    Amorphous/nanocrystalline composite coatings were prepared by laser crystallization of the FeNiSiBVCRE amorphous coatings fabricated on 45 steel by laser cladding. Microstructure and properties of the amorphous/nanocrystalline composite coatings were studied by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy abrasion tester. The results show that the crystalline phase, amorphous phase and nanocrystalline phase co-existed in the coating. There are a lot of dendritic crystallines of rare earth, boride crystallines in lathshaped and carbide crystallines in graininess both in the bottom and upper zones of the coating. However, in the middle of the coating, there are a lot of nanocrystalline grains embedded on an amorphous matrix. Compared with the amorphous coatings, the wear resistant property of the coating is lowered. The predominant wear mechanisms are adhesion and peeling.

    Using a 5kW CO2 laser, in situ synthesis of TiC-VC particles reinforced Fe-based alloy composite coatings were put forth by using ferrotitanium, ferrovanadium and graphite. The microstructure and properties of the composite coatings were investigated by optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) and a skimming wear machine. Results indicate that TiC-VC particles can be produced by direct metallurgical reaction between ferrotitanium, ferrovanadium and graphite during the laser cladding process. It was also found that fine TiC-VC particles disperse in the matrix. The wear-resisting property of the higher TiC-VC particles coating is larger than the lower ones in certain areas.

    An objective function was proposed to evaluate the minimum zone cylindricity error. The error model was optimized by genetic algorithm(GA). The mathematical model can work out the minimum zone solution of the cylindricity error with arbitrary position in space, and there are no special requirements in choosing measurement points. A test was given to prove that the optimal approximation solution to the cylinder axis's vectors and minimum zone cylindricity can be worked out by the objective function. The approach can also be extended to solve  other form and position errors when a cylinder axis is used as datum.

    The three determinants for a successful product development are higher quality, lower cost and shorter time-to-market. These determinants interact with each other in the whole process of product design and the emphasis on any one of them will induce the cost of others. The needed balance among them is extremely complex, especially in the design process, which is a major part of the product development processes. The primary problems lie in that a design process inherently contains a number of coupling activities, which imply potential iteration of the process. Hence, how to model the design iterations and seek the balance on allocating limited resources to facilitate each of the three determinants for an iterative design process has become one focus of recent research. An analytical model (M-WTM) is presented for modeling design iterations and providing estimates in terms of time, costs, and resources by dint of detailed analysis of the interrelationship among design activities, which is based on the work transformation matrix (WTM). According to the resources, this model will tackle purely sequential iteration, purely parallel iteration or mixed iteration. A complicated example, profiled bar product development design, was employed to illustrate the effectiveness of M-WTM.

    An image retrieval scheme based on multiscale analysis and SVM relevance feedback was proposed. First, a more accurate texture feature was extracted in Contourlet domain than Wavelet due to its multiresolution and directionality. One class and binary class SVM were combined to retrieve. The one class SVM can estimate the distribution of data in high dimensional space, and  exploit unlabeled data to get a primary similarity measure order. Then binary class SVM was used to get the labeled sample information through learning user's feedback, which finally improved the retrieval accuracy. The experimental results demonstrate the reasonability and effectiveness of the scheme. The most appropriate feedback image quantity and feedback times were proposed.

     A new blind watermarking scheme for color image was proposed. In this scheme, a binary logo watermark was embedded into the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain of the color image with the help of radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. According to HVS, the original image was transformed from the RGB color space to the brightness and chroma (YCrCb) space. In order to strengthen the imperceptibility and robustness, the watermark was embedded into the DC coefficient of 8×8 blocks in CrCb chroma components. A key was set to select blocks where the watermark was embedded, which can improve the security of the watermark. Also, RBF was used to learn and approximate the inverse procedure of quantization, and watermark embedding and extraction was performed with the trained neural network to further improve the robustness. Simulations show that the proposed method has good imperceptibility as well as robustness to common image processing attacks.

    The irrational function forms interpolation on a polygonal element with arbitrary nodal distribution was constructed by using mean value coordinates of polygonal elements. The polygonal finite element method for solving boundary value problems of differential equations was presented. For a curved boundary, the polygonal meshes can exactly approximate the arbitrary geometric shape by proper nodal distribution. The expressions of shape function within different elements are uniform. It is convenient to program the computer codes for finite element analysis. Numerical examples on second order elliptical boundary value problems are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method.

    The under-ground power house of Tai′an Pumped-Storage Power Station was elasticplastic numerically simulated using the three-dimensional fast Lagrangian analysis of the Continua method. Then the dynamic process in the wall rock was simulated. The changing law of displacements and stresses of the rock-mass was studied. Many monitoring instruments were installed during construction, and much information was received. Based on the complete observation information of the Tai’an Pumped-Storage Power Station, the deformation data of the wall rock were studied. The conclusion shows that the underground power house is steady in principle. In addition,the displacement between computation and observation of certain points in the rock were compared with each other. The results show that the rules of computation and observation results are approximately consistent with each other. It is feasible that underground power houses can be simulated by this method. It will be a  significant reference to other stability analyses of large underground powerhouses.

    The flow of the arch structure with a bucket aerator was calculated by the turbulence model, and the results were verified by experimental data. It shows that this numerical model can to a certain extent accurately simulate the jet overflow and cavity behind the bucket aerator. The location of the bucket aerator was studied in the experiment. The laying position of the bucket aerator is better downstream than upstream with the same configuration and hydraulic condition, of which the former has more stable flow, weaker spray and better aeration, so it can successfully alleviate cavitations by air entrainment. This model and the location optimization conclusion for a bucket aerator are of great significance for the configuration and laying of the aerator on arch structure.

    Compared with common twotower suspension bridges, the total stiffness of a three-tower suspension bridge is relatively small, and the ratios of the deflection to span of the bridge are larger. The midtower structure of a threetower suspension bridge has great influence on the mechanical behavior of the whole bridge. Based on the analysis of the Taizhou Bridge, a three-tower suspension bridge, the design restrictions of a three-tower suspension bridge were analyzed, such as the deflection of the main span and the anti-slipping safety factor between the main cable and saddle of the midtower. The analysis based on the finite element method shows that the stiffness of the midtower is the key factor of the mid-tower structure selection, the appropriate stiffness of the mid-tower is between 23~28MN/m for the Taizhou Bridge, and the appropriate structure is a herringbone structure.
