An improved robust data preprocessing method based on Fast-MCD algorithm Wang, Wei (1); Zhao, Li-Jie (1); Chai, Tian-You (1) 2011, 32 (6):  761-764.  DOI: - Abstract ( 374 )   HTML   PDF (961KB) ( 1126 )   Robust estimation is usually used for dealing with the outliers in the industry process data. A new robust estimation method is proposed for improving the Fast-MCD algorithm which has random starting value and artificial value of subsection. Fuzzy clustering is adopted to improve the computing efficiency in this method and the clustering center and clustering number are used to replace the starting value and subsection value. This method is implemented to analyze the temperature and conductivity data of sodium aluminate solution, and the simulation results show the proposed method can realize the identification of outliers. It also can reduce the unreasonable influence of outliers to soft sensing. Compared to Fast-MCD, it has the merits such as rapid convergence and high efficiency.

Adaptive sliding mode control using RBF for TCP networks Ye, Cheng-Yin (1); Jing, Yuan-Wei (1) 2011, 32 (6):  765-768.  DOI: - Abstract ( 303 )   HTML   PDF (1671KB) ( 572 )   For the problem of congestion control in TCP networks, an adaptive sliding mode control algorithm is presented based on the RBF neural network. To simplify the design of the sliding mode controller, the uncertain parameters of the systems and the nonlinear compensation of the systems are incorporated into a lumped uncertainty. Since the upper bound of the system uncertainties may not easily be obtained, a RBF neural network is used to learn the upper bound of system uncertainties. And the output of the RBF neural network is used to compensate the upper bound of system uncertainties, so that the effects of the system uncertainties can be eliminated. The RBF neural network is used to design an adaptive sliding mode controller which not only ensure the existence of the sliding mode on the surface and asymptotic stability of the systems, but also eliminate the effects of the system uncertainties. Simulation results verify the favorable stability and robustness of the algorithm. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The application of harmony search algorithm for solving shortest path problems Gao, Li-Qun (1); Yi, Yu-Feng (1); Zheng, Ping (1); Cheng, Wei (1) 2011, 32 (6):  769-772.  DOI: - Abstract ( 355 )   HTML   PDF (1606KB) ( 1155 )   This paper proposed an improved global harmony search algorithm (IGHS) to solve the shortest path (SP) problem. Firstly, a dynamical genetic mutation probability was defined and introduced into the harmony search algorithm, which can effectively prevent the IGHS from trapping into the local optimum. Secondly, a dynamical priority-based encoding approach was used for harmony representation in IGHS, and a path will be built according to the value of decision variable in the harmony vector. The shortest path will be obtained through updating harmonic memory. The experiments have been carried out on different network topologies for networks consisting of 20~100 nodes, and three performance indexes were used to compare the proposed algorithm with PSO-based and traditional harmony search (HS) based shortest path searching algorithm. It is shown that the performance of the proposed algorithm surpasses PSO-based and HS-based approaches for this problem. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Without assuming the boundedness and differentiability of neuron activation function, a new criteria is proposed by way of constructing a suitable Lyapunov function. Using Hadamard product, a vector-matrix form of neural networks with infinite distributed delays is obtained. It solves the problem with infinite distributed delays only by imposing constraints on the interconnected matrices and derivative of time delays. The condition is expressed by a linear matrix inequality, which can be easily computed in MATLAB toolbox. Comparisons between the results and the existing ones through two numerical examples imply the effectiveness of the proposed result. References | Related Articles | Metrics

A multipath routing algorithm for space information networks Liu, Jun (1); Liu, Xiang-Jun (2); Ye, Ning (1); Sha, Yi (1) 2011, 32 (6):  795-797+801.  DOI: - Abstract ( 389 )   HTML   PDF (962KB) ( 562 )   A multipath routing algorithm is proposed for space information networks on the basis of a deep interview to its characteristics. In the algorithm, a space information network topology is divided into backbone and non-backbone. Since the motions of backbone nodes are periodic and predictive, routs between them are statically configured. In the static configuration, each node is assigned a selection factor that indicates the probability to be selected in a certain route, which effectively avoids network bottleneck. Routs containing non-backbone nodes as a part are generated on demand for dramatic change of non-backbone topology, which makes overhead of rout maintaining under tight control. Multipath routing is constructed adaptively according to network environment, and a load balance mechanism is also designed to balance load among multipath. Rout maintaining automatically operates on the change of topology, which improves autonomous ability of the network. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a fast convergence speed with little cost, and improves network processing ability, which indicates the algorithm well suits space information networks.

