    2020, 41 (2):  153-157.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2020.02.001
    Abstract ( 756 )   HTML   PDF (636KB) ( 931 )  
    A method of recognizing abnormal condition levels during heating and melting process of fused magnesium furnace utilizing multi-source information fusion is proposed. Current, image and sound signal features are extracted to be serialized and normalized under the premise of analyzing abnormal condition degrees during heating and melting process. Different features are selected according to the characteristics of various anomalies. The models for recognizing mild semi-melting and severe overheating conditions based on support vector machine, for moderate and severe semi-melting conditions based on rule reasoning, and for mild and moderate overheating conditions based on decision tree support vector machine, are established, respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively recognize the abnormal condition levels of semi-melting and overheating conditions.

    QU Lu-xuan, GUO Shang-hui, WANG Zhi-qiong, XIN Jun-chang
    2020, 41 (2):  158-162.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2020.02.002
    Abstract ( 685 )   HTML   PDF (433KB) ( 807 )  
    Among the methods for modeling gene regulation networks, Bayesian network model can intuitively express the regulatory relationship between genes. However, due to the high complexity of Bayesian network model in the structure learning, the efficiency of the gene regulation networks modeling is low and the scale of the reconstructed network is limited. Therefore, this paper proposed a method which is called the parent node screening-based Bayesian network(PS-BN). The PS-BN method combines the correlation model with Bayesian network model. Under the premise of making full use of the search strategy of structure learning in Bayesian network model, the parent node screening method is used to remove some redundant nodes, thus reducing the search space. The experimental results show that compared with the Bayesian network model, the PS-BN method greatly improves the efficiency of modeling gene regulatory networks while improving the accuracy.

    The coral reef algorithm has the disadvantages of being easy to fall into local optimum and low precision. In view of the shortcomings of coral reef algorithm, this paper proposes an improved coral reef algorithm. By referring to particle swarm optimization, Gaussian mutation and simulated annealing algorithm, this algorithm improves the broadcast spawning, asexual reproduction and setting(replacement)mechanisms of coral reef algorithm, which greatly improves the optimization precision of the algorithm and can jump out of the local optimum. In the simulation experiment, the improved coral reef algorithm is respectively compared with ten algorithms such as basic coral reef algorithm and particle swarm algorithm in high-dimensional and low-dimensional test functions. The experimental results show that the improved coral reef algorithm has better convergence rate and accuracy than other algorithms, which can still be maintained in the high-dimensional test functions.

    Abstract ( 693 )   HTML   PDF (632KB) ( 823 )  
    The dispatch of electric vehicle battery swapping station is usually optimized by swarm intelligence algorithms. However, the existing algorithms are easily trapped in local optimum and premature convergence. Thus, an improved grasshopper optimization algorithm(IGOA)is proposed to achieve optimal dispatch. In the IGOA, the boundary bounce strategy is adopted to improve the efficiency; the sine/cosine algorithm is introduced to enhance the global searching ability; the Lévy flight is applied to perturb the particles randomly to keep the algorithm from being trapped in local optimum; the nonlinear operation is used to accelerate the convergence rate at the later stage of the algorithm. The simulation results show that the IGOA outperforms GOA and several other swarm intelligence algorithms as to the optimal dispatch of electric vehicle battery swapping station.

    2020, 41 (2):  188-192.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2020.02.007
    Abstract ( 610 )   HTML   PDF (749KB) ( 628 )  
    Central aortic pressure wave(CAPW)can be reconstructed by different peripheral artery pressure waves(PAPW)non-invasively using blind system identification technology, but the selection of peripheral arteries remains a serious problem. In this paper, an aortic pressure wave reconstruction algorithm based on subspace method has been used. Radial pressure waves and dorsal pedal artery pressure waves are collected for reconstruction. The aortic pressure wave is reconstructed dynamically through four different combinations, and the results are assessed by dynamic time warping.The optimal combination of peripheral arterial waves is also determined.The results show that any combination of the dorsal and radial arteries pressure wave has no significant effect on the reconstruction of aortic pressure wave(P>0.5). However,the reconstruction cannot be achieved by only using the radial pressure waves or the dorsal pedal pressure waves.

    Abstract ( 927 )   HTML   PDF (787KB) ( 657 )  
    To predict preoperative lymphovascular invasion(LVI)status of breast cancer patients, a computer-aided analysis method which combines an active contour model and radiomics is proposed. First, the image from dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)of breast cancer is segmented by an active contour model(ACM)based on post probability and fuzzy velocity function. By constructing the region term of the active contour model based on post probability in the wavelet domain and the edge stop term of the active contour model by using the fuzzy velocity function, the accuracy of breast cancer lesion segmentation can be improved. Second, the image features such as morphology, grayscale and texture are extracted. Finally, a model for predicting LVI status is developed by the random forest classifier and its predictive ability is verified by experimental results.

