Abstract This study considers loadings on the multi-layer web frame structure and uses a novel method of the modified analytical hierarchy process (AHP) combined with modified theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) clustering to perform the creative structure design. The engineering knowledge of multi-layer web frame structure comprises such issues as vibration, yielding and buckling strength. Using the modified AHP, this study firstly applies the ratios of occurrence numbers of related keywords on different hierarchies to analyze the techniques and functions of multi-layer web frame structure, and finds out the priority order of feasible design decisions.

Abstract Large structural problems with high precision and complexity require a high-performance computation using the efficient parallel algorithm. The purpose of this paper is to present the parallel performance of thermal-structural coupled analysis tested on a parallel cluster system. In the coupled analysis, the heat transfer analysis is carried out, and then the structural analysis is performed based on temperature distribution. For the automatic and efficient connection of two parallel analysis modules, the several communication patterns were studied. The parallel performance was demonstrated for the sample and the real application problems, such as a laminated composite More >

Abstract This paper describes the quantum mechanical simulation on the photonic properties of group-III nitride clusters, whose bulk types are common materials for light emitting diodes (LEDs). In order to emit different colors of light using the same semiconductor materials, it is possible to vary the band gap by controlling the quantum dot sizes or doping a third atom theoretically. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to analyze a set of binary (GaN)_n (3≤n≤32) and ternary In_xGa_1-xN (0≤x≤0.375) clusters to study their photonic characteristics. The ground state structures are optimized to calculate the binding energies using More >

Abstract The buckling of hexagonal layers in bulk and nanostructures of AlN is analyzed in the framework of atomistic and first principles techniques. At ambient conditions, the wurtzite structure (B4) of AlN consists of buckled hexagons. On the other hand, a non-buckled B_k structure is found to be metastable at zero pressure, being favored at higher pressures. It is suggested that the energy ordering of B4 and B_k may change in finite systems; an assertion tested in this study by considering finite slabs, nanobelts, and nanorings, and comparing the results with the previous studies on small clusters,… More >

Abstract This paper is devoted to the study of a new application of the Panel Clustering Method [Hackbusch and Sauter (1993); Hackbusch and Nowak (1989)]. By considering a classical 3D Neumann screen problem in its boundary integral formulation discretized with the Galerkin BEM, which requires the evaluation of double integrals with hypersingular kernel, we recall and use some recent results of analytical evaluation of the inner hypersingular integrals. Then we apply the Panel Clustering Method (PCM) for the evaluation of the outer integral. For this approach error estimate is shown. Numerical examples and comparisons with classical More >

Abstract In order to investigate the interaction of point defects with a dislocation, an interstitial cluster or a SFT (stacking fault tetrahedron), computer simulation has been carried out in model Fe and Ni crystals. The capture zone (the region where the interaction energy is larger than kT) was determined for various interactions. Calculated capture zone for T =500°C for SIAs (crowdion and dumbbell) around a straight edge dislocation is larger than that for a vacancy in both Fe and Ni. Capture zones for Ni are larger than those for Fe, suggesting that Ni (fcc) has a More >

Abstract Study on the behaviors of the melting and coalescence of clusters in atomic scale may create new structure at nanoscale, which is a very important research field. The structural evolutions of clusters Cu₃₂₁, Co₃₂₁, and Ni₃₂₁ during their melting and coalescence processes were studied using molecular dynamics simulation with a general embedded atom method in this paper. It was found that the geometries of Cu₃₂₁ and Co₃₂₁ transformed to icosahedron from fcc near their melting points, which leads to the increase of their melting points. Concerning the coalescence, it was found that Cu atoms easily formed a coating More >

Abstract Multiple kernel clustering based on local kernel alignment has achieved outstanding clustering performance by applying local kernel alignment on each sample. However, we observe that most of existing works usually assume that each local kernel alignment has the equal contribution to clustering performance, while local kernel alignment on different sample actually has different contribution to clustering performance. Therefore this assumption could have a negative effective on clustering performance. To solve this issue, we design a multiple kernel clustering algorithm based on self-weighted local kernel alignment, which can learn a proper weight to clustering performance for… More >

Abstract A priori knowledge of the number of tags is crucial for anti-collision protocols in slotted UHF RFID systems. The number of tags is used to decide optimal frame length in dynamic frame slotted ALOHA (DFSA) and to adjust access probability in random access protocols. Conventional researches estimate the number of tags in MAC layer based on statistics of empty slots, collided slots and successful slots. Usually, a collision detection algorithm is employed to determine types of time slots. Only three types are distinguished because of lack of ability to detect the number of tags in More >

Abstract Due to the widespread use of the Internet, customer information is vulnerable to computer systems attack, which brings urgent need for the intrusion detection technology. Recently, network intrusion detection has been one of the most important technologies in network security detection. The accuracy of network intrusion detection has reached higher accuracy so far. However, these methods have very low efficiency in network intrusion detection, even the most popular SOM neural network method. In this paper, an efficient and fast network intrusion detection method was proposed. Firstly, the fundamental of the two different methods are introduced More >
