Analysis of the Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Performance of Water-Lubricated Tenmat Bearing by Dong Ning, Wang Youqiang, Liu Qian, Huang Xingbao

“…The elastohydrodynamic lubrication numerical analysis of water-lubricated Tenmat bearing is carried out by using the Reynolds equation with thermal effect.The effects of load,speed and shaft diameter on the pressure and film thickness of Tenmat bearing water lubrication film are discussed by the numerical simulation.The results show that thermal effect has little effect on the pressure,but the film thickness decrease under the thermal condition.The pressure peak is increased greatly with the increase of load,but the film thickness is decreased.The pressure peak is decreased with the increase of speed,but the film thickness is increased.The influence of shaft diameter on the pressure is not obvious,but the film thickness is decreased with the increase of shaft diameter.…”

QLearning based business differentiating routing mechanism in SDN architecture by Zijin JIN, Julong LAN, Yiming JIANG, Penghao SUN, Peng WEI

“…With the diversified development of the current network,users’ demand grows as well which brings great challenge for its load ability.A QLearning based business differentiating routing mechanism in SDN architecture was proposed to guarantee users’ routing QoS.To do that,four modules (discovery of link,classification of link,intensive learning and Q-value table sending) were designed to assign different paths to data streams of different attributes.The experiment shows that the proposed algorithm can decrease the packet loss rate to less than 5% and for some of the data streams,this rate is almost 0,simultaneously,it also helps the delay problem.…”

Time slot-based RED algorithm on self-similar flows:SFRED by WANG Hui, JI Zhen-zhou, SUN Yan-dong, WANG Yuan-zheng

“…Based on fractional Brownian motion（FBM）,one calculation of the packet drop probability in the RED algorithm was derived under self-similar flows.Based on the self-similarity and the long-range dependence characteristics of Internet network traffics,a time slot-based RED algorithm on self-similar flows（SFRED） was proposed to the router queue management.The packet drop probability is calculated in every time-slot so that the burden is greatly reduced.It is simulated by NS2 and the experimental results show that the algorithm SFRED outperforms RED.SFRED can control the queue length under adaptive flows with a good throughput.…”
