Abstract Redundancy, correlation, feature irrelevance, and missing samples are just a few problems that make it difficult to analyze software defect data. Additionally, it might be challenging to maintain an even distribution of data relating to both defective and non-defective software. The latter software class’s data are predominately present in the dataset in the majority of experimental situations. The objective of this review study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of combining ensemble learning and feature selection in improving the performance of defect classification. Besides the successful feature selection approach, a novel variant of the ensemble learning… More >

Abstract In the world of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), optimizing performance and extending network lifetime are critical goals. In this paper, we propose a new model called DTLR-Net (Deep Temporal LSTM Regression Network) that employs long-short-term memory and is effective for long-term dependencies. Mobile sinks can move in arbitrary patterns, so the model employs long short-term memory (LSTM) networks to handle such movements. The parameters were initialized iteratively, and each node updated its position, mobility level, and other important metrics at each turn, with key measurements including active or inactive node ratio, energy consumption per cycle,… More >

Abstract The fatigue life and reliability of wrought carbon steel castings produced with an optimized mold design are predicted using a finite element method integrated with reliability calculations. The optimization of the mold is carried out using MAGMASoft mainly based on porosity reduction as a response. After validating the initial mold design with experimental data, a spring flap, a common component of an automotive suspension system is designed and optimized followed by fatigue life prediction based on simulation using Fe-safe. By taking into consideration the variation in both stress and strength, the stress-strength model is used… More >

Abstract The "curse of dimensionality" faced by high-dimensional complex engineering problems can be tackled by a set of quantitative model evaluation and analysis tools named high-dimensional model representation (HDMR) [1,2], which has attracted much attention from researchers in various fields, such as global sensitivity analysis (GSA) [3], structural reliability analysis (SRA) [4], CFD uncertainty quantification [5] and so on [6]. In this paper, a new method for uncertainty quantification is proposed. Firstly, PCE-HDMR for SRA is developed by taking advantage of the accuracy and efficiency of PCE-HDMR for modeling high-dimensional problems [7]. Secondly, the formulas for… More >

Abstract The proliferation of intelligent, connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices facilitates data collection. However, task workers may be reluctant to participate in data collection due to privacy concerns, and task requesters may be concerned about the validity of the collected data. Hence, it is vital to evaluate the quality of the data collected by the task workers while protecting privacy in spatial crowdsourcing (SC) data collection tasks with IoT. To this end, this paper proposes a privacy-preserving data reliability evaluation for SC in IoT, named PARE. First, we design a data uploading format using blockchain More >

Abstract Background and Objective: The most feared complication of uncorrected secundum Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is crucial in detecting precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) to guide the need for PAH-specific therapy. There is a change in the cut-off value of PVR according to the recently updated PH guideline. How echocardiographic PVR (PVR) correlates to PVR by right heart catheterization (RHC) (PVR) according to the new guidelines has not been known. The aim of this study is to determine the reliability of PVR in detecting PAH in Uncorrected Ostium… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Due to the lack of a quantitative basis for the inspection, evaluation, and identification of existing transmission tower foundations, a new fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is proposed to assess the reliability of transmission tower foundation bearing capacity. This method is based on the reliability analysis of the transmission tower foundation bearing capacity by analyzing the sensitivity of degradation of detection indexes on the reliability of transmission tower foundation bearing capacity, the weighting coefficient matrix is established about the influencing factors in the evaluation model. Through the correlation analysis between the bearing capacity degradation of the More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Carbon fiber composites, characterized by their high specific strength and low weight, are becoming increasingly crucial in automotive lightweighting. However, current research primarily emphasizes layer count and orientation, often neglecting the potential of microstructural design, constraints in the layup process, and performance reliability. This study, therefore, introduces a multiscale reliability-based design optimization method for carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) drive shafts. Initially, parametric modeling of the microscale cell was performed, and its elastic performance parameters were predicted using two homogenization methods, examining the impact of fluctuations in microscale cell parameters on composite material performance. A finite… More >

Abstract The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm plays an increasingly important role in the modern battlefield, and the UAV swarm operational test is a vital means to validate the combat effectiveness of the UAV swarm. Due to the high cost and long duration of operational tests, it is essential to plan the test in advance. To solve the problem of planning UAV swarm operational test, this study considers the multi-stage feature of a UAV swarm mission, composed of launch, flight and combat stages, and proposes a method to find test plans that can maximize mission reliability.… More >
