There is an absent of an effective way to measure the prestress of the structural membranes during the construction stage and under normal conditions. A new approach based on vibration method is proposed in this paper. This article analyzes the vibration characteristic of the typical membrane structures (Saddle Shape and High Point Shape) and provides the theoretical basis for a new approach which is convenient for operation and reliable for engineering application.

The higher order discontinuous asymptotic fields which are similar to the Williams’ solutions of homogenous material are obtained by the displacement method and asymptotic analysis for a plane crack at the physical weak-discontinuous interface in non-homogeneous materials. The results provide a theoretical basis for the numerical analysis, experimental investigation and the engineering application of physical weak-discontinuous fracture.

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce a new approach for an assessment of the credit risks. The initial part of the chapter is to briefly discuss the existing models of assessment of the credit risks and justify the need for a new approach. Since a new approach is created for conditions of uncertainty, we cannot do without fuzzy mathematics. The proposed approach is based on group decision-making, where experts’ opinions are expressed by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The theoretical basis of the offered approach is laid out in the metric space of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The new approach is introduced and discussed, and two realization algorithms are given. The toy example of application of the introduced approach is offered as well.

Reliable and accurate predictions on future states of production systems are the objective of production theories. In this paper, the authors determined shortcomings of current deterministic models and traced them back to the poor theoretical basis of scientific research in the area. The observations resulted in the development of the conceptScientific Management 2.0as an appropriate research methodology for production management. This new empirical approach takes into account three requirements to scientifically precise investigations: It expands existing theory by socio-technical aspects, uses embedded experiments as a profound basis for investigation and provides a design that warrants the methodical exactness required. RWTH Aachen’sDemonstration Factoryrepresents an adequate infrastructure to prove feasibility and performance of the new approach.

A membrane structure is a space structure composed of a membrane material (fabric or film), cables, and steel frames, among others. It reduces the environmental load for transporting materials and constructions; for instance, compared with conventional roofs that have steel panels or tiles, the membrane structure of a roof is lightweight. Computer analysis and three-dimensional (3D) models are required for determining the stable shape of such tensile structures. It is useful to use computer-integrated systems for the design and manufacturing process because these 3D models consist of numerical data. In this study, we developed a system program based on artificial intelligence methods, with a support vector machine instead of human judgment for the membrane structure estimation and for a probabilistic optimization to predict the differences caused by production loss etc. and compare the results after actual production. And we got close predicted results to the person.

Lightweight cable–membrane structures can span large distances and undertake aesthetically pleasing shapes. They are widely used for roofs and modern structural canopies and in the aerospace industry for large on-board antenna reflectors that are to be deployed in space. This paper studies a wind-induced vibration under different cable stress relaxation conditions based on the wind load time-history to obtain the dynamic behavior of such a structure. Particularly, the focus is put upon its wind resistance in the event of stress relaxation. This research can provide an important reference for the design of wind resistance, damage assessment, and emergency maintenance for the spoke-wise cable–membrane structure (SCMS).

A new approach for rapid detection of hazardous gas like domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) using a single SnO 2 gas sensor based on dynamic measurement was studied. The working principles of static and dynamic measurements were compared and experimental and analytical profiles of the dynamic measurement was also investigated. Experimental results showed that hazardous gas such as LPG had obvious properties by using dynamic measurement. The qualitative analysis was also studied by means of fast Fourier transform (FFT), and power spectrum showed that different properties appeared on different concentrations of LPG.

The fine aggregate plays a vital role in the performances of asphalt mixture. In this paper, four kinds of fine aggregates with different lithology, apparent density and water absorption rate were discussed. Asphalt mixture according to AC-13 is prepared by these four kinds of fine aggregates and the volumetric properties, water stability performance and high temperature performance of asphalt mixture were tested. Research shows that: the aggregate performance and the performance of mixture have obvious corresponding relation, which provides the theoretical basis for the engineering application of composite aggregates.
