Traditional building construction projects generally suffer from prominent problems such as fragmented multi-disciplinary drawing information, frequent collisions between pipelines and components, experience-based schedule planning, and extensive on-site management and control methods. These problems not only easily lead to rework and cost overruns but also cause construction delays and resource waste. Taking building construction projects as the research carrier, this paper systematically constructs a technical system for intelligent construction collision detection and a method for schedule dynamic control based on BIM 3D modeling technology. By building a fully collaborative BIM model for all disciplines, it realizes the pre-identification of collision risks in the design stage, dynamic detection and intelligent optimization in the construction stage, and completes schedule planning correlation, key process optimization and dynamic tracking control combined with 4D-BIM technology. Engineering practice shows that this integrated technical system can significantly reduce the incidence of construction collisions, greatly cut rework losses, optimize process connection logic, effectively improve the accuracy of project schedule control and overall construction efficiency, and provide a theoretical basis and practical reference for intelligent construction management of building construction projects.展开更多

The best performance of a project can be achieved through the precise definition of construction product, rational work break structure, lean supply chain, decrease of resources waste, objective control and so forth. Referring to the characteristics of schedule planning of construction projects and lean construction philosophy, we proposed optimizing methodology of real-time and dynamic schedule of construction projects based on lean construction. The basis of the methodology is process reorganization and lean supply in construction enterprises. The traditional estimating method of the activity duration is fuzzy and random;however, a newly proposed lean forecasting method employs multi-components linear-regression, back-propagation artificial neural networks and learning curve. Taking account of the limited resources and the fixed duration of a project, the optimizing method of the real-time and dynamic schedule adopts the concept of resource driving. To optimize the schedule of a construction project timely and effectively, an intellectualized schedule management system was developed. It can work out the initial schedule, optimize the real-time and dynamic schedule, and display the schedule with the Gant Chart, the net-work graph and the space-time line chart.

METHODS: The study was a multicentric, double blind, randomized (3:1) study using three doses of vaccine immunization schedule (20μg for those above 10 years old and 10 μg for those below 10 years old) on d 0, 30 and 60. One hundred and sixty-six subjects were enrolled (87 males and 76 females aged 5-35 years). The main outcome measure was assessment of immunogenicity and safety. RESULTS: A 100% seroconversion response was observed on the 30th d after the 1st injection in both the experimental groups.

It is generally seen as an imperfect maintenance action which has a chief influence on the maintenance strategy. In order to model the maintenance effect of servicing, this study analyzes the deterioration characteristics of system under scheduled servicing. And then the deterioration model is established from the failure mechanism by compound Poisson process. On the basis of the system damage value and failure mechanism, the failure rate refresh factor is proposed to describe the maintenance effect of servicing. A maintenance strategy is developed which combines the benefits of scheduled servicing and preventive maintenance. Then the optimization model is given to determine the optimal servicing period and preventive maintenance time, with an objective to minimize the system expected life-cycle cost per unit time and a constraint on system survival probability for the duration of mission time. Subject to mission time, it can control the ability of accomplishing the mission at any time so as to ensure the high dependability. An example of water pump rotor relating to scheduled servicing is introduced to illustrate the failure rate refresh factor and the proposed maintenance strategy. Compared with traditional methods, the numerical results show that the failure rate refresh factor can describe the maintenance effect of servicing more intuitively and objectively. It also demonstrates that this maintenance strategy can prolong the lifetime, reduce the total lifetime maintenance cost and guarantee the dependability of system.展开更多

However, unreasonable design in the control schedule causes not only performance deterioration but also serious aerodynamic stability problems. Thus, in this work,a hybrid optimization method that automatically chooses the working modes and identifies the optimal and smooth control schedules is proposed, by combining the differential evolution algorithm and the Latin hypercube sampling method. The control schedule architecture does not only optimize the engine steady-state performance under different working modes but also solves the control-schedule discontinuity problem, especially during mode transition. The optimal control schedules are continuous and almost monotonic, and hence are strongly suitable for a control system, and are designed for two different working conditions, i.e., supersonic and subsonic throttling,which proves that the proposed hybrid method applies to various working conditions. The evaluation demonstrates that the proposed control method optimizes the engine performance, the surge margin of the compression components, and the range of the thrust during throttling.展开更多

