This paper proposes an effective and reliable approach for the optimal design of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) control in circular cylinders. The slow invariant manifold (SIM) of the coupled cylinder-NESI system is first derived by integrating the Complexification-Averaging (CX-A) technique with the multiscale method. The analysis reveals that the system's motion along the SIM reflects the variation in the steady-state maximum oscillation amplitude of the circular cylinder over a complete oscillation cycle. To determine the local maxima on the SIM, the equilibrium point equations are introduced as constraints, thereby formulating an optimization problem for the coupled cylinder-NESI system. An analytical expression for the optimal stiffness ratio is then derived through the introduction of Lagrange multipliers. The influences of the mass ratio, inerter-to-mass ratio, and relative damping ratio on the predicted results obtained from this analytical expression are subsequently investigated. The results indicate that, within the considered parameter ranges, a smaller mass ratio, combined with moderate inerter-to-mass and relative damping ratios, enables the analytically designed NESI to achieve superior suppression performance on the VIV amplitude of the circular cylinder. The main innovation of this work is the development of a concise and robust analytical method for parameter optimization in the coupled fluid-cylinder-NESI system. Compared with conventional numerical optimization or extensive parametric sensitivity analysis, the proposed method substantially reduces computational cost, thereby improving the efficiency and practicality of the design process.
本文提出了一种有效、可靠的圆柱涡激振动控制优化设计方法。首先将复化平均(CX-A)技术与多尺度方法相结合,导出了圆柱- nesi耦合系统的慢不变流形(SIM)。分析表明,系统沿轴的运动反映了圆柱在一个完整振荡周期内稳态最大振荡幅值的变化。为了确定系统的局部极值,引入平衡点方程作为约束,形成了圆柱- nesi耦合系统的优化问题。通过引入拉格朗日乘子,导出了最佳刚度比的解析表达式。随后研究了质量比、质差比和相对阻尼比对该解析表达式预测结果的影响。结果表明,在考虑的参数范围内,较小的质量比、适度的质量比和相对阻尼比使解析设计的NESI对圆柱的涡激振幅有较好的抑制效果。本工作的主要创新是开发了一种简洁、鲁棒的流体-缸- nesi耦合系统参数优化分析方法。与传统的数值优化或广泛的参数敏感性分析相比,该方法大大降低了计算成本,从而提高了设计过程的效率和实用性。

Love waves are a type of horizontally polarized surface waves formed by multiple reflections within surface layers. Love waves can be highly destructive within their affected zone. Fortunately, the development of metamaterials offers a new possibility to address this issue. In this study, we propose an analytical formulation based on both multiple scattering theory and unsaturated soil model with the aim of achieving the following three objectives: (i) Modeling the propagation of Love waves in a layered unsaturated half-space under a metasurface consisting of N resonators. (ii) Revealing the mitigation mechanism of resonators and their coupling mechanism with the unsaturated soil. (iii) Generalizing the analytical formulation so that it can be applied to single-phase, saturated and unsaturated soils. In this formulation, the total wavefield consists of the incident wavefield generated by an external source and the scattered wavefield generated by the resonators. The incident wavefield is calculated based on a Green's function obtained from boundary conditions and integral transformations. The scattered wavefield is calculated by combining the Green's function with the inertial force generated by the resonators. The analytical formulation is not restricted by the mechanical and geometric properties of the resonator. We expect that this analytical formulation could provide a deep understanding and conceptual design for mitigating Love waves in unsaturated soils.
爱波是一种水平极化的表面波,由表层内的多次反射形成。爱情波在其影响范围内具有高度破坏性。幸运的是,超材料的发展为解决这个问题提供了一种新的可能性。在这项研究中,我们提出了一个基于多重散射理论和非饱和土壤模型的解析公式,旨在实现以下三个目标:(i)在由N个谐振器组成的超表面下的层状非饱和半空间中模拟Love波的传播。(二)揭示共振器的减缓机制及其与非饱和土的耦合机制。(三)推广分析公式,使其适用于单相、饱和和非饱和土壤。在该公式中,总波场由外源产生的入射波场和谐振器产生的散射波场组成。根据边界条件和积分变换得到的格林函数计算入射波场。将格林函数与谐振器产生的惯性力相结合,计算了散射波场。解析公式不受谐振器的力学和几何特性的限制。我们期望这一分析公式能够为缓和非饱和土壤中的Love波提供深刻的理解和概念设计。

