Abstract: Regarding front-wheel drive passenger car, because of the limit of power transmission system space, a torque converter was developed to the flat shape. In this paper, a leaned blade flat torque converter was developed with an increasingly narrower torus's profile for the purpose of achieving a smaller axial size. It is composed of a pump having a leaned pump blade, a turbine having a leaned turbine blade and a stator, and the flatness ratio is 0.21. The core of the pump blade's inlet and outlet is opposite separately in the shell and moves 1/3 cascade spacing along the pump's hand of rotation. The core of the turbine blade's inlet and outlet is opposite separately in the shell along the turbine revolving and go astern 1/3 cascade spacing. The computational results indicate that the torque ratio decreases slightly but the torus is more flat when the blade is leaned. And the capacity factor decreases, the nominal torque improves, it may use the small effective diameter to satisfy the match request of passenger car with the same engine power, and it has more vital practical significance to solve the question of front-wheel drive layout's limit.

Abstract: The 10MoWVNb steel lens gaskets are widely used for the flange linking of high pressure tube in the synthetic ammonia system in chemical fertilizer plant. The gasket worked in H₂-N₂-NH₃ environment at the temperature of 300°C. It often fails because of hydrogen corrosion. The microstructure and corrosion characteristic of the lens gasket were studied by optical microscope. The results showed that the hydrogen blister appeared preferentially at the interface of inclusions. The corrosion depth was 0.65 millimeter. There were little intergranular crack on inner surface.

Abstract: Based on the theory of fatigue life prediction and by using the local stress-strain method and the material S-N curve of Q235 deduced by empirical formula; the fatigue was analyzed for the key parts of large-scale liner vibration screener by means of the general finite element analysis software, ANSYS. Thereby, the working conditions of force bearing, reliability and fatigue life-span of the key parts can be judged. The study will provide a theoretical basis for the design , manufacture, and installation of the large-scale liner vibration screener.

Abstract: In industrial design, Color is not only equally important for product design, but also for building the national brands and increasing the cultural added-value of products. Based on the sustainable development concept, not only analysis the Chinese traditional Five Elements Chromatology is similar to the Modern Chromatology, but also analyzes its significance and the possibility of using it in industrial design. Meanwhile, the study also points out that the Chinese traditional Five Elements Chromatology could be well performed in computer design and networking platform, as well as in industrial design when we already set up the transformation and modernization digital annotation. Experimental results have proved the validity of the application of the traditional Five Elements Chromatology in modern society.

Abstract: Based on present research states and new problems of current collaborative design (CD), the paper presents a solution of building Virtual PDM (VPDM) for developing a CD platform on heterogeneous CAD and PDM systems among enterprises. Firstly, VPDM definition and characteristics are put forward, the CD framework in VPDM is proposed and each component of VPDM are analyzed. Secondly, operations and features in CAD are described with Express-G, a unified feature model is built and mapped into database mode. And then, feature-based CD sequence diagram, clients’ status and feature expression are introduced in VPDM environment. At last, prototype system developed using above method makes CD come true in two commercial CAD systems and two commercial PDM systems, which proves that our approach works well.

Abstract: The strength and the stiffness of light-duty truck driving axle housing were analyzed by using the finite element method. The stress distribution and the dangerous section were obtained. The result indicates that there is an obvious stress concentration region in the body of the driving axle housing. The local stress of driving axle housing can be reduced by the improvement of local structure.

Abstract: There is a magnetic field inside of the radial bearing. The magnetic field distribution is one of the key factors that decides the running state and performance of the system. By using the finite element ANSYS software, the magnetic field of radial bearing was analyzed. The analysis indicated that NSSN mode is suiTable for magnetic radial bearing and NSNS mode unsuiTable. There is a magnetic coupling between magnetic poles. There is magnetic leakage for radial bearing, which leaks towards spindle center through rotor and to coil, but it is very little, less than 5%. The research provides a theoretical basis for optimization of system structure and controller design.

Abstract: The heavy-duty truck’s gearbox housing is studied in this paper. The analysis model is built with finite element software. MPC (multipoint constraint) contact algorithm is used to simulate the connections between different gearbox housings. The strength and stiffness of gearbox housing is calculated at its low-speed load case in the first gear. The contour of the stress and displacement is obtained through the calculation results. The results show that the housing meets the design requirements and it provides a reference for optimization and improvement of the gearbox housing.

Abstract: With the gradual expansion of the scale of higher education in our country, contradictions between quality and scale of higher education become more and more obvious. How to build a modern Engineering Training Center in application-oriented engineering colleges in order to meet the social demand for high quality talents The authors think that we should turn to connotation construction after the construction infrastructure and hardware equipments begin to take shape. This paper makes a deep exploration and practice in the aspects of construction conception, teaching orientation, teaching system construction, students’ engineering quality and innovation ability training, and school-running characteristics etc.

Abstract: Based on the time-correlated leakage model and fuzzy random probability theory, a formula for calculating fuzzy random reliability of sealing performance of bolted flanged connections was derived. The optimization variables were defined according to the sensitivity analysis of design parameters on fuzzy reliability of sealing performance. A fuzzy reliability optimization design method of flange was investigated, in which both the tightness of bolted flanged connections and the strength of flange were taken into consideration. As an example, an integral welding necked pipe flange was designed according to the optimization design method proposed in this paper. The designed flange not only satisfies the requirements of flange strength and sealing reliability of connections, but also its weight is reduced by 16% compared with that prescribed in the standard.
