Selective maintenance is performed on systems with limited break time to improve the success of the next mission. In general, the duration of the mission is stochastic. However, existing studies rarely take into account system availability and the repairpersons with different skill levels. To solve this problem, a new multi-mission selective maintenance and repairpersons assignment model with stochastic duration of the mission are developed. To maximize the minimum phase-mission reliability while meeting the minimum system availability, the model is transformed into an optimization problem subject to limited maintenance resources. The optimization is then realized using an analytical method based on a self-programming function and a Monte Carlo simulation method, respectively. Finally, the validity of the model and solution method approaches are verified by numerical arithmetic examples. Comparative and sensitivity analyses are made to provide proven recommendations for decision-makers.展开更多

A multi-type ant system（MTAS） algorithm hybridized with the ant colony system（ACS）and the max-min ant system（MMAS） algorithms is proposed. This combination absorbs the merits of the two algorithms in solutions construction and optimization separately. In order to improve the efficiency of the insertion procedure, a nearest neighbor selection（NNS） mechanism, an insertion local search procedure and a local optimization procedure are specified in detail. And in order to find a balance between good scouting performance and fast convergence rate, an adaptive pheromone updating strategy is proposed in the MTAS. Computational results confirm the MTAS algorithm＇s good performance with all these strategies on classic vehicle routing problem with time windows（VRPTW） benchmark instances and the TDVRPTW instances, and some better results especially for the number of vehicles and travel times of the best solutions are obtained in comparison with the previous research.展开更多

文摘When performing tasks,unmanned clusters often face a variety of strategy choices.One of the key issues in unmanned cluster tasks is the method through which to design autonomous collaboration and cooperative evolution mechanisms that allow for unmanned clusters to maximize their overall task effective-ness under the condition of strategic diversity.This paper ana-lyzes these task requirements from three perspectives:the diver-sity of the decision space,information network construction,and the autonomous collaboration mechanism.Then,this paper pro-poses a method for solving the problem of strategy selection diversity under two network structures.Next,this paper presents a Moran-rule-based evolution dynamics model for unmanned cluster strategies and a vision-driven-mechanism-based evolu-tion dynamics model for unmanned cluster strategy in the con-text of strategy selection diversity according to various unmanned cluster application scenarios.Finally,this paper pro-vides a simulation analysis of the effects of relevant parameters such as the payoff factor and cluster size on cooperative evolu-tion in autonomous cluster collaboration for the two types of models.On this basis,this paper presents advice for effectively addressing diverse choices in unmanned cluster tasks,thereby providing decision support for practical applications of unmanned cluster tasks.

文摘With the application of hypervelocity weapons in warfare,comprehensively evaluating their destructive effects is of particular interest for protective engineering.Existing studies mostly focused on the depth of penetration by hypervelocity projectile,while investigation on stress waves associated with hypervelocity penetration was very limited.To clarify the generation and propagation of stress waves in concrete targets induced by hypervelocity projectile penetration,in the present study,six spherical projectile penetration tests on concrete targets were firstly conducted with projectile velocity ranged from 1875 m/s to 3940 m/s,in which the stress waves were carefully measured by the PVDF transducers.Then corresponding numerical models were developed and validated,and based on the validated numerical model the mechanisms of generation and propagation of stress waves were clarified.It was found that the stress waves observed during hypervelocity penetration are generated by the continuous interactions of projectile and target during penetration,and have unique characteristics such as the directionality and the"two peaks"phenomenon when compared with the stress waves generated by charge explosion.Finally,the effects of projectile velocity,projectile material,and target strength on the stress waves below the penetration depth we re numerically investigated,and two important indexes for evaluating the stress waves by hypervelocity penetration were proposed.

文摘Concrete material model plays an important role in numerical predictions of its dynamic responses subjected to projectile impact and charge explosion.Current concrete material models could be distinguished into two kinds,i.e.,the hydro-elastoplastic-damage model with independent equation of state and the cap-elastoplastic-damage model with continuous cap surface.The essential differences between the two kind models are vital for researchers to choose an appropriate kind of concrete material model for their concerned problems,while existing studies have contradictory conclusions.To resolve this issue,the constitutive theories of the two kinds of models are firstly overviewed.Then,the constitutive theories between the two kinds of models are comprehensively compared and the main similarities and differences are clarified,which are demonstrated by single element numerical examples.Finally,numerical predictions for projectile penetration and charge explosion experiments on concrete targets are compared to further demonstrate the conclusion made by constitutive comparison.It is found that both the two kind models could be used to simulate the dynamic responses of concrete under projectile impact and blast loadings,if the parameter needed in material models are well calibrated,although some discrepancies between them may exist.