The microstructure, morphology, microhardness, and formation mechanism of the samples were analyzed using micro-hardness tester, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the coatings of Ni-P, Ni-P-SiC are amorphous and the hardness values are 572 HV and 649 HV, respectively. The coatings are converted from amorphous to crystalline by heat treatment and the hardness increases obviously. The maximum hardness of the Ni-P coating and the Ni-P-nano-SiC composite coating is 1045 HV and 1341 HV after heat treatment at 400°C for 1 h. Nano-SiC particles do not take chemical action in electroless bath. They only are deposited in composite coating with the Ni and P and play a particle composite reinforcing role. The Ni-P-nano-SiC composite coating grows in layer mode. Its growth direction is perpendicular to the surface of the steel substrate. Nano-SiC particles can increase the speed of the electroless composite plating and improve the growth of the composite coating with a thin sub-layer mode. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Enrichment behavior of phosphorus in CaO-SiO2-FetO-P2O5 slag Wang, Nan (1); Liang, Zhi-Gang (1); Chen, Min (1); Zou, Zong-Shu (1) 2011, 32 (6):  814-817.  DOI: - Abstract ( 299 )   HTML   PDF (1732KB) ( 646 )   The distribution of phosphorous in bulk slag, inside and outside the 2CaO · SiO2 in the molten CaO-SiO2-FetO-P2O5 slag was investigated. The research results showed that the existing 2CaO · SiO2 solid particles are the condensation sites for the phosphorous enrichment. The enrichment process of phosphorus in the molten slag can be considered as the three substeps: (1) the mass transfer of phosphorus from bulk slag to the surface of 2CaO · SiO2 particle; (2) the formation of 2CaO · SiO2-3CaO · P2O5 solid solution on the surface of 2CaO · SiO2 particle by solid solution reaction, and (3) the diffusion of phosphorus from the product layer of solid solution to the inner of 2CaO · SiO2 particle. Higher temperatures accelerate the phosphorous enrichment. Comparing to the larger 2CaO · SiO2 particles, the completion time of phosphorous enrichment is shorter for the smaller particles, but the larger ones are favorable to the separation of phosphorus-rich phases from bulk slag.

Application of three-dimensional zone method dynamic mathematic model to rolling delay on reheating furnace Li, Guo-Jun (1); Liu, Xiao-Ting (1); Chen, Hai-Geng (1) 2011, 32 (6):  818-821.  DOI: - Abstract ( 325 )   HTML   PDF (736KB) ( 637 )   A 3-D zone method mathematic model of reheating furnace was established based on energy balance to calculate the radiative heat transfer in a reheating furnace. The computational method of a dynamic mathematic model was given based on the steady-state model and applied in reheating furnace for rolling delay process analysis. The simulation results showed that the influence of rolling delay on the heat transfer process last for a long time. The flexible heating strategy should be adopted once the delay occurs. Specifically, fuel supply should be relatively substantially reduced and keep in a period of time after delay for the short time delay. For long delay, fuel supply should start to be reduced in an appropriate moment before delay, and began to gradually restore to the original quantity after delay.

Based on some hypotheses and simplified models, the reliability and sensitivity in correlated failure modes can be obtained by theoretical approaches which, however, bring large errors. According to the definitions of the sensitivity and partial derivative, the mathematical models about the reliability and sensitivity are put forward and solved by Monte Carlo method. How to obtain an appropriate sampling size and increment of the random variables is also discussed. Without considering the relationship between the failure modes, the distribution patterns of the random variables and the ultimate state functions, the reliability and sensitivity in the correlated failure modes can be achieved by utilizing Monte Carlo method. This method is thus accurate and would be widely useful. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Reliability analysis of nonlinear vibration response for gear system with stochastic parameters Sun, Zhi-Li (1); Yuan, Zhe (2) 2011, 32 (6):  838-842.  DOI: - Abstract ( 316 )   HTML   PDF (823KB) ( 623 )   The reliability of nonlinear vibration response for gear system with stochastic parameters is defined with the failure criteria that the random amplitude exceeds the prescribed value in a vibration cycle. With a combination of the numerical solution of nonlinear vibration and dynamic reliability theory, this paper deduces the nonlinear vibration response reliability formula by up-crossing approach for gear system, and calculates the reliability of a gear system with stochastic parameters. The study shows that the approach is efficient to calculate such vibration response reliability of complex gear system. The amplitude of the system changes little when the nonlinear vibration response is periodic. However, when the response turns to be chaotic vibration due to the change of frequency ratio, the system is easy to fail within one amplitude period. As a result, the reliability is very low. The chaotic vibration thus needs to be avoided in the design. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Moreover, this paper analyzed the effects of the texture direction on the evaluation parameters of the surface roughness and the tribology characteristics in terms of the measured value of the work processed by cylindrical grinding and simulation results of the point grinding texture characteristics. The results show that the works with different texture directions have different evaluation parameters of the surface roughness. There is an optimal texture direction angle for the surface roughness in the profile perpendicular to the moving direction. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The objective is to study the mechanism and process of the rockburst under different geostatic stress conditions, which is caused by transient unloading during the excavation of the actual engineering such as underground tunnels and chambers. A numerical test of uniaxial loading was carried out, and then several rockburst experiments with same confining pressure transiently unloaded were carried out under different axial stresses. The simulation results verified that (1) the failure of specimens is concentrated on some narrow belt. Only a few micro-seismic events happen before total failure, whereas large area damage and cracks occur after transiently unloading. Then critical breach on the whole specimen is caused nearby the free surface during unloading test. On the contrary, micro-seismic events hardly happen before transient unloading; (2) the combination of primary slabby shade failure of split and secondary shearing failure is presented when confining pressure is quickly unloaded under a low axial stress. Block breakage of shearing failure takes on principally when confining pressure is moved away suddenly under high axial stress. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Product size characteristics of low-grade hematite in high pressure grinding roll Yuan, Zhi-Tao (1); Liu, Lei (1); Yan, Yang (2); Han, Yue-Xin (1) 2011, 32 (6):  875-878.  DOI: - Abstract ( 242 )   HTML   PDF (1449KB) ( 750 )   This paper studied the comminuted hematite product size characteristics in different processes of high pressure grinding roll(HPGR), including open circuit operation, closed circuit operation with edge product recycles and classification. The results showed that with the specific pressing force increased, the fineness of products decreases and the size distribution becomes more uniform owing to a higher increasing ratio of the F50/P50 reduction ratio than that of the F80/P80 and F20/P20 reduction ratio. The fineness of products decreases with the increasing of edge product circulating mass, while the size distribution becomes more non-uniform resulting from a higher increasing ratio of the F80/P80 reduction ratio than that of the F50/P50 and F20/P20 reduction ratio. Compared with jaw crusher, HPGR gives a higher reduction ratio and more fines in the process of closed circuit and produces a more uniform particle size distribution.

