Lihua Wang^1,*, Zheng Zhong¹
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.114, No.1, pp. 1-18, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2018.114.001
Abstract A semi-analytical form of complex modal analysis is proposed for the time-variant dynamical problem of rotating pipe conveying fluid system. The complex mode superposition method is introduced for the dynamic analysis in the time and frequency domains, in which appropriate orthogonality conditions are constructed to decouple the time-variant equation of motion. Consequently, complex frequencies and modes of vibration are analytically formulated and the variations of frequencies and damping of the system are evaluated. Numerical time-variant example of rotating pipe conveying fluid illustrates the effectiveness and accuracy of this method. Furthermore, the proposed solution scheme is More >

Ranu Gupta^1,3,*, Rahul Pachauri^2,3, Ashutosh Singh^1,4
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.114, No.1, pp. 19-32, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2018.114.019
Abstract This article presents an improved method of despeckling the ultrasound medical images. In this paper a modified local statistics mean variance filter method has been proposed. In the proposed method, more consideration is given to local statistics since local statistical features are more important rather than global features.Various parameters like mean square error, peak signal to noise ratio, quality index, and structural similarity index measure are calculated to analyze the quality of the despeckled image.

Qiang Tong¹, Qingwen Ren^{1, *}, Lei Shen ², Linfei Zhang ², Yin Yang³
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.114, No.1, pp. 33-58, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2018.114.033
Abstract In this article, the post-peak softening stage of the constitutive relation and the elastic stiffness degradation of concrete are investigated, and a highly reasonable constitutive relation curve is proposed. At the material level, the energy change in the concrete failure process is studied based on the different stress-strain curves of concrete under uniaxial tension and compression. The concrete failure criterion based on elastic strain energy density is deemed suitable and consistent with the experimental phenomena. The hysteresis phenomenon (lags behind the peak strength) is also discussed. At the structure level, the strength reduction method is More >

CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.114, No.1, pp. 59-73, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2018.114.059
Abstract In this paper, a three dimension model is built according to real surface cleaner in airport runway rubber mark cleaning vehicle and numerical simulation of this model is carried out using Ansys Fluent software. After comparison and analysis the flow field between high speed rotating waterjet and static waterjet formerly studied by other researchers, the influences of different standoff distance from nozzle outlet to runway surface and rotation speed on rubber mark cleaning effect is simulated and analyzed. Results show the optimal operation parameters for the simulated model and quantitative advices are given for design, More >

CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.114, No.1, pp. 75-93, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2018.114.075
Abstract The failure behavior of the precast prestressed concrete T girder was investigated by destructive test and finite-element analysis, and the mid-span deflection, girder stiffness and the variation of the cross section strain in the loading process were obtained, and the mechanical properties, mechanical behavior, elastic and plastic behavior and ultimate bearing capacity of T girder with large span were revealed. Furthermore, the relationship between the beam stiffness degradation, the neutral axis in cross-section, steel yielding and concrete cracking are investigated and analyzed. A method was proposed to predict the residual bearing capacity of a bridge More >

A Novel Interacting Multiple-Model Method and Its Application to Moisture Content Prediction of ASP Flooding
Shurong Li^1,*, Yulei Ge², Renlin Zang²
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.114, No.1, pp. 95-116, 2018, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2018.114.095
Abstract In this paper, an interacting multiple-model (IMM) method based on data-driven identification model is proposed for the prediction of nonlinear dynamic systems. Firstly, two basic models are selected as combination components due to their proved effectiveness. One is Gaussian process (GP) model, which can provide the predictive variance of the predicted output and only has several optimizing parameters. The other is regularized extreme learning machine (RELM) model, which can improve the over-fitting problem resulted by empirical risk minimization principle and enhances the overall generalization performance. Then both of the models are updated continually using meaningful… More >
