The packet dropout was assumed to be exist in the sensor-to-controller link, and two independent Bernoulli distributed white sequences were used to describe the packet dropouts. A fault detection observer was designed to increase the fault sensitivity and attenuate the effects of disturbances. Based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) techniques, a sufficient condition was derived such that the robust fault detection system is uniformly bounded mean-square stable and satisfies the prescribed H∞ performance constraint. A numerical example was given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The parameters of global affine transformation were got by the clustering algorithm, which was used to filter the matched point. For the image mosaic problems of the existing algorithms, a grid-selection mosaic algorithm was proposed. The visual skeleton and the image mosaic offset were put forward to measure the stability of the filtering and the performance of mosaic algorithm. Experimental results indicate that the methods proposed can overcome the problems of traditional algorithms and have better stability and accuracy. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Furthermore, the design of a memoryless feedback controller was solved in terms of the solution of LMIs, making the closed-loop system strictly passive. Finally, a numerical example was simulated by utilizing Matlab LMI toolbox, and the result demonstrates the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Fuzzy query based on XML content and structure Yan, Wei (1); Ma, Zong-Min (1); Yan, Li (1); Wang, Xing (1) 2011, 32 (7):  931-934.  DOI: - Abstract ( 415 )   HTML   PDF (1381KB) ( 591 )   Users often have fuzzy or imprecise requests when querying XML documents. A new approach based on XML content and structure was proposed to reflect users' fuzzy query intention. Based on the fuzzy set theory, a fuzzy extension of XPath query expression was proposed, which can be expressed exploiting fuzzy predicates. And then fuzzy query relaxations was provided to get more querying results which satisfy users' query requests. The proposed scoring method uses an extended vector space model, which considers the relevance of both content and structure when ranking these query results. According to the matching of the structure and content, the nodes whose scores are greater than the threshold are query results. Finally, the efficiency of the approach is demonstrated by experimental results. References | Related Articles | Metrics

An improved self-adaptive log-normal shadow model was proposed in distance measuring. Kalman filter and Markov process were adopted in coordinate estimation. The state equations were established and combined with the states of the measured coordinates to estimate the optimal values of coordinates. Finally, these two improved processes were introduced in the existing triangle localization algorithm. The experimental results show that the improved self-adaptive log-normal shadow model enhances the adaptability and accuracy of the distance-measuring model, and Kalman filter and Markov process reduce localization errors.

The results showed that the SAMs of the γ-APT silane are deposited on HDG surfaces. First, the SiOH groups of γ-APT are absorbed quickly onto the HDG surfaces to form Si-O-Zn. Then Si-O-Si covalent bonds are formed between the γ-APT silane molecules and the zinc surface, releasing water as a byproduct. The SAMs become stable and the compatibility between the SAMs and γ-GPT silane is good when HDG sheet is immersed in the silane for 10 hours. After that the SAMs is no continuity as a mishmash.

Control techniques of oxide scales in hot-rolled heavy and medium plates Chen, Yong-Li (1); Cha, Xian-Wen (1); Chen, Li-Qing (1) 2011, 32 (7):  960-963+980.  DOI: - Abstract ( 429 )   HTML   PDF (1936KB) ( 1258 )   Formation mechanism of iron oxide scales in hot-rolled heavy and medium plates was analyzed to explore the control method of oxide scales. The experimental and industrial results showed that the lower Si and Mn contents, the addition of Gr, the rapid heating with slight positive pressure and partial-pressure oxidization atmosphere, the descaling temperature above 1173°C and the reasonable equipment parameters of descaler can inhibit the formation of iron oxide scales. Adopting reasonable rolling parameters, high-temperature fast rolling and low-temperature finish rolling can also effectively reduce oxide scales. Rolling speed and reduction ratio can significantly affect the oxide scale thickness and surface roughness. The thickness and surface roughness of oxide scale decrease with the increase of reduction rate and rolling speed. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The burst pressure of rolled X80 steel was calculated by this method and compared with those based on Tresca, Mises and TSS yield criteria. The results showed that the burst pressure is a function of the strain hardening exponent n depending on the yield-to-tensile strength ratio ReL/Rm, the original pipe geometry t0/D0 as well as the ultimate tensile strength. The burst pressure decreases with the increase of the strain hardening exponent and increases with the increase of the ratio of thick to diameter and tensile strength. It is also concluded that Tresca criterion predicts a lower bound to the burst pressure, while TSS criterion predicts an upper bound one. However, the burst pressure on the MY criterion lies just between the TSS and Tresca solutions, and the MY criterion almost has the same precision with the Mises solution.

