    A Graph-Based Reinforcement Learning Method with Converged State Exploration and Exploitation

    Han Li1, Tianding Chen2, *, Hualiang Teng3, Yingtao Jiang4
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.118, No.2, pp. 253-274, 2019, DOI:10.31614/cmes.2019.05807
    Abstract In any classical value-based reinforcement learning method, an agent, despite of its continuous interactions with the environment, is yet unable to quickly generate a complete and independent description of the entire environment, leaving the learning method to struggle with a difficult dilemma of choosing between the two tasks, namely exploration and exploitation. This problem becomes more pronounced when the agent has to deal with a dynamic environment, of which the configuration and/or parameters are constantly changing. In this paper, this problem is approached by first mapping a reinforcement learning scheme to a directed graph, and… More >

    Residual Stresses in Resistance Spot Welded AZ61 Mg Alloy

    Davood Afshari1,*, Soheil Mirzaahamdi1, Zuheir Barsoum2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.118, No.2, pp. 275-290, 2019, DOI:10.31614/cmes.2019.03880
    Abstract The use of magnesium alloys has been rapidly increased due to their ability to maintain high strengths at light weights. However weldability of steels and aluminum alloys by using resistance spot weld (RSW) process is a major issue, because it cannot be directly utilized for magnesium alloys. In this study, a structural-thermal-electrical finite element (FE) model has been developed to predict the distribution of residual stresses in RSW AZ61 magnesium alloy. Thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of AZ61 magnesium alloy have been experimentally determined, and have been used in FE model to increase the accuracy of… More >

    Context-Based Intelligent Scheduling and Knowledge Push Algorithms for AR-Assist Communication Network Maintenance

    Lanlan Rui1, Yabin Qin1,*, Biyao Li1, Zhipeng Gao1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.118, No.2, pp. 291-315, 2019, DOI:10.31614/cmes.2018.04240
    Abstract Maintenance is an important aspect in the lifecycle of communication network devices. Prevalent problems in the maintenance of communication networks include inconvenient data carrying and sub-optimal scheduling of work orders, which significantly restrict the efficiency of maintenance work. Moreover, most maintenance systems are still based on cloud architectures that slow down data transfer. With a focus on the completion time, quality, and load balancing of maintenance work, we propose in this paper a learning-based virus evolutionary genetic algorithm with multiple quality-of-service (QoS) constraints to implement intelligent scheduling in an edge network. The algorithm maintains the More >

    Improved Particle Swarm Optimization for Selection of Shield Tunneling Parameter Values

    Gongyu Hou1, Zhedong Xu1,*, Xin Liu1, Cong Jin1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.118, No.2, pp. 317-337, 2019, DOI:10.31614/cmes.2019.04693
    Abstract This article proposes an exponential adjustment inertia weight immune particle swarm optimization (EAIW-IPSO) to enhance the accuracy and reliability regarding the selection of shield tunneling parameter values. According to the iteration changes and the range of inertia weight in particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO), the inertia weight is adjusted by the form of exponential function. Meanwhile, the self-regulation mechanism of the immune system is combined with the PSO. 12 benchmark functions and the realistic cases of shield tunneling parameter value selection are utilized to demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed EAIW-IPSO algorithm.

    Solving the Nonlinear Variable Order Fractional Differential Equations by Using Euler Wavelets

    Yanxin Wang1, *, Li Zhu1, Zhi Wang1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.118, No.2, pp. 339-350, 2019, DOI:10.31614/cmes.2019.04575
    Abstract An Euler wavelets method is proposed to solve a class of nonlinear variable order fractional differential equations in this paper. The properties of Euler wavelets and their operational matrix together with a family of piecewise functions are first presented. Then they are utilized to reduce the problem to the solution of a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. And the convergence of the Euler wavelets basis is given. The method is computationally attractive and some numerical examples are provided to illustrate its high accuracy. More >

    Analysis of OSA Syndrome from PPG Signal Using CART-PSO Classifier with Time Domain and Frequency Domain Features

    N. Kins Burk Sunil1, *, R. Ganesan2, B. Sankaragomathi3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.118, No.2, pp. 351-375, 2019, DOI:10.31614/cmes.2018.04484
    Abstract Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a respiratory syndrome that occurs due to insufficient airflow through the respiratory or respiratory arrest while sleeping and sometimes due to the reduced oxygen saturation. The aim of this paper is to analyze the respiratory signal of a person to detect the Normal Breathing Activity and the Sleep Apnea (SA) activity. In the proposed method, the time domain and frequency domain features of respiration signal obtained from the PPG device are extracted. These features are applied to the Classification and Regression Tree (CART)-Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) classifier which classifies the More >

    Numerical Simulation and Experimental Studies on Elastic-Plastic Fatigue Crack Growth

    Jie Wang1, Wei Jiang1,*, Qi Wang1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.118, No.2, pp. 377-395, 2019, DOI:10.31614/cmes.2019.01836
    Abstract A elastic-plastic fatigue crack growth (FCG) finite element model was developed for predicting crack growth rate under cyclic load. The propagation criterion for this model was established based on plastically dissipated energy. The crack growth simulation under cyclic computation was implemented through the ABAQUS scripting interface. The predictions of this model are in good agreement with the results of crack propagation experiment of compact tension specimen made of 304 stainless steel. Based on the proposed model, the single peak overload retardation effect of elastic-plastic fatigue crack was analyzed. The results shows that the single peak More >

    Dynamic Response of Floating Body Subjected to Underwater Explosion Bubble and Generated Waves with 2D Numerical Model

    Zhaoli Tian1,2, Yunlong Liu1,2,*, Shiping Wang1, A Man Zhang1, Youwei Kang3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.118, No.2, pp. 397-423, 2019, DOI:10.31614/cmes.2019.04419
    Abstract The low frequency load of an underwater explosion bubble and the generated waves can cause significant rigid motion of a ship that threaten its stability. In order to study the fluid-structure interaction qualitatively, a two-dimensional underwater explosion bubble dynamics model, based on the potential flow theory, is established with a double-vortex model for the doubly connected bubble dynamics simulation, and the bubble shows similar dynamics to that in 3-dimensional domain. A fully nonlinear fluid-structure interaction model is established considering the rigid motion of the floating body using the mode-decomposition method. Convergence test of the model… More >

    Simulation Analysis on Quasistatic Characteristics of Multistage Face Gears with Double Crown Surface

    Xingbin Chen1, Qingchun Hu1,*, Zhongyang Xu1, Yao Ding2, Qianli Mai1, Chune Zhu3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.118, No.2, pp. 447-470, 2019, DOI:10.31614/cmes.2019.04330
    Abstract The multistage face gears are the core component of the planetary gear train, which is symmetrically meshed by multiple single-stage face gear and multiple cylindrical gears. However, it is difficult to synchronize the contact between face gears and cylindrical gear due to the tooth number differences. Thus, the interference problems between two stages and big stress concentration are obvious. The crown surface configuration technology and structure design were introduced to optimize the meshing condition. To improve the double crown design feasibility and meshing stability, it is necessary to establish a reasonable multistage face gears pair… More >
