A worst‐case formulation for constrained ranking and selection with input uncertainty

In this research, we consider robust simulation optimization with stochastic constraints. In particular, we focus on the ranking and selection problem in which the computing time is sufficient to evaluate all the designs (solutions) under consideration. Given a fixed simulation budget, we aim at maximizing the probability of correct selection (PCS) for the best feasible design, where the objective and constraint measures are assessed by their worst‐case performances. To simplify the complexity of PCS, we develop an approximated probability measure and derive the asymptotic optimality condition (optimality condition as the simulation budget goes to infinity) of the resulting problem. A sequential selection procedure is then designed within the optimal computing budget allocation framework. The high efficiency of the proposed procedure is tested via a number of numerical examples. In addition, we provide some useful insights into the efficiency of a budget allocation procedure.     

基于两种模型的燃气轮机级内流场数值模拟的分析比较

借助Fluent软件,采用混合平面模型和滑移网格模型分别对某船用增压锅炉燃气轮机级内流场进行了数值模拟(CFD)分析,并对比了两种模型条件下燃气轮机级出口参数的变化规律.对比分析结果表明:非定常干扰因素主要来自动静叶片排间的相对运动和每个叶片排流场周向非均匀性引起的非定常流动,动静叶栅之间的非定常干扰因素是导致级出口参数不同于定常情况下的根本原因,从而进一步揭示了燃气轮机级内流动具有固有非定常性的物理本质.     

基于犯罪预防的高层住宅小区防卫设计策略探析

过快的城市化进程引发了包括住区犯罪在内的一系列城市问题。住宅小区的规划设计虽不是导致犯罪发生的直接原因,但其在设计上的缺陷却为犯罪的实施提供了一定的便利。高层住宅小区相比于多层住宅小区,在基于犯罪预防的防卫设计层面存在更为突出的问题。从现状入手,通过实地调研,分析了高层住宅小区在防卫设计上的难点,并从车行道路的规划、半公共领域的界定、单体设计的要点、绿化设计的布局等4个方面提出了防卫设计策略,为高层住宅小区的规划设计提供参考。

A novel signal feature extraction technology based on empirical wavelet transform and reverse dispersion entropy

Feature extraction is an important part of signal processing, which is significant for signal detection, classification, and recognition. The nonlinear dynamic analysis method can extract the nonlinear characteristics of signals and is widely used in different fields. Reverse dispersion entropy (RDE) proposed by us recently, as a nonlinear dynamic analysis method, has the advantages of fast computing speed and strong anti-noise ability, which is more suitable for measuring the complexity of signal than traditional permutation entropy (PE) and dispersion entropy (DE). Empirical wavelet transform (EWT), based on the theory of wavelet analysis, can decompose a complex non-stationary signal into a number of empirical wavelet functions (EWFs) with compact support set spectrum, which has better decomposition performance than empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and its improved algorithms. Considering the advantages of RDE and EWT, on the one hand, we introduce EWT into the field of underwater acoustic signal processing and fault diagnosis to improve the signal decomposition accuracy; on the other hand, we use RDE as the features of EWFs to improve the signal separability and stability. Finally, we propose a novel signal feature extraction technology based on EWT and RDE in this paper. Experimental results show that the proposed feature extraction technology can effectively extract the complexity features of actual signals. Moreover, it also has higher distinguishing ability for different types of signals than five latest feature extraction technologies.     

Research progress on advanced rail materials for electromagnetic railgun technology

Electromagnetic railgun attracts more and more attention due to its advantage in speed,cost,and obscurity.It is found that the rail should withstand huge mechanical and thermal shocks during the launching operation.The forms of rail failure are accompanied by gouge,grooving,transition,and arc ablation,etc.The service life of the rail has become a bottleneck restricting the development of elec-tromagnetic railgun technology.A series of researches are carried out to solve rail failure,including analysing the failure mechanism and using various advanced rail materials.This paper provides a comprehensive review of rail materials,including material composition,preparation,microstructure,and properties.We begin from a short background of the requirement of the rail material.Then a detailed investigation of rail materials is described,and the performances of those materials are introduced.Finally,further development prospect of rail material is discussed.     

Recent progress on transition metal oxides and carbon-supported transition metal oxides as catalysts for thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate

As a main oxidizer in solid composite propellants, ammonium perchlorate (AP) plays an important role because its thermal decomposition behavior has a direct influence on the characteristic of solid com-posite propellants. To improve the performance of solid composite propellant, it is necessary to take measures to modify the thermal decomposition behavior of AP. In recent years, transition metal oxides and carbon-supported transition metal oxides have drawn considerable attention due to their extraor-dinary catalytic activity. In this review, we highlight strategies to enhance the thermal decomposition of AP by tuning morphology, varying the types of metal ion, and coupling with carbon analogue. The enhanced catalytic performance can be ascribed to synergistic effect, increased surface area, more exposed active sites, and accelerated electron transportation and so on. The mechanism of AP decom-position mixed with catalyst has also been briefly summarized. Finally, a conclusive outlook and possible research directions are suggested to address challenges such as lacking practical application in actual formulation of solid composite propellant and batch manufacturing.
