In order to solve the cracking and poor reliability problems of motor box of Horizontal Roadheader, the static structural FEA (Finite Element Analysis) of cutting arm & motor box of the EBH160 Horizontal Roadheader was conducted, and the stress and strain contours of FEA were obtained. By comparing the calculated results, the safety factor of cutting arm & motor box was 1.36, which provides a reference for the optimal design of cutting arm & motor box.

Several studies have been conducted to prevent neck injury in rear-end collision. The headrest of the seat which suppresses the relative motion of the head and the torso can suppress the extension of the head, thereby alleviating the injury. The active headrest has a mechanism that supports the head by deploying the headrest at the rear-end collision. The spring remains compressed or twisted until a collision signal is generated and the headrest is deployed after the collision signal. Depending on the shape and deployment structure of the spring, a spring design with a high resilience that is acceptable to the headrest is required. In this paper, design parameter of spiral spring suitable for the structure of the developed headrest is selected, prototypes are fabricated, and development parameters such as development time and development distance are checked and optimal design parameters of the spiral spring are derived. The feasibility of the headrest with the designed spiral spring was verified by the finite element analysis.

A Compliant XY micropositioning stage is purported for situating a material sample in nanoindentation tester process. This paper aims to develop, analyze and optimize a XY compliant micropositioning stage. The working stroke of proposed XY stage is amplified by combining the four-lever and a bridge amplification mechanism. To enhance the performances of the stage, the main geometric parameters are optimized by an integration method of Taguchi method, response surface method (RSM) and genetic algorithm (GA). Firstly, static analysis and dynamic analysis are conducted by the finite element analysis in order to predict initial performances of the XY stage. Secondly, the number of experiments and the data are retrieved by combination of the finite element analysis-integrated Taguchi method. Thirdly, the effects of main design variables on the output response sensitivity are considered. Later on, mathematical model for the amplification ratio was established by the RSM. Finally, based on the mathematical equation, the GA is adopted to define the optimal design variables. The results of numerical validations are in a good agreement with the predicted results. The results depicted that the proposed hybrid approach ensures a high reliability for engineering optimization problems.
