Analysis of diesel engine isolation system with piston slap
An isolation system of diesel engine with cylinder gap was modeled to deeply study the effect of piston shock on the whole vibration system. With the diesel engine rotates at rated speed, the center of engine body mass moves in plane with an obvious ellipse, and the magnitude is enlarged high to 3.5 times of the origin. All the bottom three directional springs have the corresponding response with the fundamental frequency signal, and a characteristic frequency band, as the piston slap is considered
Steady periodic irrotational blood flow with time-dependent body force
In this paper, we study steady 2D periodic blood flow propagating along blood
vessels with free boundary conditions. In particular, we focus on the dynamic
behavior of irrotational flows with time dependent body force. An equivalent
formulation with fix boundary is developed by utilizing flow force functions.
The local bifurcation result is obtained by Crandall-Rabinowitz theorem. The
existence of a local -curve of small-amplitude solution is strictly
proved
Characterizations of Network Auctions and Generalizations of VCG
With the growth of networks, promoting products through social networks has
become an important problem. For auctions in social networks, items are needed
to be sold to agents in a network, where each agent can bid and also diffuse
the sale information to her neighbors. Thus, the agents' social relations are
intervened with their bids in the auctions. In network auctions, the classical
VCG mechanism fails to retain key properties. In order to better understand
network auctions, in this paper, we characterize network auctions for the
single-unit setting with respect to weak budget balance, individual
rationality, incentive compatibility, efficiency, and other properties. For
example, we present sufficient conditions for mechanisms to be efficient and
(weakly) incentive compatible. With the help of these properties and new
concepts such as rewards, participation rewards, and so on, we show how to
design efficient mechanisms to satisfy incentive compatibility as much as
possible, and incentive compatibility mechanisms to maximize the revenue. Our
results provide insights into understanding auctions in social networks.Comment: To appear in ECAI 202
Estimation of statistical energy analysis loss factor for fiber reinforced plastics plate of yachts
Loss factor is one of the most significant parameters of Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) which represents the damping loss characteristics of a system and indicates the ability of its vibration energy consumption. In order to estimate it, the power input method (PIM) and the impulse response decay method (IRDM) have become widely used especially when the object of study is made of Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) of which dynamic interaction is really complicated. Numerical simulation is also applied to analyze the loss factor of the spring-damping-system with single degree of freedom (SDOF) using MATLAB to introduce the identification procedure of PIM and IRDM. With the comparison of the methods, the analytical study indicates these techniques are effective for the estimation of loss factor. This paper focuses on an experimental approach to get the SEA loss factor of FRP plate and the test investigations are performed in detail. The requirements and limitations of each method applied are discussed and PIM is a better solution dealing with this kind of the composite material. The loss factor of test specimen is obtained to provide a valuable reference for the prediction and control of vibration and noise of yachts with SEA
Software Testing with Large Language Model: Survey, Landscape, and Vision
Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have recently emerged as a
breakthrough technology in natural language processing and artificial
intelligence, with the ability to handle large-scale datasets and exhibit
remarkable performance across a wide range of tasks. Meanwhile, software
testing is a crucial undertaking that serves as a cornerstone for ensuring the
quality and reliability of software products. As the scope and complexity of
software systems continue to grow, the need for more effective software testing
techniques becomes increasingly urgent, and making it an area ripe for
innovative approaches such as the use of LLMs. This paper provides a
comprehensive review of the utilization of LLMs in software testing. It
analyzes 52 relevant studies that have used LLMs for software testing, from
both the software testing and LLMs perspectives. The paper presents a detailed
discussion of the software testing tasks for which LLMs are commonly used,
among which test case preparation and program repair are the most
representative ones. It also analyzes the commonly used LLMs, the types of
prompt engineering that are employed, as well as the accompanied techniques
with these LLMs. It also summarizes the key challenges and potential
opportunities in this direction. This work can serve as a roadmap for future
research in this area, highlighting potential avenues for exploration, and
identifying gaps in our current understanding of the use of LLMs in software
testing.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figure
