In order to more realistically describe the failure rules of aircraft system and improve the accuracy of reliability analysis, the reliability analysis model of airplane was established using mixed Weibull distribution. Due to the difficulty of parameters estimation for the established model, it was converted into an unconstrained optimal mathematical model by using the idea of K-S test and performing maximum of goodness-of-fit as the optimization goal, and then a parameters estimation method of mixed Weibull distribution was established. Improved particle swarm algorithm was used to solve the optimal mathematical model. Because of using the variance of particle swarm to automatically adjust acceleration factor in the iterative calculation process, the efficiency of solving optimal mathematical model was improved, and the probability of falling into local optima solution was decreased. The numerical examples showed that the suggested method had characteristics including higher parameter estimation accuracy, simple and easy to implement, rapid convergence speed, and it was not easy to fall into local optimal solution.

In order to expand the stirring region and destroy the mixed isolation region in the stirrer, a novel shifted propeller was carried out based on the mixing theory and the design principle of pitch. Computational fluent software was applied to the study of 3D flow field driven by stirrers composed of shifted six blade propeller (6SBP) and ordinary 6BP respectively in sludge. The flow pattern, velocity distribution and power consumption in stirred tank with two different propellers were extensively analyzed and compared by simulation which were verified by experimental test. The results showed that the values of numerical simulation and the experimental measurement of power consumption were in good agreement, and isolation region was destroyed and the stirring region was enlarged by the asymmetric structure in flow field of 6SBP propeller. The radial and axial velocity distributions of 6SBP were clearly superior to those of 6BP at agitation speed of 3 r/s, while its power consumption was about 77% of that of 6BP agitation.

Secondly, in order to conduct the theoretical calculation, the exhaust system was divided into two degree of freedom model using bellows. Finally, the comprehensive comparison and analysis result that the 7th and 8th modal frequencies were both close to zero, which was mainly resulted from the weak stiffness rotated around the X and Z axis. It also met the desired research result and verified the premise of good vibration isolation effect of bellows in the X and Z axis. Furthermore, the theoretical method and numerical calculation are universal and have engineering guiding significance.

In order to study the influencing degree of main suspension K & C characteristic parameters on handling stability, a 3-DOF dynamic model of three-axle vehicle based on its suspension K & C characteristic parameters was established with considering of the axle load distribution of three-axle vehicle and reallocation of vertical load on both sides of wheels under roll torque. Moreover, on the basis of the 3-DOF model, fuzzy grey correlation analysis model based on main suspension K & C characteristic parameters of three-axle vehicle was established using the cosine value of fuzzy membership and Euclidean distance formula to make fuzzy grey correlation analysis on the influencing degree of main suspension K & C characteristic parameters on steady-state response of three-axle vehicle. The results showed that, for the roll angle, yaw rate and lateral acceleration in the stage of steady-state response, the order of fuzzy-grey correlation degree of influencing factors was all R4>R2>R3>R1>R6>R5 when the speed was 15 km/h; and for the side slip angle, R5(β)>R6(β)>R1(β)>R2(β)>R3(β)>R4(β). The order of fuzzy-grey correlation degree of influencing factors at 35 km/h and 55 km/h was obtained in the same way. Thus, the front axle roll steering characteristics had the greatest influence on roll angle, yaw rate and lateral acceleration while intermediate and rear axle roll steering characteristics had greater influence on side-slip angle, with no statistics difference.

In order to improve the ability of energy absorption and economical performance of a vehicle bumper anti-collision beam, an improved design of anti-collision beam was carried out based on the principle of stiffness matching. A finite element simulation platform was built to simulate the 40% offset static pressure test and the simulation method was validated. Considering factors such as design function, manufacturing cost and repairing expense, a reasonable deformation mode of anti-collision beam was proposed, which involved three phases including beam elastic deformation, crash box plastic deformation and beam plastic deformation. Based on the relationship between deformation and stiffness, a stiffness matching mode of anti-collision beam was proposed. Aiming at the unreasonable deformation of the original anti-collision beam, the improvement and validation were performed by adjusting structural and material parameters. Simulation results showed that the total energy absorption of the improved anti-collision beam was higher, which met the requirement of sufficient energy absorption. The reasonable deformation mode of anti-collision beam was realized by meeting the stiffness matching relationship.

In order to perfect the design system with the mine vehicle driving and steering system, the full hydraulic power steering follow-up system of certain type mine transportation vehicle was studied. The system used a unique shaft structure feedback, contacting the steering control mechanism connected with the spacial link mechanism and achieving the machine-hydraulic with follow-up control of steering mechanism on mine transportation vehicle. By analyzing the stability and response characteristics of the steering system, the open-loop and closed-loop control system transfer function was obtained. It found that increasing the speed amplification coefficient Kv, would reduce the speed error and load error, but it would also reduce the stability of the system. Reducing the flow-pressure coefficient Kce, could reduce the load error, but would make the damping ratio decrease. The result showed that the magnitude margin of the steering system was 12.5 dB, phase margin was 86.2°, the system response rise time was 0.03 s, and maximum overshoot was 52%. And system phase margin was large, the damping ratio was relatively small, but the fast response was good, and then the system was in steady state. The unique structure design of the steering system provides some references for construcing machinery vehicles.
