Buckling Optimization of Curved Grid Stiffeners through the Level Set Based Density Method

Stiffened structures have great potential for improvingmechanical performance,and the study of their stability is of great interest.In this paper,the optimization of the critical buckling load factor for curved grid stiffeners is solved by using the level set based density method,where the shape and cross section(including thickness and width)of the stiffeners can be optimized simultaneously.The grid stiffeners are a combination ofmany single stiffenerswhich are projected by the corresponding level set functions.The thickness and width of each stiffener are designed to be independent variables in the projection applied to each level set function.Besides,the path of each single stiffener is described by the zero iso-contour of the level set function.All the single stiffeners are combined together by using the p-norm method to obtain the stiffener grid.The proposed method is validated by several numerical examples to optimize the critical buckling load factor.

Structural Topology Design of Container Ship Based on Knowledge-Based Engineering and Level Set Method

Knowledge-Based Engineering （KBE） is introduced into the ship structural design in this paper. From the implementation of KBE, the design solutions for both Rules Design Method （RDM） and Interpolation Design Method （IDM） are generated. The corresponding Finite Element （FE） models are generated. Topological design of the longitudinal structures is studied where the Gaussian Process （GP） is employed to build the surrogate model for FE analysis. Multi-objective optimization methods inspired by Pareto Front are used to reduce the design tank weight and outer surface area simultaneously. Additionally, an enhanced Level Set Method （LSM） which employs implicit algorithm is applied to the topological design of typical bracket plate which is used extensively in ship structures. Two different sets of boundary conditions are considered. The proposed methods show satisfactory efficiency and accuracy.

Base level changes based on Basin Filling Modelling:a case study from the Paleocene Lishui Sag,East China Sea Basin

Estimation of base level changes in geological records is an important topic for petroleum geologists.Taking the Paleocene Upper Lingfeng Member of Lishui Sag as an example,this paper conducted a base level reconstruction based on Basin Filling Modelling(BFM).The reconstruction was processed on the ground of a previously interpreted seismic stratigraphic framework with several assumptions and simplification.The BFM is implemented with a nonlinear diffusion equation solver written in R coding that excels in shallow marine stratigraphic simulation.The modeled results fit the original stratigraphy very well.The BFM is a powerful tool for reconstructing the base level,and is an effective way to check the reasonableness of previous interpretations.Although simulation solutions may not be unique,the BFM still provides us a chance to gain some insights into the mechanism and dynamic details of the stratigraphy of sedimentary basins.

Base-level Chang and Sequence Stratigraphy of Lishu Fault Lacustrine Basin

Base-level is a kind of surface which controls sedimentation and erosion. So, it can be concluded that it is base-level change that controls the formation and internal structure of a sequence. A single cycle of base-level change can generate four sets of different stacking patterns. They are two sets of aggradation, one progradation and one retrogradation, which affects the features of the internal structure of a sequence. Lishu fault subsidence of Songliao basin is a typical half-graben lacustrine basin. Comprehensive base-level change analysis indicates that six base-level cycles and their related six sequences can be recognized between T 4 and T 5 seismic reflection surface. The contemporaneous fault is the main controlling factor of the fault lacustrine basin. There are obvious differences exist in the composition of sedimentary systems and all systems tracts between its steep slope (the side that basin control fault existed) and flat slope. Except highstand systems tract is composed of fan delta-lacustrine system, lowstand systems tract, transgressive systems tract and regressive systems tract are all made up of fan delta-underwater fan-lacustrine sedimentary systems in the side of steep slope.

Malicious Node Detection Using Confidence Level Evaluation in a Grid-Based Wireless Sensor Network

In this paper, we present a malicious node detection scheme using confidence-level evaluation in a grid-based wireless sensor network. The sensor field is divided into square grids, where sensor nodes in each grid form a cluster with a cluster head. Each cluster head maintains the confidence levels of its member nodes based on their readings and reflects them in decision-making. Two thresholds are used to distinguish between false alarms due to malicious nodes and events. In addition, the center of an event region is estimated, if necessary, to enhance the event and malicious node detection accuracy. Experimental results show that the scheme can achieve high malicious node detection accuracy without sacrificing normal sensor nodes.

Saturable Absorption Enchantment of Au Nanorods Based on Energy Transfer between Longitudinal and Transverse Energy Levels

Four kinds of Au nanorods（NRs）with different aspect ratios are designed to adjust the relationship between resonance energy level of longitudinal（L）and transverse（T）modes.During the femto-second Z-scan experiments,huge saturable absorption phenomena are observed while the energy level T is located between one to two times of the energylevel L.This means that the energy may transfer between longitudinal and transverse energylevels in the same and/or different Au NRs.It effectively depresses the production of revised saturated absorption and increases the saturable absorption efficiency.This method is significant for the preparation of high-efficiency saturable absorption devices.

