In order to visually illustrate how the vanadium-bearing minerals were separated from system, a loose-stratification model was established with Bagnold shear loose theory and Kelly stratification hypothesis. Through the model, it was inferred that fine fraction and coarse fraction of vanadium-bearing muscovite particles easily became the concentrate in roughing and scavenging stages, respectively. The type of the dominant effect on the loose-stratification was confirmed. In the roughing stage, gravity sedimentation played a leading role in the loose-stratification process. However, in the scavenging stage, shearing dispersion pressure caused by asymmetric motion of table deck took an important part in the loose-stratification process. Finally, the correction of the loose-stratification model was validated by the practical experiment.展开更多

文摘Accurate retrieval of casting 3D models is crucial for process reuse.Current methods primarily focus on shape similarity,neglecting process design features,which compromises reusability.In this study,a novel deep learning retrieval method for process reuse was proposed,which integrates process design features into the retrieval of casting 3D models.This method leverages the comparative language-image pretraining(CLIP)model to extract shape features from the three views and sectional views of the casting model and combines them with process design features such as modulus,main wall thickness,symmetry,and length-to-height ratio to enhance process reusability.A database of 230 production casting models was established for model validation.Results indicate that incorporating process design features improves model accuracy by 6.09%,reaching 97.82%,and increases process similarity by 30.25%.The reusability of the process was further verified using the casting simulation software EasyCast.The results show that the process retrieved after integrating process design features produces the least shrinkage in the target model,demonstrating this method’s superior ability for process reuse.This approach does not require a large dataset for training and optimization,making it highly applicable to casting process design and related manufacturing processes.

文摘This study systematically investigates the hot deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of CoNiV medium-entropy alloy(MEA)in the temperature range of 950-1100℃ and strain rates of 0.001-1 s^(-1).The Arrhenius model and machine learning model were developed to forecast flow stresses at various conditions.The predictive capability of both models was assessed using the coefficients of determination(R^(2)),average absolute relative error(AARE),and root mean square error(RMSE).The findings show that the osprey optimization algorithm convolutional neural network(OOA-CNN)model outperforms the Arrhenius model,achieving a high R^(2) value of 0.99959 and lower AARE and RMSE values.The flow stress that the OOA-CNN model predicted was used to generate power dissipation maps and instability maps under different strains.Finally,combining the processing map and microstructure characterization,the ideal processing domain was identified as 1100℃ at strain rates of 0.01-0.1 s^(-1).This study provided key insights into optimizing the hot working process of CoNiV MEA.

文摘The textile industry,while creating material wealth,also exerts a significant impact on the environment.Particularly in the textile manufacturing phase,which is the most energy-intensive phase throughout the product lifecycle,the problem of high energy usage is increasingly notable.Nevertheless,current analyses of carbon emissions in textile manufacturing emphasize the dynamic temporal characteristics while failing to adequately consider critical information such as material flows and energy consumption.A carbon emission analysis method based on a holographic process model(HPM)is proposed to address these issues.First,the system boundary in the textile manufacturing is defined,and the characteristics of carbon emissions are analyzed.Next,an HPM based on the object-centric Petri net(OCPN)is constructed,and simulation experiments are conducted on three different scenarios in the textile manufacturing.Subsequently,the constructed HPM is utilized to achieve a multi-perspective analysis of carbon emissions.Finally,the feasibility of the method is verified by using the production data of pure cotton products from a certain textile manufacturing enterprise.The results indicate that this method can analyze the impact of various factors on the carbon emissions of pure cotton product production,and by applying targeted optimization strategies,carbon emissions have been reduced by nearly 20%.This contributes to propelling the textile manufacturing industry toward sustainable development.

文摘The Madden-Julian Oscillation(MJO)is a key atmospheric component connecting global weather and climate.It func-tions as a primary source for subseasonal forecasts.Previous studies have highlighted the vital impact of oceanic processes on MJO propagation.However,few existing MJO prediction approaches adequately consider these factors.This study determines the critical region for the oceanic processes affecting MJO propagation by utilizing 22-year Climate Forecast System Reanalysis data.By intro-ducing surface and subsurface oceanic temperature within this critical region into a lagged multiple linear regression model,the MJO forecasting skill is considerably optimized.This optimization leads to a 12 h enhancement in the forecasting skill of the first principal component and efficiently decreases prediction errors for the total predictions.Further analysis suggests that,during the years in which MJO events propagate across the Maritime Continent over a more southerly path,the optimized statistical forecasting model obtains better improvements in MJO prediction.

