Vibration characteristics analysis is important in the design of multi-span pipeline with different support conditions. In order to analyze the natural frequency and the vibration modal of the multi-span pipeline, a matrix transfer method is proposed in this paper. With the multi-span pipeline divided into single-span pipes, the transmission formulas for the deflection, angle, bending and shear between two adjacent spans are deduced, in combination with the Krylov function solution of the free vibration equation for the single-span pipe, and the constraint condition between the two adjacent spans of the multi-span pipeline. According to the boundary conditions on the starting and ending spans, the natural frequency equation and the vibration modal function between two adjacent spans of the multi-span pipeline are presented. The FORTRAN program based on the above principle is written, and the natural vibration frequencies and the vibration modals of two typical multi-span pipelines are investigated and compared with the results from ABAQUS. It is shown that the model presented in this paper is efficient in the analysis of multi-span pipeline and has the advantages of high computational efficiency and convenience for engineering practice application.

RBF neural network suits to control electromotors, which have uncertainty and highly nonlinear systems. However, in practice, RBF neural network also have some obvious defects. For example, the strong dependence on the initial parameter and the poor quality of clustering algorithm. For the above defects, this paper is going to build an optimized RBF neural network through the combination of ant colony optimization algorithms, chaos ergodicity optimization theory and traditional K-means algorithm. On this basis, the optimized RBF neural network will be applied to PID control and then the dynamic performance of the electromotor will be simulationally tested by the designed PID controller. The simulation results show that in the control of electromotor, the optimized RBF neutral network has the characteristic of high control accuracy and strong traceability and also it has the ability to guarantee electromotor control system with steady and dynamic performance.

The current approach of the PID controller design and tuning for the large dead-time system are almost based on the first-order time delay model, such as all PID algorithms and Ziegler function in MATLAB. And these algorithms generally only apply to the following system 0.1<=t /T <= 2 . Therefore, the application effect of these algorithms in large dead-time system are not ideal. Based on the second-order system, this paper proposed a universal tuning method of PID controller for large dead-time process. By the introduction of the controller pre-coefficient  K_f , this method makes the large dead-time system PID controller design and tuning simplistic. The fitting formula of controller pre-coefficient  K_f was given in this paper. The method is simple, versatile, suitable for the object of (t /T )→ +∞ and second-order, higher-order system, overcomes the limitations of traditional PID control algorithm in large dead-time system applications. The simulation results show that the method is correct, effective and has practical value.

ANSYS is one of the most influential finite element analysis software in the world because of its very powerful calculation and analysis ability, but its pre-process function is weak relatively. SolidWorks is the three-dimension parametric feature modelling software of 100% feature modelling and 100% parameterization, which provides product-level automated design tools. In this paper, combining with the intake tower, it discusses the method of modelling in three-dimension CAD software SolidWorks and the interface processing between SolidWorks and the ANSYS code, which decreases the difficulty in modelling complicated models in ANSYS. In view of the function of the birth-death, element and secondary development with APDL (ANSYS parametric design language), simulation analyses of thermal field and stress during the construction and impounding periods were conveniently conducted.

On the basis of the Chinese Visible Human Dataset (CVHD), a three-dimensional human finite element model that includes skin, muscle, bone, the lungs, the heart and the vascular trunk was developed. In the LS-DYNA software environment, a numerical simulation of the blunt ballistic impact, which was caused by a 5.56-mm rifle bullet moving with the speed of 910 m/s toward a human torso wearing a composite body armor vest, was performed, and the stress and pressure response of the cardiovascular system were calculated. The simulation results demonstrated that the blunt ballistic impact introduced a high-frequency pressure response on the chambers of heart, which was characterized by a high amplitude and short duration. The peak values of the pressure waves, measured at the ascending aorta and superior vena cava ports, were 659.3 kPa and 542.8 kPa respectively, which suggested that the blunt ballistic impact on the chest would result in injury to distant target organs through the cardiovascular system. The computational results of this model can provide a basis for predictions of heart injuries, in-depth studies of the mechanical mechanism of cardiovascular injuries to blunt ballistic impacts and further improvements in protective equipment.

