Finite elements in the analysis of pressure vessels and piping-a bibliography (1976–1996)

The paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite element methods (FEMs) applied for the analysis of pressure vessel structures/components and piping from the theoretical as well as practical points of view. The range of applications of FEMs in this area is wide and cannot be presented in a single paper; therefore the aim of this review is to give the reader an encyclopaedic view of the differnt possibilities that exist today for the finite element analysis in the fields of pressure vessels and piping. The bibliography at the end of the paper contains approximately 1900 references to papers, conference proceedings and theses/dissertations on the subject that were published in 1976–1996. These are classified in the following categories: linear and non-linear, static and dynamic, stress and deflection analysis; stability problems; thermal problems; fracture mechanics problems; contact problems; fluid-structure interaction problems; manufacturing of pipes and tubes; welded pipes and pressure vessel components; development of special finite elements for pressure vessels and pipes; finite element software; and other topics. Also finite element software, general purpose and special purpose codes, used for the analysis of pressure vessels and pipes are briefly discussed and presented.     

Locked discrete event systems: How to model and how to unlock

To model qualitative aspects of discrete event systems, i.e., the order of the events is of sole importance, we use a triple consisting of the set of all possible events (the alphabet), the set of all behavior (possible strings of events), and the set of all tasks (completed behavior). We use this view to model synchronous as well as asynchronous connection of systems. Moreover, it is easy to define notions like deadlock and livelock in this view. We give a method to construct a second system that, in connection with the original system, gets rid of its deadlock and/or livelock. A state-space representation is introduced. In this representation computations can be done effectively.     

一种便于观测的信号抽样及复原方法

利用倍频器，将重复频率与连续信号ｔ（ｔ）的频率相同的方波进行若干次倍频后，对连续信号进行抽样，从而获得离散的抽样信号ｆｓ（ｔ），再利用有源低通滤波器使其复原成连续信号ｆ（ｔ）。避免了一般抽样器不便于观测的缺点。

Capacitated Clustering Problems by Hybrid Simulated Annealing and Tabu Search

The capacitated clustering problem (CCP) is the problem in which a given set of weighted objects is to be partitioned into clusters so that the total weight of objects in each cluster is less than a given value (cluster ‘capacity’). The objective is to minimize the total scatter of objects from the ‘centre’ of the cluster to which they have been allocated. A simple constructive heuristic, a R-interchange generation mechanism, a hybrid simulated annealing (SA) and tabu search (TS) algorithm which has computationally desirable features using a new non-monotonic cooling schedule, are developed. A classification of the existing SA cooling schedules is presented. The effects on the final solution quality of the initial solutions, the cooling schedule parameters and the neighbourhood search strategies are investigated. Computational results on randomly generated problems with size ranging from 50 to 100 customers indicate that the hybrid SA/TS algorithm out-performs previous simulated annealing algorithms, a simple tabu search and local descent algorithms.
