Strengthening of Preloaded RC Beams Using Hybrid Carbon Sheets

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams subject to service loads of 40 or 60% of steel yielding were strengthened using hybrid continuous carbon fiber sheets. The hybrid systems were made of high-strength and high-modulus carbon sheets, and compared with systems using only high-strength carbon. It was found that the use of high-modulus carbon sheets in hybrid systems could increase the yielding load, the flexural stiffness, the postyielding ductility, and reduce the crack opening in concrete. The slope changes on load-deflection curves at steel yielding are not noticeable in hybrid systems. The tensile strains developed in hybrid sheets after the fracture of high-modulus carbon are higher in magnitude and distributed in a larger area, leading to an ultimate carbon fracture with concrete crushing. These unique features are attributed to the high stiffness and low ultimate tensile strain of the high-modulus carbon fibers which stiffen the structures, avoid or delay the fiber-reinforced polymer debonding, and facilitate the deformability during their subsequent breakdown.

QoS Model of a Router with Feedback Control

The Internet has evolved into a shared, integrated platform of a broad range of applications with different Quality‐of‐Service (QoS) requirements. Routers are an important part of the Internet and play a critical role in assuring QoS. A router is usually placed between two networks to receive data packets from one network and then transmit those data packets to another network if necessary. Data packets are the actual units of data traveling on computer networks. A data packet has two parts: header and data. The data carries messages, such as e‐mail text, from computer applications. The header carries information that is required to control and manage the transmission of the data packet on computer networks. Existing approaches for providing QoS involve prediction or estimation for traffic characterization to determine parameters required of static traffic admission control. However, prediction or estimation inaccuracy in traffic characterization can result in inappropriate parameter settings for static admission control and, in turn, compromise QoS or resource utilization. This study presents a QoS model of a router with feedback control that monitors the state of resource usage and adaptively adjusts parameters of traffic admission control to overcome prediction or estimation inaccuracy and achieve a balance between QoS and resource utilization. The QoS model of a router with feedback control is simulated to test its performance on QoS and resource utilization in both heavy and light traffic conditions. The performance of the QoS model of a router with feedback control is also compared with that of two basic QoS models of a router with static admission control using admission control parameters resulting from over‐ and under‐characterization of traffic, respectively. The simulation results show that the QoS model of a router with feedback control achieves a better balance between QoS and resource utilization than the basic QoS models with over‐ and under‐characterizations of traffic in the heavy traffic condition. This study also shows that the three models of routers demonstrate similar QoS performances and resource utilization in the light traffic condition. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

服务组合中面向端到端用户QoS需求的QoS聚合机制研究

服务组合基于多种基本的组合结构,组合多个已有的服务来满足用户的功能性和非功能性(即QoS)需求。通常,用户的需求直接是端到端的需求,而服务描述本身具有自身的QoS描述。由于所处的层次不同,端到端的QoS需求描述和单个服务的QoS描述存在一定的语义鸿沟。基于层次化本体模型建立QoS本体模型,建立了用户QoS和服务QoS之间的映射关系。并针对基本的服务组合结构,研究了异构QoS本体环境下服务的QoS聚合机制。基于基本组合结构的QoS聚合,提出了完整的服务组合中的QoS聚合算法和QoS转换算法,以满足端到端的QoS需求。
