Measuring Compressive Strength Characteristics of Soil-Dobak-Glue Mixtures over Curing Time by Myeonghwan Kim, Seongjun Eom

“…Three specimens, lime mixed specimen, Dobak-glue mixed specimen, and standard specimen, were prepared, and their water content and compressive strength values were averaged. Although the change in water content according to the curing period differed depending on the material mixed with soil, there was no significant difference between 7.12% and 2.82% after 7 days. …”

Sparsity adaptive channel estimation algorithm based on compressive sensing for massive MIMO systems by Li-jun GE, Hui GUO, Yue LI, Lan ZHAO

“…A sparsity-adaptive channel estimation algorithm based on compressive sensing was proposed for massive MIMO systems when the number of channel multi-paths was unknown.By exploiting the joint sparsity characteristics of the sub-channels，the proposed block sparsity adaptive matching pursuit (BSAMP) algorithm first selected atoms by setting a threshold and finding the position of the maximum backward difference，which reduces the energy dispersion caused by the non-orthogonality of the observation matrix and improves the performance of the algorithm.Then a regularization method was utilized to improve the stability of the algorithm.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm recovers the channel state information accurately and shows a high computational efficiency.…”

Sensitivity Analysis of Axial Compressive Bearing Capacity of CFRP Concrete-filled Steel Tube by WU Jian, ZOU Hong, XU Zhichun, WANG Kunyun

“…The axial compressive bearing capacity of CFRP concrete-filled steel tube is related to many factors.Due to material manufacturing and use,these parameters are not a definite value.Based on this,this paper carries out the sensitivity analysis of axial compressive bearing capacity of CFRP concrete-filled steel tube with consideration of the uncertainty of parameters,conducts the parametric modeling of CFRP concrete-filled steel tube with Python,ABAQUS scripting language based on nine parameters and parameter sample values,calculates the ultimate bearing capacity by ABAQUS batch processor,analyzes the local and global sensitivity of ultimate bearing capacity,establishes the fitting function relation by the second order response surface aiming at the problem of large amount and long time of global sensitivity calculation,and calculates the global sensitivity index by the extended Fourier amplitude sensitivity test.The results show that:The inner diameter of steel tube has the greatest influence on the ultimate bearing capacity.By comparing the two methods of local sensitivity and global sensitivity,the parameters vary in a small range,and the ideal results can be obtained quickly through local sensitivity analysis.If the difference in variability of each parameter is too big,the results from global sensitivity analysis are more accurate.…”
