A rolling bearing plays a key role in the gearbox of the cold rolling mill transmission system. As a result, the degradation and failure of bearings can lead to unplanned shutdowns of the entire rolling mill system. Since on-site cold rolling mills work usually in non-steady lubrication rolling conditions originating form variations of multiple parameters, the uncertainty affecting bearing performance in a cold rolling mill transmission system increases, making it more difficult to assess health status and predict the remaining service life of bearings, Therefore, by establishing a coupling model describing the relationship for the rolling mill and normal /faulty gearboxes under non steady rolling conditions, quantitatively studies the influence of various rolling parameters of a rolling mill on the fatigue service life of bearings in the gearbox of the rolling mill transmission system, and verify the effectiveness of linear cumulative damage theory for bearing fatigue service life through experiments and on-site bearing vibration data. The results indicate that as the thickness of the strip steel inlet, lubricant viscosity, and rolling speed increase, or the thickness of the strip steel outlet and rolling roll radius decrease, the service life of bearings gradually decreases. As the fluctuation amplitude of various rolling parameters in the cold rolling mill increases, the service life of bearings in the gearbox of the rolling mill transmission system gradually shortens. Moreover, when the rolling parameter value or fluctuation amplitude increases to a specific values, the remaining service life of bearings will sharply decrease. Under the same rolling conditions, the service life of bearings in gearboxes with faults decreases more significantly than that in normal gearboxes.

A mechanism has been developed to achieve rapid deployment of longitudinally folding wings by utilizing compound actuation from the firing powder and the compressive spring. A theoretical model based on rigid-body dynamics was first proposed to study the deployment characteristics of longitudinal folding wings under compound-driven effects. Subsequently, deployment experiments were conducted using a prototype to validate the theoretical model. It was observed that the folding wings are deployed in 11 ms. Further parametric analysis indicates that the mass of both the propellant and the locking rod has a positive effect on the deploying velocity. However, the angular moment of inertia of folding wings has a negative effect on the initial angular velocity. This work can be helpful for designing the folding wing structures of missiles and aircrafts.

This study aims to provide a clear relationship of how the storage status and duration of the urea affect the efficiency and performance of the SCR system. Focusing on the marine environment, the research compares NOx emissions using new urea solution versus urea solution stored for 5 years on ships. The results indicate that using new urea solution reduces NOx emissions by an average of 30%. Additionally, the study confirms that the impact of the SCR system on the combustion process is negligible. These findings the importance of regular urea solution replacement to optimize the performance of SCR systems installed to meet environmental regulations. Currently, there are no detailed procedures or regulatory standards for urea management and replacement on ships. Considering the strict NOx emission regulations and harsh storage conditions in ship, the study proposes the establishment of effective urea replacement cycles and management procedures.

A novel coupled wheel/track mechanism is proposed to overcome the complexity and limited applicability of conventional coupled wheel/track robots. The mechanism is based on the design of a tracked off-road robot, where the track is separated from the driving wheel and the load-bearing wheel by a fork fixed on the frame. The tension-wheel compensates for the shortening of the track winding length by moving along the frame. The chain transmission between the first pair of load-bearing wheels and the driving wheel enables the wheeled operation. The coupling mechanism is characterized by only one set of walking mechanism, and the coupling is realized by separating part of the walking mechanism, avoiding the use of the clutch. The advantages of this mechanism are its simple and reliable structure, low cost, and easy installation of the suspension system. A simulation experiment is conducted to verify the performance of the mechanism, and a prototype is designed and manufactured for testing. The structure was used to design simulation experiments, and a test model of the vehicle was designed and fabricated. The design specifications were achieved by the results.