    LI Yang, CHEN Chang-yong, QIN Guo-qing, JIANG Zhou-hua
    2020, 41 (2):  200-207.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2020.02.009
    Abstract ( 618 )   HTML   PDF (3823KB) ( 838 )  
    The effects of MgO and MgO-CaO refractories on inclusions in 55SiCr spring steel were studied in a MoSi2 furnace. The results indicate that both MgO and MgO-CaO crucibles can adjust the composition of the steel within the aiming range. Moreover, compared with MgO crucible, MgO-CaO crucible is more effective in purifying the molten steel, in which the contents of P, S, [Al]s and T.O in 55SiCr spring steel smelted by MgO-CaO crucible are reduced to 56×10-6, 10×10-6, ≤5×10-6 and 4×10-6, respectively. The average diameter of inclusions in steel decreases from 1.376μm to 1.222μm, and the ratio of the inclusions with the size <2μm increased from 79% to 89%. This is mainly because the MgO-CaO crucible has not only the functions of dephosphorization, desulfurization and deoxidization, but also CaO reacts with Al2O3 inclusions in steel to form hybrid inclusions with lower melting point, which is easier to float and remove, so that the molten steel is further purified.

    Abstract ( 767 )   HTML   PDF (1828KB) ( 785 )  
    Taking butt welding of dissimilar steel plates of Q345B and HG785D as the object, we studied the welding defects, mechanical properties and microstructures of the welded joint by metal active gas(MAG)arc welding under different heat input conditions. It is found that the strength of the welded joint can be improved effectively by reducing welding current in butt welding of dissimilar steel ends. When the joint is preheated before welding and slowly cool down after welding, the quenched hard area in the microstructure is reduced and the toughness of heat affected zone(HAZ)is increased. Under the heat input conditions of 140-200A welding current, 22-24V welding voltage and 28cm/min welding speed, the mechanical and bending properties of the welded joint can be optimized by the process of preheating and post-heat welding. The optimized welding process can inhibit the weld cracking effectively in crane frame.

    Abstract ( 712 )   HTML   PDF (1027KB) ( 840 )  
    To effectively utilize waste heat from blast furnace slag(BFS)and increase the additional value of slag, the BFS is granulated using the dry treatment(gas quenching) method. The effects of basicity and nozzle pressure on bead formation rate, mean diameter and particle size distribution of slag beads are studied. The results show that with the increases of basicity, the bead formation rate firstly increases up to the highest rate at the basicity of 1.2 and then decreases. The mean diameter firstly decreases and then increases with the basicity, especially, when the basicity is over 1.2. With the nozzle pressure increasing, the bead formation rate firstly increases, followed by a drop and then raise again. The bead formation rate reaches the highest value at the pressure of 0.2MPa. The mean diameter of the slag beads decreases gradually and the decreasing tendency slows down when the pressure is larger than 0.3MPa. The particle size distribution of slag beads mainly ranges in 1~2.5mm, satisfying the Gaussian distribution basically.

    Abstract ( 641 )   HTML   PDF (721KB) ( 876 )  
    In order to advance the efficiency for analyzing the reliability of complex mechanical structure, a new adaptive learning method(AK-MCS-K), which combines adaptive learning function VF with k-means clustering, is proposed. The AK-MCS-K method balances the precision of failure probability estimation and computational efficiency.

When evaluating the reliability of complex structures with time-consuming and implicit function, reducing iterations can effectively save time and improve computational efficiency. Compared with others, the AK-MCS-K method can reduce the number of iterations significantly with higher computational efficiency under the condition of satisfying the precision. Finally, the new method is used for analyzing the reliability of the motion accuracy of a simplified model of a rigid-flexible coupling artillery coordinator.

    2020, 41 (2):  229-234.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2020.02.014
    Abstract ( 694 )   HTML   PDF (475KB) ( 658 )  
    To analyze the reliability of complex mechanical structures more efficiently, an innovative adaptive analysis method is proposed based on the Kriging model and the relative error estimation of failure probability. The range of the number of actual failure samples in the region where the signs of samples are uncertain is derived using the normal distribution that approximates to the Poisson binomial distribution. The lower limit of the range is redefined by introducing a scale factor to ensure that the number of actual failure samples can accurately fall within the range. Then, a more accurate estimation of relative error of failure probability is provided. The adaptive design of experiments is implemented by the learning function U. Two examples are employed to verify the accuracy, generality and efficiency of the presented relative error estimation of failure probability and the adaptive analysis method. The results indicate that the as-introduced approach can not only accurately estimate the relative error of failure probability, but also significantly decrease the calls to performance function.

    A method for locating the damage of fiber-reinforced composites(FRCs) is studied, which is named as the ‘exponential approximation-lumped mass approach’. Firstly, a lumped mass model is established for a FRCs beam structure. Then, the stiffness matrix of the undamaged beam is obtained by theoretical calculation, and the residual force vector of the beam with damage is determined as the key locating index based on the measured natural frequencies and the regularized modal shape data. Furthermore, a criterion is proposed for approximating the position of damage, so that a set of standard procedures for the damage locating can be determined. Finally, a T300 carbon fiber/resin composite beam with different fiber breakage damages is studied as a case and it is found that the as-proposed damage locating approach can effectively identify the damage positions of the composite beam.

