基于子结构的内力约束连续体拓扑优化

通过拓扑优化可以得到传力路径,不同传力路径对应不同内力载荷。如果将内力载荷作为目标或约束进行拓扑优化,可以得到满足不同需求的传力路径,为拓扑优化的发展提供新思路和新方法。为了得到不同内力载荷需求的传力路径,基于子结构法将结构分开使内力暴露出来。以结构质量最小为目标,以内力为约束建立拓扑优化模型,基于独立、连续、映射( independent, continuous, mapping, ICM)方法和单位载荷法将内力显式化,通过累加获得需要控制的传力路径上的内力,通过迭代调整2个路径上的内力使其比值达到一个稳定的值,从而获得满足内力约束的传力路径。算例表明：不同的内力约束可以得到不同的传力路径。     

Effects of foundation damage and water-level change on vibration modal parameters of gravity-type caisson structure

In this paper,the effects of foundation damage and water-level change on vibration characteristics of gravity-type caisson structure are examined by analyzing modal parameters extracted from output-only information.To achieve the objective,the following approaches are implemented.Firstly,vibration response analysis methods are selected to estimate power spectral density and modal parameters such as natural frequency,damping ratio and mode shape of a lab-scale caisson structural system.Secondly,vibration tests on the lab-scale caisson system are performed under a series of test scenarios which include three water-level changes and three damage levels.Thirdly,experimental modal parameters corresponding to the damaging cases as well as the water level cases are extracted by frequency domain decomposition method and stochastic subspace identification method.Finally,the effects of the water-level variation and foundation damage on the extracted modal parameters are examined to assess the feasibility of the vibration-based damage detection in gravity-type caisson structures under water-level uncertainty.     

Across and along-wind responses of tall building

Most modern tall buildings using lighter construction materials are more flexible, which can lead to excessive wind-induced vibrations resulting in occupant discomfort and structural unsafety. It is necessary to predict and mitigate such wind-induced vibration at the preliminary design stage. Fluctuating across and along-wind loads acting on a tall building that could not be formulated theoretically were simulated numerically in the time domain using known across and along-wind load spectra. These simulated wind loads were used to estimate the across and along-wind responses of a tall building, which are less narrow-banded processes, based on the state space variable approach. The simulated across-wind response of root-mean-square value（0.0047） and that of KAREEM＇s（0.0040） and the simulated along-wind response of root-mean-square value（0.021） and that of SOLARI＇s（0.027） were compared. It is found that these are good approximations of closed form responses. Therefore, these numerically simulated across and along-wind loads can be used for across and along-wind responses estimation for the wind-resistant design of a tall building at the preliminary design stage.     

Variable step-size affine projection algorithm based on global speech absence probability for adaptive feedbackcancellation简

A novel approach is proposed for improving adaptive feedback cancellation using a variable step-size affine projection algorithm（VSS-APA） based on global speech absence probability（GSAP）.The variable step-size of the proposed VSS-APA is adjusted according to the GSAP of the current frame.The weight vector of the adaptive filter is updated by the probability of the speech absence.The performance measure of acoustic feedback cancellation is evaluated using normalized misalignment.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach has better performance than the normalized least mean square（NLMS） and the constant step-size affine projection algorithms.     

A hardware-based algorithm for virtual machine provisioning in a private cloud

Cloud computing is becoming a key factor in the market day by day. Therefore, many companies are investing or going to invest in this sector for development of large data centers. These data centers not only consume more energy but also produce greenhouse gases. Because of large amount of power consumption, data center providers go for different types of power generator to increase the profit margin which indirectly affects the environment. Several studies are carried out to reduce the power consumption of a data center. One of the techniques to reduce power consumption is virtualization. After several studies, it is stated that hardware plays a very important role. As the load increases, the power consumption of the CPU is also increased. Therefore, by extending the study of virtualization to reduce the power consumption, a hardware-based algorithm for virtual machine provisioning in a private cloud can significantly improve the performance by considering hardware as one of the important factors.     

Microstructural and tribological behavior of TiAlN/MoS2-Ti coatings

1. Introduction The search for a better wear resistant coating has resulted in the development of a class of hard, solid-lubricated coatings. The driving force behind the coating industry was the need to develop a proc-ess that will extend the life of steel machine parts, cutting tools, molding dies, and sliding parts. For example, in the stamping industry, severe abrasive wear and galling (cold metal welding) are expected. There is the need for an efficient application of lu-bricants both for…
