LUO Qizhi, CHEN Yuji

2007, 20(5): 521-525.

[Abstract](1427)

Abstract:
Based on the variation principle of potential energy and considering the shear lag effect of stresses on flanges and the geometrical nonlinearity of vertical deflection of structures,the nonlinear governing differential equation was derived and solved by using the spline least square collocation method for thin-walled box girder with a variable height.The numerical simulation results are in good agreement with those obtained from experiments.The research shows that the distribution of stresses at the inner support is more uneven than that in the middle section of the middle span for a three-span continuous thin-walled box girder with a variable height under uniform distributed loads,and the nonlinear effectiveness becomes more obvious with the increase of load.

2007, 20(5): 531-536.

[Abstract](1589)

Abstract:
A numerical analysis of the dynamic response,induced by the impulsive wind pressure of trains,of noise barrier structures with stop plank was conducted by using ANSYS software and considering the interaction of pile,soil and structure.The dynamic characteristics of noise barrier structures were investigated by analyzing the effects of the type and speed of trains and the length and height of the structures.The reasonable parameters were provided for the design of the structures for a high-speed railway.The research shows that compared with a CRH3 train,a CRH2 train will result in a greater displacement and bending moment of props of a noise barrier structure,respectively with a increase of 18.6% and 8.5%.The displacement and the bending moment increase significantly with a nonlinear relationship with the increases of train speed and structure height.Under the condition that the length of a noise barrier structure is smaller than 120 m,the displacement and the bending moment increase with the increasing of the length,and then decrease and trend toward stable values.

2007, 20(5): 537-541.

[Abstract](1725)

Abstract:
To overcome the shortcoming of the parameter design of tunnel blasting,i.e.,they are selected empirically by designers,a three-layer neural network model with an input layer,an output layer and a hidden layer was constructed.The Protodikonov’s hardness coefficient,tunnel cross-section area,practical advance per round,blast-hole diameter and others are considered as the input parameters of a BP network,and the designed advance per round,powder factor,contour hole spacing,reliever-hole spacing and excavated-hole spacing as the output parameters.A algorithm for the neural network model was given,and the restrain conditions of network study were proposed on the basis of blasting prior knowledge,so solving of the model can be accelerated.The calculating results for a practical example of tunnel blasting design show that with the help of the neural network model and the algorithm,the parameters of tunnel blasting may be calculated accurately and quickly by using the existed blasting data,so an optimal blasting effect can be obtained.

WANG Zuocheng, LI Yongshu, XUE Lixia, Wang Linlin

2007, 20(5): 548-552.

[Abstract](1347)

Abstract:
To deal with the fuzziness and randomness of image textures,a vector cloud model for texture features was proposed on the basis of the cloud fuzzy theory and was successfully used to the segmentation of textural images.With this method,texture feature vector cloud is generated backward after fuzzily processing the statistical descriptor of textures.The fuzziness and randomness of textures can be represented perfectly by the digital characteristics of the vector cloud model,and as a result,image segmentation can be accomplished by cloud distance calculating and texture feature vector cloud growing.The research result shows that the segmentation accuracy is higher and the convergence speed is quicker using the proposed model than using the iterative self-organizing data analysis techniques algorithm(SODATA) and the K-means cluster algorithm.

2007, 20(5): 600-603.

[Abstract](1411)

Abstract:
The performances of modulation schemes,OOK(on off key),PPM(pulse position modulation),DPPM(differential pulse position modulation) and DPIM(digital pulse interval modulation),used in optical communication over the atmospheric turbulence channel were analyzed and compared in terms of packet error rate(PER) and bandwidth efficiency.In terms of PER,DPIM is the best followed by PPM and DPPM,and OOK is the worst.With regard to bandwidth efficiency,PPM is desirable with a small modulation parameter,and DPPM and DPIM are good with a large modulation parameter.All these schemes,except OOK,require a small laser power.

LIU Hongwu, FENG Quanyuan

2007, 20(5): 604-610.

