为了研究U形与直线预应力束混合布置索塔锚固结构的受力特性,以国内某姊妹塔斜拉桥的菱形桥塔为例,采用通用有限元程序建立索塔锚固结构的节段有限元模型,分析索塔锚固结构在预应力荷载与斜拉索水平力共同作用下的受力情况。结果表明:在索塔锚固结构中采用U形与直线预应力束混合布置能较好的满足设计要求,使锚固区整体处于较为合理的压力状态之下,除局部的应力集中外,基本消除了斜拉索作用下顺桥向塔柱的拉应力;在齿块与塔柱内壁的结合处存在应力集中现象,应当引起足够的重视,施工时应严格控制施工质量。     

Analysis of a large number of Markov chains competing for transitions

We consider the behaviour of a stochastic system composed of several identically distributed, but non independent, discrete-time absorbing Markov chains competing at each instant for a transition. The competition consists in determining at each instant, using a given probability distribution, the only Markov chain allowed to make a transition. We analyse the first time at which one of the Markov chains reaches its absorbing state. When the number of Markov chains goes to infinity, we analyse the asymptotic behaviour of the system for an arbitrary probability mass function governing the competition. We give conditions that ensure the existence of the asymptotic distribution and we show how these results apply to cluster-based distributed storage when the competition is handled using a geometric distribution.     

Stability analysis and controller design of interval type-2 fuzzy systems with time delay

The type-2 fuzzy models can handle the system uncertainties directly based on the type-2 fuzzy sets. In this paper, the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model approach is extended to the stability analysis and controller design for interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy systems with time-varying delay. Delay-dependent robust stability criteria are developed in terms of linear matrix inequalities by using the improvement technique of free-weighting matrices. Less conservative results are obtained by considering the information contained in the footprint of uncertainty. Finally, two simulation examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results. One is provided to show the merits of the proposed method, the other based on the continuous stirred tank reactor model is given to illustrate the design processes of IT2 fuzzy controller for a nonlinear system with parameter uncertainties.     

Profit optimisation of the multiple-vacation machine repair problem using particle swarm optimisation

This paper investigates a multiple-vacation M/M/1 warm-standby machine repair problem with an unreliable repairman. We first apply a matrix-analytic method to obtain the steady-state probabilities. Next, we construct the total expected profit per unit time and formulate an optimisation problem to find the maximum profit. The particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm is implemented to determine the optimal number of warm standbys S* and the service rate μ* as well as vacation rate ν* simultaneously at the optimal maximum profit. We compare the searching results of the PSO algorithm with those of exhaustive search method to ensure the searching quality of the PSO algorithm. Sensitivity analysis with numerical illustrations is also provided.     

Stability analysis and controller synthesis for discrete uncertain singular fuzzy systems with distinct difference matrices in the rules

This paper mainly studies an extended discrete singular fuzzy model incorporating the multiple difference matrices in the rules and discusses its stability and design issues. By embracing additional algebraic constraint, traditional discrete Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model can be extended to a generalised discrete singular Takagi-Sugeno (GDST-S) model with individual difference matrices E_i in the locally singular models, where it can describe a larger class of physical or non-linear systems. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, we focus on deriving some explicit stability and design criteria expressed by the LMIs for the regarded system. Thus, the stability verification and controller synthesis can be performed by the current LMI tools. Finally, some illustrative examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed approach.     

Constructing and applying higher order textons: Estimating breast cancer risk

Texture analysis based on textons is extended by introducing a method for computing textons of arbitrary order. First-, second- and third-order textons are applied to classify screening mammograms as to indicate a low or high risk of breast cancer. First-order textons are found to provide better estimates of breast cancer risk than other orders on their own but the combination of first- and second-order textons outperforms first-order textons alone and other combinations of two orders. Combining all three orders of textons does not improve classification. This example indicates that including higher-order textons has the potential to improve classification performance.
