Recent Advances in Complex Mechanical System

Dear Colleagues,

At present, a new round of scientific and technological advancements is emerging. The new generation of information technology represented by the Internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, etc., is accelerating integration with industrial technology. The mechanical equipment system is facing new challenges and scientific conundrums, such as the integration of design and manufacturing, the integration of structure and function, the extreme service environment and working conditions, the high quality of equipment accuracy, the autonomy of operation decision-making and control, the equipment manufacturing and service greening, which put forward higher requirements for independent design and manufacturing of complex equipment systems. The deep integration of multi-source heterogeneous information and knowledge of mechanical equipment in the whole life cycle of creativity, design, processing, assembly, testing, service, maintenance and recovery, and the development of intelligent design methods for complex equipment are important directions for future equipment innovative design.
