CHENChun-guang, ZHENG Shuang-ying
2000, 13(1): 14-17.
Abstract:
According to the simplified flowpattern of an up-flowanaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, a structural optimization model is constructed. Through solving the optimization model and analyzing the correspondingresults, it can be concluded that (1) the structure design of the UASB reactor must be focused on the technical development in both the water distribution system and the three-phase separator to increase volumetric efficiency; and that (2) the combination forms oftheUASB reactorwithother processing structures should be developed due to the difficulty of increasing the hydraulic load in a common UASB reactor.

A Simulation of the Hydraulic and Mechanical Response to the Rainfall Process of the Typical Subgrade Slope in Chengdu-Chongqing Railway
XUZe-min, YANGLi-zhong
2000, 13(1): 23-27.
Abstract:
The typical subgrade slope of Chengdu-Chongqing railway is made of sandstone-mudstone layers and its weathering zones are covered by a sand layerwith a thickness of 2~5 m. Simulation tests indicate that the hydraulic and mechanical responses of the slope to a rainfall process is influenced by the initial permeability of the sand layer, the rainfall style and the rainfall amount. The rainfall process which can have a remarkable influence on the seepage field and stress field of the slope should satisfy the following requirements simultaneously: (1) due to a long time of hot weather before rain, the soil layer is intensely evaporated and its initial permeability is good; (2) the rainfall process begins with a moderate or a heavy rain, and continues for a longtime; and (3) the rainfall lasts a longtime, and the rainfall amount is great.

YANGMing-ju, CHANG Shao-dong
2000, 13(1): 32-35.
Abstract:
During the construction of a group of super-large chambers, the most critical problem is the stability of the surrounding rock. So it’s necessary to analyze the excavation sequence and the stability of the underground chambers. In this paper, three main chambers of an underground hydropower station are excavated according to three different schemes. The stability of the underground chambers constructed in accordancewith the three excavation schemes are analyzed and compared by employing three-dimensional nonlinear finite method, supplying a reference for the construction design and field construction. In addition, some relevant comments and suggestion are put forward for the revealed problems in the surrounding rock stability.
On Confluence Movement Modes of Mixed Traffic Flow
LUOXia
2000, 13(1): 36-39.
Abstract:
This paper employs the process describingmethod to reveal the confluence movementofthe mixed traffic flow, obtaining that the mixed traffic flow unnecessarily obeys the rule-“the first arrived is served first”-in confluence process. Using the confluence acceptance probability theory, it is obtained that the same acceptance gap has different confluent probability for different vehicle types under mixed traffic flow, and so the space waste of acceptance gaps is produced. Meanwhile, the theories that the confluence area length and the driveway designing have effects on the service level and capacity of high-class highways, and that the confluence area is the watershed and the abrupt change area of the service level of the highways are explained by computer simulation.

It founds a new way for traffic assignment problems, and at the same time shows a potential practical prospect for the genetic algorithm to be used in the traffic programming.
The Spontaneous Configuration of Ferroelectric-Ferroelastic Materials:Ⅱ ———Polycrystalline Materials
ZHANG Ying
2000, 13(1): 48-53.
Abstract:
As the internal energy densityof ferroelectric-ferroelastic single cystals is the non-convexfunction of the transformation gradients and the electric displacements in the process of polarization, in natural conditions (i.e., without external forces and external electric fields), the stable spontaneous configuration of a ferroelectric-ferroelastic polycrystalline material consists of a coarse mixture of various ferroelectric domains. In this coarse mixture, the volume fractions of electric domains are determined by the continuity requirements of the displacement and the electric displacement on the grain boundaries. Because various kinds of twins can be formed in the material, the volume fraction of the domainswith the same spontaneous deformation gradient depends upon the orientations of the grain boundaries, the orientations of the twining crystal lattices, and the twiningmode. In addition, the volume fraction of ferroelectric domains also depends upon the shape of the twining regio

ZHAO Zheng-jia, HUANGHong-zhong, CHENXin
2000, 13(1): 65-68.
Abstract:
Agenetic-neural network algorithmforoptimumdesign is developed. In the algorithm, the global property of genetic algorithms (AG) and the parallelism of artificial neural networks (AN2) are combined; GA provides global initial solutions, fromwhich AN2obtains the final solutions. Thus, the defects of slow convergence with GA and easily falling into local solutions with AN2can be overcome. An applied example shows that the global property of the new algorithm is better than that ofAN2, and its convergence is better than that of GA.

At the same time, the redundant system is achieved by means of the automatic change-over switch and the network technology, and their compositions are described. It is pointed out that using the network technology to realize the redundancy is a good choice because it is convenient and can improve the reliability of the system.

YANG Fan, WANGJun, CHENDa-peng
2000, 13(1): 72-76.
Abstract:
The paper is mainly concerned with developing a kind of tensorial formulation scheme for low- order hybrid/mixed finite elements based on Hellinger-Reisser variational principle. By making use of the invariance properties of tensors, the disadvantages due to coordinates transformation are totally avoided. Also, inmatchingthe derived strain field, which is in tensorial form, a properselection ofthe optimal stress field is successfully achieved on the basis of“the consistency of one stress parameter with one independent deformation mode”. Thus, a 4-node plane quadrilateral element is obtained. Numerical simulations reveal the remarkable characteristics of the present elements, such as invariance, robustness, having no zero energy,etc.

2000, 13(1): 81-85.
Abstract:
In this paper, the constitutive model by Brinson (1993) is modified, and the constitutive model suitable for shape-memory alloy (AMS) springs is built.

PEI Zheng, HUANGTian-min
2000, 13(1): 98-101.
Abstract:
A fuzzy mathematical approach is proposed for bi-level programming problems in which the upper-level has constraints and the lower-level consists ofNindependent programming units. A bi-level programming problem is divided into many classical ones, then by introducing the concepts of membership functions, the solution of each classical programming problem is discussed with three theorems. Consequently, the bi-level programming problem can be transformed into solving a classical linear programming problem, enabling the problem being simplified.

TANG Yong-chuan, HUANGTian-min
2000, 13(1): 102-105.
Abstract:
This paper proposes a hierarchical learning algorithm for optimizing fuzzy rule bases. In this algorithm, Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy neural network is used for the parametric learning of a fuzzy rule base with steepest descent method. Then, the structure of fuzzy rule bases is optimized with the binary coding method, in which a rule corresponds to a gene bit, and a rule base to a chromosome. This hierarchical learning algorithm can reduce the redundant rules and simplify the fuzzy rule base. A computer simulation verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
