径向不耦合装药爆破效果的数值研究

为了研究径向不耦合条件下爆破效果的影响因素,利用AUTODYN-2D对比不耦合系数、不耦合介质、炸药种类对爆破效果的影响规律。结果表明,与耦合装药相比,径向不耦合装药条件下炮孔压力明显降低。对比水介质和空气介质下的爆破效果可知,水介质不耦合条件下,炸药爆炸能量的传递效率更高。炮孔压力与炸药种类密切相关,TNT产生的炮孔压力最大,但作用时间较短,而ANFO和乳化炸药的作用时间较长。

Numerical investigation into the decoupling effects of hydrogen blending on flame structure and soot formation in a laminar ethylene diffusion flame

Numerical calculations were conducted to explore the various effects of hydrogen blending on flame properties and soot behaviors in an ethylene coflow diffusion flame, based on a fully step-by-step decoupling method, by introducing several virtual species into the gas-phase mechanism. Results show that the concentration of OH increases under the chemical effect of hydrogen due to an enhanced rate of H₂ + O ↔ OH + H. The soot yield, primary number density, and average primary number per aggregate decrease under dilution effect while these increase under chemical effect. The enhancements of hydrogen-abstraction-carbon-addition (HACA) rates and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) condensation rates are responsible for soot mass addition under chemical effect. Both the oxidation rates by O₂ and OH are delayed under the chemical effect because of lower concentrations of O₂ and OH in the sooting zone. The overall effect of higher surface growth rates and delayed oxidation rates results in an increased soot volume fraction (SVF).     

Food recognition using neural network classifier and multiple hypotheses image segmentation

ABSTRACT

This paper proposes the multiple-hypotheses image segmentation and feed-forward neural network classifier for food recognition to improve the performance. Initially, the food or meal image is given as input. Then, the segmentation is applied to identify the regions, where a particular food item is located using salient region detection, multi-scale segmentation, and fast rejection. Then, the features of every food item are extracted by the global feature and local feature extraction. After the features are obtained, the classification is performed for each segmented region using a feed-forward neural network model. Finally, the calorie value is computed with the aid of (i) food volume and (ii) calorie and nutrition measure based on mass value. The experimental results and performance evaluation are validated. The outcome of the proposed method attains 0.947 for Macro Average Accuracy (MAA) and 0.959 for Standard Accuracy (SA), which provides better classification performance.     

Nonlinear robust dual-loop control for electro-hydraulic load simulator

This paper investigates on the high performance torque control of electro-hydraulic load simulator (EHLS). In order to suppress actuator׳s motion disturbance, a nonlinear robust dual-loop control scheme is developed, which consists of a open-loop nonlinear velocity feed-forward compensator and a closed-loop nonlinear deterministic robust torque controller. The main function of the open-loop compensator is to decouple actuator׳s active motion disturbance, whereas the torque loop controller aims at guaranteeing the dynamics performance of tracking torque reference. Besides actuator׳s motion disturbance, both the nonlinearity characteristics and friction problem of the EHLS system are taken into consideration in this paper. The effectiveness of the developed method are verified through comparative co-simulations and experiments.     

Hybrid make-to-stock and make-to-order systems: a taxonomic review

Production planning and control (PPC) systems that employ aspects from both make-to-order (MTO) and make-to-stock (MTS) production control are known as hybrid MTS/MTO systems. While both MTO and MTS separately have been studied extensively, their combined use has received less attention. However, the literature on this topic is growing and this paper shows that the review performed in this paper is an important addition to the field. We categorise relevant literature according to a novel taxonomy and show that hybrid MTS/MTO production control can be used in different contexts. In addition, an overview of the modelling techniques and methods used in these papers is provided. Based on the reviewed literature, relevant research questions and directions for future research are identified. Finally, it is shown that hybrid MTS/MTO production control is prevalent in practice by discussing research with industrial applications. The paper contains an overview of research on hybrid MTS/MTO production control to be used as reference for researchers active in the field, and provides managerial insights and directions for future research on this topic.

基于参数解耦陷波滤波器的工业机器人末端振动抑制

六自由度工业机器人关节因传动装置刚度不足而引发末端振动,通常采用传统陷波滤波器解决该问题;但滤波器参数之间存在耦合,导致滤波器参数难以快速整定。为此,基于所建立的工业机器人双惯量负载模型设计出具有参数解耦的陷波滤波器。分析传统陷波滤波器传递函数,采用极点零点抵消法对陷波器参数进行解耦设计;将陷波器中心频率、宽度以及深度作为陷波滤波器的参数;最后,利用傅里叶变换和对数衰减法快速整定改进后的陷波器参数,以此来抑制工业机器人末端振动。搭建六自由度工业机器人实验平台进行实验。结果表明:参数解耦陷波滤波器不存在参数耦合,参数整定方便;使用参数解耦滤波器比未使用滤波器相比可降低78.5%的工业机器人定位振动,证明改进的参数解耦陷波滤波器对定位振动抑制的可行性与有效性。     

Automatic Coagulation Control at Water-Treatment Plants in the North-West Region of England

North West Water has evaluated several automatic coagulation control systems covering a range of raw waters and treatment facilities.
The experiences have shown that streaming-current type systems are effective in controlling coagulant dose automatically, provided that appropriate plant conditions exist. In particular, rapid fluctuations in flow or poor mixing of chemicals can lead to unstable signals. Recent investigations indicate that for some waters streaming-current voltage is sensitive to small changes in pH, and precise control of pH is therefore necessary.
The main observed benefits have been treated water of a more consistent high quality, together with improved security of service, as the systems will respond reliably and effectively over long periods. Significant savings in coagulant usage can be obtained in certain cases.
