2025, 39(1): 1-6. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0031
Abstract:
The kinematics and dynamics modeling method for a six-degree-of-freedom stacking robot using Matlab was proposed, as well as stacking trajectory planning and rhythm analysis methods. The improved D-H method was employed to establish coordinate systems and transformation matrices for robot links, followed by the contruction of a simulation model through robot toolbox in Matlab. Trajectory planning and operational rhythm analysis were conducted according to different pallet patterns and stacking postures, which enabled a comprehensive evaluation of trajectory parameters, rhythm time, efficiency and other parameters. Based on the parameters of the mass, moment of inertia, and center of mass of each link of the designed robot, a dynamics model of the robot was established in Matlab for numerical analysis to obtain the torque curves of each joint. Simulation results demonstrate that the motion characteristics of the robot during palletizing operations can provide critical references for mechanical structure design and key component selection.

2025, 39(1): 7-14. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0033
Abstract:
The ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling process of Al7075-T6/Ti6Al4V under varying rotational speeds and vibration trajectories was analyzed. The drilling process was simulated using the finite element software Deform, with detailed analysis conducted on the workpiece's drilling force, heat and delamination under vibration assisted conditions. The simulation results show that in the thermo-mechanical coupling model of titanium alloy and aluminum alloy drilling, the most significant changes in drilling force and temperature occur when comparing conventional drilling (CD), axial vibration assisted drilling (UAD), and longitudinal torsional vibration assisted drilling (EUAD) model. In terms of delamination, aluminum alloy is more prone to the thermal softening effect than titanium alloy, and the possibility of uplift delamination is greater. The bottom of titanium alloy loses support, and the possibility of pushing away delamination is also high. Ultrasonic vibration changes the force distribution of each layer, reducing the drilling force, temperature and delamination defects during the drilling process. It reveals that EUAD exhibits performance at low rotational speeds, achieving over 30% reduction in axial force, torque and temperature exceeds , whereas its effectiveness decreases by more than 20% at high speed.

CAI Yuhang, ZHANG Wei, HU Zhi, ZHANG Pengyu
2025, 39(1): 21-27, 36. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0023
Abstract:
Compared with integer-order systems, fractional-order systems can better characterize atypical and nonlinear dynamic behaviors, and making them more suitable for describing complex control systems with memory. The observer-based positive consensus problem of fractional-order multiagent systems (FOMAS) was investigated. First, a Luenberger observer was employed to estimate the systems state. By leveraging positive system theory, a sufficient and necessary condition for the positive consensus of FOMAS was obtained. To reduce conservatism, this condition was further optimized through the bounds of improved Laplacian matrix eigenvalues. A less conservative sufficient condition of Riccati inequality type was then established, incorporating the number of nodes in the directed network. Subsequently, by solving the algebraic Riccati inequality, the positive consensus semidfinite programming algorithm for the observer-based FOMAS was presented. Finally, the validity of the obtained results was verified by numerical simulation.

2025, 39(1): 28-36. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0034
Abstract:
Aiming at the problem of unbalanced mid-point potential in T-type three-level inverters, the principle of unbalanced mid-point potential in traditional T-type neutral point clamped (NPC) three-level inverters was investigated. To address the mid-point potential imbalance caused by voltage variation on DC side, an optimized topology with an active mid-point potential balancing strategy and a fuzzy PI control were proposed. A simulation system model of the optimized topology T-type three-level inverter was established by Matlab/Simulink, simulation analyses with different control strategies were conducted, and a grid-connected experimental platform was set up to validate the proposed methodology. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the fuzzy PI control under the optimized topology can effectively suppress the mid-point voltage fluctuations, with the advantages of fast dynamic response and high response precision, enhancing the disturbance resistance and stability of the inverter system.

WANG Jing, ZHANG Haifeng, SHA Ling, WANG Dai
2025, 39(1): 44-51. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0037
Abstract:
Multi-brandshared battery swap stations for electric vehicle have become an effective solution to address issues such as low utilization of battery swapping resources and high operational costs. A simulation framework was proposed to model the entire process of electric vehicle station selection, queuing, battery swapping, and departure behaviors, with a focus on investigating how battery quantities of different brands and battery-sharing models affect service quality and operational costs. Based on the location information and operational data of NIO's battery swapping network in Shanghai, multi-scenario simulations were conducted to quantify the impact of different battery configuration schemes on the queuing time for battery swapping users and to calculate the total number of batteries required to maintain a reasonable queuing time. The simulation results demonstrate that by optimizing the number of batteries in the swapping station or adopting a multi-brand battery sharing approach, the service quality of the swapping station can be significantly improved, and the cost of batteries can be reduced.

