Aiming at the problem that knowledge for supporting innovative design was classified representation and management, and lack of unified knowledge representation and management model, a kind of unified knowledge representation and management method based on 3M (multi-attribute multi-dimensional multi-hierarchy) features was put forward. According to the knowledge demand for innovative design, knowledge attributes were divided into innovation attributes and basic attributes. The innovation attributes were the abstraction of knowledge and realized multi attribute correlation between knowledge, including the function, input and output flow, TRIZ principle, field attributes of knowledge. The basic attributes were the specific description of the physical attributes of the multidisciplinary knowledge, including the background, function, principle, and structural attributes. With the establishment of knowledge representation template based on the unified framework of knowledge innovation attributes and basic attributes, the comprehensive representation and cross transferring of different types of knowledge could be realized, and the corresponding knowledge base prototype system was constructed. The application process of the knowledge repository was demonstrated by the example of the improved design of the nuclear reactor under stack structure, which indicated that this knowledge model could represent and manage design knowledge uniformly, and could assist designers with knowledge search and application in innovative design effectively.

The oil tank inspection wall climbing robot is required to traverse all the barrier free areas on the outer wall of the tank efficiently in complete coverage path planning. Combining with adjacency matrix and path selection function, a grid decomposition algorithm was proposed for path planning of wall climbing robot. Firstly, the working environment of the wall climbing robot was simplified into two-dimensional planes, and the traversed basic path of robot was determined by analyzing the missed area. Secondly, the grid environment was established and each grid was given a xi value to represent its state. Thirdly, the work environment was divided into several sub-regions by rectangle decomposition method. The connection order of each sub-region was determined by the depth-first search algorithm and the adjacency matrix. Finally, in order to determine whether or not the robot was stuck into the dead zone during the traversal and handover of the sub-region, a path selection function fi was proposed by combining with the xi value which could guide the robot to escape from the dead zone quickly. The proposed method was simulated in the virtual environment. The simulation results showed that this method could not only guide the wall climbing robot to achieve complete coverage of the working area with a high coverage rate and a low repetition rate, but also quickly escape from the dead zone. The realization of complete coverage path planning can extend the application of wall climbing robot in detecting tank walls.

In the course of oil drilling, high-quality drill bits play a vital role in reducing cost and improving drilling efficiency. A new hybrid single cone bit was designed by connecting the teeth palm with conical tooth and the cone with PDC teeth. The hybrid single cone bit was added with the PDC teeth based on general single cone bit, which broke rock by shocking and shearing. The big end of hybrid single cone passed through the center of bottom hole, and all teeth rings contacted with wall of hole which could achieve gauge protection during rock breaking. A finite element model of interaction between hybrid single cone bit and rock was established, and the bottom hole model, the main cutting force and rock breaking volume were simulated and analyzed. Bench test was carried out to verify the drilling pressure and the drilling depth which were obtained by the numerical simulation. Research results showed that the drilling pressure and the drilling depth obtained by numerical simulation conformed to bench test results, and the regulation of rock breaking load was consistent with the design characteristics of the cone bit structure. Comparing with the spherical single cone bit, the side force of hybrid single cone bit was reduced by 39.6%, and the rock breaking efficiency increased by 33%. The stability was higher when drilling using the hybrid single cone bit, and it could reduce the probability of well deviation as well. According to the results, the numerical simulation is effective to study the rock breaking law of the hybrid single cone bit, which provides a basis for further design and performance evaluation of the drill bit.

