From the time series, non-linear motions are found. With spectral analysis method, the variation frequency （annual period and semi-annual period） of the site velocity is found. Moreover, the empirical model of the velocity variation of the station has been established by regression analysis method based on the weekly solution coordinate series of the station. With respect to the velocity of the IGS tracking station, it was better to model the variation periodically or to give a velocity periodically using a piece-wise linear function rather than a linear variable to estimate its bias.展开更多

Traditional methods often apply uniform deformation models, neglecting the biomechanical differences between rigid structures and soft tissues, which compromises registration accuracy, especially during significant bone displacements. Method To address this issue, we introduce RE-Reg, a rigid-elastic CT-CBCT image registration framework that jointly learns rigid bone motion and soft tissue deformation. RE-Reg incorporates a rigid alignment(RA) module to estimate global bone motion and an elastic deformation(ED) module to model soft tissue deformation, preserving bony structures through bone shape preservation(BSP) loss. Result Our comprehensive evaluation on publicly available datasets demonstrates that RE-Reg significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of registration accuracy and rigid bone structure preservation, achieving a 1.3% improvement in Dice similarity coefficient(DSC) and a 23% reduction in rigid bone deformation(%Δvol) compared with the best baseline. Conclusion This framework not only enhances anatomical fidelity but also ensures biomechanical plausibility and provides a valuable tool for image-guided orthopedic surgery.

The VIM model is based on the couple of the Duffing-van der Pol oscillators and the motion equations with non-linear terms. The model with liner stiffness is presented for comparison and their results are compared with the experiments in order to calibrate the model. The computed results show that the predicted VIM amplitudes and periods of oscillation are in qualitative agreements with the experimental data. Compared with the results with linear stiffness, it is found that the application of non-linear stiffness causes the significant reductions in the in-line and transverse motion amplitudes. Under the non-linear stiffness constraint, the lock-in behavior is still identified at 8<Ur<15, and the trajectories of the VIM on the xy plane with eight-figure patterns are maintained. The results with different non-linear geometrically parameters show that both in-line and transverse non-linear characteristics can significantly affect the predict in-line and transverse motion amplitudes. Furthermore, the computed results for different aspect ratios indicate that the in-line and transverse motion amplitudes increase with the growth of aspect ratio, and the range of lock-in region is enlarged for the large aspect ratio.展开更多

Method To address this issue, we introduce RE-Reg, a rigid-elastic CT-CBCT image registration framework that jointly learns rigid bone motion and soft tissue deformation. RE-Reg incorporates a rigid alignment(RA) module to estimate global bone motion and an elastic deformation(ED) module to model soft tissue deformation, preserving bony structures through bone shape preservation(BSP) loss. Result Our comprehensive evaluation on publicly available datasets demonstrates that RE-Reg significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of registration accuracy and rigid bone structure preservation, achieving a 1.3% improvement in Dice similarity coefficient(DSC) and a 23% reduction in rigid bone deformation(%Δvol) compared with the best baseline. Conclusion This framework not only enhances anatomical fidelity but also ensures biomechanical plausibility and provides a valuable tool for image-guided orthopedic surgery.

文摘In order to optimize the reaming process of the type IV composite hydrogen storage cylinder,the netting theory was employed for the design of stacking sequences,and the thickness in the head section was predicted.A finite element model of the plastic-lined composite hydrogen storage cylinder,designed to withstand a working pressure of 70.0 MPa,was established by using the wound composite modeler(WCM)in the Abaqus software to analyze the forces acting on the winding layer.The Hashin failure criterion was utilized as the standard for assessing composite failure,and a progressive failure analysis of the cylinder was conducted to predict both the bursting pressure and the failure location of the composite hydrogen storage cylinder.The results indicate that the reaming process can effectively reduce the maximum filament winding thickness in the head section and promote a more uniform transition.At the bursting pressure,the stress within the head liner decreases,thereby enhancing the ultimate bearing capacity of the cylinder.A control system for a four-axis winding machine was designed by utilizing an industrial computer and a programmable multi-axis controller(PMAC).The winding line pattern is designed and the G-code trajectory is generated by the industrial computer.The numerical control system,composed of the PMAC and servo motor,executes the four-axis interpolation motion.

