New Leiderman–Khlystov Coefficients for Estimating Engine Full Load Characteristics and Performance

The paper presents a method of calculating the full load engine characteristics based on the Leiderman–Khlystov relation. Because the values of the coefficients of the discussed function available in literature were determined for obsolete engine designs, an attempt was made to update them. To this end, a chassis dynamometer was used where a database of results had been built for a variety of vehicles. Following the data collection, the coefficients for variety of fueling system(six groups: fuel injected gasoline and turbocharged gasoline, spark ignition LPG Ⅰ–Ⅱ and Ⅳ generation, naturally aspirated diesel and turbocharged diesel) were determined. The identification of the coefficients was carried out in Matlab-Simulink indicating the applicability of the said function for most of the engines, yet the recent popularity of turbocharged gasoline engines requires an additional analysis of the possibility of use of a different functional description. The full load engine characteristics is a basis for the vehicle performance characteristics and, further, for modeling of traffic in a variety of aspects of the vehicle operation.

ACO-Inspired Load Balancing Strategy for Cloud-Based Data Centre with Predictive Machine Learning Approach

Virtual Machines are the core of cloud computing and are utilized toget the benefits of cloud computing.

Several study results have been reported in enhancing loadbalancingsystems employing stochastic or biogenetic optimization methods.It examines the underlying issues with load balancing and the limitationsof present load balance genetic optimization approaches. They are criticizedfor using higher-order probability distributions, more complicated solutionsearch spaces, and adding factors to improve decision-making skills. Thus, thispaper explores the possibility of summarizing load characteristics. Second,this study offers an improved prediction technique for pheromone level predictionover other typical genetic optimization methods during load balancing.It also uses web-based third-party cloud service providers to test and validatethe principles provided in this study. It also reduces VM migrations, timecomplexity, and service level agreements compared to other parallel standardapproaches.

爆破型和聚能型装药水下爆炸载荷特性

Blasting and shaped charges are the main forms of underwater weapons,and their near-field underwater explosions(UNDEX)can severely damage structures.Therefore,it is of great importance to study underwater explosive load characteristics of different forms of charges.The full physical process of a typical underwater explosion of a sphere/column blasting charge and a shaped charge was simulated using the Eulerian method.The loading characteristics of the underwater blast shock wave and bubble,as well as the projectile,were studied.The results show that the shock wave loads of spherical,cylindrical,and polygonal charges propagate outward in spherical,ellipsoidal–spherical and ellipsoidal–spherical wavefronts,respectively.When the shock wave reaches 16 times the distance-to-diameter ratio,its surface is approximately spherical.In addition,in the shaped charge underwater explosion,the shaped charge liner cover absorbs 30°–90°of the shock wave energy and some of the bubble energy to form a high-speed shaped penetrator.Spherical,ellipsoidal,and ellipsoidal bubbles are generated by underwater explosions of spherical,cylindrical,and shaped charges,respectively.The obtained results provide a reference for evaluating the power of underwater weapons.

A model was developed to simulate a vehicle diaphragm spring clutch with the evaluation indicators of jerk degree and friction work.First,the pressing load characteristic of the driven plate of the diaphragm spring clutch was analyzed.Then,the clutch dynamic characteristic under each state was studied according to the basic principles of tribology.Finally,the mathematical model of the clutch was developed.Based on the model,the performance of a vehicle was simulated.The simulation results show that the model can predict the dynamic characteristic of the clutch correctly and evaluate the performance of the clutch engagement effectively.The model can be used for theoretical research of automatic clutch control and can be easily applied to simulate vehicle longitudinal dynamics.

Experimental investigation on dynamic response and damage models of circular RC columns subjected to underwater explosions

Reinforced concrete(RC) columns are widely used as supporting structures for high-piled wharfs.The study of damage model of a RC column due to underwater explosion is a critical issue to assess the wharfs antiknock security.In this study,the dynamic response and damage model of circular RC columns subjected to underwater explosions were investigated by means of scaled-down experiment models.Experiments were carried out in a 10.0 m diameter tank with the water depth of 2.25 m,under different explosive quantities(0.025 kg-1.6 kg),stand-off distances(0.0 m-7.0 m),and detonation depths(0.25 m-2.0 m).The shock wave load and dynamic response of experiment models were measured by configuring sensors of pressure,acceleration,strain,and displacement.Then,the load distribution characteristics,time history of test data,and damage models related to present conditions were obtained and discussed.Three damage models,including bending failure,bending-shear failure and punching failure,were identified.In addition,the experie nce model of shock wave loads on the surface of a RC column was proposed for engineering application.

偏载作用下菱形负刚度隔振系统的刚度特性

为探究偏载对菱形负刚度隔振系统刚度的影响,课题组基于力学分析方法,建立了偏载作用下隔振系统的数学模型,得到其无量纲刚度-位移非线性曲线,分析了偏载对其准零刚度特性的影响。利用Simulink进行仿真实验,给偏载作用下的隔振系统振动基座施加激励,得到了不同激励下隔振系统的时变刚度;结合傅里叶变换,探讨了隔振系统刚度的时变特性和幅频特性。结果表明:偏载越大,低刚度区间越窄,准零刚度特性越弱;时变刚度波动范围与峰值随偏载的增加而变大,但时变刚度的波动趋势不受偏载的影响;时变刚度幅值主要集中在低频区间,随频率的增加而减小,最终趋近于0。研究表明偏载对隔振系统的刚度会产生一定的影响。

Indoor environment of nearly zero energy residential buildings with conventional air conditioning in hot-summer and cold-winter zone

According to the few researches on Nearly zero energy residential buildings(NZERB)in hot-summer and cold-winter zone,although it could reduce the cooling load of buildings due to its high thermal insulation and air tightness,it still needed for certain cooling in summer.This paper studied indoor environment of NZERB un-der three kinds of air-conditioners(split-type air-conditioner,multi-line air-conditioner and ceiling radiant air-conditioner).Firstly,a simulation model of NZERB was established based on Nanjing,a typical city in hot-summer and cold-winter zone.Secondly,variation of indoor air temperature and building load characteristics with outdoor air temperature were studied.Thirdly,indoor environment and energy consumption under three selected con-ventional air-conditioners in summer were simulated.Finally,the discussion was given,and an air-conditioner combining with convective and radiant cooling were proposed.The results indicated that the air-conditioner needed to be turned on in NZERB in hot-summer and cold-winter zone due to the room air temperature in off-air condition ranged from 32℃to 36℃,which was higher than designed indoor environment temperature in sum-mer,but the indoor environment of NZERB under three selected conventional air-conditioners could not meet the requirements of energy saving and comfort at the same time,and a proposed convective-radiant air-conditioner could be fast,stable,and energy saving.The findings can provide a reference for conducting active technology in NZERB.
