Regional Pole Assignment Robust PID Control Algorithm for DCDC Converter XIAN Yanhua， FENG Jiuchao 2013, 34 (10):  1369-1373.  DOI: - Abstract ( 355 )   HTML   PDF (412KB) ( 704 )   In order to improve the robustness of DCDC converters with disturbances and uncertainties， a robust PID control algorithm was proposed on the basis of the linear matrix inequality (LMI). The PID parameters were tuned by the regional pole assignment(RPA). Taking into account the controlled system robustness against disturbances， the H∞ control was combined with PID control， and solvability condition for the existence of H∞ PID controller was derived in the form of LMI. The designed controller is such that the closedloop system poles are assigned in a specific region in order to obtain anticipant dynamical characteristics， and the closedloop system has an H∞ disturbance attenuation upper bound. Further， the proposed design method can be applied to the DCDC converters with polytopic uncertain parameters. The simulation results of both certain model and uncertain model of buck converters demonstrated the validity and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Robust Tracking Algorithm Based on Multiple Appearance Models QI Yuanchen， WU Chengdong， CHEN Dongyue， YU Xiaosheng 2013, 34 (10):  1374-1377.  DOI: - Abstract ( 515 )   HTML   PDF (2164KB) ( 600 )   Based on multiple appearance models， a novel multiscale mean shift tracking algorithm was proposed to deal with the problems caused from the relative simplicity of the single appearance model and the absence of the update strategy under the original framework of mean shift tracking. Based on the multiple appearance models which can be obtained by using sparse principal component analysis， numerous converging points were located by running the basic mean shift trackers in parallel. The weighted center was calculated by setting the converging points as the candidate particles， and the best particle was chosen to determine the current state of the object. Experimental results showed that the proposed method was more robust and stable against pose variation， background clutter and occlusion in comparing with other competing tracking models.

To solve the problems， a nodes lightweight scheduling algorithm was proposed to prevent boundary contraction. The number of nodes in neighbor table and the number of neighbor nodes’ working neighbors were used to determine whether the node was in the network boundary. For those boundary and internal nodes， different scheduling strategies were used. The probability of nodes covered completely by n neighbors in the network boundary and the range of area fraction of the boundary node covered by n neighbors were calculated， respectively. The simulation results showed that the boundary contraction can be effectively alleviated and the network life cycle can be extended by using the proposed algorithm.

The representation of environmental model was simplified by eliminating obstacles in the environment which do not affect the result of path planning. In the process of environment modeling， the starting point and goal point of mobile robot and the reserved obstacles were used to establish the simplified visible graph in which the quantity of edges is small enough. The visible edges of simplified visible graph were the feasible paths for robot path planning. According to the environmental model established by the simplified visible graph， the efficiency of path planning algorithm was improved. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed approach is simple and effective. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Different research cooperation modes were reflected by the topologies of center and bordering of the network， and there is no strong correlation of the kcore of the network with the scientist’s hindex. The development of complex network and the positioning of our lab in the computerrelated field at the academic level were finally discussed. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Effects of Trace Ga on Microstructure and Specific Capacitance of Aluminum Foils Used for Capacitor Anodes ZUO Hong， LI Xinfang， LIU Chunming 2013, 34 (10):  1400-1403.  DOI: - Abstract ( 494 )   HTML   PDF (3603KB) ( 711 )   The cubic texture of the annealed high purity aluminum foils with trace Ga used for the anode of high voltage electrolytic capacitors was quantitatively characterized by Xray diffractometer (XRD). The microstructures of their hotrolled plates and final annealed foils were observed by optical microscope(OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The corrosion structures of the etched foils were quantitatively analyzed with image analysis software. Based on the above experiments the effects of the mass fraction of trace Ga on the microstructures and the corrosion structure as well as the specific capacitance were investigated. The results showed that with the mass fraction of Ga increasing from 05×10-6 to 116×10-6， the volume fraction of cubic texture in the foils decreased slightly， but the specific capacitance of the foils measured at 520V increased from 0662μF/cm2 to 0706μF/cm2. Further increasing the mass fraction of Ga to 214×10-6 did not affect the microstructure and the fraction of the cubic texture， but the specific capacitance dropped to 0693μF/cm2. Adding trace Ga promoted the electrochemical pitting and resulted in the enlargement of the specific surface area of the foil and the improvement of the specific capacitance. However when the mass fraction of Ga was higher than 116×10-6， obvious pit merging occurred， the specific surface area of the foil reduced and the specific capacitance decreased.

