YANG Chang-ming, CHENCi-chang, WANGJin-nuo
2004, 17(2): 139-141.
Abstract:
To automatically generate the 3D model of axial-flow pumps, a parametric modeling method based on AutoCAD and VB was proposed. Based on the COM interface of AutoCAD, the impeller of an axial-flow pump was modeled by connecting the hydraulic model database throughADO and by usingVB as programming language. The 3Dflowfield in an axial-flowpumpwas simulated usingthe meanNavier-Stokes equations, the standardk-εturbulence model and the SIMPLEC algorithm, and from the simulated result, its hydraulic performances were predicted. The results show that the numerical simulation can predict the performances of axial-flow pumps so as to provide a reference for hydraulic design.

CHENG Gang, QIUWen-ge, GAOXin-qiang
2004, 17(2): 152-156.
Abstract:
Model experiments with a geometric similarity ratio of 1∶30 were carried out to investigate the ground pressure and internal force of up and down bamboo-truncating tunnel portals for single-track railway. In these experiments, grade of up-slope and crossing angle between portal and railway center line were considered. The experimental results showthatground pressure and internal force around a tunnel portal are related to the thickness of overburden, the grade and the crossing angle: when the crossing angle is 90°, maximumground pressure and bend moment are at the invert bottom of a tunnel portal; when the crossing angle is 45°and 60°, maximum bend moment is on the side walls of a tunnel portal.

Abstract:
Factors influencing the deformation of a dry-dock slope were analyzed. They are soil mass strength, time of non-protection slope, gradient of slope, number of layout excavation, depth of layout excavation, excavation step, rainfall depth and load on slope top. Based on the above and the typical deformation data measured in-situ, an artificial neural network model of predicting the deformation of a dry- dock slope was proposed, and the prediction result is consistent with the measured in-situ result. In addition, the vigilance values for slope deformation for the expanding slope technology, the four judgement modes for slope deformation and their corresponding control measures were put forward.

XIAOXin-biao, SHENHuo-ming
2004, 17(2): 172-175.
Abstract:
Three models for vehicle-bridge coupled vibrations, namely moving mass model, two-degree-of freedom vehicle model and four-degree-of freedom vehicle model, were derived using the D Alembert s principle and the hypothesis ofEuler-Bernulli beam. The dynamic responses of bridges tothe vehicle moving at different speeds were analyzedwith the models. The results showthat all the three models can reasonably determine the bridge vibrations under moving loads. However, more accurate results can be obtained with the last two models taking the springs and damping properties of vehicles into accunt.

Fully Vectorial and Explicit Algorithm for Mould Filling
CHENG Zhi-qiang, Barriere T, Gelin JC
2004, 17(2): 181-185.
Abstract:
To meet the need of industrial application of mould filling simulation, a fully vectorial and explicit algorithmwas proposed on the basis of current explicit algorithms. For the simulation of different mould filling processes, the global solution for pressure field can be avoided by this algorithm, and only the matrix operations at element level are performed. The incompressible condition can be maintained by a corrective feedback operation. All the global solutions can be eliminated in numeral operation, and then the computational cost is closely proportional to the degree of freedom level. As a result, the simulation of injection processes is efficient, and parallel calculation for a high performance systemwith multi-clusters is easy to realize. The comparison of numerical results obtained with this algorithm and 3D simulation using MINI elements proves the validity and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
Vendor-Purchaser Coordination and Quantity Discount Pricing Model in Supply Chain
MAZu-jun
2004, 17(2): 185-188.
Abstract:
Under the non-cooperative game, vendor and purchaser decide optimal lot size according to their own interests. One may be in an optimal condition, but the whole supply chain is not. To optimize the whole supply chain and attain the win-win goal, mutual optimal lot size models and the quantity discount pricingmodels were proposed under the cooperative game. The price discount can be determined with the models and by taking the bargaining powers and contributions of the both sides into consideration.

WANG Yong-zhong
2004, 17(2): 189-194.
Abstract:
A typical low-level wind shear of thunderstorm activates long periodic oscillation of an aircraft, causing tracking deviation of the aircraft. On the assumption that thewind shear is sinusoidal, the effects of long periodic oscillation on the landing path of an aircraft were studied by computer calculation and with flight simulator. It is shown that the results obtained by calculation and simulation are not the same, implying that it might not be adequate to train pilots to manoeuvre the aircraft in low-level wind shear fully based on the available simulating modes of flight simulators.

