Constitutive Model of Recycled Aggregate Concrete for Channels Affected by Freeze-Thaw Damage by FENG Hongchun, XU Chengjian, YUE Kedong, YANG Tong

“…The stress-strain constitutive relationship is an important research content of concrete materials.To reveal the mechanical damage law of recycled aggregate concrete under the effect of freeze-thaw cycles,this study builds a statistical model of mesoscopic damage to concrete on the basis of Weibull strength theory and compression experiment results of concrete.The results show that the damage to concrete under the uniaxial load is more significant under the action of the freeze-thaw cycle.As the number of freeze-thaw cycles increases from 0 to 120,the compressive strength and elastic modulus decrease exponentially,and the failure strain shows an upward trend.The Weibull strength theory is employed to construct the constitutive model of concrete damage considering the influences of freeze-thaw cycles,and by fitting,the shape parameter m and the scale parameter ε₀ are solved.In addition,the number of freeze-thaw cycles T is introduced to this model.The comparison of the measured stress-strain curve with the fitted results of the model verifies the rationality of the theoretical model.…”

Game-theoretical analysis of mobile contributors in mobile crowd sourcing network with word of mouth mode by Feng ZENG, Runhua WANG, Jia PENG, Zhigang CHEN

“…The crowdsourcer who calls for sensing service can recruit enough mobile contributors quickly with the word of mouth mode,improving the quality of sensing tasks.The behavior of mobile contributors in mobile crowdsourcing with the WoM was investigated.It was supposed that each mobile contributor was rational,seeking for the highest utility.The behavior of mobile contributors with a two-level Stackelberg game was formulated.In the first-level game,a mobile contributor who directly worked for the crowdsourcer acted as the leader,while contributors invited by first-level contributors were followers called the second-level contributors.In the second-level game,the second-level contributors were the leaders and contributors invited by them were followers.The Nash equilibrium for each Stackelberg game was proved was existed and unique,and designed an algorithm to reach the equilibrium.Backward induction approach to compute the best response of each game was adopted,and the simulation results show the correctness of theoretical analysis for the interaction among contributors in crowdsoucing with WoM.…”

Research on optimal two element exchange algorithm for large scale cloud computing server scheduling problem by Wanliang WANG, Zelin ZANG, Guoqi CHEN, Hangyao TU, Yule WANG, Linyan LU

“…With the flourishing of cloud computing industry,the rational management and scientific scheduling of cloud computing servers has become an important issue.In terms of model,a new mixed integer programming (MIP) model with affinity constraints and anti-affinity constraints was proposed to describe the scheduling problem of large scale cloud computing server.Considering the time cost of solving large-scale MIP problems,an optimal two element exchange algorithm was designed with the basics of branch and bound method and local search algorithm.By constantly extracting MIP sub-problems from completing scheduling problems and using branch and bound method to solve the sub-problems,the algorithm continuously optimized the server scheduling schemes,so that the scheduling schemes approached the optimal solution.The experimental results show that the algorithm has great advantages over the other methods in testing data set ALISS,and can reduce the resource consumption of cloud computing center by more than 4% when the same task is completed.…”

3D channel modeling and space-time correlation analysis for V2V communications by Wenbo ZENG, Yigang HE, Bing LI, Guolong SHI, Feng ZHAO

“…To match complex wireless propagation scenarios,an improved 3D geometry-based stochastic model was proposed for vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communications channel.The exact relationship between the azimuth angle and elevation angle was taken into account and the corresponding space–time correlation function and space–Doppler power spectral density were derived,and the influence of important factors was analyzed.The observations and conclusions show that correlation characteristics is closely related to distribution of the scatterers and the angle of the antenna array under the non-isotropic scattering environment and is affected by the elevation angle of the antenna array under the isotropic scattering environment.And the space-time correlation characteristics in high vehicular traffic density is significantly lower than that in low vehicular traffic density.The corresponding simulation model is also derived by using a reasonable parameter calculation method.The simulation results validate the rationality of proposed model.It greatly improves analysis and simulation efficiency of V2V MIMO system.…”
