Abstract: Design mode of product form is constructed combining Kansei Engineering (KE) with Ergonomics. KE is used as main technique to transform consumers' feelings and images of shape, size, material, operability of product into design form futures. The main factors and problems of Kansei experiment and Kansei analysis are also identified.Ergonomics acts as the assisting technique for meeting physiological criteria of consumer group. An implement of a product form design was conducted, and then the feasibility of proposed design mode based on KE is discussed which provides related products’ reference to designers.

Abstract: Starting from human design perspective of the product and using ergonomics knowledge, measurement method and model method are adapted to analyze harmonious relations between people in the sedentary state and office chairs in various parts. The research aims at how to correctly apply the theory of ergonomics in the design of new product development to ensure that the technical problems related to design fitness. And for the “Chair family ”--- the sedentary population, the user-friendly design elements of health office chairs, methods and performance evaluation are studied and summarized as well.

Abstract: In the present paper, FE model of the single-layer Kiewitt-8 reticulated domes with a span of 60m was built with using of ANSYS/AUTODYN. The dynamic response of the reticulated domes against the multi-point impact was investigated, where a special impactor was involved. Based on the simulation results, four damage modes were concluded，which are local damage, global collapse, local damage with punching plug, punching plug respectively. It was indicated that the initial kinetic energy of the impactor have a close correlation with the damage mode. Furthermore, the characteristics of dynamic response for each damage mode were shown.

Abstract: In modern buildings, especially the large-scale ones, the use of French windows becomes more and more popular. In these buildings, compare with the traditional heat sink, the floor radiant system has a wide range of applications because the temperature field of it is more uniform and it is much easier to arrangement. In this paper, by the way of numerical simulation, the ground surface temperature field and indoor air temperature field of three different types of floor radiant system are compared using the CFD software FLUENT. At last, the parallel type can be the best choice in the French windows buildings for the temperature field of it is high but not too high to make people feel uncomfortable.

Abstract: Through the research, we make an exploration to public street furniture design in cold cities , focus on analyzing the impact that climate to cold cities of public street furniture. Then make an analysis of the situation about cold cities public street furniture design and many other issues systematically, aimed at the constituent elements of the urban environmental facilities, thus give some advice which is helpful to improve public street furniture design in cold cities, response to the unfavorable factors of the cold climate, in order to seek a scientific design method to create a comfortable and pleasant public street furniture in cold cities.

Abstract: With the development of the economy and the growth of people, health problem become more and more important, and performance of the health care system need operate effectively. The paper evaluates the performance of health care system from effectiveness, equity, and efficiency. It compares four countries’ health care systems based on fuzzy reasoning method. The C-values of the health care system of Niger, China, Denmark and United States are 53.72, 22.87, 0 and 4.93. The result coincides with the fact very well. We use least squares method to get the predicted value of metrics and reevaluate the health care system and the predicted health system is better than the existing health care system.

Abstract: Architecture has changed dramatically along with the development of industrialization. In contrast to some of the more traditional methods of the construction industry organized predominantly along craft lines, architecture can now be the industrial product of components made in a factory [1]. It is the big change in the process of designing, manufacturing and constructing. The three changes make architecture a kind of industrial product, and not only an art work or something else. What details about these changes involved, why these changes exist and how these changes influence architecture are all main things to study. Through analyzing some particular buildings, these problems were made clear, and we found what is good or bad in these changes for architecture. On the basis of the research, we could get a good answer to the direction of the development of architecture in form, design, manufacture style and constructing process.

Abstract: Based on characteristics of data distribution in the low dimension nature, this paper studies the effect of manifold embedding technology used in typical industrial data set analysis, and manifold learning theory was introduced into the visualization data mining to help get quick effective information in a large number of data. Cognitive process with the help of that information reduces the difficulty of analysis and improves the data utilization efficiency, having a high value in engineering application.

Abstract: This study develops an electromagnet-air spring-vehicle coupled model of the actively controlled, magnetically levitated system. Based on the coupled model, the nonlinear module controller based on the feedback linearization is adopted. The experiment verification on CMS04 low speed maglev vehicle is carried out; the results show that the tracking performance and decoupling ability of proposed controller is satisfied.

Abstract: In this paper, we improved the home-made EL experimental set-up, have increased the function of TSC, enable the joint measurement of EL and TSC to measure the trap of shallow and deep. It is significant to study material properties. through the Labview8.6 software programming, the data of temperature and current could be collected, then we can get the curve that the current changes with temperature, it is the TSC curve. Experiment result proved the reliability of laboratory equipment.
