The character of heterogeneity corresponds to the case of hard coating on the inner or outer bar surface. Two types of continuous heterogeneity, linear and exponential, as well as laminated bar, or case of piecewise constant values of material parameters are considered. The commonly used models of compressible nonlinearly elastic media are applied to describe the mechanical properties of bar’s material at large strains. The 2D problem is reduced to the boundary value problem for second order differential equations by means of a semi-inverse method. The nonlinear boundary value problems are solved using an automation package developed by the authors within the framework of the computer algebra system Maple. The influence of coating on the load diagram and the stability of the bent bar is evaluated.","PeriodicalId":410941,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and Industry (MCSI)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131177652","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, the successful incorporation of electric vehicles in the actual transportation system depends on overcoming of two main barriers: the low range of the electric vehicles in comparison with traditional internal combustion vehicles, and the low number of electric recharging stations. By increasing the number of recharging points it is possible to compensate the range limitations of electric vehicles, nevertheless, creating this infrastructure causes high costs. Therefore, the objective of this study has been to develop an optimization methodology that allows planning of the recharging infrastructure for electric vehicles in an urban environment that minimizes the cost, based on provider's point of view.","PeriodicalId":410941,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and Industry (MCSI)","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125861920","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}

To that end, complex systems inspect the products on completion of their manufacturing to detect possible defects. But the design and configuration of these systems is cumbersome, specific for each system, and requires a lot of experience. Currently, there is a trend to build all these systems using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), due to the theoretical simplicity of this approach: images of the surface of the products are processed by a trained CNN, which detects defects in the images. But the generation of a well-trained CNN is also a complex process, generally not always properly documented in the literature, and strongly dependent on the application domain. To facilitate the use of CNNs, this paper proposes a configuration approach for CNNs whose objective is the detection of defects on the surface of manufactured products. As an example, the approach is used to configure a CNN to detect surface defects on manufactured rails.","PeriodicalId":410941,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and Industry (MCSI)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130497657","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}

The modelling method concludes two parts: first, based on the data structure of stack, a depthfirst search algorithm for solving the minimal path sets from each power source node to its sink nodes (which correspond to power supply bus in AEPS) is developed first; and then on the basis of Bayesian network theory, a reliability model construction algorithm for AEPS is proposed by transforming all these minimal path sets into an equivalent probability network. Finally, the power supply reliability of the typical power system is evaluated by using the existent traditional method and the new proposed method separately. The calculation results show that, compared with the traditional method, the new reliability model not only can be used to compute the power supply reliability of each sink node exactly and faster, but also has the advantage of analyzing the dependency of the components in AEPS.","PeriodicalId":410941,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and Industry (MCSI)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130099379","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}

The presence of sediments modifies the viscosity and, accordingly, modifies the profiles, particularly near the edges right where they are generated. Therefore, in this work, the distortion of the velocity profiles due to an imposed spatial variability of viscosity, was studied applying the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In particular, as test cases, laminar and turbulent Plane Poiseuille flows, were selected. For simplicity, it was assumed that the sediment distribution and therefore the viscosity distribution was not influenced by the mixing due to velocity field. That is, the equilibrium configuration was determined as a consequence of a spatially variable distribution of viscosity. The 2D Navier-Stokes equations, in steady state conditions, were numerically solved exploiting a research software developed and discussed by the author [1]. The turbulence was considered through the RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes) approach. The two equations k ƒ{ ƒÕ models were employed. The turbulence phenomena near solid boundaries was simulated by the means of Wall-Functions. Spatial discretization was carried out using the Finite Element Method (FEM). A structured meshing with h like adaptability was developed. Then, in order to avoid velocities and pressure instabilities, the Characteristic-based split algorithm (CBS) was applied, while, in order to correctly consider incompressibility, by a numerical point of view, the Method of Artificial Compressibility (AC) was selected. Accordingly, the related CBS-AC three steps algorithm was implemented [1]. Then, some parametric numerical experiments were performed, considering a semi-implicit, approach. As was to be expected, the velocity profiles, for both laminar and turbulent were influenced by the viscosity distribution. The discussion of the overall results points out the sensitivity of the algorithms not only to the meshes size, to their distribution and to the number of iterations, but also to some intrinsic ¡§experimental numerical dials¡¨ (safe coefficients, explicit vs implicit ratio), specific of the selected approach. Moreover, suggestions have emerged for more complex and more complete simulations which, necessarily, would use methods based on iterations internal to each time-step","PeriodicalId":410941,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and Industry (MCSI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128847945","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}

The principle of duality leads to a simple formulation for both cases. The presented approach uses homogenous coordinates with the duality principle application. It is convenient for application on GPU as well.

But actually it is sufficient to visualize separately the real and imaginary parts of a complex-valued function. For a fast visualization process, local spline interpolation of functions from two variables is the most convenient in applications and gives approximations with the required order of accuracy. This paper deals with local complex-valued splines, constructed using tensor product spline interpolation in a disc with a centre of zero and a radius of 1. For constructing the tensor product we use local basis splines of a radial variable and local complex-valued basis splines of an angular variable. For the construction of the grid we consider a number of circles in the disc of radius 1 with a center of zero, and get a number of points on the boundary of this disc, arranged from the centre to the edge. The points at which those lines cross each circle form the grid nodes. The approximation is constructed separately in each elementary segment, formed by two arcs and two line segments. For the approximation of a complex-valued function we use the values of this function in several nodes near this elementary segment and the tensor product of basis splines. The order of the approximation depends on the splines’ properties which we use in the tensor product. In this paper we use local exponential and polynomial splines of second and third order approximation.","PeriodicalId":410941,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and Industry (MCSI)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122454014","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}
