Efficient clustering and simulated annealing approach for circuit partitioning

Circuit net list bipartitioning using simulated annealing technique has been proposed in the paper. The method converges asymptotically and probabilistically to global optimization. The circuit net list is partitioned into two partitions such that the number of interconnections between the partitions is minimized. The proposed method begins with an innovative clustering technique to obtain a good initial solution. Results obtained show the versatility of the proposed method in solving non polynomial hard problems of circuit net list partitioning and show an improvement over those available in literature.     

Study on bending conditions of plate in coil box

In a coil box between the roughing and finishing stands on a hot strip mill, a problem has been encountered that the entry region of the plate touches the bending rolls and deforms. As a result, the defective coil occurs. The condition of plate bending, which forms a new deformation feature in coiling, is analyzed. In this paper, the authors focus on the research of the effects of coiling parameters, such as the thickness of plate, roll speed and feeding speed of plate in coil box, and on specific plate bending. A finite element method is developed to simulate this coiling process. Based on numerical simulation, the effects of the coiling parameters on the mechanics and deformation of the bending plate are obtained. Numerical simulation tests have verified the validity of the developed model.     

Comments on enhanced yoking proof protocols for radio frequency identification tags and tag groups

A radio frequency identification (RFID) yoking proof scheme can generate proofs of simultaneous presence of two tags in the range of a specified reader so that an off-line verifier can verify the proofs later. This proof has found several interesting applications. However, many existing RFID yoking schemes are vulnerable to replay attacks. To overcome the weaknesses, Cho et al. proposed a new RFID yoking proof protocol and a new grouping protocol. Unfortunately, Cho et al.’s schemes are still vulnerable to replay attacks. In this paper, in addition to demonstrating weaknesses, we further discuss the rationale behind these weaknesses to provide a guide line for designing secure RFID yoking schemes. Based on the guide line, we propose a new RFID yoking scheme and a new RFID grouping scheme. Performance evaluation shows that our scheme outperforms its counterparts.

浅谈桥梁施工中预应力技术的应用

在我国的道路桥梁建设中预应力技术作为一种施工技术有着较为广泛的应用。其主要原因是预应力技术具有其他施工技术难以比拟的优点。它可以在减少自身结构的重量的同时,使得建材的最大强度得到了有效利用,同时使桥梁跨度得到增加。但是为了确保预应力技术可以在桥梁得到很好的应用,仍需要施工人员在进行施工和方案设计方面精益求精,对施工人员的技术及质量控制也要求较高,其工艺复杂是预应力技术施工的一大特点。该文结合实际工程,分析了预应力技术在桥梁施工中的要点,其目的是为了可以在一定程度上改善桥梁的施工质量。     

双螺旋折流板换热器最佳螺旋角的研究

为了研究换热器的传热性能与双螺旋折流板换热器的螺旋角的关系，通过建立多个不同螺旋角的管壳式换热器模型，运用数值计算的技术手段对其进行模拟，并对其数值模拟结果进行对比分析。结果表明：双螺旋折流板换热器存在最佳螺旋角使得换热器的换热性能最优。相同换热器结构的条件下，壳程进口流量对双螺旋折流板换热器的最佳螺旋角没有影响。随着壳径的增大，双螺旋折流板式换热器的最佳螺旋角有下降趋势。     

机械法联络通道施工自动导向及监测技术

机械法施工作为当今联络通道施工的发展方向,一方面因测量通道空间狭小和测站不规则位移等原因,其施工导向测量手段仍然停留在人工测量阶段,降低了机械法的施工效率;另一方面为掘进面附近受力管片的位移监测也多为人工方法,难以满足监测时效性的需求。为了同步解决机械法联络通道施工导向测量和监测的问题,开发了一套机械法联络通道自动导向系统。该系统基于高精度光纤陀螺的指北原理,采用光纤陀螺与双轴倾斜仪和目标棱镜组合构成导向靶,通过巧妙布设的基准棱镜和监测棱镜,在自动导向的同时也能够实现管片位移监测。

Application of the reverse 3D scanning method to evaluate the wear of forging tools divided on two selected areas

This study is focused on tools used in the industrial hot forging process of a front wheel forging (eventually–gear wheel) manufactured for the automotive industry. Four different variants were applied for the tools: 2 die inserts were coated with two different hybrid layers (GN + PVD type), i.e. AlCrTiN and AlCrTiSiN, one insert was only nitrided, and one was pad welded, to improve tool durability. The tool wear was analysed and represented by the material degradation on the working surface, based on the 3D scanning and the material growth of the periodically collected forgings. Additionally, the scanned tools were divided into two areas, in which it was found, based on the reliminary analysis, that various degradation mechanisms are predominant. Microstructural and hardness measurements of the analyzed tools were also performed. Based on the results, it was found that, in the central part of the die insert (area A), thermo-mechanical fatigue and wear occurred, while in the area of the bridge insert (area B), only abrasive wear could be observed. For these areas (A and B), the loss of material was determined separately. In area A for the inserts with hybrid layer GN+AlCrTiSiN and gas nitrided, an intensive increase of wear took place, which was not observed for the pad welded and GN+AlCrTiN layer insert, for which, together with the increase of the forging number, a proportional growth of the loss of material occurred. In area B the weakest results were obtained for the insert with GN+AlCrTiSiN layer, while wear of other die inserts grew similar and proportional.     

Finite element modeling of hydrostatic stress distribution in copper dual-damascene interconnects

Hydrostatic stresses of copper dual-damascene interconnects are calculated by a commercial finite element software in this paper. The analytical work is performed to examine the effects of different low-k (k is permittivity) dielectrics, barrier layer and aspect ratio of via on hydrostatic stress distribution in the copper interconnects. The results of calculation indicate that the hydrostatic stresses are highly non-uniform throughout the copper interconnects and the highest tensile hydrostatic stress exists on the top interface of lower level interconnect near via. Both the high coefficient of thermal expansion and the low elastic modulus of the low-k dielectrics and barrier layer can decrease the highest hydrostatic stress on the top interface, which can improve the reliability of the copper interconnects.
