Extended Gaussian Kriging for computer experiments in engineering design

Metamodeling or surrogate modeling is becoming increasingly popular for product design optimization in manufacture industries. In this paper, an extended Gaussian Kriging method is proposed to improve the prediction performance of widely used ordinary Kriging in engineering design. Unlike the forgoing approaches, the proposed method places a variance-varying Gaussian prior on the unknown regression coefficients in the mean model of Kriging and makes prediction at untried design points based on the principle of Bayesian maximum a posterior. The achieved regression mean model is adaptive, therefore capable of capturing more effectively the overall trend of computer responses and leading to a more accurate metamodel. Particularly, the regression coefficients in the mean model are estimated by a fast numerical algorithm, making extended Gaussian Kriging implemented roughly as efficient as ordinary Kriging. Experiment results on several examples are presented, showing remarkable improvement in prediction using extended Gaussian Kriging over ordinary Kriging and several other metamodeling methods.     

Fabrication of PZT nano dot array and their ferroelectric properties

This paper demonstrates a promising and low-cost method for fabricating PZT nano-dot array by using sol–gel template method combined with laser interference lithography. ZrO₂ template with the pitch of 1?μm is firstly fabricated by sol–gel method and laser interference with a 325?nm He-Cd laser. Afterwards, PZT nano dot array with diameter of 500?nm and thickness of 20?nm is prepared on the ZrO₂ template. Atomic force microscope results show that the PZT nano dot array is uniform and highly ordered. Ferroelectric properties of PZT nano dot array are in situ measured through online-operation of TF analyzer and AFM. A ferroelectric hysteresis loop is obtained for the PZT nano dot.     

A web services-based approach to develop a networked information integration service platform for gear enterprise

In order to deal with the problems of information integration and data sharing across distributed heterogeneous application systems in gear enterprises, it is imperative to build up a high quality information integration platform. Web Services, an emerging form of service-oriented architecture (SOA) for distributed computing, have the potential to serve as a key enabling technology to integrate heterogeneous systems under the distributed environment. This paper presents a novel information integration service platform which offers better support for the networked manufacturing of gear enterprise by taking full advantage of technologies of SOA and Web services. In this paper, the information integrated operation mode of gear enterprise networked manufacturing is deeply analyzed and the functional architecture of the networked information integration service platform is proposed. Furthermore, the application integrated framework of gear enterprise is constructed and the software architecture of the service platform is implemented in the .NET environment. Finally, an actual application example of hypoid gear networked manufacturing is provided to demonstrate the practicability of the proposed platform.

密度泛函理论研究（CdTe）_n和（HgTe）_n团簇的基态结构和电子性质

采用密度泛函理论中的广义梯度近似对（CdTe）n和（HgTe）n（n=2～8）团簇的几何结构进行优化,计算了其能量,研究了其电子性质。结合能、最高占据轨道和最低未占据轨道的能隙计算结果表明,n=3、6是团簇的幻数;比较2种团簇的基态结构,发现2种团簇的最低能量结构不同,这可能是导致块体材料CdTe是宽带隙半导体材料,而HgTe是半金属材料的原因。

Structure-preserving algorithms for autonomous Birkhoffian systems

The Pfaff-Birkhoff variational principle is discretized,and based on the discrete variational principle the discrete Birkhoffian equations are obtained.Taking the discrete equations as an algorithm,the corresponding discrete flow is proved to be symplectic.That means the algorithm preserves the symplectic structure of Birkhoffian systems.Finally,simulation results of the given example indicate that structure-preserving algorithms have great advantage in stability and energy conserving.     

Numerical simulation of particle deposition in obstructive human airways

To investigate airflow pattern and its impact on particle deposition, finite-volume based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted in the diseased triple-bifurcation airways. Computations were carried out for twenty Reynolds numbers ranging from 100 to 2 000 in the step of 100. Particles in the size range of 1–10 μm were conducted. Two particle deposition mechanisms (gravitational sedimentation and inertial impaction) were considered. The results indicate that there are strong relationship between airflow structures and particle deposition patterns. Deposition efficiency is different for different particles in the whole range of the respiratory rates. Particles in different sizes can deposit at different sites. Smaller particles can be uniformly deposited at the inside wall of the considered model. Larger particles can be mainly deposited in the proximal bifurcations. Deposition fraction varies a lot for different inlet Reynolds numbers. For lower Reynolds numbers, deposition fraction is relatively small and varies a little with varying the diameters. For higher Reynolds numbers, there is a most efficient diameter for each Reynolds number to target the aerosols at the specific site.     

Low-temperature sintering and microwave dielectric properties of Li2MgTi3O8 ceramics doped with BaCu（B2O5）

The influences of BaCu(B₂O₅) (BCB) addition on sintering, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Li₂MgTi₃O₈ ceramics were investigated using X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy and microwave dielectric measurements. The experimental results show that a small amount of BaCu(B₂O₅) addition can effectively reduce the sintering temperature to 900 °C, and induce only a limited degradation of the microwave dielectric properties. Typically, the best microwave dielectric properties of ɛ _r=24.5, Q×f =24 622 GHz, τ _f=4.2×10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹ are obtained for 1.0% BCB-doped Li₂MgTi₃O₈ ceramics sintered at 900 °C for 3 h. The BCB-doped Li₂MgTi₃O₈ ceramics can be compatible with Ag electrode, which may be a strong candidate for low temperature co-fired ceramics applications.