ZHUANG Xuyao, WEI Dan, LIANG Danyang
2025, 39(1): 58-64. doi: 10.12299/jsues.23-0260
Abstract:
Occluded person re-identification (ReID) in practical applications faces the main challenges of incomplete or noisy pedestrian features during the extraction and matching processes, which necessitates models with higher stability. Deep learning techniques were employed to construct the ReID model, which incorporates two modules: region attention selection and feature enhancement. The former adaptively selects regions of interest from the original image, while the latter distinguishes human features and applies weighting during the matching process. The ablation analysis demonstrates that these two modules are embeddable and beneficial to occluded pedestrian re-identification task. It can achieve Rank-1 accuracy rates of 55.9% and 79.1% on the Occluded-Duke and Occluded-ReID datasets, respectively.

2025, 39(1): 65-72. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0024
Abstract:
Excavation dewatering is an essential part of foundation pit engineering, but it carries many risks. To ensure the safety of the foundation pit excavation dewatering, a comprehensive risk assessment model was established based on neutrosophic enhanced best-worst method (NE-BWM) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Taking an excavation dewatering of foundation pit in Shanghai as a case study, a risk indicator system was constructed to validate the comprehensive risk assessment model, and sensitivity analysis was performed on the evaluation results. The findings show that this method can yield relatively objective and reliable evaluation results, which are consistent with the actual engineering situation.

TANG Xuan, LI Lu
2025, 39(1): 86-92. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0039
Abstract:
Long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are widely used for stock price prediction; however, their performance tends to be suboptimal when applied to stock price data with significant fluctuations. A novel WT-L2-LSTM model was proposed, which integrates wavelet transform with L2-LSTM. The original broadband data was decomposed into multiple layers of narrowband data using wavelet transform, and then the L2-LSTM model was used for the prediction layer by layer. The decomposed data is smoother and allows for parameter tuning layer by layer. The prediction results demonstrate that the WT-L2-LSTM model is superior to the LSTM model in terms of goodness of fit and mean square error, indicating that the WT-L2-LSTM model has better accuracy and generalization performance in predicting stock prices.

LU Kun, WU Shujing, ZHANG Cheng, WANG Dazhong
2025, 39(1): 99-105. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0030
Abstract:
The addition of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticle to minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) base oils forms nanofluid minimal quantity lubrication (NMQL). Using NMQL machining can further enhance the tribological state and improve the surface quality of workpiece. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was developed and simulated to investigate the flow field and heat transfer mechanism during NMQL machining of Ti6Al4V. Through the CFD model, a parametric cross-analysis of different flow rates and inlet pressures was conducted to explore the effects of NMQL on cutting heat under various cooling conditions and the selection principles of optimal process parameters. Finite element analysis of turbulent two-phase flow and heat transfer was performed to sumrize the effect of adding Al2O3 nanoparticle to MQL base oil on the temperature distribution across the tool surface. The results show that the average tool temperature decreases with increasing Al2O3 nanoparticle concentration, and the maximum temperature near the tool tip decreases by about 6% on average, thus effectively improving the temperature distribution in the cutting area. The exploration of the flow field and heat transfer during NMQL machining of Ti6Al4V can provide valuable references for studying machining modes and mechanisms of difficult-to-process materials such as Ti6Al4V, offering both theoretical significance and application value.

MAO Yangyang, TIAN Jin, YAN Fengting, ZHANG Yujin
2025, 39(1): 106-112. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0025
Abstract:
In response to the challenge that current hardware performance and network bandwidth are insufficient to support real-time rendering of massive data in 3D scenes, a web-based building information modeling (BIM) scene roaming solution was proposed. Initially, the BIM model was reconstructed, and a top-down hierarchical structure was employed to achieve fine-grained instances of scene components. Subsequently, model compression was completed based on the spatial position of vertices and the similarity calculation between components to shorten the display delay of the scene. Finally, a visual component picking algorithm based on the two-layer architecture of view frustum ball and view frustum was designed to complete scene selection and rendering by off-line component number and reduce hardware load. Five different scale scenarios were selected for validation. The results demonstrate an average compression rate of 45%, which enables smooth 30 frames per second roaming for GB-scale scene in web-based applications.

Abstract:
To enhance the accuracy of text classification models and address the deficiencies of traditional word vector models in syntax, semantics, and deep-level information representation, a text classification model based on the ERNIE 3.0 pre-trained model with BiLSTM_Attention was proposed. First, the ERNIE 3.0 model was used to encode text dataset, generating word vectors with rich semantic information. Subsequently, text features were extracted through the BiLSTM layer and the Attention layer. Finally, the output word vectors were classified via the Softmax layer. Classification experiments conducted on the THUCNews dataset compared the accuracy and F1-score metrics across different models. The results show that the ERNIE 3.0_BiLSTM_Attention model achieves superior classification performance.
