Design of Offshore Wind Power Foundation with Multi-bucket

Three- and four-bucket offshore wind power foundations with a new form of force-transferring structure are proposed in this paper, and the integrated finite element model of foundation-soil-transition structure is established by using ABAQUS. The carrying capacity of the proposed foundations is studied under vertical load, horizontal load and bending moment. It can be seen that the vertical bearing capacity of multi-bucket foundation can be roughly estimated by the vertical bearing capacity of single-bucket; the horizontal bearing capacity of the three-bucket foundation scheme is controlled by displacement, while that of the four-bucket foundation scheme is controlled by the internal forces of soils. Moreover, the carrying capacity is provided by the overall structure formed by multi-bucket before soil failure. Compared with the conventional single-bucket foundation, there are mainly tension and pressure that are applied to the multi-bucket foundation, so that the carrying capacity of the foundation can be fully utilized. The probability of soil failure can be well reduced with the proposed multi-bucket foundation, and the stress transmission of force-transferring structure is more consistent through steel beams with variable cross-section.

Fault Diagnosis of Valve Clearance in Diesel Engine Based on BP Neural Network and Support Vector Machine

Based on wavelet packet transformation(WPT), genetic algorithm(GA), back propagation neural network(BPNN)and support vector machine(SVM), a fault diagnosis method of diesel engine valve clearance is presented. With power spectral density analysis, the characteristic frequency related to the engine running conditions can be extracted from vibration signals. The biggest singular values(BSV)of wavelet coefficients and root mean square(RMS)values of vibration in characteristic frequency sub-bands are extracted at the end of third level decomposition of vibration signals, and they are used as input vectors of BPNN or SVM. To avoid being trapped in local minima, GA is adopted. The normal and fault vibration signals measured in different valve clearance conditions are analyzed. BPNN, GA back propagation neural network(GA-BPNN), SVM and GA-SVM are applied to the training and testing for the extraction of different features, and the classification accuracies and training time are compared to determine the optimum fault classifier and feature selection. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed features and classification algorithms give classification accuracy of 100%.

Estimation of DOA and Polarization Parameters with 2-Level Nested Vector-Sensor Array Based on Quaternion Model

The quaternion coherence problem exists in the data model of the conventional dimensional reduced quaternion estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques(DRQ-ESPRIT), and DRQ-ESPRIT would lose degrees of freedom(DOFs)when it is used to implement the spatial smooth operation. An improved DRQ-ESPRIT algorithm based on 2-level nested vector-sensor array is proposed in this paper. The quaternion coherence problem is solved by switching the multiplication sequence of spatial direction vector and electric field. Meanwhile, nested array and Khatri-Rao subspace approach are used to increase the number of DOFs, thus the proposed algorithm can estimate more incident sources than DRQ-ESPRIT, and the estimations of direction of arrival(DOA)and polarization parameters are more accurate. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Robust MIMO Precoding for Cognitive Multiuser Relay Networks with Imperfect Channel State Information

In this paper, a novel robust precoder with imperfect channel state information(CSI)is proposed for multi-input multi-output(MIMO)cognitive multiuser networks equipped with relays. In the proposed model, the secondary users(SUs)are allowed to share the spectrum with the primary users(PUs)when the interference temperature(IT)is below a specific threshold. The transmitting strategy of relays is amplify-and-forward(AF), and the CSI error is characterized in terms of spherical uncertainty region. A minmax problem for the transmit power of the relays is considered when the mean square error(MSE)of SUs and the IT of PU meet their corresponding thresholds, and it is transformed into a semi-definite programming(SDP)problem to search for the solution. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed precoder.

Contour Detection-Based Realistic Finite-Difference-Time-Domain Models for Microwave Breast Cancer Detection

In this paper, a collection of three-dimensional(3D)numerical breast models are developed based on clinical magnetic resonance images(MRIs). A hybrid contour detection method is used to create the contour, and the internal space is filled with different breast tissues, with each corresponding to a specified interval of MRI pixel intensity. The developed models anatomically describe the complex tissue structure and dielectric properties in breasts. Besides, they are compatible with finite-difference-time-domain(FDTD)grid cells. Convolutional perfect matched layer(CPML)is applied in conjunction with FDTD to simulate the open boundary outside the model. In the test phase, microwave breast cancer detection simulations are performed in four models with varying radiographic densities. Then, confocal algorithm is utilized to reconstruct the tumor images. Imaging results show that the tumor voxels can be recognized in every case, with 2 mm location error in two low density cases and 7 mm─8 mm location errors in two high density cases, demonstrating that the MRI-derived models can characterize the individual difference between patients' breasts.

Real-Time Grouting Monitoring and Visualization Analysis System for Dam Foundation Curtain Grouting

A real-time monitoring and 3D visualization analysis system is proposed for dam foundation curtain grouting. Based on the real-time control technology, the optimization method and the set theory, a mathematical model of the system is established. The real-time collection and transmission technology of the grouting data provides a data foundation for the system. The real-time grouting monitoring and dynamic alarming method helps the system control the grouting quality during the grouting process, thus, the abnormalities of grouting, such as jacking and hydraulic uplift, can be effectively controlled. In addition, the 3D grouting visualization analysis technology is proposed to establish the grouting information model(GIM). The GIM provides a platform to visualize and analyze the grouting process and results. The system has been applied to a hydraulic project of China as a case study, and the application results indicate that the real-time grouting monitoring and 3D visualization analysis for the grouting process can help engineers control the grouting quality more efficiently.

