Detecting and correcting these defects is crucial, yet there is a lack of published models specificallydesigned for correctingMPI defects. To address this, we propose a model for detecting and correcting MPI defects(DC_MPI), which aims to detect and correct defects in various types of MPI communication, including blockingpoint-to-point (BPTP), nonblocking point-to-point (NBPTP), and collective communication (CC). The defectsaddressed by the DC_MPI model include illegal MPI calls, deadlocks (DL), race conditions (RC), and messagemismatches (MM). To assess the effectiveness of the DC_MPI model, we performed experiments on a datasetconsisting of 40 MPI codes. The results indicate that the model achieved a detection rate of 37 out of 40 codes,resulting in an overall detection accuracy of 92.5%. Additionally, the execution duration of the DC_MPI modelranged from 0.81 to 1.36 s. These findings show that the DC_MPI model is useful in detecting and correctingdefects in MPI implementations, thereby enhancing the reliability and performance of parallel applications. TheDC_MPImodel fills an important research gap and provides a valuable tool for improving the quality ofMPI-basedparallel computing systems.展开更多

文摘In order to explore the effect of vacancy defects on the structural,electronic,magnetic and optical properties of CoS_(2) and FeS_(2),first-principles calculation method was used to investigate the alloys.The calculated results of materials without vacancy are consistent with those reported in the literatures,while the results of materials with vacancy defect were different from those of literatures due to the difference vacancy concentration.The Co vacancy defect hardly changes the half-metallic characteristic of CoS_(2).The Fe vacancy defect changes FeS_(2) from semiconductor to half-metal,and the bottom of the spin-down conduction band changes from the p orbital state of S to the d(t_(2g))orbital state of Fe,while the top of the valence band remains the d orbital d(eg)state of Fe.The half-metallic Co vacancy defects of CoS_(2) and Fe vacancy defects of FeS_(2) are expected to be used in spintronic devices.S vacancy defects make both CoS_(2) and FeS_(2) metallic.Both the Co and S vacancy defects lead to the decrease of the magnetic moment of CoS_(2),while both the Fe and S vacancy defects lead to the obvious magnetic property of FeS_(2).Vacancy defects enhance the absorption coefficient of infrared band and long band of visible light obviously,and produce obvious red shift phenomenon,which is expected to be used in photoelectric devices.

文摘Smart manufacturing is a process that optimizes factory performance and production quality by utilizing various technologies including the Internet of Things(IoT)and artificial intelligence(AI).Quality control is an important part of today’s smart manufacturing process,effectively reducing costs and enhancing operational efficiency.As technology in the industry becomes more advanced,identifying and classifying defects has become an essential element in ensuring the quality of products during the manufacturing process.In this study,we introduce a CNN model for classifying defects on hot-rolled steel strip surfaces using hybrid deep learning techniques,incorporating a global average pooling(GAP)layer and a machine learning-based SVM classifier,with the aim of enhancing accuracy.Initially,features are extracted by the VGG19 convolutional block.Then,after processing through the GAP layer,the extracted features are fed to the SVM classifier for classification.For this purpose,we collected images from publicly available datasets,including the Xsteel surface defect dataset(XSDD)and the NEU surface defect(NEU-CLS)datasets,and we employed offline data augmentation techniques to balance and increase the size of the datasets.The outcome of experiments shows that the proposed methodology achieves the highest metrics score,with 99.79%accuracy,99.80%precision,99.79%recall,and a 99.79%F1-score for the NEU-CLS dataset.Similarly,it achieves 99.64%accuracy,99.65%precision,99.63%recall,and a 99.64%F1-score for the XSDD dataset.A comparison of the proposed methodology to the most recent study showed that it achieved superior results as compared to the other studies.

文摘Due to ever-increasing concerns about safety issues in using Li ionic batteries,solid electrolytes have extensively explored.The Li-rich antiperovskite Li_(3)OBr has been considered as a promising solid electrolyte candidate,but it still suffers challenges to achieve a high ionic conductivity owing to the high intrinsic symmetry of the crystal lattice.Herein,we presented a design strategy that introduces various point defects and grain boundaries to break the high lattice symmetry of Li_(3)OBr crystal,and their effect and microscopic mechanism of promoting the migration of Li-ion were explored theoretically.It has been found that Li_(i)are the dominant defects responsible for the fast Li-ion diffusion in bulk Li_(3)OBr and its surface,but they are easily trapped by the grain boundaries,leading to the annihilating of the Frenkel defect pair V'_(Li)+Li_(i),and thus limits the V'_(Li)diffusion at the grain boundaries.The V_(Br)defect near the grain boundaries can effectively drive V'_(Li)across the grain boundary,thereby converting the carrier of Li^(+)migration from Li,in the bulk and surface to V'_(Li)at the grain boundary,and thus improving the ionic conductivity in the whole Li_(3)OBr crystal.This work provides a comprehensive insight into the Li^(+)transport and conduction mechanism in the Li_(3)OBr electrolyte.It opens a new way of improving the conductivity for all-solid-state Li electrolyte material through the defect design.

