    Abstract Deep learning for topology optimization has been extensively studied to reduce the cost of calculation in recent years. However, the loss function of the above method is mainly based on pixel-wise errors from the image perspective, which cannot embed the physical knowledge of topology optimization. Therefore, this paper presents an improved deep learning model to alleviate the above difficulty effectively. The feature pyramid network (FPN), a kind of deep learning model, is trained to learn the inherent physical law of topology optimization itself, of which the loss function is composed of pixel-wise errors and physical constraints. Since the calculation of… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.128, No.3, pp. 875-906, 2021, DOI: 10.32604/cmes.2021.016485
    Abstract The 12-lead ECG aids in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and is helpful in the prediction of cardiovascular disease complications. It does, though, have certain drawbacks. For other electrocardiographic anomalies such as Left Bundle Branch Block and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy syndrome, the ECG signal with Myocardial Infarction is difficult to interpret. These diseases cause variations in the ST portion of the ECG signal. It reduces the clarity of ECG signals, making it more difficult to diagnose these diseases. As a result, the specialist is misled into making an erroneous diagnosis by using the incorrect therapeutic technique. Based on these concepts,… More >

    Abstract As the number of automobiles continues to increase year after year, the associated problem of traffic congestion has become a serious societal issue. Initiatives to mitigate this problem have considered methods for optimizing traffic volumes in wide-area road networks, and traffic-flow simulation has become a focus of interest as a technique for advance characterization of such strategies. Classes of models commonly used for traffic-flow simulations include microscopic models based on discrete vehicle representations, macroscopic models that describe entire traffic-flow systems in terms of average vehicle densities and velocities, and mesoscopic models and hybrid (or multiscale) models incorporating both microscopic and… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.128, No.3, pp. 967-983, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.015792
    Abstract The corrosion of reinforcement in the concrete will cause the effective cross-sectional area of reinforcement to be weakened and the performance of reinforcement to change and lead to the degradation of the bond behavior between reinforcement and concrete, which can seriously affect the mechanical properties of the structural elements. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to accurately simulate the corrosion morphology and the corrosion products of reinforcement. This paper improves the previous cellular automata models and establishes a new cellular automata model framework for simulating the random pitting corrosion process of reinforcement in concrete.

    Chaowei Lin1,#, Feifei Lee1,#,*, Jiawei Cai1, Hanqing Chen1, Qiu Chen2,*
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.128, No.3, pp. 985-1006, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.014522
    Abstract Scene recognition is a fundamental task in computer vision, which generally includes three vital stages, namely feature extraction, feature transformation and classification. Early research mainly focuses on feature extraction, but with the rise of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), more and more feature transformation methods are proposed based on CNN features. In this work, a novel feature transformation algorithm called Graph Encoded Local Discriminative Region Representation (GEDRR) is proposed to find discriminative local representations for scene images and explore the relationship between the discriminative regions. In addition, we propose a method using the multi-head attention module to enhance and fuse convolutional… More >

    Thermally Induced Vibration Analysis of Flexible Beams Based on Isogeometric Analysis

    Jianchen Wu1, Yujie Guo1,*, Fangli Wang1,2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.128, No.3, pp. 1007-1031, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.016475
    Abstract Spacecraft flexible appendages may experience thermally induced vibrations (TIV) under sudden heating loads, which in consequence will be unable to complete their intended missions. Isogeometric analysis (IGA) utilizes, in an isoparametric concept, the same high order and high continuity non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) to represent both the geometry and the physical field of the structure. Compared to the traditional Lagrange polynomial based finite element method where only C0-continuity across elements can be achieved, IGA is geometrically exact and naturally fulfills the C1-continuity requirement of Euler–Bernoulli (EB) beam elements, therefore, does not need extra rotational degrees-of-freedom. In this paper, we present… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.128, No.3, pp. 1033-1067, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.015885
    Abstract In many civil engineering projects, Piled Raft Foundations (PRFs) are usually preferred where the incoming load from the superstructures is very high. In geotechnical engineering practice, the settlement of soil layers is a critical issue for the serviceability of the structures. Thus, assessment of risk associated with the structures corresponding to the maximum allowable settlement of soils needs to be carried out in the design phase. In this study, reliability analysis of PRF based on settlement criteria is performed using a high-performance hybrid soft computing model. The new approach is an integration of the artificial neural network (ANN) and a… More >

    Ke Song1,*, Paul Liu2, Dongquan Liu3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.128, No.3, pp. 1133-1150, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.016008
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Computer Methods in Bio-mechanics and Biomedical Engineering)
    Abstract A novel beamforming algorithm named Delay Multiply and Sum (DMAS), which excels at enhancing the resolution and contrast of ultrasonic image, has recently been proposed. However, there are nested loops in this algorithm, so the calculation complexity is higher compared to the Delay and Sum (DAS) beamformer which is widely used in industry. Thus, we proposed a simple vector-based method to lower its complexity. The key point is to transform the nested loops into several vector operations, which can be efficiently implemented on many parallel platforms, such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and multi-core Central Processing Units (CPUs). Consequently, we… More >

    Abstract Functional graded cellular structure (FGCS) usually shows superior mechanical behavior with low density and high stiffness. With the development of additive manufacturing, functional graded cellular structure gains its popularity in industries. In this paper, a novel approach for designing functionally graded cellular structure is proposed based on a subdomain parameterized level set method (PLSM) under local volume constraints (LVC). In this method, a subdomain level set function is defined, parameterized and updated on each subdomain independently making the proposed approach much faster and more cost-effective. Additionally, the microstructures on arbitrary two adjacent subdomains can be connected perfectly without any additional… More >

    Abstract In the complexity and indeterminacy of decision making (DM) environments, orthopair neutrosophic number set (ONNS) presented by Ye et al. can be described by the truth and falsity indeterminacy degrees. Then, ONNS demonstrates its advantages in the indeterminate information expression, aggregations, and DM problems with some indeterminate ranges. However, the existing research lacks some similarity measures between ONNSs. They are indispensable mathematical tools and play a crucial role in DM, pattern recognition, and clustering analysis. Thus, it is necessary to propose some similarity measures between ONNSs to supplement the gap. To solve the issue, this study firstly proposes the p-indeterminate… More >

    Abstract Diabetes is a burning issue in the whole world. It is the imbalance between body glucose and insulin. The study of this imbalance is very much needed from a research point of view. For this reason, Bergman gave an important model named-Bergman minimal model. In the present work, using Caputo-Fabrizio (CF) fractional derivative, we generalize Bergman’s minimal blood glucose-insulin model. Further, we modify the old model by including one more component known as diet D(t), which is also essential for the blood glucose model. We solve the modified model with the help of Sumudu transform and fixed-point iteration procedures. Also,… More >
