Application of Choquet Integral-Importance-Performance Analysis and TOPSIS Methods in Approaching the Preference Factors of Calligraphy and Seal Engraving Imagery

Classical Chinese characters,presented through calligraphy,seal engraving,or painting,can exhibit different aesthetics and essences of Chinese characters,making them the most important asset of the Chinese people.Calligraphy and seal engraving,as two closely related systems in traditional Chinese art,have developed through the ages.Due to changes in lifestyle and advancements in modern technology,their original functions of daily writing and verification have gradually diminished.Instead,they have increasingly played a significant role in commercial art.This study utilizes the Evaluation Grid Method(EGM)and the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)to research the key preference factors in the application of calligraphy and seal engraving imagery.Different from the traditional 5-point equal interval semantic questionnaire,this study employs a non-equal interval semantic questionnaire with a golden ratio scale,distinguishing the importance ratio of adjacent semantic meanings and highlighting the weighted emphasis on visual aesthetics.Additionally,the study uses Importance-Performance Analysis(IPA)and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution(TOPSIS)to obtain the key preference sequence of calligraphy and seal engraving culture.Plus,the Choquet integral comprehensive evaluation is used as a reference for IPA comparison.It is hoped that this study can provide cultural imagery references and research methods,injecting further creativity into industrial design.

Exploring Taiwan’s China Landscape Painting Aesthetic Preferences Through Evaluation Grid Method and the Continuous Fuzzy Kano Model

The primary objective of this study is to apply the Evaluation Grid Method(EGM)and the continuous fuzzy Kano quality model to explore the cognitive preferences of Taiwan China residents regarding the beauty of Taiwan’s China landscape paintings.The aim is to contribute to the development of social and cultural art and promote the widespread appeal of art products.Through a literature review,consultations with aesthetic experts,and the application of Miryoku Engineering’s EGM,this paper consolidates the factors that contribute to the attractiveness of painting art products among Taiwan China residents,taking into account various aesthetic qualities.Simultaneously,the paper introduces the use of the triangular fuzzy golden ratio scale semantics,specifically the equal-ratio aesthetic scale semantics,as a replacement for the traditional subjective consciousness model.Departing from the traditional discrete Kano model that employs the mode as the standard for evaluating quality,this study applies triangular fuzzy numbers to the continuous Kano quality model to analyze the diverse preferences and evaluation standards of the public.The hope is that this research methodology will not only deepen Taiwan China residents’understanding and aesthetic literacy of painting art but also serve as a reference for the popularization of art products.

A Two-Grid Technique for the Penalty Method of the Steady Navier-Stokes Equations

A two grid technique for solving the steady incompressible Navier Stokes equations in a penalty method was presented and the convergence of numerical solutions was analyzed. If a coarse size H and a fine size h satisfy H=O(h 13-s )(s=0(n=2);s=12(n=3), where n is a space dimension), this method has the same convergence accuracy as the usual finite element method. But the two grid method can save a lot of computation time for its brief calculation. Moreover, a numerical test was couducted in order to verify the correctness of above theoretical analysis.

Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Ship Parametric Rolling in Regular Head Waves

Parametric rolling is one of five types of the ship stability failure modes as proposed by IMO. The periodic change of the metacentric height is often considered as the internal cause of this phenomenon. Parametric rolling is a complex nonlinear hydrodynamic problem, often accompanied by large amplitude vertical motions of ships. In recent years,the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes(RANS) equation simulations for viscous flows have made great progress in the field of ship seakeeping. In this paper, the parametric rolling for the C11 containership in regular waves is studied both experimentally and numerically. In the experiments, parametric rolling amplitudes at different drafts, forward speeds and wave steepnesses are analyzed. The differences in the steady amplitudes of parametric rolling are observed for two drafts. The effect of the incident wave steepness(or wave amplitude) is also studied, and this supports previous results obtained on limits of the stability for parametric rolling. In numerical simulations, the ship motions of parametric rolling are analyzed by use of the potential-flow and viscous-flow methods. In the viscousflow method, the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations are solved using the overset grid method. The numerical accuracies of the two methods at different wave steepnesses are also discussed.

