Abstract Important challenges must be addressed to make wind turbines sustainable renewable energy sources. A typical problem concerns the design of the foundation. If the pile diameter is larger than that of the jacket platform, traditional mechanical models cannot be used. In this study, relying on the seabed soil data of an offshore wind farm, the m-method and the equivalent embedded method are used to address the single-pile wind turbine foundation problem for different pile diameters. An approach to determine the equivalent pile length is also proposed accordingly. The results provide evidence for the effectiveness and reliability More >

Abstract Introduction. Aucune étude n’a examiné le lien entre le facteur d’intolérance à l’incertitude et ses effets sur les processus cognitifs de parents d’un enfant en rémission d’un cancer. L’intolérance à l’incertitude est un facteur central dans le trouble anxieux généralisé; trouble anxieux où l’on observe également un traitement altéré de l’information cognitive sous forme de biais cognitifs. L’objectif de l’étude est de mesurer via une tâche de Stroop test classique et de Stroop test émotionnel, l’orientation de l’attention sélective en lien avec le facteur d’intolérance à l’incertitude. Méthodes. Soixante et un parents d’un enfant en rémission… More >

Abstract When the geological environment of rock masses is disturbed, numerous non-persisting open joints can appear within it. It is crucial to investigate the effect of open joints on the mechanical properties of rock mass. However, it has been challenging to generate realistic open joints in traditional experimental tests and numerical simulations. This paper presents a novel solution to solve the problem. By utilizing the stochastic distribution of joints and an enhanced-fractal interpolation system (IFS) method, rough curves with any orientation can be generated. The Douglas-Peucker algorithm is then applied to simplify these curves by removing More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Traditional models for semantic segmentation in point clouds primarily focus on smaller scales. However, in real-world applications, point clouds often exhibit larger scales, leading to heavy computational and memory requirements. The key to handling large-scale point clouds lies in leveraging random sampling, which offers higher computational efficiency and lower memory consumption compared to other sampling methods. Nevertheless, the use of random sampling can potentially result in the loss of crucial points during the encoding stage. To address these issues, this paper proposes cross-fusion self-attention network (CFSA-Net), a lightweight and efficient network architecture specifically designed for… More >

Abstract The process control-oriented threat, which can exploit OT (Operational Technology) vulnerabilities to forcibly insert abnormal control commands or status information, has become one of the most devastating cyber attacks in industrial automation control. To effectively detect this threat, this paper proposes one functional pattern-related anomaly detection approach, which skillfully collaborates the BinSeg (Binary Segmentation) algorithm with FSM (Finite State Machine) to identify anomalies between measuring data and control data. By detecting the change points of measuring data, the BinSeg algorithm is introduced to generate some initial sequence segments, which can be further classified and merged… More >

Abstract Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is known to show advanced features compared to traditional finite element approaches. Using IGA one may accurately obtain the geometrically nonlinear bending behavior of plates with functional grading (FG). However, the procedure is usually complex and often is time-consuming. We thus put forward a deep learning method to model the geometrically nonlinear bending behavior of FG plates, bypassing the complex IGA simulation process. A long bidirectional short-term memory (BLSTM) recurrent neural network is trained using the load and gradient index as inputs and the displacement responses as outputs. The nonlinear relationship between More >

Abstract To detect the improper sitting posture of a person sitting on a chair, a posture detection system using machine learning classification has been proposed in this work. The addressed problem correlates to the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages, as specified by the World Health Organization (WHO). An improper sitting position can be fatal if one sits for a long time in the wrong position, and it can be dangerous for ulcers and lower spine discomfort. This novel study includes a practical implementation of a cushion consisting… More >

Abstract To solve the problem of residual wind power in offshore wind farms, a hydrogen production system with a reasonable capacity was configured to enhance the local load of wind farms and promote the local consumption of residual wind power. By studying the mathematical model of wind power output and calculating surplus wind power, as well as considering the hydrogen production/storage characteristics of the electrolyzer and hydrogen storage tank, an innovative capacity optimization allocation model was established. The objective of the model was to achieve the lowest total net present value over the entire life cycle.… More >
