Master S-N curve method to fatigue damage assessment of the high-ply cutter body by Wenfei Liu, Bo Chen, Chao Zhou, Wei Li, Hengji Yu

“…Meanwhile, the fatigue damage of the three measuring points calculated by the three methods is all below 0.5, and it indicates that the design of the cutter body is reasonable. In addition, the master S-N curve method and equivalent structural stress method were first applied to the fatigue damage assessment of high-ply cutter body, which provides an efficient and high-precision approach for the anti-fatigue design of cutter body.…”

Transport demand as a function of the state of a transport network by T. Sakulyeva

“…A qualitative model based on an appropriate data set creates a qualitative set of input data for the concept, design, and evaluation results. This in turn will allow for a more reasonable design and evaluation of transport projects.Transport modeling varies from developing relatively simple models in the form of tables to models of transport networks, which consider transport demand as a function of the state of the transport network. …”

A method for locating fault sections of power optical communication network intelligent operation and maintenance equipment off-grid based on Dijkstra algorithm by Hailong ZHANG, Bo LI, Najuan JIA

“…In order to determine the mapping relationship between the off grid fault section and the fault current distribution, and find the shortest path between the off grid fault section and the fault current distribution, an off grid fault section location method based on Dijkstra algorithm was designed for the intelligent O＆amp;M equipment of the electro-optical communication network.The LightGBM algorithm in the data-driven method was selected to determine the mapping relationship between the off grid fault section and the fault current distribution through a large number of samples.Based on Dijkstra algorithm, the shortest path of mapping relationship was found, and the off network fault section was searched.The location platform for off grid fault section of intelligent operation and maintenance equipment of power optical communication network was designed to realize the location and alarm of off grid fault point, namely, signal loss of intelligent operation and maintenance equipment.The comparison experiment shows that the location result of this method was the closest to the actual location and the most accurate in the off network fault section location caused by the interruption of optical cable in the SDH ring network circuit area, the off network fault section location caused by the fault of optical cable in the multi way bus section, and the off network fault section location scenario caused by the fault of optical cable in the multi way bus section in the ring power area.It effectively improved the accuracy of fault location and has good applicability.…”
