    LIU Xin-rui, YANG Dong-sheng, LIU Shuang, HOU Xin-ming
    2016, 37 (6):  761-765.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.001
    Abstract ( 615 )   HTML   PDF (382KB) ( 826 )  
    The fuzzy H∞ controller design problem was studied for steam valve opening of multi-machine power systems which consisting of turbo-generators with mixed time-varying delays. The mixed time-varying delays include the interval retarded-type discrete delay, the neutral-type discrete delay and the time-varying distributed delays. Fuzzy models were established, and the controllers of the systems were designed. Linear matrix inequalities (LMIs)-based H∞ stability conditions were derived. Moreover, the results were expanded to different conditions of time-delay, including H stability condition with the fast time-varying distributed delays (i.e. the derivatives of distributed delay is larger than 1). Therefore, the obtained results are new and less conservative. Finally, simulation results for the steam value opening of three-machine infinite bus systems were provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed results.

    JIANG Xue-chen, WANG Da-zhi, NING Yi, LIU Xiao-qin
    2016, 37 (6):  765-769.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.002
    Abstract ( 598 )   HTML   PDF (233KB) ( 695 )  
    The expert system used in power system fault diagnosis has a long development cycle and can not diagnose the faults beyond experiences. A kind of fault diagnosis of power system was proposed based on model-based diagnosis and skyline query. The diagnosed system was decomposed into several independent subsystems based on the distribution of measurement points. By establishing system models considering the causality between the system failure output and system element, candidate diagnosis of each subsystem was inferred. The actual alarm information was introduced into diagnosis logic framework to identify the fault element from candidate diagnosis by using skyline query. Ready candidate diagnosis was obtained offline and candidate diagnostic was confirmed online based on the proposed method, which saved the time of diagnosis. Actual alarm information was introduced into diagnosis logic framework, which improved the efficiency of diagnosis. The simulation results show that the method can effectively reduce the complexity of time and space.

    XIAO Jun, ZHU Shi-peng, HUANG Hang, XIE Ya-nan
    2016, 37 (6):  770-774.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.003
    Abstract ( 2104 )   HTML   PDF (318KB) ( 2081 )  
    Harris corner points were adopted as tracking objects, and scale space was introduced into corner point detection in order to extract Harris corner points in feature scale. Then curvature was computed to filter out false corners and enhance adaptability to scale change. Optical flow method was adopted for the tracking algorithm based on image pyramid, in which the optical flow iteratively was computed. And the tracking algorithm based on the optical flow error was proposed. That is, the trajectory error in the same frame with different time flow was used to evaluate the tracking situation. In this way, tracking failure was avoided when the tracking object is hidden, disappears or textural features change. Experimental results of different video sequences show that the proposed optical flow tracking algorithm based on improved corner extraction and image pyramid has better tracking performances. The feature points could be filtered effectively that lead to tracking failure with the introduction of optical flow error method, and the object positions are estimated accurately.

    Abstract ( 754 )   HTML   PDF (288KB) ( 848 )  
    To solve the problem that the free-riding behavior of a node will seriously affect the download progress of the common node and the whole network performance in the BT network, a new economic model (TTEM) was proposed based on the tit-for-tat mechanism. According to the commodity trading and credit system in the social life, the economic model was presented that consisted of the node wealth, the file blocks pricing and the node overdraft. Finally, the TTEM was proposed by deploying the economic model on the tit-for-tat. Resources spread between nodes as a transaction in TTEM. Nodes were traded by the price of the file blocks, making the wealth of the node change, if the node’s wealth is greater than the overdraft. The simulation results show TTEM is able to reduce the impact which the free-rider nodes make on the BT network than the pure tit-for-tat mechanism under the similar propagation velocity of the file resources.

    2016, 37 (6):  785-789.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.006
    Abstract ( 637 )   HTML   PDF (703KB) ( 745 )  
    A Nb-Ti-Mo micro-alloyed ultra-high strength hot-rolled low carbon steel was treated by laser induced phase transformation hardening process, using IPG 4kW fiber laser. The effects of laser power and scanning speed on macroscopic morphology and mirco-hardness were investigated. The microstructure evolution in laser transformation zone was also discussed. The results showed that when the laser power increased or the scanning speed decreased, the width and depth of the laser transformation zone increased. Laser transformation zone can be characterized into three smaller zones in general: micro-melting zone (MZ), hardening zone (HZ) and transition zone (TZ). In this study, the microstructure in the MZ was ferrite, granular bainite and martensite, whereas the microstructure in the HZ was fully martensite, compared to the microstructure in the TZ which consisted of the relatively finer individual martensite and the structure mixed with ferrite and martensite. The average hardness of the HZ reached 320HV, which was 30% higher than that of the matrix. The wear resistance of the steel was significantly improved by 30% after the laser treatment.

