Surrogate-based modeling and dimension reduction techniques for multi-scale mechanics problems

Successful modeling and/or design of engineering systems often requires one to address the impact of multiple "design variables" on the prescribed outcome.There are often multiple,competing objectives based on which we assess the outcome of optimization.Since accurate,high fidelity models are typically time consuming and computationally expensive,comprehensive evaluations can be conducted only if an efficient framework is available.Furthermore,informed decisions of the model/hardware’s overall performance rely on an adequate understanding of the global,not local,sensitivity of the individual design variables on the objectives.The surrogate-based approach,which involves approximating the objectives as continuous functions of design variables from limited data,offers a rational framework to reduce the number of important input variables,i.e.,the dimension of a design or modeling space.In this paper,we review the fundamental issues that arise in surrogate-based analysis and optimization,highlighting concepts,methods,techniques,as well as modeling implications for mechanics problems.To aid the discussions of the issues involved,we summarize recent efforts in investigating cryogenic cavitating flows,active flow control based on dielectric barrier discharge concepts,and lithium(Li)-ion batteries.It is also stressed that many multi-scale mechanics problems can naturally benefit from the surrogate approach for "scale bridging."

Morlet小波在确定局部周期中的应用

本文通过引入改进的Morlet小波变换核函数,得到了等幅值的Morlet小波变换(MMWT)和功率谱(MMPS).理论及实验均表明,MMPS不但能够准确的确定信号的局部周期,而且使相同振幅(强度)的谐波产生了相同大小的MMPS,弥补了MPS的不足.对于MMWT还给出了相应的Morlet小波变换尺度与频率转化公式.     

例谈数学概念教学中的和谐关系

一、探究与接受的和谐 探究学习比较开放，重点培养学生的问题意识和创新精神，更强调过程，在积累直接经验、培养学生的实践能力方面有其独到之处．但是，过分强调之，教学就会走向无目标的误区，演变为信马由缰的活动，概念教学中，在探究的基础上，教师适时地讲解，可以让学生在较短的时间内让学生积累更多的间接经验，针对学生个体中存在较大的差异，必要时教师充分利用多媒体、板演、强调、订正强化学生的认知水平．     

半导体所在GaAs纳米线结构相变的研究方面取得重要成果

作为传统的Ⅲ-V族半导体,GaAs体材料的稳定相是闪锌矿结构。但是当进入到纳米尺度时,由于表面积相对增加,又由于纤锌矿结构的表面能较低,使得GaAs纳米线上容易出现纤锌矿结构,互相竞争的结果往往是两相共存,还夹着很多平面缺陷(planar defect)。因此如何得到纯闪锌矿或者纯纤锌矿结构的     

一个体现新课程理念的教学内容设计——“圆锥曲线第二定义”的教学体会

新课程实验教材已完成了一轮教学．由于新课程的理念变了，编写意图也发生了变化，新教材相对于与原教材而言，内容变了、体系改了、要求不同了、方法更新了．因此，在教学中新旧理念互为碰撞、教学方法多有调整、内容处理各有不同．于是，教师如何更好地领会编写者的意图，体现新课程的理念，使学生得到全面发展是需要教师在教学中经常思考和密切注意的问题．     

Wavelets with differential relation

Divergence-free wavelets are successfully applied to numerical solutions of Navier-Stokes equation and to analysis of incompressible flows. They closely depend on a pair of one-dimensional wavelets with some differential relations. In this paper, we point out some restrictions of those wavelets and study scaling functions with the differential relation; Wavelets and their duals are discussed; In addition to the differential relation, we are particularly interested in a class of examples with the interpolatory property; It turns out there is a connection between our examples and Micchelli’s work.     

Rayleigh Scattering for An Electromagnetic Anisotropic Medium Sphere

Based on the scales theory of electromagnetic waves, the analytical expression of electrical fields inside an anisotropic medium sphere is studied. Differential scattering cross section and radar cross section （RCS） for an anisotropic spherical target are presented. The correctness of the obtained results is tested. The simulation results show that the scattering of an anisotropic sphere has the property of a dipole radiation under the condition of Rayleigh scattering. The larger the dielectric constant is, the stronger the dipole scattering is. Anisotropy in magnetism only has an effect on differential RCS. These results provide a theoretical base for the identification of anisotropic targets.
