    Topology Optimization of Lattice Structures through Data-Driven Model of M-VCUT Level Set Based Substructure

    Minjie Shao, Tielin Shi, Qi Xia*, Shiyuan Liu*
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.144, No.3, pp. 2685-2703, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.068078 - 30 September 2025
    Abstract A data-driven model of multiple variable cutting (M-VCUT) level set-based substructure is proposed for the topology optimization of lattice structures. The M-VCUT level set method is used to represent substructures, enriching their diversity of configuration while ensuring connectivity. To construct the data-driven model of substructure, a database is prepared by sampling the space of substructures spanned by several substructure prototypes. Then, for each substructure in this database, the stiffness matrix is condensed so that its degrees of freedom are reduced. Thereafter, the data-driven model of substructures is constructed through interpolation with compactly supported radial basis More >

Its compressive strength, a key performance indicator, is influenced by multiple factors, showing nonlinear variation. As compressive strength tests for foam concrete take a long time, a fast and accurate prediction method is needed. In recent years, machine learning has become a powerful tool for predicting the compressive strength of cement-based materials.

    Abstract Nondestructive testing (NDT) methods such as visual inspection and ultrasonic testing are widely applied in manufacturing quality control, but they remain limited in their ability to detect defect characteristics. Visual inspection depends strongly on operator experience, while ultrasonic testing requires physical contact and stable coupling conditions that are difficult to maintain in production lines. These constraints become more pronounced when defect-related information is scarce or when background noise interferes with signal acquisition in manufacturing processes.

    Abstract This study introduces a novel single-layer meshless method, the space-time collocation method based on multiquadric-radial basis functions (MQ-RBF), for solving the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers (BBMB) equation. By reconstructing the time variable as a space variable, this method establishes a combined space-time structure that can eliminate the two-step computational process required in traditional grid methods. By introducing shape parameter-optimized MQ-RBF, high-precision discretization of the nonlinear, dispersive, and dissipative terms in the BBMB equation is achieved. The numerical experiment section validates the effectiveness of the proposed method through three benchmark examples. This method shows significant advantages in computational efficiency, More >

    Abstract This study investigates the transmission dynamics of conjunctivitis using stochastic delay differential equations (SDDEs). A delayed stochastic model is formulated by dividing the population into five distinct compartments: susceptible, exposed, infected, environmental irritants, and recovered individuals. The model undergoes thorough analytical examination, addressing key dynamical properties including positivity, boundedness, existence, and uniqueness of solutions. Local and global stability around the equilibrium points is studied with respect to the basic reproduction number. The existence of a unique global positive solution for the stochastic delayed model is established. In addition, a stochastic nonstandard finite difference scheme is More >

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Algorithms, Models, and Applications of Fuzzy Optimization and Decision Making)
    Abstract Urban transportation planning involves evaluating multiple conflicting criteria such as accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact, often under uncertainty and incomplete information. These complex decisions require input from various stakeholders, including planners, policymakers, engineers, and community representatives, whose opinions may differ or contradict. Traditional decision-making approaches struggle to effectively handle such bipolar and multivalued expert evaluations. To address these challenges, we propose a novel decision-making framework based on Pythagorean fuzzy N-bipolar soft expert sets. This model allows experts to express both positive and negative opinions on a multinary scale, capturing nuanced judgments with higher accuracy. It… More >

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Algorithms, Models, and Applications of Fuzzy Optimization and Decision Making)
    Abstract The increasing prevalence of multi-view data has made multi-view clustering a crucial technique for discovering latent structures from heterogeneous representations. However, traditional fuzzy clustering algorithms show limitations with the inherent uncertainty and imprecision of such data, as they rely on a single-dimensional membership value. To overcome these limitations, we propose an auto-weighted multi-view neutrosophic fuzzy clustering (AW-MVNFC) algorithm. Our method leverages the neutrosophic framework, an extension of fuzzy sets, to explicitly model imprecision and ambiguity through three membership degrees. The core novelty of AW-MVNFC lies in a hierarchical weighting strategy that adaptively learns the contributions More >

    Abstract License plate recognition in haze-affected images is challenging due to feature distortions such as blurring and elongation, which lead to pixel displacements. This article introduces a Displacement Region Recognition Method (DR2M) to address such a problem. This method operates on displaced features compared to the training input observed throughout definite time frames. The technique focuses on detecting features that remain relatively stable under haze, using a frame-based analysis to isolate edges minimally affected by visual noise. The edge detection failures are identified using a bilateral neural network through displaced feature training. The training converges bilaterally… More >

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, central to cardiac monitoring, have increasingly been integrated with Deep Learning (DL) for real-time prediction of CVDs. However, DL models are prone to performance degradation due to concept drift and to catastrophic forgetting.

However, retrieving infotainment data from remote servers often introduces high delays, degrading the Quality of Service (QoS). To overcome this, caching frequently requested content at fog-enabled Road Side Units (RSUs) reduces communication latency. Yet, the limited caching capacity of RSUs makes it impractical to store all contents with varying sizes and popularity.