    Abstract ( 788 )   HTML   PDF (3602KB) ( 731 )  
    The surface grinding experiment of FeCoNiCrMo high-entropy alloy was conducted to analyze the grinding mechanism and influence of grinding parameters on the surface roughness and morphology of the alloy. The surface morphology of the specimens ground with different grinding wheels and the surface roughness of the specimens under dry and wet grinding conditions were investigated. The experiment results show that grinding FeCoNiCrMo follows the removal mechanism of plastic material. As the grinding speed increases and the feed rate and grinding depth decrease, the surface roughness of the specimens decreases and their surface morphology is smoother. The surface roughness of the specimens ground with the resin bond grinding wheel is lower and their surface morphology is better, compared with the ones ground with the electroplated grinding wheel. The surface roughness is significantly lower and the surface quality is better under the condition of wet grinding than that under the condition of dry grinding.

    Abstract ( 592 )   HTML   PDF (5278KB) ( 791 )  
    To study the grinding process performance of 2.5D Cf/SiC composites, single factor tests were designed and executed. The results show that grinding depth, wheel speed and feed speed have prominent influence on the processing performance evaluation parameters, including surface topography, surface roughness and grinding force. It also implies that the grinding depth is the maximal influence factor, while feed speed is the minimal one. Due to difference of supporting effects of the warp fiber and weft fiber, the defect forms on the machined surface are different. The mainly surface defects of 2.5D Cf/SiC contain interfacial debonding, crack, fiber outcrop and pullout. In addition, different grinding chips would be produced with different grinding parameters and fiber orientations. According to the experimental results, the grinding mechanism of 2.5D Cf/SiC was researched in detail, which supplies significantly technical support for investigation on the grinding theory of 2.5D Cf/SiC.

The adsorption kinetics of ammonia nitrogen of soil matches the Elovich equation and the double constant equation, and the isothermal adsorption complies with the characteristics of the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. Its bond energy constant KL is significantly correlated with the organic acid dissociation constant pKa, and the mechanism of LMWOA regulation of soil adsorption of ammonia nitrogen is mainly the activation of organic matters.

    Abstract ( 681 )   HTML   PDF (1421KB) ( 798 )  
    The fire behavior, ignition characteristics and smoke characteristics of XPS(extruded polystyrene) were studied experimentally with various distances and locations of the fire source under the mechanical ventilation velocities of 0, 0.6 and 1.2m/s. The experimental results showed that the flame spreading speed on the surface of XPS gradually increased and coking appeared earlier with the increase of wind speed. The XPS ignition time were nearly linearly related to the fire source distances under the same ventilation velocity and fire source location. The maximum ignition distance of XPS decreased from 0.2 m to 0.15 m with the increase of ventilation velocity from 0.6m/s to 1.2m/s when the fire source was perpendicular to the wall. In addition, the maximum temperature of smoke and the minimum variation of the concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide were obtained when the ventilation velocity reached to 0.6m/s. Therefore, the XPS burning rate increased first and then decreased with the growth of ventilation velocity. When the ventilation velocity was low, the increase of oxygen concentration promoted the XPS combustion. The thermal inhibitory influence of new air on the XPS combustion was enhanced significantly with the further increase of the ventilation velocity, thus the XPS combustion rate reduced.

    Optimization Decision for Retailer-Dominant Pre-sale Supply Chain Financing
    SUN Jing-ze, ZHUANG Xin-tian
    2020, 41 (2):  294-299.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2020.02.025
    Abstract ( 578 )   HTML   PDF (571KB) ( 828 )  
    Focusing on the phenomenon that retailers often face the shortage of capital in the supply chain, the optimization decision for retailer-dominant pre-sale supply chain financing was studied, based on the two typical financing modes of commercial loan and commercial buyback. Firstly, a model of three-level supply chain composed of a supplier, a dominant retailer and a bank was established. Secondly, the optimization decision and the optimal profit of supply chain members under the two modes were obtained. Finally, through numerical example calculation, the advantages and disadvantages of the two financing modes were compared from the perspective of banks, suppliers and retailers to gain corresponding managerial insights, which may provide scientific support for the optimization decision of supply chain members.

    Empirical Study on the Relationship and Influence Channel Between Stock Liquidity and Stock Price Crash Risk
    HOU Yu-ting, JIN Xiu
    2020, 41 (2):  300-304.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2020.02.026
    Abstract ( 669 )   HTML   PDF (362KB) ( 909 )  
    Based on Governance Theory and Short-termism theory, the fixed effect model was adopted to analyze the panel data of A-share non-financial listed companies from 2007 to 2016, study the relationship between stock liquidity and stock price crash risk, and further analyze the channel of stock liquidity affecting stock price crash risk. The results show that stock liquidity has a significantly positive correlation with crash risk, and proved that stock liquidity affects crash risk through the short-term institutional investor channel. The conclusions may provide valuable references for investors, listed companies and market regulators to understand stock price crash risk from a micro perspective.