The microstructures of the steel bars after solidsolution and aging treatments were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The experimental results showed that the reasonable control of the contents of the strengthening elements increased the strength of the bar， and the appropriate remelting rate in vacuum consumable electrode also effectively improved the macrostructure quality and the strength of the bar.

The molar fractions of Ce and Sm are 0， 2%， 5% and 10%， respectively. Cyclic voltammetry and optical properties were studied using the electrochemical workstation and ultraviolet visible spectroscopy. The results showed that the film had the largest peak current and strongest ion storage capacity when Ce and Sm doping content was 2%， the injection charge density was up to 1512mC·cm-2and K value was 07. When the contents of Ce and Sm increased to 5% and 10%， the peak current decreased and the charge storage ability reduced with the increase contents of Ce and Sm. The colored state of TiO2 films doped Ce and Sm was pretty shallow. Transmittance was more than 90% in both the colored state and bleached state. Therefore TiO2 films doped Ce and Sm had good transparency in the visible light range and would be used as ion storage materials in the electrochromic glass. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Effect of Annealing Modes on Microstructure and Properties of Boron Containing ColdRolled DeepDrawing Enamel Steel DONG Futao， DU Linxiu， LIU Xianghua， XUE Fei 2013, 34 (10):  1412-1415.  DOI: - Abstract ( 485 )   HTML   PDF (2838KB) ( 653 )   The effect of two annealing modes (batch annealing and rapid continuous annealing) on the microstructure， mechanical properties and fishscale resistance of boron containing enamel steel was investigated. The results showed that appropriately increasing the mass fraction of Mn， S and adding trace boron， both the tested steel sheets under the two annealing modes had good properties. The strength of the continuous annealed sheet was slightly higher， and the elongation A50 and rmvalues of the continuous annealed sheet were apparently higher than that of the batch annealed sheet. The continuous annealed sheet showed better comprehensive mechanical properties. The hydrogen diffusion rate in the continuous annealed sheet was much lower than that in the batch annealed sheet. This was mainly attributed to large amount of dispersed cementite particles precipitate within ferrite grains which can act as effective hydrogen traps in the ultrafast continuous annealing steels. The match of good mechanical properties with fishscale resistance of the boron contained enamel steel was realized through rapid continuous annealing process.

Effects of Oxide Scale on Industrial Atmosphere Corrosion of Low Carbon Steels HE Yongquan， SUN Bin， LIU Zhenyu， LI Jun 2013, 34 (10):  1416-1419.  DOI: - Abstract ( 462 )   HTML   PDF (1659KB) ( 894 )   Effects of the layerstructure oxide scale on the industrial atmosphere corrosion of hotrolled low carbon steels were investigated by wet/dry cyclic corrosion test. The corrosion weight gain， corrosion product structure and electrochemistry behavior of the specimens with the oxide scales were analyzed compared with that of the specimens without the oxide scales through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemistry methods. It was found that the corrosion rate of the samples with oxide scale was lower than that of the naked steel. Polarization curves indicated that the samples covered with oxide scale had a lower corrosion potential than that of the naked steel. Single phase layered structure oxide scales had a good corrosion resistance that kept the substrate steel from corrosion. The integrity of oxide scale was the crucial prerequisite that the oxide scale protect the substrate steel. If the oxide scale was broken， galvanic corrosion will happen between the iron oxide and the substrate steel at the location of defects. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Experiment Method to Simulate Internal Cracks and Its Healing Behavior of Rolled Pieces LIU Xianghua， AI Zhengrong， YU Hailiang 2013, 34 (10):  1420-1424.  DOI: - Abstract ( 459 )   HTML   PDF (3439KB) ( 662 )   A new experiment method called hole filling method was proposed to simulate the internal cracks inside rolled pieces. The healing behavior of internal cracks in a mild steel plate during rolling was studied by presetting internal cracks in a sample. The crack healing tests in the center and 1/3 height of the plate were carried out. The results showed that internal cracks heal completely at the reduction of more than 50%and the rolling temperature 1100℃. The crack in the center of the plate healed better than that at other places， and cooling slowly after rolling was good for healing. The mechanism of crack healing in the rolling processes was analyzed. During the rolling deformation， the compressive stress state provides the static condition for crack healing. When the plastic deformation went on， as the huge atoms move towards one direction， which provided the material supply condition for crack healing， the atoms on two sides of the crack are easy to find a stable location to form a crystal lattice， then the crack heal.