An understanding of structure-property was established through tensile tests, in conjunction with scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The results show that the steel after intermediate quenching (IQ) consisting of fine and fibrous martensite exhibited the intermediate strength, highest elongation and the best comprehensive performance of mechanical properties, whereas the steel subjected to intercritical annealing (IA) produced a network martensite along ferrite grain boundaries, having the lowest strength and intermediate elongation. Besides, step quenching (SQ) resulted in a coarse and blocky ferrite-martensite microstructure showing the worst mechanical properties of the three different heat-treatment conditions. The strain-hardening behavior was studied through the modified Crussard- Jaoul model, indicating two stages of strain-hardening behavior for all three samples. The highest magnitude of strain- hardening ability was obtained by IQ annealing routes. The analysis of the fractured surface revealed that ferrite/martensite interfaces are the most susceptible for microvoid nucleation. However, martensite microcracks were also observed in SQ sample, and the microvoids are nucleated within the ferrite grain in IA sample as well. The variations in strength, elongation, strain-hardening behavior and fracture mechanism of the steel with different heat-treatment schedules were further discussed in relation to the microstructural features.展开更多

摘要Servicing is applied periodically in practice with the aim of restoring the system state and prolonging the lifetime. It is generally seen as an imperfect maintenance action which has a chief influence on the maintenance strategy.

摘要Considering the multivariable,strong-coupled,and nonlinear features of tandem cold rolling mill,a mathematical model of multi-objective optimization was built to facilitate the design of new systems aiming at equating the relative load,preventing slip,and obtaining best shape.BP(back propagation)neural network based on Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used for predicting the rolling force.The multi-objective fuzzy theory and method were introduced during the optimization.With an example of 1370 mm tandem cold rolling mill,the rolling schedule of the common rolling,the single-objective optimization design,and the multi-objective fuzzy optimization design were compared with each other.The results generated from the case study showed that the proposed approach could significantly decreased the values of three objective functions simultaneously and the performance of the optimal rolling schedule was satisfactory and promising.Moreover,the capability and usefulness of fuzzy application in tandem cold rolling schedule were clearly demonstrated.

摘要The alternative working modes and flexible working states are the outstanding features of an adaptive cycle engine, with a proper control schedule design being the only way to exploit the performance of such an engine. However, unreasonable design in the control schedule causes not only performance deterioration but also serious aerodynamic stability problems. Thus, in this work,a hybrid optimization method that automatically chooses the working modes and identifies the optimal and smooth control schedules is proposed, by combining the differential evolution algorithm and the Latin hypercube sampling method. The control schedule architecture does not only optimize the engine steady-state performance under different working modes but also solves the control-schedule discontinuity problem, especially during mode transition. The optimal control schedules are continuous and almost monotonic, and hence are strongly suitable for a control system, and are designed for two different working conditions, i.e., supersonic and subsonic throttling,which proves that the proposed hybrid method applies to various working conditions. The evaluation demonstrates that the proposed control method optimizes the engine performance, the surge margin of the compression components, and the range of the thrust during throttling.

摘要Rolling schedule not only determines the rolling process to be going smoothly,but also affects the shape accuracy and structure properties of finished strip.In order to gain good strip crown and flatness,the calculation formulas of the most suitable rolling force and bending force are deduced.By taking relatively equal load of rolling power and good shape as objective functions,the optimization mathematical models of finish rolling schedule are established.By contrast,the rolling schedules after optimization can improve the rolling mill working status and ensure the strip crown and flatness to be good.At the same time,the setting value of bending force is improved and this leaves more space for on-line shape control.

摘要In the process of cold tandem rolling,chatter instability leads to serious impacts on enhancing rolling speed,improving product quality,reducing production cost and realizing intellectualization.Chatter occurs with the rolling speed up to a certain threshold value,but the critical speed is determined by both product specifications and rolling schedules.A 5-stand cold tandem rolling mill whose first three stands and subsequent two stands,respectively,have four and six rolls was investigated by formulating its dynamic equations with the corresponding structure-process coupling.By applying the stability-based calculation model about the critical rolling speed in each stand,the system dynamic responses around the critical rolling speed were simulated,and the system eigenvalues which represent instability and characteristic frequencies were figured out.Thereafter,via combining the critical rolling speeds with the system dynamic behavior,a dynamics-based optimization model of rolling schedule for the 5-stand cold tandem system was proposed for the purposes of both the chatter suppression and rolling speed increase.In the optimization model,eight rolling technique parameters(four strip thicknesses and four tensions between the upstream and downstream stands)were taken as design variables,and the constraint conditions were set as no chatter instability in all five stands,and the optimization goal was to maximize the outlet speed of the final stand.The pattern search method was introduced to solve the optimization model.By applying such a dynamics-based optimization model for the 5-stand cold tandem rolling process,the chatter instability was suppressed effectively and the rolling efficiency was improved considerably;therefore,such an optimization model is expected to be valuable for intelligent manufacturing of rolling process.

