The genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized to identify the structural damage severity of confirmed damaged locations. Furthermore, a systematic damage identification program based on GA is developed on MATLAB platform. ANSYS is employed to conduct the finite element analysis of complicated civil engineering structures, which is embedded with interface technique. The two-step damage identification is verified by a finite element model of Xinxingtang Highway Bridge and a laboratory beam model based on polyvinylidens fluoride (PVDF). The bridge model was constructed with 57 girder segments, and simulated with 58 measurement points. The damaged segments were located accurately by GRC index regardless of damage extents and noise levels. With stiffness reduction factors of detected segments as variables, the GA program evolved for 150 generations in 6 h and identified the damage extent with the maximum errors of 1% and 3% corresponding to the noise to signal ratios of 0 and 5%, respectively. In contrast, the common GA-based method without using GRC index evolved for 600 generations in 24 h, but failed to obtain satisfactory results. In the laboratory test, PVDF patches were used as dynamic strain sensors, and the damage locations were identified due to the fact that GRC indexes of points near damaged elements were smaller than 0.6 while those of others were larger than 0.6. The GA-based damage quantification was also consistent with the value of crack depth in the beam model.展开更多

The grey relation coefficient of displacement curvature is defined and used to locate damage in the structure, and an iterative estimation scheme for solving nonlinear optimization programming problems based on the quadratic programming technique is used to identify the damage magnitude. A numerical example of a cantilever beam with single or multiple damages is used to examine the capability of the proposed grey-theory-based method to localize and identify damages. The factors of meas-urement noise and incomplete test data are also discussed. The numerical results showed that the damage in the structure can be localized correctly through using the grey-related coefficient of displacement curvature, and the damage magnitude can be iden-tified with a high degree of accuracy, regardless of the number of measured displacement nodes. This proposed method only requires limited static test data, which is easily available in practice, and has wide applications in structural damage detection.展开更多

However, the relationship between apparent diffusion coefficient changes with ischemia time, particularly relative apparent diffusion coefficient and tissue pathological changes remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between apparent diffusion coefficient changes and pathologic changes in hyperacute cerebral infarction. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized, controlled, animal experiment of neuroimaging. The study was performed at the Laboratory of Radiology Department, Longgang Central Hospital of Shenzhen from October 2007 to October 2008. MATERIALS: Magnetic resonance scanner was purchased from Philips Medical Systems, Best, the Netherlands. METHODS: A total of 42 healthy, adult, New Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned into sham-operation, ischemia 0.5-, 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-hour groups, with six animals in each group. Local cerebral ischemia model was established by right middle cerebral artery occlusion, and cranial MRI scanning and pathologic observation were performed, respectively, at 0.5, 1,2, 3, 4, and 6 hours following ischemia. The middle cerebral artery of sham-operation group was only exposed, but not occluded. Images at the above-mentioned time points were also collected. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Apparent diffusion coefficient and relative apparent diffusion coefficient values of abnormal signal on diffusion-weighted imaging were calculated and compared with pathological changes in the ischemic region. RESULTS: No abnormal diffusion-weighted imaging signals or pathological changes were observed in the sham-operation group. Abnormal signal intensity on diffusion-weighted imaging was first observed in the 0.5-hour group. Apparent diffusion coefficient and relative apparent diffusion coefficient values decreased in all middle cerebral artery occlusion rabbits and reached lowest levels at 3 hours, followed by a gradual increase. The right ischemic basal ganglia region with high signal intensity on diffusion-weighted imaging extended with increasing time of occlusion, and the pathologic outcome corresponded with MRI changes. CONCLUSION: Relative apparent diffusion coefficient values changed regularly with ischemia time and displayed good correspondence to pathological manifestations.展开更多

The uncertainty of measurement is analyzed using grey system theory, and the defects of the grey evaluation model of measurement uncertainty (GEMU) are studied. We then establish an improved grey evaluation model of measurement uncertainty (IGEMU). Simulations show that the precision of IGEMU is greater than that of GEMU, and that sample size has only a small effect on the precision of IGEVU. In particular, IGEMU is applied to evaluating measurement uncertainty for small sample size and measurement data from an unknown distribution. The measurement uncertainty of total profile deviation, which is measured by the CNC gear measuring center, can be evaluated by a combination of IGEMU and the Monte Carlo method.展开更多

The daily average visibility increased significantly(p 〈 0.01) at a rate of 1.1 km/year, yet its median stabilized at ~13 km. No haze days occurred when the 24-hr mean PM_(2.5)mass concentration was below 75 μg/m^3. By multiple linear regression on the chemical budget of particle scattering coefficient(b sp), we obtained site-specific mass scattering efficiency(MSE) values of 6.5 ± 0.2, 2.6 ± 0.3, 2.4 ± 0.7 and 7.3 ± 1.2 m2/g,respectively, for organic matter(OM), ammonium sulfate(AS), ammonium nitrate(AN) and sea salt(SS). The reconstructed light extinction coefficient(b ext) based on the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments(IMPROVE) algorithm with our site-specific MSE revealed that OM, AS, AN, SS and light-absorbing carbon(LAC) on average contributed 45.9% ± 1.6%,25.6% ± 1.2%, 12.0% ± 0.7%, 11.2% ± 0.9% and 5.4% ± 0.3% to light extinction, respectively.Averaged b ext displayed a significant reduction rate of 14.1/Mm·year(p 〈 0.05); this rate would be 82% higher if it were not counteracted by increasing relative humidity(RH) and hygroscopic growth factor(f(RH)) at rates of 2.5% and 0.16/year-1(p 〈 0.01), respectively, during the fall–winter, 2007–2013. This growth of RH and f(RH) partly offsets the positive effects of lowered AS in improving visibility, and aggravated the negative effects of increasing AN to impair visibility.展开更多

This paper studies the dissolved oxygen recovery of the water and bubble mixture pipe flow through two sudden contractions and expansions. A 3-D computational fluid dy- namics model is established to simulate the water and bubble mixture flow with a DO transport model. An experiment is conducted to validate the mathematical model. The mathematical model is used to evaluate the effect of geometric parameters on the head loss coefficient, the relative saturation coefficient and the oxygen absorption efficiency. It is found that the contraction ratio is a signi- ficant influencing factor, other than the relative length and the relative distance. Given the same relative length and relative distance, the head loss coefficient, the relative saturation coefficient and the oxygen absorption efficiency increase with the decrease of the contraction ratio, respectively. Given the same relative length and contraction ratio, the head loss coefficient increases with the in- crease of the relative distance firstly, and then decreases gradually, in contrast, the relative saturation coefficient and the oxygen ab- sorption efficiency decrease with the increase of the relative distance firstly, and then increase gradually, the relative saturation coefficient and the oxygen absorption efficiency are inversely proportional to the head loss coefficient, respectively.展开更多

It is found that the contraction ratio is a signi- ficant influencing factor, other than the relative length and the relative distance. Given the same relative length and relative distance, the head loss coefficient, the relative saturation coefficient and the oxygen absorption efficiency increase with the decrease of the contraction ratio, respectively.