[Abstract](1330)

Abstract:
A post-inverse discrete Fourier transform(post-IDFT) multidimensional beamforming scheme was proposed for space-time coded-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(STC-OFDM) systems.This scheme obtains multiple eigen mode by decomposing cross-matrix of space-frequency channels,and forms multidimensional post-IDFT beamformings for STC-OFDM systems based on the orthogonality of the STBC transmission matrix.The space-diversity gain achieved by the scheme is the sum of the multiple eigen values,and is the same as that of the sub-carrier beamforming,with a lower symbol error rate(SER) than a STC-OFDM does.The proposed scheme reduces the complexity to 1/S(S is the number of subcarriers of an OFDM system) compared with the sub-carrier beamforming;moreover,when the dimension of the post-IDFT beamforming(m) is less than the number of the transmit antennas(M),the system reduces M-m IDFT blocks.

MENG Fanji, YANG Rugui, ZHANG Shuangwen

2007, 20(5): 611-614.

[Abstract](1352)

Abstract:
The existing reflection and transmission coefficients of a frequency selective surface(FSS) do not apply to calculation of reflection and transmission under normal incidence of waves,and need to be modified.The incident field was decomposed into two components,parallel and perpendicular to the incidence plane,respectively.Consequently,reflection and transmission coefficients were defined by tangential components of the scatter field.The modified coefficients are simple in structure and applicable to incidence at any angle.A numerical result shows that the modified reflection and transmission coefficients agree with those obtained with the commonly used simulator HFSS.

[Abstract](1648)

Abstract:
To enlarge the FSR and improve the band-pass filtering performances of cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometers(MZIs),chirped path differences,rather than fixed path differences,were used based on the similarity between the principles of a cascaded MZIs and a ladder type filter.A theoretical model for cascaded MZIs with chirped path differences was established by transfer matrix method.The variations of 3dB bandwidth and FSR were analyzed.The analysis results show that wider FSR and narrower 3dB bandwidth of cascaded MZIs with chirped path differences can be obtained with an optimized chirp coefficient,and that the optimal chirp coefficient increases with an increase in diffraction order.

2007, 20(5): 631-635.

[Abstract](1331)

Abstract:
A transportation corridor was defined in terms of transportation and regional economy,and its basic structure was analyzed based on the social-technical theory.A transportation corridor was regarded as a biome,and its evolutionary process was elaborated.A 4-phase life cycle model was proposed to describe the ontogenetic process of a transportation corridor on a microscopic scale,and the main phases of its self-organization evolution were discussed on a macroscopic scale.The evolutionary mechanism of a transportation corridor is the coordinated development resulting from the mutual coupling hypercycles between the transportation corridor and the geographical system where it locates,and between the transportation corridor and the transportation system.

YANG Chenghu, DU Wen, WANG Cuihong

2007, 20(5): 636-640.

[Abstract](1430)

Abstract:
Conditional value-at-risk(CVaR) was applied to a study on overbooking problem of ocean shipping containers.An overbooking model of ocean shipping containers was proposed in the CVaR framework,and a set of equations for optimal overbooking levels were obtained by solving the model.The effects of risk aversion and empty container pick-up on optimal overbooking levels were analyzed.The analysis results show that the optimal overbooking level for a risk averse company depends on demand distribution and degree of risk aversion,and may not be less than that for a risk neutral one;and optimal overbooking levels decline if empty container pick-up is considered.

Abstract:
To obtain acceptable shortest paths,which meet the decision-maker’s requirements,for a multi-objective shortest path problem,a model and a polynomial algorithm were presented.The algorithm is a combination of a k-shortest path algorithm and a multi-objective lattice-order decision-making method.In the algorithm,a set of feasible paths for each objective is determined using the k-shortest path algorithm according to the acceptable upper limit for the objective,and the intersection of all the sets is obtained.Then efficient paths in the intersection are compared with each other by the method of multi-objective lattice-order decision-making,and the best one in the set is finally selected as the acceptable path.