CFD技术在船舶与海洋工程复杂粘性流动中的应用进展

Complex flow around floating structures is a highly nonlinear problem,and it is a typical feature in ship and ocean engineering.Traditional experimental methods and potential flow theory have limitations in predicting complex viscous flows.With the improvement of high-performance computing and the development of numerical techniques,computational fluid dynamics(CFD)has become increasingly powerful in predicting the complex viscous flow around floating structures.This paper reviews the recent progress in CFD techniques for numerical solutions of typical complex viscous flows in ship and ocean engineering.Applications to free-surface flows,breaking bow waves of high-speed ship,ship hull-propeller-rudder interaction,vortexinduced vibration of risers,vortex-induced motions of deep-draft platforms,and floating offshore wind turbines are discussed.Typical techniques,including volume of fluid for sharp interface,dynamic overset grid,detached eddy simulation,and fluid-structure coupling,are reviewed along with their applications.Some novel techniques,such as high-efficiency Cartesian grid method and GPU acceleration technique,are discussed in the last part as the future perspective for further enhancement of accuracy and efficiency for CFD simulations of complex flow in ship and ocean engineering.

Robust Topology Optimization of Periodic Multi-Material Functionally Graded Structures under Loading Uncertainties

This paper presents a robust topology optimization design approach for multi-material functional graded structures under periodic constraint with load uncertainties.To characterize the random-field uncertainties with a reduced set of random variables,the Karhunen-Lo`eve(K-L)expansion is adopted.The sparse grid numerical integration method is employed to transform the robust topology optimization into a weighted summation of series of deterministic topology optimization.Under dividing the design domain,the volume fraction of each preset gradient layer is extracted.Based on the ordered solid isotropic microstructure with penalization(Ordered-SIMP),a functionally graded multi-material interpolation model is formulated by individually optimizing each preset gradient layer.The periodic constraint setting of the gradient layer is achieved by redistributing the average element compliance in sub-regions.Then,the method of moving asymptotes(MMA)is introduced to iteratively update the design variables.Several numerical examples are presented to verify the validity and applicability of the proposed method.The results demonstrate that the periodic functionally graded multi-material topology can be obtained under different numbers of sub-regions,and robust design structures are more stable than that indicated by the deterministic results.

Aiming at the disadvantages of the basic ant colony algorithm, this paper proposes an improved ant colony algorithm for robot global path planning. First, adjust the pheromone evaporation rate dynamically to enhance the global search ability and convergence speed, and then modify the heuristic function to improve the state transition probabilities in order to find the optimal solution as quickly as possible;and finally change the pheromone update strategy to avoid premature by strengthening pheromone on the optimal path and limiting pheromone level. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the improved algorithm.

A hybrid vertex-centered finite volume/element method for viscous incompressible flows on non-staggered unstructured meshes

This paper proposes a hybrid vertex-centered fi- nite volume/finite element method for solution of the two di- mensional （2D） incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on unstructured grids. An incremental pressure fractional step method is adopted to handle the velocity-pressure coupling. The velocity and the pressure are collocated at the node of the vertex-centered control volume which is formed by join- ing the centroid of cells sharing the common vertex. For the temporal integration of the momentum equations, an im- plicit second-order scheme is utilized to enhance the com- putational stability and eliminate the time step limit due to the diffusion term. The momentum equations are discretized by the vertex-centered finite volume method （FVM） and the pressure Poisson equation is solved by the Galerkin finite el- ement method （FEM）. The momentum interpolation is used to damp out the spurious pressure wiggles. The test case with analytical solutions demonstrates second-order accuracy of the current hybrid scheme in time and space for both veloc- ity and pressure. The classic test cases, the lid-driven cavity flow, the skew cavity flow and the backward-facing step flow, show that numerical results are in good agreement with the published benchmark solutions.

