    linear programming algorithm is used to generate the cutting plans which iteratively calls the above
    knapsack algorithm to improve the objective function based on the principle of minimum production
    cost and changes the current value of punched items to generate a new pattern according to the
    current value. Lastly, a set of optimal cutting patterns is selected to form the cutting scheme. The
    algorithm was compared with the famous T-shape algorithm using some benchmark problem tests.
    The results show that the algorithm can save more sheets than the T-shape one, and the calculation

    Abstract ( 95 )   PDF (1408KB) ( 326 )  
    In order to help designers to check model changes quickly in a collaborative design, this
    paper focuses on how to rapidly compare geometric differences between two 3D models. First, the
    equidistant point clouds of two models are computed, and then a reference coordinate system of each
    point cloud is obtained by using the principal component analysis method. A transformation is then
    found to match the two point clouds to achieve an initial registration. Finally, the ICP (iterative
    closest point) method is used to realize accurate registration for the two point clouds. By computing
    the non-overlapping domain after the exact registration, we obtain the geometric differences between
    the two point clouds. The numerical example shows that the proposed method can effectively
    recognize the geometric differences of two 3D models.

    finite element software (UG, HyperMesh and ANSYS/LS-DYNA), and the transmission
    characteristics of the acoustic emission signals in the side frame were simulated and visualized.
    Finally, the experimental program was proposed based on the simulation analysis, and the lead break
    testing system of the acoustic emission in the side frame was established. The application feasibility
    of the acoustic emission technique was tested on large railway components.

    2016, 37(4): 496-501.  DOI: 10.11996/JG.j.2095-302X.2016040496
    Abstract ( 78 )   PDF (536KB) ( 220 )  
    In order to reduce production cost and increase productive efficiency, working positions
    of assembling robots need to be optimized to reduce the number of robots and the times of changing
    working positions. A hybrid optimization algorithm combining clustering algorithm and simulated
    annealing algorithm was proposed to optimize working positions of robots. Firstly, processing
    objects with common available working positions of robots were clustered by the clustering
    algorithm in order to reduce the scale of the problem. Then, a simulated annealing algorithm with
    multi-solution parallel search was employed to search for the minimum working positions of robots
    available for processing all objects. Testing results show that this algorithm is capable of improving
    optimization result significantly as well as accelerating the convergence of the algorithm
    remarkably.

    Abstract ( 79 )   PDF (1094KB) ( 254 )  
    The existing design and structure analysis of a girder hoisting machine refer to the design
    code in general, but the unfavorable factors, such as the running rail irregularity, running
    asynchronous, etc. are not considered in the process of design and structure analysis. These will even
    cause the safety accident. Aiming at solving the safety problem of girder hoisting machine, the five
    factors affecting structure safety are proposed based on the particular working condition, and three
    values are selected in each factor. In order to scientific arrange the combination of the five factors for
    structural safety assessment, the orthogonal design are introduced. The optimal combination scheme
    of the five factors are obtained by using of the L9(34) orthogonal table. A MG450 type girder hoisting
    machine was taken as example and the ANSYS was used to set up the element model. The
    comparative of analysis results based on the working mode and the traditional design method was
    carried out, and the effect of working mode was analyzed with experimental test. The analysis results
    of girder hoisting machine based on working mode is coincide with the engineering practice.

    2016, 37(4): 530-536.  DOI: 10.11996/JG.j.2095-302X.2016040530
    Abstract ( 87 )   PDF (3009KB) ( 361 )  
    Container recognition and location is one of the key technologies to realize port automation.
    Template matching is one of the basic and frequently used image recognition methods. Traditional
    template matching algorithm only based on gray information of pixels to compare and match objects.
    When external environment changes slightly, the robustness of the algorithm is greatly reduced.
    Moreover, there are some problems, such as low matching efficiency and adaptability, etc. So, an
    algorithm was presented which combined with color template pre-position and image segmentation
    based variable step size block matching. The feature vector with shape invariance was extracted,
    which is an important basis of the container real-time recognition and location. The result shows that
    this recognition method not only improved image segmentation efficiency, but has great adaptability
    for target translation, rotation and scale change.

    2016, 37(4): 537-544.  DOI: 10.11996/JG.j.2095-302X.2016040537
    Abstract ( 171 )   PDF (801KB) ( 372 )  
    Human motions always contain only motions of some body parts, but much of the existing
    methods on action recognition don’t take the motion intensity of each joint into account, which lower
    the accuracy of action recognition in some extent. To solve this problem, an adaptive joint weighting
    scheme is proposed to calculate the weight of each joint and combined the weights with dynamic time
    warping (DTW) to recognize actions. Firstly, the action sequence was segmented into several
    segments and some most violent joints in each segment are assigned higher weight while the
    remaining joints are evenly weighted. Then feature vectors of two action sequences were extracted and
    the distance between two action sequences were calculated by DTW. Finally the action recognition was
    achieved by K-nearest neighbor method. The experiments showed that the overall classification
    accuracy of the proposed method is higher, and the result is also good for some similar actions.

    Steam turbine can remain a safe production state for a long period under the environment
    of high temperature and high pressure if it has certain good strength and intensity. The methods of
    Wahl, M-V and finite element analysis were used in analysis of intensity for a subcritical state turbine
    diaphragm. The results showed that the maximum stress of the diaphragm appeared at the blade’s
    enter side of the blade root, the maximum strain appeared at the equatorial plane at an inner diameter
    of the inner ring, and the maximum stress of the board appeared at the inner diameter of the inner ring
    which was vertical to the equatorial plane. The errors of finite element method and Wahl method were
    smaller, so it proved the reliability of finite elements analysis.