文摘Segment Anything Model(SAM)is a cutting-edge model that has shown impressive performance in general object segmentation.The birth of the segment anything is a groundbreaking step towards creating a universal intelligent model.Due to its superior performance in general object segmentation,it quickly gained attention and interest.This makes SAM particularly attractive in industrial surface defect segmentation,especially for complex industrial scenes with limited training data.However,its segmentation ability for specific industrial scenes remains unknown.Therefore,in this work,we select three representative and complex industrial surface defect detection scenarios,namely strip steel surface defects,tile surface defects,and rail surface defects,to evaluate the segmentation performance of SAM.Our results show that although SAM has great potential in general object segmentation,it cannot achieve satisfactory performance in complex industrial scenes.Our test results are available at:https://github.com/VDT-2048/SAM-IS.

文摘With the advent of Industry 4.0,marked by a surge in intelligent manufacturing,advanced sensors embedded in smart factories now enable extensive data collection on equipment operation.The analysis of such data is pivotal for ensuring production safety,a critical factor in monitoring the health status of manufacturing apparatus.Conventional defect detection techniques,typically limited to specific scenarios,often require manual feature extraction,leading to inefficiencies and limited versatility in the overall process.Our research presents an intelligent defect detection methodology that leverages deep learning techniques to automate feature extraction and defect localization processes.Our proposed approach encompasses a suite of components:the high-level feature learning block(HLFLB),the multi-scale feature learning block(MSFLB),and a dynamic adaptive fusion block(DAFB),working in tandem to extract meticulously and synergistically aggregate defect-related characteristics across various scales and hierarchical levels.We have conducted validation of the proposed method using datasets derived from gearbox and bearing assessments.The empirical outcomes underscore the superior defect detection capability of our approach.It demonstrates consistently high performance across diverse datasets and possesses the accuracy required to categorize defects,taking into account their specific locations and the extent of damage,proving the method’s effectiveness and reliability in identifying defects in industrial components.

文摘Titanium alloys play an important role in aerospace and other fields.However,after precision forging and cold rolling process,some defects will appear on the subsurface of titanium alloy bars,thus reducing the surface quality and precision of turning process.This study aimed at exploring the effect of crack defects on TC4 cutting.Firstly,the finite element cutting simulation model of TC4 material with crack defects was established in ABAQUS.Then,the cutting parameters such as cutting force,stress concentration,chip morphology,residual stress were obtained by changing the variables such as the size and height of crack defects.Finally,the turning experiment was carried out on centerless lathe.The results show that the cutting force changes abruptly when the defect position is located on the cutting path,the maximal stress occurs at the tip of the defect,and the mutation of stress value is more serious with the increase of defect size;the buckling deformation of chip morphology occurs and becomes less serious with the increase of the distance between the defect position and the workpiece surface;the surface residual stress near the defect is related to the stress when the tool is close to the defect,the larger defect size and the closer to the machined surface,the greater the residual stress.Therefore,under certain processing conditions,the TC4 material should avoid large size defects or increase the distance between defects and the machined surface,so as to obtain better and stable surface quality.

文摘This study aims to develop a damage-detection algorithm based on the electromagnetic wave properties inside a reinforced concrete structure.The proposed method involves employing two algorithms based on data measured using ground-penetrating radar—a common electromagnetic wave method in civil engineering.The possible defect area was identified based on the energy dissipated by the damage in the frequency-wavenumber domain,with the damage localized using the calculated relative permittivity of the measurements.The proposed method was verified through a finite difference time-domain-based numerical analysis and a testing slab with artificial damage.As a result of verification,the proposed method quickly identified the presence of damage inside the concrete,especially for honeycomb-like defects located at the top of the rebar.This study has practical significance in scanning structures over a large area more quickly than other non-destructive testing methods,such as ultrasonic methods.

文摘A dent is a common type of defects for submarine pipeline.For submarine pipelines,high hydrostatic pressure and internal pressure are the main loads.Once pipelines bend due to complex subsea conditions,the compression strain capacity may be exceeded.Research into the local buckling failure and accurate prediction of the compressive strain capacity are important.A finite element model of a pipeline with a dent is established.Local buckling failure under a bending moment is investigated,and the compressive strain capacity is calculated.The effects of different parameters on pipeline local buckling are analyzed.The results show that the dent depth,external pressure and internal pressure lead to different local buckling failure modes of the pipeline.A higher internal pressure indicates a larger compressive strain capacity,and the opposite is true for external pressure.When the ratio of external pressure to collapse pressure of intact pipeline is greater than 0.1,the deeper the dent,the greater the compressive strain capacity of the pipeline.And as the ratio is less than 0.1,the opposite is true.On the basis of these results,a regression equation for predicting the compressive strain capacity of a dented submarine pipeline is proposed,which can be referred to during the integrity assessment of a submarine pipeline.

