Crop classification with deep convolutional neural network based on crop feature by Mohamad Reza Gili, Davoud Ashourloo, Hosein Aghighi, Ali Akbar Matkan, Alireza SHakiba

“…Due to the spectral overlap of the crops in some time periods, network training was associated with a relatively high loss and therefore, for the test area, the overall classification accuracy was 69% (percent) and the kappa coefficient was 0.55. In the next step, the functions that were developed as phenological features for crops were applied on the time series of the bands, and for each crop, a feature channel was obtained as the special feature of that crop. …”

Optimisation of the performance and structure of soluble ball seat metal sealing rings based on response surface by CHEN Zhen, RAN Qingjie, CHEN Nengpeng, WANG Qiaomu

“…The increase of groove parameters (groove width and depth) can enhance the contact pressure, and at the same time, increase the equivalent stress, which may lead to local strength deficiency.Through the sensitivity analysis, the sensitivity coefficients of the radius of the metal seal ring to the equivalent force and contact pressure were found to reach 0.67 and 0.82, which were the dominant variables affecting the sealing performance; the width and depth of the grooves regulated the stress distribution through the geometric compensation mechanism. …”