2004, 17(2): 203-208.
Abstract:
Based on the vector control principle of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), the current, voltage and rotating speed and their influencing factors of the motor in the starting process was analyzed. The linear speed-up phase in the starting process basically determines the starting time, and it can be accelerated by increase its starting torque to the maximum value. In the current set-up phase, the current response mainly depends on the DC voltage. A large filtering capacitor and three-phase supply is helpful to maintain the DC voltage. Both numerical simulation and experiment verified the analyzed results.

ZHANGXiang, XIAOJian, LIANJi-san
2004, 17(2): 209-212.
Abstract:
The characteristic of the transmitting delay of forward and feedback channels were analyzed. According to theworkingmodes of actuators, a linear control object is converted into time-driven and event- driven discrete time models. Two control methods for field bus control system were proposed. The first method transforms randomdelay into constant delay that is then compensated; the sencond method processes random delay directly. These two methods compensate each other and can eliminate the deterioration of delay to the control system performances of field buses.

LIANGMai-lin, ZHAOLin
2004, 17(2): 222-226.
Abstract:
Based on the physical mechanismof the generation of resistance,i.e.the collision of electrons with lattices, the inductive-coupled electric circuit was quantized when there exists resistance in the coupling part. Quantum fluctuations were calculated for both the component circuits and the coupling part. And meanwhile, the temperature effect was included. The result shows that quantum fluctuations change with time, but reach definite values after a long time. The resistance in the coupling part affects the quantum fluctuations both in the coupling part and in the component circuits. Compared to the former results, the quantum fluctuations derived by this newmethod are smaller.

JIANG Zhi-ping, PENG Qiang, LI Yun-feng
2004, 17(2): 229-233.
Abstract:
The error concealment technique introduced in H.26l decoder is not very effective on error resilience of high-motion pictures. An approach,named forward error tracking, compatible with the ITU-T video coding standard H.26L was introduced to stop the error propagation. The approach codes those corrupted macroblocks only by intra-update at the current frame to avoid too much increase in data volume. In addition, a newmulti-frame updating method was proposed to get smooth data stream. The experimental result shows that this technique is effective to stop the error propagation of high-motion pictures.

New Viewpoint of Dissecting Bertrand s Paradox —Analysis of CournotModel withModified Hypotheses
SHIQi-kai, SHIKai-ge
2004, 17(2): 248-252.
Abstract:
The analysis of the general Cournot model shows that the reason for strengthening, instead of dissecting, the Bertrand s paradox lies in that its assumed preconditions are far away fromthe real economic conditions. For this reason, the assumed preconditions were modified as follows: the cost of oligopoly manufacturers entering a professional market increases continuously and the marginal cost of products does not equal zero. Through rigorous mathematical deduction, the following conclusionswere drawn,i.e., the numberof oligopolies is limited by the increasing cost-of-entry, the market capacity is decreased by the existence of the marginal cost, and oligopolistic competition will not result in perfect competition easily.

ZHANG Shen-feng, WUYu-hua, GUOJun-peng
2004, 17(2): 253-236.
Abstract:
A new analysis method of robust stability analysis was proposed for general applications. In this method, the solution of the highest and lowest efficiency scores of each decision making unit (DMU) in an interval data envelopment analysis (DEA) is obtained firstly to determine the interval efficiency score of each DMU and classify DMUs. Then a so-called post-interval DEA model is built. Based on the optimum solution of this model, an index figuring out the stability of maintaining the highest score is introduced. As a result, the analysis of robust stability for interval DEA can be achieved. Finally, to explain the application of this method, an example was given.

YUZhou-qiu, LIUSan-yang
2004, 17(2): 265-268.
Abstract:
The problems of multicast routing and wavelength assignment in all-optical networks were studied. Based on wavelength graphs, a multicast routing and wavelength assignment algorithm for wavelength convertible optical networks was presented. The proposed algorithm deals with the routing and wavelength assignment as a unified process, and adjusts the cost of node with a multicast tree dynamically. It can construct a minimal cost multicast tree satisfying delay bound constraints. Moreover, the algorithm avoids the high complexity common to most delay-constrained heuristics.
