A novel two-dimensional (2D) positioning method based on Raman distributed temperature sensing (RDTS) has been reported to dramatically improve positioning accuracy. Using a well-designed 2D distribution of optical fiber and corresponding algorithms, the heat source can be accurately located without crosstalk; however, there is a tradeoff between sensing distance and positioning accuracy. In our experiments, an RDTS system with a spatial resolution of 0.8 m along a 3 km multimode fiber (MMF) is used with specific 2D routing rules and corresponding algorithms. A positioning accuracy of about 0.1 m is obtained without hardware modification, which could be improved through the dense arrangement of fiber; however, this would sacrifice the sensing length. This solution can be used for both flat surfaces and curved surfaces such as pipes or tank surfaces. This scheme can also be extended to three-dimensional positioning using a delicate routing design of sensing fiber.

This article presents evidence of the convenience of implementing the geometric places of the plane into commercial computer-aided design (CAD) software as auxiliary tools in the computer-aided sketching process. Additionally, the research considers the possibility of adding several intuitive spatial geometric places to improve the efficiency of the three-dimensional geometric design. For demonstrative purposes, four examples are presented. A two-dimensional figure positioned on the flat face of an object shows the significant improvement over tools currently available in commercial CAD software, both vector and parametric: it is more intuitive and does not require the designer to execute as many operations. Two more complex three-dimensional examples are presented to show how the use of spatial geometric places, implemented as CAD software functions, would be an effective and highly intuitive tool. Using these functions produces auxiliary curved surfaces with points whose notable features are a significant innovation. A final example provided solves a geometric place problem using own software designed for this purpose. The proposal to incorporate geometric places into CAD software would lead to a significant improvement in the field of computational geometry. Consequently, the incorporation of geometric places into CAD software could increase technical-design productivity by eliminating some intermediate operations, such as symmetry, among others, and improving the geometry training of less skilled users.

Two-dimensional (2D), supramolecular self-assembly at surfaces is now well-mastered with several existing examples. However, one remaining challenge to enable future applications in nanoscience is to provide potential functionalities to the physisorbed adlayer. This work reviews a recently developed strategy that addresses this key issue by taking advantage of a new concept, Janus tecton materials. This is a versatile, molecular platform based on the design of three-dimensional (3D) building blocks consisting of two faces linked by a cyclophane-type pillar. One face is designed to steer 2D self-assembly onto C(sp2)-carbon-based flat surfaces, the other allowing for the desired functionality above the substrate with a well-controlled lateral order. In this way, it is possible to simultaneously obtain a regular, non-covalent paving as well as supramolecular functionalization of graphene, thus opening interesting perspectives for nanoscience applications.

This paper presents a three-dimensional numerical elasto-plastic model for the contact of nominally flat surfaces based on the periodic expandability of surface topography. This model is built on two algorithms: the continuous convolution and Fourier transform (CC-FT) and discrete convolution and fast Fourier transform (DC-FFT), modified with duplicated padding. This model considers the effect of asperity interactions and gives a detailed description of subsurface stress and strain fields caused by the contact of elasto-plastic solids with rough surfaces. Formulas of the frequency response functions (FRF) for elastic/plastic stresses and residual displacement are given in this paper. The model is verified by comparing the numerical results to several analytical solutions. The model is utilized to simulate the contacts involving a two-dimensional wavy surface and an engineering rough surface in order to examine its capability of evaluating the elasto-plastic contact behaviors of nominally flat surfaces.

Spatial resolution is an important parameter that characterizes the detection capability of a system, and there are extremely high requirements for spatial resolution in important fields such as the fossil energy industry and nuclear industry. In order to realize the high-precision distributed monitoring of the optical fiber distributed temperature sensing system (DTS), the factors affecting the spatial resolution of the DTS system were analyzed, and a two-dimensional planar temperature field distribution monitoring scheme based on Raman distributed temperature sensor (RDTS) was proposed. In this scheme, based on the layout of the two-dimensional RDTS heat source positioning system, multimode fiber was adopted. After comparing several sensing fiber routing schemes, the 45∘ skew 2D wiring method of sensing fiber was finally selected. According to the experimental results, the spatial resolution of the temperature field distribution in the monitoring area can break through the limitation of the system resolution. It has more application value than the traditional one-dimensional distributed temperature sensing system.

At micro/nanoscale, the interaction potential between parabolic rotator and a particle located outside the rotator is studied on the basis of the negative exponential pair potential1/Rnbetween particles. Similar to two-dimensional curved surfaces, we confirm that the potential of the three-dimensional parabolic rotator and outside particle can also be expressed as a unified form of curvatures; that is, it can be written as the function of curvatures. Furthermore, we verify that the driving forces acting on the particle may be induced by the highly curved micro/nano-parabolic rotator. Curvatures and the gradient of curvatures are the essential elements forming the driving forces. Through the idealized numerical experiments, the accuracy of the curvature-based potential is preliminarily proved.

The aim of this article is to solve the problem that the accuracy of traditional positioning algorithm decreases in complex environment and to provide some ideas for the few researches of fingerprint localization algorithm in three-dimensional space. This paper builds a system model in a three-dimensional space, provides three reference point distribution methods, and discusses the positioning performance under these distribution methods. After that, based on the high base station deployment density, multi-point fusion positioning method is used to locate the target, which further improves the positioning accuracy and makes more effective use of reference point resources. Finally, a backward-assisted positioning method is proposed, which uses the position information of the positioned points to assist the positioning of the current point. Research shows that this method can improve the positioning accuracy and has good versatility.

Accurate vehicle localization technologies are significant for current onboard navigation systems and future autonomous vehicles. More specifically, positioning accuracy is expected at the submeter level. This paper presents an accurate vehicle self-localization system and evaluates the proposed system in different classes of urban environments. The developed system adopts an innovative global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning method as the key technique. The GNSS positioning method can improve the positioning error by reducing the effects of multipath interference and non-line-of-sight errors with the aid of a three-dimensional map. To improve positioning accuracy further, the vehicle localization system integrates the GNSS positioning technique with inertial sensors and vision sensors by considering the characteristics of each sensor. The inertial sensors represent vehicle movement with heading direction and vehicle speed. The vision sensor is used to recognize the position change relative to lane markings on the road surface. Those techniques and sensors collaborate to provide an accurate position in the global coordinate system. To verify the effectiveness and stability of the proposed system, a series of tests was conducted in one of the most challenging urban cities, Tokyo. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed system can achieve submeter accuracy for the positioning error mean and has a 90% correct lane rate in the localization.

Linear tetrahedral elements with four nodes (Te4) are currently the simplest and most widely used ones in the finite element (FE) developed for solving three-dimensional (3D) mechanics problems. However, the standard Te4 element cannot be used to simulate accurately the 3D problems with curved boundaries because of the flat surfaces. In this paper, we develop a set of new elements having curved surfaces to properly simulate the curved boundaries. At the same time, additional nodes are put on the curved boundaries to improve the accuracy of the approximation. These novel elements are defined as five-noded, six-noded, and seven-noded tetrahedron elements (Te5, Te6, and Te7) according to the number of the nodes in one element. Based on the Te4 FE mesh, a hybrid mesh can be conveniently built for 3D problems with curved boundaries, in which the standard Te4 elements are used for the interior elements, and Te5, Te6, and Te7 elements are used for the curved boundary elements. Compared with the standard FEM using Te4 elements, our hybrid mesh can significantly improve the accuracy of the solutions at the curved boundaries. Several solid mechanics problems are studied using the hybrid meshes to validate the effectiveness of the present new elements.
