Inverse Construction Methods of Heterogeneous NURBS Object Based on Additive Manufacturing

According to the requirement of heterogeneous object modeling in additive manufacturing(AM),the Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline(NURBS)method has been applied to the digital representation of heterogeneous object in this paper.By putting forward the NURBS material data structure and establishing heterogeneous NURBS object model,the accurate mathematical unified representation of analytical and free heterogeneous objects have been realized.With the inverse modeling of heterogeneous NURBS objects,the geometry and material distribution can be better designed to meet the actual needs.Radical Basis Function(RBF)method based on global surface reconstruction and the tensor product surface interpolation method are combined to RBF-NURBS inverse construction method.The geometric and/or material information of regular mesh points is obtained by RBF interpolation of scattered data,and the heterogeneous NURBS surface or object model is obtained by tensor product interpolation.The examples have shown that the heterogeneous objects fitting to scattered data points can be generated effectively by the inverse construction methods in this paper and 3D CAD models for additive manufacturing can be provided.

4D Design and Simulation Technologies and Process Design Patterns to Support Lean Construction Methods

The objective of this ongoing joint research program is to determine how 3D/4D modeling, simulation and visualization of Products (buildings), Organizations and Processes (POP) can support lean construction. Initial findings suggest that Process Design Pattern may have the potential to intuitively support ICT based lean construction. We initiated a 'Process Archeology' in order to reveal the requirements for tools that can support the planning, simulation and control of lean construction methods. First findings show that existing tools provide only limited support and therefore, we started to develop new methodologies and technologies to overcome these shortcomings. Through the introduction of Process Design Patterns, we intent to establish process thinking in the interdisciplinary POP design. Optimized construction processes may be synthesized with semi-automatic methods by applying Process Design Patterns on building structures. By providing process templates that integrate problem solution and expert knowledge, Process Design Patterns may have the potential to ensure high quality process models.

Construction of <i>k</i>-Variate Survival Functions with Emphasis on the Case <i>k</i>= 3

The purpose of this paper is to present a general universal formula for k-variate survival functions for arbitrary k = 2, 3, ..., given all the univariate marginal survival functions. This universal form of k-variate probability distributions was obtained by means of “dependence functions” named “joiners” in the text. These joiners determine all the involved stochastic dependencies between the underlying random variables. However, in order that the presented formula (the form) represents a legitimate survival function, some necessary and sufficient conditions for the joiners had to be found. Basically, finding those conditions is the main task of this paper. This task was successfully performed for the case k = 2 and the main results for the case k = 3 were formulated as Theorem 1 and Theorem 2 in Section 4. Nevertheless, the hypothetical conditions valid for the general k ≥ 4 case were also formulated in Section 3 as the (very convincing) Hypothesis. As for the sufficient conditions for both the k = 3 and k ≥ 4 cases, the full generality was not achieved since two restrictions were imposed. Firstly, we limited ourselves to the, defined in the text, “continuous cases” (when the corresponding joint density exists and is continuous), and secondly we consider positive stochastic dependencies only. Nevertheless, the class of the k-variate distributions which can be constructed is very wide. The presented method of construction by means of joiners can be considered competitive to the copula methodology. As it is suggested in the paper the possibility of building a common theory of both copulae and joiners is quite possible, and the joiners may play the role of tools within the theory of copulae, and vice versa copulae may, for example, be used for finding proper joiners. Another independent feature of the joiners methodology is the possibility of constructing many new stochastic processes including stationary and Markovian.

Guide for Barriers when Using Soils and Construction Materials with Environmentally Sensitive Contents

On 16 July 2021,the German“Mantelverordnung”(Construction Materials Regulation)was published in the Federal Law Journal.From August 1,2023,this regulation is to be applied nationwide and,for the first time,regulates legally nationwide binding requirements for mineral construction waste and its use in technical structures.It also refers to specific construction methods with construction waste material.In the course of the construction of infrastructure traffic routes,it is possible to use these construction materials with limited contamination for the construction of,e.g.,noise barriers,dams or embankments.The German M TS E(Merkblattüber Bauweisen für Technische Sicherungsmaßnahmen beim Einsatz von Böden und Baustoffen mit umweltrelevanten Inhaltsstoffen im Erdbau)Guideline of the FGSV(Road and Transportation Research Association)lists various alternatives for barriers in such structures.Geosynthetic barriers,e.g.,GCLs(Geosynthetic Clay Liners,also known as bentonite mats)or polymeric geomembranes as well as other geosynthetics can have economic and design advantages over conventional mineral barriers.Depending on the proposed construction method,the guideline sets out certain requirements,not only but also for permittivity and confining stress.In the following,the construction methods in general and the design solutions with GCLs in particular are presented.

