Abstract In the enhanced geothermal system (EGS), the injected fluid will induce shear sliding of rock fractures (i.e.,
hydroshearing), which consequently, would increase the fracture aperture and improve the heat transfer efficiency
of the geothermal reservoir. In this study, theoretical analysis, experimental research and numerical simulation
were performed to uncover the permeability and heat transfer enhancement mechanism of the Hot-Dry-Rock
(HDR) mass under the impact of shearing. By conducting the direct shear test with the fractured rock samples,
the evolution process of fracture aperture during the shearing tests was observed, during which process, cubic law
was adopted to depict the rock… More >

Abstract Punch shear tests have been widely used to determine rock shear mechanical properties but without a standard sample geometric dimension suggestion. To investigate the impacts of sample geometric dimensions on shear behaviors in a punch shear test, simulations using Particle Flow Code were carried out. The effects of three geometric dimensions (i.e., disk diameter, ratio of shear surface diameter to disk diameter, and ratio of disk height to shear surface diameter) were discussed. Variations of shear strength, shear stiffness, and shear dilatancy angles were studied, and the fracture processes and patterns of samples were investigated. Then, normal stress on the… More >

Abstract This paper proposes a non-intrusive uncertainty analysis method for artillery dynamics involving hybrid uncertainty using polynomial chaos expansion (PCE). The uncertainty parameters with sufficient information are regarded as stochastic variables, whereas the interval variables are used to treat the uncertainty parameters with limited stochastic knowledge. In this method, the PCE model is constructed through the Galerkin projection method, in which the sparse grid strategy is used to generate the integral points and the corresponding integral weights. Through the sampling in PCE, the original dynamic systems with hybrid stochastic and interval parameters can be transformed into deterministic dynamic systems, without changing… More >

Abstract In this paper, the impact of additional food and two discrete delays on the dynamics of a prey-predator model is investigated. The interaction between prey and predator is considered as Holling Type-II functional response. The additional food is provided to the predator to reduce its dependency on the prey. One delay is the gestation delay in predator while the other delay is the delay in supplying the additional food to predators. The positivity, boundedness and persistence of the solutions of the system are studied to show the system as biologically well-behaved. The existence of steady states, their local and global… More >

Abstract Based on the weighted residual method, a single-step time integration algorithm with higher-order accuracy and
unconditional stability has been proposed, which is superior to the second-order accurate algorithms in tracking
long-term dynamics. For improving such a higher-order accurate algorithm, this paper proposes a two sub-step
higher-order algorithm with unconditional stability and controllable dissipation. In the proposed algorithm, a time
step interval [tk, tk + h] where h stands for the size of a time step is divided into two sub-steps [tk, tk + γh] and
[tk + γh, tk + h]. A non-dissipative fourth-order algorithm is used in the rst… More >

Abstract In order to simulate the propagation process of subway vibration of parallel tunnels in semi-infinite rocks or
soils, time domain boundary element method (TD-BEM) formulation for analyzing the dynamic response of
twin-parallel circular tunnels in an elastic semi-infinite medium is developed in this paper. The time domain
boundary integral equations of displacement and stress for the elastodynamic problem are presented based on
Betti’s reciprocal work theorem, ignoring contributions from initial conditions and body forces. In the process of
establishing time domain boundary integral equations, some virtual boundaries are constructed between finite

Abstract The current article discusses the heat transfer characteristics of
ferromagnetic liquid over an elastic surface with the thermal radiation and
non-Fourier heat flux. In most of the existing studies, the heat flux is considered as constant, but whereas we incorporated the non-Fourier flux to get the
exact performance of the flow. Also, we excluded the PWT and PHF cases
to control the boundary layer of the flow. The governing equations related to
our contemplate are changed into non-linear ordinary differential equations
(ODE’s) by utilizing appropriate similarity changes, which are at the point

Abstract High-specific-impulse electric propulsion technology is promising for future space robotic debris removal in sun-synchronous orbits. Such a prospect involves solving a class of challenging problems of low-thrust orbital rendezvous between an active spacecraft and a free-flying debris. This study focuses on computing optimal low-thrust minimum-time many-revolution trajectories, considering the effects of the Earth oblateness perturbations and null thrust in Earth shadow. Firstly, a set of mean-element orbital dynamic equations of a chaser (spacecraft) and a target (debris) are derived by using the orbital averaging technique, and specifically a slow-changing state of the mean longitude difference is proposed to accommodate to… More >