摘要Low-carbon (0.08 wt% C) steel has been subjected to three different heat treatments to obtain dual-phase steels with different microstructures. An understanding of structure-property was established through tensile tests, in conjunction with scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The results show that the steel after intermediate quenching (IQ) consisting of fine and fibrous martensite exhibited the intermediate strength, highest elongation and the best comprehensive performance of mechanical properties, whereas the steel subjected to intercritical annealing (IA) produced a network martensite along ferrite grain boundaries, having the lowest strength and intermediate elongation. Besides, step quenching (SQ) resulted in a coarse and blocky ferrite-martensite microstructure showing the worst mechanical properties of the three different heat-treatment conditions. The strain-hardening behavior was studied through the modified Crussard- Jaoul model, indicating two stages of strain-hardening behavior for all three samples. The highest magnitude of strain- hardening ability was obtained by IQ annealing routes. The analysis of the fractured surface revealed that ferrite/martensite interfaces are the most susceptible for microvoid nucleation. However, martensite microcracks were also observed in SQ sample, and the microvoids are nucleated within the ferrite grain in IA sample as well. The variations in strength, elongation, strain-hardening behavior and fracture mechanism of the steel with different heat-treatment schedules were further discussed in relation to the microstructural features.

摘要A simple plate crown model was introduced,and the crown-flatness vector analysis method was analyzed.Based on the plate rolling technology,the rolling schedule design of elongation phase is divided into three steps.First step is to calculate the reductions of first pass of elongation making full use of the mill capability to decrease the total pass number.The second step is to calculate the pass reduction for the last three or four passes to control crown and flatness by crown-flatness vector analysis method.In the third step,the maximum rolling force limit and the total pass number are adjusted to make the plate gauge at exit equal to target gauge with satisfactory flatness.The on-line application shows that this method is effective.

摘要The microstructures and mechanical properties of three X80 pipeline steel plates were investigated in this study.The plates were hot rolled by two stages,and cooled by three different cooling schedules to obtain different microstructures and mechanical properties.Transmission electron microscope(TEM)was used to observe the microstructure.The results indicated that the amount of polygonal ferrite(PF)and quasi-polygonal ferrite(QPF)decreased with decreasing of the finish cooling temperature(FCT),while the amount and size of M-A islands were larger.Relaxation promoted the Charpy V-notch(CVN)impact toughness at-20℃,but not the drop weight tear testing(DWTT)property at-15℃,and decreased the strength of the steel.

摘要To design the optimum acceleration control schedule for the Adaptive Cycle Engine(ACE)in the full flight envelope,this paper establishes a direct simulation model of the ACE transient state.In this model,geometric parameters are used to replace the component state parameters.The corresponding relationship between geometric parameters and component state parameters is determined by sensitivity analysis.The geometric variables are controlled when the geometric adjustment speed exceeds the limit,and at the same time the corresponding component state parameters are iterated.The gradient optimization algorism is used to optimize the ground acceleration process of ACE,and the control schedule in terms of operating point of compression components and corrected acceleration rate is used as the full-envelope acceleration control schedule based on the similarity principle.The acceleration control schedules of the triple-bypass mode and the double-bypass mode are designed in this paper.The acceleration processes under various flight conditions are simulated using the acceleration control schedules.Compared with the acceleration process with the linear geometric adjustment schedule,the acceleration performance of ACE is improved by the acceleration control schedule,with the impulse of the acceleration process of the triple-bypass mode being increased by 8.7%-12.3% and the impulse of the double-bypass mode acceleration process being increased by 11.8%-14.1%.

摘要Due to the complex,uncertainty and dynamics in the modern manufacturing environment,a flexible and robust shop floor scheduler is essential to achieve the production goals.A design framework of a shop floor dynamical scheduler is presented in this paper.The workflow and function modules of the scheduler are discussed in detail.A multi-step adaptive scheduling strategy and a process specification language,which is an ontology-based representation of process plan,are utilized in the proposed scheduler.The scheduler acquires the dispatching rule from the knowledge base and uses the build-in on-line simulator to evaluate the obtained rule.These technologies enable the scheduler to improve its fine-tune ability and effectively transfer process information into other heterogeneous information systems in a shop floor.The effectiveness of the suggested structure will be demonstrated via its application in the scheduling system of a manufacturing enterprise.
