Abstract In any classical value-based reinforcement learning method, an agent, despite of its continuous interactions with the environment, is yet unable to quickly generate a complete and independent description of the entire environment, leaving the learning method to struggle with a difficult dilemma of choosing between the two tasks, namely exploration and exploitation. This problem becomes more pronounced when the agent has to deal with a dynamic environment, of which the configuration and/or parameters are constantly changing. In this paper, this problem is approached by first mapping a reinforcement learning scheme to a directed graph, and the set that contains all… More >

Abstract The use of magnesium alloys has been rapidly increased due to their ability to maintain high strengths at light weights. However weldability of steels and aluminum alloys by using resistance spot weld (RSW) process is a major issue, because it cannot be directly utilized for magnesium alloys. In this study, a structural-thermal-electrical finite element (FE) model has been developed to predict the distribution of residual stresses in RSW AZ61 magnesium alloy. Thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of AZ61 magnesium alloy have been experimentally determined, and have been used in FE model to increase the accuracy of the model.

Abstract Maintenance is an important aspect in the lifecycle of communication network devices. Prevalent problems in the maintenance of communication networks include inconvenient data carrying and sub-optimal scheduling of work orders, which significantly restrict the efficiency of maintenance work. Moreover, most maintenance systems are still based on cloud architectures that slow down data transfer. With a focus on the completion time, quality, and load balancing of maintenance work, we propose in this paper a learning-based virus evolutionary genetic algorithm with multiple quality-of-service (QoS) constraints to implement intelligent scheduling in an edge network. The algorithm maintains the diversity of the population and… More >

Abstract This article proposes an exponential adjustment inertia weight immune particle swarm optimization (EAIW-IPSO) to enhance the accuracy and reliability regarding the selection of shield tunneling parameter values. According to the iteration changes and the range of inertia weight in particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO), the inertia weight is adjusted by the form of exponential function. Meanwhile, the self-regulation mechanism of the immune system is combined with the PSO. 12 benchmark functions and the realistic cases of shield tunneling parameter value selection are utilized to demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed EAIW-IPSO algorithm. Comparison with other improved PSO indicates… More >

Abstract An Euler wavelets method is proposed to solve a class of nonlinear variable order fractional differential equations in this paper. The properties of Euler wavelets and their operational matrix together with a family of piecewise functions are first presented. Then they are utilized to reduce the problem to the solution of a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. And the convergence of the Euler wavelets basis is given. The method is computationally attractive and some numerical examples are provided to illustrate its high accuracy. More >

Abstract Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a respiratory syndrome that occurs due to insufficient airflow through the respiratory or respiratory arrest while sleeping and sometimes due to the reduced oxygen saturation. The aim of this paper is to analyze the respiratory signal of a person to detect the Normal Breathing Activity and the Sleep Apnea (SA) activity. In the proposed method, the time domain and frequency domain features of respiration signal obtained from the PPG device are extracted. These features are applied to the Classification and Regression Tree (CART)-Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) classifier which classifies the signal into normal breathing signal… More >

Abstract A elastic-plastic fatigue crack growth (FCG) finite element model was developed for predicting crack growth rate under cyclic load. The propagation criterion for this model was established based on plastically dissipated energy. The crack growth simulation under cyclic computation was implemented through the ABAQUS scripting interface. The predictions of this model are in good agreement with the results of crack propagation experiment of compact tension specimen made of 304 stainless steel. Based on the proposed model, the single peak overload retardation effect of elastic-plastic fatigue crack was analyzed. The results shows that the single peak overload will reduce the accumulation… More >

Abstract The low frequency load of an underwater explosion bubble and the generated waves can cause significant rigid motion of a ship that threaten its stability. In order to study the fluid-structure interaction qualitatively, a two-dimensional underwater explosion bubble dynamics model, based on the potential flow theory, is established with a double-vortex model for the doubly connected bubble dynamics simulation, and the bubble shows similar dynamics to that in 3-dimensional domain. A fully nonlinear fluid-structure interaction model is established considering the rigid motion of the floating body using the mode-decomposition method. Convergence test of the model is implemented by simulating the… More >

Abstract The multistage face gears are the core component of the planetary gear train, which is symmetrically meshed by multiple single-stage face gear and multiple cylindrical gears. However, it is difficult to synchronize the contact between face gears and cylindrical gear due to the tooth number differences. Thus, the interference problems between two stages and big stress concentration are obvious. The crown surface configuration technology and structure design were introduced to optimize the meshing condition. To improve the double crown design feasibility and meshing stability, it is necessary to establish a reasonable multistage face gears pair simulation model to evaluate various… More >
