在风浪影响下的集装箱船航速分析

为优化集装箱船航速,减少油耗,在考虑风浪干扰的基础上,根据船舶航行中的功率关系,建立船舶减速模型。该模型能够计算出在不同风浪条件下船体所受风、浪干扰力以及船舶减速幅度。将建立的减速模型与现有的拟合模型进行对比,结果表明,来自船舶正横前和正横后的风浪合力对船舶航行起到阻碍作用。当风浪来自船舶正横前时船舶降速的幅度较大;当风浪来自船舶正横后时船舶降速幅度较小;船舶降速幅度在相同风浪条件下会随着航速的增大而减小。建立的减速模型比拟合模型更具有适用性,利用建立的模型能够较为准确地估算出在风浪影响下船舶的减速幅度。

Fault diagnosis of a mine hoist using PCA and SVM techniques

A new method based on principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machines (SVMs) is proposed for fault diagnosis of mine hoists. PCA is used to extract the principal features associated with the gearbox. Then, with the irrelevant gearbox variables removed, the remaining gearbox, the hydraulic system and the wire rope parameters were used as input to a multi-class SVM. The SVM is first trained by using the one class-based multi-class optimization algorithm and it is then applied to fault identification. Comparison of various methods showed the PCA-SVM method successfully removed redundancy to solve the dimensionality curse. These results show that the algorithm using the RBF kernel function for the SVM had the best classification properties.

Rapid assessment of regional superficial landslide under heavy rainfall

In order to establish a rapid method for regional slope stability analysis under rainfall,matric suction and seepage force were taken into account after obtaining explicit solution of infiltration depth.Moreover,simplified analysis model under 3D condition was put forward based on identification and division of slope units,as well as modification of sliding direction of each column.The result shows that explicit solution of infiltration depth is of good precision;for the given model,safety factors without taking seepage force into account are 1.82-2.94 times higher;the stagnation point of slope angle is located approximately in the range of(45°,50°);the safety factor changes insignificantly when wetting front is deeper than 2 m;when matric suction changes in the specified range,the maximum variations of safety factor are less than 0.5,which proves that matric suction plays an insignificant role in maintaining slope stability compared to the slope angle and infiltration depth.Incorporated with geographic information system,a practical application of regional slope stability assessment verifies the applicability of the proposed method.

Breakability analysis of the elastic rock beam based on the winkler model

Based on the Winkler model, a mechanic model was established with formulas derived concerned with the deformations before and after a roof breakage at places in front of and at the back of the working face. In accordance with the theory for rock beam breakage, the beam breaking position in front of the working face is specified. In addition, the formulas were developed for the velocity of the subsidence at observatory point A in front of the working face when the coal wall serves as the coordinate center and the advance distance at time t as the dynamic coordinate. In the application of the above-mentioned achievements to the practice of Xieqiao Mine and the mines of the Eastern Panji Company of Huainan Mining（Group） Co. Ltd., the results concerned with the velocity with which the roof stratum tends to subside before and after breakage as derived from the mechanic model are well compatible to the results based on in-situ observations and measurements.

DIMENSIONALITY REDUCTION FOR HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY BASED ON FASTICA

The high dimensions of hyperspectral imagery have caused burden for further processing. A new Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) approach to dimensionality reduction for hyperspectral imagery is presented. The virtual dimensionality is introduced to determine the number of dimensions needed to be preserved. Since there is no prioritization among independent components generated by the FastICA,the mixing matrix of FastICA is initialized by endmembers,which were extracted by using unsupervised maximum distance method. Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF) is used for preprocessing of original data,which can reduce the computational complexity of FastICA significantly. Finally,FastICA is performed on the selected principal components acquired by MNF to generate the expected independent components in accordance with the order of endmembers. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms second-order statistics-based transforms such as principle components analysis.

Chronological constraints on multi-staged rapid cooling of the Tianshan Mountains inferred from apatite fission track analysis of modern river sands

The extreme modern elevation of the Tianshan Mountains reflects the Cenozoic deformation. Apatite Fission Track （AFI） chronometry is widely used to study the latest cooling stages caused by tectonic process or by exhumation in the uppermost crust. However, uncertainties remain over timing constraints on thermal history of the Tianshan Mountains since the Cenozoic though a great mount of dating work had been done in this area. To address this issue, modern river sands from the drainage basin on the piedmont of the Tianshan Mountains were sampled to integrate regional information. Single grains were dated with the AFT method, and then different grain-age components were identified to provide thermochronological constraints of their sources. Combined with discussion of previous dataset, our results show the multi-staged rapid cooling cluster at 46-32, 25-24, 19-13, 8-6, and -3 Ma, respectively. We interpreted these cooling events as a result of interplays between the Cenozo- ic tectonic uplift of the mountains and regional climate change.
