Design of Landscape Entertainment Facilities from the Perspective of Children＇s Cognition

Starting from the stage characteristics of children's cognitive development, the types of performance related to cognitive function and the design points involved in outdoor landscape entertainment facilities were sorted out and analyzed, and the design strategies of landscape entertainment facilities based on cognitive function were put forward in this paper, so as to make public toys more appropriate to promote children's all-round development of cognitive ability.

A Methodology for Implementable Comprehensive Urban Design in Large Scale Projects:A Case Study on Daqing Comprehensive Urban Design

Based on relevant urban planning and design standards and a study on successful cases of comprehensive urban design in China, this paper explores a methodology of comprehensive urban design in large scale projects by applying classical urban design theories and advanced digital technologies. This enables a combination of artful design and scientifi c analysis through the establishment of an urban design indicator system, the application of digital technologies and a multi-leveled control over design contents. The chosen case of the Daqing Comprehensive Urban Design shows that the proposed measures can effectively promote the supervision of comprehensive urban design on both urban morphology and landscape, rapidly convert the urban design outcomes into management rules, and ultimately facilitate the application of the urban design outcomes.

Modular Design of Complex Product Based on the Triple Fusion of Function/Feature/Knowledge

The modular design technology is of importance increasingly,as product structure is more and more complex.Modular design systems face challenging problems as the design information tends to be dynamic,redundant,and very large.This paper describes a novel approach for handling them.In this approach,a partition is firstly performed for the complex structural components by mapping functions to the structures layer by layer.Based on this partition,a comprehensive design matrix is then developed to identify the key design mode which is driven by a special function.The design process is also programmed by analyzing the coupled information on both the functional and structural hierarchies.Then,the integrated knowledge model based on object-oriented method and hybrid inference method is constructed.In this model,knowledge can be organized at hierarchical classification and expressed with different forms.Finally,the methodology developed has been applied to a real application in automobile cylinder block design and the results are presented.

Multiple model predictive control of perching maneuver based on guardian maps

Considering the strong nonlinearity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)resulting from high Angle of Attack(AOA)and fast maneuvering,we present a multi-model predictive control strategy for UAV maneuvering,which has a small amount of online calculation.Firstly,we divide the maneuver envelope of UAV into several sub-regions on the basis of the gap metric theory.A novel algorithm is then developed to determine the ploytopic model for each sub-region.According to this,a Robust Model Predictive Control based on the Idea of Comprehensive optimization(ICE-RMPC)is proposed.The control law is designed offline and optimized online to reduce the computational expense.Then,the ICE-RMPC method is applied to design the controllers of sub-regions.In addition,to guarantee the stability of whole closed-loop system,a multi-model switching control strategy based on guardian maps is put forward.Finally,the tracking performance of proposed control strategy is demonstrated by an illustrative example.

A survey of sketch based modeling systems

As 3D technology, including computer graphics, virtual reality and 3D printing, has been rapidly developed in the past years, 3D models are gaining an increasingly huge demand. Traditional 3D modeling platforms such as Maya and ZBrush, utilize ＂windows, icons, menus, pointers＂ （WlMP） interface paradigms for fine-grained control to construct detailed models. However, the modeling progress can be tedious and frustrating and thus too hard for a novice user or even a well trained artist. Therefore, a more intuitive interface is needed. Sketch, an intuitive communication and modeling tool for human beings, becomes the first choice of modeling community. So far, various sketch-based modeling systems have been created and studied. In this paper, we at- tempt to show how these systems work and give a comprehensive survey. We review and categorize the systems in four aspects： the input, the knowledge they use, the modeling approach and the output. We also discuss about inherent challenges and open problems for researchers in the future.
