Scientifically evaluating the stability of surrounding rock mass under such conditions is fundamental for predicting and preventing related hazards. This study combines laboratory dynamic disturbance tests with numerical simulations to analyze changes in the three-dimensional stress state of surrounding rock caused by stress waves. It was found that stress waves not only alter the magnitude of unit stresses but also cause rotation of the principal stress axes. Based on the failure approach index(FAI), a new dynamic response evaluation index for brittle surrounding rock—the Energy Hazard Index(FAI_(E)) is proposed from an energy perspective. This index can derive functional expressions based on different strength criteria, offering good extensibility. Using the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion as an example, the specific functional expression of FAI_(E) is provided. Comparison with experimental results confirms that the evaluation outcomes align with the dynamic response characteristics of surrounding rock mass, simultaneously considering both tensile and shear failure modes. Parameter sensitivity tests demonstrate the applicability of the index under complex conditions. Furthermore, the relationship between FAIE and commonly used dynamic disturbance evaluation parameters—such as Peak Particle Velocity(PPV)—has been examined, demonstrating that FAIE provides a more accurate and direct assessment of stability. Finally, a rapid engineering application method for FAIE is presented. The research findings hold significant importance for future stability evaluation and support design of surrounding rock in deep underground engineering projects.展开更多

The models are based on energy dissipation during average of cycles, cycles to crack propagation and total cycles to failure. Plastic strain energy per cycle was determined and found as an important characteristic for initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks for high-strength structural steels. Fatigue strain-life curves were generated using plastic energy dissipation per cycle (loop area) and compared with the Coffin-Manson relation. Low cycle fatigue life was found similar from both methods. The material showed Masing-type behavior. The cyclic hysterisis energy per cycle was calculated from cyclic stress-strain parameters. The fracture surfaces of the fatigue samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope and the fracture mechanisms were discussed.展开更多

The proposed procedure is verified using four frames, viz., frame with three-, five-, seven- and nine-stories, each of which is subjected to the fault- normal and fault-parallel components of three actual earthquakes. A very good estimate for the three- and five-story frames, and a reasonably acceptable estimate for the seven-, and nine-story frames, have been obtained. A method for distributing the hysteretic energy over the frame height is also proposed. This distribution scheme allows for the determination of the energy demand component of a proposed energy-based seismic design （EBSD） procedure for each story. To address the capacity component of EBSD, a story-wise optimization design procedure is developed by utilizing the energy dissipating capacity from plastic hinge formation/rotation for these moment frames. The proposed EBSD procedure is demonstrated in the design of a three-story one-bay steel moment frame.展开更多

In addition to having such typical nonlinear underactuated property, as it is well known, an offshore ship-mounted crane also suffers from much unexpected persistent disturbances induced by sea waves or currents, which, essentially different from an overhead crane fixed on land, cause much difficulty in modeling and controller design. Inspired by the desire to achieve appropriate control performance against those challenging factors, in this paper, through carefully analyzing the inherent mechanism of the nonlinear dynamics, we first construct a new composite signal to enhance the coupling behavior of the trolley motion as well as the payload swing in the presence of ship′s roll motion disturbance. Based on which, an energy-based coupling control law is presented to achieve asymptotic stability of the crane control system′s equilibrium point. Without any linearization of the complex nonlinear dynamics, unlike traditional feedback controllers, the proposed control law takes a much simpler structure independent of the system parameters. To support the theoretical derivations and to further verify the actual control performance, Lyapunov-based mathematical analysis as well as numerical simulation/experimental results are carried out, which clarify the feasibility and superior performance of the proposed method over complicated disturbances.展开更多