Numerical simulation of elastic wave propagation based on the transversely isotropic BISQ equation

The Biot and Squirt-flow are the two most important mechanisms of fluid flow in the porous medium with fluids. Based on the BISQ (Biot-Squirt) model where the two mechanisms are treated simultaneously, dispersion and attenuation of elastic waves in the porous medium are widely investigated in recent years. However, we have not read any reports on numerical simulation based on the BISQ equation. In this paper, following the BISQ equation, elastic wave propagation in the transversely isotropic porous medium filled with fluids is simulated by the stag-gered grid method for different frequency and phase boundary cases and the two-layer medium. And propagating characteristics of seismic and acoustic waves and various phenomena occured in the propagating process are in-vestigated when the two mechanisms are considered simultaneously.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF ELASTIC WAVE PROPAGATION IN ANISOTROPIC MEDIA

A new numerical simulation algorithm is presented for the elastic wave propagation in heterogeneous anisotropic media. We make discretization of the computational domain by using triangular and quadrangular grids. The scheme is based on integral equilibrium at each node to simulate the elastic wave propagation in heterogeneous anisotropic media. The scheme is very flexible in dealing with arbitrary surface topography, inner openings, liquid-solid boundaries and irregular interfaces. Moreover, tho free-surface condition of complex geometrical boundaries can be satisfied naturally. This work is an extension of the grid method for the elastic wave propagation in heterogeneous isotropic media, and a quadrangular grid with low computational cost is also introduced.

Three dimensional velocity structure beneath the Kunming Telemetered Seismic Network

Based on the P wave first arrival time data of 275 local earthquakes recorded by Kunming Telemetered Seismic Network from 1982 to 1989, a 3-D velocity structure beneath the network was obtained by the separationmethod of focal parameter and medium structure parameter and 3-D approximate ray tracing. In view of 'thesituation that the intervals between stations in the network is relatively long, and the local first arrival phasemay be Pn instead of P, so we simulated Pn as the diving wave from the layer beneath Moho and using approximate ray tracing method on the grid model. The final 3-D velocity structure is basically consistent withthe result from the deep seismic sounding and the anomaly inversion of Bouguer gravity. The Dianzhong area(in the vicinity of Dukou and Chuxiong) shows an obvious high velocity zone at depth of 45 km, which canbe interpreted as the uplift of Moho discontinuity. The upper crust in this area displays lower velocity zone,so the uplift of Moho discontinuity is considered as the result of isostatic compensation. The configuration ofvelocity contours indicates that the upper crust and lower crust are complicated, while the middle crust is relatively simple. This feature reveals that Yunnan area belongs to modern tectonically active region. As themain boundary of the major tectonic units in the study area, although there is no obvious evidence about lowvelocity anomaly zone along the Red River Fault, the fault shows up th feature of sturctural divide on themid-lower crustal velocity contours, and it is inferred that the fault passes through the Moho-discontinuity atleast.

Sorting of the Structure of Corrugated Yarn Production in Cluster Enterprises

In the article, the methods of processing and obtaining multicomponent raw materials were investigated with the properties of multicomponent threads obtained from fiber waste cluster enterprises in textile production, the interrelation of the components sorting composition. To solve the problem, we used the cause-effect relationship of information theory from the grid planning Matrix, solving the dependence of raw materials, physical and mechanical parameters and the established characteristics of the product. Empirical correlations were obtained on the nature and mechanism of the relationship between factors, which allowed the system to establish a theory of control and prediction of behavior. The methods of evaluation used in this study make it possible to expand the information base with respect to these indicators and to use them in the production of fabrics and threads with established characteristics.

