    Abstract In this paper, we propose a parameterization transfer algorithm for planar domains bounded by B-spline curves, where the shapes of the planar domains are similar. The domain geometries are considered to be similar if their simplified skeletons have the same structures. One domain we call source domain, and it is parameterized using multi-patch B-spline surfaces. The resulting parameterization is C1 continuous in the regular region and G1 continuous around singular points regardless of whether the parameterization of the source domain is C1/G1 continuous or not. In this algorithm, boundary control points of the source domain are extracted from its parameterization… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.028828
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Computer Modeling of Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging)
    Abstract In recent years, the soft subspace clustering algorithm has shown good results for high-dimensional data, which can assign different weights to each cluster class and use weights to measure the contribution of each dimension in various features. The enhanced soft subspace clustering algorithm combines interclass separation and intraclass tightness information, which has strong results for image segmentation, but the clustering algorithm is vulnerable to noisy data and dependence on the initialized clustering center. However, the clustering algorithm is susceptible to the influence of noisy data and reliance on initialized clustering centers and falls into a local optimum; the clustering effect… More >

    Abstract Modular construction as an innovative method aids the construction industry in transforming to off-site construction production with high efficiency and environmental friendliness. Despite the obvious advantages, the uptake of modular construction is not booming as expected. However, previous studies have investigated and summarized the barriers to the adoption of modular construction. In this research, a Large-Scale Group Decision Making (LSGDM)- based analysis is first made of the severity of barriers to modular construction adoption from the perspective of construction stakeholders. In addition, the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework is utilized to identify the barriers based on three contexts (technology, organization, and environment).… More >

Flexible job shop scheduling (FJS) is critical in JS, and it has been widely employed in many industries, including aerospace and energy. FJS enables any machine from a certain set to handle an operation, and this is an NP-hard problem. Furthermore, due to the requirements in real-world cases, multi-objective FJS is increasingly widespread, thus increasing the challenge of solving the FJS problems. As a result, it is necessary to develop a novel method to address this challenge. To achieve this goal, a novel collaborative evolutionary algorithm with two-population based… More >

    Abstract Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm that imitates the predation characteristics of Harris Hawk and combines Lévy flight to solve complex multidimensional problems. Nevertheless, the basic HHO algorithm still has certain limitations, including the tendency to fall into the local optima and poor convergence accuracy. Coot Bird Optimization (CBO) is another new swarm-based optimization algorithm. CBO originates from the regular and irregular motion of a bird called Coot on the water’s surface. Although the framework of CBO is slightly complicated, it has outstanding exploration potential and excellent capability to avoid falling into local optimal solutions. This paper… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.027708
    Abstract Through semi-supervised learning and knowledge inheritance, a novel Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy system framework is proposed for epilepsy data classification in this study. The new method is based on the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) method and TSK fuzzy system, as a basic model for the classification of epilepsy data. First, for medical data, the interpretability of TSK fuzzy systems can ensure that the prediction results are traceable and safe. Second, in view of the deviation in the data distribution between the real source domain and the target domain, MMD is used to measure the distance between dierent data distributions.

    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Peridynamics and its Current Progress)
    Abstract How to simulate fracture mode and crack propagation path in a plate with multiple cracks is an attractive but dicult issue in fracture mechanics. Peridynamics is a recently developed nonlocal continuum formulation that can spontaneously predict the crack nucleation, branch and propagation in materials and structures through a meshfree discrete technique. In this paper, the peridynamic motion equation with boundary traction is improved by simplifying the boundary transfer functions. We calculate the critical cracking load and the fracture angles of the plate with multiple cracks under uniaxial tension. The results are consistent with those predicted by classical fracture mechanics. The… More >

    Abstract The harmonic balance (HB) method is one of the most commonly used methods for solving periodic solutions of both weakly and strongly nonlinear dynamical systems. However, it is confined to low-order approximations due to complex symbolic operations. Many variants have been developed to improve the HB method, among which the time domain HB-like methods are regarded as crucial improvements because of their fast computation and simple derivation. So far, there are two problems remaining to be addressed. i) A dozen of different versions of HB-like methods, in frequency domain or time domain or in hybrid, have been developed; unfortunately, misclassification… More >

    Abstract The real world is filled with uncertainty, vagueness, and imprecision. The concepts we meet in everyday life are vague rather than precise. In real-world situations, if a model requires that conclusions drawn from it have some bearings on reality, then two major problems immediately arise, viz. real situations are not usually crisp and deterministic; complete descriptions of real systems often require more comprehensive data than human beings could recognize simultaneously, process and understand. Conventional mathematical tools which require all inferences to be exact, are not always efficient to handle imprecisions in a wide variety of practical situations. Following the latter… More >

    Abstract Spherical fuzzy soft expert set (SFSES) theory blends the perks of spherical fuzzy sets and group decision-making into a unified approach. It allows solutions to highly complicated uncertainties and ambiguities under the unbiased supervision and group decision-making of multiple experts. However, SFSES theory has some deficiencies such as the inability to interpret and portray the bipolarity of decision-parameters. This work highlights and overcomes these limitations by introducing the novel spherical fuzzy bipolar soft expert sets (SFBSESs) as a powerful hybridization of spherical fuzzy set theory with bipolar soft expert sets (BSESs).

Then the steady-state response moments of the nontrivial solution are studied using the moment method, and the analytical expressions for the first-order and second-order moments of the voltage amplitude are obtained, respectively.
