STUDY ON CRITICAL CTOD OF BIG-THICKNESS AND HIGH-STRENGTH STEELS by XIA ZiYu, MIAO ZhangMu, MA Tao, CHEN Gang, PENG Sheng

“…As one of the essential criteria of assessment to welding toughness,CTOD（ Crack tip opening displacement） is widely applied in engineering.The research on critical CTOD of big thickness and high strength steels has been a hot issue,therefore the theoretical research in China lags behind its overseas.The present paper takes the single edge fatigue precrack of CTOD specimen as a flaw based on the technical route of the British Standard 7910-2005,which is "Guide to methods for assessing the acceptability of flaws in metallic structures".In the meanwhile,make the grading assessments of the HAZ of the60 mm thick EQ70 steel welded joints,combining the results of the CTOD tests.The CGHAZ microstructures of EQ70 steel welded joints has been analyzed by SEM.The assessments on welded joints of EQ70 show that the CTOD values are in the acceptable range.And there are some fine microstructures good for the toughness of the welded joint.This method provides a useful guidance in researches of critical CTOD.…”

Performance Study of Multilayered Multistage Interconnection Networks under Hotspot Traffic Conditions by Dimitris Vasiliadis, George Rizos, Costas Vassilakis

“…The performance of Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) under hotspot traffic, where some percentage of the traffic is targeted at single nodes, which are also called hot spots, is of crucial interest. The prioritizing of packets has already been proposed at previous works as alleviation to the tree saturation problem, leading to a scheme that natively supports 2-class priority traffic. …”

Outage performance analysis for multi-UAV relay systems with threshold-based DF protocol by Zhenlei DAN, Xuewen WU, Jian OUYANG, Xiaoxiao WANG, Chenwei GU

“…The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) relay system has become a hot topic as an effective method for the remote transmission in wireless communications.By taking path loss into account,a relay cooperative transmission system model based on multiple UAVs was established firstly,and the maximum output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system with threshold-based decode-and-forward (DF) protocol was obtained.Then,by assuming that both the uplink and downlink experience Rician distribution,the closed-form expression for outage probability (OP) of the considered system with multiple UAVs was derived.Furthermore,the asymptotic OP formula at high SNR was also derived to show the diversity order and array gain of the considered system,which were convenient to reveal the effects of system parameters on the outage performance.Finally,the computer simulations verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis,and reveal the effect of the relay number,antenna number and the threshold on the system outage performance,thus the proposed scheme can provide guidance for the system design and application.…”

Prediction of the waterborne navigation density based on the multi-feature spatio-temporal graph convolution network by Wei DONG, Leilei ZHANG, Ziheng JIN, Wei SUN, Junbo GAO

“…In the face of the development of the information technology in the port and waterway,the Internet of things (IoT) technology can help to build China’s water transport perception network.The big data analysis of the waterborne transport has become a hot topic for researchers and practitioners in the field of transportation.The navigation density of each port in the water transportation is nonlinear and spatio-temporal correlation,so it is a great challenge to accurately predict it.A multi-feature spatiotemporal graph convolution network (MFSTGCN) was proposed to solve the problem of the traffic density prediction.MFSTGCN effectively captured the spatial-temporal correlation of the ship navigation density data by using the spatial convolution and temporal convolution through three features,which were navigation volume,average ship speed and ship density.The experiment was carried out on the automatic identification system (AIS) data set collected from a shipping platform.The results show that the prediction effect of the MFSTGCN model is better than the spatio-temporal graph convolution network (STGCN) model.…”
