An efficient hybrid reliability analysis method with random and interval variables

Random and interval variables often coexist. Interval variables make reliability analysis much more computationally intensive. This work develops a new hybrid reliability analysis method so that the probability analysis (PA) loop and interval analysis (IA) loop are decomposed into two separate loops. An efficient PA algorithm is employed, and a new efficient IA method is developed. The new IA method consists of two stages. The first stage is for monotonic limit-state functions. If the limit-state function is not monotonic, the second stage is triggered. In the second stage, the limit-state function is sequentially approximated with a second order form, and the gradient projection method is applied to solve the extreme responses of the limit-state function with respect to the interval variables. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method are demonstrated by three examples.     

Analysis of layer splitting in x and z-cut KTiOPO4 implanted by H+ ions

H⁺ ions with various fluences are implanted into x and z-cut KTP crystals to achieve KTP film. Post-implantation annealing under different temperature is imposed on the samples to induce layer splitting and surface morphology modification. Layer exfoliation is observed in freestanding z-cut samples. Layer splitting is obtained using bonding method in x-cut sample implanted with 117 keV H⁺ ions at ion fluence of 6 × 10¹⁶ ions/cm². Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscopy are used to observe splitting phenomenon. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy/channeling method is employed to measure lattice damage and to investigate the relationship between implantation-induced defects and layer splitting.

Retracted: Dual Effects of Nanostructuring and Oxygen Vacancy on Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation Activity of Superstructured and Defective Hematite Nanorods

An Ar atmospheric treatment is rationally used to etch and activate hematite nanoflakes (NFs) as photoanodes toward enhanced photoelectrochemical water oxidation. The formation of a highly ordered hematite nanorods (NRs) array containing a high density of oxygen vacancy is successfully prepared through in situ reduction of NFs in Ar atmosphere. Furthermore, a hematite (104) plane and an iron suboxide layer at the absorber/back‐contact interface are formed. The material defects produced by a thermal oxidation method can be critical for the morphology transformation from 2D NFs to 1D NRs. The resulting hematite NR photoanodes show high efficiency toward solar water splitting with improved light harvesting capabilities, leading to an enhanced photoresponse due to the artificially formed oxygen vacancies.

高脉冲重复频率雷达混合滤波解距离模糊方法

针对高脉冲重复雷达距离模糊问题,提出一种新的混合滤波解距离模糊方法.通过把脉冲间隔数和脉冲间隔变化量作为目标待估计状态,对离散的脉冲间隔数、间隔变化量和连续的目标状态(位置和速度)进行混合滤波,从而将解距离模糊问题转换为对脉冲间隔数的估计问题.初始时刻,由于距离量测模糊,利用多个高脉冲重复频率(HPRF)采用欧氏距离对混合状态进行初始化.在滤波过程中,为了避免门限选择,首先根据脉冲间隔变化量的有限个离散取值,将六维向量的混合滤波模型等效为有限个五维向量的混合滤波模型;然后对量测分别进行混合滤波;最后通过对各模型得到的新息的2范数进行比较获得混合状态估计,从而实现解距离模糊.混合滤波解距离模糊方法为实现高脉冲重复频率雷达实时解距离模糊提供了一种新的研究思路,仿真结果表明,本文提出的混合滤波方法在只有一个脉冲重复频率获得目标量测时较现有多假设方法收敛速度快,并且可以克服多假设方法在脉冲间隔数变化时发生的解模糊错误.     

A compact split-step finite difference method for solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equations with constant and variable coefficients

We propose a compact split-step finite difference method to solve the nonlinear Schrödinger equations with constant and variable coefficients. This method improves the accuracy of split-step finite difference method by introducing a compact scheme for discretization of space variable while this improvement does not reduce the stability range and does not increase the computational cost. This method also preserves some conservation laws. Numerical tests are presented to confirm the theoretical results for the new numerical method by using the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with constant and variable coefficients and Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

A Kharitonov‐like theorem for robust stability independent of delay of interval quasipolynomials

In this paper, a Kharitonov‐like theorem is proved for testing robust stability independent of delay of interval quasipolynomials, p(s)+∑eq_k(s), where p and q_k's are interval polynomials with uncertain coefficients. It is shown that the robust stability test of the quasipolynomial basically reduces to the stability test of a set of Kharitonov‐like vertex quasipolynomials, where stability is interpreted as stability independent of delay. As discovered in (IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 2008; 53 :1219–1234), the well‐known vertex‐type robust stability result reported in (IMA J. Math. Contr. Info. 1988; 5 :117–123) (See also (IEEE Trans. Circ. Syst. 1990; 37 (7):969–972; Proc. 34th IEEE Conf. Decision Contr., New Orleans, LA, December 1995; 392–394) does contain a flaw. An alternative approach is proposed in (IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 2008; 53 :1219–1234), and both frequency sweeping and vertex type robust stability tests are developed for quasipolynomials with polytopic coefficient uncertainties. Under a specific assumption, it is shown in (IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 2008; 53 :1219–1234) that robust stability independent of delay of an interval quasipolynomial can be reduced to stability independent of delay of a set of Kharitonov‐like vertex quasipolynomials. In this paper, we show that the assumption made in (IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 2008; 53 :1219–1234) is redundant, and the Kharitonov‐like result reported in (IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 2008; 53 :1219–1234) is true without any additional assumption, and can be applied to all quasipolynomials. The key idea used in (IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 2008; 53 :1219–1234) was the equivalence of Hurwitz stability and ?_‐o‐stability for interval polynomials with constant term never equal to zero. This simple observation implies that the well‐known Kharitonov theorem for Hurwitz stability can be applied for ?_‐o‐stability, provided that the constant term of the interval polynomial never vanishes. However, this line of approach is based on a specific assumption, which we call the CNF‐assumption. In this paper, we follow a different approach: First, robust ?_‐o‐stability problem is studied in a more general framework, including the cases where degree drop is allowed, and the constant term as well as other higher‐orders terms can vanish. Then, generalized Kharitonov‐like theorems are proved for ?_‐o‐stability, and inspired by the techniques used in (IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 2008; 53 :1219–1234), it is shown that robust stability independent of delay of an interval quasipolynomial can be reduced to stability independent of delay of a set of Kharitonov‐like vertex quasipolynomials, even if the assumption adopted in (IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 2008; 53 :1219–1234) is not satisfied. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