文摘Next-generation fire safety systems demand precise detection and motion recognition of flames.In-sensor computing,which integrates sensing,memory,and processing capabilities,has emerged as a key technology in flame detection.However,the implementation of hardware-level functional demonstrations based on artificial vision systems in the solar-blind ultraviolet(UV)band(200-280 nm)is hindered by the weak detection capability.Here,we propose Ga_(2)O_(3)/In_(2)Se_(3) heterojunctions for the ferroelectric(abbreviation:Fe)optoelectronic sensor(abbreviation:OES)array(5×5 pixels),which is capable of ultraweak UV light detection with an ultrahigh detectivity through ferroelectric regulation and features in configurable multimode functionality.The Fe-OES array can directly sense different flame motions and simulate the non-spiking gradient neurons of insect visual system.Moreover,the flame signal can be effectively amplified in combination with leaky integration-and-fire neuron hardware.Using this Fe-OES system and neuromorphic hardware,we successfully demonstrate three flame processing tasks:achieving efficient flame detection across all time periods with terminal and cloud-based alarms;flame motion recognition with a lightweight convolutional neural network achieving 96.47%accuracy;and flame light recognition with 90.51%accuracy by means of a photosensitive artificial neural system.This work provides effective tools and approaches for addressing a variety of complex flame detection tasks.

文摘Soft-tissue motion introduces significant challenges in robotic teleoperation,especially in medical scenarios where precise target tracking is critical.Latency across sensing,computation,and actuation chains leads to degraded tracking performance,particularly around high-acceleration segments and trajectory inflection points.This study investigates machine learning-based predictive compensation for latency mitigation in soft-tissue tracking.Three models—autoregressive(AR),long short-term memory(LSTM),and temporal convolutional network(TCN)—were implemented and evaluated on both synthetic and real datasets.By aligning the prediction horizon with the end-to-end system delay,we demonstrate that prediction-based compensation significantly reduces tracking errors.Among the models,TCN achieved superior robustness and accuracy on complex motion patterns,particularly in multi-step prediction tasks,and exhibited better latency–horizon compatibility.The results suggest that TCN is a promising candidate for real-time latency compensation in teleoperated robotic systems involving dynamic soft-tissue interaction.

文摘There is a strong coupling relationship between the friction characteristics of the ball-groove interface and the ball motion behavior.However,available studies tend to consider ball motion and frictional behavior separately.In this paper,a unified tribology-kinematic model is established considering the coupling effect between friction and the ball velocity vector.The friction in ball-groove contact and ball speed are simultaneously measured by a newly developed disc-ball-disc device for studying friction and movement in ball screws.A comprehensive analysis of rubbing interface behavior and ball motion is conducted.The results show that the coupling effect between friction in ball-groove contact and ball motion is quite obvious.The sliding velocity of the ball is much higher with coupling effect than that when ignoring coupling influence,especially at high-speed conditions.The friction in ball-groove contact decreases at first and then shows a dramatic increase with the gradual rise of rotation speed,which is caused by the coupling variation of sliding speed.The studies show that the disc-ball-disc approach is an innovative and valuable method to investigate friction and ball motion in ball screws.

文摘The automatic loading systems of artillery are critical for the accurate,efficient,and reliable delivery of pro-jectiles and propellants into the gun chamber.In modern artillery,the ammunition conveyor serves as the end effector of the automatic loading system,and its motion state significantly impacts the accuracy of projectiles.Therefore,it is of immense importance to precisely and effectively evaluate the reliability of the motion accuracy of the ammunition conveyor.This paper aims to propose a practical and efficient analysis method for evaluating the reliability of the motion accuracy of the ammunition conveyor.The proposed approach involves the use of a deep learning network to approximate the physical model and the extremum method to obtain a single cycle sequence decoupling strategy for solving the time-varying reliability issue of complex systems.Employing this strategy,the time-varying reliability of the ammunition conveyor is transformed into a static reliability problem.The proposed method includes the use of a deep feedforward neural network,second-order saddle point ap-proximation(SPA)method,extremum method,and efficient global optimization(EGO)technology.The results reveal that the reliability of the motion accuracy of the ammunition conveyor is 93.42%,with the maximum failure probability occurring at 0.21 s.These results serve as an important reference for the structural optimi-zation design of the ammunition conveyor based on reliability and the maintenance of the operational process.

