LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN OF A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE FRONT AXLE BASED ON SECONDARY OPTIMIZATION by MA ChaoFan, ZHAO LiHui, YANG ZhenYi, FENG JinZhi, ZHENG SongLin

“…A lightweight design method based on the idea of secondary optimization was proposed for a certain commercial vehicle front axle.The finite element model of the front axle was established and simulated.Combined with the fatigue endurance test,the true load of the front axle was investigated to verify the accuracy of the finite element model.The static tensile load and bending fatigue test of the real material of the front axle are taken as the light weight reference for obtaining the mechanical performance index of the front axle material after heat treatment.The overall model of the front axle is optimized and secondary optimization based on the mechanical model to ensure that the structure of the front axle meets the requirements of strength,stiffness and service life while achieving a lightweight design.The final total mass reduced 5.7 kg,to achieve the purpose of lightweight design.…”

Algorithm design on energy efficiency maximization for UAV-assisted edge computing by Qihui WU, Wei WU

“…For the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted edge computing system,a two-stage alternative algorithm was proposed to solve the formulated complex non-convex problem.Firstly,the formulated non-linear fractional programming problem was reformulated to the equivalent parametric problem by using Dinkelbach method.Secondly,two sub-problems were further considered based on it.By employing the Lagrange duality method,the closed-form solutions for the central processing unit frequencies and the number of data bits were derived.Finally,based on the solutions obtained,the conditions that the source node prefers to offload/share its data and the relay chooses to forward the computation results,as well as the approaches to achieve high energy efficiency were revealed.Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed design can achieve a performance improvement of up to 20 times over the conventional schemes.…”

Spatio-frequency domain opportunistic access in CR-MIMO system based on primary transmission mode information by Zhao LI, Jian-dong LI, Li-yuan XIAO

“…An opportunistic spatio-frequency access (OSFA) strategy for CR-MIMO system was designed.When spectrum holes exist,cognitive service was implemented applying overlay approach.While there was no idle spectrum available,primary transmission mode information (PTMI) and inter-system interference channel information were exploited.And cognitive service was implemented using underlay approach.The method utilizes both spatial correlation and eigenmode transmission gain in spatial resource quality aluation.Consequently,selection diversity of both authorized channel and cognitive eigenmode was achieved.Moreover,PTMI based signal processing reduced the antenna requirement for cognitive system as well as the power loss of cognitive signal.Simulation results indicate that the proposed method could achieve significant improvement of cognitive service and near-optimal cognitive throughput on the premise that no interference is imposed on the primary.…”

Adaptive resource allocation in multiuser OFDM system based on fairness threshold by ZHANG Chun-fa, ZHAO Xiao-hui

“…In traditional sub-carrier allocation process,user with the highest priority can choose best sub-carrier,which will result in low utilization of sub-carriers.Current improved algorithms can im-prove system capacity and reduce algorithm complexity by sacrificing certain fairness,but they may not achieve fairness requirement among users.In order to solve this problem,a new adaptive resource allo-cation algorithm based on fairness threshold was proposed,in which the priority of the sub-carrier allo-cation was determined by fairness threshold to achieve a rough tradeoff between capacity and fairness.Then power allocation base on particle swarm optimization（PSO） was introduced to realize the required fairness.Experimental results show that the proposed adaptive resource allocation algorithm can satisfy the fairness requirement threshold and improve system capacity.…”

Surface Plasmon Mediated Angular and Wavelength Tunable Retroreflectors Using Parallel-Superimposed Surface Relief Bi-Gratings by Maxwell Dollar, Yazan Bdour, Paul Rochon, Ribal Georges Sabat

“…The two superimposed gratings operate in tandem, with one grating coupling incident light into the SPR mode and the other coupling it back out toward the light source, thereby achieving retroreflection. Monochromatic retroreflection is demonstrated for a target wavelength (785 nm) at angles from 5° to 10°, while multi-wavelength retroreflection is achieved for red, orange, and green wavelengths at corresponding angles. …”

Small passive object location tracking based on millimeter-wave sensing by Ning WANG, Ke ZHAO, Anfu ZHOU, Huadong MA, Jianhua LIU, Ning YANG

“…Since the sensitivity of the millimeter-wave is very strong,the tiny movement of the object can also be sensed by the millimeter-wave as a spectrum change.With this advantage,a small passive object location and tracking method based on the millimeter-wave sensing was provided,which could achieve the high-precision positioning and tracking of target objects.Compared with the traditional active object localization tracking,the target object could not actively transmit signals and the target object was small in the passive object localization tracking.Thus,an effective mechanism was needed to distinguish and separate the reflected signal of the target object and the reflected signal of the background environment.A variety of methods were used to remove the background noise and the burst noise,and a good positioning tracking effect was achieved.The experimental results show that the proposed method can track the movement of a pen with an average error of 0.32 cm.…”

Full duplex secret transmission scheme based on user cooperation by Xiao-lei KANG, Xin-sheng JI, Lu XIA, Kai-zhi HUANG

“…Full-duplex artificial noise scheme can achieve a limited improvement while the interference power keeps increasing and the full-duplex gain is null.To solve these two problems,a full-duplex secure transmission scheme based on user cooperation was proposed,in which the full-duplex receiver used partial power to send artificial noise,and transmitted the downlink signal by the remaining power to the user who shared the same frequency.In order to maximize the system secrecy rate,the beam vector of the desired signal and the artificial noise were designed.Besides,the optimal power allocation factor was obtained by one-dimensional search simply.Simulation results show that compared with the RS-ref and HD methods,the proposed method can achieve an approximate linear growth in high power and can obtain the full-duplex gain.…”