文摘The internal and external flow fields during vented explosions of methane were characterized through numerical simulation,and the capability of numerical simulation thereof was validated by previous experimental data at three ignition positions.The venting mechanism was revealed by the simulated concentration distribution,temperature profile,and airflow velocity.The results show rear ignition results in the external methane mass distribution taking the form of"mushroom"and columnar flames in the external space,which can be expressed as a third-order polynomial relationship with distance;central ignition forms a relationship of the form y=AxB.Front ignition causes the temperature to show a tendency to repeated oscillations(rising,falling,and rising).Central ignition generates the maximum vented airflow velocity(V_(max)=320 m/s)upon vent opening.The results indicate that it is acceptable to apply numerical simulation of methane explosions in practice.

文摘Expanded polystyrene(EPS)concrete,known for its environmental friendliness,energy absorption capacity,and low impedance,has significant potential application in the fields of wave absorption and vibration reduction.This study designed and prepared EPS concrete materials with four levels of density.Quasi-static uniaxial compression and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar(SHPB)impact tests were conducted to obtain stress-strain curves,elastic moduli,failure modes,energy absorptions,and strain rate effects of the EPS concrete under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions.The influences of density on various performance indicators were analyzed.By combining the Zhu-Wang-Tang(ZWT)constitutive model with a modified elastic-brittle model,a modified dynamic constitutive model was proposed.The accuracy of the model was validated by the experimental data.The results indicate that the addition of EPS particles enhances the ductility of the EPS concrete.The EPS concrete has significant strain rate effect,which gets stronger as density increases.The modifiedconstitutive model accurately characterizes the dynamic stress-strain curves of the EPS concrete.

文摘Aiming at addressing the issues of unclear dynamic response mechanisms and insufficient quantification of temperature coupling effects in building structures under long-duration blast loads,this study investigates typical composite beam-slab structures through integrated blast shock tube experiments and multiscale numerical simulations using Voronoi-coupled Finite-Discrete Element Method(VoroFDEM).The research systematically reveals the dynamic response mechanisms and damage evolution patterns of composite beam-slab structures subjected to prolonged blast loading.An environmenttemperature-coupled P-I curve damage assessment system is established,and a rapid evaluation method based on image crack characteristics is proposed,achieving innovative transition from traditional mechanical indicators to intelligent recognition paradigms.Results demonstrate that composite beam-slab structures exhibit three-phase failure modes:elastic vibration,plastic hinge formation,and global collapse.Numerical simulations identify the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature threshold at-10℃,and establish a temperature-dependent piecewise function-based P-I curve prediction model,whose overpressure asymptote displays nonlinear temperature sensitivity within-50-30℃.A novel dual-mode evaluation methodology integrating Voro-FDEM numerical simulations with image-based damage feature recognition is developed,enabling quantitative mapping between crack area and destruction levels.These findings provide theoretical foundations and technical pathways for rapid blast damage assessment and protective engineering design.

文摘The compression and energy absorption properties of foam geopolymers increase stress wave attenuation under explosion impacts,reducing the vibration effect on the structure.Explosion tests were conducted using several composite structure models,including a concrete lining structure(CLS)without foam geopolymer and six foam geopolymer composite structures(FGCS)with different backfill parameters,to study the dynamic response and wave dissipation mechanisms of FGCS under explosive loading.Pressure,strain,and vibration responses at different locations were synchronously tested.The damage modes and dynamic responses of different models were compared,and how wave elimination and energy absorption efficiencies were affected by foam geopolymer backfill parameters was analyzed.The results showed that the foam geopolymer absorbed and dissipated the impact energy through continuous compressive deformation under high strain rates and dynamic loading,reducing the strain in the liner structure by 52%and increasing the pressure attenuation rate by 28%.Additionally,the foam geopolymer backfill reduced structural vibration and liner deformation,with the FGCS structure showing 35%less displacement and 70%less acceleration compared to the CLS.The FGCS model with thicker,less dense foam geopolymer backfill,having more pores and higher porosity,demonstrated better compression and energy absorption under dynamic impact,increasing stress wave attenuation efficiency.By analyzing the stress wave propagation and the compression characteristics of the porous medium,it was concluded that the stress transfer ratio of FGCS-ρ-579 was 77%lower than that of CLS,and the transmitted wave energy was 90%lower.The results of this study provide a scientific basis for optimizing underground composite structure interlayer parameters.