In the work, the differential equations of motion of the gyroscopic rotor, built taking into account the anisotropy of stiffness and damping of the flexible support, are solved analytically, by the method of harmonic balance, convenient for obtaining separately amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristics in the direction of oscillations. The equations of the non-stationary process are obtained by the method of changing amplitudes. It has been found that when the linear stiffness of the elastic support is different in two orthogonal directions, two critical velocities and the corresponding resonant regions arise. In the area of each critical speed, there are two amplitude-frequency curves of oscillations of the main direction and the direction perpendicular to it, respectively. The geometric nonlinearity of damping suppresses the elevations of these amplitude-frequency curves more significantly than linear damping. If only one of the two directions has a damping nonlinearity, then its effect is on the amplitude-frequency curves of the corresponding critical speed. It is more efficient to control resonant amplitudes for smooth resonant transitions by enhancing the linear damping with geometrically nonlinear damping. The results of the analytical solution of the equations of motion agree well with the results of direct modeling and experimental studies.

Aiming at the problem that the life cycle energy consumption index of hoisting machinery is difficult to be objectively quantified, a crane energy consumption evaluation calculation method based on the working cycle of the service period is proposed, the typical service working mode of the crane is analyzed, and the working cycle process of the mechanism is clarified. On this basis, the stress cycle characteristics of the crane structure during the service period are determined based on the coupling relationship between the mechanism and the structure, which lays the foundation for accurately evaluating the life index of the crane. According to the relationship between the load rate and effective power of each mechanism during the service period of the crane, the calculation method for the evaluation and calculation of the structure energy consumption during the service period of the crane is studied. Finally, the crane is designed based on the concept of absolute service safety, and an optimal design model of the main girder structure of the crane with the goal of the lowest energy consumption in service is established. Using the research method of this paper to study a certain type of bridge crane, the energy consumption of the hoisting machinery during its service period is not only related to the accumulation of the operating characteristics of the mechanism but also related to the characteristic parameters such as the structure self-weight. The comprehensive evaluation of energy consumption provides an effective quantitative method and a reliable green design theory for crane design.

The working temperature is one of the key factors affecting the efficiency and safety performance of automotive power batteries. Current battery pack design primarily focuses on single layout configurations, overlooking the potential impact of mixed arrangements on thermal management performance. This study presents a module-based optimization methodology for comprehensive concept design of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack. Firstly, the arrangement modules is optimized and performed using particle swarm optimization algorithms considering various arrangement layout (i.e. rectangular, diamond, and staggered arrangements) by taking the intercell spacing and maximum temperature of the modules as design objectives. Secondly, the battery pack configuration design is performed employing a neural network model reflect diverse battery module configurations within the pack, exploring their impact on thermal management performance. The hybrid battery arrangement effectively improves thermal management, and the module spacing helps to enhance heat dissipation. The staggered arrangement has a greater impact on the heat dissipation performance of the battery pack, but the spacing between different modules varies with the position of the modules. When all configuration schemes are staggered modules, the optimal range of the spacing between modules is between 6 and 7 mm. However, the study observes a non-linear relationship between module spacing and the maximum temperature difference within the battery pack. While increasing module spacing initially decreases temperature differences, it eventually reverses, suggesting that spacing alone may not consistently enhance thermal management. Validation with a lithium-ion battery pack case study demonstrates the method’s effectiveness, providing valuable knowledge for future cell and pack designs that employ different battery cell arrangements and diverse cooling strategies.

Finding the potential spatiotemporal co-occurrence behavior patterns of large groups of ships while sailing is a challenging problem of great importance in many real-world applications. Through spatiotemporal data mining of ship trajectory data, route rules, navigation behavior, and potential anomalies can be mined, providing important support for maritime management, navigation safety, and emergency response. With the analysis and mining of ship trajectory data in some hotspot sea areas, this paper introduced a ship spatiotemporal co-occurrence pattern mining algorithm based on association rules. Based on the research of data model and the judgment criterion of spatio-temporal co-occurrence law, such concepts as candidate set, frequency set, and instance set are introduced together with the key procedure of algorithm, including pruning and pasting of candidate sets, screening of instance sets, definition of association reasoning, and association rule mining. Subsequently, the process of implementing the spatiotemporal co-occurrence pattern mining algorithm is devised. In the end, the algorithm is verified by taking the automatic identification system data of ships in hotspot sea areas as the source data. The proposed algorithm can find several ship combinations with spatiotemporal co-occurrence regularity in these hotspot sea areas, and the association rules on the co-occurrence of several ships. The performance of the proposed algorithms is illustrated on a real-world ship trajectory database and made a detailed comparative analysis. The results are very promising in terms of computational time. The experimental results show that our algorithm can effectively identify the motion patterns and behavior characteristics of ships, which provides an important reference and support for Marine traffic management, ship safety and Marine environment protection. The research results of this paper are of great significance for improving the efficiency and safety of maritime traffic, and also provide new ideas and methods for further research in related fields.

