This method aims at shortening the design period, reducing the calculation cost and improving the competitive competence. First, the pe^ormance re- quirements, the control factors and the corresponding levels are determined to design a DOE table. Second, based on the schemes from the DOE table, sensitive control factors are distinguished from the results of the FEA method. Finally, the optimum design is chosen after comparisons and analyses of these performance response graphs. Performance results of the optimum design indicate that the application of the robust approach and FEA can greatly im- prove the quality of the door system, satisfy the requirements of products, underline the design purpose and shorten the design period.展开更多

Junctions are very important in municipal sewerage systems and river engineering. Adequate theoretical description of flow through an open channel junction is difficult because numerous variables are to be considered. Equations of junction models are based on mass and momentum or mass and energy conservation. The objective of this study is to compare two junction models for subcritical flows. In channel branches, we solve numerically the Saint-Venant hyperbolic system by combining Preissmann scheme and double sweep method. We validate our results with HEC-RAS using Nash and Sutcliffe efficiency. In junction models, equality of water stage and complete energy conservation equation from HEC-RAS are compared. Outcome of the research clearly indicates that the complete conservation energy model is more suitable in flow through junction than equality of water stage model in serious situations.展开更多
