Quantile regression without the curse of unsmoothness

We consider quantile regression models and investigate the induced smoothing method for obtaining the covariance matrix of the regression parameter estimates. We show that the difference between the smoothed and unsmoothed estimating functions in quantile regression is negligible. The detailed and simple computational algorithms for calculating the asymptotic covariance are provided. Intensive simulation studies indicate that the proposed method performs very well. We also illustrate the algorithm by analyzing the rainfall-runoff data from Murray Upland, Australia.     

Influence of dynamic strain aging pre-treatment on creep-fatigue behavior in 316L stainless steel

Stress controlled creep-fatigue tests were carried out for hot rolled and dynamic strain aging pre-treated 316L stainless steel different loading levels at 550 °C. For both pre-treatment state materials, dynamic strain aging was found to manifest itself macroscopically as displacement or mean strain abrupt jumps during cyclic deformation. Comparing with hot rolled material, by DSA pre-treatment, the creep-fatigue cyclic strain amplitude is decreased, the cycle at the 1st abrupt displacement jump is postponed and the material creep-fatigue life is effectively prolonged. Moreover, it is found that, the material creep-fatigue life monotonically increases with pre-deformation strain, no matter the maximum pre-deformation stress is larger than the maximum creep-fatigue applied stress or not.     

Kinetics and equilibrium of Cu(II) adsorption onto chemically modified orange peel cellulose biosorbents

A series of orange peel cellulose biosorbents has been specifically prepared by different chemical modifications to understand the mechanism of copper adsorption from chloride solutions. The different biosorbents and raw orange peels were characterized using elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The acidic and basic sites and pH of zero charge were also determined. The influences of pH, contact time, initial copper concentration and solid/liquid ratio on copper removal were examined. The maximum adsorption capacity of copper was 1.22 mol/kg, using orange peel esterified by 0.6 mol/L citric acid at 80 °C after 0.1 mol/L NaOH saponification. A comparison of different isotherm models revealed that the combination of Langmuir and Freundlich (L–F) isotherm model fitted the experimental data best. Results indicate that the chemically modified orange peel cellulose can provide an efficient and cost-effective technology for eliminating copper from aqueous solution.

Integration of process planning and scheduling—A modified genetic algorithm-based approach

Traditionally, process planning and scheduling for parts were carried out in a sequential way, where scheduling was done after process plans had been generated. Considering the fact that the two functions are usually complementary, it is necessary to integrate them more tightly so that performance of a manufacturing system can be improved greatly. In this paper, a new integration model and a modified genetic algorithm-based approach have been developed to facilitate the integration and optimization of the two functions. In the model, process planning and scheduling functions are carried out simultaneously. In order to improve the optimized performance of the modified genetic algorithm-based approach, more efficient genetic representations and operator schemes have been developed. Experimental studies have been conducted and the comparisons have been made between this approach and others to indicate the superiority and adaptability of this method. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is a promising and very effective method for the integration of process planning and scheduling.

内置横向插板加强型管节点静力强度研究

主管内设置横向插板是改善焊接圆钢管结构承载能力的一种方法。为了研究横向内置插板对节点静力强度的影响，采用有限元方法，对62个加强与未加强的T形节点模型进行了有限元模拟和分析。调查了节点区域和内置横向插板在静力加载过程中的变形过程。通过对模型参数的研究发现：内置横向插板能够提高T形节点的静力强度，但当T形节点承受轴向压力作用时，静力强度的提高对插板长度和厚度的变化不敏感。插板的厚度可按照构造措施选取，长度不能小于支管的直径。