    Abstract ( 746 )   HTML   PDF (485KB) ( 707 )  
    With respect to consecutive drainage, aggressive internal conditions and varying lining profile during production process in blast furnace hearth, a simple method is proposed for representing the lining profile by a set of lining profile vectors. It can convert the solving of a complicated inverse heat transfer problem with unknown geometries at a specified-temperature boundary into searching the optimal set of profile vectors in an optimization problem. Integrating numerical heat transfer theory and finite element method with genetic algorithm, an inverse problem oriented mathematical model has been developed, which can predict the lining profile of blast furnace hearth accurately. A testing example of elephant-foot erosion pattern on the basis of an intact ceramic cup synthetic hearth, is employed to examine the effectiveness, stability and accuracy of the model.

    2016, 37 (6):  795-799.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.008
    Abstract ( 561 )   HTML   PDF (638KB) ( 627 )  
    The Cu-based oxygen carriers were prepared by mechanical mixing method. The effects of reaction temperature, gas flow, the type and the fraction of inert carriers on the oxidation and reduction reactivity of Cu-based oxygen carriers were investigated in a fixed bed reactor. The results show that with the increasing of reaction temperature, the reduction reactivity decreases whereas the oxidation reactivity increases. However, when the gas flow increases, both oxidation and reduction reactivity increase. For the three kinds of oxygen carriers with different inert carriers, the oxidation reactivity is slight different, but the reduction reactivity has a striking contrast and the order of reduction reactivity is Cu/Mg>Cu/Zr>Cu/Si.Both oxidation and reduction reactivity increase with the increasing fraction of inert carriers.

    Abstract ( 588 )   HTML   PDF (544KB) ( 736 )  
    The charging system of COREX melter gasifier consists of one coal-gimbal distributor and eight DRI-flap distributors. As the DRI-flag distributor is a new type of distributor, few research is found to help to understand the charging process of DRI-flap distributor in depth. In this study, a mathematical model of charging process of the DRI-flag distributor was developed based on discrete element method and was used to investigate the effect of operating parameters during charging process. The relationship between the flap angle and radial position was obtained when studying the effect of flap angle on the landing position. After examing the formation process and internal segregation of the stock pile, the size segregation in the radial direction was revealed. Meanwhile, the distribution of ore and coke in the radial direction was given during their mixture charging process. These modeling results can guide us to adjust charging mode in COREX production field.

    Abstract ( 588 )   HTML   PDF (1116KB) ( 723 )  
    In this work, oxide pellet was prepared from boron-bearing iron concentrate. A new process that the boron-bearing iron concentrate was directly reduced and separated by shaft furnace and electric furnace smelting, respectively. The corresponding reduction and separation theories were discussed. The results showed that boron-bearing iron concentrate pelletization can fully meet the requirements of the gas-based shaft furnace direct reduction process. After boasting at 1200℃ for 20minutes, the compressive strength of the finished pellet is higher than 2500N. When the H2 to CO ratio is higher than 2/5 and the temperature is between 850℃ to 1000℃, the time for reducing 95% of the boron-bearing iron concentrate is between 10min to 60min and the expansion ratio is less than 15%. Boron and iron can be efficiently separated from DRI by electric furnace at 1500℃. The yields of both boron and iron can achieve up to 98%. The activity and the mass fraction of B2O3 in the slag can reach 89% and 21%, respectively, suggesting that this kind of slag can be used as high quality raw materials for the one-step boric acid production. The new process can efficiently separate and cleanly utilize boron-bearing iron concentrate.

