Study of Numerical Simulation during ECAP Processing of Can Based on Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics by Xiaofeng Niu, Chenchen Wang, K. C. Chan, Han Wang, Shidong Feng

“…ECAP (Equal Channel Angular Pressing) is a well-known technique by which a specimen is pressed into an ECAP die to improve the mechanical properties by the nearly pure shear during the deformation process. In the ECAP processing of can, the specimen is canned with a protection material layer to avoid the cracking during deformation. …”

Graph signal processing based pilot pattern design and channel estimation for OFDM system by Bin HE, Guobing LI, Yuan CHEN, Guomei ZHANG

“…Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the key technologies in the physical layer of the internet of things (IoT).Pilot design and channel estimation are key issues in OFDM systems.In view of the problem of performance loss by fixed pilot pattern due to the complexity and variety of IoT communication scenarios, a pilot design and channel estimation scheme based on graph signal processing (GSP) was proposed.Firstly, the time-frequency resource block was modeled as a graph signal, and the channel estimation problem was reformulated into a sampling and reconstruction problem of the graph signal.Then, considering the influence of time-frequency fading, a weighted graph adjacency matrix was designed to construct a graph topology structure based on the time-frequency position.On this basis, the pilot position is selected based on the graph signal sampling theory, a greedy pilot pattern design algorithm based on weighted graph topology was proposed.At the same time, signal reconstruction was performed based on the graph signal reconstruction method, and a channel estimation method based on the graph smoothness constraint was proposed.Compared with the conventional scheme, simulation results show that the proposed method achieves higher channel estimation accuracy in high-speed scenarios of double selective channels, and effectively reduces pilot overhead in low-speed scenarios.…”

Experimental studies of load-bearing capacity and failure behavior of LNG cargo containment systems with multiple layers of insulation under heavy footprint loads by Guijie Shi, Zhiqian Wang, Deyu Wang

“…In order to solve the difficulties of strain measurement on the porous foam, the digital image correlation system (DIC) is adopted to record the strain variation of the front surface during the entire experiment process. The tendency of the vertical stiffness of the experimental model to change can be clearly shown by the applied load and deformation curves. …”
