一种钢管焊接结构焊接节点损伤识别的新方法

采用端部半刚性连接梁单元模型进行模拟焊接节点的损伤,并基于应变模态理论,提出了一种焊接节点损伤识别两步法。第一步,先整体测量结构的位移模态并推导出应变模态,然后采用改进后的目标函数,通过信赖域优化算法对损伤节点位置进行准确判定;第二步,采用提出的杆端应变模态变化比指标,实现焊接节点损伤程度的精确识别。经工程实例的数值仿真及试验分析,验证了该方法的有效性及优越性,为解决这类大型焊接结构焊接节点的损伤识别问题提供了新思路。     

舰船复合材料局部结构细节设计方法

由于复合材料结构具有各向异性、组份复杂、可设计变量多等特性,有效的复合材料结构设计应同时考虑整体结构宏观设计和局部结构细节设计,两者虽密切关联,但在分析方法上存在一定差异。对此,将整体结构简化分析与局部结构细节设计联系起来,重点针对局部结构细节设计方法进行探讨,提出了一种细节设计方法。该方法基于子模型与试验工况模型的对比分析,通过局部结构试件试验对整体结构承载特性进行了综合评价。以某型船复合材料甲板室结构设计为例,通过整体简化模型优化分析确定板架构件尺度参量和铺层设计方案;提取典型局部结构承载形变特征要求,并基于子模型分析技术探讨局部结构细节设计;最后,以局部结构试验验证与考核完成整体结构的优化设计。计算结果表明:该方法能在有效控制设计成本的同时,合理开展复合材料结构设计工作,可供研究和设计者参考。

The UK defence electronics industry: adjusting to change

The electronics industry provides components and capabilities that are critical to modern defence requirements. It is anticipated that the effectiveness of both weapons systems and the command and control network that supports military operations will become increasingly dependent upon the electronics sub‐systems they employ in the future. With the ascendancy of ‘network centric warfare’, it seems certain that defence electronics will continue to grow in importance in the future, enabling far‐reaching advances in military capability and efficiency. Yet little is known about the structure, conduct, performance and competitiveness of the UK defence electronics sector as it prepares to meet the challenges ahead. This paper reports the findings of a study commissioned in 2002 by Intellect, the UK defence electronics trade association, and supported by the Department of Trade and Industry. The UK defence electronics industry is found to be a high technology, R&D‐intensive and decreasing cost industry, which is competitive in world defence markets. The UK industry faces major competitive threats in the future from established US and European firms and from potential new entrants from China, India, Israel, Singapore, South Korea and Turkey. The future competitiveness of the UK defence electronics industry will depend on maintaining both technical advantage and open access to the large US market.     

SLOWING DOWN TO KEEP THE LEAD IN MILITARY TECHNOLOGY

We develop a model of military technology competition among states. States can choose to introduce new military technology, mimic rivals’ level of technology, or withdraw from the contest. States can choose to implement any level of technology within their current feasible technologies. We find that states with significant technological leads should sometimes withhold new technologies, only strategically releasing them to trump rivals’ efforts. We develop the model by refining Admiral Jackie Fisher’s roughly articulated concept of ‘plunging’. We then use this refined argument to reanalyze the case of naval rivalries among European powers between the Crimean War and the First World War. Finally, we conclude by discussing the model’s implications for current US military force structure planning.

面向蛋白质功能预测中有向无环图标记结构的多示例多标记学习

在多示例多标记学习问题中,标记之间往往是相互关联的,其中有向无环图结构是一种常见的层次关联结构,可见于蛋白质的基因本体学生物学功能预测的应用场景中。针对其标记间的有向无环图结构,提出了一种新的多示例多标记学习算法。算法从原始数据的特征空间训练出所有标记共享的低维子空间,通过随机梯度下降方法来降低模型排序损失,并融入标记间有向无环图结构关系对预测标记进行优化。将该算法应用于多个数据集的蛋白质功能预测中,实验结果表明,该算法具有更高的效率及预测性能。     

Two novel critical shock models based on Markov renewal processes

In this paper, we investigate systems subject to random shocks that are classified into critical and noncritical categories, and develop two novel critical shock models. Classical extreme shock models and run shock models are special cases of our developed models. The system fails when the total number of critical shocks reaches a predetermined threshold, or when the system stays in an environment that induces critical shocks for a preset threshold time, corresponding to failure mechanisms of the developed two critical shock models respectively. Markov renewal processes are employed to capture the magnitude and interarrival time dependency of environment-induced shocks. Explicit formulas for systems under the two critical shock models are derived, including the reliability function, the mean time to failure and so on. Furthermore, the two critical shock models are extended to the random threshold case and the integrated case where formulas of the reliability indexes of the systems are provided. Finally, a case study of a lithium-ion battery system is conducted to illustrate the proposed models and the obtained results.
