In view of the defi- ciency of the existing design theory, according to the performance features of complex mechanical products, the performance indices are introduced into the traditional design theory of ＂Requirement-Function-Structure＂ to construct a new five-domain design theory of ＂Client Requirement-Function-Performance-Structure-Design Parameter＂. To support design practice based on this new theory, a product data model is established by using per- formance indices and the mapping relationship between them and the other four domains. When the product data model is applied to high-speed train design and combining the existing research result and relevant standards, the corresponding data model and its structure involving five domains of high-speed trains are established, which can provide technical support for studying the relationships between typical performance indices and design parame- ters and the fast achievement of a high-speed train scheme design. The five domains provide a reference for the design specification and evaluation criteria of high speed train and a new idea for the train＇s parameter design.展开更多

Hospital readers and architects must consider many complex and interdependent factors, including evolving market demands, patient volume, care models, operational processes, staffing, and medical equipment. The application of digital toots, such as discrete event simulation （DES） and space syntax analysis （SSA）, arrows hospital administrators and designers to quantitativety and objectively optimize their facilities. This paper presents a case study that utitized both DES and SSA to optimize the care process and to design the space in an ED environment. DES was apptied in three phases： master planning, process improvement in the existing ED, and designing the new ED. SSA was used to compare the new design with the existing layout to evatuate the effectiveness of the new design in supporting visuat surveiltance and care coordination. This case study demonstrates that DES and SSA are effective toots for facilitating decision-making retated to design, reducing capital and operational costs, and improving organizational performance. DES focuses on operational processes and care flow. SSA complements DES with its strength in linking space to human behavior. Combining both tools can lead to high-performance ED design and can extend to broad applications in health care.展开更多

文摘The umbilical,a key component in offshore energy extraction,plays a vital role in ensuring the stable operation of the entire production system.The extensive variety of cross-sectional components creates highly complex layout combinations.Furthermore,due to constraints in component quantity and geometry within the cross-sectional layout,filler bodies must be incorporated to maintain cross-section performance.Conventional design approaches based on manual experience suffer from inefficiency,high variability,and difficulties in quantification.This paper presents a multi-level automatic filling optimization design method for umbilical cross-sectional layouts to address these limitations.Initially,the research establishes a multi-objective optimization model that considers compactness,balance,and wear resistance of the cross-section,employing an enhanced genetic algorithm to achieve a near-optimal layout.Subsequently,the study implements an image processing-based vacancy detection technique to accurately identify cross-sectional gaps.To manage the variability and diversity of these vacant regions,the research introduces a multi-level filling method that strategically selects and places filler bodies of varying dimensions,overcoming the constraints of uniform-size fillers.Additionally,the method incorporates a hierarchical strategy that subdivides the complex cross-section into multiple layers,enabling layer-by-layer optimization and filling.This approach reduces manufac-turing equipment requirements while ensuring practical production process feasibility.The methodology is validated through a specific umbilical case study.The results demonstrate improvements in compactness,balance,and wear resistance compared with the initial cross-section,offering novel insights and valuable references for filler design in umbilical cross-sections.

文摘In engineering,the demand for high energy absorption by structures subjected to impact loads is increasing.Balancing the limited space,manufacturing feasibility,and energy absorption capabilities is a key point in the design of many enclosed structures with energy absorption requirements.To achieve a lightweight design and controllable energy absorption by the structures,within a limited space,this study proposes a bio-inspired double-layer impact-resistant structure that can be manufactured by an additive manufacturing method(powder bed fusion),inspired by the microstructure of a woodpecker’s head.The structure is composed of two basic structural units:a quasi-circular ring and an oblique cylinder.The controllable energy absorption capabilities of the structure were studied through a combination of theoretical analyses,numerical simulations,and physical experiments.The results showed that,for the quasi-circular ring structure,the specific energy absorption range of 13-72 J/g could be effectively regulated by adjusting the structural parameters.The specific energy absorption range of 11-137 J/g could be effectively regulated for oblique cylindrical structures.Finally,the structure was applied to the design of engineering impact-resistant devices,proving the effectiveness of the controllable energy absorption of the structure.Moreover,the design process of the structure was optimized,laying a foundation for the structure to better serve engineering design applications.

文摘Finding materials with specific properties is a hot topic in materials science.Traditional materials design relies on empirical and trial-and-error methods,requiring extensive experiments and time,resulting in high costs.With the development of physics,statistics,computer science,and other fields,machine learning offers opportunities for systematically discovering new materials.Especially through machine learning-based inverse design,machine learning algorithms analyze the mapping relationships between materials and their properties to find materials with desired properties.This paper first outlines the basic concepts of materials inverse design and the challenges faced by machine learning-based approaches to materials inverse design.Then,three main inverse design methods—exploration-based,model-based,and optimization-based—are analyzed in the context of different application scenarios.Finally,the applications of inverse design methods in alloys,optical materials,and acoustic materials are elaborated on,and the prospects for materials inverse design are discussed.The authors hope to accelerate the discovery of new materials and provide new possibilities for advancing materials science and innovative design methods.