The impact of global warming on building energy demand in China was investigated by means of whole building energy analysis model and hourly weather data. Four standard multi-story office-building models, representative of four typical climate locations were constructed. For the time period 2050–2100, the climatic temperature scenario models for four typical cities was used that foresees a 2.7-4.2 °C rise in mean annual air temperature relative to the period 1961–1990 normal temperature and is thereby roughly in line with the climate change predictions made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The simulation results show that the annual cooling energy demand for office buildings with internal heat gains of 20–30 W/m2 will increase by 26-58% while the heating energy demand will fall by 17-52% for the period 2050–2100. This study has also shown that the typical meteorological year (TMY) currently in use by building designers and HVAC engineers in China will lead increasingly to an overestimation of heating energy demand. Similarly, the use of TMY to compute cooling power and cooling energy consumption is likely to result in a progressive underestimation of the future demand. The future building energy demand is set to become a crucial design issue.

In this paper, we present the end-to-end performance of a dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying system over independent non-identical (non-i.i.d) composite Nakagami-lognormal (NL) fading channels by using mixture gamma (MG) distribution. Novel closed-form expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and the moment-generation function (MGF) of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are derived. Moreover, the average error rate and the diversity order are found based on the above new expressions, respectively. These expressions are more simple and accuracy than the previous ones obtained by using generalized-K (KG) distribution. Finally, numerical and simulation results are shown to verify the accuracy of the analytical results. These results show that it is more precise to approximate the composite NL distribution by using the MG distribution than using the KG distribution in the performance analysis of cooperative relaying systems.

A method for image enlargement, making use of the hyperbolic Coons interpolation surface with shape parameters, is investigated in this paper. As a non-polynomial model, the hyperbolic Coons interpolation surface can represent the image better than the general interpolation methods. By altering the values of the shape parameters, the effects of image enlargement can be adjusted until achieving the satisfactory results. Experimental results show that the effects of image enlargement making use of the hyperbolic Coons interpolation surface are better than the general interpolation methods.

This paper presents a fast top-down visual attention method to downsize the search space of template matching. Such a method first generates patterns representing the local structures, and then calculates the pattern distributions representing the template and its surroundings. From here two separate operations are performed: the "pattern weight" is first introduced, which describes how well a certain pattern is correlated to the template, and then weights of all patterns are calculated for later reference. This is the "off-line" operation, and in comparison the "on-line" operation only calculates the pattern of each pixel, whose weights can be indexed conveniently from the off-line results. With all pixels' pattern weights calculated, the weight image is ready, from which we can extract the region of interest for subsequent matching. Experiments showed that our method obtained at least 6.21 times speed-ups over the state-of-the-art methods with little or no loss in performance.

An event structure acts as a denotational semantic model of concurrent systems. Action refinement is an essential operation in the design of concurrent systems. However, there exists an important problem about preserving equivalence under action refinement. If two processes are equivalent with each other, we hope that they still can preserve equivalence after action refinement. In linear time equivalence and branching time equivalence spectrum, step equivalences, which include step trace equivalence and step bisimulation equivalence are not preserved under action refinement [17]. In this paper, we define a class of concurrent processes with specific properties and put forward the concept of clustered action transition, which ensures that step equivalences are able to preserve under action refinement.

Media access control (MAC) protocol design is one of hot topics in the research of underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWSN). The major challenge is the phenomenon of space-time uncertainty caused by the long delay in underwater signal propagation, where the occurrence of frame conflict is determined by not only two nodes’ transmission time, but also by their locations. In this paper, the adaptive bitmap protocol-based(ABMP) within time division multiple access (TDMA) was proposed for UWSN, with specialized space-time uncertainty among mobile underwater nodes reducing channel idle time and improving energy efficiency and transmission efficiency. Finally, simulation experiments are conducted to present that the proposed protocol has better communication efficiency and energy efficiency, compared with other MAC protocols of Token-TDMA and T-lohi in terms of network traffic, end-to-end delay and energy efficiency.

