Analysis of the Frost-Induced Damage of Building Enclosures on the Territory of the Czech Republic by Jan Kočí, Jiří Maděra, Vojtěch Pommer, Robert Černý

“…Finally, isopleths of the supposed frost damage are drawn, depending on the envelope type, and damage maps are produced which may help the engineers to enhance the building envelope design process. The presented results indicate the necessity of paying attention to local environmental loads in the building enclosure design process and reveal both critical and favorable locations from the point of view of frost-induced damage to buildings.…”

Constant force grinding controller for robots based on SAC optimal parameter finding algorithm by Chosei Rei, Qichao Wang, Linlin Chen, Xinhua Yan, Peng Zhang, Liwei Fu, Chong Wang, Xinghui Liu

“…An optimal parameter finding algorithm based on SAC (Soft-Actor-Critic) is proposed to solve the problem that the compensation term parameters are difficult to obtain, including training state action and normalization preprocessing, reward function design, and targeted deep neural network design. The algorithm is used to find the optimal controller compensation term parameters and applied to the PID controller to complete the compensation through the inverse kinematics of the robot to achieve constant force grinding control. …”
