Abstract Indoor heating with an electrical heating cable, which has no harmful emissions to the environment, is an attractive way for radiant floor heating. To improve the heat transfer efficiency, a novel structure of the heating cable was designed by proposing the concept of the aluminum finned sheath. The transient heat transfer model from the embedded heating cables to the floor is established to validate the feasibility of this novel cable. The effects of the fin number and shape on the cable’s temperature and heat flux distribution were analyzed. The results show that, with the specific More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study addresses the issue of inaccurate single damage fingerprint recognition during the process of bridge damage identification. To improve accuracy, the proposed approach involves fusing displacement mode difference and curvature mode difference data for single damage identification, and curvature mode difference and displacement mode wavelet coefficient difference data for two damage identification. The methodology begins by establishing a finite element model of the cable-stayed bridge and obtaining the original damage fingerprints, displacement modes, curvature modes, and wavelet coefficient differences of displacement modes through modal analysis. A fusion program based on the D-S evidence theory… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In order to improve the reliability of power supply, the sophisticated design of the structure of electric cable network has become an important issue for modern urban distribution networks. In this paper, an electric cable path planning model based on heuristic optimization algorithm considering mixed-land scenario is proposed. Firstly, based on different land samples, the kernel density estimation (KDE) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) are used to estimate the construction cost of each unit grid, in order to construct the objective function of comprehensive investment for electric cable loop network. Then, the ant colony More >

Abstract The electromagnetic losses of submarine cables are mainly caused by the metal shielding layer to prevent the water tree effect and the armor layer that strengthens the strength of the submarine cables. While these losses cause the temperature of submarine cable to rise, and temperature variation will in turn change the conductivity of its metal layer material. In this paper, the electric-magnetic-thermal multi-physical field coupling of the electromagnetic loss variation of the submarine cable is realized by establishing a full coupling system containing Fourier’s law and Maxwell-Ampère’s Law for the photoelectric composite submarine cable.

Abstract To identify the parameters of the extended Debye model of XLPE cables, and therefore evaluate the insulation performance of the samples, the sparsity-promoting dynamic mode decomposition (SPDMD) method was introduced, as well the basics and processes of its application were explained. The amplitude vector based on polarization current was first calculated. Based on the non-zero elements of the vector, the number of branches and parameters including the coefficients and time constants of each branch of the extended Debye model were derived. Further research on parameter identification of XLPE cables at different aging stages based on… More >

Abstract Cybersecurity increasingly relies on machine learning (ML) models to respond to and detect attacks. However, the rapidly changing data environment makes model life-cycle management after deployment essential. Real-time detection of drift signals from various threats is fundamental for effectively managing deployed models. However, detecting drift in unsupervised environments can be challenging. This study introduces a novel approach leveraging Shapley additive explanations (SHAP), a widely recognized explainability technique in ML, to address drift detection in unsupervised settings. The proposed method incorporates a range of plots and statistical techniques to enhance drift detection reliability and introduces a… More >

Abstract The use of carbon-fiber heating cables (CFHC) to achieve effective melting of snow and ice deposited on roads is a method used worldwide. In this study, tensile and compressive tests have been conducted to analyze the mechanical properties of the CFHC and assess whether the maximum tensile and compressive strengths can meet the pavement design specifications. In order to study the aging produced by multiple cycles of heating and cooling, in particular, the CFHC was repeatedly heated in a cold chamber with an ambient temperature ranging between −20°C and +40°C. Moreover, to evaluate how the More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In this paper, the construction process of a cable-stayed bridge with corrugated steel webs was monitored. Moreover, the end performance of the bridge was verified by load test. Owing to the consideration of the bridge structure safety, it is necessary to monitor the main girder deflection, stress, construction error and safety state during construction. Furthermore, to verify whether the bridge can meet the design requirements, the static and dynamic load tests are carried out after the completion of the bridge. The results of construction monitoring show that the stress state of the structure during construction… More >

Abstract The communication system of high-speed trains in railway tunnels needs to be built with leaky cables fixed on the tunnel wall with special fixtures. To ensure safety, checking the regular leaky cable fixture is necessary to eliminate the potential danger. At present, the existing fixture detection algorithms are difficult to take into account detection accuracy and speed at the same time. The faulty fixture is also insufficient and difficult to obtain, seriously affecting the model detection effect. To solve these problems, an innovative detection method is proposed in this paper. Firstly, we presented the Res-Net… More >