Reduced hysteretic properties of structural components due to combined stiffness and strength degradation and pinching effects, and hysteretic damping are taken into account in a simple manner by utilizing plastic energy and seismic input energy modification factors. Having a pre-selected yield mechanism, energy balance of structure in inelastic range is considered. P-delta effects are included in derived equation by adding the external work of gravity loads to the work of equivalent inertia forces and equating the total external work to the modified plastic energy. Earthquake energy input to multi degree of freedom（MDOF） system is approximated by using the modal energy-decomposition. Energybased base shear coefficients are verified by means of both pushover analysis and nonlinear time history（NLTH） analysis of several RC frames having different number of stories. NLTH analyses of frames are performed by using the time histories of ten scaled ground motions compatible with elastic design acceleration spectrum and fulfilling duration/amplitude related requirements of Turkish Seismic Design Code. The observed correlation between energy-based base shear force coefficients and the average base shear force coefficients of NLTH analyses provides a reasonable confidence in estimation of nonlinear base shear force capacity of frames by using the derived equation.展开更多

We first investigate the sensor model and derive the formula of the steady-state probability when there are a number of data packets in different sensor modes. We then determine important sensor’s performance measures in terms of energy consumptions, average data delay and throughput. The novelty of this paper is in its development of a stochastic model in WSN with active/sleep feature and the explicit results obtained for above mentioned energy consumption and performance characteristics. These results are expected to be useful as the fundamental results in the theoretical analysis and design of various hybrid WSNs with power mode consideration.展开更多

While these industries benefit significantly from technological advancements, they also face challenges such as credit card fraud, the most prevalent type of financial fraud. Each year, such fraud leads to billions of dollars in losses for banks, financial institutions, and customers. Although many machine learning (ML) and, more recently, deep learning (DL) solutions have been developed to address this issue, most fail to strike an effective balance between speed and performance. Moreover, the reluctance of financial institutions to disclose their fraud datasets due to reputational risks adds further challenges. This study proposes a predictive model for credit card fraud detection that leverages the unique strengths of Energy-based Restricted Boltzmann Machines (EB-RBM) and Extended Long Short-Term Memory (xLSTM) models. EB-RBM is utilized for its ability to detect new and previously unseen fraudulent patterns, while xLSTM focuses on identifying known fraud types. These models are integrated using an ensemble approach to combine their strengths, achieving a balanced and reliable prediction system. The ensemble employs a bootstrap max-voting mechanism, assigning equal voting rights to EB-RBM and xLSTM, followed by result normalization and aggregation to classify transactions as fraudulent or genuine. The model’s performance is evaluated using metrics such as AUC-ROC, AUC-PR, precision, recall, F1-score, confusion matrix, and elapsed time. Experimental results on a real-world European cardholder dataset demonstrate that the proposed approach effectively balances speed and performance, outperforming recent models in the field.展开更多

The analysis was incorporated into an energy-based elasto-plastic constitutive model for sand to develop a stress path-independent work-hardening parameter based on the modified plastic strain energy concept. Numerical results indicate that the global stress-strain relations of sand specimens are reinforced by using relatively flexible and rigid reinforcement, and an unreinforced sand specimen can be reasonably simulated by the current finite element method. It is also found that the reinforcing mechanism and progressive failure with a development of shear bands in reinforced sand can be reasonably examined by the finite element method.展开更多

文摘Self-centering systems exhibit superior performance during earthquake shaking with lower damage and less resid-ual deformations.Although the equivalent static force design procedure is the commonly used one for most structural systems for seismic applications,the cumulative damage and the effective duration of earthquakes cannot be explicitly considered,which has significantly affected the behaviors and post-earthquake performance of self-centering systems.Energy-based design theory(EBDT),which introduces the energy demand as the crit-ical parameter to establish relations with structural damage,has gained attention around the world in recent decades.The EBDT can provide comprehensive considerations for structural responses and damage in design procedures,especially for self-centering systems.However,few researches and actual energy design projects fo-cus on the use of EBDT for self-centering systems.This paper intends to present thorough review of several critical issues in EBDT.Meanwhile,pivotal gaps that need to be further investigated towards the application of EBDT to self-centering systems are identified and discussed in the paper.

