Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has been found to play suboptimally in some tactical domains due to its highly selective search, focusing only on the most promising moves. In order to combine the strategic strength of MCTS and the tactical strength of minimax, MCTSminimax hybrids have been introduced, embedding shallow minimax searches into the MCTS framework. Their results have been promising e...

Based on the theory of peridynamics, least squares and moving method are proposed to fit physical information at nondiscrete points. It makes up for shortcomings peridynamic that only solves discrete nodes cannot obtain other blank areas. The extended is used one-way vibration problem rod, curve displacement a node in rod extracted with time. fitted results compared theoretical verify feasibili...

This work proposes a simple but robust 4-node 24-DOF facet shell element for static analysis of small-scale thin structures. To accommodate the size effects, modified couple stress theory is employed as theoretical basis. The constructed via two main innovations. First, trial functions that can priori satisfy related governing differential equations are adopted basic formulating interpolations....

Underground displacement monitoring is an effective method to explore deep into rock and soil masses for execution of subsurface displacement measurements. It is not only an important means of geological hazards prediction and forecasting, but also a forefront, hot and sophisticated subject in current geological disaster monitoring. In previous research, the authors had designed a novel electro...

This paper presents a new scheme of strain-constructed point interpolation method (SC-PIM) for static, free and forced vibration analysis of solids and structures using triangular cells. In the present scheme, displacement fields are assumed using shape functions created via the point interpolation method (PIM), which possess the Kronecker delta property facilitating the straightforward enforce...

In this paper, the development of a large-displacement large-strain 3-D finite element model of the vocal fold is reported. A fold is discretized into 720 8-node brick elements with a total of 1001 nodes and 3003 displacement degrees of freedom. The structure has realistic dimensions and geometry. The model includes geometric and material nonlinearities. The geometric nonlinearity appears in th...

We first introduce a generic model for discrete cost multicommodity network optimization, together with several variants relevant to telecommunication networks such as: the case where discrete node cost functions (accounting for switching equipment) have to be included in the objective; the case where survivability constraints with respect to single-link and/or single-node failure have to be ta...

This paper describes the proposed system, which could help user to understand basic knowledge of Internet Things (IoT) for education purposes. The method has been developed using an all-in-one package trainer IoT, consisting several parts, i.e., node sensor, web-based application, master, and output module. Therefore, three main functions IoT: monitoring, data logging, control functions. Moreov...

The present work is aimed at analyzing the thermoelastic disturbances in a circular plate of finite thickness and infinite extent subjected to constant initial temperature and axisymmetric heat supply. Integral transform technique is used. Analytic solutions for temperature, displacement and stresses are derived within the context of unified system of equations in generalized thermoelasticity i...