文摘In decades,the battlefield environment is becoming more and more complex with plenty of electronic equipments.Thus,in order to improve the survivability of radar sensors and satisfy the requirement of maneuvering target tracking with a low probability of intercept,a non-myopic scheduling is proposed to minimize the radiation cost with tracking accuracy constraint.At first,the scheduling problem is formulated as a partially observable Markov decision process(POMDP).Then the tracking accuracy and radiation cost over the future finite time horizon are predicted by the posterior carmer-rao lower bound(PCRLB) and the hidden Markov model filter,respectively.Finally,the proposed scheduling is implemented efficiently by utilizing the branch and bound(B&B) pruning algorithm.Simulation results show that the performance of maneuvering target tracking was improved by the improved interacting multiple model(IMM),and the scheduler time and maximum memory consumption were significant reduced by the present B&B pruning algorithm without losing the optimal solution.

文摘This paper presents a model of fatigue crack growth in a welded joint and a two-dimensional model of anodic dissolution based on Donahue model and anodic dissolution mechanism,respectively.In addition,a model for predicting the corrosion fatigue crack growth rate in welded joints of steel marine structures is established and crack growth mechanisms are analyzed.The results show that during early stages of crack growth,corrosion fatigue crack growth rate in welded joints is mainly controlled by corrosion action,whereas cyclic loading becomes more influential during the later stage of crack propagation.Loading frequency and effective stress ratio can affect rupture period of protective film at the corrosion fatigue crack tip and the length of corrosion crack increment,respectively,which changes the influence of corrosion action on crack growth rate.However,the impact of stress amplitude on crack growth rate is only significant when crack propagation is caused by cyclic loading.Welding residual stress not only improves the effective stress ratio of cyclic loading,but also promotes crack closure and increases corrosion fatigue crack growth rate in welded joints.Compared to corrosion action,welding residual stress has a more significant influence on crack growth caused by cyclic loading.

文摘Infrared target intrusion detection has significant applications in the fields of military defence and intelligent warning.In view of the characteristics of intrusion targets as well as inspection difficulties,an infrared target intrusion detection algorithm based on feature fusion and enhancement was proposed.This algorithm combines static target mode analysis and dynamic multi-frame correlation detection to extract infrared target features at different levels.Among them,LBP texture analysis can be used to effectively identify the posterior feature patterns which have been contained in the target library,while motion frame difference method can detect the moving regions of the image,improve the integrity of target regions such as camouflage,sheltering and deformation.In order to integrate the advantages of the two methods,the enhanced convolutional neural network was designed and the feature images obtained by the two methods were fused and enhanced.The enhancement module of the network strengthened and screened the targets,and realized the background suppression of infrared images.Based on the experiments,the effect of the proposed method and the comparison method on the background suppression and detection performance was evaluated,and the results showed that the SCRG and BSF values of the method in this paper had a better performance in multiple data sets,and it’s detection performance was far better than the comparison algorithm.The experiment results indicated that,compared with traditional infrared target detection methods,the proposed method could detect the infrared invasion target more accurately,and suppress the background noise more effectively.
文摘The time dependent vehicle routing problem with time windows（TDVRPTW） is considered. A multi-type ant system（MTAS） algorithm hybridized with the ant colony system（ACS）and the max-min ant system（MMAS） algorithms is proposed. This combination absorbs the merits of the two algorithms in solutions construction and optimization separately. In order to improve the efficiency of the insertion procedure, a nearest neighbor selection（NNS） mechanism, an insertion local search procedure and a local optimization procedure are specified in detail. And in order to find a balance between good scouting performance and fast convergence rate, an adaptive pheromone updating strategy is proposed in the MTAS. Computational results confirm the MTAS algorithm＇s good performance with all these strategies on classic vehicle routing problem with time windows（VRPTW） benchmark instances and the TDVRPTW instances, and some better results especially for the number of vehicles and travel times of the best solutions are obtained in comparison with the previous research.