文摘The aerostatic spindle is a key component of ultra-precision machine tools,and its error motion is crucial to machining accuracy and reliability.Spindle error motion is unavoidable,and its online monitoring and prediction are quite important.Currently,there are relatively few studies on the online monitoring and prediction methods for the aerostatic spindle,and the level of intelligence is relatively low.To address this problem,an error motion monitoring system based on digital twin(DT)technology was established for the aerostatic spindle.A spindle error motion prediction method based on a mechanism and data fusion model(MDFM)was proposed.Additionally,a highly available and interactive aerostatic spindle DT service platform was developed.Experimental results have verified the good performance of this platform.The platform facilitates interaction between the physical and virtual entities of the aerostatic spindle,enabling three-dimensional visualization,monitoring,prediction,and simulation of spindle error motion,and shows good potential for engineering applications.
文摘[Objective]This study aims to investigate the multi-body hydrodynamic interaction mechanisms during offshore lifting operations of aquaculture net cages in wind-fishery integration systems.By integrating numerical simulations and dynamic analysis methods,this study systematically investigates the coupled dynamic response characteristics during the cage-carrier vessel separation process to reveal its dynamic evolution patterns and key influence mechanisms.[Method]Based on potential flow theory,a fully coupled dynamic analysis model of crane vessel-net cage-semi-submersible barge was established for a marine ranch project in Guangdong.The complete lifting process was dynamically simulated using SESAM software.Five typical operating sea states were configured to investigate the influence of wave parameters on the system's motion response under combined wave-current-wind actions.[Result]The results demonstrate that wave period dominates the system stability.Under short-period conditions,the system maintains stable motion with relatively small horizontal relative displacements,while long-period conditions excite low-frequency resonance,leading to significant slow-drift motions.Vertical response analysis reveals that long-period waves cause severe relative displacement fluctuations between the cage and semi-submersible vessel,with actual displacement amplitudes doubling the preset safety target of 2.045 m.Quantitative analysis further indicates that when significant wave height increases from 1.0 m to 1.5 m,the actual displacement amplitude increases by approximately 20%relative to the target displacement of 2.045 m,demonstrating that its influence is significantly weaker than the displacement variations induced by wave period changes.The complete dynamic simulation successfully captures the continuous dynamic response characteristics during the lifting process.[Conclusion]This research clarifies the influence mechanisms of wave parameters on the cage lifting process,identifying wave period as the crucial factor for operational safety.An operation window assessment method incorporating multi-body coupling effects is established,proposing a safety criterion with peak period not exceeding six seconds as the core requirement.The findings provide theoretical foundation for safe installation of marine ranch net cages and offer valuable references for similar offshore lifting operations.

文摘In Human–Robot Interaction(HRI),generating robot trajectories that accurately reflect user intentions while ensuring physical realism remains challenging,especially in unstructured environments.In this study,we develop a multimodal framework that integrates symbolic task reasoning with continuous trajectory generation.The approach employs transformer models and adversarial training to map high-level intent to robotic motion.Information from multiple data sources,such as voice traits,hand and body keypoints,visual observations,and recorded paths,is integrated simultaneously.These signals are mapped into a shared representation that supports interpretable reasoning while enabling smooth and realistic motion generation.Based on this design,two different learning strategies are investigated.In the first step,grammar-constrained Linear Temporal Logic(LTL)expressions are created from multimodal human inputs.These expressions are subsequently decoded into robot trajectories.The second method generates trajectories directly from symbolic intent and linguistic data,bypassing an intermediate logical representation.Transformer encoders combine multiple types of information,and autoregressive transformer decoders generate motion sequences.Adding smoothness and speed limits during training increases the likelihood of physical feasibility.To improve the realism and stability of the generated trajectories during training,an adversarial discriminator is also included to guide them toward the distribution of actual robot motion.Tests on the NATSGLD dataset indicate that the complete system exhibits stable training behaviour and performance.In normalised coordinates,the logic-based pipeline has an Average Displacement Error(ADE)of 0.040 and a Final Displacement Error(FDE)of 0.036.The adversarial generator makes substantially more progress,reducing ADE to 0.021 and FDE to 0.018.Visual examination confirms that the generated trajectories closely align with observed motion patterns while preserving smooth temporal dynamics.