The structural design of the trackless telescopic gantry crane which depends on the traditional empirical methods tends to be conservative and material waste is serious. In order to take full advantage of the bearing capacity of its material, it is necessary to do the structure optimization analysis. During the optimization design of the trackless telescopic gantry crane, in view of the existing problems such as the non convergence and the low computation efficiency of the nonlinear contact model, a new optimization method which was used the node coupling model to replace the contact model was proposed to construct the response surface approximation model, and the model structural parameters were optimized by combining the approximation model and the multi-island genetic algorithm. Taking the component cross-section size of the trackless telescopic gantry crane as the initial design variables, the structural strength, stiffness, weight as the model response, the design method of optimal latin hypercube in the Isight platform was invoked to generate the design variable sample points, and then the finite element analysis software ANSYS was invoked by the DOE module to complete the sample point model simulation to screen out the design variables which had a high effect on the structural response. On this basis, the optimal design variables were used to construct the response surface approximation model, with the structural strength and structural stiffness as the constraints, the lightest structure weight of gantry crane as the objective, and the multi-island genetic algorithm was used to optimize the response surface model. The results of optimization indicated that the structure weight of gantry crane could reduce 23.4% in the premise of ensuring the structure performance of gantry crane, and the lightweight effect was obvious. The proposed optimization strategy can quickly obtain the global optimal solution and greatly reduce the computational quantities, which provides the theoretical basis for improvement of the trackless telescopic gantry crane structure.

The roll-over protective structure (ROPS) is a set of passive protective device installed on the cab of the engineering vehicle, which can provide effective protection for the driver in the roll-over accident. To solve contradictions between carrying capacity, rigidity, light weight and lateral endergonic effects of ROPS, topological optimization technology based on variable-density method has been introduced to ROPS design of heavy mining dumper, which can solve the problem of ROPS about optimal distribution of materials in a given design area and improve its lateral endergonic effect and vertical and parallel rigidity and reduce self weight. Firstly, the OptiStruct structure optimization module was used to make topology optimization design of ROPS. The optimization objective was to minimize the strain energy in multiple working conditions. Loads and constraints were applied according to the international standards. According to the topology optimization results, the detailed design was carried out. Afterwards, the dynamic analysis software LS-DYNA was used to make dynamic loading analysis for ROPS final design model. Finally, performance contrastive analysis between optimized ROPS and original ROPS was made. Results showed that the topology optimized ROPS did not invade DLV (deflection-limiting volume) under the three working conditions and met the international standards of carrying capacity requirements. The maximum energy absorption in lateral loading reached 175 kJ, which met the requirements of the international standards for the absorption of lateral energy. Compared with the original ROPS, the topology optimized ROPS reduced the load required for the lateral energy absorption from 1 324.5 kN to 1 231 kN. The vertical displacement of the loading center was reduced by 21.3% and the longitudinal displacement was reduced by 34.4%. Its quality was decreased by 24.1%. The research results provide a new method for the design of ROPS of heavy mining dumper, and the researching achievement has certain significance for the follow-up design and improvement of ROPS.

Deep hole straightness error has a strong impact on the performance of high pressure common rail injector. In order to research the influence of different processing parameters on the deep hole straightness, a single factor experiment of the hole in the injector body was carried out by gun-drill, and the straightness was measured by the line structured optical vision measurement technology and the least square method, then the influence of cutting speed, feeding speed and cutting fluid pressure on the straightness of the injector body was analyzed. The results showed that the straightness decreased first and then increased with the increase of cutting speed, when the cutting speed was 6 200 r/min, the straightness was minimum. When the feed speed was small, the straightness was small, as a whole, the straightness fluctuated upward with the increase of feeding speed. When the cutting fluid pressure was small, the straightness was large, and the straightness decreased with the increase of cutting fluid pressure. After the cutting fluid pressure value reached 8 MPa, the straightness increased with the increase of cutting fluid pressure. Based on three factors and three levels of the orthogonal test, the range analysis and variance analysis were done to the test results, and the best processing parameter combination composed of the cutting speed of 6 200 r/min, feeding speed of 50 mm/min and oil pressure of 8 MPa was obtained, then the best parameter combination was verified by experiment. The research results have important reference value for reducing the straightness of the deep hole machining, improving the quality of the injector body and the stability of the injection performance of the system.

The inflatable floating process of UUV (unmanned undersea vehicle) with inflatable floating bag was studied, aiming to analyze the influence of the inflation progress on the movement of UUV. Firstly, force analysis of the UUV in the floating movement was carried out and a movement model of the UUV after the engine shut down was established. Then, taking the delay inflation time and inflation progress time as the key design factors, and the maximum depth of the UUV and the maximum resistance force of the floating bag as the design targets, the DOE(design of experiment) analysis of the movement process of the UUV was carried out. The relationship between the maximum depth of UUV and maximum resistance force of inflatable floating bag and the delay inflation time and inflation progress time was obtained by the analysis. In addition, the interaction effect curve, main effect curve and the correlation diagram and Pareto figure of design factors were obtained. Through the model analysis, it is clear that the delayed inflation time of the inflatable floating bag is the main factor affecting the floating movement of UUV, which provides a reference for the theoretical research and engineering design of the floating device with floating bag of UUV.

