An experimental investigation on acoustic emission characteristics of sandstone rockburst with different moisture contents

Rockburst occurred frequently during deep mining in China. The mechanism of rockburst is very complicated and related to many factors. In order to investigate the influence of moisture contents of rockmass on rockburst, we conducted a series of laboratory rockburst experiments of sandstone under three different moisture contents by the Modified True-Triaxial Apparatus (MTTA), in which the acoustic emission (AE) system was employed to monitor the internal damage of rock mass. A high-speed video camera was utilized to record the detail of rockburst. Based on the experimental results, the AE characteristics, such as AE count, AE energy, and AE frequency, were analyzed. The rockburst process, type, and indensity under different moisture contents were discussed. The research results show that with the increase of moisture contents, rock strength was soften, the elastic and the cumulative damage of the rock were reduced, resulting in a gradual decrease in AE cumulative counts and cumulative energy over the course of rockburst. This study provides an experimental basis and reference for better understanding to the rockburst mechanism and control.     

Taming complexity in nonlinear dynamical systems by recycled signal

In this paper, the impacts of the recycled signal on the dynamic complexity have been studied theoretically and numerically in a prototypical nonlinear dynamical system. The Melnikov theory is employed to determine the critical boundary, and the statistical complexity measure (SCM) is defined and calculated to quantify the dynamic complexity. It has been found that one can switch the dynamics from the periodic motion to a chaotic one or suppress the chaotic behavior to a periodic one, merely via adjusting the time delay or the amplitude of the recycled signal, therefore, providing a candidate to tame the dynamic complexity in nonlinear dynamical systems.     

Analytical investigation on thermal-induced warpage behavior of ultrathin chip-on-flex (UTCOF) assembly

The serious warpage issues of ultrathin chip-on-flex (UTCOF) assembly induced by mismatched thermal stresses have greatly affected the mechanical stability and reliability of emerging ultrathin chip packaging technology. Currently, a theoretical prediction as a convenient and straightforward approach is still lacked for describing effectively the thermal-mechanical behavior of UTCOF during the adhesive curing and cooling process. In consideration of the adhesive thickness approximating to ultrathin chip and flexible substrate thickness, we develop a layerwise-model of ultrathin chip-adhesive-flex structure under plain strain condition, where the behavior of thick adhesive bonding can be described precisely through increasing the subdivided mathematical plies. Further, the analytical results show that the concave and convex forms of ultrathin chip warpage yield at the end of the curing and cooling process respectively. Meanwhile, the effects of its structure dimensions and material properties are also revealed for discussing a way to relieve the extent of ultrathin chip warpage. Additionally, in order to verify the validity of the theoretical prediction, we also introduce the corresponding numerical technique and experimental method. These results suggest that a kind of rigid and ultrathin flexible substrate such as metal foil should be adopted for small warpage of ultrathin assembly.

Bone Tissue Response to the Bone-like Tissue Coating on Titanium

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of mineralized bone nodules, formed in vitro by bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs), on the new bone formation in bone defect and on implant surface. The mineralized bone nodules were generated by culture of Lewis rats BMSCs on titanium disks in osteogenic induction medium. The gap-healing animal model was used to create the bone defect facing the disk. The titanium disks in the presence of B group or in the absence of NB group bone nodules were randomly placed into one of the rat distal femurs. This self-control design was used to compare the bone formation in defects and on titanium surface, by Micro-CT, fluorescence staining, histological and histomorphometric analysis. The new bone formation parameters in bone defect area of B group were significantly higher than those of NB group at 2 weeks, including bone volume fraction, trabecular thickness and bone area ratio. The bone nodules pre-stained with Alizarin red disappeared mostly at 2 weeks, while the red fluorescence reappeared in the newly formed bone away from the disk surface. For the bone-implant contact, B group showed lower values than NB group at 2 weeks, but no significant difference was found at 4 weeks. Our results indicate that the mineralized bone nodules can be resorbed in vivo and promote the early osteogenesis in the bone defects, and bone nodules may be applicable for new bone generation in bone defect or modification of tissue engineering scaffold.

Modal Identification of Linear Time-varying Systems Using Continuous Wavelet Transform

A wavelet based identification method for linear time-varying systems is presented,and the ridge and skeleton of the continuous wavelet transform of free response is used to extract time-varying parameters. The stiffness and damping coefficients of single-degree-of—freedom systems,frequencies and damping ratios of multi-degree-of-freedom systems are estimated without any prior information of systems. The proposed method is applied to linear time-varying systems with both abrupt and smooth variation parameters. Gaussian white noise is added to the response to test the anti-noise performance of the algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed method is capable of accurately tracking the variation of the systems.     

A Semi-Supervised WLAN Indoor Localization Method Based on 1-Graph Algorithm

For indoor location estimation based on received signal strength (RSS) in wireless local area networks (WLAN), in order to reduce the influence of noise on the positioning accuracy, a large number of RSS should be collected in offline phase. Therefore, collecting training data with positioning information is time consuming which becomes the bottleneck of WLAN indoor localization. In this paper, the traditional semi-supervised learning method based on k-NN and ε-NN graph for reducing collection workload of offline phase are analyzed, and the result shows that the k-NN or ε-NN graph are sensitive to data noise, which limit the performance of semi-supervised learning WLAN indoor localization system. Aiming at the above problem, it proposes a 1-graph-algorithm-based semi-supervised learning (LG-SSL) indoor localization method in which the graph is built by 1-norm algorithm. In our system, it firstly labels the unlabeled data using LG-SSL and labeled data to build the Radio Map in offline training phase, and then uses LG-SSL to estimate user’s location in online phase. Extensive experimental results show that, benefit from the robustness to noise and sparsity of 1-graph, LG-SSL exhibits superior performance by effectively reducing the collection workload in offline phase and improving localization accuracy in online phase.
