Fixed-time Group Consensus of Nonlinear Multi-agent Systems via Pinning Control

This paper deals with the fixed-time group consensus problem for multi-agent systems (MASs) subjected to exogenous disturbances. Firstly, two pinning control algorithms are constructed for MASs, which not only reduce the number of controllers but also achieve expected tracking consensus. Secondly, fixed-time group consensus is ensured by utilizing the algebraic graph theory, Lyapunov stability and fixed-time control technique. Finally, simulations are finally given for demonstrate the availability of the derived results.

     

一种Anchor Free的无人机检测方法

目前几乎所有最先进的目标检测方法都依赖于预先定义的anchor,但是由于anchor的存在,网络会增加与anchor相关的计算开销,而且在现实世界中,目标尺度多种多样,比如地对空拍摄的无人机目标,预先定义的anchor不可能穷举所有的无人机尺度。因此,该文抛弃预先定义的anchor,采用anchor free的方法来检测无人机。该anchor free方法以目标中心区域的像素为训练样本来逐像素预测边界框的偏移量。针对地对空拍摄的无人机目标大部分都是小尺度的情况,采用高分辨率网络HRNet作为主干网络来提取小目标细粒度的特征,从而提高小目标检测的精度。相对于基于anchor的目标检测方法,该网络框架简单、灵活,并且可以自适应地预测无人机目标的边界框。在自己设计的无人机数据集上,该方法获得了更高的召回率和精确率。

Influence of static pre-loading on the dynamic bending strength of concrete with particle element modeling

Experimental tests show that static pre-loading has a significant effect on the dynamic strength of concrete.Based on meso-scale particle element model,numerical simulations of dynamic bending tests with pre-loading are performed.Complete stress–strain relationships are then obtained.Significant increase in dynamic strength is found when the pre-loadings are imposed within the elastic limit of concrete.However,when the imposition of pre-loadings reaches the plastic or softening range,dynamic strengths may gradually decrease along with the increase in pre-loadings.The distribution of energy components and the failure modes are discussed to explain the mechanisms of the phenomena.     

In situ study of the mechanical properties of airborne haze particles

Particulate pollution has raised serious concerns regarding its potential impacts on human health in developing countries. However, much less attention has been paid to the threat of haze particles to machinery and industry. By employing a state-of-the-art in situ scanning electron microscope compression testing technique, we demonstrate that iron-rich and fly ash haze particles, which account for nearly 70% of the total micron-sized spherical haze particles, are strong enough to generate abrasive damage to most engineering alloys, and therefore can generate significant scratch damage to moving contacting surfaces in high precision machineries. Our finding calls for preventive measures to protect against haze related threat.

Adoption of travel information in user-generated content on social media: the moderating effect of social presence

Travel patterns have gradually changed from group travel to individual travel. An increasing number of people acquire travel information through various types of media. One of the alternative information sources is social media, which enables users to exchange information among members. However, one of the characteristics of social media is information sharing, not information search, which involves both giving (i.e. posting) and taking (i.e. selective reading, forwarding, replying, linking, and liking) information. Compared to the ‘giving’ side of information-sharing research, less effort has been spent on the ‘taking’ side of information research. Therefore, we investigate travel information adoption in social media as well as how individuals communicate with each other. We use the elaboration likelihood model, which measures the impact of central (e.g. argument quality) and peripheral (e.g. credibility) cues on traveller information-sharing behaviour corresponding with social presence on social media. The results of an empirical analysis of 527 respondents, who were experienced in travel information adoption via social media, were examined. Our findings revealed that argument quality had a positive effect on perceived usefulness and source credibility positively affected perceived usefulness and social relationships. Perceived usefulness had a significant positive effect on social relationships. Both perceived usefulness and social relationships affected travel information adoption. Lastly, the levels of argument quality and source credibility perceived by social media members were found to differ according to the level of social presence.     

A new high accuracy method for two-dimensional biharmonic equation with nonlinear third derivative terms: application to Navier–Stokes equations of motion

In this paper, we propose a new compact fourth-order accurate method for solving the two-dimensional fourth-order elliptic boundary value problem with third-order nonlinear derivative terms. We use only 9-point single computational cell in the scheme. The proposed method is then employed to solve Navier–Stokes equations of motion in terms of streamfunction–velocity formulation, and the lid-driven square cavity problem. We describe the derivation of the method in details and also discuss how our streamfunction–velocity formulation is able to handle boundary conditions in terms of normal derivatives. Numerical results show that the proposed method enables us to obtain oscillation-free high accuracy solution.