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology has been widely used in various applications. The registration of SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images is the first step in interferometric processing therefore accurate registration is essential for the successful creation and interpretation of interferometric products. However, with the growing number of SAR satellite launch and the amount of data acquisition, the degree of automation of image registration have become increasingly demanding. In this paper, we propose an automatic registration approach based on multi-step matching strategy. In the first step, key points are detected and matched using modified scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) operator which modified by us reducing the influence of speckles. In this step, owing to the existing of speckle and the defect of matching strategy of SIFT operator, the expected level of matching accuracy is about 2 to 3 pixels. In the second step, correlation matching (CM) is used to exclude the matched points with low correlation. In the third step, the probability relaxation (PR) algorithm based on global matching is used to induce consistency constraint and ensure reliability of the matching result. Finally, corresponding transformation function is determined through the relationship established by matched point pairs. In order to verify the applicability of proposed methodology, two SAR images acquired over mountainous regions are used in our experiment. The experiment results show that subpixel registration accuracy and good efficiency have been achieved, which demonstrates the correctness and feasibility of proposed method.

In verification system, it is preferable to build reference model at transaction level which does not produce the output as the same latency as the design itself. But due to the lack of accurately modelling design’s behaviour, there are some scenarios that design’s output is different with reference model’s output due to the different processing delay of stimulus. Scoreboard can get lots of comparison failure when it tries to do comparison between the output of reference model and design under such scenarios. In this case, neither reference nor design is wrong from functionality, but output comparison failure will mix up with the true design issue and bring trouble to the automatic check on design’s behaviour. Cycle based reference model does not have such problem. But it usually takes great effort to implement cycle based reference models and maintain them. This paper provides its study on implementation style of reference model. By predicting all possible output of design, this paper presents a method for reference model to handle such stimulus competition scenarios at the transaction level. The paper also discusses the reference model’s reaction effect on generator, which helps the test hit design’s corner case.

This paper takes Value Added as an indicator of corporate performance. In considering the case of differences in growth opportunities, we use Panel Threshold Model to do an empirical analysis in the relationship between environmental management, capital structure and corporate performance of listed companies in China. The results show that: There is a weak positive correlation between environmental management and corporate performance, which means environmental management can improve corporate performance; there is a significant regime effects between capital structure and corporate performance relying on corporate growth opportunities. Capital structure and corporate performance are negatively related for low growth companies and positively related for high growth companies. This is consistent with the classical theory of capital structure, which means Value Added is more suitable as an indicator of corporate performance than profits in China.

Connecting wind power to the power grid has recently become more common. To better manage and use wind power, its strength must be predicted precisely, which is of great safety and economic significance. Speed sensors are widely applied, it make prediction of wind power more accurate. In this paper, the short-term prediction of wind power is based on self-adaptive niche particle swarm optimization (NPSO) in a neural net. Improved PSO adopts the rules of classification and elimination of a niche using a self-adaptive nonlinear mutation operator. Compared with the traditional method of maximum gradient, NPSO can skip a local optimal solution and approach the global optimal solution more easily in practice. Compared with the basic PSO, the number of iterations is reduced when the global optimal solution is obtained. The method proposed in this paper is experimentally shown to be capable of efficient prediction and useful for short-term power prediction.

The paper focuses on a capacitated vehicle routing problem with two objectives: one is attainment of specific load factor and the other is minimization of total travel cost. Our approach is based on artificial fish swarm algorithm, a swarm-based heuristic, which mimics the foraging behaviour of a fish swarm. After initializing a school of artificial fish, whose validity is guaranteed by a designed repair operator, global optimal solution search is processed through random behaviour, prey behaviour, swarm behaviour, and follow behaviour. Experimental results for a practical distribution instance are reported and show that the artificial fish swarm algorithm performs better than sweep algorithm and genetic algorithm. This paper contributes to the solution methods of vehicle routing problem.