Rolling Force Model Considering Phase Transformation for Hot Strips During Finishing Process LI Weigang， CHEN Shuixuan， LIU Xianghua 2013, 34 (10):  1425-1429.  DOI: - Abstract ( 554 )   HTML   PDF (1003KB) ( 866 )   When phase transformation occurs during the finishing process for hot strips， the change regulations of the rolling temperature on the deformation resistance in the austenitic and ferrite are different， so the prediction error of traditional rolling force model is very significant， which impacts the control accuracy of rolling process parameters. To solve the problem， a rolling force model was developed considering phase transformation for finishing strips. First， a transformation volume fraction model in the form of cosine was established and the volume fractions of the ferrite and austenitic were calculated at the different rolling temperatures. Secondly， an effect formula of the rolling temperatures in weighting form on the deformation resistance was presented， which preferably simulated the deformation characteristics of the doublephase rolling. Finally， the proposed model was applied to the online calculation of Baosteel 1880mm HSM， the actual production showed that the proposed model significantly improved the rolling force prediction accuracy and rolling stability of the phase transformation strips such as nonoriented electrical steels in the finishing process.

The results showed that energy consumption increased 3596700tce in total from 1995 to 2010. The variety steel production contributed the biggest part of the steel industry energy consumption， accounting for 15750%. The energy consumption per ton of crude steel took second place on the contribution of the energy consumption， accounting for -5753%. The last effect part was energy structure， which only contributed for 003% of the energy consumption. Thus， it is a key method to realize energy conservation by decreasing the energy consumption per ton of crude steels. There was a drop of 40435kgce/t of the energy consumption per ton of crude steels from 1995 to 2010， among which 2937% and 7063% of the drop came from steel ratio coefficients and process energy consumption， respectively.