    2016, 37 (6):  810-814.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.011
    Abstract ( 672 )   HTML   PDF (968KB) ( 725 )  
    Iron coke hot briquette (ICHB) is a new type carbon iron composite, which is beneficial for blast furnace to decrease the temperature of thermal reserve zone and reduce CO2 emission. In this paper, the effect of process parameters on the compressive strength of ICHB was investigated, associated with their functional mechanisms. The results showed that with the increase of iron ore addition ratio, the compressive strength of ICHB increased first and then decreased, which reached a higher value of 3490.89N with 15% iron ore addition. With increasing coal addition ratio, the compressive strength of ICHB increased, similar to the effect of hot briquetting temperature. When the hot briquetting temperature was 350℃, the compressive strength was up to 4305.50N. With the increase of carbonization temperature, the compressive strength of ICHB decreased first and then increased. However, the compressive strength increased first and then decreased with increasing carbonization time. Especially, when the carbonization time was 4h, the strength reached 3518.80N. Therefore, as the compressive strength is concerned, the reasonable preparation process parameters of ICHB are 10%~15% iron ore, 60%~70% bituminous coal, 300℃~350℃ hot briquetting temperature, 1000℃~1100℃ carbonization temperature and 2~4h carbonization time.

    2016, 37 (6):  815-819.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.012
    Abstract ( 704 )   HTML   PDF (874KB) ( 889 )  
    The Ni-Mo-Co alloy coating was prepared by pulse plating process. The effects of different electrodeposition conditions on the composition, apparent morphology and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of the Ni-Mo-Co coating were investigated. The results showed that with the increasing addition of cobalt salt, the cobalt content in the coating increased and the molybdenum content decreased. When the concentration of cobalt salt was up to 81 g/L, the content of elements became less changeable. Moreover, the Ni-Mo-Co coating appeared to be a uniform and dense layer and the corresponding HER overpotential decreased to the minimum value. With the Mo content of 40 wt%, the degree of amorphous structure and the catalytic activity (80℃,η200=56mV) of the Ni-Mo-Co coating increased with increasing of the Co content. After galvanostatic electrolysis, the bubble phenomenon happened, which indicated a poor stability.

    2016, 37 (6):  820-824.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.013
    Abstract ( 541 )   HTML   PDF (1603KB) ( 756 )  
    A three-dimensional mathematical model was developed to study the electromagnetic field in a round bloom continuous casting mould with electromagnetic stirring (M-EMS). The simulation results of electromagnetic field were validated by the measured data from the experiments. The effects of stirring current intensity and frequency on magnetic flux density and electromagnetic force were investigated, and the electromagnetic field characteristics were also discussed after applying eccentric M-EMS. The results show that both magnetic flux density and electromagnetic force increase with increasing current intensity. When the stirring current frequency increases, the magnetic flux density decreases and the electromagnetic force increases first and then decreases with the maxima at 2.5Hz. Under the conditions of eccentric M-EMS, the electromagnetic force still appears to be circumferential distribution on the planes transverse to the strand. However, the magnitudes of both magnetic flux density and electromagnetic force show asymmetrical distribution, which are much larger at the side near the external arc of the continuous caster.

    2016, 37 (6):  824-827.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.014
    Abstract ( 735 )   HTML   PDF (369KB) ( 766 )  
    Twenty novel N8 molecular structures with different shapes of ring, cage, ladder and etc are designed. Three high-precision quantum chemistry methods are used to optimize these structures and six thermodynamic stable molecular configurations have been screened out from them. Then the reliable theoretical predictions of their structural, electronic and explosive properties are performed to obtain the optimal structural parameters, energy, density, heat of formation and detonation velocity and pressure. The results show that a planar double five-membered cyclic structure has the most thermal stability among the six N8 isomers because it has the lowest molecular tension, the minimum total energy and the maximum HOMO-LUMO energy gap. Moreover, the double five-membered cyclic and cubic structures possess the minimum and maximum heat of formation, respectively. It is also found that the theoretical values of detonation velocity and pressure of these six N8 molecules are greater than those of the hexogen and octogen, which are well-known explosives. Therefore, the six N8 molecules can be considered as potential excellent pollution-free candidates for high energetic materials.

    Abstract ( 668 )   HTML   PDF (540KB) ( 982 )  
    Through analyzing the material movement process of the self-synchronization vibration conveyer for dual-mass based on the material slippage theory, the movement of conveyer and material stationary response were obtained on the basis of subsection establishing and solving the dynamic differential equation. The influence of conveyer frequency, material mass, friction coefficient and vibrating direction angle on the speed and displacement of material movement were discussed by numeric analysis, then the results were verified by the numerical simulation. The result shows that there exists linear relation between slip acceleration of material and vibration conveyer in single horizontal direction. The material mass has no effect on material movement. The material transportation speed and displacement of reverse slide will increase with decreasing of the conveyer frequency. As the friction coefficient increases, the material transportation displacement, time of reverse slide and average speed will increase. The material transportation displacement, time of forward slide and average speed increase along with the vibrating direction angle increasing.