文摘As the protective component,steel plate had attracted extensive attention because of frequently threats of explosive loads.In this paper,the evolution of microstructure and the mechanism of damage in the quasi-cracking area of steel plate subjected to explosive load were discussed and the relationships between micro defects and dynamic mechanical response were revealed.After the explosion experiment,five observation points were selected equidistant from the quasi-cracking area of the section of the steel plate along the thickness direction,and the characteristics of micro defects at the observation points were analyzed by optical microscope(OM),scanning electron microscope(SEM) and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD).The observation result shows that many slip bands(SBs) appeared,and the grain orientation changed obviously in the steel plate,the two were the main damage types of micro defects.In addition,cracks,peeling pits,grooves and other lager micro defects were appeared in the lower area of the plate.The stress parameters of the observation points were obtained through an effective numerical model.The mechanism of damage generation and crack propagation in the quasicracking area were clarified by comparing the specific impulse of each observation point with the corresponding micro defects.The result shows that the generation and expansion of micro defects are related to the stress area(i.e.the upper compression area,the neutral plane area,and the lower tension area).The micro defects gather and expand at the grain boundary,and will become macroscopic damage under the continuous action of tensile stress.Besides,the micro defects at the midpoint of the section of the steel plate in the direction away from the explosion center(i.e.the horizontal direction) were also studied.It was found that the specific impulse at these positions were much smaller than that in the thickness direction,the micro defects were only SBs and a few micro cracks,and the those decreased with the increase of the distance from the explosion center.
文摘Defect engineering has become a promising approach to improve the performance of hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)catalysts.Non-noble transition metal-based catalysts(TMCs)have shown significant promise as effective alternatives to traditional platinum-group catalysts,attracting considerable attention.However,the industrial application of TMCs in electrocatalytic hydrogen production necessitates further optimization to boost both catalytic activity and stability.This review comprehensively examines the types,fabrication methods,and characterization techniques of various defects that enhance catalytic HER activity.Key advancements include optimizing defect concentration and distribution,coupling heteroatoms with vacancies,and leveraging the synergy between bond lengths and defects.In-depth discussions highlight the electronic structure and catalytic mechanisms elucidated through in-situ characterization and density functional theory calculations.Additionally,future directions are identified,exploring novel defect types,emphasizing precision synthesis methods,industrial-scale preparation techniques,and strategies to enhance structural stability and understanding the in-depth catalytic mechanism.This review aims to inspire further research and development in defect-engineered HER catalysts,providing pathways for high efficiency and cost-effectiveness in hydrogen production.
文摘Railway turnouts often develop defects such as chipping,cracks,and wear during use.If not detected and addressed promptly,these defects can pose significant risks to train operation safety and passenger security.Despite advances in defect detection technologies,research specifically targeting railway turnout defects remains limited.To address this gap,we collected images from railway inspectors and constructed a dataset of railway turnout defects in complex environments.To enhance detection accuracy,we propose an improved YOLOv8 model named YOLO-VSS-SOUP-Inner-CIoU(YOLO-VSI).The model employs a state-space model(SSM)to enhance the C2f module in the YOLOv8 backbone,proposed the C2f-VSS module to better capture long-range dependencies and contextual features,thus improving feature extraction in complex environments.In the network’s neck layer,we integrate SPDConv and Omni-Kernel Network(OKM)modules to improve the original PAFPN(Path Aggregation Feature Pyramid Network)structure,and proposed the Small Object Upgrade Pyramid(SOUP)structure to enhance small object detection capabilities.Additionally,the Inner-CIoU loss function with a scale factor is applied to further enhance the model’s detection capabilities.Compared to the baseline model,YOLO-VSI demonstrates a 3.5%improvement in average precision on our railway turnout dataset,showcasing increased accuracy and robustness.Experiments on the public NEU-DET dataset reveal a 2.3%increase in average precision over the baseline,indicating that YOLO-VSI has good generalization capabilities.
文摘Ensuring high product quality is of paramount importance in pharmaceutical drug manufacturing,as it is subject to rigorous regulatory practices.This study presents a research focused on the development of an on-line detection method and system for identifying surface defects in pharmaceutical products packaged in aluminum-plastic blisters.Firstly,the aluminum-plastic blister packages exhibit multi-scale features and inter-class indistinction.To address this,the deep semantic network with boundary refinement(DSN-BR)model is proposed,which leverages semantic segmentation domain knowledge,to accurately segment the defects in pixel level.Additionally,a specialized image acquisition module that minimizes the impact of ambient light is established,ensuring high-quality image capture.Finally,the image acquisition module,image detection module,and data management module are designed to construct a comprehensive online surface defect detection system.To validate the effectiveness of our approach,we employ a real dataset for instance verification on the implemented system.The experimental results substantiate the outstanding performance of the DSN-BR,achieving the mean intersection over union(MIoU)of 90.5%.Furthermore,the proposed system achieves an inference speed of up to 14.12 f/s,while attaining an F1-Score of 98.25%.These results demonstrate that the system meets the actual needs of the enterprise and provides theoretical and methodological support for intelligent inspection of product surface quality.By standardizing the control process of pharmaceutical manufacturing and improving the management capability of the manufacturing process,our approach holds significant market application prospects.

