Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Benefiting from the rapid development of computing power and control methods, probability statistics, linear algebra, and other mathematics methods have been successfully applied in many engineering fields, such as quality control and mechanical engineering. Furthermore, these mathematics methods are becoming the required tools for engineers. The latest mathematics methods and application scenarios have been steadily attracting attention from academic scholars and industry. However, there have not been systematic collections that cover the mathematics requirements in quality control and mechanical engineering, and the latest developments in mathematic theories.

A partial list of topics includes mathematic modeling, solution techniques and applications of mathematics methods in quality control and mechanical engineering, variational formulations and numerical algorithms related to quality control, uncertainty analysis in quality control, and other basic computational methodologies.

It has been a challenge to quantify the credibility of the accelerated storage model until now. This paper introduces a quantitative measurement named the CMADT (Creditability Metric of Accelerated Degradation Test), which quantifies the credibility of the accelerated aging model based on available data. The relevant criterion data are obtained from the natural storage test. CMADT is a credibility metric obtained by measuring the difference in the metric area between the probability distribution of the accelerated storage model and its criterion data. In addition, the accelerated aging model might include multiple parameters resulting in several single-parameter CMADTs. This paper proposes a method that integrates several single-parameter CMADT metrics into a single metric to assess the overall credibility of the accelerated storage model. Moreover, CMADT is universal for different scales of sample data. The cases addressed in this paper show that CMADT helps designers and decision-makers judge the credibility of the result obtained by the accelerated storage model intuitively and makes it easier to compare various products horizontally.

The assembly quality of a complex product is the result of the combined effects of multiple manufacturing stages, including design, machining and assembly, and it is influenced by associated elements with complex coupling mechanisms. These elements generate and transmit assembly quality deviations during the assembly process which are difficult to analyze and express effectively. Current studies have focused on the analysis and optimization of the assembly surface errors of single or few components, while lacking attention to the impact of errors on the whole product. Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, an assembly quality deviation analysis (AQDA) model is constructed in this paper to analyze the deviation transfer process in the assembly process of complex products and to obtain the key features to optimize. Firstly, the assembly process information is extracted and the assembly quality network model is established on the basis of complex networks. Second, the Jacobian-Torsor (J-T) model is introduced to form a network edge weighting method suitable for the assembly process to objectively express the error propagation among product part features. Third, an error propagation model (EPM) is designed to simulate the error propagation and diffusion processes in the assembly network. Finally, the assembly process of an aero-engine fan rotor is used as an example for modeling and analysis. The results show that the proposed method can effectively identify the key assembly features in the assembly process of complex products and determine the key quality optimization points and monitoring points of the products, which can provide a decision basis for product quality optimization and control.