    2016, 37 (6):  834-838.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.016
    Abstract ( 587 )   HTML   PDF (985KB) ( 816 )  
    Aero-engine is increasingly to face the trend of higher load, efficiency and reliability, so that multi-field coupling problems are taken more and more attention. This research took the semal system of an aero-engine compressor as the research object, 3D flow field in the single sector and structural models were established by the method of cyclic symmetric. Considering the influence of former stator wakes, compressor flow field was simulated. Based on the Kriging model, load transfer of aerodynamic pressure and temperature achieved from flow field to blade structure. Then the coupling effects of aerodynamic pressure, temperature and centrifugal stress on compressor fatigue life were discussed. The results show that the load transfer with the Kriging model can meet the requirement of multi-field coupling dynamic calculation. In the low pressure compressor, centrifugal force plays a major role on deformation and stress of semal system, and bending stress induced by aerodynamic pressure and temperature can counteract part of bending stress induced by centrifugal force. However, temperature load makes the maximal deformation of blade-disc system increase.

    JIANG Tao, FU Zhi-yi, WANG An-lin
    2016, 37 (6):  845-850.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.018
    Abstract ( 657 )   HTML   PDF (614KB) ( 697 )  
    Aiming at characterizing the load of earthmoving machinery under non-stationary random cyclic conditions for design and tests of its components, a parameterized model was proposed. In order to study the multi-way valve in the hydraulic excavator, the outlet pressure at valve port was decomposed into random term and trend term by wavelet transform. The stationary random term was described by “random term function” using the estimation of power spectral density, and the non-stationary trend term was expressed by “trend term function” using the function to fit with condition-variables. Then the two functions were combined to generate “cyclic condition load function”. Comparisons between simulated and test data prove that this function can accurately reconstruct random character in multi-way valve under non-stationary random cyclic conditions. The results also indicate that the modeling method will be an applicative reference for realizing the parametric expression of non-stationary random load with cyclic features in engineering application.

    Abstract ( 888 )   HTML   PDF (946KB) ( 1052 )  
    A new static aeroelastic analysis method for the HAWT was proposed based on the modified blade element momentum (BEM) theory. The deformation curves of the blade under different steady wind speeds were analyzed. The prebending design principles and a profile design method were developed. The static aeroelastic analyzing result of the prebending and unprebending blade shows that, the aerodynamic performance is influenced by the cross section shape change, blade axial and torsional deformation. The prebending blade’s actual power has certain decrease because of the blade torsional deformation. This study provides theoretical basis and design method for the blade.

    LIU Hua, GONG Lu-yuan, SHEN Sheng-qiang, CHEN Xue
    2016, 37 (6):  856-860.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.020
    Abstract ( 612 )   HTML   PDF (825KB) ( 664 )  
    To investigate the two-phase flow characteristics under the interaction of liquid and gas over horizontal tubes, the rotated-square arranged tube bank was chosen and the VOF method was employed to propose an intertube droplet model. The thickness of liquid film and the droplet diameter was initialized according to the void fraction. The steam flowing process under the interaction of liquid film and droplet was simulated. The analyses of velocity field and pressure field were also illustrated. The results indicate that the calculated value of pressure drop coincides well with the experimental data at the small spray density. In the computational zone, the pressure in the bottom area is higher than that in upper area, and the minimum pressure distribution is in the lower right side near the droplet. The deformation of the liquid droplet in falling process is caused by the uneven distribution of pressure.

    Effects of Triton X-100 on Oxidative Activity of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and on Chalcopyrite Bioleaching
    ZHANG Rui-yang, WEI De-zhou, LIU Wen-gang, GAO Shu-ling
    2016, 37 (6):  861-865.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.021
    Abstract ( 674 )   HTML   PDF (923KB) ( 728 )  
    Triton X-100 was used to improve the bioleaching of chalcopyrite with Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, and its effects on ferrous and sulfur oxidative activities of At.ferrooxidans and bioleaching of chalcopyrite were investigated. Chalcopyrite after bioleaching was characterized by XRD. Results showed that the addition of Triton X-100 has little negative effect on ferrous-oxidizing activity of At.ferrooxidans, but it is favorable for that of sulfur. The copper extraction yield of chalcopyrite with 30mg·L-1 Triton X-100 increases by 52.15 % compared with the bioleaching without Triton X-100. The elemental sulfur produced during bioleaching of chalcopyrite is efficiently bio-oxidized and dissolved by At.ferrooxidans in the presence of Triton X-100, consequently increasing concentrations of the bacteria and ferric ion in bioleaching system, thus enhancing the oxidation and dissolution of chalcopyrite.

