工业PTA氧化过程4-CBA浓度的模糊神经网络模型

A fuzzy neural network (FNN) model is developed to predict the 4-CBA concentration of the oxidation unit in purified terephthalic acid process. Several technologies are used to deal with the process data before modeling.First,a set of preliminary input variables is selected according to prior knowledge and experience. Secondly,a method based on the maximum correlation coefficient is proposed to detect the dead time between the process variables and response variables. Finally, the fuzzy curve method is used to reduce the unimportant input variables.The simulation results based on industrial data show that the relative error range of the FNN model is narrower than that of the American Oil Company (AMOCO) model. Furthermore, the FNN model can predict the trend of the 4-CBA concentration more accurately.     

Spline multiresolution and wavelet-like decompositions

Splines are useful tools to represent, modify and analyze curves and they play an important role in various practical applications. We present a multiresolution approach to spline curves with arbitrary knots that provides good feature detection and localization properties for non-equally distributed geometric data. In addition, we show how equidistributed data and knot sequences can be efficiently handled using signal processing techniques.     

Toughness Optimization of SBR Elastomers – Use of Fracture Mechanics Methods for Characterization

Elastomer materials are used in a wide application range and subjected to different loading from which failure of the material results. Because this failure is caused by initiation and propagation of cracks, the application of fracture mechanics methods for the assessment of the material is obvious. A short summary of the methods of technical fracture mechanics including possibilities of determination of crack resistance curves is given. Vulcanizates on the basis of SBR 1500 with various sulfur and carbon black contents were investigated. For describing the crack initiation and crack propagation behavior, several fracture mechanics examination methods were applied. Tear‐analyzer results were used to assess the crack propagation behavior under fatigue‐like loading conditions. Furthermore, for the characterization of the crack resistance of the materials under impact‐like loading conditions, instrumented tensile‐impact tests were performed. To obtain information about the initiation and propagation of a stable crack, quasi‐static fracture mechanics tests were applied. The results of the several tests are discussed in dependence on sulfur and carbon black contents. We found a non‐monotonous behavior of the toughness as a function of carbon black loading. An explanation is given in connection with a percolation‐like transition in filler morphology on larger length scales.

基于微观孔隙通道的饱和/非饱和土渗透系数模型及其应用

从微观角度揭示土体变形对饱和/非饱和渗透系数的影响机理,建立相应的预测方法,对于饱和/非饱和土的渗流分析及水力耦合研究具有重要的科学意义。利用流体力学理论,建立了微观孔隙通道渗透系数与等效孔径的关系,在此基础之上,结合毛细理论建立了饱和/非饱和渗透系数与土-水特征曲线的关系模型,并利用已有试验数据验证了模型的合理性。结合该模型与变形条件下土-水特征曲线预测方法,对变形条件下武汉黏性土饱和/非饱和渗透系数进行预测,结果表明黏性土在压缩变形条件下:饱和渗透系数呈数量级的减小,预测值与实测值均吻合较好;双对数坐标下,非饱和相对渗透系数在进气值之后随基质吸力增加而减小,不同初始孔隙比条件下其斜率近似不变,整体呈现"毛刷型"分布,相同基质吸力条件下,初始孔隙比越小,相对渗透系数越大;非饱和渗透系数,进气值之前近似为饱和渗透系数,进气值之后随基质吸力增大而减小,不同初始孔隙比的变化线近似重合。

Self-intersections of rational Bézier curves

Rational Bézier curves provide a curve fitting tool and are widely used in Computer Aided Geometric Design, Computer Aided Design and Geometric Modeling. The injectivity (one-to-one property) of rational Bézier curve as a mapping function is equivalent to the curve without self-intersections. We present a geometric condition on the control polygon which is equivalent to the injectivity of rational Bézier curve with this control polygon for all possible choices of weights. The proof is based on the degree elevation and toric degeneration of rational Bézier curve.     

Total curvature variation fairing for medial axis regularization

We present a new fairing method for planar curves, which is particularly well suited for the regularization of the medial axis of a planar domain. It is based on the concept of total variation regularization. The original boundary (given as a closed B-spline curve or several such curves for multiply connected domains) is approximated by another curve that possesses a smaller number of curvature extrema. Consequently, the modified curve leads to a smaller number of branches of the medial axis. In order to compute the medial axis, we use the state-of-the-art algorithm from [1] which is based on arc spline approximation and a domain decomposition approach. We improve this algorithm by using a different decomposition strategy that allows to reduce the number of base cases from 13 to only 5. Moreover, the algorithm reduces the number of conic arcs in the output by approx. 50%.
