Abstract This study proposes a structure-preserving evolutionary framework to find a semi-analytical approximate solution for a nonlinear cervical cancer epidemic (CCE) model. The underlying CCE model lacks a closed-form exact solution. Numerical solutions obtained through traditional finite difference schemes do not ensure the preservation of the model’s necessary properties, such as positivity, boundedness, and feasibility. Therefore, the development of structure-preserving semi-analytical approaches is always necessary. This research introduces an intelligently supervised computational paradigm to solve the underlying CCE model’s physical properties by formulating an equivalent unconstrained optimization problem.

Abstract Fracture in ductile materials often occurs in conjunction with plastic deformation. However, in the bond-based peridynamic (BB-PD) theory, the classic mechanical stress is not defined inherently. This makes it difficult to describe plasticity directly using the classical plastic theory. To address the above issue, a unified bond-based peridynamics model was proposed as an effective tool to solve elastoplastic fracture problems. Compared to the existing models, the proposed model directly describes the elastoplastic theory at the bond level without the need for additional calculation means. The results obtained in the context of this model are shown More >

Abstract Industrial wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have been widely deployed in various industrial sectors, providing services such as manufacturing process monitoring, equipment control, and sensor data collection. A notable characteristic of industrial WMNs is their distinct traffic pattern, where the majority of traffic flows originate from mesh nodes and are directed towards mesh gateways. In this context, this paper adopts and revisits a routing algorithm known as ALFA (autonomous load-balancing field-based anycast routing), tailored specifically for anycast (one-to-one-of-many) networking in WMNs, where traffic flows can be served through any one of multiple gateways. In essence, the… More >

Abstract This study delves into the formation dynamics of alliances within a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) that encompasses a manufacturer, a retailer, and an e-commerce platform. It leverages Stackelberg game for this exploration, contrasting the equilibrium outcomes of a non-alliance model with those of three differentiated alliance models. The non-alliance model acts as a crucial benchmark, enabling the evaluation of the motivations for various supply chain entities to engage in alliance formations. Our analysis is centered on identifying the most effective alliance strategies and establishing a coordination within these partnerships. We thoroughly investigate the consequences of… More >

Abstract In the real world, one of the most common problems in project management is the unpredictability of resources and timelines. An efficient way to resolve uncertainty problems and overcome such obstacles is through an extended fuzzy approach, often known as neutrosophic logic. Our rigorous proposed model has led to the creation of an advanced technique for computing the triangular single-valued neutrosophic number. This innovative approach evaluates the inherent uncertainty in project durations of the planning phase, which enhances the potential significance of the decision-making process in the project. Our proposed method, for the first time… More >

Abstract Temperature-induced cracking during the construction of mass concrete is a significant concern. Numerical simulations of concrete temperature have primarily assumed that the concrete is placed in an open environment. The problem of heat transfer between the air and concrete has been simplified to the concrete’s heat dissipation boundary. However, in the case of tubular concrete structures, where air inlet and outlet are relatively limited, the internal air temperature does not dissipate promptly to the external environment as it rises. To accurately simulate the temperature and creep stress in tubular concrete structures with enclosed air spaces… More >

Abstract In underground engineering, the detection of structural cracks on tunnel surfaces stands as a pivotal task in ensuring the health and reliability of tunnel structures. However, the dim and dusty environment inherent to underground engineering poses considerable challenges to crack segmentation. This paper proposes a crack segmentation algorithm termed as Focused Detection for Subsurface Cracks YOLOv8 (FDSC-YOLOv8) specifically designed for underground engineering structural surfaces. Firstly, to improve the extraction of multi-layer convolutional features, the fixed convolutional module is replaced with a deformable convolutional module. Secondly, the model’s receptive field is enhanced by introducing a multi-branch More >

Abstract The existence of high-density bedding planes is a typical characteristic of shale oil reservoirs. Understanding the behavior of hydraulic fracturing in high-density laminated rocks is significant for promoting shale oil production. In this study, a hydraulic fracturing model considering tensile failure and frictional slip of the bedding planes is established within the framework of the unified pipe-interface element method (UP-IEM). The model developed for simulating the interaction between the hydraulic fracture and the bedding plane is validated by comparison with experimental results. The hydraulic fracturing patterns in sealed and unsealed bedding planes are compared. Additionally,… More >

Abstract A new one-parameter Chris-Jerry distribution, created by mixing exponential and gamma distributions, is discussed in this article in the presence of incomplete lifetime data. We examine a novel generalized progressively hybrid censoring technique that ensures the experiment ends at a predefined period when the model of the test participants has a Chris-Jerry (CJ) distribution. When the indicated censored data is present, Bayes and likelihood estimations are used to explore the CJ parameter and reliability indices, including the hazard rate and reliability functions. We acquire the estimated asymptotic and credible confidence intervals of each unknown quantity. More >

Abstract Based on the traditional re-entrant honeycomb, a novel re-entrant octagon honeycomb (ROH) is proposed. The deformation mode of the honeycomb under quasi-static compression is analyzed by numerical simulation, and the results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. The deformation modes, mechanical properties, and energy absorption characteristics of ROH along the impact and perpendicular directions gradient design are investigated under different velocities. The results indicated that the deformation mode of ROH is affected by gradient design along the direction of impact and impact speed. In addition, gradient design along the direction of impact can… More >
