Tao Zhan,Wen-Tao Li,Bing-Jiao Fan,Shuai Liu 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2023 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.21 No.4

With A2-C0 and A2-C1 models, this study conducted a series of experimental evaluation on four kinds of type reduction and defuzzification algorithms, namely Karnik-Mendel iterative procedure (KM), Nie-Tan method (NT), q factor method (QF) and modified q factor method (MQ), to show which algorithm exhibits better performance. In the experimental part, the accuracy, computational cost and stability of these methods are compared, and the accuracy between different defuzzification methods are analyzed statistically with the Wilcoxon Nonparametric Test. It is shown that for both A2-C0 and A2-C1 models, the NT, QF and MQ method could save around 80% development time than KM. The associated improvement for the accuracy and stability caused by KM are mainly concluded as: 1) for the A2-C0 model, less than 5% and around 10% than NT, about 0% and less than 5% than QF and around 20% and about 40% than MQ; 2) for the A2-C1 model, more than 60% and over 70% than NT and less than 20% and more than 30% for both QF and MQ. It becomes clear that for the A2-C0 model, the NT and QF method are better choices; while for the A2-C1, KM is a better choice when high accuracy and stability are the prerequisites but if the accuracy, stability and cost of development time are considered synchronously, QF and MQ are better. During the design of the A2-C0 and A2-C1 structures, the reported results provide us a map for the most suitable selection of the defuzzification approach among these four kinds of methods.

A study of microstructures and mechanical properties of laser welded joint in GH3030 alloy

Tao Zhan,Fang Chai,Juan Zhao,Fei Yan,Wei Wang 대한기계학회 2018 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.32 No.6

In this paper, we represent experimental laser welding of GH3030 alloy. The microstructure and mechanical properties of laser welded joints were investigated using an optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, energy diffraction spectrum and other methodologies. The results demonstrated that the weld primarily involved slender dendrites together with a small number of equiaxial crystals. The occurrence of porosities was mainly associated with the composition of the material itself. The cracks in the HAZ were induced by lowmelting-point eutectic phases that formed during laser welding. The segregation of the alloying elements in the matrix induced the variation of the performance within the joint. The average strength of welded joints was 646 MPa, 97.6 % of that of the base metal. Formation of inclusions and micropores in the fusion zone weakened the joint strength greatly.

Evaluation of the Stability of Aspirin in Solid State by the Programmed Humidifying and Non-isothermal Experiments

Zhan, Xian-Cheng,Tao, Jian-Lin,Li, Lin-Li 대한약학회 2008 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.31 No.3

single pair of experiments, one with programmed humidity control and the other non-isothermal, rather than many standard isothermal studies, each at constant relative humidity. In experiments, we adopted the acid-base back titration method to measure the content of aspirin in the presence of its degradation products. It was found that the degradation of aspirin could be expressed as In[($C_o-c$)/c]=kt+D, where D was a lag time item not related to humidity and temperature. The relationship between the degradation rate constant k and humidity $H_r$, and temperature T could be described as Arrhenius equation multiplied by an exponential item of relative humidity: k= A . exp($mH_r$)${\cdot}$exp(-($E_a/RT$)), where A, $E_a$ and m were the pre-exponential factor, observed activation energy, and a parameter related to humidity, respectively. The results obtained from the programmed humidifying and non-isothermal experiments, A=$(1.09{\pm}2.04){\times}10^{12}\;h^{-1}$, $E_a=(93.5{\pm}2.2)\;kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ and m=$1.18{\pm}O.19$, were comparable to those from isothermal studies at constant humidity, A=$(1.71{\pm}o.35){\times}10^{12}\;h^{-1}$, $E_a=(94.9{\pm}0.7)\;kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ and m=$1.20{\pm}0.02$. Since the programmed humidifying and non-isothermal experiments save time, labor and materials, it is suggested that the new experimental method can be used to investigate the stability of drugs unstable to both moisture and heat, instead of many classical isothermal experiments at constant humidity.

Differential Expression Profiles of Alternaria alternate Genes in Response to Carbonyl Sulfide Fumigation

Tao Liu,Li Li,Yuejin Wang,Guoping Zhan,Bo Liu 한국미생물학회 2010 The journal of microbiology Vol.48 No.4

Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is a new fumigant used in phytosanitary treatments. It was developed as a potential alternative to methyl bromide, which is being phased out because of its ozone-depletion properties. To understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms occurring in fungal pathogens in response to COS fumigation, we cloned 510 cDNA fragments of Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissler genes that are differentially expressed; these genes were cloned using suppression subtractive hybridization. Changes in the levels of transcripts of 79 fragments were confirmed by microarray analysis and qRT-PCR. Further homology search revealed that they are highly homologous to 41 genes of other fungi, which were related to general metabolism, growth and division, defense, cellular transport, and signal transduction. These results provide an overview of differential expression profiles of A. alternata genes following COS treatment and some new clues about the mechanism of COS fungitoxicity.

