考虑柔性和间隙的螺旋引纬机构仿真分析

为了提高引纬机构的稳定性和精度,将柔性构件和间隙的影响考虑在内,联合ANSYS和ADAMS建立螺旋引纬机构的刚柔耦合模型,通过ADAMS进行动力学仿真,在刚性系统和刚柔耦合系统中分别分析了旋转铰间隙对剑杆输出特性曲线的影响。在对仿真数据的观察中发现了相当比例的噪声信号,为了消除噪声信号的影响,利用统计学中上下四分位数和中位数来识别替换异常值;在综合考虑间隙和柔性构件的影响时,利用减噪后的加速度曲线与理想刚体系统下的数据的偏差值得到一个新的曲线,该曲线在固定区间内做高频波动,呈现出类似周期性声波信号的特点。结果表明旋转铰间隙是影响剑杆稳定性和精度的主要因素,柔性构件和间隙的综合作用产生了趋向于周期性的碰撞影响。依据研 究结果可以进一步对原刚体模型下设计的引纬机构进行优化设计。     

Modelling process robustness: a case study of centrifugal casting

A robust process minimises the effect of the noise factors on the performance of a product or process. The variation of the performance of a robust process can be measured through modelling and analysis of process robustness. In this paper, a comprehensive methodology for modelling and analysis of process robustness is developed considering a number of relevant tools and techniques such as multivariate regression, control charting and simulation within the broad framework of Taguchi method. The methodology as developed considers, in specific terms, process modelling using historical data pertaining to responses, inputs variables and parameters as well as simulated noise variables data, identification of the model responses at each experimental setting of the controllable variables, estimation of multivariate process capability indices and control of their variability using control charting for determining optimal settings of the process variables using design of experiment-based Taguchi Method. The methodology is applied to a centrifugal casting process that produces worm-wheels for steam power plants in view of its critical importance of maintaining consistent performance in various under controllable situations (input conditions). The results show that the process settings as determined ensure minimum in-control variability with maximum performance of the centrifugal casting process, indicating improved level of robustness.     

Asymptotic Minimax Risk for the White Noise Model on the Sphere

Estimation of an unknown function on the unit sphere of the Euclidean space is considered. The function is observed in Gaussian continuous time white noise. Uniform norm is chosen as a loss function and exact asymptotic minimax risk is derived extending the result of Korostelev (1993). The exact asymptotic minimax risk is also given for the L ₂-loss, applying the result of Pinsker (1980).     

A critical look at Lo's modified R/S statistic

We report on an empirical investigation of the modified rescaled adjusted range or R/S statistic that was proposed by Lo, 1991. Econometrica 59, 1279–1313, as a test for long-range dependence with good robustness properties under ‘extra’ short-range dependence. In contrast to the classical R/S statistic that uses the standard deviation S to normalize the rescaled range R, Lo's modified R/S-statistic V_q is normalized by a modified standard deviation S_q which takes into account the covariances of the first q lags, so as to discount the influence of the short-range dependence structure that might be present in the data. Depending on the value of the resulting test-statistic V_q, the null hypothesis of no long-range dependence is either rejected or accepted. By performing Monte-Carlo simulations with ‘truly’ long-range- and short-range dependent time series, we study the behavior of V_q, as a function of q, and uncover a number of serious drawbacks to using Lo's method in practice. For example, we show that as the truncation lag q increases, the test statistic V_q has a strong bias toward accepting the null hypothesis (i.e., no long-range dependence), even in ideal situations of ‘purely’ long-range dependent data.     

Statistical Analysis of Parameter Estimation for 2-D Harmonics in Multiplicative and Additive Noise

This article considers the problem of parameter estimation for two dimensional (2-D) multi-component harmonics in non zero-mean multiplicative and additive noise. The least squares estimators (LSEs) are proposed to estimate the coherent model parameters, and some statistical results of the LSEs are obtained, including strong consistency, strong convergence rate, and asymptotic normality. Furthermore, the LSEs-based estimators are proposed to estimate the noncoherent model parameters, and the strong consistency and the asymptotic normality are also proved. Finally, some numerical experiments are performed to see how the asymptotic results work for finite sample sizes.

色噪声作用下耦合神经元网络的相干共振

研究了色噪声作用下耦合(FHN)神经元模型的相干共振现象。运用改进的四阶随机龙格-库塔法,计算了神经元膜电压分布和神经元点火峰峰间隔的变差系数。结果表明,神经元点火峰峰间隔的变差系数是色噪声强度、色噪声相关率和耦合神经元个数的非单调函数;存在最优的色噪声强度、色噪声相关率和耦合神经元个数,使得神经元点火峰峰间隔的变差系数出现极小值(即为相干共振)。讨论了色噪声强度、色噪声相关率和耦合神经元个数对系统相干性的影响。     

Estimation of the integrated volatility using noisy high-frequency data with jumps and endogeneity

In this paper, we investigate a new estimator of the integrated volatility of Itô semimartingales in the presence of both market microstructure noise and jumps when sampling times are endogenous. In the first step, our estimation wipes off the effects of the microstructure noise, and in the second step our estimator shrinks the effects of jumps. We provide consistency of the estimator when the jumps have finite variation and infinite variation and establish a central limit theorem for the estimator in a general endogenous time setting when the jumps only have finite variation. Simulation illustrates the performance of the proposed estimator.     

Correlation coefficient of response variances in compound noise and product array experiments

In robust parameter design, a compound noise experiment has been frequently used for reducing the number of experimental runs compared to a product array experiment. However, the results obtained by the compound noise experiment and the product array experiment are often much different. This paper derives an expression of the correlation coefficient of response variances in the compound noise and the product array experiments, which gives an explanation of that difference.
