The servomotor drive turret punch press is attracting more attentions and being developed more intensively due to the advantages of high speed,high accuracy,high flexibility,high productivity,low noise,cleaning and energy saving.To effectively improve the performance and lower the cost,it is necessary to develop new mechanisms and establish corresponding optimal design method with uniform performance indices.A new patented main driving mechanism and a new optimal design method are proposed.In the optimal design,the performance indices,i.e.,the local motion/force transmission indices ITI,OTI,good transmission workspace good transmission workspace(GTW) and the global transmission indices GTIs are defined.The non-dimensional normalization method is used to get all feasible solutions in dimensional synthesis.Thereafter,the performance atlases,which can present all possible design solutions,are depicted.As a result,the feasible solution of the mechanism with good motion/force transmission performance is obtained.And the solution can be flexibly adjusted by designer according to the practical design requirements.The proposed mechanism is original,and the presented design method provides a feasible solution to the optimal design of the main driving mechanism for servo punch press.
A novel asymmetric Ni/PVC film has been developed by solution casting method. The structure, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic interference （EMI） shielding, and impact resistance were investigated. The results showed that the Ni particles were asymmetrically distributed along the thickness direction in the film. The top surface resistivity increased with film thickness, while the bottom surface exhibited the different trend. EMI shielding effectiveness （SE） depended on formation of closed packed conductive Ni network, which was influenced by both Ni content and film thickness. A linear relationship was observed between EMI SE and film thickness. The films with lower Ni content showed the faster increasing rate of EMI SE with film thickness. Some of the films show appreciably high EMI SE （〉 40 dB）, indicating the promising application in EMI shielding field. Moreover, the films exhibit different impact performance under different impacting directions. All the experimental facts demonstrate that the asymmetric structure endows the film achieving high-performance EMI shielding function.
The poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) brush was covalently bonded on an initiator-coated silicon wafer via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. The polymer brush was (76.2±0.1) nm in thickness (by ellipsometer) with a grafting density of ca. 0.27 chains/nm 2 . The tribological properties of the poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) brush were investigated by means of ball-on-disk tests in a rotational mode under water lubrication for tribological application. The experimental results exhibited a low friction coefficient of ca. 0.03. The excellent lubrication property of the brush was due to its amide groups in the polymer chains. It was supposed that the good lubrication property of the brush was attributed to the cross-linked polymer network formed by the hydrogen bond association of N-H…O==C and the water molecular layer adsorbed by the terminal amide groups in the brush. The poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) solution also exhibits a lubrication property due to physical adsorption of the polymer chains.
The remarkable ability of geckos to climb and run rapidly on walls and ceilings has recently received considerable interest from many researchers.Significant progress has been made in understanding the attachment and detachment mechanisms and the fabrication of articulated gecko-inspired adhesives and structured surfaces.This article reviews the direct experiments that have investigated the properties of gecko hierarchical structures,i.e.,the feet,toes,setae,and spatulae,and the corresponding models to ascertain the mechanical principles involved.Included in this review are reports on gecko-inspired surfaces and structures with strong adhesion forces,high ratios of adhesion and friction forces,anisotropic hierarchical structures that give rise to directional adhesion and friction,and“intelligent”attachment and detachment motions.

In this paper,three kinds of water-soluble fullerene derivatives were synthesized via electrophilic addition reaction and cycloaddition reaction,respectively.The chemical composition characterizations of these derivatives indicated the successful preparation of C60(OH)x,C60(C(COOH)2)x and C60(OH)x(NHCH2COOH)y fullerene derivatives.The aggregation and morphology characterizations showed that the three kinds of derivatives had an ideal spherical aggregating structures and excellent dispersibility in water,especially C60(OH)x and C60(C(COOH)2) x.The lubrication performance of the fullerene derivatives acted as lubricant additives were investigated at different concentrations in the range of 0-1 wt%.The results indicated that the addition of polyhydroxyl and carboxylic derivatives could improve the lubrication properties,which led to the reduction of wear to about 40% at most.It is attributed that the optimized substitutions of fullerene molecules may be of benefit to their distribution properties and lubricating behaviors in water based lubrication.