文摘Methane hydrates(MHs)play important roles in the fields of chemistry,energy,environmental sciences,etc.In this work,we employ the generalized energy-based fragmentation(GEBF)approach to compute the binding energies and Raman spectra of various MH clusters.For the GEBF binding energies of various MH clusters,we first evaluated the various functionals of density functional theory(DFT),and compared them with the results of explicitly correlated combined coupled-cluster singles and doubles with noniterative triples corrections[CCSD(T)(F12^(*))]method.Our results show that the two best functionals are B3PW91-D3 and B97D,with mean absolute errors of only 0.27 and 0.47 kcal/mol,respectively.Then we employed GEBF-B3PW91-D3 to obtain the structures and Raman spectra of MH clusters with mono-and double-cages.Our results show that the B3PW91-D3 functional can well reproduce the experimental C-H stretching Raman spectra of methane in MH crystals,with errors less than 3 cm^(-1).As the size of the water cages increased,the C-H stretching Raman spectra exhibited a redshift,which is also in agreement with the experimental“loose cage-tight cage”model.In addition,the Raman spectra are only slightly affected by the neighboring environment(cages)of methane.The blueshifts of C-H stretching frequencies are no larger than 3 cm^(-1) for CH_(4) from monocages to doublecages.The Raman spectra of the MH clusters could be combined with the experimental Raman spectra to investigate the structures of methane hydrates in the ocean bottom or in the interior of interstellar icy bodies.Based on the B3PW91-D3 or B97D functional and machine learning models,molecular dynamics simulations could be applied to the nucleation and growth mechanisms,and the phase transitions of methane hydrates.
文摘This paper conducts a comparative study on seismic damage to reinforced concrete(RC)bridges,using three damage models:Park and Ang,Hindi and Sexsmith,and input energy-based damage(IEBD)indices,and presents a global cumulative damage model based on the IEBD index to establish a practical damage assessment of an overall bridge system.A series of RC bridges are studied under seismic loadings,and to compare the efficiency and reliability of the damage indices,damage curves of RC piers are developed,and damage levels of piers are calculated at design basis earthquake(DBE)and maximum considered earthquake(MCE)levels.The global cumulative damage index is calculated for bridge models regarding damage values of components.The results indicate that the IEBD index shows a gradual progression of damage and provides reasonable values for different damage levels of piers compared to two other damage indices.Moreover,the global cumulative damage index shows the impact of induced damage to a certain component regarding the damage level of the overall bridge system.Moreover,this new approach is a relatively simple and practical tool for seismic damage assessment of RC bridge systems,which can be implemented in finite element models,particularly in the absence of experimental data.
文摘We propose an energy-based stochastic model of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where each sensor node is randomly and alternatively in an active and a sleep mode. We first investigate the sensor model and derive the formula of the steady-state probability when there are a number of data packets in different sensor modes. We then determine important sensor’s performance measures in terms of energy consumptions, average data delay and throughput. The novelty of this paper is in its development of a stochastic model in WSN with active/sleep feature and the explicit results obtained for above mentioned energy consumption and performance characteristics. These results are expected to be useful as the fundamental results in the theoretical analysis and design of various hybrid WSNs with power mode consideration.

文摘The rapid growth of technology impacts all aspects of modern life, including banking and financial transactions. While these industries benefit significantly from technological advancements, they also face challenges such as credit card fraud, the most prevalent type of financial fraud. Each year, such fraud leads to billions of dollars in losses for banks, financial institutions, and customers. Although many machine learning (ML) and, more recently, deep learning (DL) solutions have been developed to address this issue, most fail to strike an effective balance between speed and performance. Moreover, the reluctance of financial institutions to disclose their fraud datasets due to reputational risks adds further challenges. This study proposes a predictive model for credit card fraud detection that leverages the unique strengths of Energy-based Restricted Boltzmann Machines (EB-RBM) and Extended Long Short-Term Memory (xLSTM) models. EB-RBM is utilized for its ability to detect new and previously unseen fraudulent patterns, while xLSTM focuses on identifying known fraud types. These models are integrated using an ensemble approach to combine their strengths, achieving a balanced and reliable prediction system. The ensemble employs a bootstrap max-voting mechanism, assigning equal voting rights to EB-RBM and xLSTM, followed by result normalization and aggregation to classify transactions as fraudulent or genuine. The model’s performance is evaluated using metrics such as AUC-ROC, AUC-PR, precision, recall, F1-score, confusion matrix, and elapsed time. Experimental results on a real-world European cardholder dataset demonstrate that the proposed approach effectively balances speed and performance, outperforming recent models in the field.