Development and optimization of a novel pin-loaded CFRP strap: A hybrid experimental-numerical approach 一种新型引脚加载CFRP带的开发与优化:实验-数值混合方法

Self-anchored carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strap cables eliminate bulky metallic anchorages, yet stress concentrations within the curved anchorage zone continue to limit their load-carrying efficiency. This study integrates experimental testing, finite element (FE) simulations, and analytical modeling, aiming to address this limitation through strap geometry optimization and interfacial behavior characterization. Static tensile tests were first performed on straps with wedge angles of 27°, 29°, and 33°. The results showed that reducing the wedge angle significantly improves load capacity, with the 27° strap achieving the highest average fracture stress above 2000 MPa. These experiments were then used to validate a three-dimensional FE model, which subsequently enabled a systematic parametric analysis across wedge angles, strap layers, and interface friction coefficients. The FE-generated database was employed to evaluate the predictive accuracy of an existing orthotropic thick-walled ring formulation. By introducing a correction factor that explicitly accounts for wedge angle and interfacial friction, the model was extended to reproduce load capacities with an error less than 3 % and to capture clear parametric trends. This modified closed-form formulation provides the first friction-sensitive design tool for CFRP straps, offering practical guidance for efficient lightweight cable systems in long-span structures.
自锚碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRP)带状电缆消除了笨重的金属锚固,但弯曲锚固区内的应力集中继续限制其承载效率。本研究将实验测试、有限元(FE)模拟和分析建模相结合,旨在通过条带几何优化和界面行为表征来解决这一限制。首先对楔形角为27°、29°和33°的绑带进行静态拉伸试验。结果表明,减小楔角可显著提高承载能力,27°带的平均断裂应力在2000 MPa以上达到最高;这些实验随后用于验证三维有限元模型,该模型随后能够进行系统的参数分析,包括楔角、带层和界面摩擦系数。利用有限元生成的数据库对现有正交各向异性厚壁环公式的预测精度进行了评价。通过引入一个明确考虑楔形角和界面摩擦的修正因子,该模型被扩展到以小于3 %的误差再现载荷能力,并捕获清晰的参数趋势。这种改进的封闭形式公式为CFRP带提供了第一个摩擦敏感设计工具,为大跨度结构中高效的轻质索系统提供了实用指导。

