Assessment of brace types of performance and optimal bracing configuration on steel frames structures by David Dominguez-Santos, Pedro Muñoz Velasco

“…However, this effect also depends on the location of the braces in the structures. In this work, the optimal position of the braces in an eight-story frame is evaluated, analyzing 16 different situations in terms of resistance, ductility, and displacements, using static (Push-over) and dynamic (Time-history) methods with the registration from Lorca. …”

Optimal Selection Criterion for Runoff Component Models Based on Benefit-Risk Balance by DING Xiao-ling, HU Wei-zhong, TANG Hai-hua, LUO Bin, FENG Kuai-le

“…To address this, this study proposes a selection criterion for runoff component models based on the balance between benefits and risks. [Methods] Based on the diagnosis and quantitative description of evolution characteristics such as mutations, trends, and periodicities using time-series variability detection methods—the Mann-Kendall test, sliding T-test, Pettitt test, Standard Normal Homogeneity test, Buishand test, and periodogram—different forms of linear superposition models were developed by combinations and extraction sequences of the identified components, such as mutation, trend, and periodicity. …”

Research on mechanisms for optimizing the risk resistance capability of hypernetworks by Lei Chen, Xiujuan Ma, Fuxiang Ma, Yalan Li

“…The research results indicate that both mechanisms effectively improve the hypernetwork’s risk resistance, but the optimization effects differ. When the number of recombined hyperedges is 0.2*M (where M is the total number of hyperedges in the hypernetwork), the BIP of the random recombination mechanism stabilize at 25%, while the BIP of the low preference recombination mechanism ultimately reaches about 65%. …”