Effect of component activity on coloration feature of hot-dip galvanization bath Le, Qi-Chi (1); Cui, Jian-Zhong (1) 2011, 32 (7):  972-975.  DOI: - Abstract ( 390 )   HTML   PDF (1892KB) ( 675 )   The special color coating on steel sheets or members could be obtained in hot galvanization processing while the bath contains some transitional elements together with the cooling control. Understanding its coloration mechanism from a thermodynamic point of view is helpful for further bath composition optimization due to its potential industrial application. The effects of the main solute elements and impurities in the zinc bath on its excess thermodynamic properties were investigated through the Miedema model and Tanaka relationship together with some basic thermodynamic equations. The results indicated that the activities of solute elements in the bath are closely related to its color generation feature. The effects of solute concentration and hot dip temperature on the bath coloration ability should owe to their effects on the solute activities in zinc bath. The effects of impurities such as Al and Mg and color generation solute Ti are related with their effects on the solvent activity. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Former study on the thermal characteristics of the slide guide get the analytic solutions of the slide guide's thermal deformation by traditional calculation method. It neglects the effect of heat source movement on the slide guide thermal deformation, and the results are thus not accurate. Taking such effect into account, the finite element model of the slide guide was built. The temperature field of the slide guide was obtained by numerical simulation. The thermal deformation of the slide guide was further achieved. The deformation decreases 2.52 μm as compared with that of stationary analysis. The slide guide reaches a thermal balance in about 1.25 hours.

Models were built with a series of simplifications and assumptions and simulated the process in the 3.1 nm high channel. Then the simulation results were discussed, such as the RMSD (root mean square deviations), density distribution of water molecules, and concentration distribution of the ions. The following conclusions were drawn: near the channel wall, water molecules delaminate and form compact layers with a density high up to 2500 kg/m3 while the distribution is smooth in the middle area. The protein molecules pass through the channel along the electric field direction accompanying with rotations and translations due to the function of ions and electric field. The main reason for the charge inversion phenomenon is the electrostatic effect of the channel wall on the ions after comparing the ion distributions under charged and uncharged surfaces.

Data jump method: A new approach to eliminating the deformation monitoring data with gross errors Mao, Ya-Chun (1); Wang, En-De (1); Xiu, Chun-Hua (1) 2011, 32 (7):  1020-1023.  DOI: - Abstract ( 323 )   HTML   PDF (1552KB) ( 868 )   When there are several gross errors in the observations, the Pau Ta's criterion can only eliminate one at a time. If the mutual deviations among the gross errors do not satisfy certain conditions, the Pau Ta's criterion will be invalid. To solve this problem, a new approach named as data jump method based on the Pau Ta's criterion was proposed. It overcomes the limitation of the Pau Ta's criterion. The deformation monitoring data with gross errors can be eliminated in batches. The method is used to process some actual monitoring data, and a good result is obtained, which provides a theoretical basis and algorithm for the gross error determination and elimination using computer program.

Mechanism of the crack formation induced by pre-split blasting and design method for the pre-split blasting hole space Chen, Qing-Kai (1); Zhu, Wan-Cheng (1) 2011, 32 (7):  1024-1027.  DOI: - Abstract ( 900 )   HTML   PDF (891KB) ( 1424 )   The pre-split crack initiation mechanism during the pre-split blasting is still a controversial topic. The clarification of the crack initiation mechanism during the pre-split blasting is of great significance for the engineering design. Comparative analysis indicates that the crack propagation velocity and the blasting-induced gas dissipation velocity change under different decoupling charging coefficients. The comparison of the magnitude of the two velocities shows that the crack propagation is caused by both the blasting stress wave and blasting-induced gas dissipation. It is thus concluded that the pre-split blasting mechanism is characterized by a dynamic process depending on the time and charging parameters. According to the blasting stress wave and blasting-induced gas dissipation induced stress distribution of the hole surrounding, a design method of the pre-split blasting hole space and a calculation equation based on the dynamic compressive and tensile strengths of the rockmass are proposed.