Based on the design concept of high energy dissipation and replaceability, as well as the specific characteristics of underground structures, such as difficulties and uncertainties in excavation, a dual stage energy dissipation joint for connection concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) column-exterior wide-flat beam joint was proposed in this paper. Three types of joints were designed and manufactured. Specifically, typical CFST column-exterior wide-flat beam joint (abbreviated as typical joint, TJ), frictional energy dissipation CFST column-exterior wide-flat beam joint (abbreviated as frictional energy dissipation joint, FEDJ), and dual stage energy dissipation CFST column-exterior wide-flat beam joint (abbreviated as dual stage energy dissipation joint, DEDJ). Then, quasi-static seismic performance tests and finite element analyses were conducted to these three joints. After that, the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was used to assess the seismic performance of different types of joints. The results indicated that the DEDJ exhibited frictional and rotational energy dissipation characteristics under service level earthquakes, while demonstrating plastic deformation energy dissipation through metal components during design basis and maximal considered earthquakes. TJ showed bending failure at beam ends, whereas failure in DEDJ was concentrated in steel energy dissipation components. FDEJ remained undamaged throughout the test. TJ demonstrated high bearing capacity but suffered from poor ductility, rapid strength/stiffness degradation, and limited energy dissipation capacity. FDEJ maintained stable strength/stiffness with good ductility, though constrained by low bearing capacity and insufficient energy dissipation capability. DEDJ not only achieved the designed bearing capacity target but also synergistically combined advantages from both TJ and FDEJ, exhibiting superior ductility, effective energy dissipation, and slower strength and stiffness degradation compared to TJ. The assessment result of the TOPSIS method showed that the comprehensive performance of the DEDJ was better than that of TJ and FEDJ. the bearing capacity and energy dissipation capability of DEDJ may be compromised when the axial compression ratio increased to 0.5 and the end-to-center ratio of low-yield-point steel reached 1.82.
基于高耗能和可替代性的设计理念,结合地下结构开挖困难和不确定性等特点,提出了钢管混凝土柱-外宽扁梁连接节点的双级消能节点。设计并制造了三种类型的关节。具体分为典型CFST柱-外宽扁梁节点(简称典型节点,TJ)、摩擦耗能CFST柱-外宽扁梁节点(简称摩擦耗能节点,FEDJ)和双级耗能CFST柱-外宽扁梁节点(简称双级耗能节点,DEDJ)。然后对这三个节点进行了拟静力抗震性能试验和有限元分析。在此基础上,采用TOPSIS法对不同类型节点的抗震性能进行了评价。结果表明,DEDJ在服务级地震下表现出摩擦和旋转耗能特征,而在设计基础和最大考虑地震时表现出金属构件的塑性变形耗能特征。TJ在梁端表现出弯曲破坏,而DEDJ的破坏集中在钢耗能构件上。FDEJ在整个测试过程中保持完好无损。TJ具有较高的承载能力,但延性差,强度/刚度退化快,耗能能力有限。FDEJ的承载力较低,耗能能力不足,但强度刚度稳定,延性好。DEDJ不仅达到了设计的承载目标,而且将TJ和FDEJ的优势协同结合,具有较TJ更好的延性、有效的耗能、较慢的强度和刚度退化。TOPSIS法评价结果表明,DEDJ的综合性能优于TJ和FEDJ。当轴压比增加到0.5,低屈服点钢的端心比达到1.82时,DEDJ的承载能力和耗能能力会受到影响。

Rockfall impacting bridge accidents are characterized by strong randomness, complex dynamic processes, and severe disaster consequences. Taking actual accident of bridge damaged by rockfall impact as research prototype, an intrusion detection algorithm of fallen rocks intruding into bridge clearance limits is developed. Additionally, a coupled rockfall-bridge damage assessment method integrating trajectory simulation and intrusion detection algorithm is proposed. The irrationality of traditional rockfall impact on bridge analysis has been addressed by establishing an integrated analysis framework which includes rockfall motion simulation, intrusion detection algorithm and bridge dynamic analysis. The major work is as follows: (1) The three-dimensional rockfall trajectory simulation determines the range and stagnation point of fallen rocks, effectively revealing distribution of threats to bridge structure and accurately locating high-risk impact zones; (2) The detection algorithm of fallen rocks intruding into bridge clearance limits enables the determination of collisions risk, the localization of impact locations and the extraction of impact parameters; (3) A high-fidelity finite element model is established to replicate bridge plastic damage and conduct residual performance assessment. The rationality and accuracy of the proposed framework are validated by comparing with actual accident. The proposed analysis framework can provide a scientific tool for transportation route selection, bridge structural protection, as well as disaster risk assessment.

