Honeycomb sandwich (HS) structure has been widely used in aerospace applications because of its high specific strength and high specific stiffness. The structure of the lightweight HS panel is complex. Thus, establishing an equivalent simplified model is indispensable to improve the efficiency of the dynamic analysis of HS panels. In this paper, three commonly used dynamically equivalent modeling methods for HS panel are studied.

Commercial greenhouses are the backbone of farming industry in the regions with arid climatic conditions. Design & implementation of the control systems are driving a major opportunity while doing the up-gradation of conventional type commercial greenhouses. The greenhouse control modules have strong interactions between its parameters, experimental results emphasized that good control system selection can provide a revolutionary increase in terms of crop yield with a minimal energy utilization.

In the field of oil & gas drilling engineering, the Rotary Steerable System (RSS) is very widely used in directional drilling, the whole drillstring is rotated from the surface by a hydraulically driven top drive. In this paper we analysis of the dynamic model of the Rotary Steerable System (RSS) with a single stabilizer and flex-sub and takes a method of the longitudinal and transverse bending continuous beam method to analyse the stress of RSS with the flex-sub.

To improve the HMCVT gear shifting smoothness of the self-propelled cotton picker, the quadratic orthogonal rotation test was carried out through the HMCVT test bench and control system with engine speed, clutch oil pressure, flow control valve, load torque, displacement ratio as the influencing factors while jerk, dynamic load coefficient, speed drop, weighted acceleration RMS, frictional work as the response indexes.

This paper presents an electromechanical hybrid model combining a driving circuit and a TWUSM. (1) A driving circuit model combining circuit components with the load-dependent equivalent circuit model is proposed to simulate the real electric network. (2) The teeth discretized method is employed to refine the contact status and interaction forces limited to the teeth space, which improves the accuracy of the rotor step response not only in the rising time, but also the steady value.

Aiming at the problem of moving path planning of a cellular robot on trusses in space station, a triangular prism truss is taken as the research object, and an optimized ant colony algorithm incorporating a gravitational search algorithm is proposed. The simulation results show that the path and planning time of the cellular robot can be effectively reduced when choosing truss path.

This research investigates the outcome of wire EDM process over the taper cross-sectional workpieces of Titanium Alloy (Ti6Al-4V). The outcomes result in better kerf width, surface finish, wire wear and metal removal rates, which can be controlled by taper angle of the workpiece, current, and pulse-off time. The effect of these parameters over the four outcomes of the wire EDM process have been studied in this research. Mathematical models have been developed to predict the outcomes.

To strengthen the convective heat transfer ability of the limited cooling air in the cabin, temperature field homogenization (TFH) in the core flow region of the engine block area was achieved. The TFH optimization model helped minimize the temperature gradient in the core flow region and maximize it at the heat transfer boundary, and the optimum vector field and flow path were obtained. More comprehensive changes to the structural design were made according to the TFH.
