Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop high-performance Au-coated Ag alloy wires (ACAA wires) and demonstrate the effect of Au coating layers on the bonding performance and oxidation resistance for stable and reliable electronic packaging applications.
Design/methodology/approach
ACAA wire with a diameter of approximately 25 µm and Au layer thickness of approximately 100 nm were prepared by the continuous casting, plating and wire drawing method. The bonding performance of the ACAA wires were studied through bonding on 3,535 chips. The oxidation resistance of ACAA wires and Ag alloy wires (AA wires) were comparatively studied by means of chemical oxidation tests, accelerated life tests and electrochemical tests systematically.
Findings
ACAA wires could form axi-symmetrical spherical free air balls with controllable diameter of 1.5∼2.5 times of the wire diameter after electric flame-off process. The ball shear strength of ACAA wire was higher than that of AA wires. Most importantly, because of the surface Au coating layer, the oxidation resistance of ACAA wires was much enhanced.
Research limitations/implications
ACAA wires with different lengths of heat affected zone were not developed in this study, which limited their application with different loop height requirements.
Practical implications
With higher bonding strength and oxidation resistance, ACAA wires would be a better choice than previous reported AA wire in chip packaging which require high stability and reliability.
Originality/value
This paper provides a kind of novel ACAA wire, which possess the merits of high bonding strength and reliability, and show great potential in electronic packaging applications.

Abstract
Purpose
On-orbit assembly technology is a promising research topic in spaceflight field. For purposes of studying the dynamic performance and reducing weight of an on-orbit assembly satellite structure frame, this paper aims to propose a structural optimization design method based on natural frequency.
Design/methodology/approach
The dynamic stability of the satellite under working condition depends on the mechanical properties of the structure matrix. A global structural optimization model is established, with the objective of mass minimization and the constraints of given natural frequencies and given structure requirements. The structural optimization and improvement design method is proposed using sequential quadratic programming calculation.
Findings
The optimal result of objective function is effectively obtained, and the best combination of structural geometric parameters is configurated. By analyzing the relationship between the structural variables and optimization parameters, the primary and secondary factors to the mass optimization process of the microsatellite satisfying the dynamic performance requirements are obtained, which improves the effectiveness and accuracy of the system optimization design.
Originality/value
This method can coordinate the relation between satellite vibration stability and weight reduction, which provides an effective way for the optimization design of on-orbit assembly microsatellite. It has reference significance for the similar spacecraft framework structure design.

Abstract
Purpose
Assembly variation analysis generally demands probability distributions of variation sources. However, due to small production volume in aircraft manufacturing, especially prototype manufacturing, the probability distributions are hard to obtain, and only the small-sample data of variation sources can be consulted. Thus, this paper aims to propose a variation analysis method driven by small-sample data for compliant aero-structure assembly.
Design/methodology/approach
First, a hybrid assembly variation model, integrating rigid effects with flexibility, is constructed based on the homogeneous transformation and elasticity mechanics. Then, the bootstrap approach is introduced to estimate a variation source based on small-sample data. The influences of bootstrap parameters on the estimation accuracy are analyzed to select suitable parameters for acceptable estimation performance. Finally, the process of assembly variation analysis driven by small-sample data is demonstrated.
Findings
A variation analysis method driven by small-sample data, considering both rigid effects and flexibility, is proposed for aero-structure assembly. The method provides a good complement to traditional variation analysis methods based on probability distributions of variation sources.
Practical implications
With the proposed method, even if probability distribution information of variation sources cannot be obtained, accurate estimation of the assembly variation could be achieved. The method is well suited for aircraft assembly, especially in the stage of prototype manufacturing.
Originality/value
A variation analysis method driven by small-sample data is proposed for aero-structure assembly, which can be extended to deal with other similar applications.