To efficiently and accurately capture the hysteretic behavior of structural components, this study proposed the data-driven surrogate modeling method that combines mechanical principles and the improved Transformer architecture, offering an alternative to traditional experimental and simulation approaches. First, to address key challenges in hysteresis identification, including complex nonlinearity, long-sequence inputs, and exposure bias, the standard Transformer architecture was improved. ProbSparse Self-Attention and distillation operation were introduced to enhance training efficiency and prediction performance for long-sequence inputs, while the two-stage training strategy was adopted to mitigate exposure bias during the hysteretic response prediction. Given the scarcity of hysteresis data, this study selected easily replaceable column-foundation connection specimens and established the systematic hysteresis database by combining loading experiments with numerical simulations. Subsequently, based on the improved Transformer model, the hysteretic surrogate model for the identical component was established. The model was validated using the hysteresis dataset of column-foundation connection, with R² values reaching 0.99, demonstrating its ability to accurately predict hysteretic responses under various displacement excitations. Furthermore, by considering the effects of intrinsic component features through mechanical analysis and integrating the improved Transformer model, the hysteresis surrogate model applicable to similar components was established. Case studies demonstrated that the model could accurately predict hysteresis behavior of components with varying intrinsic detailing features under different external displacement excitations. Finally, to facilitate practical application, a new material model capable of embedding the trained surrogate models was developed on the OpenSees platform.
为了高效、准确地捕捉结构构件的滞回行为,本研究提出了一种数据驱动的替代建模方法,该方法结合了力学原理和改进的Transformer架构,为传统的实验和仿真方法提供了一种替代方法。首先,为了解决迟滞识别中的关键挑战,包括复杂非线性、长序列输入和暴露偏置,对标准Transformer架构进行了改进。为了提高长序列输入的训练效率和预测性能,引入了ProbSparse Self-Attention和distillation操作,并采用了两阶段训练策略来减轻滞后响应预测过程中的暴露偏差。考虑到滞回数据的稀缺性,本研究选择了易于替换的柱-基础连接试件,采用加载试验与数值模拟相结合的方法建立了系统的滞回数据库。随后,基于改进的Transformer模型,建立了同一部件的滞后替代模型。利用柱-基础连接滞回数据集对模型进行验证,R²值达到0.99,表明该模型能够准确预测各种位移激励下的滞回响应。在此基础上,通过力学分析,考虑构件固有特性的影响,结合改进的Transformer模型,建立了适用于同类构件的滞回替代模型。实例研究表明,该模型能够准确预测具有不同内在细节特征的构件在不同外力位移激励下的滞回行为。最后,为了便于实际应用,在OpenSees平台上开发了一个能够嵌入经过训练的代理模型的新材料模型。

Finally, to facilitate practical application, a new material model capable of embedding the trained surrogate models was developed on the OpenSees platform.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11763,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Structures","volume":"353 ","pages":"Article 122245"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146075460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate and efficient evaluation of post-welding mechanical properties in high strength steel cruciform joints is critical for structural safety but remains challenging due to spatial heterogeneity induced by welding thermal effects. To address this, this study combines systematic experiments with machine learning methods. Monotonic tensile tests are performed on 326 specimens extracted from critical zones of Q550GJC thick-plate cruciform joints with two distinct geometries to obtain heat-affected mechanical indices. Based on the model benchmarking results, a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) model is proposed using Manhattan distances from specimen centers to weld seams as input features. Employing strategies including label logarithmic transformation and dynamic learning rate adjustment, and rigorously validated through spatially clustered 6-fold cross-validation, the model achieves accurate predictions of yield strength and ultimate strength with R² exceeding 0.86. Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) analysis shows that a small set of key weld passes, concentrated in the core region with pronounced cumulative heat input and in late-stage welding passes, contribute more than 50 % to the predicted mechanical properties. Following identification of applicability domain between the new dataset and the training set using Mahalanobis distance, the model is applied to predict mechanical properties across the entire critical zone. This study supplements the experimental database for Q550GJC welded joints, integrated with a data-driven paradigm, and provides insights for optimizing high strength steel welding processes.
准确、高效地评估高强度钢十字形接头的焊后力学性能对结构安全至关重要,但由于焊接热效应引起的空间非均质性,仍然具有挑战性。为了解决这个问题,本研究将系统实验与机器学习方法相结合。对Q550GJC两种不同几何形状厚板十字形节点临界区域抽取的326个试件进行了单调拉伸试验,获得了热影响力学指标。基于模型基准测试结果,提出了一种多层感知器(MLP)模型,该模型以试样中心到焊缝的曼哈顿距离为输入特征。该模型采用标签对数变换和动态学习率调整等策略,通过空间聚类6重交叉验证进行了严格验证,得到了屈服强度和极限强度的准确预测,R²大于0.86。Shapley加性解释(SHAP)分析表明,集中在累积热输入明显的核心区域和后期焊道的一小组关键焊道对预测力学性能的贡献超过50% %。在使用马氏距离识别新数据集和训练集之间的适用范围之后,该模型被应用于预测整个关键区域的机械性能。本研究补充了Q550GJC焊接接头实验数据库,并结合数据驱动范式,为优化高强度钢焊接工艺提供了见解。

