Combining Diagnosis of the Casing and Tooljoint Wear in Mud Fluid While Drilling

A ground monitoring system was developed to diagnose casing and tooljoint wear in a well during drilling by combining the analysis of wear debris with detection of the tooljoints. The result shows that the wear debris concentration in the circulating drilling mud in a well reflects the total wear rate of the triboelements in the well, while the wear detection of a tooljoint can indicate its wear loss between two contiguous times of drill-pipe lifting. A diagnosis method that integrates the two types of information was developed to identify severe wear regions in well casing. Theoretical analyses and field test show that the severe casing wear region can be located relatively accurately by the integrated method. This method presents a new ground casing wear diagnosis approach with good real-time results.     

Remote intelligent identification system of structural damage

The focus of this paper is to build the damage identify system, which performs “system identification“ to detcct the positions and extents of structural damages. The identification of structural damage can be characterized as a nonlinear process which linear prediction models such as linear regression are not suitable. However. neural network techniques may provide an effective tool for system identification. The method of damage identification using the radial basis function neural network (P, BFNN) is presented in this paper. Using this method, a simple reinforced concrete structure has been tested both in the absence and presence of noise. The resuits show that the RBFNN identification technology can he used with related success for the solution of dynamic damage identification problems, even in the presence of a noisy identify data. Furthermore, a remote identification system based on that is set up with Java Technologies.     

Numerical surface characterization of wear debris from artificial joints using atomic force microscopy

Study on surface features of wear particles generated in wear process provides an insight into the progress of material failure of artificial joints. It is very important to quantify the surface features of wear particles in three dimensions. In this study, a new approach using atomic force microscopy was proposed to carry out 3D numerical surface characterization of wear debris generated from artificial joints. Atomic force microscopy combined with image processing techniques was used to acquire appropriate 3D images of wear debris. Computerized image analysis techniques were then used to quantify surface texture features of wear debris such as surface roughness parameters and surface texture index. The method developed from the present study was found to be feasible to quantity the surface characterization of nanoand micro-sized wear debris generated from artificial joints.     

A Decision Support System for Construction Projects Based on Standardized Exchanged Documents

Large amounts of documents are exchanged during the construction phase of projects, which covers the important management information. To utilize the exchanged documents to support decisionmaking of the management staffs, the requirement analysis was carried out based on the interviews to the practitioners. A decision support system called Explyzer+ was developed based on the previous prototype system Explyzer. The latter was enhanced by adding the functions to automate the whole process and the techniques of data mining including decision tree analysis and clustering analysis. A case study for in-depth information analysis was conducted based on the data obtained from a large construction project to demonstrate its feasibility and effectiveness. The system could effectively assist the management staffs to carry out in-depth information analysis for decision-making in construction projects.     

A Control Scheme Based on Online Delay Evaluation for a Class of Networked Control Systems

A control scheme that integrates control technology with communication technology to solve the delay problem is introduced for a class of networked control systems: Networked Half-Link Systems (NHLS). Concretely, we use the master-slave clock synchronization technology to evaluate the delays online, and then the LQ optimal control based on delays is adopted to stabilize the controlled plant. During the clock synchronization process, the error of evaluated delays is inevitably induced from the clock synchronization error, which will deteriorate the system performances, and even make system unstable in certain cases. Hence, the discussions about the clock error, and the related control analysis and design are also developed. Specifically, we present the sufficient conditions of controller parameters that guarantee the system stability, and a controller design method based on the error of delays is addressed thereafter. The experiments based on a CANbus platform are fulfilled, and the experimental results verify the previous analytic results finally.

Application of Computer Integration Technology for Fire Safety Analysis

With the development of information technology, the fire safety assessment of whole structure or region based on the computer simulation has become a hot topic. However, traditionally, the concerned studies are performed separately for different objectives and difficult to perform an overall evaluation. A new multi-dimensional integration model and methodology for fire safety assessment were presented and two newly developed integrated systems were introduced to demonstrate the function of integration simulation technology in this paper. The first one is the analysis on the fire-resistant behaviors of whole structure under real fire loads. The second one is the study on fire evaluation and emergency rescue of campus based on geography information technology (GIS). Some practical examples are presented to illuminate the advantages of computer integration technology on fire safety assessment and emphasize some problems in the simulation. The results show that the multi-dimensional integration model offers a new way and platform for the integrating fire safety assessment of whole structure or region, and the integrated software developed is the useful engineering tools for cost-saving and safe design.
