R. Germany, here he obtained a series of the most important inventions, Lu introduced the multi loop feedback and the modern control conception into electro hydraulic proportional components and systems and innovated a series of fluid power control equipments, which integrated inner fluid volume and/or pressure measurement and multi electro- mechanical- fluidic feedback getting much better static and dynamic performances compared to the traditionals, Lu also constructed a non - linier mathematic modeling of the Fluid power control System for digital simulation and realized the multi targets optimizing for the MI/MO fluid power system.
His work were published and selected into many technical handbooks and Textbooks of universities for the post graduate students in Germany, Japan, Sweden, China and etc; Then Lu return to P. R. China and founded the Institute of Fluid Power Transmission and Control at ZU, latter which became a national key Laboratory, Lu as leader and supervisor still make intensive research and development on the Electro Fluid power transmission and control Technology, various advanced components and applied systems have been developed and transferred to application, the design theory and Methodology were described, the testing standards were drafted for national and international, the CAD package and computer aided specialized testing instrument with process program have been built up, a series of applied basic research on fluid mechanics, system analyze and control optimizing, Hydraulic servo simulator, the CAD/CAE lab, the water hydraulics, and the digital and servo Pneumatic Lab have been well installed, the Institute hosts a regular international conference ( ICFPTC) from 1985, Lu as academic Program Chairman of ICFPTC, Hangzhou, China. In 1985,1989,1993,1997,2001,2005 he won 25 Patents, more than 280 Published academic Papers, 6 Monographs and scientific Books, many invited Presentations/Lectures in the international academic or educational Conferences, Editor or co-Editor of many scientific and technical magazines; During 1988 to 1995, As President of Zhejiang University Lu encouraged and promoted developing of Researches, the post graduate school and International exchanges, it promoted ZU to became as one of the top research universities in China; In 1997, Lu Chairs the Presidium of CAS initiated a proposal to the Top Leaders of China titled Facing the Knowledge driven Era, Shall be built up a national innovation System in China, In 1998 CAS started a new reforming and developing process, to goal to response the frontiers of world sciences and to make creative contributions, which is basic, strategic and foresighted to the national economic sustainable development and social progress, it will be to become a world level bases for knowledge and technology innovation, training and nurturing of advanced S&T talents and incubating high tech industries. The situation and potentials have been looked vary well since 1998, many frontier, inter disciplinary and the most strategic research projects, active younger scientists and international cooperation and collaborations have been encouraged and supported, the institute structures, running mechanisms, such as the institute autonomies, academic freedoms, the innovation cultures and the academic evaluation process, as well as the research infrastructures and the research funds have been significantly improved and renewed, CAS steps a new developing stage.
