Abstract The different elastic properties of tension and compression are obvious in many engineering materials, especially new materials. Materials with this characteristic, such as graphite, ceramics, and composite materials, are called bi-modulus materials. Their mechanical properties such as Young’s modulus have randomness in tension and compression due to different porosity, microstructure, etc. To calibrate the mechanical properties of bi-modulus materials by bridging FEM simulation results and scarce experimental data, the paper presents a data-fusion computational method. The FEM simulation is implemented based on Parametric Variational Principle (PVP), while the experimental result is obtained by Digital Image… More >

Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential tool for detecting brain tumours. However, identification of brain tumours in the early stages is a very complex task since MRI images are susceptible to noise and other environmental obstructions. In order to overcome these problems, a Gamma MAP denoised Strömberg wavelet segmentation based on a maximum entropy classifier (GMDSWS-MEC) model is developed for efficient tumour detection with high accuracy and low time consumption. The GMDSWS-MEC model performs three steps, namely pre-processing, segmentation, and classification. Within the GMDSWS-MEC model, the Gamma MAP filter performs the pre-processing task and… More >

Abstract To solve the problem that the digital image recognition accuracy of concrete structure cracks is not high under the condition of uneven illumination and complex surface color of concrete structure, this paper has proposed a block segmentation method of maximum entropy threshold based on the digital image data obtained by the ACTIS automatic detection system. The steps in this research are as follows: 1. The crack digital images of concrete specimens with typical features were collected by using the Actis system of KURABO Co., Ltd., of Japan in the concrete beam bending test. 2. The… More >

Abstract The robust design optimization (RDO) is an effective method to improve product performance with uncertainty factors. The robust optimal solution should be not only satisfied the probabilistic constraints but also less sensitive to the variation of design variables. There are some important issues in RDO, such as how to judge robustness, deal with multi-objective problem and black-box situation. In this paper, two criteria are proposed to judge the deterministic optimal solution whether satisfies robustness requirment. The robustness measure based on maximum entropy is proposed. Weighted sum method is improved to deal with the objective function, More >

Abstract In order to improve the quality of intelligent English translation, an intelligent English translation algorithm based on the fuzzy semantic network is designed. By calculating the distance of fuzzy semantic network, classifying and ordering the English semantics to determine the optimal similarity and outputting the optimal translation results, the experiments show the average BLEU and NIST of the three test sets are 25.85 and 5.8925 respectively. The translation accuracy is higher than 95%. The algorithm can translate 246 Chinese sentences per second. This shows it is a high-performance intelligent translation algorithm and can be applied More >

Abstract A numerical optimization method was proposed time ago by Templeman based on the maximum entropy principle. That approach combined the Kuhn-Tucker condition and the information theory postulates to create a probabilistic formulation of the optimality criteria techniques. Such approach has been enhanced in this research organizing the mathematical process in a single optimization loop and linearizing the constraints. It turns out that such procedure transforms the optimization process in a sequence of systems of linear equations which is a very efficient way of obtaining the optimum solution of the problem. Some examples of structural optimization, More >
