In such cases, muscles’ ability to generate force reduces, thus affecting the joint’s torque production. Understanding how muscles generate force is a key element to injury detection. Researchers developed several computational methods to obtain muscle forces and joint torques. Electromyography (EMG) driven modeling is one of the approaches to estimate muscle forces and obtain joint torques from muscle activity measurements. Musculoskeletal models and EMG-driven models require necessary muscle-specific parameters for the calculation. The focus of this research is to investigate the EMG-driven approach along with an upper extremity musculoskeletal model to determine muscle forces of two major muscle groups, biceps brachii and triceps brachii, consisting of seven muscle-tendon units. Estimated muscle forces were used to determine the elbow joint torque. Experimental EMG signals and motion capture data were collected for a healthy subject. The musculoskeletal model was scaled to match the geometric parameters of the subject. First, the approach calculated muscle forces and joint moment for simple elbow flexion-extension. Later, the same approach was applied to an exercise called triceps kickback, which trains the triceps muscle group. Individual muscle forces and net joint torques for both tasks were estimated.","PeriodicalId":382970,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: 42nd Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131414421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Security and safety, as well as national economic stability, are reliant on interconnected systems with multiple decision making components. While such inter-connectivity advances the speed at which action and mission control decision making can take place, it also increases the number of dependencies at risk in the case of an attack and the speed at which attacks become effective in their goals. Attacks on the supply chain and on system lifecycle phases other than the operation are also becoming more common. In this paper we consider from a mission engineering perspective a complex reconfigurable SoS covering management of a wind farm with autonomous uncrewed patrol systems, crewed maintenance vessels, back-end control and machine learning components. The complex SoS is situated in the exclusive economic zone of one country, but with perimetric position to regional power competitors. We investigate causal effects of adversarial capabilities in the case study, using a zero trust combined with Defense in Depth approach. Of particular interest are situations where an adversary injects an incipient fault during one mission that is only brought to fruition during a subsequent mission.","PeriodicalId":382970,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: 42nd Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114598850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While supervised learning depends on sufficient training data, GA lack the ability to explain how sufficient parameters were achieved. RL could help to overcome both issues, as it is independent from training data and can be used to learn a policy leading towards suitable parameter combinations, which can be tracked through the solution space. To probe RL in terms of feasibility for parameter prediction and necessary training effort SBMF serves as an appropriate use case because solution and objective function space are multidimensional, and their relations are challenging for MOO.

It is challenging to improve the accuracy of defect image classification by appropriate means to assist the manual screening process better. Defects under actual production conditions are often not prominent enough in defect characteristics, and there may be a significant similarity between different defect categories. To eliminate this weakness, we propose a data-driven faulty detection model named Steel Faulty Detection Attention Net (SFDANet) that uses images of the galvanized steel surface as input to identify whether the product is qualified and automatic classification of defect types instantaneously. This method can shorten product inspection time and improve production line efficiency automatically. In addition, the attention mechanism is utilized, enhancing the performance of SFDANet. Compared with the baseline that applied the ResNet method, SFDANet achieves a noticeable improvement in the classification accuracy of the test data. The well-trained model can successfully show an improved performance than the baseline models on the multiple types of faulty. Enhanced by SFDANet with high classification accuracy, the defect rate of products is significantly reduced, and the production speed of the production line is significantly improved.","PeriodicalId":382970,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: 42nd Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125001386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(3) What are the most crucial (categories of) impediments in implementing Digital Twins? and (4) Are non-technical issues more likely to cause problems, than technical issues? First, contextual aspects were collected. They include the background of the participant, the operating fields and size of the company, as well as characteristic information on digitalization projects in general and Digital Twin projects more specifically. Then participants were asked to rate categories of issues as well as very specific impediments with respect to their likelihood to cause problems in the implementation of Digital Twins. The results show that technical issues, like missing standardization of data and models, are still present. However, according to the collected data, non-technical issues, like a lack of expertise and specialists, are more likely to cause difficulties.

Abnormal balancing patterns will lead to excessive vibration and gradually compromise structural integrity. This paper presents the construction of anomaly detection (AD) models that recognize abnormal balancing patterns for two aeroderivative GTs, AGT-A and AGT-B, from Siemens Energy. Such a diagnostic tool can predict at an early stage whether a high vibration would occur during the vibration test and avoid engine reject for re-balance. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been extensively utilized to conduct GT design space exploration and condition monitoring. However, ML has not been implemented to improve the efficiency of GT manufacturing processes, mainly due to data scarcity. The authors propose a combined feature learning and transfer learning technique to leverage the data resources of GT manufacturing processes. The physical and operational similarities between GTs belonging to the same series imply the transferability of features between models. The normal balancing patterns of the data-rich AGT-A were first learned by a sparse autoencoder to detect balancing anomalies. Then, the learned features were used to initialize the balancing AD model for the data-poor AGT-B. The test accuracy of the AGT-B AD model was increased from 75% to 92% with transfer learning. The presented methodology can facilitate and enable various data-driven analysis tasks for the manufacturing processes of original equipment manufacturers.","PeriodicalId":382970,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: 42nd Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130737570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, shape optimization and topology optimization are usually performed separately. Conventional topology optimization techniques are limited by high computational cost because of the high-dimensional search space. Maintaining the structural continuity and smooth boundaries of metamaterials is also challenging. In this paper, a new SO method based on periodic surface (PS) modeling is proposed to optimize the shape and topology of metamaterials concurrently. The PS model can represent a wide variety of topology with only a small number of design parameters, including periodic moments, basis vectors, and scale parameters. By limiting the number of available basis vectors to choose from, the search efficiency of topology optimization is significantly improved. To solve the mix-integer optimization problem, a mixed-integer Bayesian optimization method is also developed with a new Gaussian process kernel, which is customized for the design parameters in the PS model. The new SO approach is applied to design mechanical metamaterials with high strength-weight ratio and negative Poisson’s ratio. The comparison with other topology optimization methods shows the high efficiency of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":382970,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: 42nd Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128846906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adjusting the production parameters to meet a specific target under such uncertainty can be time-consuming without the support of advanced simulation tools. Therefore, this research proposes a novel idea of facility layout and system simulation in mixed reality (MR) that facilitates production planning involving human operators. A production planning tool is implemented as an MR application to verify the feasibility of this idea using a test case of logistic facility design. In this case, a manager adjusts the current facility and production parameters designed for one product in order to operate the logistics of two different products that must achieve a given production target. An operator is responsible for manually sorting, transporting, and placing the products for storage. Both are participating in the system simulation as different roles via HoloLens. The MR planning tool provides decision-making support for the manager to quickly complete the adjustment for the target. The planning results show that the tool outperforms traditional simulation software in terms of planning quality and flexibility. Thus, this work verifies the feasibility of MR as a new approach to realizing human-centric production system design.","PeriodicalId":382970,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: 42nd Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122485607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
