Fatigue Evaluation ◽

For pressure vessels and other welded structures subjected to cyclic loading conditions, fatigue failure of welded joints has been a major concern in design and operation. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII Division 2 [1] provides different methods for fatigue evaluation on welded joints with various geometries, which facilitates the design and evaluation of welded joints subjected to cyclic loading. The selection of fatigue evaluation method will affect accuracy and outcome. This study attempts to demonstrate the design and evaluation process of a welded joint. Two major different fatigue evaluation methods have been used and results are analyzed and compared against operation data. The intention of this study is simply to present a practical case, through which proper selection of fatigue evaluation method for the specific welded joint could be suggested to achieve a safe, and yet, economical design.

Scheme Evaluation

To construct the rational and scientific design scheme evaluation method for a target, on the basis of researching on the complement of the gray clustering theory and information axiom, applying the combination in the design scheme evaluation, a scheme evaluation method based on the grey clustering and information axiom integrated is put forward. Aiming at the defect of obtaining difficulty for evaluation indexes, the evaluation index system is constructed by using the analytical hierarchy process. Aiming at the shortcoming that qualitative indexes are not be evaluated by information axiom, the qualitative index is whitened by using the triangle whiten weight function. At the same time, the computational formula of the information amount is improved, and the design scope and system scope of design scheme are extended to make the calculation results more actual. The weight of each index in the evaluation process isn’t needed to provide, and the subjective judgment is avoided on the influence of the evaluation results. Taking the process of obtaining the optimal scheme for the mechanical parking equipment as an example, the proposed method is analysis verified. The application examples show that the optimal scheme satisfying user needs is got in a relatively short time by using this evaluation method and a theoretical basis is provided for the establishment of a scientific and rational evaluation method.

It is an important link for supporting business operations and decision-making to select optimal model from multiple models. Based on the analysis on traditional dichotomy model evaluation methods, the paper presented a kind of method to evaluate model performance that consider multiple individual evaluation indexes to compute comprehensive index ranking score. The method solves the problem of difficulty for modeling personnel when using multiple traditional evaluation indexes to evaluate a group model that different conclusion caused by different methods. The evaluation example based on the method shows that the weighted comprehensive index based evaluation method is of reference value for the optimal selection of dichotomy model.

Virtual Communities Of Practice ◽

Aim/Purpose: This paper presents a study of Virtual Communities of Practice (VCoP) evaluation methods that aims to identify their current status and impact on knowledge sharing. The purposes of the study are as follows: (i) to identify trends and research gaps in VCoP evaluation methods; and, (ii) to assist researchers to position new research activities in this domain. Background: VCoP have become a popular knowledge sharing mechanism for both individuals and organizations. Their evaluation process is complex; however, it is recognized as an essential means to provide evidences of community effectiveness. Moreover, VCoP have introduced additional features to face to face Communities of Practice (CoP) that need to be taken into account in evaluation processes, such as geographical dispersion. The fact that VCoP rely on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to execute their practices as well as storing artifacts virtually makes more consistent data analysis possible; thus, the evaluation process can apply automatic data gathering and analysis. Methodology: A systematic mapping study, based on five research questions, was carried out in order to analyze existing studies about VCoP evaluation methods and frameworks. The mapping included searching five research databases resulting in the selection of 1,417 papers over which a formal analysis process was applied. This process led to the preliminary selection of 39 primary studies for complete reading. After reading them, we select 28 relevant primary studies from which data was extracted and synthesized to answer the proposed research questions. Contribution: The authors of the primary studies analyzed along this systematic mapping propose a set of methods and strategies for evaluating VCoP, such as frameworks, processes and maturity models. Our main contribution is the identification of some research gaps present in the body of studies, in order to stimulate projects that can improve VCoP evaluation methods and support its important role in social learning. Findings: The systematic mapping led to the conclusion that most of the approaches for VCoP evaluation do not consider the combination of data structured and unstructured metrics. In addition, there is a lack of guidelines to support community operators’ actions based on evaluation metrics.

Uncertainty Environment ◽

Due to the continuous changes of political environment, consumption habits, technological progress and other factors, the external environment of enterprises is full of uncertainty. The turbulence of external environment is not conducive to the long-term operation and development of enterprises, but also brings great challenges to the selection of suppliers. This makes the competition of enterprises focus on how to choose long-term cooperation suppliers in the uncertain external environment. In addition, due to the deterioration of the global environment, governments pay more and more attention to environmental pollution, and consumers are more and more inclined to green consumption, which makes many companies pay more and more attention to environmental indicators when selecting suppliers. In the case of external environment turbulence and serious environmental pollution, the evaluation and selection of green suppliers in uncertain environment is particularly important for the long-term development of enterprises. What’s more, when the supplier’s capability gap is small, the decision-maker often hesitates among several suppliers. In this paper, the hesitant fuzzy is used to describe the hesitant psychology of decision-makers in selecting suppliers, the variance fluctuation is used to describe the characteristics of hesitant fuzzy numbers, and the probability is used to measure the uncertainty of the environment. A green supplier evaluation model under the uncertainty environment is proposed, which comprehensively evaluates the green suppliers under the uncertain environment. Furthermore, it is compared with other methods that do not consider the uncertainty and the adaptability of evaluation method and right confirmation method, so as to reflect the influence of uncertainty to green supplier evaluation and the importance of adaptability of evaluation method and right confirmation method.

Competency Evaluation

According to the characteristics of human resources managers’ competency and the research of relevant literatures at home and abroad, a competency evaluation method of human resources managers based on multi-granularity linguistic variables and VIKOR method is proposed. Firstly, the evaluation indicator system based on the competency of human resources managers is constructed. Then, by converting the evaluation information of different experts in different granularity to the same granularity by two-semantics, the comprehensive evaluation values can be obtained by integrating information of different experts. Further, the objective weights of the evaluation indexes were determined by the entropy method and an evaluation method were proposed based on the VIKOR method. Finally, an application example is given to illustrate the evaluation procedures of the developed approach and to demonstrate their practicality and effectiveness.
