements and conceptual structures.

A hierarchical clustering method was used to cluster elements in the design relationship matrix. QFD was used to plan the type of components and the module type planning guideline was established. The module type was decided based on the type of parts. A toy painting machine was designed using the proposed method with the open architecture, which showed the feasibility of the module planning.

In the development of the axial flow blood pump, the blood was usually taken as a Newtonian fluid. When taking into account of the existence of local artery stenosis and other geometric mutation occurs, an area with very low flow shear rate meight be produced in the arterial partial flow field. So the nonNewtonian characteristics of blood should be considered.  A model of the axial flow blood pump was established, and the impaction of the flow and the rotate speed on the inlet and outlet of the flow field in the blood pump was analyzed through CFD as well as the influence of the guide vane on the flow field. By the drive experiment of the designed blood pump, the output flow and pressure were measured. The results showed that the designed blood pump was consistent on the drive performance of the simulation.

This paper built a mathematical model of CRFHCP hollow cathode plasma discharge. After analyzing key factors influencing the plasma discharge, various hollow cathode plasma discharge scheme with different electrode configuration mode, different sample position and different removed hollow cathode structure were designed. Through the determination of contact angle, surface energy calculation and SEM photos, the hydrophobic PP film morphology was characterized before and after plasma treatment under different plasma discharge scheme. According to the experimental results, there are smaller contact angle and larger surface energy in removed hollow cathode plasma discharge structure with radial nozzle than that by other ways. It is proved that the optimized CRFHCP hollow cathode plasma discharge structure can more effectively improve the hydrophilic of material surface.

Combined with an engineering example and experiment data, theoretical formula of the reinforced concrete (RC) beams shear capacity with highperformance ferrocement laminate (HPFL) after fire was deduced and verified. Considering the impacts on the strength of concrete and steel, the calculation model was put forward on the basis of domestic and international scholars research on the changes of concretes and steels strength after fire. It was assumed that there was no relative slipping between steel and concrete and the tensile strength of concrete was ignored. Combined with the limit equilibrium principle, the softening of concrete compressive strength under the condition of the tensile strain was considered. Regardless of the coupling action of temperaturestress, the equivalent section method was adopted on the basis of trussarch model. The results show that this method of reinforcement significantly improves the shear capacity of the reinforced beam. The calculation results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. The results can be referenced for beams strengthened with highperformance ferrocement.

 In order to analyze the influence of the radial clearance to the reliability of the fourrow conical roller bearing, the special calculator program of bearing BEM was compiled based on the method of three dimensional elastic contact boundary element method with frication, in which the plate units were used to simulate the rollers. When equal radial clearance and unequal clearance were applied to the mill fourrow conical roller bearing, the distribution of radial pressure, radial and axial load were simulated with the program. The influence rules of radial clearance to the pressure and load distribution of fourrow conical roller bearing were analyzed. According to the result, the load proportion of the mill fourrow conical roller bearing didnt change when equal radial clearance was adopted. And the number of the standunderload rollers decreased and the load of one roller bearing increased when positive equal radial clearance was adopted. The situation was opposite when negative equal radial clearance was adopted. When unequal radial clearance was adopted, the load proportion of the row with the larger value of radial clearance decreased and the bias factor was decreased.
