Abstract In recent times, the impact of typhoon disasters on integrated energy active distribution networks (IEADNs) has received increasing attention, particularly, in terms of effective cascading fault path prediction and enhanced fault recovery performance. In this study, we propose a modified ORNL-PSerc-Alaska (OPA) model based on optimal power flow (OPF) calculation to forecast IEADN cascading fault paths. We first established the topology and operational model of the IEADNs, and the typical fault scenario was chosen according to the component fault probability and information entropy. The modified OPA model consisted of two layers: An upper-layer model to More >

Abstract Autonomous navigation of mobile robots is a challenging task that requires them to travel from their initial position to their destination without collision in an environment. Reinforcement Learning methods enable a state action function in mobile robots suited to their environment. During trial-and-error interaction with its surroundings, it helps a robot to find an ideal behavior on its own. The Deep Q Network (DQN) algorithm is used in TurtleBot 3 (TB3) to achieve the goal by successfully avoiding the obstacles. But it requires a large number of training iterations. This research mainly focuses on a… More >

Abstract In this study, applicability of various fracture path prediction theories into dynamic elasto visco-plastic fracture is discussed by the moving finite element analyses. Outline of each fracture path theory and numerical method to predict fracture path are explained. Fracture path predictions are demonstrated in the numerical specimen model under mixed mode loading, and numerical results of fracture path prediction are compared. More >

Abstract In this study, numerical simulations of mixed-mode fracture paths in dynamic fracture phenomenon are carried out by using moving finite element method based on Delaunay automatic mesh generation. In addition, the experiments under same condition was carried out, and the both results were compared. The calculated paths by the simulation agree well with the fracture paths of the experiments.

Abstract First, for growing cracks in elastic-plastic materials, an incremental variational principle is developed to satisfy the boundary conditions near newly created crack surfaces. Then using this variational principle, a moving finite element method is formulated and developed, based on the Delaunay automatic triangulation. Furthermore, theoretical backgrounds on numerical prediction for fracture path of curving crack using T* integral are explained. Using the automatic moving finite element method, fracture-path prediction simulations are successfully carried out. More >