Abstract
Purpose
To gain accurate support for large aircraft structures by ball joints in aircraft digital assembly, this paper aims to propose a novel approach based on visual servoing such that the positioner’s ball-socket can automatically and adaptively approach the ball-head fixed on the aircraft structures.
Design/methodology/approach
Image moments of circular marker labeled on the ball-head are selected as visual features to control the three translational degrees of freedom (DOFs) of the positioner, where the composite Jacobian matrix is full rank. Kalman–Bucy filter is adopted for its online estimation, which makes the control scheme more flexible without system calibration. A combination of proportional control with sliding mode control is proposed to improve the system stability and compensate uncertainties of the system.
Findings
The ball-socket can accurately and smoothly reach its desired position in a finite time (50 s). Positional deviations between the spherical centers of ball-head and ball-socket in the X-Y plane can be controlled within 0.05 mm which meets the design requirement.
Practical implications
The proposed approach has been integrated into the pose alignment system. It has shown great potential to be widely applied in the leading support for large aircraft structures in aircraft digital assembly.
Originality/value
An adaptive approach for accurate support of large aircraft structures is proposed, which possesses characteristics of high precision, high efficiency and excellent stability.

Abstract
Developing waterway-waterway transfer is an important path for Shanghai's container logistics to innovate service models. Taicang Express Line, a typical case of service model innovation, plays an important role in elevating the standing of Shanghai Port as a container hub port and in developing China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone. From the three dominant transfer service models, the waterway-waterway transfer for container logistics of Taicang Express Line has the traits and experience in streamlining logistics processes, innovating logistics clearance models, saving logistics operating costs, offering port logistics cooperation experience for replications and promoting integration of regional port logistics resources. However, it also harbors issues in infrastructure construction, staffing, container resources allocation and transportation, transportation efficiency and policy innovation. In the future, efforts should be invested to strengthening the construction and staffing of port logistics infrastructure, optimizing the container resources allocation and transport of port logistics systems, improving the logistics transportation efficiency of Taicang Express Line, and pushing forward innovation of the synergistic policy mechanism for regional port logistics.

Abstract
Purpose
Underwater shuttle is widely used in scenarios of deep sea transportation and observation. As messages are transmitted via the limited network, high transmission time-delay often leads to information congestion, worse control performance and even system crash. Moreover, due to the nonlinear issues with respect to shuttle’s heading motion, the delayed transmission also brings extra challenges. Hence, this paper aims to propose a co-designed method, for the purpose of network scheduling and motion controlling.
Design/methodology/approach
First, the message transmission scheduling is modeled as an optimization problem via adaptive genetic algorithm. The initial transmission time and the genetic operators are jointly encoded and adjusted to balance the payload in network. Then, the heading dynamic model is compensated for the delayed transmission, in which the parameters are unknown. Therefore, the adaptive sliding mode controller is designed to online estimate the parameters, for enhancing control precision and anti-interference ability. Finally, the method is evaluated by simulation.
Findings
The messages in network are well scheduled and the time delay is thus reduced, which increases the quality of service in network. The unknown parameters are estimated online, and the quality of control is enhanced. The control performance of the shuttle control system is thus increased.
Originality/value
The paper is the first to apply co-design method of message scheduling and attitude controlling for the underwater unmanned vehicle, which enhaces the control performance of the network control system.

Abstract
Purpose
This research examines factors that determine the improvement of the Russian supply chain sustainability. The strategic business model incorporates ecological, social and economic aspects.
Design/methodology/approach
Considering Trans-Siberian Railway as a typical case, the study selected several cases or the parts of the primary rail connection with the affiliation of important neighbouring countries. The study uses quantitative analyses of a variety of size parameters (e.g. volumes of traffic, logistics costs, delivery distance and air pollutants).
Findings
The empirical findings stress that supply chains should favour in the future railway (or intermodal) connections for piggyback and containerised cargo. Herein lays the reason for the examination of all traditional factors affecting the modal choice and their complementation by the parameters to measure sustainability throughout the supply chains. The inclusion of the green practices positively affected the environmental, social and economic performance of the new approach.
Research limitations/implications
This research focuses on the delivery of cargo in containers and semi-trailers within wagons through the overland corridors. Despite the restrictive empirical findings within the national transport system, some elements can be representative of the international supply chains, provided that intermodal services are the most appropriate for the transportation over long distances.
Practical implications
Clients, media and regulatory bodies stress the consideration of environmental aspects at all stages of a global supply chain. Therefore, their adoption into strategic imperatives of local supply chains becomes inevitable.
Originality/value
An assessment of supply chains for longer distance transportation in Russia has not taken sustainability into account within cost analyses.