The ability to maintain the microenvironment and life-support systems of an extravehicular spacesuit is an important factor in determining the duration of extravehicular activity (EVA). This paper introduces a joint human-spacesuit microenvironment dynamic model. The paper presents novel simplified human body models and analyzes expendable substances. These models can reasonably predict spacesuit safety performance, correctly respond to changes in loads, and aid in the optimization of the intensity of EVAs. According to the simulations, an 8-h EVA consumes approximately 1 kg of LiOH and 2.7 kg of water under the designed working conditions. Liquid cooling systems are the primary thermal management devices in microenvironments. Activity intensity and liquid cooling system flow rate are two important factors that influence the spacesuit microenvironment and life support material consumption. Activity intensity has a significant impact on LiOH consumption, with a threefold increase in metabolic heat increases LiOH consumption by about 2.5 times. Activity intensity plays an important role in the life-support performance of a spacesuit, and proper scheduling is critical to the efficiency and safety of EVAs. The material consumption model can estimate material consumption during the mission scheduling phase, resulting in efficient and dependable operation of the life support system.
维持舱外航天服微环境和生命支持系统的能力是决定舱外活动(EVA)持续时间的一个重要因素。本文介绍了人体-太空服微环境联合动态模型。论文提出了新的简化人体模型,并分析了消耗性物质。这些模型可以合理预测宇航服的安全性能,正确应对载荷的变化,并有助于优化舱外活动的强度。根据模拟结果,在设计的工作条件下,8 小时 EVA 大约消耗 1 千克 LiOH 和 2.7 千克水。液体冷却系统是微环境中的主要热管理设备。活动强度和液体冷却系统流速是影响宇航服微环境和生命支持材料消耗的两个重要因素。活动强度对 LiOH 的消耗量有很大影响,代谢热量每增加三倍,LiOH 的消耗量就会增加约 2.5 倍。活动强度对宇航服的生命支持性能起着重要作用,合理安排活动对 EVA 的效率和安全至关重要。材料消耗模型可以在任务调度阶段估算材料消耗,从而使生命支持系统高效可靠地运行。

As urbanization continues to accelerate, dump trucks assume an increasingly important role in the transportation and construction of infrastructure. The carriage represents a critical structural assembly of dump trucks. One of the primary failure modes of the carriage is weld fatigue failure, which frequently gives rise to the problem of weld fatigue cracking during transportation. To increase the fatigue life of welds and enhance the degree of structural lightweight of a heavy dump truck carriage, a method for anti-fatigue lightweight design based on machine learning and multi-objective optimization is proposed. A high-fidelity finite element model of the carriage is established for static simulation analysis of the typical conditions. Based on the virtual reliability simulation test of the dump truck and the equivalent structural stress method, the fatigue life of the critical welds in the carriage is calculated. The important part thicknesses are selected as design variables through the comprehensive contribution analysis method. The maximum displacement and maximum stress under the dangerous condition are considered as constraints. The mass of the carriage and the minimum fatigue life of the critical welds are considered as optimization objectives. The GA-XGBoost machine learning approximation models (GA-XGBoost-MLAM) and NSGA-II algorithm are employed for multi-objective optimization design of the carriage. The entropy weighted TOPSIS method is utilized for multi-objective decision-making of Pareto solutions. The design after optimization and decision-making shows that, while satisfying the requirements of static structural performance, the minimum fatigue life mileage of the critical welds of the carriage is increased by 157,570 km, representing an increase of 36.58%. Additionally, the mass of the carriage is reduced by 295.69 kg, representing a decrease of 9.47%. Therefore, the proposed design method achieves a good effect in the anti-fatigue lightweight of dump truck carriage.