Experimental study of T-section pre-cracked reinforced concrete beams strengthened with near surface mounted CFRP Xu, Ming-Lei (1); Zhu, Fu-Sheng (1); Sheng, Guo-Hua (1); Liu, Hong-Tao (1) 2011, 32 (6):  879-882.  DOI: - Abstract ( 275 )   HTML   PDF (1455KB) ( 562 )   In order to recognize the effects of the pre-cracked degree and the shear strengthening parameters on the performance of the reinforced concrete beams, 9 T-section pre-cracked reinforced concrete beams strengthened with near surface mounted CFRP sheets are tested. The failure modes, internal force and deflections of the strengthened concrete beams are analyzed. The results show that the reinforcement by embedding the CFRP sheets remarkably improves the flexural ultimate bearing capacity. Under the micro-crack condition, the failure mode of all the beams strengthened with CFRP sheets is the debonding of the CFRP sheets from the adhesive layer of epoxy. The pre-cracked degree of the beams has little influence on both the ultimate bearing capacity and the failure modes of the strengthened concrete beams, but has bigger effect on the beam deflection. The bigger the pre-cracked degree is, the more the beam deflects. A better bending performance of the strengthened beams can be achieved if reliable shear strengthening is assured.

A method for uncertain linguistic multiple criteria decision making based on risk attitude factor Zhang, Yao (1); Fan, Zhi-Ping (1) 2011, 32 (6):  883-886.  DOI: - Abstract ( 310 )   HTML   PDF (159KB) ( 822 )   For multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems with uncertain linguistic information, a decision analysis method based on risk attitude factor is proposed. Firstly, the MCDM problem with incomplete uncertain linguistic judgment is described; then, missing values in the judgment are replaced by maximum linguistic interval and complete uncertain linguistic judgment is obtained; thus, the normalized complete uncertain linguistic judgment is transformed into two-tuple judgment by uncertain linguistic mapping function involving risk attitude factor; therefore, appraisal value of each alternative is calculated using ETOWA operator, and the ranking of alternatives is obtained by the comparison of linguistic two-tuple. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the difference of alternative ranking through picking up different risk attitude factors. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Analysis of the small-world characteristics and stability of industrial symbiosis network evolution Huang, Xun-Jiang (1) 2011, 32 (6):  887-890.  DOI: - Abstract ( 263 )   HTML   PDF (929KB) ( 607 )   The industrial symbiosis networks can be divided into autonomous entities symbiosis and compound entities symbiosis. This paper studied their small-world characteristics and stability in the evolution process based on the complex networks theory for the cases of Kalundborg of Denmark and China's Guitang group, respectively. The main findings were: (i) The small-world characteristics of the two symbiosis modes were gradually enhanced during their evolutions whether it was autonomous or compound entities symbiosises. (ii) The autonomous entities symbiosis can withstand more severely dynamic, selective and continuous point attack than the compound one. However, when facing dynamic, selective and continuous edge attack, the compound entities symbiosis was more stable than the autonomous one in the very early stages because its network structure was planned deliberately. But as the attack went on, its resistant ability dropped rapidly than that of the autonomous entities symbiosis. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Dynamic comprehensive evaluation model of incomplete index preference information and its application Huang, Wei-Qiang (1); Yao, Shuang (2); Guo, Ya-Jun (1) 2011, 32 (6):  891-894+899.  DOI: - Abstract ( 346 )   HTML   PDF (1795KB) ( 707 )   Based on the dynamic comprehensive evaluation approach of scatter degree, this paper constructs a dynamic comprehensive evaluation model of incomplete index preference information with considering the influences of time weights and index weights. During the determination of index weights, the "difference drive" and "function drive" are used. When determining the time weights, we use the "time degree" concept and explain it further. The model can reflect the objective preference of decision maker among the indices as well as the subjective differences among evaluation units. Moreover, the "time degree" can reflect the decision maker's preference on recent data. Finally, the application of this model is given for the public expenditure performance evaluation of Liaoning province. