Selfish load balancing for jobs with favorite machines

This paper studies the load balancing game for the favorite machine model, where each job has a certain set of favorite machines with the shortest processing time for the job. We obtain tight bounds on the Strong Price of Anarchy (strong PoA) for the general favorite machine model and a special case of the model. Our results generalize the well-known bounds on the strong PoA for the unrelated machine and identical machine models.     

基于负载均衡的大规模TTE消息调度表生成方法

在复杂拓扑条件下,机载网络存在大规模数据的高效传输需求.此时,传统的调度表生成方法存在高时间复杂度问题.为了有效解决这个问题,本文提出了一种基于负载均衡的时间触发以太网(Time-Triggered Ethernet, TTE)消息调度表生成方法.该方法首先生成消息传输备选较短路径集,综合地考虑消息长度和链路负载来选择消息路径、得到具有负载均衡特性的路径规划结果,然后以提高时序规划效率为目标,基于静态优先级生成调度表,依据消息长度和周期进行消息排序,并使用“背靠背”规则进行传输调度分配,以保证消息的实时性和确定性.仿真结果表明,当可调度消息帧数超过6000条时,在保证消息实时性的前提下,该方法比传统的满足性模理论(Satisfiability Modulo Theory, SMT)时间规划方法减少90%以上的计算时间,计算效率提升10～100倍,可见该方法适合于求解复杂大规模数据调度表的生成问题.本文的研究为改善机载网络的消息调度性能提供了一种可行方案.     

折线先张法预应力工字梁受力性能试验

为克服直线先张法的预应力筋不能弯折而使桥梁跨径受限,以30 m折线先张法预应力混凝土工字梁为研究对象,研究折线先张法工字梁在弹塑性阶段的应力、变形、裂缝和承载能力,进行理论计算及静载破坏试验,并利用Midas Civil有限元软件的psc程序计算,对比静载试验与有限元模型。结果表明：在弹性阶段,荷载与混凝土应变、挠度的试验曲线均呈线性变化;跨中截面和3L/8截面为梁体应变的危险截面;加载至1～1.4倍的开裂荷载时,L/4、L/2截面挠度变化仍基本处于线性增大状态,斜率约为按弹性阶段计算的2倍;当出现第一条裂缝后,随着荷载的增加,裂缝继续向工字梁腹板延伸,跨中底板及腹板附近出现新裂缝,但未出现梁端剪切裂缝或破损现象。预应力混凝土工字梁的应力、挠度校验系数均小于1,表明折线先张法工字梁的抗弯和抗剪承载能力、强度、刚度、抗裂性均满足设计及规范要求。     

J-testing of polymers via the load separation criterion based ESIS TC4 procedure: Effect of the specimen size

The Technical Committee 4, “Polymers, Polymer Composites and Adhesives”, of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS TC4) developed a draft protocol based on the load separation criterion to determine two fracture parameters (an initiation parameter, J_I,lim, and a crack growth parameter, m_s) without the need to measure the crack growth (Δa). This is especially beneficial, since the measurement of Δa is prone to errors. The developed testing scheme displays promising results, as shown in a round-robin testing exercise. To further push this testing scheme, it is necessary to verify the specimen size scaling possibility. Hence, in this work, single edge notched in bending (SE(B)) specimens with different sizes, but geometrically similar, were manufactured. ESIS TC4 testing scheme was successfully applied to specimens with the different sizes, and data of J_I,lim and m_s were obtained. The observed effect of the specimen size on the aforementioned fracture parameters is presented and discussed.
