The degree of product design resources reuse is the key factor that influences the enterprise's response time on market demand and the costs of design. The characterization way of customized products gene was defined based on the relationship between customized products and resource reuse. Three kinds of the strategy of resources reuse which included genetic reuse, variation reuse, and mutation reuse were obtained based on genetic and the development process of customized product. For the convenience of the choice to the strategy, the availability of resources was evaluated based on the similarity analysis, the similarity between existing product gene with customized product gene was calculated by Euclidean distance, and the similarity threshold was set based on Weber's law to determine the resource reuse strategy. Finally, the strategy was verified by a design example of customized reusable small agricultural machinery.

Aiming at the stability problems of vehicles,by establishing an extended two degrees of freedom vehicle model and using simplified Magic Formula to fit the practical tire lateral force,the stable zone boundaries of phase-plane were acquired based on phase plane theory. After studying the effects of the road frictional coefficient and vehicle speed on the phase plane of boundary,the boundary functions of the sideslip angle-sideslip angle rate called β-β phase plane and the sideslip angle-yaw rate called β-r phase plane were determined and the vehicle stability control method was put forward.The control strategy was validated on the co-simulation platform based on Simulink and Carsim,when the system phase trajectory got out of the stability region,the stability controller would calculate the required yaw moment by combining β-β phase plane with β-r phase plane,to limit the system within the stability boundary,and thus pulled the unstable states to the stable zone.Finally,by comparing with the two phase plane controllers,yaw rate method and the uncontrolled case,the results showed that the integrated control method had a certain advantage and could improve vehicle stability under extreme condition obviously.

The combined rotor of gas turbine bears large centrifugal stress and high temperature in a long term, and its performance degrads easily. Turbine discs creep is one of the important factors that cause the performance degradation of the combined rotor. To research the performance degradation characteristics of combined rotor caused by turbine discs creep, firstly, the turbine discs creep calculation model of combined rotor considering contact interface stiffness was established, the creep effect and the relationship between creep quantitative data and time were researched. Then a research method for the performance degradation of the combined rotor caused by turbine discs creep was presented. By describing degradation path caused by turbine discs creep through defining degradation degree parameters, performance degradation quantitative evaluation of combined rotor was realized. Finally, the variation law of the performance degradation rate of the combined rotor was studied under the different speeds and numbers of rod. The calculation results showed that the creep rate of combined rotor decreased with the increasing of time, and the first wheel of the turbine got the fastest creep rate; the turbine discs creep caused performance degradation of combined rotor, the greater the rotating speed, the more number of the rod, the faster the degradation rate of the combined rotor. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the influence of turbine discs creep on the structural design of composite rotor, especially when the speed and the number of the rod are changed, the influence can not be ignored.

The frame will be subject to the test of various conditions in the actual moving conditions. So a plurality of topology results under every condition must be considered when conducting topology optimization of the frame structure. While there is a common issue during the process of multi-case topology optimization about how to determine the weight ratio of respective condition and the final topology results of the frame depend directly on this distribution. This issue was showed a further study and a feasible solution to this problem with a combination of surrogate model and genetic algorithm was gaved. At first, a comprehensive object function maximizing the static stiffness under multi-case was defined by using compromise programming approach. And then, a Radial Basis Function surrogate model was constructed by using optimal Latin Hypercube Sampling, meanwhile, optimal weight ratios of every load condition had been obtained with the method of combining surrogate model with NSGA-II. At last, the optimal weight ratios obtained in the previous process were applied into the object function and a feasible topology result of the frame structure was got which had considered multi-case loads. Moreover, the contrastive study was carried out to compare the comprehensive objective optimization approach proposed in this study with those that determined the weight ratio by analytic hierarchy process (AHP) or orthogonal experimental design (OED). Compared with the other two methods, this method had the lowest value of comprehensive objective function and the weighted compliance of all conditions was also the lowest. Results show that the method proposed in this paper is a good solution to obtain weight ratio of every condition in the process of topology optimization of a frame and is superior to reference methods.

In order to improve the braking torque of conventional hybrid magnetorheological brake(MRB) with single coil, a novel MRB with double coils placed on the side housing is proposed. The novel structure enabled it to have larger area of controllable interaction face in cylindrical surface of brake disk and a larger braking torque. The torque model and design method of magnetic circuit of the novel MRB were proposed based on Herscher-Bulkley model. And then a multi-objective optimization under the specific condition was conducted. Comparative analysis between conventional and novel MRB demonstrated that under the condition of the same volume, the novel MRB had a larger braking torque. And in order to make full advantage of the rheological properties of MRF and get a more compact structure, the width of the brake should be 80-100 mm and the reasonable range of the length-width ratio should be 0.6-1.2. After optimization, the braking torque was increased by 11% in the situation which its weight basically remained unchanged. The results can be taken as reference to the design of MRB.

Aiming at path planning problem of AGV accessing cars in intelligent solid garage, a hybrid algorithm is proposed by combining Dijkstra algorithm with ant colony algorithm. Firstly, Link Method was used to establish environment model of AGV, Dijkstra algorithm was applied to plan the initial path of AGV. Then, with the methods of nodes random selection mechanism and the combination of local renewal and global renewal of the pheromone, the traditional ant colony algorithm was optimized and improved. Finally, the initial path planned by Dijkstra algorithm was optimized by improved ant colony algorithm. The simulation results showed that the optimized path from starting point to ending point could be attained with Dijkstra algorithm and Dijkstra-Ant colony algorithm on the premise of effectively avoiding obstacles. Moreover, compared with Dijkstra algorithm, Dijkstra-Ant colony algorithm could effectively raise search efficiency, shorten the search path length, and improve the quality of search path. The results indicate that Dijkstra-Ant colony hybrid algorithm is correct, feasible and effective, and simultaneously exhibits stronger global search ability and better convergence performance, and can meet the requirement of AGV accessing cars in path planning.

With the rebound of the drill rod,the rigid impact between the drill rod and the body of the hydraulic rock drill is more difficult,which reduces the working efficiency and the service life of the hydraulic rock drill.So a design approach to anti-rebound buffer device and a computing method for the rebound velocity of the rod were put forward to solve this problem on the basis of an analysis of wave theory of rebound respectively.The mathematical model of the buffer piston was established based on the coupling of the accumulator and local resistance.Through the mathematical model,the non-linear equation of the buffer piston was obtained.The kinematics of the buffer piston was simulated in Simulink to analyze the influence of different precharge pressure on the dynamic characteristics of the buffer piston and the response ability of the device under different working mediums,and the simulation result was verified by comparing with the experiment result. The results showed that the rebound velocity was related to the working mediums,but not to the precharge pressure,and the rebound velocity increases as the medium coefficient increases.In additions,the working efficiency of the hydraulic rock drill was increased by 7.23%.Considering the high reliability and the good response ability of working condition,the design of the anti-rebound buffer device was finally selected to be used in the actual working conditions.
