Optimal Asynchronous Dynamic Policies in Energy-Efficient Data Centers

open access: yesSystems, 2022
In this paper, we apply a Markov decision process to find the optimal asynchronous dynamic policy of an energy-efficient data center with two server groups.

Recovering non-monotonicity problems of voting rules [PDF]

open access: yesSocial Choice and Welfare, 2020
A social choice rule (SCR) is monotonic if raising a single alternative in voters’ preferences while leaving the rankings otherwise unchanged is never detrimental to the prospects for winning of the raised alternative. Monotonicity is rather weak but well-known to discriminate against scoring elimination rules, such as plurality with a run off and ...

Soft‐Layered Composites with Wrinkling‐Activated Multi‐Linear Elastic Behavior, Stress Mitigation, and Enhanced Strain Energy Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, exciting new bi‐/multi‐linear elastic behavior of soft elastic composites that accompany the activation of wrinkling in the embedded interfacial layers is analyzed. The new features and performance of these composite materials, including dramatic enhancements in energy storage, can be tailored by the concentration of interfacial layers ...

Discovering Rules That Govern Monotone Phenomena [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Unlocking the mystery of natural phenomena is a universal objective in scientific research. The rules governing a phenomenon can most often be learned by observing it under a sufficiently large number of conditions that are sufficiently high in resolution. The general knowledge discovery process is not always easy or efficient, and even if knowledge is

Development and Validation of a One‐Dimensional Finite Difference Simulation Scheme for Polymer Laser Powder Bed Fusion with Application to the Effect of the Inter Layer Time

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents an efficient simulation approach for the polymer laser powder bed fusion process polymers process, validated with polyamide 12, polyamide 6, and polyetherketoneketone. It shows that inter layer time affects part density, with 90s yielding dense parts.

Tribology of ZrC Coatings and Spherical Tips Acquired with Extraordinarily Stiff, Metal Atomic Force Microscopy Probes

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this research, ZrC coatings are evaluated against various counterprobes at the microscale using novel super‐stiff atomic force microscopy cantilevers. The chemical composition of the coating is shown to be an important factor influencing coating hardness and Young's modulus, while surface roughness, counterprobe hardness, and surface energy are the ...

Rule base compression in fuzzy systems by filtration of non-monotonic rules [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2014
This paper proposes a rule base compression method for Mamdani fuzzy systems with non-monotonic rules. The method is based on filtration of non-monotonic rules whereby the redundant computations in the fuzzy inference with respect to the crisp values of the inputs to the fuzzy system are removed.

A Simulative Approach for the Prediction of Mesoscale Residual Stress Fields in Solution‐Strengthened Ferritic Ductile Iron

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a 3D representative volume element‐based simulation approach to predict mesoscopic residual stress and strain fields in silicon solid solution‐strengthened ductile cast iron. By modeling phase transformation kinetics with an enhanced Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov model, the effects of varying cooling rates on residual stresses are ...

Monotone Fuzzy Rule Relabeling for the Zero-Order TSK Fuzzy Inference System

open access: yesIEEE transactions on fuzzy systems, 2016
To maintain the monotonicity property of a fuzzy inference system, a monotonically ordered and complete set of fuzzy rules is necessary. However, monotonically ordered fuzzy rules are not always available, e.g., errors in human judgments lead to ...
