Abstract In response to the rapidly changing market environment and adapting to many impacts such as political, economic and technological conditions, supply chain managers are increasingly demanding a high-speed and efficient way to adjust the design to optimize the supply chain structure. In order to facilitate the participating companies in the supply chain to quickly and effectively implement the supply chain design optimization strategy, improve the competitiveness of enterprises and the ability of the entire supply chain to resist risks. Enterprises have gradually reduced the space for enhancing the competitive advantage by reducing raw material consumption, labor costs and increasing production… More >

Abstract In order to ensure the safety of fluid flow in deep-water submarine pipelines, a safe and energy-saving built-in skin effect electric heat tracing technology was adopted as the thermal management strategy. The magnetic field distribution of built-in skin effect heating system is analyzed based on the mechanism of built-in skin effect heating system, so as to obtain the equivalent circuit model of built-in skin effect electric heating system. Meanwhile, heating power is introduced as an intermediate variable to establish the relationship between power supply frequency and built-in skin effect heating temperature. Aiming at the skin effect electric heating system, an… More >

Abstract Current research on suture simulation mainly focus on the construction of suture line, and existing suture simulation systems still need to be improved in terms of diversity, soft tissue effects, and stability. This paper presents an integrated liver suture surgery system composed of three consecutive suture circumstances, which is conducive to liver suture surgery training. The physically-based models used in this simulation are based on different mass-spring models regulated by a special constrained algorithm, which can improve the model accuracy, and stability by appropriately restraining the activity sphere of the surrounding mass nodes around the suture points. We also studied… More >

Abstract As a good measure to tackle the challenges from energy shortages and environmental pollution, Electric Vehicles (EVs) have entered a period of rapid growth. Battery swapping station is a very important way of energy supply to EVs, and it is urgently needed to explore a coordinated control strategy to effectively smooth the load fluctuation in order to adopt the large-scale EVs. Considering bidirectional power flow between the station and power grid, this paper proposed a SFLA-based control strategy to smooth the load profile. Finally, compared simulations were performed according to the related data. Compared to particle swarm optimization (PSO) method,… More >