Regional Evaluation of GOCE-Based GGMs with Ground-Based Gravity and GPS/Levelling Data over Egypt

The gravity field and steady-state ocean circulation explorer (GOCE) satellite mission has provided numerous Global Geopotential Models (GGMs) with different processing methodologies and model accuracies. In the current contribution, the latest releases of GOCE-based GGMs are evaluated on the regional scale using the available terrestrial GPS/Levelling and gravity data collected over Egypt. To overcome the spectral inconsistency between the GOCE-based GGMs and the ground-based data, the spectral enhancement method (SEM) is applied. Five of GOCE-based GGMs have been used, namely GOSG01S, IGGT_R1, IfE_GOCE05s_ GO_CONS_GCF_2_SPW_R5 (SPW_R5 in the following) and NULP-02. The evaluation process of GOCE-based GGMs with the available ground data over Egypt considering the SEM method shows remarkable improvements obtained from the SPW_R5 model. The model provides lower differences of the standard deviations with respect to the EGM2008 and the other applied geopotential gravity models as well as the applied ground-based gravity and GPS/Levelling data. The findings regarding the ground-based data show obvious reductions of about 15.16% and 32.22% achieved by the GOCE-based model in term of standard deviations differences of gravity anomalies and geoid heights, respectively. Therefore, the SPW_R5 model is recommended to be applied as a reference model for compensating the long-to-short wavelength (up to spherical harmonics degree/order 280) components when modelling the gravimetric geoid over Egypt.

3D Surface Editing Based on Level-Sets

A novel method which integrates the topological flexibility of the level-set approach and the simplicity of point-sampled surfaces is proposed. The grid structure resulted from the level-set approach not only offers a wide range of powerful surface editing techniques for the point set surface editing, but also facilitates the topological change with ease. With the aid of point-based resampling, the method updates the surface shape of the point-based geometry quickly without worrying about point connectivity at all. The point set surface can also change its topology properly whenever a collision with other parts of itself is detected. The experiment demonstrates their effectiveness on several scanned objects and scan-converted models. Four examples of surface editing operations： smoothing, tapering, deforming, and Boolean operations, are presented.

On the Accuracy Assessment of the Latest Releases of GOCE Satellite-Based Geopotential Models with EGM2008 and Terrestrial GPS/Levelling and Gravity Data over Egypt

The Global Geopotential Models (GGMs) of GOCE (Gravity Recovery and steady- state Ocean Circulation Explorer) differ globally as well as regionally in their accuracy and resolution based on the maximum degree and order (d/o) of the fully normalized spherical harmonic (SH) coefficients, which express each GGM. The main idea of this study is to compare the free-air gravity anomalies and quasi geoid heights determined from several recent GOCE-based GGMs with the corresponding ones from the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008) over Egypt on the one hand and with ground-based measurements on the other hand. The results regarding to the comparison of GOCE-based GGMs with terrestrial gravity and GPS/levelling data provide better improvement with respect to EGM2008. The 4th release GOCE-based GGM developed with the use of space-wise solution strategy (SPW_R4) approximates the gravity field well over the Egyptian region. The SPW_R4 model is accordingly suggested as a reference model for recovering the long wavelength (up to SH d/o 200) components of quasi geoid heights when modelling the gravimetric quasi-geoid over the Egypt. Finally, three types of transformation models: Four-, Five- and Seven-parameter transformations have been applied to reduce the data biases and to provide a better fitting of quasi geoid heights obtained from the studied GOCE-based GGMs to those from GPS/levelling data. These models reveal that the standard deviation of vertical datum over Egypt is at the level of about 32 cm.

Kink effect in current–voltage characteristics of a GaN-based high electron mobility transistor with an AlGaN back barrier

The kink effect in current-voltage （IV） characteristic s seriously deteriorates the performance of a GaN-based HEMT. Based on a series of direct current （DC） IV measurements in a GaN-based HEMT with an AlGaN back barrier, a possible mechanism with electron-trapping and detrapping processes is proposed. Kink-related deep levels are activated by a high drain source voltage （Vds） and located in a GaN channel layer. Both electron trapping and detrapping processes are accomplished with the help of hot electrons from the channel by impact ionization. Moreover, the mechanism is verified by two other DC IV measurements and a model with an expression of the kink current.

On Point-Based Haptic Rendering

Haptic rendering is referred to as an approach for complementing graphical model of the virtual object with mechanics- based properties. As a result, when the user interacts with the virtual object through a haptic device, the object can graphically deflect or deform following laws of mechanics. In addition, the user is able to feel the resulting interaction force when interacting with the virtual object. This paper presents a study of defining the levels-of-detail (LOD) in point-based computational mechanics for haptic rendering of objects. The approach uses the description of object as a set of sampled points. In comparison with the finite element method (FEM), point-based approach does not rely on any predefined mesh representation and depends on the point representation of the volume of the object. Different from solving the governing equations of motion representing the entire object based on pre-defined mesh representation which is used in FEM, in point-based modeling approach, the number of points involved in the computation of displacement/deformation can be adaptively defined during the solution cycle. This frame work can offer the implementation of the notion for levels-of-detail techniques for which can be used to tune the haptic rendering environment for in- creased realism and computational efficiency. This paper presents some initial experimental studies in implementing LOD in such environment.