A novel prefabricated F3T-shaped thin concrete-encased steel column (F3T-TCES) was proposed to address corrosion, fire resistance, and local buckling in special-shaped steel columns. Axial compression tests were performed on nine F3T-TCES columns to investigate the effects of six stirrup configurations. All specimens exhibited strength failure modes. Type E and Type F stirrup could effectively limit crack propagation and delay crack development. The material utilization coefficients of all specimens are greater than 1.0, demonstrating full utilization of material strengths. Type F stirrup required no on-site welding and provided the highest construction efficiency, and is therefore recommended. A refined finite-element model was established in ABAQUS and validated against the test results. Parametric studies reveals that increasing web thickness is more effective in enhancing the peak load than increasing flange thickness. The combination of Q355 steel with C30 to C50 concrete ensures stable axial compressive behavior and high material utilization coefficients. Stirrup spacing had a slight effect on the axial resistance, and 100 mm spacing is recommended. Increasing the steel flange concrete cover from 45 mm to 70 mm significantly reduces concrete cracking. Peak resistance and design resistance formulas considering the confined concrete strength enhancement coefficient k were proposed and validated. A database containing 962 samples was established, and five different machine learning models were trained to predict the peak resistance and initial stiffness. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model achieved the highest accuracy and is recommended for engineering prediction.
提出了一种新型预制f3t型薄混凝土包覆钢柱(F3T-TCES),以解决异形钢柱的腐蚀、防火和局部屈曲问题。对9根F3T-TCES柱进行了轴压试验,研究了6种箍筋配置对柱的影响。所有试件均表现出强度破坏模式。E型和F型箍筋能有效地限制裂纹扩展,延缓裂纹发展。所有试件的材料利用系数均大于1.0,充分利用了材料强度。F型箍筋不需要现场焊接,提供最高的施工效率,因此推荐使用。在ABAQUS中建立了精细化有限元模型,并与试验结果进行了验证。参数化研究表明,增加腹板厚度比增加翼缘厚度更能有效地提高峰值荷载。Q355钢与C30至C50混凝土的组合保证了稳定的轴压性能和高的材料利用系数。马镫间距对轴向阻力影响较小,建议间距为100 mm。将钢法兰混凝土盖板由45 mm增加到70 mm,可显著减少混凝土开裂。提出并验证了考虑约束混凝土强度增强系数k的峰值阻力和设计阻力公式。建立了包含962个样本的数据库,并训练了五种不同的机器学习模型来预测峰值阻力和初始刚度。极端梯度增强(XGBoost)模型达到了最高的精度,被推荐用于工程预测。

Temporal sequencing analysis of vortex-induced vibration in a 10:1 rectangular section 10:1矩形截面涡激振动的时序分析

The vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a rectangular section is significantly influenced by the aspect ratio. Different aspect ratios lead to different flow patterns around the section, thereby causing distinct vibration phenomena. To better understand the evolution law of the characteristics when VIV occurs, a 10:1 rectangular section is selected as the research object. Based on the time-series data of "Static-Developing-Stable" derived from the synchronous vibration-pressure measurement test, the different stages of vibration are identified. The Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) method, based on Takens' embedding theorem, and the Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) method are introduced to analyze time-series data at different stages, clarifying the evolution laws of the section's characteristics. The results indicate that during the VIV, the section is initially excited by vortex shedding frequencies approaching the natural frequency, leading to modal competition. Following the onset of the vibration, the spatial distribution of both mean surface pressure and fluctuating pressure remains largely unaffected by the vibration stages. Once the vortex shedding frequency is equal to the structural natural frequency, the vibration enters a stable stage. During this stable stage, the distributed forces on the middle and trailing edges significantly amplify the vortex-induced forces. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of EOF modes exhibits a "wavelike" variation in the trailing zone, which indicates localized increases in the fluctuating pressure. The spectral characteristics of the principal components can reflect the different stages of vibration.
矩形截面的涡激振动受展弦比的影响较大。不同的展弦比导致截面周围不同的流动模式,从而产生不同的振动现象。为了更好地理解涡激振动发生时特性的演化规律,选取了10:1的矩形截面作为研究对象。基于同步振动-压力测量试验得到的“静-发展-稳定”时序数据,识别了振动的不同阶段。引入基于Takens嵌入定理的动态模态分解(DMD)方法和经验正交函数(EOF)方法对不同阶段的时间序列数据进行分析,阐明了剖面特征的演化规律。结果表明:在涡激过程中,截面最初受到接近固有频率的涡脱落频率的激励,导致模态竞争;振动发生后,地表平均压力和脉动压力的空间分布基本不受振动阶段的影响。当旋涡脱落频率与结构固有频率相等时,振动进入稳定阶段。在这个稳定阶段,中缘和尾缘的分布力显著地放大了涡致力。此外,EOF模态的空间分布在尾随区呈现“波浪形”变化,表明脉动压力局部增加。主成分的频谱特征可以反映振动的不同阶段。

