复合材料胶铆混合修理的拉伸性能研究 by 刘礼平, 王宇灿, 原志翔, 徐建新, 鲍蕊, 吴枫

“…In order to study the influence of different repair methods and different damage sizes on the tensile properties of composite laminates,experimental investigation on static tensile strength was designed and carried out in this paper with five groups of test specimens,including no-damage specimens,adhesive repair specimens and adhesive-rivet hybrid repair specimens with 60 mm and 30 mm circular hole damage for composite aircraft skin.The three-dimensional finite element simulation models of the test specimens were established,to analyze the difference between the five groups of specimens in terms of failure strength,failure mode,stress values and distribution,and critical sites.The results show that the adhesive-rivet hybrid repair method is a better choice which changes the stress distribution of composite repaired parts,reduces the stress concentration effectively in the critical sites,and improves the strength recovery rate of the structure.…”

Information transmission mechanism of Blockchain technology based on named-data networking by Jiang LIU, Ru HUO, Chengcheng LI, Guijin ZOU, Tao HUANG, Yunjie LIU

“…Recent researches on blockchain have been greatly concerned by academia and industry,while the communication based on TCP/IP protocol was not enough for broadcasting a large volume of data in blockchain technology.Therefore,a novel node model supporting push service for blockchain technology and a special procedure reading-writing the table of the node model were designed based on the named-data networking,which was a distributed network architecture supporting data transmission naturally.And then the information transmission architecture of blockchain technology via named-data networking was proposed.With the aggregation of the requests and data caching,this architecture could reduce the traffic redundancy and accelerate the communication speed.Meanwhile,a use case of bitcoin based on the proposed architecture was given,in order to better understand the architecture.A numerical simulation was used to verify the performance advantages of the proposed scheme.In addition,some related future research directions were presented.…”

A social media geolocation method based on comparative learning by Yongchang XU, Shiduo HUANG, Haojun AI

“…Previous work on social media text-based geolocation focused on mapping language semantic space to geospatial space, which ignores the semantic correlation between social media texts and the distance correlation between geographical locations.To take advantage of these correlations, mCLF, a new unsupervised multiple-level contrastive learning framework was proposed, three contrastive learning modules were designed: a semantic learning module, a location learning module, and a cross-learning module.Transformer encoder was used to obtain semantic representation of posts, utilizing unsupervised contrastive learning method to decrease the distance of semantic representations and location representations of posts with near locations, and then fine-tuned the model with supervised method for geographic location regression or classification outputs.Compared with five baseline methods, extensive experiments based on four datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.…”
