Study on Intelligent Compaction-Equipment Logistics Scheduling and Propagation Characteristics of Vibration Wave in Nonlinear Systems with Multistability Based on Field Test by Yixuan Han, Changwei Yang, Degou Cai, Hongye Yan, Hailing Zeng

“…Third, in the propagation process, with the increase in buried depth, the amplitude of fundamental, primary, secondary, until fifth harmonics decreases exponentially (R2>0.9), and the concrete functional relationship among different amplitudes of harmonics can be summarized as y = Ae−BX; fourth, the vibration energy is mainly concentrated near 10–30 Hz in the vibratory roller, but when the vibration wave propagates from vibratory roller⟶filling material, the vibration energy gradually decreases with the increase in depth, and the marginal spectrum gradually changes from one peak to two peaks, that is, 30–50 Hz and 50–100 Hz; fifth, the vibration energy in the vibrational wheel is distributed averagely in the compaction process, and the effective compaction time is two seconds, which will be helpful for revealing the propagation characteristics of vibration wave, optimizing the compaction quality control models and providing some support for the development of intelligent compaction theory of railway subgrade.…”

IHSCR: Energy-efficient clustering and routing for wireless sensor networks based on harmony search algorithm by Bing Zeng, Yan Dong, Xinyu Li, Liang Gao

“…Then, a new energy-efficient clustering algorithm is designed based on several improvements made to harmony search algorithm: (1) a discrete encoding scheme of a harmony for clustering is proposed; (2) a roulette wheel selection method is designed to choose a gateway for a regular sensor node to join, which is employed by two steps (i.e. initialization of harmony and improvisation of a new harmony); (3) the dynamically changed harmony memory considering rate is designed for improvisation of a new harmony; (4) a local search scheme is proposed to improve the best harmony within the harmony memory in iterations. …”
