STUDY ON ULTRASONIC VIBRATION MILLING FORCE OF OPTICAL GLASS MATERIAL by ZHAO Jie, FU ZongXia

“…In view of the problems such as low efficiency and surface cracks in optical glass processing,the experiment studied the influence of cutting parameters and acoustic parameters on milling forces and established a milling force model of optical glass ultrasonic vibration that based on the high frequency impact effect of ultrasonic vibration,through which on ultrasonic vibration milling of optical glass.The effects of factors such as milling speed,feed per tooth and milling depth on milling force were discussed through comparative experiments on ultrasonic vibration milling and conventional milling of optical glass.The experimental results show that under ultrasonic milling,the milling force is significantly lower than the conventional milling force.…”

Trust system based on node behavior detection in Internet of Things by Yan-bing LIU, Xue-hong GONG, Yan-fen FENG

“…Establishing a trust system, which considers energy efficiency and a trust metric aware both subjectivity and objectivity in the Internet of Things, is a powerful technique to defend against malicious attacks and improve the per-formance of network. A trust system based on behavior detection was proposed, which takes direct trust, recommended trust as well as history statistical trust into trust evaluation periodically and in communication. …”

Optimization of Plug-in HEV Power and Control Strategy Parameter based on the Particle Swam Optimization Algorithm by Yin Andong, Zhang Yu, Zhang Bingzhan, Zhao Han, Wang Ruofei

“…A newly developed plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is taken as research object and the vehicle simulation model is built by using CRUISE on the basis of completing the match of transmission parameters and control strategy design.An optimization model of plug-in HEV parameters is set up,applying optimization software Isight to integrate with CRUISE model.The constraints of the model are the designed power performance and the objective function is the fuel consumption and emission performance.The particle swarm optimization is applied to optimize the transmission system parameters and the control strategy parameter simultaneously.Compared the simulation results demonstrate that fuel consumption per hundred kilometer of PHEV is reduced by 12.5%and equivalent fuel consumption is reduced by 10.7% under UDDS driving cycle after optimization.…”

CF-RIP: a convergence-free mechanism for RIP protocol by WANG Bin1, ZHANG Jian-hui2, GUO Yun-fei2, LAN Ju-long2

“…In order to solve the problem of distance vector routing protocol converge very slowly to the correct routes when link costs increase,a new convergence-free routing protocol CF-RIP using RIP（routing information protocol） was proposed,which is based on failure-carrying packets and multiple viable next hops per destination.The new protocol eliminated the convergence period altogether and could solve the problem of count to infinity.The CF-RIP provided better stability and availability;meanwhile it was proved that a loop-free path to a destination if one such path exists.Simulations performed show that CF-RIP can dealing with the simultaneous failures of multiple arbitrary links effectively.…”
