Attrition models of the Ardennes campaign

This paper revisits the modeling by Bracken [3] of the Ardennes campaign of World War II using the Lanchester equations. It revises and extends that analysis in a number of ways: (1) It more accurately fits the model parameters using linear regression; (2) it considers the data from the entire campaign; and (3) it adds in air sortie data. In contrast to previous results, it concludes by showing that neither the Lanchester linear or Lanchester square laws fit the data. A new form of the Lanchester equations emerges with a physical interpretation. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 45: 1–22, 1998     

Estimating reliability of components with increasing failure rate using series system data

The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for a distribution function with increasing failure rate is derived, based on a collection of series system data. Applications can arise in industries where operating environments make available only such system-level data, due to system configuration or type-II censoring. The estimator can be solved using isotonic regression. For the special case in which systems contain one component, the estimator is equivalent to the restricted maximum likelihood estimator of Marshall and Proschan [9]. The MLE is illustrated using emergency diesel generator failure data from the nuclear industry. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 45: 115–123, 1998

NON‐LINEARITY IN THE DEFENCE EXPENDITURE – ECONOMIC GROWTH RELATIONSHIP IN TAIWAN

As we enter the 21st Century, technologies originally developed for defense purposes such as computers and satellite communications appear to have become a driving force behind economic growth in the United States. Paradoxically, almost all previous econometric models suggest that the largely defense‐oriented federal industrial R&;D funding that helped create these technologies had no discernible effect on U.S. industrial productivity growth. This paper addresses this paradox by stressing that defense procurement as well as federal R&;D expenditures were targeted to a few narrowly defined manufacturing sub‐sectors that produced high tech weaponry. Analysis employing data from the NBER Manufacturing Productivity Database and the BEA’ s Input Output tables then demonstrates that defense procurement policies did have significant effects on the productivity performance of disaggregated manufacturing industries because of a process of procurement‐driven technological change.

线性规划优化分析的元模型方法及其比较

线性规划优化分析在经济管理等领域有着广泛的应用。当线性规划约束条件的右端向量在一定范围内变化时,目标函数的最优值是右端向量的一个复杂的分片线性函数,但通常难以给出分析表达式。应用多项式回归、径向基函数、Kriging法及多项式回归 Kriging法这四种元模型方法,能快速预测最优值函数。通过仿真实验,对这四种形式的元模型作较全面的比较分析。数值实验的结果表明,用次数较少的实验设计,后三种方法都具有较高的拟合精度;特别地,多项式回归 Kriging法不仅拟合精度高,而且还能用一个二阶多项式给出最优值函数的一个简明的近似描述。结果表明,元模型方法是研究线性规划优化分析问题的有效途径。     

平底气泡船凹槽气层波动特性

为提高大型平底气泡船底部凹槽设计的有效性,基于RANS方程及VOF两相流模型构建了大型平板船凹槽气层数值计算模型。研究气层在凹槽中的动态发展过程,分析速度对气层波动的影响规律,并阐述三维凹槽气层的波形特性及其与二维气层波动的区别,揭示气层波动的相似律。数值结果表明:气层在凹槽中呈现波动形态,气层波长随速度的增加而增大,波长等于速度平方的0.64倍;气层在凹槽侧壁的干扰及反射下呈现相干波系,从而其波高及局部厚度也随之改变;气层波动满足傅汝德相似。