文摘During the excavation of deep engineering,high in situ stress is one prominent feature that often causes instability in the vicinity of underground openings.The propagation and coalescence of cracks in the surrounding rock are characterized by anisotropy under a true triaxial stress state and play a crucial role in the development of stress-induced engineering disasters.Thus,a three-dimensional anisotropic fracturing model of hard rock is proposed to interpret fracturing activities and evaluate the mechanical property deterioration under complex stress conditions.This anisotropic fracturing model is derived from the evolution of microcracks and attributes the inelastic deformation of hard rock to crack propagation and coalescence.Through analyzing the competitive process of crack propagation in different orientations,the stress-induced anisotropic fracturing characteristics and the post-peak brittle-ductile transition could be revealed.Finally,the accuracy and effectiveness of this model are validated.Results show that this proposed anisotropic fracturing model can elucidate the primary characteristics observed in triaxial compression tests,which offers a fresh perspective on comprehending the failure process of hard rock.

文摘This study compared the predictive performance and processing speed of an artificial neural network(ANN)and a hybrid of a numerical reservoir simulation(NRS)and artificial neural network(NRS-ANN)models in estimating the oil production rate of the ZH86 reservoir block under waterflood recovery.The historical input variables:reservoir pressure,reservoir pore volume containing hydrocarbons,reservoir pore volume containing water and reservoir water injection rate used as inputs for ANN models.To create the NRS-ANN hybrid models,314 data sets extracted from the NRS model,which included reservoir pressure,reservoir pore volume containing hy-drocarbons,reservoir pore volume containing water and reservoir water injection rate were used.The output of the models was the historical oil production rate(HOPR in m^(3) per day)recorded from the ZH86 reservoir block.Models were developed using MATLAB R2021a and trained with 25 models in three replicate conditions(2,4 and 6),each at 1000 epochs.A comparative analysis indicated that,for all 25 models,the ANN outperformed the NRS-ANN in terms of processing speed and prediction performance.ANN models achieved an average of R^(2) and MAE of 0.8433 and 8.0964 m^(3)/day values,respectively,while NRS-ANN hybrid models achieved an average of R^(2) and MAE of 0.7828 and 8.2484 m^(3)/day values,respectively.In addition,ANN models achieved a processing speed of 49 epochs/sec,32 epochs/sec,and 24 epochs/sec after 2,4,and 6 replicates,respectively.Whereas the NRS-ANN hybrid models achieved lower average processing speeds of 45 epochs/sec,23 epochs/sec and 20 epochs/sec.In addition,the ANN optimal model outperforms the NRS-ANN model in terms of both processing speed and accuracy.The ANN optimal model achieved a speed of 336.44 epochs/sec,compared to the NRS-ANN hybrid optimal model,which achieved a speed of 52.16 epochs/sec.The ANN optimal model achieved lower RMSE and MAE values of 7.9291 m^(3)/day and 5.3855 m^(3)/day in the validation dataset compared with the hybrid ANS optimal model,which achieved 13.6821 m^(3)/day and 9.2047 m^(3)/day,respectively.The study also showed that the ANN optimal model consistently achieved higher R^(2) values:0.9472,0.9284 and 0.9316 in the training,test and validation data sets.Whereas the NRS-ANN hybrid optimal yielded lower R^(2) values of 0.8030,0.8622 and 0.7776 for the training,testing and validation datasets.The study showed that ANN models are a more effective and reliable tool,as they balance both processing speed and accuracy in estimating the oil production rate of the ZH86 reservoir block under the waterflooding recovery method.

