Nonparametric estimation of some quantities of interest from renewal theory

In this paper, confidence intervals are given for two quantities of importance related to renewal processes. For each quantity, two confidence intervals are discussed. One confidence interval is given for general, all‐purpose use. Another confidence interval is given which is easier to compute, but not of general use. The case where data are subject to right censorship is also considered. Some numerical comparisons are made. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 50: 638–649, 2003.     

Ballistic impact properties of woven bamboo- woven E-glass- unsaturated polyester hybrid composites

In this study, a laminated woven bamboo/woven E glass/unsaturated polyester composite is developed to combat a ballistic impact from bullet under shooting test. The aim of this study is to understand the fundamental effects of the woven bamboo arrangement towards increasing ballistic resistance properties. The work focusses on the ballistic limit test known as NIJ V50, which qualifies materials to be registered for use in combat armor panels. The results show that the composites withstood 482.5 m/s ± 5 limit of bullet velocity, satisfying the NIJ test at level II. The findings give a strong sound basis decision to engineers whether or not green composites are qualified to replace synthetic composites in certain engineering applications.

Schedule design for liner services under vessel speed reduction incentive programs

Gas and particulate emissions from ship transportation have been increasing in recent years. In order to mitigate ship emissions near coastal areas, voluntary vessel speed reduction incentive programs (VSRIPs) were put in place by a number of ports. This paper studies a schedule design problem faced by liner shipping companies under VSRIPs. It proposes a mixed-integer nonlinear mathematical model for the minimization of the total cost, consisting of fuel cost, as well as operating cost, minus dockage refunds. The model balances three determinants, that is, the compliance of VSRIPs, the speed limit (the maximum physical speed of ships and the upper speed limit imposed by VSRIPs), and the limited number of ships. An enumerative algorithm and a piecewise-linear approximation algorithm are developed, based on some properties of the nonlinear model. The efficiency of the proposed algorithms is validated through extensive computational experiments.     

一种高阶累积量的模态参数辨识方法改进及其应用

高阶累积量的模态参数辨识方法能够消除高斯噪声的影响。但基于传统的高阶累积量降阶方法的子空间模态参数辨识方法具有一定的缺陷。为此,提出2种降阶方法用于高阶累积量的子空间模态参数辨识方法,并对这2种方法进行了比较。利用主切片方法对某变截面轴进行了模态参数识别,获得了与有限元法相一致的计算结果,从而证明了该方法的可靠性。该方法的辨识质量较高,能够用于一般结构的模态参数辨识。     

Evaluating methods for the reliability of a large 2‐dimensional rectangular k‐within‐consecutive‐(r,s)‐out‐of‐(m,n):F system

A 2‐dimensional rectangular k‐within‐consecutive‐(r, s)‐out‐of‐(m, n):F system consists of m × n components, and fails if and only if k or more components fail in an r × s submatrix. This system can be treated as a reliability model for TFT liquid crystal displays, wireless communication networks, etc. Although an effective method has been developed for evaluating the exact system reliability of small or medium‐sized systems, that method needs extremely high computing time and memory capacity when applied to larger systems. Therefore, developing upper and lower bounds and accurate approximations for system reliability is useful for large systems. In this paper, first, we propose new upper and lower bounds for the reliability of a 2‐dimensional rectangular k‐within‐consecutive‐(r, s)‐out‐of‐(m, n):F system. Secondly, we propose two limit theorems for that system. With these theorems we can obtain accurate approximations for system reliabilities when the system is large and component reliabilities are close to one. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
