Influence of Al2O3 particles on the microstructure and mechanical properties of copper surface composites fabricated by friction stir processing

The influence of three factors, such as volume percentage of reinforcement particles (i.e. Al₂O₃), tool tilt angle and concave angle of shoulder, on the mechanical properties of Cu–Al₂O₃ surface composites fabricated via friction stir processing was studied. Taguchi method was used to optimize these factors for maximizing the mechanical properties of surface composites. The fabricated surface composites were examined by optical microscope for dispersion of reinforcement particles. It was found that Al₂O₃ particles are uniformly dispersed in the stir zone. The tensile properties of the surface composites increased with the increase in the volume percentage of the Al₂O₃ reinforcement particles. This is due to the addition of the reinforcement particles which increases the temperature of recrystallization by pinning the grain boundaries of the copper matrix and blocking the movement of the dislocations. The observed mechanical properties are correlated with microstructure and fracture features.

基于时变量测方差的多传感器多目标优化分配算法

在目标跟踪过程中,目标的动态模型通常在笛卡尔坐标系中,而量测是在极/球坐标系中得到的。在基于卡尔曼滤波及其一些改进算法中,设定量测方差固定不变,可能导致滤波发散。为此提出了一种基于时变量测方差的多传感器资源管理算法。该算法通过统计方法求出转换测量值误差的均值和方差,利用转化卡尔曼滤波算法估计误差协方差,基于协方差的效能函数进行多传感器多目标分配。仿真结果显示该算法在目标跟踪过程中满足跟踪精度要求,并实现传感器资源的充分的利用。

Bullwhip and reverse bullwhip effects under the rationing game

When an unreliable supplier serves multiple retailers, the retailers may compete with each other by inflating their order quantities in order to obtain their desired allocation from the supplier, a behavior known as the rationing game. We introduce capacity information sharing and a capacity reservation mechanism in the rationing game and show that a Nash equilibrium always exists. Moreover, we provide conditions guaranteeing the existence of the reverse bullwhip effect upstream, a consequence of the disruption caused by the supplier. In contrast, we also provide conditions under which the bullwhip effect does not exist. In addition, we show that a smaller unit reservation payment leads to more bullwhip and reverse bullwhip effects, while a large unit underage cost results in a more severe bullwhip effect. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

采用随机矩阵理论的水声阵列SMI-MVDR空间谱估计技术

对角加载MVDR技术是一种经典的空间谱估计技术,在水声阵列信号处理中有着广泛的应用。该技术之所以具有较好的性能是由于其通过对角加载使样本协方差矩阵的特征值分散度减小。提出了基于随机矩阵理论的MVDR空间谱估计技术,具体思路是利用随机矩阵特征值的极限性质实现样本协方差矩阵噪声的抑制,以达到类似对角加载能够实现的特征值分散度减小的效果。仿真表明所提出的方法与对角加载方法达到了同样的目的,且当快拍数一定,而信噪比由小变大时,该方法可以达到与对角加载MVDR技术相当的性能;当信噪比设为定值,快拍数由小变大时,其与对角加载技术具有相同的DOA估计成功概率变化趋势,且在小样本情况下,此方法优势较为明显。

An integral equation for the second moment function of a geometric process and its numerical solution

In this article, an integral equation satisfied by the second moment function M₂(t) of a geometric process is obtained. The numerical method based on the trapezoidal integration rule proposed by Tang and Lam for the geometric function M(t) is adapted to solve this integral equation. To illustrate the numerical method, the first interarrival time is assumed to be one of four common lifetime distributions, namely, exponential, gamma, Weibull, and lognormal. In addition to this method, a power series expansion is derived using the integral equation for the second moment function M₂(t), when the first interarrival time has an exponential distribution.     

A new importance sampling Monte Carlo method for a flow network reliability problem

The exact evaluation of the probability that the maximum st‐flow is greater than or equal to a fixed demand in a stochastic flow network is an NP‐hard problem. This limitation leads one to consider Monte Carlo alternatives. In this paper, we propose a new importance sampling Monte Carlo method. It is based on a recursive use of the state space decomposition methodology of Doulliez and Jamoulle during the simulation process. We show theoretically that the resulting estimator belongs to the variance‐reduction family and we give an upper bound on its variance. As shown by experimental tests, the new sampling principle offers, in many cases, substantial speedups with respect to a previous importance sampling based on the same decomposition procedure and its best performances are obtained when highly reliable networks are analyzed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