According to the multi-project and program management theory, this paper analyzes the program generation principle and establishes a program based on progress goals. On the basis of the present situation of calculation of penalty for delay of the bidding section construction period with the critical path method, we studied the effects of contractor-induced delay of the bidding section construction period in detail, including the effects on the construction period of the bidding section itself, the earliest start times of the next bidding section and other subsequent bidding sections, and the construction period of the program, and then constructed a penalty model for delay of the bidding section construction period from the perspective of programs. Using the penalty model, we conducted a practical analysis of penalty for delay of the construction period of the Baoying station program in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. The model can help determine the amount of penalty for delay of the construction period in bidding sections scientifically and reasonably,

Construction Method of Modern Architecture under the Background of the Times

Taking the development of the times as the background,the historical evolution of modern architecture is combed from the perspective of the initial stage of industrialization to post-industrialization and then to the information age.It can be seen that there is a close connection between development and modern architecture in the context of the times.With the advancement of science and technology,the construction of buildings has undergone varying degrees of changes due to aesthetics,materials,structure,humanities,and technology.Behind these changes are the results of the progress and development of social productivity.While changing people’s social cognition,it also changes the development process of architecture.

Strong Stability Preserving IMEX Methods for Partitioned Systems of Differential Equations

We investigate strong stability preserving(SSP)implicit-explicit(IMEX)methods for partitioned systems of differential equations with stiff and nonstiff subsystems.Conditions for order p and stage order q=p are derived,and characterization of SSP IMEX methods is provided following the recent work by Spijker.Stability properties of these methods with respect to the decoupled linear system with a complex parameter,and a coupled linear system with real parameters are also investigated.Examples of methods up to the order p=4 and stage order q—p are provided.Numerical examples on six partitioned test systems confirm that the derived methods achieve the expected order of convergence for large range of stepsizes of integration,and they are also suitable for preserving the accuracy in the stiff limit or preserving the positivity of the numerical solution for large stepsizes.

Rock mechanical problems and optimization for the long and deep diversion tunnels at Jinping Ⅱ hydropower station

According to site-specific environments such as high water pressures, high in-situ stresses and strong rockbursts, the design scheme of the long and deep diversion tunnels at Jinping II hydropower station was optimized to ensure construction safety. New drainage tunnels were considered. Furthermore, lining structures and grouting pressures were modified during the excavation of tunnels. The construction scheme was updated dynamically based on the complex geological conditions. For instances, the diversion tunnels were first excavated by drilling and blasting method at the first stage of construction, and then by the combination method of tunnel boring machine （TBM） and drilling and blasting, and finally by drilling and blasting method. Through optimized scheme and updated construction scheme, the excavation of diversion tunnel #1 was successfully completed in June, 2011. This paper summarizes the key issues in rock mechanics associated with the construction of the long and deep diversion tunnels at Jinping II hydropower station. The experiences of design and construction obtained from this project could provide reference to similar projects.

CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH ORDER SYMPLECTIC PRK METHODS

In this paper three classes of high order symplectic partitioned Runge-Kutta (PRK) methods, which are based on the W-transformation of Hairer and Wanner, and a particular class of diagonally implicit symplectic PRK methods of arbitrarily high order, which are based on the composite algorithm, are constructed. In particular, the symplectically composite PRK methods of arbitrarily high order become explicit when applied to separable Hamiltonian systems.

Constructing the three-qudit unextendible product bases with strong nonlocality

Unextendible product bases(UPBs)are interesting members of a family of orthogonal product bases.Here,we investigate the construction of 3-qudit UPBs with strong nonlocality.First,a UPB set in C^(3)■C^(3)■C^(3)of size 19 is presented based on the shift UPBs.By mapping the system to a Rubik’s cube,we provide a general method of constructing UPBs in C^(d)■C^(d)■C^(d)of size(d-1)^(3)+2d+5,whose corresponding Rubik’s cube is composed of four parts.Second,for the more general case where the dimensions of parties are different,we extend the classical tile structure to the 3-qudit system and propose the tri-tile structure.By means of this structure,a C^(4)■C^(4)■C^(5)system of size 38 is obtained based on a C^(3)■C^(3)■C^(4)system of size 19.Then,we generalize this approach to the C^(d1)■C^(d2)■C^(d3)system which also consists of four parts.Our research provides a positive answer to the open question raised in by Halder et al.[Phys.Rev.Lett.122040403(2019)],indicating that there do exist UPBs that can exhibit strong quantum nonlocality without entanglement.

