Non parametric estimation of the diffusion coefficients of a diffusion with jumps

In this article, we consider a jump diffusion process ${\left(X_t\right)}_{t\ge 0}$, with drift function $b$, diffusion coefficient $\sigma$ and jump coefficient ${\xi }^2$. This process is observed at discrete times $t=0,\Delta ,\dots ,n\Delta$. The sampling interval $\Delta$ tends to 0 and the time interval $n\Delta$ tends to infinity. We assume that ${\left(X_t\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ is ergodic, strictly stationary and exponentially $\beta$-mixing. We use a penalized least-square approach to compute adaptive estimators of the functions ${\sigma }^2+{\xi }^2$ and ${\sigma }^2$. We provide bounds for the risks of the two estimators.     

The effect of probe-Ohmic environment coupling type and probe information flow on quantum probing of the cutoff frequency

This work aims to compare results of dissipating and pure dephasing single-qubit probes in characterizing the cutoff frequency of a harmonic reservoir Ohmic spectral density. In particular, we proved that a dissipating single-qubit improves the estimation precision of the cutoff frequency estimator. The information backflow and outflow of the dissipating and the dephasing single-qubit are compared. The relation between the quantum Fisher information and the information outflow and backflow of the probe is obtained. The results show that difference between the values of information outflow and backflow of a dissipating single-qubit is larger than a dephasing single-qubit. So, a single-qubit probe extracts more information from an Ohmic reservoir by increasing the difference between the values of information outflow and backflow of the probe.     

利用拖线阵运动特性的阵形估计方法

有效估计阵形是提高机动条件下拖线阵声呐探测性能的关键,流体力学类阵形估计方法稳定性和可靠性欠佳,导致其难以应用于工程实际,该文针对此问题提出一种基于拖线阵运动特性的阵形估计方法。利用稳态振荡响应公式计算拖船回转机动时拖线阵稳态阵形特性,将转向机动过程中阵上各点运动状态划分为若干阶段,进而依据偏微分方程特征线理论计算各阶段的分界时刻,探究阵上相邻两点的沿阵切线方向差变化规律,最后通过计算当前阵上各点的沿阵方向实现阵形估计。计算机仿真和海上实验数据验证表明算法可行且有效,与传统的流体力学类阵形估计方法相比具有更高的稳定性和更好的工程应用前景。     

基于数字非线性锁相环的相干态相位估计

基于量子理论获取相位参数的导航机制,理论上可以突破经典物理极限对导航精度的限制.利用量子零拍探测对相干态光场相位进行测量时,通常需要相位与之正交的本振光才能使测量精度达到量子标准极限.由于导航信号相位的高非线性特点,想要利用传统的线性锁相环获取完全满足条件的本振光具有一定的难度.为此,本文设计了一种基于容积准则的非线性锁相环,实现了在非正交本振光的条件下对相干态相位进行精确测量的功能.首先,利用相干态的Wigner函数推导了其相位在量子零拍探测的输出结果,设计了量子相位估计的非线性数字锁相环框架.然后基于正交单纯形容积准则设计了非线性滤波算法实现锁相环功能,该锁相环通过对本振相位进行多次状态更新,最终实现非线性迭代估计.实验结果表明,本文方法突破了本振光相位需与相干态相位正交的局限性,避免了传统量子锁相环方法引入的线性化误差,实现了对相干态相位的准确、稳定估计.     

Residual stress in polyethylene pipes

This paper deals with residual stress in polyethylene (PE) pipes as an important factor that influences their lifetime. Residual hoop stress distribution in a PE pipe was determined using a methodology previously carried out by the authors on polypropylene pipes. Axial residual stress magnitude was determined by comparison of experimental data and finite element modelling. Based on the obtained results, a new simplified methodology for determining the residual hoop stress is proposed. The method needs only one circular specimen made of pipe, but, unlike older methods, provides a more precise estimation of residual hoop stress distribution taking into account its exponential shape. Some older results from literature are recalculated using this method and residual hoop stress of various PE pipe grades and dimensions are then compared. To provide an idea of residual hoop stress influence on lifetime of a pipe, a lifetime estimation is carried out for the examined pipe.     

Bammann-Chiesa-Johnson粘塑性本构模型材料参数的一种识别方法

粘塑性本构模型能否成功模拟金属高应变率大应变变形过程依赖于材料参数识别结果的好坏。由于BCJ模型考虑了应变率、温度与材料硬化之间的耦合效应以及应变率、温度历史效应,同时模型中包含了多个材料参数,因此很难通过试验直接识别模型的材料参数。本文针对BCJ模型中的耦合效应和历史效应,基于对模型中材料参数物理涵义的界定,给出了一种对材料参数解耦、分离并进行估计的方法,获得了模型材料参数估计公式,估计了材料参数的取值范围。在此基础上,编制了BCJ模型应力积分径向返回算法和粒子群优化算法的计算程序,应用重新设计了BCJ模型耦合效应和历史效应的反分析方法,在参数取值范围内对材料参数进行了优化识别。以OFHC Cu为例,应用提出的识别方法对BCJ模型的材料参数进行了识别,计算结果和试验结果符合较好。     

Wettability and surface energy of parylene F deposited on PDMS

For the first time, the wettability and surface energy of parylene F were investigated. The results showed that parylene F had a hydrophobic surface with an eigen water contact angle of 104.7 ± 0.6°. We found that 3.5 μl probe liquid was an optimal value for the contact angle measurement of parylene F. Moreover, we found that the Lifshitz–van der Waals/acid–base approach was unsuitable for determining the surface energy of parylene F, whereas the Owens–Wendt–Kaelble approach and the limitless liquid–solid interface wetting system were compatible. The surface energy of parylene F was estimated to be 27.06 mJ/m² (Owens–Wendt–Kaelble) and 40.41 mJ/m² (Limitless liquid-solid interface wetting system). Furthermore, this investigation also provided a reference for the applications of empirical and physics-based semi-empirical approaches for the estimation of surface energy.     

一种基于序贯估计的直达声区水面舰船 被动测距方法 *

该文利用基于射线的盲解卷积方法，从直达声区的水面舰船噪声中提取出船和锚系于海底的垂直接收阵之间的时域信道响应，并利用直达波在不同阵元相对于参考阵元的到达时间差，通过序贯方法，利用射线模型和声速剖面信息，对水面舰船距接收阵的距离进行了估计。通过处理海深约为580 m的2016年美国圣巴巴拉海峡的实验数据，对1.6~3.5 km直达声区范围内Anna Maersk商船与垂直阵之间的距离进行了估计，验证了测距方法的有效性，并将结果与系统测量值和几何方法的估计值进行了比较。由于该方法不需要对海底参数进行估计，所以在海底参数未知时要优于传统匹配场方法；在声速剖面存在跃层且海底为多层分布的复杂信道条件下，该方法仍能对距离进行有效估计，且与测量值的相对误差在6%以内，小于几何方法的估计误差，测距结果精度较高。
