Time and Space View of Human-Water Relationship Discipline and Its Research Methods by ZUO Qiting

“…The research object of the human-water relationship discipline is the human-water system composed of nature and human society.It has distinct time and space properties and will inevitably encounter problems of temporal and spatial scales.Therefore,it is of great significance to study and clarify the time and space view of the human-water relationship discipline.On the basis of the previous research and common examples,this paper expounds the temporal and spatial scales of research on the human-water relationship.Then,we put forward the time and space view of the human-water relationship discipline and discuss its main arguments and application approaches.After that,we introduce the research methods of the spatiotemporal analysis of the human-water relationship, which mainly include three categories,i.e.…”

Security versus reliability analysis for multi-eavesdropper cooperation wireless networks with best relay by Mei-ling LI, Zeng-shou DONG, Gang-fei WANG, Zhao-ming LU

“…Physical-layer security could be used to effectively combat eavesdroppers and the transmission reliability of the main link could be improved.A wireless relay network with multiple both decode and forward eavesdroppers and relays were considered,in the presence of the link from source to destination.A best relay selection scheme based on multieavesdropper’s cooperation was proposed,and the outage probability and the intercept probability was deduced under both schemes without relay and with best relay.Then,the security and reliability influenced by different relay selection schemes were analyzed.The simulation results show that the achievable channel capacity at the destination node and the system outage probability are directly affected by different relay selection scheme.Lower system outage probability can be achieved by the proposed scheme,and the system outage probability and intercept probability are both decreased with the increase of the number of relays.The intercept probability increases with the increase of the number of eavesdroppers,which,however,can be reduced by increasing the number of relays to ensure the main link’s reliable transmission.…”

Matching and Optimization for the Parameter of Electric City Vehicle Powertrain by Li Wenwen, Sun Houhuan, Xu Xiaowen

“…Under the double pressures of energy crisis and environmental problems,the governments and the automobile enterprises have paid much attention to the pure electric vehicle which has advantages of zero emission,low noise and wide range of energy sources.Electric car is not very different from conventional cars,whether in the main structure or in the appearance.The main change is made in terms of drivetrain.Taking the pure electric city car as our research target,the power transmission system parameter is analyzed and designed,according to the vehicle parameters,power and economy requirements,the vehicle power system parameter is matched.The matched parameters of power system preliminarily is optimized from improving the transmission efficiency,taking the shortest time of acceleration and working conditions driving range maximum as optimization goal.The fitness function of transmission speed ratio is constituted of objective function and constraints condition by using a penalty function.The optimization is carried out by genetic algorithm,the optimal parameters of power system are obtained.…”

Design and Application of Reliability Calculation Program Based on Secondary Development of ABAQUS by ZOU Hong, WU Jian, XU Zhichun, YANG Li

“…As a kind of finite element analysis software,ABAQUS is widely used in nonlinear simulation field,but there is no universal and mature reliability calculation module.Therefore,it is necessary to establish a general reliability calculation program for Monte Carlo simulation based on finite element model to meet the automation requirements of reliability calculation of various structures in ABAQUS.This paper firstly puts forward the design idea and main functions of reliability calculation program in ABAQUS,including random number generation,model batch building,automatic result extraction and so on;then,develops the pre-processing and post-processing modules of ABAQUS with Python language for modularizing the main functions of the program;finally,introduces the application method of this reliability calculation program in detail taking the reliability calculation process of the finite element model of a simply supported steel truss bridge as an example.This reliability calculation program can effectively improve the degree of automation in the process of structural reliability calculation,and reduce the calculation time,which has great reference value in engineering application.…”