    Effects of Particle Size Distribution on Hematite Flotation
    LI Dong, YIN Wan-zhong, MA Ying-qiang, YAO Jin
    2016, 37 (6):  865-868.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.022
    Abstract ( 667 )   HTML   PDF (455KB) ( 786 )  
    Effects of the content of fine fractions (< 18μm) on hematite flotation were studied by using flotation tests, extended DLVO (EDLVO) theoretical calculations and kinetics of particle aggregation. The flotation results indicate that hematite recovery is related with the size of coarse particle (> 18μm) and particle size distribution. When the size of coarse particle is relatively large, the recovery of hematite is high. EDLVO theoretical calculations confirm that the fine particles could interface with the coarse particles and the attraction energy increases with the coarse particle size increasing. The flotation recovery increases with the particle size distribution becoming balance (the fine fractions equals the coarse fractions), and the rate of particle coagulation is relatively high in this case which is analyzed by kinetics of particle aggregation. These conclusions could explain why the recovery of hematite is influenced by particle size distribution.

    ZHU Zhong-hua, WANG Li-guan, TU Xiao-teng, BI Lin
    2016, 37 (6):  869-874.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.023
    Abstract ( 638 )   HTML   PDF (1216KB) ( 717 )  
    In order to accurately grasp the flow characteristics of ore and rock of block caving, a new method that combining attribute block model with stochastic medium theory was proposed. The procedure of simulation flow is as follows: attribute block model was established to fit and discretize target region. Block attributes were obtained by attribute interpolation technique. A proper flow model for programming was established. The concept of draw-out index and block index was put forward to analyze the flow characteristics of the rock under different oredraw conditions. Flow simulation was realized based on the proposed method in 3D visualization platform with C++ language. The results show that with the draw height increasing, the length of the long axis of the draw out body increases linearly, and the length of the short axis and the eccentricity increase gradually, showing a power exponential relationship. Under constant block index, with the increase of draw-out index, the ellipsoid of the ore body is gradually developed, the eccentricity ratio is increased, and the average depth of the depression increases. Under constant draw-out index, with the increase of block index, the eccentricity of the ellipsoid is decreased.

    Abstract ( 572 )   HTML   PDF (248KB) ( 677 )  
    In order to get the optimum parameters of flocculating sedimentation, back propagation neural network and genetic algorithm were applied to establish the flocculation sedimentation parameters prediction model of the crude tailings. The flocculating agent and tailings concentration consumption were used as the input data and the sedimentation speed was confirmed to be the output data. The learning and training samples were received by the orthogonal experiments to build neural network prediction model. Then, the optimum parameters of flocculating sedimentation were received after using genetic algorithm finding optimal in parameters prediction model of the crude tailings. The selected parameters prediction model was used in Hemushan iron mine. The results showed that the flocculating agent consumption is 12g/t and tailings concentration is 17%, the sedimentation speed is 1.31m/h, these parameters meet the production requirements. The flocculating agent consumption required is 20% less than the original production when using these flocculating sedimentation parameters. The application of the model indicates that it provides a new method to optimize the flocculating sedimentation parameters with a good effect.

    The problem of environmental estrogens caused wide spread concern in natural water, using low pressure mercury lamps activated sodium persulfate (PS) composite system to degrade 17β-estradiol (E2)of residual in the water which is a typical environmental estrogens. The effect of different initial pH, sodium persulfate concentration, common anions(Cl-,HCO-3,NO-3) on degradation of E2 and the mechanism of reaction kinetics were investigated. The results showed that the degradation of E2 by UV/PS system follows pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the optimum pH is 7.0, the removal of E2 increases with adding the sodium persulfate concentration, the environmental anion may promote the degradation of E2. It is demonstrated that the principal free radical is·SO-4 in the system. This study provides a strong theoretical basis for UV/PS advanced oxidation degradation of environmental estrogen.

