The relationship between installation error and contact performance was studied. The tooth surface equation and contact ellipse were deduced, and the imprinting experiment was realized. The tooth contact analysis (TCA) model was developed to investigate the influence of the installation error on the contact area. The formulas of the gap and flexibility matrix were given to develop the loaded TCA (LTCA) model. The influence of the installation error on load distribution was investigated.

In this study, we systematically improved the multi-robot formation control algorithm. We employed a virtual spring approach to stabilize formations, enhanced the Velocity Obstacle algorithm to address collisions in dynamic mobility, and introduced a leader for consistency. Simulations with up to 20 robots confirmed our method's suitability for large-scale formation obstacle avoidance. Position error and path length remained stable as robot numbers increased.

A miniaturized statically balanced compliant mechanism is proposed as a structural solution to effectively lower the working frequencies of vibrational energy harvesters to ultralow levels across a wide bandwidth for practical applications. This mechanism exhibits zero stiffness and zero force within a specific displacement range and stiffness nonlinearity in the overall range. It overcomes the working frequency limit imposed by the size effect, showing great potential application value.

A high-speed wheeled amphibious vehicle was designed and researched based on computational fluid dynamic (CFD) technology. The results were compared with the corresponding test results for verification. CFD is applied to analyze the influence of the wheel flip angle on the resistance performance, and resistance reduction is explained by the change in wake flow-field of the amphibious vehicle. The wheel well was optimized based on our requirement for the vehicle performance on land and water.

Overconstrained linkages always need fewer links to realize complex motion in a 3D space and are supposed to be great for constructing large deployable structures. However, the strict geometric conditions are hard to use in a complicated 3D environment. In this study, joint clearance is actively introduced to improve the adaptivity of the linkages (with an example given). This work is significant for improving the application of overconstrained linkages in a complicated environment.

A novel helical gear mechanism with improved geometry is proposed to reduce transmission errors. For the novel spiral gear mechanism with improved geometry, the maximal contact stresses change more smoothly and have a stronger bearing capacity. The results show that, under the same conditions, the gear in this paper improves the transmission accuracy, and the bearing capacity is also stronger.

A super element of the telescopic boom for an all-terrain crane is proposed, and its geometric nonlinear calculation is realized by the co-rotational (CR) formulation. Considering the cable force, the nonlinear equilibrium equations of the system are established, which are transformed into differential equations, and the load displacement curves of the nodes are obtained. Through the slope ratio of the load displacement curve, the judgment criterion of the instability load is established.

To date, most underwater manipulators have been rigid-link structures with a small number of degrees of freedom and have been unable to perform well in confined spaces. Due to their high dexterity and good adaptability to different environments, snake-like manipulators have strong potential for use in complex underwater applications. In this study, a tip-following algorithm is presented to weave through confined and hazardous spaces along a defined path with high efficiency.

This paper presents a novel united propulsive mechanism inspired by the frog’s hindlimb. This hybrid mechanism is composed of a planar six-bar linkage, which is designed using homotopy continuation and a spatial four-bar mechanism. The two sub-chains connected on the foot form a closed loop, which decreases the degrees of freedom (DoF) of the foot to 2. The preliminary simulations validate the amphibious function of the designed mechanism.

The paper presents a general procedure to determine the instantaneous rotation center for planar mechanisms, or its kinematical equivalent in the case of spherical or spatial cases, from the velocity analysis of the mechanism. The procedure is based on the theoretical results of the Lie algebra, se(3), of the Euclidean group, together with the Killing and Klein forms. The paper shows that a previous contribution contains fundamental errors and it was done in order to unify the theory.

With the requirement of heavy load for pick-and-place operation, a new 3-DoF asymmetric translational parallel manipulator is invented in this paper. This manipulator is assembled by a kinematic limb with the parallel linear motion elements(PLMEs), and a single loop 2-UPR. Owning to the linear actuators directly connecting the moving and the fixed platforms, this parallel manipulator has high force transmission efficiency, and adapts to pick-and-place operation under heavy load.

• With a large load on the vibrating table, the oscillation of the motor shaft angular velocity and the effect of friction on it are more significant.
• Simulink model of the mechanism was developed for numerical calculations.
• Friction increases the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the angular velocity and the coefficient of non-uniformity of rotation.
• Sliding friction influences the frequency, the maximum and minimum values of the work-table kinematic parameters.

We propose two Interval Analysis based methods to characterize novel robots. Interval analysis theory allows us to consider intervals instead of values, making it possible to use computer algorithms, without the drawback of rounding errors. The first proposed method can isolate chosen interest points and is applied to the characteristic cusp and node points of 3R orthogonal manipulators. The second method encloses the robot available postures, giving complementary information on the novel robot.

The problem of dimensional synthesis of mechanisms to trace a given closed curve is solved by (a) representation of curve shape using normalized Fourier descriptors and (b) learning the relation between Fourier descriptors and mechanism dimensions by an artificial neural network (ANN). The ANN developed suggests dimensions of a four-bar mechanism with coupler curve of shape similar to the one desired. The dimensions are further refined by optimization.

Short summary
In order to reduce the energy loss and improve the wear resistance of a piston–cylinder pair in an axial piston motor，an optimized tapered piston bore is designed and applied. A fluid–structure interaction numerical model and a new test rig of the friction force of the piston–cylinder pair are developed. Numerical analysis and experimental results show that the optimized tapered-shape piston bore in an axial piston motor can achieve a significant reduction in leakage flow and friction force.
