Temperature Sensor with Photonic Crystal Fiber Filled with Ethanol as Probe GAO Peng， ZHAO Yong， LI Jin 2015, 36 (10):  1369-1373.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1005-3026.2015.10.001 Abstract ( 727 )   HTML   PDF (470KB) ( 995 )   A high birefringence photonic crystal fiber(HiBi-PCF) loop mirror structure was proposed with a reflective independent probe， in which the thermo-optic effect of ethanol was used to modulate linearly photonic crystal fiber birefringence. The Sagnac interference optical path difference was changed by the birefringence variations， resulting in the linearly changes of spectral intensity in a certain temperature region. Based on the above principle， high sensitive temperature measurement could be implemented. The structure improves the shortcoming of the traditional ring inner structure affected by external disturbance， and makes it possible to build a distributed sensing system in practical application. The experimental results showed that the refractive index of ethanol changes versus the measured temperature linearly with the sensitivity of 4.45e-4/℃. The birefringence change rule of ethanol-filled HiBi-PCF with temperature was also indicated with the sensitivity of 0.015625/℃. In addition， the change rule of output light intensity with temperature between 20~40℃ was tested with the sensitivity of 0.0031mW/℃. The formation mechanism of interference spectrum was demonstrated by using the Jones matrix theory， with the interference spectrum equation obtained. References | Related Articles | Metrics

To effectively predict the epileptic seizure， an epileptic seizure prediction method based on multivariate Hilbert frequency domain model was proposed. Hilbert marginal spectrum， Hilbert weighted frequency and Hilbert marginal spectrum change direction were composed to a three dimensional feature vector as multivariate Hilbert frequency domain model， and then put it into support vector machine (SVM) to prediction epileptic seizure. The epileptic seizure prediction method was used to assess the prediction results. Experimental results showed that when the multivariate Hilbert frequency domain model was used to predict epileptic seizure for δ rhythm and θ rhythm， the seizure prediction horizon was 30~45minutes， so that patients could have enough time to take measures to deal with seizures. The seizure occurrence period was 5~10minutes， thus， the waiting time was shortened and the anxiety of patient was reduced. Compared with a variety of relevant methods， this method has lower false prediction rate and higher prediction sensitivity. References | Related Articles | Metrics

However， the present spatial preference queries cannot be used in the location-based services for group users. To solve this problem， a novel type of spatial preference query， namely， Top-k spatial preference query for group nearest neighbor (TSPG) was proposed， which retrieves the k λ-subsets with the highest score through finding λ-subsets group nearest neighbors of the feature objects. Two algorithms， namely， TSPQ-G and TSPQ-G* were designed for efficient query processing. Based on the TSPQ-G， the TSPQ-G* was developed by performing spatial pruning strategies and efficient traversal strategies of feature objects index， which effectively reduces I/O cost and improves query efficiency. Experimental results on several datasets demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms for different setups. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The space-time evolution characteristics of water-induced cracks inside mudrock， including the original fracturing effect， netty extension behavior， spatial nonuniformity distribution and active period of reaction， were exposed dynamically by CTS. The water-weakening process of the mudrock meso-structure can be divided into the following steps: firstly， inherent micro fractures provide the initial path for water to invade into unloaded mudrock; then the incursive water induces the volume increase of clay minerals and ion solution of carbonate through physical and chemical reactions; finally， the adverse mechanical impact derived from the volume expansion and solution of carbonate leads to the propagation and connection of cracks.

The cumulative frequencies of each attribute of contrasting samples， the K-S statistical quantity and the K-S critical values were calculated to validate the significant difference between the comparative samples， based on which， the structural homogeneity of fractured rock mass was divided. This method was used to analyze the effect of the trace length on statistically homogeneity division in the fractured rock mass at two adjacent adits in different weathered zone at the Maji dam site on the left bank of the Nu River in Yunnan province. It was calculated that the rock mass at two adjacent adits shows statistical similarity in the lower limit of weak weathering， slightly weathering and fresh rock zones，and can be divided into statistically homogeneous areas， however it shows no statistical similarity in the upper limit of weak weathering. The rock mass at a single adit shows no statistical similarity in the every division of weathering. In addition， the proposed method can be applied to identify the dividing of joint samples with small sizes. References | Related Articles | Metrics

A reasonable material thermal performance and thermal-mechanical coupled constitutive relation were adopted in the 3D finite element model by ABAQUS to analyze the performance of reinforced concrete beams. Temperature field and deformation results agree well with the test results. Based on experiment verifications， the effects of protective layer thickness and the load level on the fire resistance of concrete beams were studied by using finite element parametric analysis. Results showed that the thicker the concrete cover is， the slower the temperature rise of tensile reinforcement is， and the smaller the deflection of speciment is， which means that the fire resistance of reinforced concrete beam is longer. Correspondingly， the fire resistance gets shorter when load level is increased. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Nonlinear Dynamic Characteristics of Air-Leg Rock Drill Piston HUANG Jing， ZHU Li-sha， ZHANG Yi-min 2015, 36 (10):  1487-1490.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1005-3026.2015.10.026 Abstract ( 527 )   HTML   PDF (566KB) ( 661 )   Taking a piston of air-leg rock drill as the research object， a finite element analysis model of the impact system including the piston and drill rod was set up based on the actual conditions. Its nonlinear dynamic characteristics were analyzed using the ANSYS/LS-DYNA software. Therefore， the stresses and strains of the impact system at different time were obtained. The results showed that there are minor deviations between the calculated and experimental results. The maximum stress， which is greater than the fatigue limit and less than the yield limit， appears at the impacting face. The spline root of the piston with strong stress is also a weak link. The failure form of the piston is the contact fatigue of the end face or fatigue fractures of the spline root， which coincides well with the actual situation and provides a scientific basis for reliability design of the piston.