文摘Topology optimization stands as a pivotal technique in realizing periodic microstructure design.A novel approach is proposed,integrating the energy-based homogenization method with the Floating Projection Topology Optimization(FPTO)method to achieve smooth topology design.The objective is to optimize the periodic microstructure to maximize the properties of specific materials,such as bulk modulus and shear modulus,or to achieve negative Poisson's ratio.Linear material interpolation is used to eliminate the nonlinear challenges and design dependence caused by material penalty.Furthermore,the three-field density representation technique is applied to augment length scales and solid/void characteristics.Through systematic analysis and numerical simulations,the impacts of various initial designs and optimization parameters on the optimization outcomes are investigated.The results demonstrate that the optimized periodic microstructures exhibit extreme performance with clear boundaries.The identification of appropriate optimization parameters is crucial for enhancing the extreme mechanical properties of material microstructures.It can provide valuable guidance for aerospace component design involving material microstructures and metamaterials.

文摘Fracability evaluation is critical for efficiently extracting deep shale gas using hydraulic fracturing to avoid blind drilling and fracking.However,existing fracability indices often fail to systematically consider the mechanical behavior of rocks at high temperatures and high pressures(HTHP),coupled with geostress distributions and heterogeneous reservoir characteristics.This critical omission limits their effectiveness in accurately identifying the optimal fracability sweet spots within deep reservoirs.In this work,a fracability evaluation model was proposed based on the combined weighting method,integrating the improved brittleness index,rock strength,geostresses and natural weakness characteristics.A fracability grading evaluation was carried out to determine the potential fracture characteristics corresponding to shales with different fracability levels.Additionally,the fracability index was used for field validation and applications.Results show that rock brittleness and fracability are not equivalent for deep reservoirs.The fracability index is closely related to the pay zones and actual gas production,with a correlation as high as 84%,implying that the proposed method has practical significance in both experimental and field applications.The above findings can provide theoretical guidance for the selection of fracturing candidates and the optimal design of fracturing in deep resource development.
文摘Rockburst is a kind of artificial earthquake induced by human activities,such as mining excavations.The mechanism of rockburst induced by mining disturbance is revealed in terms of energy in this context.For understanding the rockburst mechanism,two necessary conditions for the occurrence of rockburst are presented:(1)the rock mass has the capability to store huge amount of energy and possesses a strong bumping-prone characteristic when damaged;and(2)the geological conditions in the mining area have favorable geo-stress environments that can form high-stress concentration area and accumulate huge energy.These two conditions are also the basic criteria for prediction of rockburst.In view of energy analysis,it is observed that artificial and natural earthquakes have similar regularities in many aspects,such as the relationship between the energy value and burst magnitude.By using the relationship between energy and magnitude of natural earthquake,rockburst is predicted by disturbance energy analysis.A practical example is illustrated using the above-mentioned theorem and technique to predict rockburst in a gold mine in China.Finally,the prevention and control techniques of rockburst are also provided based on the knowledge of the rockburst mechanism.

文摘In order to investigate the deformation and failure of reinforced sand, and the reinforcing mechanism of flexible and rigid reinforcement, a set of plane strain compression tests of dense Toyoura reinforced sand with planar reinforcement of a wide range of stiffness were analysed by a nonlinear finite element method. The analysis was incorporated into an energy-based elasto-plastic constitutive model for sand to develop a stress path-independent work-hardening parameter based on the modified plastic strain energy concept. Numerical results indicate that the global stress-strain relations of sand specimens are reinforced by using relatively flexible and rigid reinforcement, and an unreinforced sand specimen can be reasonably simulated by the current finite element method. It is also found that the reinforcing mechanism and progressive failure with a development of shear bands in reinforced sand can be reasonably examined by the finite element method.
