Selected a slope rock as objective, the mechanisms of slope movement influence upon underground mining were proposed, and respective structural models were built by means of numerical modeling and physical simulation.It holds the point that the influence of slope movement on underground mining could becontrolled to some extent by appropriate measures. The results indicate that, forgully-ward mining, which mines toward a gully, the slope rock slides horizontally and rotates in layers; for gully-away mining, which mines away from the gully, the slope rock rotates in a reversed polygon. The slope movement associated with mining under a gully isattributed to pre-existing free faces in the ground gully and underground mining-inducedfree faces.展开更多

The mechanism that protects the woodpecker's head has aroused the interest of ornithologists, biologists and scientists in the areas of mechanical engineering, material science and electronics engineering. This article reviews the literature on the biomechanisms and materials responsible for protecting the woodpecker from head impact injury and their applications in engineering and human protection.展开更多

However,material removal rate is not only related to geometric conditions such as the local cutting width,but also constrained by feeding speed as well as the motion capacity of the five-axis machine. This research integrates machine tool kinematics and cutter-workpiece contact kinematics to present a general kinematical model for five-axis machining process. Major steps of the proposed method include:(1) to establish the forward kinematical relationship between the motion of the machine tool axes and the cutter contact point;(2) to establish a tool path optimization model for high material removal rate based on both differential geometrical property and the contact kinematics between the cutter and workpiece;(3) to convert cutter orientation and cutting direction optimization problem into a concave quadratic planning(QP) model. Tool path will finally be generated from the underlying optimal cutting direction field. Through solving the time-optimal trajectory generation problem and machining experiment,we demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多
