Prediction of efficient outputs based on GM(1,N) model and weak DEA efficiency

This paper expresses the efficient outputs of decisionmaking unit（DMU） as the sum of ＂average outputs＂ forecasted by a GM（1,N） model and ＂increased outputs＂ which reflect the difficulty to realize efficient outputs.The increased outputs are solved by linear programming using data envelopment analysis efficiency theories,wherein a new sample is introduced whose inputs are equal to the budget in the issue No.n ＋ 1 and outputs are forecasted by the GM（1,N） model.The shortcoming in the existing methods that the forecasted efficient outputs may be less than the possible actual outputs according to developing trends of input-output rate in the periods of pre-n is overcome.The new prediction method provides decision-makers with more decisionmaking information,and the initial conditions are easy to be given.

High-efficiency forming processes for complex thin-walled titanium alloys components: state-of-the-art and perspectives

Complex thin-walled titanium alloy components play a key role in the aircraft,aerospace and marine industries,offering the advantages of reduced weight and increased thermal resistance.The geometrical complexity,dimensional accuracy and in-service properties are essential to fulfill the high-performance standards required in new transportation systems,which brings new challenges to titanium alloy forming technologies.Traditional forming processes,such as superplastic forming or hot pressing,cannot meet all demands of modern applications due to their limited properties,low productivity and high cost.This has encouraged industry and research groups to develop novel high-efficiency forming processes.Hot gas pressure forming and hot stamping-quenching technologies have been developed for the manufacture of tubular and panel components,and are believed to be the cut-edge processes guaranteeing dimensional accuracy,microstructure and mechanical properties.This article intends to provide a critical review of high-efficiency titanium alloy forming processes,concentrating on latest investigations of controlling dimensional accuracy,microstructure and properties.The advantages and limitations of individual forming process are comprehensively analyzed,through which,future research trends of high-efficiency forming are identified including trends in process integration,processing window design,full cycle and multi-objective optimization.This review aims to provide a guide for researchers and process designers on the manufacture of thin-walled titanium alloy components whilst achieving high dimensional accuracy and satisfying performance properties with high efficiency and low cost.

IoT-enabled energy efficiency monitoring and analysis method for energy saving in sheet metal forming workshop

Sheet metal forming,as a typical energy-intensive process,consumes massive energy.Due to the significant difference between sheet metal forming and machining,manufacturers still lack an effective method to monitor and analyze the energy efficiency in the sheet metal forming workshop.To this end,an energy efficiency monitoring and analysis(EEMA)method,which is supported by Internet of Things(IoT),is proposed.The characteristics in a forming workshop are first analyzed,and then the architecture of the method is expatiated-detailedly.Energy efficiency indicators at machine level,process level,and workshop level are defined,respectively.Finally,a sheet metal forming workshop for the deformation of panels of forklift was investigated to validate the effectiveness and benefits of the proposed method.With the application of the IoT-enabled method,various energy-saving decisions can be made by the management of the enterprises for energy efficiency improvement and energy consumption reduction(EEIECR)in the sheet metal forming workshop.

Responses of Phosphorus Use Efficiency, Grain Yield, and Quality to Phosphorus Application Amount of Weak-Gluten Wheat

Phosphorus （P） is one of the most widely occurring nutrients for development and growth of wheat. In this study, the effects of P application amount on grain yield, protein content, and phosphorus use efficiency （PUE） were studied by agronomic management of P fertilizer on spring weak-gluten wheat （Triticum aestivum L.） grown under field conditions for 2 yr. The experiments were performed at five levels of P205 application amount, including 0, 72, 108, 144, and 180 kg ha-1. As a result, with increase in P fertilizer, grain yield, and P agricultural efficiency （AEp） increased in a quadratic equitation, but partial factor productivity of P （PFPp） decreased in a logarithmic eq. When 108 kg ha-1 P2Os was applied, the grain yield reached the highest level, but the protein content in gain was lower than 11.5%, a threshold for the protein content to evaluate weak-gluten wheat suitable for production of cake and biscuit. Yangmai 13 and Ningmai 9 could tolerate to higher P level of soils than Yangmai 9 that had more loss in grain yield when P fertilizer was over-applied. AEp had a concomitant relationship with grain yield and was a better descriptor for P use efficiency in the wheat. A high P use efficiency resulted in leaf area index （LAI）, increased chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate, and stable acid phophatase （APase） activity to accumulate more dry matter after anthesis, which explained that the optimum P fertilizer increased grain yield and improved grain quality of weak-gluten wheat.

A LEAST SQUARE BASED WEAK GALERKIN FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR SECOND ORDER ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS IN NON-DIVERGENCE FORM

This article is devoted to establishing a least square based weak Galerkin method for second order elliptic equations in non-divergence form using a discrete weak Hessian operator.Naturally,the resulting linear system is symmetric and positive definite,and thus the algorithm is easy to implement and analyze.Convergence analysis in the H2 equivalent norm is established on an arbitrary shape regular polygonal mesh.A superconvergence result is proved when the coefficient matrix is constant or piecewise constant.Numerical examples are performed which not only verify the theoretical results but also reveal some unexpected superconvergence phenomena.

