Subassembly identification is an effective method for solving the problem of "combinatorial explosion" in disassembly sequence planning.In order to identify and generate subassembly accurately and effectively,an algorithm of identifying and generating subassemblies in disassembly sequence planning (DSP) was proposed based on graph models and judgment matrices (GMJM) after analyzing contacts,connections and interferences between the parts in the assembly and corresponding models and matrices.Elements in subassembly collection could be added utilizing graph models and could be decreased utilizing judgment matrices,that was to say,firstly potential subassembly collection was generated retrieving the graph models in terms of criteria of subassembly recognition,then the assemblies that didn't conform to principles of continuity,stability and feasibility in terms of matrix determination formula,and the final subassembly collection consisting of ideal number that met the standards of weight,homogeneity and value would be obtained.The case of gear reducer showed the feasibility and effectiveness of the method.

The concept of adaptable-function machine was introduced,together with the significance of redesigning mechanical product for adaptable functions and that of investigating its relevant change propagation characteristics.The incidence of functions among different adaptable functions was analyzed by means of function abstraction from the point of view of conceptual design,by which the structural and behavioral incidences could be investigated based on FBS.Based on these,a change-based design process flowchart was proposed.The propagation was analyzed by structural constraints and functional constraints,and three rules of the structural constraints were proposed,including the constitution relationship,the bidirectional relationship and the functional constraint relationship.The structural incidence matrix was investigated to describe the possibility of change propagation among different structures.Several typical behavioral characteristics were summarized about change propagation,together with the model of change propagation tree which provided the theoretical principle to choose the best change propagation route.Finally,a case study of redesigning the CA6140 machine tool towards being numerically controlled was provided,and the behavior process of change propagation was used to describe the propagation behavior of specific parts in order to validate the feasibility of the proposed analysis approach.

The product innovation is directly related to the competitiveness of products in the market. Current product innovation of industrial design lacks specific theoretical support,so the aim is to integrate the theory of other fields into the industrial design which can effectively improve the efficiency of the new product design. In order to improve the innovation efficiency in industrial design, a method which combined industrial design theory with Matrix 2003 was introduced. It also summarized the six major design elements, and used these elements to divide the innovation principles based on three dimensions which was the time-space-interaction. All above content formed a unique innovation matrix, which would solve the problems by the effect of the final ideal product. Thus it provides a quick and effective method for the product innovation of industrial design. Lastly the improvement of a express car carriage was taken as an example to further demonstrate the validity and practicability of the method.

Aiming at problems that the calculation method of the field size parameter of the stress field intensity was controversial and difficult to obtain, the theoretical basis of calculation approach of field size parameter was researched based on the assumption of the stress field intensity approach. Considering the calculation approach's feasibility, a approach for determining the field size of component under arbitrary loading conditions was proposed. By given the calculating steps of the field size, the field size for 6 selected notched specimens with different stress concentration factors in 4 kinds of stress ratio was calculated. The figures were fitted by field size calculation results. By analyzing factors which affected the field size according to the figure, conclusions were as follows: field size had a strong linear relationship with the stress concentration factor under the same stress ratio, field size had a strong quadratic curve relationship with the stress ratio under the same stress concentration factor. The calculation approach of the field size parameter was verified through an example. The results showed that the fatigue life determined by the approach proposed was more close to the experiment life, and it improved the accuracy of life prediction on the basis of security.

In order to improve the efficiency of cutter rock-breaking, the impact of cutter spacing and loading on the rock-breaking effect of TBM were explored. With the mechanism of rock-breaking disc cutter and the theory of rock crushing, a series of simulation models were established in ABAQUS to research the granite crushing effect under different conditions on double disc cutter. After simulation analysis, the conclusion were as follows:Under some certain geological conditions, the optimal cutter spacing was 80 mm both for continuous and simultaneous load, but the rock breaking effect of continuous load was better than that of simultaneous load. By analyzing the experimental data, it could be obtained that the minimum specific energy of rock breaking was appeared between 80 mm and 90 mm. Thus, the correctness and rationality of the simulation were verified. The research is good to understand the rock-breaking mechanism of double disc cutter and to accelerate the development of domestic TBM design theory and engineering application.

A new reconfigurable industrial robot was developed with modular method. The robot's load weight ratio reached 1/4.5 by the optimized design of its structure. Each joint of the robot had the same structure, which reduced repetitive design work. And the transmission components of the joint were all standard parts, which reduced the cost. Through the combination of joint modules and arm modules, different robot configurations could be obtained. Aiming at one robot configuration, the forward kinematics model was established with DH method. Since the robot did not have adjacent three-axis that intersected at one point, it was difficult to obtain all inverse kinematic solutions by traditional method. Thus, a new method with the combination of algebraic and geometric methods was proposed to obtain all analytical solutions. Finally, the kinematic analysis of this robot was verified by examples. The kinematic analysis could provide a basis for subsequent robot motion control.

LNG(liquefied natural gas) gasification station resently usually separates the tank pressure adjustment from the peak-shaving technique, so the system is relatively complex and need a large investment. Through demonstration research, a system scheme which was combined by the tank pressure adjustment and peak-shaving technique was proposed. Aiming at the characteristics of large lag, time-varying and nonlinear in the storage tank pressure system, the control strategy by taking the generalized predictive control algorithm as the core and the fuzzy control as dynamic feedback compensation was adopted. Accurate pressure control of the storage tank was realized combining with the characteristics of DSP and FPGA device for high-speed data processing. In system practical operation, the control was proved with the advantages of quick adjustment, real-time and strong robustness. And the results showed that the outlet pressure fluctuation of the gasification station was less than 3.5%, and it had a good peak-shaving effect. This system has the characteristics of simple structure, strong anti-interference ability and good peak-shaving effect. And it provides a new idea for city gas peak-shaving system.
