Abstract The High-Temperature Biaxial Testing Apparatus (HTBTA) is a critical tool for studying the damage and failure mechanisms of heat-resistant composite materials under extreme conditions. However, existing methods for managing and monitoring such apparatus face challenges, including limited real-time modeling capabilities, inadequate integration of multi-source data, and inefficiencies in human-machine interaction. To address these gaps, this study proposes a novel digital twin-driven framework for HTBTA, encompassing the design, validation, operation, and maintenance phases. By integrating advanced modeling techniques, such as finite element analysis and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, the digital twin enables high-fidelity simulation, real-time… More >

Abstract Substation siting is an important foundation and a key task in power system planning. The article is based on a three-dimensional GIS platform combined with an improved BP neural network algorithm and proposes a substation siting method that is more efficient, accurate and provides a better user experience. Firstly, the BP algorithm is enhanced to improve its convergence speed and computational efficiency for a more accurate and reasonable calculation of optimal site selection. Then, a 24-item selection index system with 7 categories is proposed, which provides quantifiable data support and an evaluation basis for substation… More >

Abstract Considering experimental testing data is costly, and sensor data is often sparse, while simulation analysis provides overall strength information with lower accuracy, a digital twin framework is proposed for full-field structural strength assessment and prediction. The framework is mainly divided into two stages. In the offline stage, the simulation model of the structure is established, and the sensor layouts are completed. Then, the DNN pre-training model is constructed based on the reduced simulation data. In the online stage, the experimentally measured data are predicted to obtain the time-series sensors data, and the traditional transfer learning… More >

Abstract As an open network architecture, Wireless Computing Power Networks (WCPN) pose new challenges for achieving efficient and secure resource management in networks, because of issues such as insecure communication channels and untrusted device terminals. Blockchain, as a shared, immutable distributed ledger, provides a secure resource management solution for WCPN. However, integrating blockchain into WCPN faces challenges like device heterogeneity, monitoring communication states, and dynamic network nature. Whereas Digital Twins (DT) can accurately maintain digital models of physical entities through real-time data updates and self-learning, enabling continuous optimization of WCPN, improving synchronization performance, ensuring real-time accuracy, More >