Reduced dataset-based machine learning model for blast damage assessment of reinforced concrete columns 基于简化数据集的钢筋混凝土柱爆炸损伤评估机器学习模型

To mitigate blast-induced progressive collapses of building structures, blast damage assessment of main structural elements (e.g., column) is crucial. However, field tests and numerical simulations for evaluating blast resistant performance have been expensive and time-consuming. Due to these limitations, many researchers have developed machine-learning models. The model have been learned from a large amount of experiments and numerical simulation-based dataset, which required expensive computational time. This paper presents a novel machine learning approach trained and tested from a reduced dataset to predict blast resistant performance for RC columns. A multi-step machine learning model integrating two distinct models was established as follows: (1) prediction of column failure modes (shear & flexure failure) utilized as the input to the second model, and (2) prediction of blast-induced damage levels for the RC column. A learning dataset associated with the blast column damage was generated from the finite element simulations validated with the previous experimental results. The numerical simulation-based dataset varies with simple column details (longitudinal and transverse rebar details, and axial loading ratio) and blast loading scenarios (scaled distance). To resolve the limitation of the conventional learning models, the reduced dataset with 200 data points was utilized to develop best-fit models for each column damage level, and their models were combined using four different combination methods: (1) sequential prediction method (method-1), (2) maximum positive probability prediction method (method-2), (3) maximum negative probability prediction method (method-3), and (4) combined method between methods-1 and 2 (method-4). Among them, the combined method has the highest prediction performance. As compared to the general method model trained from a large amount of dataset (703 data), the proposed combination method (method-4) can reduce the data points by 71.5 % and enhance the average of accuracy for each blast damage level by 14.3 %.
为了减轻爆炸引起的建筑结构的渐进倒塌,对主要结构构件(如柱)的爆炸损伤评估至关重要。然而,用于评估抗爆炸性能的现场测试和数值模拟既昂贵又耗时。由于这些限制,许多研究人员开发了机器学习模型。该模型来源于大量的实验和数值模拟数据集,计算时间较长。本文提出了一种新的机器学习方法,从减少的数据集进行训练和测试,以预测RC柱的抗爆炸性能。建立了两种不同模型的多步机器学习模型:(1)柱的破坏模式(剪切和弯曲破坏)预测作为第二个模型的输入,(2)混凝土柱的爆炸损伤水平预测。通过有限元模拟和先前的实验结果验证,生成了与爆炸柱损伤相关的学习数据集。基于数值模拟的数据集随着简单的柱细节(纵向和横向钢筋细节以及轴向加载比)和爆炸加载场景(缩放距离)而变化。为了解决传统学习模型的局限性,利用200个数点的简化数据集建立了各柱损伤级别的最优拟合模型,并采用4种不同的组合方法对模型进行组合:(1)顺序预测法(method-1)、(2)最大正概率预测法(method-2)、(3)最大负概率预测法(method-3)和(4)方法1和方法2的组合法(method-4)。其中,组合方法的预测性能最高。与从大量数据集(703个数据)训练的一般方法模型相比,所提出的组合方法(method-4)可以减少71.5 %的数据点,并将每个爆炸损伤级别的平均精度提高14.3 %。