SelfSynchronous Theory of Novel NoSwing Vibrating Mechanism Driven by Two Motors LI He， LIU Dan， LI Ye， WEN Bangchun 2013, 34 (10):  1446-1450.  DOI: - Abstract ( 509 )   HTML   PDF (641KB) ( 533 )   The motion and stability conditions of selfsynchronization were studied for a novel noswing vibrating mechanism driven by two motors. The vibrating mechanism comprises an inner rigid frame and an outer rigid frame. The rotational centers of two eccentric rotors are in line with the inner rigid frame center of mass along a vertical axis. Therefore the moment generated by the inertial force of eccentric rotors to the vertical axis is zero， thus eliminating the swing of the vibrating mechanism. The differential motion equations of the vibrating mechanism were established by the Lagrange equation， and the dimensionless coupled motion equation of the eccentric rotors was obtained with the modified average small parameter method. The existence condition of zero solution for the dimensionless coupled motion equation of the eccentric rotors was used to achieve the condition to implement selfsynchronous motion of the vibrating mechanism， and the RouthHurwitz criterion was used to derive the stability conditions of selfsynchronous motion. The numerical simulations verify the correctness of the proposed theories. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of the model were done， and the influences of the material characteristic parameters on the material inner magnetic field and hysteresis characteristics were discussed. The results showed that the inner magnetic field radial distribution of giant magnetostrictive material (GMM) has obvious skin effect and hysteresis characteristics. Under the effects of conductivity and permittivity， the phenomenon of dualpeak is found in magnetic field distribution of GMM. Along with the radius direction of GMM， the hysteresis characteristics between excitation magnetic field and inner magnetic field gradually become weak， and the magnetic loss decreases. The skin effect of GMM decreases with the increase of compressive prestress. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The film structural and electrical properties were characterized by transmission electron microscopy， atomic force microscopy and currentvoltage measurements. The results indicate that the film surfaces are flat and smooth with average roughness of about 025nm. The data of Miller indices and interplanar spacings from the selected area electron diffraction are consistent with that from the XRD card of NiO or SnO2， and the hydrothermal mechanism also shows that nanoparticles are composed of microscale pn junctions of NiOSnO2. The nanoparticle films exhibit reproducible resistive switching with threshold voltage of about 1V and on/off ratio of 500. The currentvoltage measurements indicate that the conduction is governed by the Ohmic law for the low resistive state， while the high resistive state is dominated by the space charge limited conduction. The switching mechanism can be ascribed to the charge trapping/detrapping process induced by the applied threshold electrical field. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The experimental results showed that the activated carbon can promote the oxidative activity of thiobacillusferrooxidans in a certain concentration range. When the activated carbon concentration is less than 80g/L， it has a promoting effect on bacterial oxidative activity; when the concentration is 60~80g/L， the promoting effect is the biggest; when the concentration is larger than 100g/L， the growth of thiobacillusferrooxidans is completely inhibited. By researching the timevariation of ρ(Fe2+) and ρ(Fe3+) during the sterile control experiment， the results showed that the activated carbon has little effect of oxidation on Fe2+when the activated carbon concentration is less than 80g/L.

Damage and Failure Mechanism of Tunnels in Jointed Rock Mass MA Tianhui， ZHANG Wendong， XU Tao 2013, 34 (10):  1485-1489.  DOI: - Abstract ( 617 )   HTML   PDF (3077KB) ( 714 )   In consideration of the the variation of mesoscopic patterns of joints， the damage process of surrounding rock of an underground opening in jointed rock mass was numerically simulated， and the failure mechanism of surrounding rock was investigated. The effect of the dip angles of joints on the stability of surrounding rock was examined. The results showed that the tensile stress causes mainly the initiation and propagation of the cracks， and the propagation direction of the cracks is roughly normal to the joint surface. The tensile cracks normal to the joint surface are the dominant fracture behaviors around the opening in the rock model with a low joint dip angle， while， the joint sliding are the dominant in the model with a high joint dip angle. The dip angle of joint surfaces also affects the fragility of rock mass. With the initiation of microfracture before the rock failure， a lot of energy will be released as acoustic emission. By using microseismic monitoring technology to get the information of energy release， the collapses， roof falling， rock burst and other disasters can be possibly forecasted， thus the supporting measures could be taken in advance to keep staff and equipment safe.

The results showed that， with trolley horizontal stiffness decreasing， the structure natural period of vibration increased， and the horizontal and vertical displacements of the retractable roof track beam decreased， correspondingly. In addition， the trolley horizontal stiffness can influence the axial force of fixed roof and retractable roof bars， and it is more obvious on the fixed roof bars axial force. Therefore， the influence of the trolley horizontal stiffness should be considered in design and application of this kind of structure. References | Related Articles | Metrics