The transport of samples in functional units of a microfluidic chip depends on the flow of the liquid in the microchannel. Scale effect aggravates the surface effect, which makes the flow in the microchannel possible to spread continuously without external power. In order to research flow mechanism and kinetic characteristics in microchannel intensively, influence factors of continuous directional transport in microchannel were analyzed based on the Derjaguin approximation, surface energy and Casimir effect, influences of surface roughness on flow characteristics and continuous directional transport efficiency in the microchannel were analyzed by both computational and experimental methods, and constitutive equations and flow control equations for fluids were defined. All above results were verified effective and credible. The results indicated that roughness of the inner wall was a very important factor affecting flow characteristics and continuous directional liquid transport efficiency in the microchannel. The variation of equivalent tooth number, tooth height or dip angle of tooth brought prominent change of main vortex and concomitant vortex in clearance flow near inner wall, which would cause the continuous directional transport efficiency of microfluidic change. The thesis provides some insights and references for the design operational management of microfluidic lubrication, friction reduction, anti-sticking, as well as miniaturization and integration in micro electro mechanical systems.

Engine exhaust manifold works in the harsh environment with the coupling effect of dynamic thermal load and vibration load. It is found that plastic deformation has occurred in some areas with the thermal load alone, and the fatigue failure problem will be more serious coupling with the vibration load. A three-cylinder supercharged engine was taken as the research object to quantify the effect of vibration load on low-cycle fatigue damage of exhaust manifold. Firstly, the heat transfer boundary of the exhaust manifold internal and external flow fields under idle and rated conditions were calculated through the fluid-solid coupling method. The temperature field of the whole exhaust system under two conditions were respectively calculated by combining the temperature and the thermal exchange boundary of the turbocharger, catalyst and other components with that of the exhaust manifold above. Secondly, the elastic and elasto-plastic stress fields under the rated condition, and the elastic stress field under idle condition were calculated coupling with the temperature field and the bolt pretightening force. Based on the results of the elasto-plastic stress field under the rated condition, the dynamic stress field under the engine vibration load was calculated through the modal transient dynamics. Finally, according to the results of elastic stress field under rated and idle conditions as well as dynamic stress field under rated condition, the analysis models of the exhaust manifold about low-cycle thermal fatigue and vibration-thermal coupling fatigue were established with reference to the engine low cycle fatigue test standard and the load spectra from the two fatigue models corrected by the Neuber's rule was used to evaluate the fatigue life with the principal strain method. The result indicated that the risk region was mainly located in the high temperature and tensile stress regions. Compared with low-cycle thermal fatigue, the entire life with vibration load decreased by 25.2% and in some regions that came up to 57%. The study result provides theoretical basis and reference for the prediction of transient vibration-thermal coupling low-cycle fatigue life of exhaust manifold.

Biomechanical study of human upper limb is one of the most referenced aspects for the optimization of upper limb posture and the design of related products. Firstly, a real-time optical motion capture system was used to capture the real-time position of key points of the human body in the course of executing the specified action. The focus of the work was to calculate and deeply analyze the experimental data of the human upper limb by MATLAB software. Then, the human upper limb was simplified as a club model, and the variation value of each joint angle of the human upper limb during the motion process was calculated by the cosine theorem. The dynamic joint torque was computed by the inverse dynamics and the change of main muscle force was calculated by the optimization analysis. Lastly, the human upper limb motion comfort was evaluated by calculating the real-time load rate of human upper limb muscles, and the motion comfort index evaluation model of human upper limb was established. The experiment result proved that the human upper limb muscles were in the comfort state when the body executed the specified action at a sitting posture. The results provide a theoretical basis for the depth analysis of human upper limb motion.
