Reliability analysis is the premise for reinforcement and maintenance of an existing highway tunnel. In order to understand the structure reliability of an existing highway tunnel, a fuzzy mat-ter-element evaluation method was put forward based on entropy weight according to the fuzzy matter-element analysis method. Firstly, levels of inspection results were regarded as objects of matter-element and composite fuzzy matter-elements were constructed considering such factors and their evaluation indexes as cracks of concrete lining, lining thickness, concrete strength, cavities behind the lining and water leakage conditions. Secondly, reliability evaluation results of the existing tunnel structure were obtained by calculating the relevancy. Lastly, fuzzy matter-element evaluation model was effectively used to evaluate reliability of one highway tunnel structure.

Hole surface quality in drilling carbon fiber-reinforced plastics and titanium alloy (CFRP-Ti) stacks is a key factor affecting high-quality assembly and reliable usage of the structure so it need be reasonably evaluated. However, there is no standardized evaluation system of hole surface quality in drilling CFRP-Ti stacks. The existing evaluation indexes cannot meet the evaluation requirements on the surface quality of the hole. This paper proposes a subjective-objective evaluation method to evaluate the surface quality of the hole in drilling CFRP-Ti stacks. Firstly, the evaluation factors are determined by experiments, including CFRP delamination, CFRP hole entrance tears, surface roughness of CFRP and Ti, and the evaluation system is established according to defect characteristics and industry standards. Secondly, the subjective evaluation model is established based on the improved analytic hierarchy process, the objective evaluation model is established based on the entropy weight method and the subjective and objective combination weight calculation method is obtained based on the principle of minimum discriminant information. Finally, the surface quality of the hole is evaluated by subjective, objective, subjective-objective evaluation methods respectively. The result shows that subjective-objective evaluation method is more reasonable and effective.

Abstract Partial destructive disassembly (PDD) is essential for end-of-life products to improve their automatic disassembly efficiency and reduce disassembly cost. A feasibility evaluation of the PDD is the key step to evaluate whether the PDD can be implemented. However, it has not been studied previously to our knowledge. To deal with this problem, a multi-granularity feasibility evaluation method is proposed. A multi-granularity feasibility evaluation model of the PDD was constructed based on the complex product’s hierarchical structure, which not only described the evaluation indices from the product level to the component level but also presented methods and rules to quantify them. 1Thus, disassembly entropy was introduced into the target group’s coarse granularity evaluation. The feasibility of the fine-grained index of the PDD for the component layer was constructed based on the product’s failure characteristic. The fine-grained index was calculated by the fuzzy trigonometric function and its weighting was obtained based on the structure entropy weight method. Thus, the results of the evaluation were used as feedback to guide the PDD process. Finally, a Passat engine case study illustrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the method.

In order to improve the transmission efficiency and carrying capacity of conventional single-belt continuously variable transmission (CVT), one new type of dual-belt CVT is proposed in this paper. Under the situation that this new dual-belt CVT should be switched between single- and dual-belt modes frequently according to driver’s intention and road conditions, so five objective evaluation indexes of mode switching quality for the dual-belt CVT are proposed, considering the aspects of vehicle power, comfort, and transmission durability comprehensively. Then, the objective evaluation model of mode switching quality is established by the BP neural network optimized by the genetic algorithm. It is found that the prediction results are consistent with the subjective evaluation. After analyzing the influence of the selected five evaluation indexes on the prediction results, it is obvious that these five evaluation indexes of mode switching quality for dual-belt CVT are reasonable.

In order to improve the rationality and fairness of Teachers’ “Double-qualified” Ability, the article establishes an evaluation model based on 14 evaluation indexes of teachers’ “double-qualified” ability. it adopts Delphi - entropy weight method to weight the evaluation index, and then combines TOPSIS method to evaluate the evaluation object. In the evaluation of TOPSIS method, the traditional TOPSIS weight method was improved, and the entropy weight-delphi method was used to determine the index weight, which was a combination of subjective and objective, making the evaluation system more objective, scientific and reasonable.It not only avoids the subjectivity of decision makers and limitations, but also eliminates the phenomenon of indexes in common impact assessment results and finally applies it to a university teacher “Double division and triple energy” evaluation system, to provide theoretical basis and feasibility analysis for the “double type” teachers team construction.

Human-water relationship evaluation method based on cloud model is put forward to cope with the vagueness in evaluation language. With the intensive study of the specialty in human-water relationship in Northwest China arid area, three dimensions related to human-water relationship, natural water cycle’s health degree (NWHD), Social water cycle’s rationality degree (SWRD) and human-to-water fitness degree (HWFD) are selected to describe the harmony degree between water system and human system. The limit of evaluation index subordinate to each dimension corresponding to every harmony level is determined, and thus we can generate a comprehensive cloud model with evaluation index harmony level. When numeric values substitute for basic evaluation indexes, combined with the weights calculated from entropy weight method and AHP method, we get the certainty distributions of dimension indexes and integration objects among each harmony level. Case shows that human-water relationship evaluation method based on cloud model can effectively solve the vagueness and uncertainty in evaluation language. The evaluation results reflect the harmony degree in Northwest China arid area precisely.

The basic principle of matter element analysis theory was applied to establish the multi-level extensible evaluation model of advanced public transportation system. First, evaluation index system was established from three aspects, the transit technology level, economic benefit, social benefit and environmental impact. Then, according to the characteristics of evaluation indexes on different levels, entropy method and AHP was respectively used to determine the index weight value. Grade of evaluation was given by calculating relational degrees by layers. Finally, APTS in a city was studied as an example, and improvement measures were put forward. The method is proved to be reasonable and valid.

With regard to the problem that only single index has been used in assessment of reliability, a suitable comprehensive assessment method about reliability index of electromagnetic flowmeter was established, and Mean Time To First Failure(MTTFF), Mean Time Between Failure(MTBF) and equivalent failure rate(D) were selected as the standards of reliability evaluation for the electromagnetic flowmeter in this paper. Because many evaluation elements involved and failure information and evaluation indexes are fuzzy, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation based on entropy weight was introduced to quantify the qualitative evaluation indexes, and indexes weight were determined scientifically by using comprehensive evaluation obtained from combining a subjective expert’s evaluation weight with objective entropy weight. Two kinds of the domestically produced electromagnetic flowmeter were studied, the censored data obtained from the process of consumers’s use were analyzed, and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method based on entropy weight was used to evaluate the indexes of reliability in two kinds of electromagnetic flowmeter comprehensively. The results show that the conclusion is consistent with the fact, the method can effectively solve the problem existed in current modeling, and evaluation of electromagnetic flowmeter reliability has great practical value in the application.