Stability analysis of boundary pillars safety thickness for transition from open pit to underground mining Yang, Yu-Jiang (1); Li, Yuan-Hui (1); Yin, Guo-Guang (2); Han, Hong-Jiang (2) 2011, 32 (7):  1032-1035+1040.  DOI: - Abstract ( 305 )   HTML   PDF (1359KB) ( 862 )   Based on the conditions of open pit and underground mining of Guilaizhuang gold ore, the stability of different thickness boundary pillars was assessed with considering the effect of static load and dynamic load, respectively, by using software of FLAC3D. Under dynamic load, blasting construction load was simulated with usual triangular wave, the vibration velocity and the stress distribution laws of different thickness were then achieved. According to the statistical relationship and the tensile strength standards of rock, the threshold vibration velocity for the boundary pillars with different thickness was analyzed. The results showed that the relationship between the vertical vibration velocity and the maximum tensile stress is linear. The maximum vibration velocity of a particle can be used as the safety criterion. When the ore room span is 8, 10 and 12 m, under the dynamic loads, the minimum safety thickness is 8, 14 and 18 m, respectively. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Adsorption property and mechanism of ammonium sulfamate-bacterial cellulose to Pb2+ Lu, Min (1); Guan, Xiao-Hui (2); Wei, De-Zhou (1); Li, Yan-Ying (2) 2011, 32 (7):  1036-1040.  DOI: - Abstract ( 326 )   HTML   PDF (1799KB) ( 731 )   The new adsorbent of ammonium sulfamate-bacterial cellulose (ASBC) was prepared through chemical modification of bacterial cellulose. ASBC was used for removing Pb2+ in order to study the adsorption property and mechanism of ASBC. The results showed that pH is a very important parameter to the adsorbed efficiency. The adsorption rate can be well fitted by pseudo-second rate model, the adsorption isotherm can be described by Langmuir model and they have good linear relationship. Typical single-molecule layer adsorption of ASBC for Pb2+ can be described. And the electrostatic attraction and chelating effect are one of main mechanisms of adsorption.

Finite element analysis on square tube filled with steel reinforced high-strength concrete subjected to axial compression Zhao, Tong-Feng (1); Wang, Lian-Guang (1); An, Shan-He (2); Li, Xiao-Peng (2) 2011, 32 (7):  1041-1043.  DOI: - Abstract ( 261 )   HTML   PDF (670KB) ( 735 )   The properties of square steel tube filled with steel reinforced high-strength concrete were analyzed by using finite element analysis software ANSYS. The results showed that the improved stress-strain model for confined core concrete is fitting for the simulation of bearing capacity and peak strain. The post-peak response shows a good agreement with the test results before high distortion, but the subsequent deformation doesn't accord with the true state. So ANSYS can be employed to analyze steel tube filled with steel reinforced high-strength concrete. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Analysis on vertical squeeze in industrial clusters by the buyer power of multinational corporations Li, Kai (1); Gao, Jia-Qi (1) 2011, 32 (7):  1044-1047.  DOI: - Abstract ( 216 )   HTML   PDF (817KB) ( 800 )   Attracting foreign investments depend on the strategy of cluster is one of the most important way to develop economy for developing countries. While the multinational corporations squeeze profit out of the local enterprises by buyer power, which would make local enterprises go bankrupt. The basic model of vertical relations in the clusters based on the model of double marginalization was established, set example of IT industrial clusters in Kunshan, and considered the oligopsony power and unequal powers of downstream and upstream marker were important reason of leading vertical squeeze. Decreasing the dependence on multinational corporations and enhancing the non-substituability are important tactic of avoiding excessive competition and vertical squeeze for local enterprises.

Study on forecasting models with CPFR-exponentially weighted quantile regression Ji, Shou-Feng (1); Huang, Ying-Jian (1); He, Jia-Qiang (1); Zhang, Chuan (1) 2011, 32 (7):  1053-1056.  DOI: - Abstract ( 495 )   HTML   PDF (1169KB) ( 799 )   Considering the high volatility and skewness of real sales series, the latest forecasting method in statistics, exponential weighted quantile regression, was applied to get higher forecast accuracy. The cost model for supply chain system based on CPFR was built, which includes the retailer's cost, the manufacturer's cost and the supply chain total cost. This model forecasts directly the quantile of the sales series, which not only avoids the forecast mistakes based on hypothesis of research at present, but also makes the forecast results approach the real results of the demand model. The numerical analysis illustrated that quantile regression forecast is better than traditional methods in the demand forecast by giving real examples. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The scatter-degree method of subjective information insertion type and its application Qi, Yu (1); Guo, Ya-Jun (1); Guo, Ying-Min (1) 2011, 32 (7):  1057-1060+1064.  DOI: - Abstract ( 334 )   HTML   PDF (1048KB) ( 1172 )   Due to the limitations of scatter-degree method, in order to make good use of subjective and objective information and emphasize its objectivity, justness and rationality in the evaluation process, a scatter-degree method of subjective information insertion type was proposed. Examples show that this method reflects the whole diversity between evaluated objects at its utmost, and can reflect experts' subjective judgments as well, so as to realize the effective integration of subjective and objective information. Finally through the comparative analysis with scatter-degree method and weighted scatter-degree method, it can be seen that the scatter-degree method of subjective information insertion type is an easy and effective evaluation method.
