The reason is that its multi-loop is formed through several times of closings and there also exists motion coupling even strong coupling, where the over-constraints are concealed. However, the mobility analysis for this kind of mechanisms has been paid few attentions. A new systemic methodology for analyzing mobility is proposed for GMSMs also based on the screw theory. The key issue for mobility analysis is to recognize the over-constraint. Firstly, three theorems are given and point out： the reason and site of over-constraint occurrence, calculating the number of over-constraints by the screw theory, and how to analyze the over-constraints for a single-loop mechanism as well. Then, three closing forms for GMSMs are proposed including rigid closure, movable closure and dynamic closure, and for the three different forms the different analysis methods are also given. Especially, for the most difficult issue of GMSMs with the multi-loop Closure in many times and the inevitable motion coupling, two important methods are proposed： ＂recognizing over-constraints by analyzing relative movement＂ and ＂recognizing over-constraints by virtual loop＂. The two methods are well used to solve the issue. Above-mentioned principles are not only systematic and effective but also unified. They provide a theoretical basis for the general multi-loop spatial mechanisms.展开更多

However its range of application needs to further extend to general multi-loop spatial mechanism. This kind of mechanism is not only more complex in structure but also with strong motion coupling among loops, making the mobility analysis even more complicated, and the relevant research has long been ignored. It is focused on how to apply the new principle for general spatial mechanism to those various multi-loop spatial mechanisms, and some new meaningful knowledge is further found. Several typical examples of the genera/multi-loop spatial mechanisms with motion couple even strong motion couple are considered. These spatial mechanisms include different closing way： over-constraint appearing in rigid closure, in movable closure, and in dynamic closure as well; these examples also include two different new methods to solve this kind of issue： the way to recognize over-constraints by analyzing relative movement between two connected links and by constructing a virtual loop to recognize over-constraints. In addition, over-constraint determination tabulation is brought to analyze the motion couple. The researches above are all based upon the screw theory. All these multi-loop spatial mechanisms with different kinds of structures can completely be solved by following the directions and examples, and the new mobility theory based on the screw theory is also proved to be valid. This study not only enriches and develops the theory and makes the theory more universal, but also has a special meaning for innovation in mechanical engineering.展开更多

This has been the case irrespective of the problem definition. The most commonly applied methods are the normal constraint method and the normal boundary intersection method. The former suffers from the deficiency of an uneven Pareto set distribution in the case of vertical （or horizontal） sections in the Pareto frontier, whereas the latter suffers from a sparsely populated Pareto frontier when the optimization problem is numerically demanding （ill-conditioned）. The method proposed in this paper, coupled with a simple Pareto filter, addresses these two deficiencies to generate a uniform, globally optimal, well-populated Pareto frontier for any feasible bi-objective optimization problem. A number of examples are provided to demonstrate the performance of the algorithm.展开更多

The energy function was built for the polyline which had been converted from the curve. Based on the minimum energy curve method, the curve on the mesh was deformed. The test results show that the proposed method has good performance. Compared with the other method,shape preserving of the curve is better. Finally,this method is used for the deformation of the 3D mannequin model. Circumference changes of the mannequin model can be reflected by the arc-length change in the size of the cross section.展开更多

Where there are multiple links between different the node pairs, a traditional wavelength-assignment algorithm may be invalid for a wavelength-switched optical networks （WSON） that has directional blocking constraints. Also, impairments in network nodes and subsequent degradation of optical signals may cause modulation failure in the optical network. In this paper, we propose an RWA algorithm based on a novel evaluation model for a WSQN that has multiple constraints. The algorithm includes comprehensive evaluation model （CEM） and directional blocking constraint RWA based on CEM （DB-RWA）. Diverse constraints are abstracted into various constraint conditions in order to better assign routing and wavelength. We propose using the novel CEM to optimize routing according to an assessed value of constraints on transmission performance. This eliminates the effects of physical transmission impairments in a WSON. DB-RWA based on CEM abstracts directional blocking conditions in multiple links between network nodes into directional blocking constraints. It also satisfies rigorous network specifications and provides flexibility, scalability, and first-fit rate for the backbone, especially in multiple links between WSON nodes.展开更多