The problem of used product (core) acquisition is an important issue in remanufacturing. In traditional models, remanufacturing systems are assumed to be well-established. However, remanufacturing systems in most developing countries are imperfect and remanufacturers need to make huge initial investments to improve the remanufacturing systems. It is therefore suggested that the effects of initial investment cannot be neglected. In this paper, an acquisition and pricing problem in imperfect remanufacturing systems is studied. The problem is firstly formulated as a two-period nonlinear programming model, and the closed forms of the optimal solution are presented based on Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. Next, the multi-period acquisition and pricing problem, and the effects of the initial investment are discussed. Finally, the conclusions are testified by numerical examples. The results show that with the remanufacturing system improved, the remanufacturer will increase investment and acquire more cores.

Different from general studies on competition and/or cooperation relationship of enterprises, the paper classified enterprises’ technological innovation strategies into cooperation, neutrality and competition, and analysed the evolution of enterprises’ relationship and strategy selection in technological innovation using the evolutionary game method and the MATLAB simulation technique. The paper drew the following conclusions: (1) the increase in technological content may cause two uncertain cases of enterprises’ strategy, namely both parties chose the cooperation strategy, or one party chose the cooperation strategy while the other party chose the noncooperation strategy; (2) the increase in innovation revenue (coefficient) prompted enterprises to eventually tend towards the cooperative innovation strategy, no matter what the initial relationship between enterprises was; (3) the increase in the number of enterprises with the neutrality attitude promoted enterprise groups to tend towards cooperative innovation.

Iterative learning control is a new control technology, which is a branch of intelligent control theory and particularly suitable for the controlled object with repetitive motion. In this paper, a PID-type iterative learning control for DC motor based on the characteristics of repeating motion of DC motor was proposed and the convergence of iterative learning control algorithm was analysed. The input of controlled system in current cycle was amended by the error achieved between the system output and the desired trajectory in previous iteration. It was tested that PID-type ILC had good performance and stability through a large number of simulations and the experiments of the velocity tracking are done by MATLAB software. The results showed that the velocity tracking precision of DC motor was higher and the error was smaller with the increasing number of iterations. The velocity tracking error was close to zero. It was also shown that the motor could fully track the given desired trajectory in some certain iteration. It was also revealed from simulation results that the proposed control strategy was valid and effective for the DC motor.

This paper describes a calculation method based on pressure gradient model to determine leakage point in central heating pipe network which decreases the effect of the ratio frictional resistance. In the calculation method, a pipe resistance characteristic coefficient is introduced. This characteristic coefficient is corrected by hybrid adaptive genetic algorithm. With the characteristic coefficient and the pressure value of each node in heating pipe network, the leakage point orientation in central heating pipe network can be done with the positioning analysis on the heating pipe network leak. The pressure value is calculated using the theory of graph algorithms. In this analysis, the pressure gradient is the most important analytical method. According to the data monitored by supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, the leak position can be located. The experimented results show that the method to locate the leakage point in the thermal system pipe network meets the theoretical need and the experimental one.

Due to the complexity of intensity modulated radiotherapy, it is difficult to meet the current situation of treatments which require real time locating of moving target. In this paper, we propose a new method based on parallax method using external label to locate the moving target. A column test-piece is used to simulate the human body structure for data analysis. A defect model for human body target is implanted inside the test-piece, which is the moving target. Based on the parallax method, the depth of the defect can be obtained by using the two images captured before and after the test-piece moves a short distance. The possible errors which affect the test results are analysed. The effects of errors can be reduced by adjusting the system parameters. The results show that the parallax method is a simple but efficient approach, which can be used for locating moving target in intensity modulated radiotherapy.

This study attempts to study the stress mechanism of a box-type lining structure during its inclined penetration of ground fissure and calculate the normal stress and shearing stress of the structure section. Based on thin-wall structure theory combined with the stress boundary conditions of the physical model of the box-type lining structure, we derived the analytical solution of the normal stress and shearing stress of the physical model. The stress analytical solution indicates that the damage of the footwall of the ground fissure is more serious than that of the hanging wall, which could match the physical model experiment. The effectiveness and accuracy of the analytical solution of the normal stress and shearing stress of the section were verified using finite element software to establish the mechanical model of the box-type lining structure. The results of the numerical model were compared with the analytical solution results.

