The model surfaces for bionic simulation should be taken from soil animal digging organs, on which the soil motion is similar to what is on the surface of moldboard. By analyzing the distribution of non-smooth units on the body surface of the ground beetle jaw and the soil moving stresses, the design principles of the bionic moldboard for the local and the whole moldboard were presented respectively. As well, the effect of soil moving speed on reducing adhesion, the dimensions relationship between soil particles and non-smooth convexes, the relationship between the enveloping surface of non-smooth convexes and the initial smooth surface of the plow body, and the convex types of the sphere coronal and the pangolin scales,etc.were discussed.展开更多

Although its theoretical and methodological bases are in the initial stage of formulation. Though there are standards for regulating illumination quantitatively, the science has never created a bridge to transfer illumination quantity into illumination quality. How to keep a day image of architectural object without imitating natural lighting？ How unrecognizably to change the image, to make it extraordinary and catchy？ This paper offers a solution in the form of external illumination designing principles. This paper proposes two conceptual ways of creating artificial lighting of buildings and constructions that pursue different goals： the principle of ＂tectonic＂ illumination and the principle of ＂decorative＂ illumination. These principles were developed based on the analysis of the state of the art experience of lighting architectural objects and author＇s empirical study. The latter contained measuring luminosity with luminance meter, processing the data, statistical survey （180 respondents） and lighting modeling in the laboratory of Moscow Architectural Institute.展开更多

However, at the same time, many construction enterprises have to face more intense market competition. Adapting to the market trend and meeting the actual demand of the people for housing construction has become the key point for construction enterprises to occupy the market position. In the new era, people no longer only pay attention to the usability of architectural design, but pay more attention to the coordination among architectural aesthetics, practicality and stability. Therefore, construction enterprises must optimize the design of housing construction schemes, and optimize housing construction projects from the actual situation and cost of the project. Then, as an architectural designer, to do a good job in architectural design, there must be a basic design principle. Then, this paper analyzes the design principles and key points in the process of architectural scheme design, so as to provide reference for relevant people.展开更多

Designing problem chains in the special teaching of "basic principles of Marxism" can effectively improve the teaching quality. The special teaching based on the problem chain design will help the "principle" class to become an ideological and political class with advanced "formula", "craftsmanship" exquisite, "packaging" fashion, and lead college students to establish a scientific world outlook, values and outlook on life. This paper focuses on the connotation, presentation and design of problem chains.展开更多