文摘The widely distributed loess deposits in the Yellow River Basin exhibit unique engineering geological characteristics.The variations in their thickness and stratigraphic structure significantly amplify ground motion parameters,directly influencing the regional seismic hazard risk level.This study methodically conducted on-site studies and observations of building collapses and damages resulting from seismic amplification effects,using the Wenchuan M_(S)8.0 earthquake as a case study.Comprehensive experimental and numerical simulation studies were carried out.A large-scale shaking table test was performed,and numerical models for 14 different loess sites types were established.Various types of seismic waves were incorporated into these models for systematic numerical simulation calculations.The research reveals the mechanisms by which loess deposit thickness and stratigraphic structure in the Yellow River Basin affect seismic ground motion amplification.The results indicate that as the epicentral distance increases,the peak ground motion shows a marked attenuation trend,with the horizontal component attenuating substantially faster than the vertical component.As the overlying loess layer thickness increases from 50 to 100 m,the seismic intensity may escalate by 3−4 degrees,and the peak acceleration may amplify by 1.5−2.2 times.With the augmentation of loess deposit thickness and the proliferation of soil layers,both the peak acceleration response spectrum and the characteristic period demonstrate an upward tendency,exhibiting slight fluctuations contingent upon the seismic wave type.

文摘The research findings on the ground motion and liquefaction potential analyses during the 2018 Great Indonesia Earthquake(M_(w)7.5)are significant and crucial.The earthquake triggered soil-structure damage due to liquefaction.This study,which thoroughly investigated four sites at Palu,was conducted by performing a comprehensive ground motion parameter analysis.The ground motion characteristics were presented and justified,particularly for the most impacted direction.Ground motion predictions were analysed to define the spectral accelerations,and matching spectral accelerations were conducted to produce ground motions for each site.Non-linear seismic ground response analysis based on the hyperbolic model of pressure pressure-dependent was performed to investigate cyclic soil behaviour.The results revealed that ground motion is crucial in significant soil damage,and the earthquake energy could trigger deep liquefaction.As the most significant ground motion,the vertical ground motion is essential in determining deep liquefaction.The discussion on the impact of liquefaction based on the results of the numerical analysis is presented.Significant ground motion with a longer duration could have a substantial impact on deep liquefaction in the study area.These findings depict how the 2018 Indonesia Earthquake(M_(w)7.5)triggered a mega-liquefaction in Palu City.The results could enhance the understanding of the importance of seismic hazard assessment.It is recommended that site investigation and soil improvement should be planned to counteract liquefaction damage before construction.This study also suggests conducting seismic hazard assessments for city development to minimise the potential disaster impact in the study area.

文摘Deep neural networks have achieved excellent classification results on several computer vision benchmarks.This has led to the popularity of machine learning as a service,where trained algorithms are hosted on the cloud and inference can be obtained on real-world data.In most applications,it is important to compress the vision data due to the enormous bandwidth and memory requirements.Video codecs exploit spatial and temporal correlations to achieve high compression ratios,but they are computationally expensive.This work computes the motion fields between consecutive frames to facilitate the efficient classification of videos.However,contrary to the normal practice of reconstructing the full-resolution frames through motion compensation,this work proposes to infer the class label from the block-based computed motion fields directly.Motion fields are a richer and more complex representation of motion vectors,where each motion vector carries the magnitude and direction information.This approach has two advantages:the cost of motion compensation and video decoding is avoided,and the dimensions of the input signal are highly reduced.This results in a shallower network for classification.The neural network can be trained using motion vectors in two ways:complex representations and magnitude-direction pairs.The proposed work trains a convolutional neural network on the direction and magnitude tensors of the motion fields.Our experimental results show 20×faster convergence during training,reduced overfitting,and accelerated inference on a hand gesture recognition dataset compared to full-resolution and downsampled frames.We validate the proposed methodology on the HGds dataset,achieving a testing accuracy of 99.21%,on the HMDB51 dataset,achieving 82.54%accuracy,and on the UCF101 dataset,achieving 97.13%accuracy,outperforming state-of-the-art methods in computational efficiency.