文摘Under the paradigm of Industry 5.0,intelligent manufacturing transcends mere efficiency enhancement by emphasizing human-machine collaboration,where human expertise plays a central role in assembly processes.Despite advancements in intelligent and digital technologies,assembly process design still heavily relies on manual knowledge reuse,and inefficiencies and inconsistent quality in process documentation are caused.To address the aforementioned issues,this paper proposes a knowledge push method of complex product assembly process design based on distillation model-based dynamically enhanced graph and Bayesian network.First,an initial knowledge graph is constructed using a BERT-BiLSTM-CRF model trained with integrated human expertise and a fine-tuned large language model.Then,a confidence-based dynamic weighted fusion strategy is employed to achieve dynamic incremental construction of the knowledge graph with low resource consumption.Subsequently,a Bayesian network model is constructed based on the relationships between assembly components,assembly features,and operations.Bayesian network reasoning is used to push assembly process knowledge under different design requirements.Finally,the feasibility of the Bayesian network construction method and the effectiveness of Bayesian network reasoning are verified through a specific example,significantly improving the utilization of assembly process knowledge and the efficiency of assembly process design.
文摘Processes supported by process-aware information systems are subject to continuous and often subtle changes due to evolving operational,organizational,or regulatory factors.These changes,referred to as incremental concept drift,gradually alter the behavior or structure of processes,making their detection and localization a challenging task.Traditional process mining techniques frequently assume process stationarity and are limited in their ability to detect such drift,particularly from a control-flow perspective.The objective of this research is to develop an interpretable and robust framework capable of detecting and localizing incremental concept drift in event logs,with a specific emphasis on the structural evolution of control-flow semantics in processes.We propose DriftXMiner,a control-flow-aware hybrid framework that combines statistical,machine learning,and process model analysis techniques.The approach comprises three key components:(1)Cumulative Drift Scanner that tracks directional statistical deviations to detect early drift signals;(2)a Temporal Clustering and Drift-Aware Forest Ensemble(DAFE)to capture distributional and classification-level changes in process behavior;and(3)Petri net-based process model reconstruction,which enables the precise localization of structural drift using transition deviation metrics and replay fitness scores.Experimental validation on the BPI Challenge 2017 event log demonstrates that DriftXMiner effectively identifies and localizes gradual and incremental process drift over time.The framework achieves a detection accuracy of 92.5%,a localization precision of 90.3%,and an F1-score of 0.91,outperforming competitive baselines such as CUSUM+Histograms and ADWIN+Alpha Miner.Visual analyses further confirm that identified drift points align with transitions in control-flow models and behavioral cluster structures.DriftXMiner offers a novel and interpretable solution for incremental concept drift detection and localization in dynamic,process-aware systems.By integrating statistical signal accumulation,temporal behavior profiling,and structural process mining,the framework enables finegrained drift explanation and supports adaptive process intelligence in evolving environments.Its modular architecture supports extension to streaming data and real-time monitoring contexts.

文摘A technology of one-stage roughing and one-stage scavenging vanadium pre-concentration with shaking table was investigated for improving vanadium grade and decreasing acid consumption minerals content based on the quantitative evaluation of minerals by scanning electronic microscopy (QEMSCAN). In order to visually illustrate how the vanadium-bearing minerals were separated from system, a loose-stratification model was established with Bagnold shear loose theory and Kelly stratification hypothesis. Through the model, it was inferred that fine fraction and coarse fraction of vanadium-bearing muscovite particles easily became the concentrate in roughing and scavenging stages, respectively. The type of the dominant effect on the loose-stratification was confirmed. In the roughing stage, gravity sedimentation played a leading role in the loose-stratification process. However, in the scavenging stage, shearing dispersion pressure caused by asymmetric motion of table deck took an important part in the loose-stratification process. Finally, the correction of the loose-stratification model was validated by the practical experiment.

A new business process model which is multi-role, multi-dimensional, integrated and dynamic is proposed relying on inter-organizational collaboration. Compatible with the traditional linear sequence model, the new model is an M x N multi-dimensional mesh, and provides horizontal and vertical formal descriptions for the collaboration business process model. Finally, the pi-calculus theory is utilized to verify the deadlocks, livelocks and synchronization of the example models. The result shows that the proposed approach is efficient and applicable in inter-organizational business process modeling.