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Slotting allowance behavior of retailers in the perspective of industrial organization Chen, Hao (1); Li, Kai (1) 2011, 32 (6):  895-899.  DOI: - Abstract ( 232 )   HTML   PDF (1401KB) ( 535 )   A model which connects lump sum slotting fee and industrial output was built to study the relationship between the retailer's buyer power and its slotting allowance behavior. The effects of slotting allowance behavior on the efficiency of the industrial chain were analyzed using Stackelberg game logic. The results showed that the retailer's slotting allowance behavior can improve the industrial chain efficiency. The retailer's profit and the total industrial chain profit will be enhanced with the increased retailer's buyer power. However, this will harm the manufacturer's profit. The retailer can choose a special form of slotting allowance to maximize the industrial chain efficiency to the vertical integration level. The distribution of profit between the manufacturer and the retailer will be exogenously decided by the retailer's buy power. Comparing with the Spengler's model, the retailer's slotting allowance behavior will benefit the total industry efficiency, the consumer surplus and the social welfare as a whole.

A robust optimization model for fund allocation of bankcard network based on scenario generation Gao, Ying (1); Chang, Zhong-Wen (1); Zou, Yi (1) 2011, 32 (6):  900-903.  DOI: - Abstract ( 284 )   HTML   PDF (1266KB) ( 551 )   This paper studies the fund allocation problem in the environment of China UnionPay Network. Based on analyzing the fund demands of bankcard in China UnionPay Network, we establish a robust optimization model for fund allocation of bankcard network by using robust optimization. In this model, we describe the uncertain fund demands of bankcards by a hybrid scenario generation based on simulation and optimization. Moreover, we simulate the model by genetic algorithm optimization toolbox in the Matlab and obtain the cash and account funds which banks in the network should prepare for satisfying the uncertain fund demands. The result shows that the cash and account funds obtained from the model can satisfy the uncertain fund demands of bankcards. It ensures both the stability and the maximization of the total profit of the network. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The human all-round development evaluation model and its empirical research based on G1-Gini combination weighting Li, Gang (1); Wang, Cui-Ping (1); Pang, Wei-Hong (1); Jiang, Yu-Xi (2) 2011, 32 (6):  904-907.  DOI: - Abstract ( 282 )   HTML   PDF (971KB) ( 646 )   According to the insisting on human-oriented connotation of the scientific outlook on development, this paper constructed a comprehensive evaluation index system and a model of the human all-round development based on G1-Gini coefficient and analyzed the data of China's 10 sub-provincial cities. The innovation and characteristics of this work can be found from the following three aspects. Firstly, by setting up the criterias of the quality of human life, the environment of social development and the ecological environment, the index system reflected the harmony between human and human, human and society, and human and nature. Secondly, through the G1 and the Gini coefficient of index system combination weighting, index weight reflected not only the expertise but also data of objective information. Thirdly, it gave out the key indicators which affected the human all-round development through empirical research on 10 sub-provincial cities. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Research on supply chain optimization of risk averse and coordination contract model Yu, Chun-Yun (1); Zhao, Xi-Nan (2); Guan, Zhi-Min (2); Peng, Yan-Dong (1) 2011, 32 (6):  908-912.  DOI: - Abstract ( 406 )   HTML   PDF (1908KB) ( 803 )   This paper introduces the recently developed financial risk control tool-the conditional value-at-risk to the study of the risk-averse supply chain optimization and coordination. First, for a two-echelon supply chain with a single supplier and retailer, we construct the conditional value-at-risk model, the optimal ordering quantity model and the returns contract model based on conditional value-at-risk under random demand and different risk-averse characteristics. Based on the analysis of the models, it then reveals the impact of the risk aversion of the supplier and retailer on the supply chains coordination and cooperation stability, the optimal ordering quantity and the buy-back price. Finally, we also give a numerical example to verify the conclusions. References | Related Articles | Metrics