Effect of Grinding Fluid Parameters on Microstructure Damage of Grinding Hardening Surface ZHANG Xiu-ming， XIU Shi-chao， WANG Yu-shi 2015, 36 (10):  1491-1495.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1005-3026.2015.10.027 Abstract ( 571 )   HTML   PDF (714KB) ( 730 )   Aiming at the grinding fluids influence on grinding forces and grinding temperature field in the grinding hardening process， a simulation model of non-quenched and tempered 45 steel was established to analyze the influence of different grinding fluid parameters on the grinding workpiece surface hardness and residual stress. At last， the workpiece surface hardness and its surface integrity after plane grinding hardening experiment by changing the grinding fluid parameters were studied. The results showed that the surface microstructure damage has a closest connection to the grinding depth. Adding a certain amount of grinding fluid can effectively reduce the surface microstructure damage， but it seriously weakens the effect of using grinding heat to strengthen the workpiece surface.

Temperature Field of Hot Rolling Work-Roll for Aluminum Sheet GAO Shan-feng， XI An-min， LIU Hong-fei， WANG Chao 2015, 36 (10):  1496-1500.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1005-3026.2015.10.028 Abstract ( 670 )   HTML   PDF (873KB) ( 721 )   Upon the different heat transfer conditions experienced in a revolution， the coordinates of the circumferential direction of work-roll were converted to time coordinate， and the corresponding boundary conditions were added. These methods can make the results close to the thermal behavior of actual rolling. After analyzing the temperature field of work-roll， it shows that the temperature in the depth of 10~ 19mm increases slowly， while keeps constant in the depth over 19mm， as well as nearly axial symmetrical distribution in the depth of 2~ 10mm. It can quickly reach dynamic stability after drastically changing in less than 2mm depth namely about 1% area. Rolling speed of the work-roll has little effect on the temperature in the depth of greater than 2mm. When the rolling rhythm is less than 0.5， reducing it will have little influence on the temperature of the work-roll. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Scheduling Multiple Orders per Job with Various Constraints ZHOU Bing-hai， WANG Teng， FANG Teng 2015, 36 (10):  1506-1511.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1005-3026.2015.10.030 Abstract ( 494 )   HTML   PDF (451KB) ( 634 )   Taking a comprehensive consideration of the characteristics of multiple product types， the past-sequence-dependent (p-s-d) setup time and the deterioration effects constraints in processes of wafer fabrication， with an objective function of minimizing total weighted earliness-tardiness penalties cost， a mathematical programming model of scheduling multiple orders per job (MOJ) in a single machine was built. On this basis， the decision-making variables were separated， and a modified genetic algorithm-ant colony optimization (MGA-ACO) algorithm adopting two-level encoding mechanism was put forward. Genetic algorithm was converged to the process of dynamic and adaptive ant colony iterations. To improve the algorithm convergence performance， a modified rule of apparent tardiness cost with setups (ATCS) was applied. Finally， the simulation results indicated that the developed algorithm is valid and feasible. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Pricing Strategy of Multi-channel Supply Chain with Retailer’s Capital Constraint LI Kai，CHEN Wei-hua 2015, 36 (10):  1511-1515.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1005-3026.2015.10.031 Abstract ( 673 )   HTML   PDF (519KB) ( 815 )   A pricing strategy of multi-channels supply chain model was studied with many retailers and capital constraint. According to the difference of retailer’s capital condition， the relationship between supply chain upstream and downstream was analyzed by using the Stackelberg and Bertrand game theory. The pricing decision-making strategies of the manufacturer and the retailers were given， and the supply chain member’s performances were analyzed under the different pricing decision-making strategies.The results showed that the manufacturer can get the highest profit and the retailer can get a lower profit under sufficient funds condition.Comparing with the loan-payment strategy， the manufacturer and the retailers can both gain more profit by the deferred-payment strategy under insufficient funds condition. The deferred-payment strategy is the best decision-making for the supply chain channel under capital constraint. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Topology Property and Industry Dominance in Weighted Network for China’s Stock Market JIN Xiu， JIANG Chao， MENG Ting-ting，ZHUANG Xiao-wei 2015, 36 (10):  1516-1520.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1005-3026.2015.10.032 Abstract ( 736 )   HTML   PDF (647KB) ( 737 )   The minimum spanning tree was constructed by using the clustering algorithm， which was used to study the topological structure of various industries. Based on the weighted network model， a dynamic weighted network model considering the characteristic of time variation was developed. Taking the SSE 180 index as sample， the market dominance of the Chinese stock market was studied. The empirical results showed that the Chinese stock market has notable aggregation， and the same industry stocks have similar characteristics. The finance/insurance and the manufacturing industry are relatively more active， and the prices of others are more susceptible to these two industries. The leading industry in the stock market will change with the time， and the emerging industry gradually dominates the overall industry. References | Related Articles | Metrics