Flexural and eigen-buckling analysis of steel-concrete partially composite plates using weak form quadrature element method

Flexural and eigen-buckling analyses for rectangular steel-concrete partially composite plates(PCPs)with interlayer slip under simply supported and clamped boundary conditions are conducted using the weak form quadrature element method(QEM).Both of the derivatives and integrals in the variational description of a problem to be solved are directly evaluated by the aid of identical numerical interpolation points in the weak form QEM.The effectiveness of the presented numerical model is validated by comparing numerical results of the weak form QEM with those from FEM or analytic solution.It can be observed that only one quadrature element is fully competent for flexural and eigen-buckling analysis of a rectangular partially composite plate with shear connection stiffness commonly used.The numerical integration order of quadrature element can be adjusted neatly to meet the convergence requirement.The quadrature element model presented here is an effective and promising tool for further analysis of steel-concrete PCPs under more general circumstances.Parametric studies on the shear connection stiffness and length-width ratio of the plate are also presented.It is shown that the flexural deflections and the critical buckling loads of PCPs are significantly affected by the shear connection stiffness when its value is within a certain range.

广义弱形式自由单元法

自由单元法(FrEM)是一种单元配点法,吸收了有限元法等参单元的插值稳定性与无网格法使用灵活的优点,具有稳定性好和灵活性高的性能.FrEM在每个配置点只需要一个通过自由选择周围节点而形成的独立的等参单元,不需要考虑单元之间节点的相互连接关系,这种自由性使得人们可以按照学科性质形成所需要的单元,因而FrEM既适用于固体力学,也适用于流体力学问题的求解.然而,FrEM所用单元需要至少有一个内部节点(用于方程的配点),以致有限元法中单元节点相连的网格不能在FrEM中直接使用.文章基于对应于配置点的等参单元形函数在与其不相连的边界上为0的特性和配置点等效节点力平衡关系,提出了一种广义弱形式自由单元法(GFrEM).该方法是一种使用单元逐点建立配置方程的单元配点法,具有如下特点:(1)突破了现有自由单元法中单元需要内部节点的限制,因而可以使用线性单元和高阶单元;(2)突破了现有自由单元法中一个配置点使用一个单元的限制,可以使用与配置点相连的任意多个单元;(3)可以使用任意形式的规则单元和多边形/多面体单元;(4)如果使用单元节点相连的传统有限元法网格,则GFrEM自然演变为传统的有限元法.论文将给出几个固体力学方面的应用算例,展示所提方法的有效性.

弱光下锑基太阳电池的光谱响应与性能优化

锑基薄膜太阳电池因其制备方法简单,原材料丰富,光电性能稳定等优点而得到了快速发展。其中锑基吸光层材料(硫化锑、硫硒化锑、硒化锑)具有高吸收系数特点,因而在室内或者水下等弱光条件下具有相当大的应用潜力。通过构造两种衰减光谱以研究新型锑基薄膜太阳电池在弱光下的光电响应。首先通过厚度调节硒化锑太阳电池的吸光能力,发现当吸光层厚度较薄时,电池的光电转换效率存在较大差值;而当吸光层厚度过厚时,电池性能又因载流子复合的增大而降低。在吸光层厚度处于合适的0.4~1.2μm之间时,硒化锑太阳电池在长波衰减光谱和短波衰减光谱下都能获得高于16%的转换效率。然后通过硒含量调节锑基太阳电池的光谱吸收范围,发现长波衰减光谱下,锑基太阳电池的器件性能显著高于标准光谱,并且在20%~40%硒含量下能够获得最佳的转换效率。而在短波衰减光谱下,锑基太阳电池的最佳性能出现在硒含量为60%的情况下。因而在弱光条件下,锑基太阳电池的最佳硒含量需要通过具体的光谱特性确定。最后研究了两种衰减光谱下,硫化锑/硒化锑双结叠层太阳电池的光谱响应特性。发现在短波衰减光谱下,叠层太阳电池效率会随着总厚度的增加而增加。而在长波衰减光谱下,叠层太阳电池的最佳性能能够一直保持在较高水平。当叠层电池总厚度为2μm,且硫化锑顶电池厚度在0.5~1.2μm之间时,器件在两种衰减光谱下都能够实现光谱能量在两个子电池中的合理分配,使得叠层电池效率能够保持在20%以上。通过该研究对锑基太阳电池器件结构的合理设计,能够保证单结和双结器件在不同弱光条件下的高性能输出,为高环境适应性的锑基薄膜太阳电池的研发提供技术支持。
