Metallurgical cranes have a high risk of structural fatigue damage and failure under complex working conditions such as high temperature, heavy load, and strong electromagnetic interference. This article proposes a data-driven structural fatigue damage health monitoring system. This system integrates fiber Bragg grating sensing technology, rigid flexible coupling multi-body dynamics simulation, and big data analysis methods to construct a sensor optimization layout strategy based on rigid flexible coupling virtual prototype simulation, achieving real-time perception of stress states in key parts such as the mid span and end beam corners of the main beam. Develop a visualization system that integrates health monitoring, damage diagnosis, and life prediction. This system can dynamically evaluate the structural health status of metallurgical cranes and predict the remaining life of the structure based on a nonlinear cumulative damage model. On site engineering applications have shown that the monitoring and prediction visualization system can effectively improve the intelligent and safe operation and maintenance level of metallurgical cranes, providing a data foundation and possibility for their predictive maintenance.
Aircraft assembly systems, as a critical phase in aerospace manufacturing, face significant challenges in maintaining production efficiency and ensuring product quality. This complex manufacturing system exhibits two distinct characteristics: (1) tightly coupled interactions among manufacturing elements involving process sequences, material flows, and equipment utilization; and (2) dynamic resource allocation and material distribution plans. The inherent variability in production element configurations often leads to operational instability and schedule deviations, which may result in abnormal production states. To address these challenges, this study proposes a data-driven predictive framework that integrates Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks with multi-criteria evaluation. The developed LSTM-based model effectively forecasts two critical production indicators of cycle time and balance rate, achieving temporal prediction through historical operational data analysis. The proposed methodology facilitates timely anomaly detection and early warning, allowing proactive risk mitigation and ensuring sustained production system stability. This research contributes to advancing intelligent monitoring and control strategies for aircraft assembly operations within data-driven manufacturing environments.

By activating the real-time correlation between 3D models and data models, valuable data exchange can be achieved between the digital twin entity and the physical entity, and valuable data can be used to drive both to refresh their operating status.
Rocket projectiles are a type of ammunition that get their power from rocket engines. Long-range guided rockets, in particular, hold great significance as they seem to mark the way forward in modern warfare. These guided projectiles take full advantage of the considerable range that long-range rockets offer and, at the same time, manage to achieve improved accuracy. This paper delves into a model that is used for predicting the impact point of rocket projectiles, with the application of the proportional navigation guidance law. It also undertakes an analysis of both the strengths and the weaknesses of this model. Through the formulation of equations related to the dynamics of the center of mass and some other supplementary equations, a rather comprehensive trajectory equation was worked out. When this trajectory was simulated, it brought about the creation of a firing table, which is of help in predicting the initial trajectory inclination angle.
Accurate prediction of ground settlement induced by rectangular pipe jacking, a prevalent trenchless technology in urban infrastructure development, remains a significant challenge. This study addresses this by developing and evaluating a robust machine learning (ML) framework. Leveraging 104 sets of field monitoring data from the Liuye Avenue West Extension rectangular pipe jacking project in Hunan, China, key construction parameters including jacking force, advance rate, and grouting pressure were utilized as inputs to predict ground settlement. A Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm was integrated for automated hyperparameter tuning of six distinct ML models: standalone Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM), Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), Random Forest (RF), and their respective PSO-optimized counterparts. Comprehensive performance evaluation using Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Coefficient of Determination (R^2) revealed that the PSO-LSSVM hybrid model achieved superior predictive accuracy and generalization capability. Specifically, on the test dataset, the PSO-LSSVM model yielded an MSE of 0.367, MAE of 0.424, and an R^2 of 0.941. These findings demonstrate that the proposed PSO-enhanced LSSVM model significantly outperforms baseline models, offering a highly effective and reliable tool for predicting ground deformation in similar complex pipe jacking projects.
This paper solves the problem of resource and energy constraints on orbit computing for LEO satellites. By combining MADDPG reinforcement learning and Lyapunov optimization, the paper proposes a computing framework and implements an adaptive task offloading model for space flight using a multi-agent deep actor critic algorithm, MADDPG. The joint optimization mechanism is implemented by multi-agent dynamic task offloading. Through the transformation from the state with long-term constraints into optimization of the status of queue stability, the load scheduling under threshold energy in accordance with the characteristics of energy constraints was realized by introducing Lyapunov virtual queues into the process of policy evaluation of deep reinforcement learning. The experimental results show that the proposed framework enables a lightweight preliminary calculation, balanced energy consumption to reduce resource allocation, and realizes the stable queues through adaptability of tasks under energy balance conditions, which can provide high-efficiency computing assistance and support for space orbit tasks such as monitoring remote sensing of Earth.
Terminal guidance is critical for ensuring strike precision in the final phase of flight. However, traditional methods, such as proportional navigation and optimal guidance laws, face significant challenges regarding real-time performance and adaptability to dynamic targets. To address these issues, neural networks offer a promising solution by enabling adaptive adjustments to guidance parameters, thereby improving performance under various constraints.
Efficient optimization of aerodynamic shapes is a critical challenge in aircraft design. Traditional CFD-based optimization workflows suffer from high computational costs and low efficiency, which severely restricts their practical engineering application. In this paper, a novel aerodynamic optimization method based on a hierarchical neural network with adaptive activation functions is proposed. The network adopts learnable B-spline activation functions and is hierarchically constructed in accordance with the sharing status of B-spline control points. After being trained to achieve fast and accurate prediction of aerodynamic performance, the network can effectively replace the traditional CFD module in the optimization loop. The primary advantage of the proposed method is that it significantly reduces the computational cost during the optimization process while ensuring that the prediction accuracy is not compromised. This work thereby presents a novel strategy and technical framework for streamlining the design process of hypersonic vehicles.