Size Effect on Surface Roughness in Micro Turning

Tao Zhang,Zhan-qiang Liu,Zhen-yu Shi,Chong-hai Xu 한국정밀공학회 2013 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol. No.

The conventional model predicts that the surface roughness decreases with feed and fits well with the measured results, even in the micro turning process. But it is observed that surface roughness increases with feed decreases when the feed is in the range of micro scale. Based on the analysis of peak-to-valley formation process, a quadratic prediction model, which divides the height of peak-tovalley into two parts: one part is piled in front of the rake face while the other is piled on the flank face and is more accurate, is established considering the effect of tool geometry, cutting parameters and pile-up of work piece. The prediction model is calibrated and verified via two groups of micro turning experiments. Results show that size effect of specific cutting energy increases the surface roughness at small feeds. The difference between the theoretical and measured results at small feeds is mainly induced by the pileup of work piece material around the rear face. The best surface roughness can be obtained when the feed per revolution equals 0.1time of the cutting edge radius.

Optimum design and vibration control of a space structure with the hybrid semi-active control devices

Meng Zhan,Sheliang Wang,Tao Yang,Yang Liu,Binshan Yu 국제구조공학회 2017 Smart Structures and Systems, An International Jou Vol.19 No.4

Based on the super elastic properties of the shape memory alloy (SMA) and the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric (PZT) ceramics, a kind of hybrid semi-active control device was designed and made, its mechanical properties test was done under different frequency and different voltage. The local search ability of genetic algorithm is poor, which would fall into the defect of prematurity easily. A kind of adaptive immune memory cloning algorithm(AIMCA) was proposed based on the simulation of clone selection and immune memory process. It can adjust the mutation probability and clone scale adaptively through the way of introducing memory cell and antibody incentive degrees. And performance indicator based on the modal controllable degree was taken as antigen-antibody affinity function, the optimization analysis of damper layout in a space truss structure was done. The structural seismic response was analyzed by applying the neural network prediction model and T-S fuzzy logic. Results show that SMA and PZT friction composite damper has a good energy dissipation capacity and stable performance, the bigger voltage, the better energy dissipation ability. Compared with genetic algorithm, the adaptive immune memory clone algorithm overcomes the problem of prematurity effectively. Besides, it has stronger global searching ability, better population diversity and faster convergence speed, makes the damper has a better arrangement position in structural dampers optimization leading to the better damping effect.

The investigation of the structure and physicochemical properties of starch extracted from a new variety of purple rice was the aim of this study. Starch extracted from a new variety of purple rice named Tianzi No. 1 (PRS) is different in structure and physicochemical properties compared with waxy rice starch (WRS), japonica rice starch (JRS), and indica rice starch (IRS). PRS granules were diversified in shape, and the birefringence of starch particles were clearly observed. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy exhibited the degree of double helix and low short-range order structure of PRS differed from IRS, JRS and WRS. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that PRS presented a typical A-type XRD pattern and possessed lower crystallinity. Based on rheological experiment results, PRS had the highest apparent viscosity, storage modulus (G′) and loss modulus (G″). According to textural experiments, PRS gels had higher textural paraments before and after retrogradation.

Study on softening behavior of laser welded joint in GH909 alloy

Fei Yan,Tao Zhan,Sang Liu,Zhengwu Zhu,Chunming Wang,Xiyuan Hu 대한기계학회 2017 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.31 No.11

Laser beam welding was conducted on GH909 alloy in a solution treatment and aging conditions. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and softening behavior of welded joints were carefully studied using scanning electron microscopy, energy diffraction spectroscopy, and other techniques. Results indicated that γ′-Ni 3 (TiAl)-precipitated phases were produced inside the matrix, and the presence of Laves at grain boundaries restricted grain growth. A sharp reduction in γ′-precipitated phases evidently weakened the average tensile strength and microhardness of the welded joints. Moreover, fractures occurred in the weld zone. Microcracks in the fracture of the joint mainly depended on the competition result between thermal stress and cohesion forces among the grains.

Scaled Consensus of Disturbed Multi-agent Systems with Output Saturation

Heng Lei,Tao Han,Xi-Sheng Zhan,Jie Wu,Huaicheng Yan 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2022 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.20 No.10

This paper studies the problem of scaled consensus with output saturation under exogenous disturbances, that is, under exogenous disturbances the state of the agent reaches an assigned proportion, rather than a common value. The main contribution of this work is to propose a new nonlinear protocol, which attenuates the exogenous disturbances by designing a disturbance observer, so that the states of all agents will be proportional to each other. In addition, with the help of integral Lyapunov function, a sufficient condition for the multi-agent system to achieve the scaled consensus with output saturation under exogenous disturbances is obtained under the directed strong connection graph. Finally, a simulation example is given to verify the validity of the results of this work.
