Using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), a mathematical model of a multi-objective assessment of a long span suspension bridge is set up. An example is given to show the procedure in the synthetical condition assessment of the Runyang Suspension Bridge, which includes the hierarchical division, the definition of factor weights and fuzzy membership functions, and the calculation of closeness degrees, etc. The assessment combines both the data from the health monitoring system and the manual tests. The classification of evaluation items as well as the calculation of deterministic and nondeterministic items is presented. Compared with the traditional method of point rating, this method can better describe the discreteness of monitoring data and the fuzziness in the condition assessment.展开更多

It is crucial to establish a scientific system of evaluation indexes to guarantee the closeness between strategy and project portfolio allocation optimally. With organizations growing in sizes, the functions and objectives of project components are becoming more and more different. It is necessary to set evaluation indexes of the degree of closeness from the perspectives of financial, market share, social effects, and so on according to the strategy-oriented process of project portfolio allocation. This paper proposes a project portfolio allocation process under strategic orientation and evaluation indexes of the degree of closeness between strategy and project portfolio allocation. This will help projects managers make portfolio allocation decisions.展开更多

However, making efficient use of substrate resources requires effective techniques for embedding virtual networks: mapping virtual nodes and virtual edges onto substrate networks. Previous research has presented several heuristic algorithms, which fail to consider that the attributes of the substrate topology and virtual net- works affect the embedding process. In this paper, for the first time, we introduce complex network centrality analysis into the virtual network embedding, and propose virtual network embedding algorithms based on closeness centrality. Due to considering of the attributes of nodes and edges in the topology, our studies are more reasonable than existing work. In addition, with the guidance of topology quantitative evalua- tion, the proposed network embedding approach largely improves the network utilization efficiency and decreases the embedding complexity. We also investigate our algorithms on real network topologies (e.g., AT&T, DFN) and random network topologies. Experimental results demonstrate the usability and capability of the proposed approach.展开更多

Analyses of longitudinal data collected from 341 employees in three Chinese automobile manufacturing companies demonstrate that employees' psychological ownership is negatively related to their turnover intention. As well, territoriality is negatively related to turnover intention and mediates the relationship between psychological ownership and turnover intention. Additionally, work relationship closeness moderates the relationship between territoriality and turnover intention such that the negative relationship is stronger when employees experience a higher level of work relationship closeness. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.展开更多

文摘A new model of periodic structure is proposed and analyzed.This structure is composed of an inner fluid-conveying pipe with periodic material arrangement carrying periodic arrays of outer cantilever pipes.The generalized differential quadrature rule(GDQR)method combined with the Bloch theorem is used to calculate the vibration band gaps of the structure.Results are verified by the forced vibration responses obtained using the GDQR method.Results indicate that the first two band gaps of the fluid-conveying pipe with periodic material arrangement can get close to each other and move to low frequency regions by changing the length of cantilever pipes.For high fluid velocity values in which the first band gap starts from zero frequency,since the second band is very close to the first band,this periodic structure can be used for vibration reduction over a wide band gap starting from zero frequency.Based on these results,it can be concluded that instead of increasing the total size of the periodic structure,these periodic arrays of cantilever pipes can be implemented to create a wide ultra-low-frequency band gap.Finally,verification of the GDQR method shows that it can be used as a precise numerical method for vibration analysis of the structures such as fluid-conveying pipes and moving belts.

文摘In the aerospace sector,the soft magnetic materials of Hermetically Sealed Electromagnetic Relays(HSERs)are critical in forming magnetic circuits.Conventional soft magnetic materials,primarily magnetic iron,have been unable to meet the development trend of fast-response,miniaturized,and lightweight aerospace and aviation systems.This paper applies circuit theory and electromagnetics theory to establish a Field-Circuit Coupling Mathematical Model(FCCMM)for dynamic response analysis of HSERs.This model centers on inductance calculation,with the core's permeability and saturation magnetic flux density as critical parameters.Based on this model,for a specific type of HSER,this paper introduced three alloys with key parameters different from magnetic iron,then tested the magnetic characteristic curves of these four soft magnetic materials,followed by simulations to obtain the electromagnetic characteristics of digital mock-ups corresponding to these four materials,compared and validated the dynamic responses corresponding to these four soft magnetic materials finally.Based on the theoretical model analysis results,this paper designed a lightweight coil to minimize response time,made prototypes,set up test systems,and tested dynamic characteristics.The experimental results indicate that the nanocrystalline alloy1K107B exhibits the most significant optimization,reducing the closing time by 40.48%and achieving a weight reduction of 6.53%.
文摘The advantages of sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)for large-scale energy storage are well known.Among possible anode materials,hard carbon(HC)stands out as the most viable commercial option because of its superior performance.However,there is still disagreement regarding the sodium storage mechanism in the low-voltage plateau region of HC anodes,and the structure-performance relationship between its complex multiscale micro/nanostructure and electrochemical behavior remains unclear.This paper summarizes current research progress and the major problems in understanding HC’s microstructure and sodium storage mechanism,and the relationship between them.Findings about a universal sodium storage mechanism in HC,including predictions about micropore-capacity relationships,and the opportunities and challenges for using HC anodes in commercial SIBs are presented.

文摘The demand for high-energy-density sodium-ion batteries has driven research to increase the hard carbon(HC)plateau capacity(<0.1 V),but the plateau capacity-rate capability trade-off limits performance.We report a way to regulate the closed pore structure and improve the rate capability of HC by the addition of graphene oxide using an emulsification process.In a non-emulsion system,graphene oxide not only shortens ion diffusion paths by inducing the formation of flakelike HC but also significantly improves the rate performance by serving as conductive bridges within the carbon matrix.The prepared graphene/phenolic resin carbon composite has reversible capacities of 362,340,319,274,119,86,69 and 48 mAh g^(−1)at current densities of 0.02,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.5,1,2 and 5 A g^(−1),respectively.When emulsification is introduced,the graphene oxide acts as a nano-confinement template,guiding the cross-linking of phenolic resin to form uniformly sized closed pores.This composite electrode material has the highest plateau capacity of 268 mAh g^(−1)at 20 mA g^(−1).