文摘The soft actuator is characterized by high safety,flexibility,and adaptability.It is capable of both active and passive defor-mations.This paper presents a discrete degree of freedom(DOF)method for soft actuators to reveal DOF characteristics.The method draws on the superposition mechanism of the deformation characteristics of the sarcomere in the skeletal muscles of living organisms.Firstly,the multi-DOF deformation characteristics of the soft actuator are discretized into superimposed combinations of single-DOF micro-units.Then,the soft actuator was determined to contain deformation characteristics such as extension-contraction,bending,and twisting.Eighteen types of micro-units with basic deforma-tion characteristics were obtained depending on the axis and orientation.Further,the mapping relationship between the combination of micro-units and the motion characteristics of the soft actuator based on the GF set theory was established.Finally,an active-passive DOF co-structured soft actuator(APCSA)was developed.The graphical approach analyzes the experimental results,and it can be concluded that active and passive DOFs can coexist in the composite deformation of the soft actuator.

文摘This study presents an effective hybrid simulation approach for simulating broadband ground motion in complex near-fault locations.The approach utilizes a deterministic approach based on the spectral element method(SEM),which is used to simulate low-frequency ground motion(f<1 Hz)by incorporating an innovative efficient discontinuous Galerkin(DG)method for grid division to accurately model basin sedimentary layers at reduced costs.It also introduces a comprehensive hybrid source model for high-frequency random scattering and a nonlinear analysis module for basin sedimentary layers.Deterministic outcomes are combined with modified three-dimensional stochastic finite fault method(3D-EXSIM)simulations of high-frequency ground motion(f>1 Hz).A fourth-order Butterworth filter with zero phase shift is employed for time-domain filtering of low-and high-frequency time series at a crossover frequency of 1 Hz,merging the low and high-frequency ground motions into a broadband time series.Taking an Ms 6.8 Luding earthquake,as an example,this hybrid method was used for a rapid and efficient simulation analysis of broadband ground motion in the region.The accuracy and efficiency of this hybrid method were verified through comparisons with actually observed station data and empirical attenuation curves.Deterministic method simulation results revealed the effects of mountainous topography,basin effects,nonlinear effects within the basin’s sedimentary layers,and a coupling interaction between the basin and the mountains.The findings are consistent with similar studies,showing that near-fault sedimentary basins significantly focus and amplify strong ground motion,and the soil’s nonlinear behavior in the basin influences ground motion to varying extents at different distances from the fault.The mountainous topography impacts the basin’s response to ground motion,leading to barrier effects.This research provides a scientific foundation for seismic zoning,urban planning,and seismic design in nearfault mountain basin regions.

文摘A phenomenological model for predicting the vortex-induced motion (VIM) of a single-column platform with non- linear stiffness has been proposed. The VIM model is based on the couple of the Duffing-van der Pol oscillators and the motion equations with non-linear terms. The model with liner stiffness is presented for comparison and their results are compared with the experiments in order to calibrate the model. The computed results show that the predicted VIM amplitudes and periods of oscillation are in qualitative agreements with the experimental data. Compared with the results with linear stiffness, it is found that the application of non-linear stiffness causes the significant reductions in the in-line and transverse motion amplitudes. Under the non-linear stiffness constraint, the lock-in behavior is still identified at 8<Ur<15, and the trajectories of the VIM on the xy plane with eight-figure patterns are maintained. The results with different non-linear geometrically parameters show that both in-line and transverse non-linear characteristics can significantly affect the predict in-line and transverse motion amplitudes. Furthermore, the computed results for different aspect ratios indicate that the in-line and transverse motion amplitudes increase with the growth of aspect ratio, and the range of lock-in region is enlarged for the large aspect ratio.