Seismic hazard analysis for central-western Argentina

In this study, we present a PSHA（Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis） for the city of San Juan, which is located in the central-western region of Argentina（30°S-35.5°S; 66.5°W-71°W）. In addition to crustal earthquakes provided by catalogues, recent paleoseismological and neotectonic investigations have permitted to consider events which occurred during the last 400 years.Four seismogenic sources that could cause damages to the studied site corresponding to Precordillera,Western Sierras Pampeanas, Basement of the Cuyana Basin and Cordillera Principal were identified.Based on the evaluation of the contribution of these sources,maximum moment magnitudes above 7.5（Mw） are expected.High values of SA（spectral acceleration）（0.2 and 1 s periods） and PGA（peak ground acceleration） were found in the city of San Juan, which suggests that it is located in a zone of high seismic hazard.Finally, the obtained SA spectra were compared with the seismic-resistant construction standards of Argentina INPRES-CIRSOC 103 [1]. Results suggest that for the city of San Juan and for a return period of475 years, it covers the seismic requirements of the structures.

Strong fluctuation of seabed,abrupt variation in depth and dip of seabed bring seismic imaging problems,such as irregular reflection waves,obvious multiple waves,serious lateral wave development,poor imaging on base surface and depression structure,low signal-to-noise ratio of middle and deep layers.In this paper,Gaussian beam migration imaging method is used to analyze the imaging effect of rugged seabed in deep water area,and the ray tracing method of wavefront construction method is used to analyze the kinematic characteristics of seismic waves.By improving the design of seismic data acquisition and observation system,imaging quality of fine structures is improved.

Model Test for Dynamic Construction Mechanical Effect of Large-Span Loess Tunnel

It has been a focus of debate for a large time on construction methods for large-span loess tunnel.Reasonable construction method has much effect on stability of tunnel and construction schedule.Deformation and failure of surrounding rock are quite complex.Associating with the large-span loess tunnel of Zhengzhou- Xi'an high-speed passenger rail line in China,large scale model test with geometric proportion 1:20 is applied to study on dynamic mechanical behavior of various construction methods.They include full-face excavation with support and no support,and benching method with support.It is found that pre-deformation and stress accumulation take place ahead of working face.The effects of three construction methods are further studied,particularly in terms of tunnel displacement and stress changes.It is revealed that benching method transfers load to an unexcavated area,limits horizontal deformation,reduces stress concentration effectively,lengthens the distance between location of peak for stress concentration and working face,and consequently increases stability.The model test results not only supply theoretical foundation for determination of reasonable construction method,but also can act as reference for similar tunnel and underground engineering construction.

A Certain Regular Property of the Method I Construction and Packing Measure

Let τ be a premeasure on a complete separable metric space and let τ＊ be the Method I measure constructed from τ. We give conditions on T such that τ＊ has a regularity as follows： Every τ＊-measurable set has measure equivalent to the supremum of premeasures of its compact subsets. Then we prove that the packing measure has this regularity if and only if the corresponding packing premeasure is locally finite.

A new construction method of LDPC codes for optical transmission systems

Based on the construction method of system- atically constructed Gallager （SCG）（4, k） code, a new improved construction method of low density parity check （LDPC） code is proposed. Compared with the construction method of SCG（4, k） codes improved before, the proposed construction method has some advantages, such as saving storage space and reducing computation complexity in the hardware implementation. And then LDPC（5929, 5624） code with 5.42% redundancy is constructed by the proposed method. The simulation results and analysis show that the constructed LDPC（5929, 5624） code has better error-correction performance, lower redundancy and lower decoding complexity than those of a classic Reed- Solomon （RS）（255, 239） code. Therefore, LDPC（5929, 5624） code, constructed by the proposed construction method on LDPC codes, can better suitable for optical transmission systems.