This method can predict the local bucking failure of landfill under complex boundary conditions and the failure caused by extremely big displacement of slope. And it should be more useful for the analysis of the stressstrain failure mechanism. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Evaluation on Activity of Ceramic Polishing Powder and Its Effect on Compressive Strength of Concrete CHENG Yunhong， HUANG Fei， LI Guanglu， QIN Zhisheng 2013, 34 (10):  1499-1503.  DOI: - Abstract ( 628 )   HTML   PDF (3876KB) ( 639 )   The activity of ceramic polishing powder was tested and evaluated by activity test. Taking ceramic polishing powder as supplementary cementing materials for concrete， the effects of the ceramic polishing powder on concrete compressive strength was studied. It is showed that the ceramic polishing powder possesses reaction activity， it can interact with Ca(OH)2， i. e.， secondary hydration reaction. The development trend of compressive strength of ceramic polishing powder concrete with age is similar to that of plain concrete. The concrete compressive strength at different ages declines with increasing mass fraction of cement replaced with ceramic polishing powder. If the mass fraction of replacement is not more than 30%， the strength grade of concrete can be at the level of C30 or C40. Finally， with the same mass fraction of replacement， the compressive strength of ceramic polishing powder concrete approximates to fly ash concrete at different ages.

Institutional Distance， Information Asymmetry and International M&A Performance:Empirical Evidence from Chinese Listed Companies DU Xiaojun， ZHU Yuanyuan 2013, 34 (10):  1504-1507.  DOI: - Abstract ( 506 )   HTML   PDF (410KB) ( 824 )   Based on the liability of foreignness theory and using the stepwise linear regression method， the key factors to influence the international merger and acquisition performance were studied using the examples of Chinese listed companies. The results showed that if enterprise heterogeneity and host country institutional quality etc.， are regarded as the control variables， there is an obvious negative correlation between the legal institutional distance and the international M&A performance， while the economic institutional distance and cultural distance could promote the international M&A performance. The population densities of acquirers can adjust the correlation between the institutional distance and the performance. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Effectiveness of Incentive Synergy in Knowledge Alliance SUN Xinbo， XIE Yuanrui， QIAN Yu 2013, 34 (10):  1508-1511.  DOI: - Abstract ( 529 )   HTML   PDF (313KB) ( 527 )   By exploring the links between balanced scorecard principle and knowledge alliance， a validity evaluation index system of incentive synergy was established on the basis of the balanced scorecard principle. According to the relevant index system， a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model was built to evaluate the validity of incentive synergy. The data from a knowledge alliance that composed of a college and a software development enterprise in Liaoning Province were obtained by questionnaire survey， and the weight of each index was determined by analytic hierarchy process. Finally， the effectiveness of incentive synergy was evaluated with the established fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Quantitative Analysis of Pharmacokinetic Parameters Using Clinical Lung Dynamic ContrastEnhanced MR Image ZHONG Yi， LI Zhiyong， HU Jiani， KANG Yan 2013, 34 (10):  1512-1516.  DOI: - Abstract ( 537 )   HTML   PDF (880KB) ( 574 )   Based on the dynamic contrastenhanced MRI (DCEMRI) data routinely acquired from a clinical lung， a new method called FCMB RR was proposed for quantitative analysis. This method was based on the reference region model (RR)， and combined with fuzzy Cmean (FCM) and BSpline curve fitting techniques. The proposed FCMB RR method not only solved the limitation of complex blood supply system， but also reduced the effect of noise on the quantitative analysis result. 5 patients with pathologically proven lung cancer were examined using the proposed FCMB RR method to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness. A significant difference (P<001) in Ktransbetween tumor tissue and normal tissue was found. It could be concluded that the proposed FCMB RR method could be used for quantitative analysis of typical clinical lung DCEMRI data， and the Ktrans information has reference value for treatment and assesses the lung cancer.

Affine Translation Surfaces in Minkowski 3DSpace YUAN Yuan， MA Longbiao， LIU Huili 2013, 34 (10):  1517-1519.  DOI: - Abstract ( 563 )   HTML   PDF (298KB) ( 643 )   Special surfaces in the Minkowski space were studied on the basis of the invariant theory and theory of differential equation. Some categories were presented by changing the partial differential equation into the ordinary differential equation to simplify the solving process. Affine translation Weingarten surfaces were studied under the pseudo orthogonal frame. The first and second fundamental forms， Gaussian curvature and mean curvature of the surfaces were obtained according to the basic principles of differential geometry. The classification theorems of those translation surfaces were given mainly by using the linear and square relationships between the Gaussian curvature and the mean curvature.