文摘Printed circuit boards(PCBs)provide stable connections between electronic components.However,defective printed circuit boards may cause the entire equipment system to malfunction,resulting in incalculable losses.Therefore,it is crucial to detect defective printed circuit boards during the generation process.Traditional detection methods have low accuracy in detecting subtle defects in complex background environments.In order to improve the detection accuracy of surface defects on industrial printed circuit boards,this paper proposes a residual large kernel network based on YOLOv5(You Only Look Once version 5)for PCBs surface defect detection,called YOLO-RLC(You Only Look Once-Residual Large Kernel).Build a deep large kernel backbone to expand the effective field of view,capture global informationmore efficiently,and use 1×1 convolutions to balance the depth of the model,improving feature extraction efficiency through reparameterization methods.The neck network introduces a bidirectional weighted feature fusion network,combined with a brand-new noise filter and feature enhancement extractor,to eliminate noise information generated by information fusion and recalibrate information from different channels to improve the quality of deep features.Simplify the aspect ratio of the bounding box to alleviate the issue of specificity values.After training and testing on the PCB defect dataset,our method achieved an average accuracy of 97.3%(mAP50)after multiple experiments,which is 4.1%higher than YOLOv5-S,with an average accuracy of 97.6%and an Frames Per Second of 76.7.The comparative analysis also proves the superior performance and feasibility of YOLO-RLC in PCB defect detection.
文摘Additive manufacturing(AM)has revolutionized the design and manufacturing of patient-specific,three-dimensional(3D),complex porous structures known as scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.The use of advanced image acquisition techniques,image processing,and computer-aided design methods has enabled the precise design and additive manufacturing of anatomically correct and patient-specific implants and scaffolds.However,these sophisticated techniques can be timeconsuming,labor-intensive,and expensive.Moreover,the necessary imaging and manufacturing equipment may not be readily available when urgent treatment is needed for trauma patients.In this study,a novel design and AM methods are proposed for the development of modular and customizable scaffold blocks that can be adapted to fit the bone defect area of a patient.These modular scaffold blocks can be combined to quickly form any patient-specific scaffold directly from two-dimensional(2D)medical images when the surgeon lacks access to a 3D printer or cannot wait for lengthy 3D imaging,modeling,and 3D printing during surgery.The proposed method begins with developing a bone surface-modeling algorithm that reconstructs a model of the patient’s bone from 2D medical image measurements without the need for expensive 3D medical imaging or segmentation.This algorithm can generate both patient-specific and average bone models.Additionally,a biomimetic continuous path planning method is developed for the additive manufacturing of scaffolds,allowing porous scaffold blocks with the desired biomechanical properties to be manufactured directly from 2D data or images.The algorithms are implemented,and the designed scaffold blocks are 3D printed using an extrusion-based AM process.Guidelines and instructions are also provided to assist surgeons in assembling scaffold blocks for the self-repair of patient-specific large bone defects.

文摘The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a widely accepted standard for parallel computing on distributed memorysystems.However, MPI implementations can contain defects that impact the reliability and performance of parallelapplications. Detecting and correcting these defects is crucial, yet there is a lack of published models specificallydesigned for correctingMPI defects. To address this, we propose a model for detecting and correcting MPI defects(DC_MPI), which aims to detect and correct defects in various types of MPI communication, including blockingpoint-to-point (BPTP), nonblocking point-to-point (NBPTP), and collective communication (CC). The defectsaddressed by the DC_MPI model include illegal MPI calls, deadlocks (DL), race conditions (RC), and messagemismatches (MM). To assess the effectiveness of the DC_MPI model, we performed experiments on a datasetconsisting of 40 MPI codes. The results indicate that the model achieved a detection rate of 37 out of 40 codes,resulting in an overall detection accuracy of 92.5%. Additionally, the execution duration of the DC_MPI modelranged from 0.81 to 1.36 s. These findings show that the DC_MPI model is useful in detecting and correctingdefects in MPI implementations, thereby enhancing the reliability and performance of parallel applications. TheDC_MPImodel fills an important research gap and provides a valuable tool for improving the quality ofMPI-basedparallel computing systems.