Influence of Wind Speed, Stay Cable Inclination Angle and Wind Yaw Angle on Formation of Rivulets

Combining lubrication theory and CFD technology, a finite element model is established to simulate the rain-wind-induced vibration(RWIV). Based on Spalart-Allmaras(S-A)turbulence type, COMSOL software is adopted to calculate the wind pressure coefficient and wind friction coefficient that vary with the location and time. To verify the veracity and rationality of this method, the formation and evolution of rivulets at different wind speeds are studied and compared with the existing experimental results. Furthermore, the time, location, height and width of the initial formation of rivulets are analyzed at different wind speeds, cable inclination angles and wind yaw angles. The results show that the three influencing factors mentioned above have great effect on the formation of rivulet, and the influencing tendency, range and degree are different from each other.

Features of Flow Past Square Cylinder with a Perforated Plate

A numerical investigation was performed on the reduction of the fluid forces acting on the square cylinder in the laminar flow regime with a perforated plate. The effects of geometric parameters such as the distance between the square cylinder and the perforated plate on the wake of the square cylinder were discussed. Furthermore, the flow characteristics such as the drag coefficient, lift coefficient, Strouhal number and flow pattern were obtained. It can be concluded that the drag force of the square cylinder reduces to some extent due to the addition of the perforated plate. The flow structure varies when the perforated plate is located behind the square cylinder. Moreover, the recirculation zone augments with the increase of L/D, and the vortex trace on the upper and lower surface of the square cylinder moves gradually backwards until a stable recirculation zone formed between the square cylinder and the perforated plate.

Modeling of Tool-Chip Contact Length for OrthogonalCutting of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy Considering Segmented Chip Formation

In this work, the orthogonal cutting experiments on Ti-6Al-4V alloy were conducted at different cutting speeds(10—160 m/min)and feed rates(20—160 μm/rev). The tool-chip contact length was measured by the track of tool rake face; meanwhile, the chip morphology caused by the localized and overall chip deformation was characterized by the degree of segmentation and the chip compression ratio, respectively. These parameters were analyzed and calculated according to the segmented chip morphology. In addition, three modified models considering the overall chip deformation and the localized deformation of adiabatic shear band were proposed, and the constants of the models were calculated by the genetic algorithm optimization. Considering the overall and localized chip deformation, the value and variation trend of the tool-contact length predicted by these three models agreed well with the experimental results.

Wave Protection Effect of Periodic Row of Bottom-Hinged Flap-Type Wave Energy Converters

A flap-type wave energy converter(WEC) is combined with a nearshore breakwater to expand the application of WECs both economically and environmentally. Based on the linear potential theory, an eigenfunction expansion solution is developed for a periodic row of bottom-hinged flap-type WECs exposed to normal waves. Additionally, the viscous effect is considered using the ship rolling solution method with a viscous damping term included in the equation of motion, and the viscous damping expression is also described. The proposed solution is verified by comparison with published literatures. The results including the wave energy conversion efficiency, the reflected and transmitted proportion of the incident wave energy are presented for a range of wave periods and geometric ratios. It is demonstrated that better wave protection effects can be attained with smaller gaps between the WECs, where the transmitted proportion of the incident wave energy is lower. An optimal geometric ratio thus exists for a given wave power absorption and a specific wave period.

Effects of Vortex Generator Jet on Corner Separation/Stall in High-Turning Compressor Cascade

The effects of the vortex generator jet(VGJ)attached at the endwall on the corner separation/stall control are investigated by numerical simulation in a high-turning linear compressor cascade. The results show that the corner separation could be reduced significantly, which results in a wider operation range as well as a more uniform exit flow angle and total pressure profile. At the near-stall operation point, the maximum relative reduction of the total pressure loss is up to 32.5%,, whereas the jet mass ratio is less than 0.4%,. Based on the analysis of the detailed flow structure, three principal effects of the VGJ on the endwall cross flow and corner separation are identified. One is to increase the tangential velocity component opposite to cross flow, thus inhibiting the endwall secondary flow near the jet exit. The second is to suppress the pitchwise extension of the passage vortex as an air fence. The third is to sweep the low energy fluids towards the mainstream on the up-washed side and to transport the mainstream fluids to the endwall to reenergize the boundary layer on the down-washed side.

Blind Image Quality Assessment Based on Wavelet Power Spectrum in Perceptual Domain

Blind image quality assessment(BIQA) can assess the perceptual quality of a distorted image without a prior knowledge of its reference image or distortion type. In this paper, a novel BIQA model is developed in wavelet domain. Considering the multi-resolution and band-passing characteristics of discrete wavelet transform(DWT), an improvement over the power spectrum is put forward, i.e., dubbed wavelet power spectrum(WPS)estimation. Then, the concept of directional WPS is applied to simplify the calculation. Moreover, a rotationally symmetric modulation transfer function(MTF) of human visual system(HVS) is integrated as a filter, which makes the metric to be consistent with the human vision perception and more discriminative. Experiments are conducted on the LIVE databases and three other databases, and the results show that the proposed metric is highly correlated with subjective evaluations and it competes well with other state-of-the-art metrics in terms of effectiveness and robustness.
