To accurately evaluate the durability of reinforced concrete girder bridges, a durability evaluation model was developed based on the matter element extension theory, entropy weight method, and unascertained measure theory. A total of seven indicators were selected for durability evaluation: the concrete presumed strength uniformity coefficient, reinforcement corrosion potential level, chloride ion content, average value of concrete relative carbonation depth, crack width, resistivity, and characteristic value of the reinforcement protective layer thickness. The weights of the durability evaluation indices were assigned using matter element extension combined with the entropy weight method, and the multi-indicator comprehensive evaluation vector was obtained by combining the single-indicator measurement matrix. The evaluation results were analyzed by applying the confidence criterion. The results showed that the evaluation results of this model matched with the actual conditions of the girder bridges, which indicates that this durability evaluation model has good applicability and is reasonable. Finally, a comparative study proved that the model could accurately evaluate the bridge durability.

Environment Sustainability

In order to evaluate the atmospheric environment sustainability in the provinces of Northeast China, this paper has constructed a comprehensive evaluation model based on the rough set and entropy weight methods. This paper first constructs a Pressure-State-Response (PSR) model with a pressure layer, state layer and response layer, as well as an atmospheric environment evaluation system consisting of 17 indicators. Then, this paper obtains the weight of different indicators by using the rough set method and conducts equal-width discrete analysis and clustering analysis by using SPSS software. This paper has found that different discrete methods will end up with different reduction sets and multiple indicators sharing the same weight. Therefore, this paper has further introduced the entropy weight method based on the weight solution determined by rough sets and solved the attribute reduction sets of different layers by using the Rosetta software. Finally, this paper has further proved the rationality of this evaluation model for atmospheric environment sustainability by comparing the results with those of the entropy weight method alone and those of the rough set method alone. The results show that the sustainability level of the atmospheric environment in Northeast China provinces has first improved, and then worsened, with the atmospheric environment sustainability level reaching the highest level of 0.9275 in 2014, while dropping to the lowest level of 0.6027 in 2017. Therefore, future efforts should focus on reducing the pressure layer and expanding the response layer. Based on analysis of the above evaluation results, this paper has further offered recommendations and solutions for the improvement of atmospheric environment sustainability in the three provinces of Northeast China.

Brittleness And Ductility

Summary In this paper, we introduce the entropy weight method (EWM) to establish a comprehensive evaluation model able to quantify the brittleness of reservoir rocks. Based on the evaluation model and using the adaptive finite element-discrete element (FE-DE) method, a 3D model is established to simulate and compare the propagation behavior of hydraulic fractures in different brittle and ductile reservoirs. A failure criterion combining the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion and the Rankine tensile criterion is used to characterize the softening and yielding behavior of the fracture tip and the shear plastic failure behavior away from the crack tip during the propagation of a fracture. To understand the effects of rock brittleness and ductility on hydraulic fracture propagation more intuitively, two groups of ideal cases with a single failure mode are designed, and the fracture propagation characteristics are compared and analyzed. By combining natural rock core scenarios with single failure mode cases, a comprehensive evaluation index BIf for reservoir brittleness and ductility is constructed. The simulation experiment results indicate that fractures in brittle reservoirs tended to form a complex network. With enhanced ductility, the yielding and softening of reservoirs hamper fracture propagation, leading to the formation of a simple network, smaller fracture area (FA), larger fracture volume, and the need for higher initiation pressure. The comprehensive index BIf can be used to define brittleness or ductility as the dominant factor of fracturing behavior. That is, 0 < BIf ≤ 0.46 indicates that the reservoir has enhanced ductility and ductile fracturing prevails; 0.72 < BIf < 1 indicates that the reservoir has enhanced brittleness and brittle fracturing prevails; and 0.46 < BIf ≤ 0.72 means a transition from brittle to ductile fracturing. Based on fitting analysis results, the relationship between the calculated FAr and BIf is constructed to quantify the influence of reservoir brittleness and ductility on fracturing. The study provides new perspectives for designing, predicting, and optimizing the fracturing stimulation of tight reservoirs with various brittleness and ductility.

Abstract Partial destructive disassembly (PDD) is essential for end-of-life products to improve their automatic disassembly efficiency and reduce disassembly cost. A feasibility evaluation of the PDD is the key step to evaluate whether the PDD can be implemented. However, it has not been studied previously to our knowledge. To deal with this problem, a multi-granularity feasibility evaluation method is proposed. A multi-granularity feasibility evaluation model of the PDD was constructed based on the complex product’s hierarchical structure, which not only described the evaluation indices from the product level to the component level but also presented methods and rules to quantify them. 1Thus, disassembly entropy was introduced into the target group’s coarse granularity evaluation. The feasibility of the fine-grained index of the PDD for the component layer was constructed based on the product’s failure characteristic. The fine-grained index was calculated by the fuzzy trigonometric function and its weighting was obtained based on the structure entropy weight method. Thus, the results of the evaluation were used as feedback to guide the PDD process. Finally, a Passat engine case study illustrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the method.