Based on the theoretical and experimental results of methane explosion propagation in porous metal materials, methane explosion propagation in a one-dimensional straight duct with different layers of porous metal materials is simulated by Fluent software. The layers and length of porous metal materials have influence on the flame propagation velocity and explosion shockwave overpressure. Only the propagation distance of methane explosion is beyond 5 times the diameter of the duct, the flame and explosion wave can be attenuated by the porous metal materials. Moreover, the more the layers are, the better the attenuation effect is. The numerical simulation results show that, during methane explosion propagation in porous metal materials, the attenuations of explosion wave overpressure and flame propagation velocity takes on synchronization and correspondence. Consequently, the porous metal materials can suppress methane explosion propagation. The process of methane explosion in the duct well reappears with numerical simulation, thus the model is established correctly and the numerical simulation is a good supplementary means of experiment.

Brushless DC motor (BLDCM) is the DC motor which uses electronic commutation instead of mechanical commutation. The torque ripple caused by mechanical structure of the motor is small, while the torque ripple during the commutation is about 50% of the average torque. By analysing the unique features of commutation torque ripple, we can obtain the relationship between the commutation current and torque ripple. The current ripple can be suppressed through adding voltage compensation of the three-phase bridge inverter circuit. Then the commutation torque ripple suppression strategy based on iterative learning was raised in this paper. With the MATLAB Simulink platform, BLDCM simulation models, which based on the iterative learning are established and simulation contrast experiments of open or closed-loop iterative P-type with or without adding the voltage compensation have been designed to test and verify the effectiveness of the suppression strategy.

Setting a real-time load model is an effective way to overcome time-variation of power load in course of power load modelling. On the basis of load data sorting, this paper proposes a gradual learning static load modelling method based on power fault recorder data. Firstly, power fault recorder collects and stores valid load data. Secondly, all valid load data will be classified by the time, static load model can be built corresponds to each classification. Thirdly, model parameters of each sort are identified by gradual learning method, for the goal of global fitting optimal for the measured active power and calculated active power, the load model parameters are optimized by using curve fitting method. The identified model parameters can be applied to power system calculation directly without preserving all load data, essential feature of all load data is reserved and modelling operational efficiency is improved greatly. Simulation results show that the gradual learning method is right and effective, which is easier to realize and is of higher precision compared with least squares method, therefore the method has widely applicable value and is prospective in power system on-line static load modelling.

A new Compressed Air Energy Storage(CAES) with scroll was proposed to promote the storage efficiency, which can be acquired by the scroll efficiency tracking control with the timely evaluation, but the flow and torque is not easy acquired because the sensors possessed the merits of high price, lower life-span and subjection to the disturbance, so a torque and flow prediction algorithm based on Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) is proposed adopting a hybrid learning algorithm combining Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with BP. Through the comparison between predictive and the experimental data and the scroll efficiency experiment, the proposed prediction method is validated and can be successfully used to improve Pneumatic conversion efficiency.

The rock mechanics servo system (MTS815) and the acoustic emission testing system (PCI-2) were selected in this paper to conduct the uniaxial compression test and the acoustic emission test from two different direction of the coal and to clarify the acoustic emission feature during the process compression deformation of the coal. The results show that there is an obvious difference on the characteristic parameter of acoustic emission and the spatial distribution during the process of uniaxial compression, which is from different directions. On the initial compression phase, the stress growth rate of the coal from the vertical direction is greater than that from parallel bedding coal and the acoustic parameters. Acoustic emission ringing, energy and event count rate are less than the coal rocks from parallel bedding. The acoustic emission count will increase with arise stress, the coal from the parallel direction is more stable than the coal from the vertical direction; the coal acoustic emission has significantly reduced which from the vertical direction when after the peak stress and there is a little change with the parallel coal rock; The acoustic emission event of the coal which is from the vertical direction and the parallel coal usually concentrates in the lower part of the coal.