A Fast Cartesian Grid-Based Integral Equation Method for Unbounded Interface Problems with Non-Homogeneous Source Terms

This work presents a fast Cartesian grid-based integral equation method for unbounded interface problems with non-homogeneous source terms.The unbounded interface problem is solved with boundary integral equation methods such that infinite boundary conditions are satisfied naturally.This work overcomes two difficulties.The first difficulty is the evaluation of singular integrals.Boundary and volume integrals are transformed into equivalent but much simpler bounded interface problems on rectangular domains,which are solved with FFT-based finite difference solvers.The second one is the expensive computational cost for volume integrals.Despite the use of efficient interface problem solvers,the evaluation for volume integrals is still expensive due to the evaluation of boundary conditions for the simple interface problem.The problem is alleviated by introducing an auxiliary circle as a bridge to indirectly evaluate boundary conditions.Since solving boundary integral equations on a circular boundary is so accurate,one only needs to select a fixed number of points for the discretization of the circle to reduce the computational cost.Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and the second-order accuracy of the proposed numerical method.

A hybrid finite volume/finite element method for incompressible generalized Newtonian fluid flows on unstructured triangular meshes

This paper presents a hybrid finite volume/finite element method for the incompressible generalized Newtonian fluid flow （Power-Law model）. The collocated （i.e. non-staggered） arrangement of variables is used on the unstructured triangular grids, and a fractional step projection method is applied for the velocity-pressure coupling. The cell-centered finite volume method is employed to discretize the momentum equation and the vertex-based finite element for the pressure Poisson equation. The momentum interpolation method is used to suppress unphysical pressure wiggles. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the current hybrid scheme has second order accuracy in both space and time. Results on flows in the lid-driven cavity and between parallel walls for Newtonian and Power-Law models are also in good agreement with the published solutions.

MICRO-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF LARGE PLASTIC DEFORMATION FOR HIGH-PURITY POLYCRYSTALLINE ALUMINUM

This paper aims at revealing various micro- deformation characteristics, such as crystalline slip and grain boundary slide, which are recorded under scanning electronic microscope for high-purity aluminum tensile specimen at room temperature. These experimental data provide us direct evidence for shear localization near the grain boundary network via multi- directional grain boundary slide. The nonuniform deformation induced in the grain interiors would have decisive effect on the plastic flow and failure of polycrystalline materials.

Sharp interface direct forcing immersed boundary methods： A summary of some algorithms and applications

Body-fitted mesh generation has long been the bottleneck of simulating fluid flows involving complex geometries. Immersed boundary methods are non-boundary-conforming methods that have gained great popularity in the last two decades for their simplicity and flexibility, as well as their non-compromised accuracy. This paper presents a summary of some numerical algori- thms along the line of sharp interface direct forcing approaches and their applications in some practical problems. The algorithms include basic Navier-Stokes solvers, immersed boundary setup procedures, treatments of stationary and moving immersed bounda- ries, and fluid-structure coupling schemes. Applications of these algorithms in particulate flows, flow-induced vibrations, biofluid dynamics, and free-surface hydrodynamics are demonstrated. Some concluding remarks are made, including several future research directions that can further expand the application regime of immersed boundary methods.

We present a Cartesian grid method for numerical simulation of strongly nonlinear phenomena of ship-wave interactions. The Constraint Interpolation Profile （CIP） method is applied to the flow solver, which can efficiently increase the discretization accuracy on the moving boundaries for the Cartesian grid method.

An improved immersed boundary method is developed to treat moving bodies with complex-shaped geometries. In this paper, the main features and some recent improvements of the Cartesian grid method are described and several numerical simulation results are presented to discuss its performance.

A parabolic equation method （PEM）-based discrete algorithm is proposed and is used to obtain the field distribution in the evaporation duct space. This method not only improves the computing speed, but also provides the flexibility to adjust the simulation accuracy. Numerical simulation of the wave propagation in the oceanic waveguide structure is done. In addition, the initial field distribution and progressive steps are determined.