Abstract Considering the interaction between a sleeper, ballast layer, and substructure, a three-dimensional coupled discrete-finite element method for a ballasted railway track is proposed in this study. Ballast granules with irregular shapes are constructed using a clump model using the discrete element method. Meanwhile, concrete sleepers, embankments, and foundations are modelled using 20-node hexahedron solid elements using the finite element method. To improve computational efficiency, a GPU-based (Graphics Processing Unit) parallel framework is applied in the discrete element simulation. Additionally, an algorithm containing contact search and transfer parameters at the contact interface of discrete particles and finite elements is developed in… More >

Abstract This article studies the development of two numerical techniques for solving convection-diffusion type partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) with a weakly singular kernel. Cubic trigonometric B-spline (CTBS) functions are used for interpolation in both methods. The first method is CTBS based collocation method which reduces the PIDE to an algebraic tridiagonal system of linear equations. The other method is CTBS based differential quadrature method which converts the PIDE to a system of ODEs by computing spatial derivatives as weighted sum of function values. An efficient tridiagonal solver is used for the solution of the linear system obtained in the first method… More >

Abstract Speech intelligibility enhancement in noisy environments is still one of the major challenges for hearing impaired in everyday life. Recently, Machine-learning based approaches to speech enhancement have shown great promise for improving speech intelligibility. Two key issues of these approaches are acoustic features extracted from noisy signals and classifiers used for supervised learning. In this paper, features are focused. Multi-resolution power-normalized cepstral coefficients (MRPNCC) are proposed as a new feature to enhance the speech intelligibility for hearing impaired. The new feature is constructed by combining four cepstrum at different time–frequency (T–F) resolutions in order to capture both the local and… More >

Abstract Stress-based topology optimization is one of the most concerns of structural optimization and receives much attention in a wide range of engineering designs. To solve the inherent issues of stress-based topology optimization, many schemes are added to the conventional bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method in the previous studies. However, these schemes degrade the generality of BESO and increase the computational cost. This study proposes an improved topology optimization method for the continuum structures considering stress minimization in the framework of the conventional BESO method. A global stress measure constructed by p-norm function is treated as the objective function. To… More >

Abstract The high frame rate (HFR) imaging technique requires only one emission event for imaging. Therefore, it can achieve ultrafast imaging with frame rates up to the kHz regime, which satisfies the frame rate requirements for imaging moving tissues in scientific research and clinics. Lu’s Fourier migration method is based on a non-diffraction beam to obtain HFR images and can improve computational speed and efficiency. However, in order to obtain high-quality images, Fourier migration needs to make full use of the spectrum of echo signals for imaging, which requires a large number of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) points and increases the… More >

Abstract The complex nonlinear and non-stationary features exhibited in hydrologic sequences make hydrological analysis and forecasting difficult. Currently, some hydrologists employ the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) method, a new time-frequency analysis method based on the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithm, to decompose non-stationary raw data in order to obtain relatively stationary components for further study. However, the endpoint effect in CEEMDAN is often neglected, which can lead to decomposition errors that reduce the accuracy of the research results. In this study, we processed an original runoff sequence using the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) technique… More >

Abstract MapReduce is a widely used programming model for large-scale data processing. However, it still suffers from the skew problem, which refers to the case in which load is imbalanced among tasks. This problem can cause a small number of tasks to consume much more time than other tasks, thereby prolonging the total job completion time. Existing solutions to this problem commonly predict the loads of tasks and then rebalance the load among them. However, solutions of this kind often incur high performance overhead due to the load prediction and rebalancing. Moreover, existing solutions target the partitioning skew for reduce tasks,… More >

Abstract Understanding a phenomenon from observed data requires contextual and efficient statistical models. Such models
are based on probability distributions having sufficiently flexible statistical properties to adapt to a maximum of

distribution. This generalization involves a new shape parameter modulating to the extreme some central and
dispersion parameters, as well as the skewness and weight of the tails. We also investigate the main functions of the
