为解决现有输电线路电网信息模型(grid information model, GIM)通道隐患检测方法检测效率低、优化算法存在漏检的问题,提出一种基于等线长点集化和球体包含原理的通道隐患快速检测方法。首先,采用等线长间隔采样方式将导线由空间曲线转化为离散点集,使离散点集在电力线上均匀分布以解决传统等水平间隔采样方式离散点集分布不均匀、特殊档精度较差问题;其次,在地物点到电力线离散点最近距离计算过程中引入球体包含原理对地物点隐患可能进行判断,对不存在隐患可能的地物点跳过邻近点搜索计算,实现通道隐患快速检测。实验表明,该方法在导线点集化方面,对于普通档、特殊档均能保证采样点均匀分布,在线长间隔为10 cm的情况下将最近点的定位误差始终控制在5 cm以内;在检测效率方面,在保证检测精度的前提下将隐患检测耗时优化为传统逐点检测耗时的6.9%,具有较强的实际应用价值。     

Non-local line method for notched elements with use of effective length calculated in an elasto-plastic condition

The paper presents a non-local line method used to the fatigue life calculation of notched elements. The presented method is based on the concept of an effective length which determines the size of the equivalent fatigue zone. Effective values of normal stress calculated in the critical plane with a weight function were applied when determining the equivalent fatigue zone. Simulation studies were performed for two types of steel and two types of loading. Five different series of tests and simulations were used. Experimental studies were carried out for 40 HM-T and EA4T steels. These materials are used in railway industry, including the manufacturing of coupling bars. The notched test specimens contained notches with a tip radius of 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and 1 mm. Stress calculations were performed using the finite element method by adopting cyclic material properties described by the model of a multi-linear hardening. Non-local calculations were performed in a defined critical plane for normal stress distribution and a weight function. As a result, the function of variation of the effective length depending on the loading level and geometry of the notch has been determined.     

Strain Rate Effects on Dynamic Fractures in Fine‐grained Granitic Rock

The effect of dynamic strain rates on failure responses of a fine‐grained granitic rock is studied experimentally and theoretically. Theoretical investigation employs a model incorporating dynamic fracture criterion with damage mechanics theory. Experimental investigation is conducted using split Hopkinson pressure bar device. In order to investigate the effects of microstructure on dynamic fracture failure under different loading rates, fragment debris of each tested specimen is collected and analyzed. It is found through the debris analysis that the granitic rock breaks down into the fragment debris in grain size scales and the effect of strain rates on the formation of fragment debris appears to be related to the microstructure of the rock. It is also found that dynamic inertia induced by the dynamic loading can reduce the effect of friction confinement generated by the contact between the cylindrical specimen and two split Hopkinson pressure bars on the dynamic responses of the specimen. Theoretical evaluations agree with the corresponding experimental observations.     

The lateral load-deformation response of RC walls with a consideration of the height–length ratio

Reinforced concrete (RC) walls play an important role in resisting earthquakes, so understanding the lateral load-deformation response of an RC wall subjected to an axial load, shear, and moment is essential to nonlinear structural analysis. In this study, the moment-bending deformation response of an RC wall under an axial load and moment is obtained from moment–curvature analysis using the wall’s proper plastic hinge length. Furthermore, modified compression-field theory, adjusted according to the height–length ratio of the wall, is used to calculate the shear–shear deformation response of the wall under an axial load and shear. By integrating the moment-bending deformation and the shear–shear deformation responses, the lateral load-deformation response of the RC wall under axial load–moment–shear interaction can be reasonably determined. To confirm the reliability of the proposed method, experimental results for 67 RC walls are compared with analysis results from the proposed method. The statistical results show that the proposed method accurately predicts the lateral ultimate load but somewhat underestimates the lateral ultimate deformation. Finally, this paper gives an example using an equivalent column to simulate an RC wall using SAP2000 pushover analysis.     

An Evaluation of the Crosier's CUSUM Control Chart with Estimated Parameters

We evaluate the performance of the Crosier's cumulative sum (C‐CUSUM) control chart when the probability distribution parameters of the underlying quality characteristic are estimated from Phase I data. Because the average run length (ARL) under estimated parameters is a random variable, we study the estimation effect on the chart performance in terms of the expected value of the average run length (AARL) and the standard deviation of the average run length (SDARL). Previous evaluations of this control chart were conducted while assuming known process parameters. Using the Markov chain and simulation approaches, we evaluate the in‐control performance of the chart and provide some quantiles for its in‐control ARL distribution under estimated parameters. We also compare the performance of the C‐CUSUM chart to that of the ordinary CUSUM (O‐CUSUM) chart when the process parameters are unknown. Our results show that large number of Phase I samples are required to achieve a quite reasonable performance. Additionally, the performance of the C‐CUSUM chart is found to be superior to that of the O‐CUSUM chart. Finally, we recommend the use of a recently proposed bootstrap procedure in designing the C‐CUSUM chart to guarantee, at a certain probability, that the in‐control ARL will be of at least the desired value using the available amount of Phase I data.

On the Modelling and Monitoring of General Inflated Poisson Processes

In this work, we propose and study general inflated probability distributions that can be used for modelling and monitoring unusual count data. The considered models extend the well‐known zero‐inflated Poisson distribution because they allow the excess of values, other than zero. Four simple upper‐sided control schemes are considered for the monitoring of count data based on the proposed general inflated Poisson distributions, and their performance is evaluated under various out‐of‐control situations. The usefulness of the considered models and techniques is illustrated via two real‐data examples, while practical guidelines are provided as well. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effective Control Charts for Monitoring the NGINAR(1) Process

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the control of autocorrelated count data. Existing results focus on the Poisson integer‐valued autoregressive (INAR) process, but this process cannot deal with overdispersion (variance is greater than mean), which is a common phenomenon in count data. We propose to control the autocorrelated count data based on a new geometric INAR (NGINAR) process, which is an alternative to the Poisson one. In this paper, we use the combined jumps chart, the cumulative sum chart, and the combined exponentially weighted moving average chart to detect the shift of parameters in the process. We compare the performance of these charts for the case of an underlying NGINAR(1) process in terms of the average run lengths. One real example is presented to demonstrate good performances of the charts. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