    In the design of highway, the simplified bishop algorithm is used to analyze the body stability of the embankment itself and the overall stability both embankment and foundation according to the requirements of specification generally. It is used to determine the most dangerous slope sliding surface and the corresponding minimum factor of safety. The enumeration algorithm frequently adopted in engineering practice requires a given hunting zone and its computation speed is slow. Traditional optimization algorithm such as step-acceleration method results in local extremum and other shortcoming easily. Based on particle swarm optimization (PSO), a method combining simplex method and particle swarm optimization (SM-PSO) is put forward. And it is proved that it has obvious improvement in convergence speed and adaptability when comparing with PSO algorithm in optimization efficiency and optimization performance.

    LI Yi, ZHANG Shuang
    2016, 37 (6):  895-899.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.028
    Abstract ( 679 )   HTML   PDF (790KB) ( 853 )  
    The dry-wet cycle method is adopted to study sulfate resistance of standard cubic plain concrete and hybrid fiber concrete specimens (150mm×150mm×150mm). The anti-sulfate corrosion performance is tested at the erosion age of 0, 30, 60, 90, 180, 210 days with sodium sulfate erosion solution concentrations of 800 and 6000mg/L. The results show that when the erosion age is 210 days, corresponding to concentrations of 800 and 6000mg/L, compressive strength of plain concrete decreases by 5.6% and 10.0% and splitting tensile strength decreases by 3.0% and 5.1% respectively. Compressive strength of hybrid fiber concrete decreases by 4.0% and 6.3% and splitting tensile strength decreases by 0.51% and 3.8% respectively. When erosion depth comes to 1.5mm, SO2-4 concentrations of plain concrete are 0.83% and 1.03%, while hybrid fiber concrete are 0.79% and 1.0% respectively.

    2016, 37 (6):  899-903.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.029
    Abstract ( 902 )   HTML   PDF (1723KB) ( 796 )  
    Considering two factors of the polystyrene particle content and wet density, 25 groups of foamed particles concrete with different proportions were prepared. The strain rate effect is not obvious by studying the loading speed on stress-strain curve of foamed particles concrete. The effect of different polystyrene particles content and different wet density on stress-strain curve of foamed particles concrete was also studied. The results show that the influence of polystyrene particles content and wet density on mechanical properties was obvious. Through the analysis of modulus of elasticity, crushing stress, crushing strain and other parameters, combining with test results, a phenomenological uniaxial compressive constitutive model of foamed particles concrete is established. Comparing test results with modeling predictions, good agreements are obtained between the phenomenological constitutive model and test results.

    2016, 37 (6):  904-908.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.030
    Abstract ( 568 )   HTML   PDF (152KB) ( 754 )  
    Service elements configuration is an important link of service design. How to consider customer choice behavior so as to optimize the service elements configuration is an important issue which needs to be concerned. An optimization configuration method for service elements considering customer choice behavior was proposed in order to solve the service elements optimization configuration problem. Firstly, the aspiration level for each service item and the demand satisfaction degree for each service element were obtained by questionnaire survey among target customers. Then, target customers’ psychological perception of elation and disappointment was described by constructing the utility function. Furthermore, the customer choice behavior model for service product was established to calculate the probability of target customer group choosing the service product. Moreover, the optimal service elements configuration alternative was determined by establishing and solving the optimization model. Finally, the feasibility and validity of proposed method are illustrated by an example.

    Study on Non-insulated Superconducting Magnet Coils and Performance Testing
    BAI Zhi-ming, CHEN Chuan, ZU Wei-zhen, ZHANG Hua-rong
    2016, 37 (6):  908-912.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2016.06.031
    Abstract ( 803 )   HTML   PDF (384KB) ( 878 )  
    The structure of superconducting magnet coils without turn-to-turn insulation was analyzed, and the effects of total number of layers and the turns for each layer on the equivalent total resistance and charge-discharge process of the coils were tested. The experimental results show that the variation trend of the equivalent total resistance is completely different when the total layer number is odd or even, but the order of magnitude is several multiples of the contact resistance between adjacent turns. The charge-discharge process of coils is directly affected by the equivalent total resistance. If the total resistance is greater, the excitation time will be shorter, but the induced voltage will be also larger, and the Joule heat will be increased. Therefore, the appropriate choice of equivalent total resistance and no insulation filling material are particularly important for the design of non-insulated superconducting magnet coils.
