A prediction model for surface roughness classification of computer numerical control drills based on fusion of local time–frequency features and global time–frequency features of the Mobilenet_v3_small model is proposed. Correct rates of the training set, validation set, and test set are 85.2%, 84%, and 85.4%. Compared with industrial lightweight network models, this model improved the correctness rates on the training set, validation set, and test set by about 10%, 9%, and 13%, respectively.

In the research and development process of underwater motion control of the beaver-like robot, the hind leg and tail are the main actuators. In order to estimate the driving force of the robot autonomously during underwater movement, we propose this model, which can quickly and easily infer the force of the hind leg on the body. The correctness of this model is verified by experiments and simulations.

This paper proposes a new positional control method for soft pneumatic actuators. The pressure parameter feedback model (PPFM) of the airbag is obtained by adjusting the pressure input through a proportional valve, collecting the air pressure inside the airbag and obtaining the airbag expansion height. The pressure input signal is changed according to the PPFM of the airbag to control the position of the soft pneumatic actuator.

The paper provides a numerical study of a semi-active control strategy for structural vibrations caused by earthquake or wind excitations. A sliding-mode non-linear controller was designed and reinforced by an adaptive switching gain to overcome the chattering problem and perform the stability proven by the Lyapunov stability criterion. The compared and discussed numerical simulation results have shown the performance of the proposed semi-active control.

To investigate the effect of the gear transmission system on the dynamic responses of the metro vehicle driving system, a vertical–longitudinal dynamics, model which considers the frame-hung traction motor and gearbox, is established and is validated to be reliable by comparing the simulation results and field test results in both time domain and time–frequency domain in this paper. Compared to wheelset, the gear mesh force has a greater effect on the force state of traction motor and gearbox.

The dynamic load-sharing characteristics of a face gear dual-power split transmission system (FGDPSTS) of an aircraft helicopter are studied. The effects of error, backlash, support clearance, spline clearance, torsional stiffness and support stiffness on dynamic load-sharing performance are analyzed. The load-sharing coefficient increases with the increase of the error, which provides a theoretical basis for the dynamic stability optimization design of the system.

This study carries out the complex eigenvalue analysis of influence factors of rail corrugation by using the three-dimensional finite-element model of a wheel–rail system based on the theory of friction self-excited vibration. The results show that improving the vertical and lateral stiffnesses of fasteners, controlling the wheel–rail friction coefficient below 0.4, and maintaining balanced superelevation can effectively reduce the occurrence possibility of rail corrugation.

The approach in this research includes data visualization and multilinear regression analysis. Multiple linear regression is a standard selection model in the world of data science. The approach turned out to be promising. However, the results reveal that the implemented technique holds a high degree of predictions, and the number of data sets is adequate. It is also observed that errors are in less concentration as the sum of squared errors is zero for every parameter.

A simple bicycle model considers only geometric and mass properties. Bicycle models considering compliance, tires, and rider posture are available. For the designer, it is important to know if the effect of geometric and mass properties on stability is correctly predicted by a simple bicycle model. Stability indices are calculated by means of bicycle models of increasing complexity. Results show that the simple model correctly predicts only the stability of the single modes.
