In order to meet the requirements of lightweight and replace steel with the aluminum for a component on the high speed rail, the forging process of a complex-shaped aluminum alloy component was researched and the parameters were optimized with the DEFORM-3D finite element simulation technology. The qualified products were finally obtained instead of the original steel castings by reducing weight of 65%. It is noted that the parts with complicated shape and non-symmetry, metal flow uneven during forging process that lead to incomplete forming, higher forging pressure problems. In this paper, such problems were analyzed couple with numerical simulation method based on a certain forming pressure. Moreover, the model and slot was reasonably designed. In addition, the size of blank was constantly optimized to change the metal flows direction and cavity filling mode. Finally, the forgings with good surface quality and mechanical properties were obtained by production test, and can be used as reference for this kind of forging components.

The contact between balls and screw races or nut races is a kind of typical non-conformal contact. The study of contact characteristics of ball screw will provide theoretical bases for improving transmission efficiency and working properties of ball screw. In this study, hertz contact theory was adopted to construct the solution formula of ball screw’s contact stiffness, ball screw’s contact characteristics in terms of axial load, design parameters and material properties was analyzed, and the contact deformation value of the contact between ball and screw races was got using finite element simulation method. The simulation result is close to the theoretic value, which proves the correctness of the theory analysis. The present study offers theoretical support for the design and application of high speed, heavy load and precision ball screws.

According to the principle of the experimental modal analysis, this study is based on tool system of the MIKRON UCP 710 numerical control machining center as test object for experimental modal analysis. Using the integral polynomial recognition method to identify the modal parameters (natural frequency, structural damping, and modal shape), and finally matching the results with the vector analysis method and the finite element simulation method. The results show that integral polynomial recognition method has higher precision than the vector analysis method to identify the multi-degree of freedom system; the experimental modal analysis can also obtain better modal parameters of the structure system, and a higher precision than the finite element simulation method. Obtained the MIKRON UCP 710 high-speed milling center tool system accurate modal parameters provides the necessary theoretical and experimental basis for the further study of the stability properties in the cutting processing of the high speed machining tool system.

Multi-way tube on air conditioning header is considered as the research objective .Finite element simulation method is utilized to simulate and analyze the deformation process of metal. Through analyzing the distribution law of velocity on work piece neutral plane and displacement law of typical nodes, common law in deformation process for metal flow was revealed. Results suggested that: metal which is on terminal supplementary zone conspicuously flows along horizontal. Metal which is on forming zone conspicuously flows along bulge, metal which is between bulges flows little, these laws provide a reference for the choice of forming technology.

For four types of railway rails, corresponding rolling tests have been executed by using the JD-1 wheel/rail simulation device based on the Hertz simulation method, which can ensure the reciprocal contact condition between simulation rail and wheel under experimental conditions approximate to practical contact conditions. The results indicate that, for the rail material which has a higher hardness, the wear volume was less and the plastic deformation layer was thinner after the rolling test, but the crack propagation was more significant and the fatigue damage was severer, showing that its wear resistance was better. The analysis shows that the fatigue resistance of U71Mn rail was better, and considering fatigue is the main failure type for high-speed rail, so it is more suited to the high-speed railway.

In order to improve the seed filling performance of mechanical hole type seed metering device with high speed, a vertical disc metering device was designed with seed agitator to improve the seed filling probability. Discrete element simulation method and physical prototype bench tests were used to simulate and analyse the seed metering process. The structure parameters of the seed agitators were optimized by the quadratic orthogonal rotation central composite design test. The results showed that: 1) the addition of seed agitator had a significant influence on the MIS (miss index), among which the concave type had the lowest MIS, and it was the highest without agitator; 2) for concave type agitator, the optimal value of depth and angle were 3.1 mm and 60.5°, respectively; 3) the physical prototype tests showed that the QFI (quality of feed index) was more than 95% under the speed of 2-10 km/h, and the MIS was less than 1%, which meets the requirements of precision sowing.
