When using the ATP-EMTP software to simulate the electromagnetic transient of local line or nearby line for a large area power grid, it is necessary to divide the area grid into internal network and external network so as to make the external network simple for the restriction of the simulation calculation scale of software. Based on the existing equivalence method, in this paper we proposed a practical equivalent method using the short-circuit calculation program of PSASP. In this way, we completed the equivalence of northwest power grid operating at the large mode of summer 2016. By comparing the power flow and the characteristics of short-circuit in the system before and after the equivalence, this equivalent method is proved to be correct.

The global steel industry is a highly internationalized industry, globalization strategy is the inevitable choice of Chinese steel enterprises to improve the international competitiveness, and many factors make it feasible for Chinese iron and steel enterprises to implement globalization strategy. This paper made an analysis on the overseas investment opportunities of Chinese steel enterprises from the perspective of globalization strategy, involving the resource-based commodity investment, the establishment of overseas production bases and R&D center, controlling trade channels and building strategic alliance, then sketched out the globalization strategy implementation framework of Chinese iron and steel enterprises.

Air pollution has posed a serious public health issue in China. In the study, we aimed to examine the burden of air pollution and its association with climate factors and total mortality. City-level daily air quality index (AQI) data in 161 cities of China in 2014, and meteorological factors, socioeconomic status and total morality were obtained from China environmental, meteorology and healthcare agencies. Linear regression, spatial autocorrelation analysis and panel fixed models were applied in data analysis. Among 161 cities, monthly average AQI was significantly different by seasons and regions. The highest average AQI was in winter, and the lowest in summer. A significant clustering distribution of AQI by cities was observed, with the highest AQI in north China (22 cities, mean = 117.36). Among the 161 cities, 5 cities (3%) had AQI > 150 (e.g., moderate polluted reference value), and 50 cities (31.1%) had AQI between 100 and 150 (slightly polluted value). Daily heat index, precipitation and sunshine hours were negatively and significantly, but air pressure was positively correlated with AQI. Cities with higher AQI concentrations had higher total mortality than those with lower AQI. This AQI-mortality associa-How to cite this paper: Liu, L.J., Yang, X.,

Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) possess huge potential in mass-reduction strategy of automotive industry. In order to understand behavior of FMLs as they undergo stamp forming processes, finite element analyses of surface strain evolutions have been carried out. The simulations provide strains at locations within the layers of an FML, allowing better understanding of forming behavior of the composite layer and its influence on the metal layers. Finite element analyses were conducted on two aluminum-based FMLs with different fiber-reinforced composites and benchmarked against monolithic aluminum alloy. The simulation results indicated that high stiffness of the reinforcement constrains flow of the matrix in the composite layer, which can be attributed to the distinguishing behavior of the FMLs compared to the monolithic aluminum alloy.
