Relationship between yield ratio and the material constants of the Swift equation

The relationship between the yield ratio and the material constants,b andN, of the Swift equation for hotrolled low carbon steels has been established. The yield ratio calculated by using the Swift equation agrees well with an experimentally obtained yield ratio. It was found that the yield ratio decreases with an increasing value ofN or with a decreasing value ofb. It was also found, however, that high yield strength is associated with small values of bothb andN. Therefore, to obtain both high yield strength and low yield ratio, a detailed microstructural control is needed to determine the optimum values ofb andN.

A kinetics formulation for low-temperature plasticity

The mechanism of low-temperature plastic deformation is controlled by thermally activated dislocation movements. An evolutionary constitutive law based on the principles of deformation kinetics is described in this article. The constitutive law is expressed with a sinh function designed for computational efficiency. It is derived from rigorously defined kinetics principles. The approximation involved in the sinh function is defined so that in applications an exact evaluation can be made of the validity limits. The system of the constitutive law and the external constraints lead to the operational equations. Applications are developed for constant strain-rate loading, constant stress-rate loading, stress relaxation, creep, and ratchetting processes. The analysis provides a unified treatment for low-temperature plastic deformation.     

Life time dependency on the pre-coating treatment of a thermal barrier coating under thermal cycling

A thermal barrier coating system consisting of the single crystalline Ni-based superalloy CMSX 4, a Pt aluminide bond coat and an EB-PVD processed ceramic top coat was thermally cycled in order to study the influence of three different treatments prior the deposition of the ceramic top coat. Besides the standard treatment, one type of treatment was annealing in vacuum, while the other was annealing in an O containing ArH atmosphere; in both cases for 4 h at 1080 °C.Compared to the standard treatment, annealing in vacuum almost doubled and annealing in ArH atmosphere almost tripled the cyclic life time of the ceramic coating. The improvement was related to the creation of a defined alumina scale before and during TBC deposition.     

Target tracking with incomplete detection

In this paper, we address the multiple target tracking problem as a maximum a posteriori problem. We adopt a graph representation of all observations over time. To make full use of the visual observations from the image sequence, we introduce both motion and appearance likelihood. The multiple target tracking problem is formulated as finding multiple optimal paths in the graph. Due to the noisy foreground segmentation, an object may be represented by several foreground regions and similarly one foreground region may correspond to multiple objects. To deal with this problem, we propose merge, split and mean shift operations to generate new hypotheses to the measurement graph. The proposed approach uses a sliding window framework, that aggregates information across a fixed number of frames. Experimental results on both indoor and outdoor data sets are reported. Furthermore, we provide a comparison between the proposed approach with the existing methods that do not merge/split detected blobs.     

Research on delamination monitoring for composite structures based on HHGA–WNN

Due to the deficiencies of the training algorithms for available wavelet neural network used for structural health monitoring, a new hybrid hierarchy genetic algorithm was introduced by combining hierarchy genetic algorithm and least-square method to improve the learning procedure of wavelet neural network. The hybrid algorithm was able to determine the structure and parameters of the wavelet neural network simultaneously. In this algorithm, adaptive crossover and mutation probability were used to accelerate the genetic speed and avoid the occurrence of prematurity. The modal frequencies of a glass/epoxy laminates beam with varying assumed delamination sizes and locations were computed using finite element method and fed into the wavelet neural network to predict the delamination location and its extent. The simulation demonstrates that the wavelet neural network based on hybrid hierarchy genetic algorithm is robust, promising and converges very fast.     

融合隐向量对齐和Swin Transformer的OCTA血管分割

目的 光学相干断层扫描血管造影（optical coherence tomography angiography,OCTA）是一种非侵入式的新兴技术,越来越多地应用于视网膜血管成像。与传统眼底彩照相比,OCTA技术能够显示黄斑周围的微血管信息,在视网膜血管成像邻域具有显著优势。临床实践中,医生可以通过OCTA图像观察不同层的血管结构,并通过分析血管结构的变化来判断是否存在相关疾病。大量研究表明,血管结构的任何异常变化通常都意味着存在某种眼科疾病。因此,对OCTA图像中的视网膜血管结构进行自动分割提取,对众多眼部相关疾病量化分析和临床决策具有重大意义。然而,OCTA图像存在视网膜血管结构复杂、图像整体对比度低等问题,给自动分割带来极大挑战。为此,提出了一种新颖的融合隐向量对齐和Swin Transformer的视网膜血管结构的分割方法,能够实现血管结构的精准分割。方法 以ResU-Net为主干网络,通过Swin Transformer编码器获取丰富的血管特征信息。此外,设计了一种基于隐向量的特征对齐损失函数,能够在隐空间层次对网络进行优化,提升分割性能。结果 在3个OCTA图像数据集上的...
