The stretched sheets have a unique mechanical character that an increased tensile modulus is accompanied by an increased extensibility with increasing the draw ratio. Especially, a sharp increasing of the extensibility is observed for PETG/PC （70/30 wt%） blends at draw ratios between 8.2 and 20.0, where a nine times increase of extensibility is achieved. The mechanism of stretching-induced superior extensibility is investigated via micrograph observation, rheometry and calorimetric analysis. The observed superior extensibility could be tentatively explained by the bridging effect of the PC microfibrils on the crack development during tensile failure.展开更多

Most of the TLPs are multi-mooring systems, where multi-joints are connected to the tension-legs so that the platform is not allowed to twist freely and may subject to enormous force induced by large incident waves in the weak-direction of the structure. This study aims to exploit a single moored offshore platform system that may attract less force and can be operated with less effort. In our analysis, in addition to mechanical properties of the tether, two important properties are also taken into consideration for the single mooring tether with expanded cross sectional dimension and utilization of stronger material, namely, the sag-extensibility and the flexural rigidity. Finally, the dynamic structural behavior produced by the mechanical effects on the new system is investigated and compared with that of traditional design while the wave-structure interactions of large body are also accounted for. Our study finds that the neglect of sag-extensibility or the flexural rigidity of large, strong mooring cable may result in a conservative but not necessarily safe design.展开更多

The stress across seams is related to the size of the wearer and the fit and the garment, the more close fitting a garment, the greater stress is put on the seam. Since pressure garments are subjected to appreciable stress during wear, seams with the required strength and extensiblity are particular important.The seam type, stitch type, stitch density and thread strength are the main factors determining the strength and extensibility of a seam. In this paper, investigation of seam strength and extensibility are made on four types of seams which have been used for making pressure garments. Five different types of stitch densities and two sizes of sewing thread are used on each type of scam to be tested. The seaming conditions of the selected fabric are also examined.展开更多

文摘To address the issues of peak overlap caused by complex matrices in agricultural product terahertz(THz)spectral signals and the dynamic,nonlinear interference induced by environmental and system noise,this study explores the feasibility of adaptive-signal-decomposition-based denoising methods to improve THz spectral quality.THz time-domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS)combined with an attenuated total reflection(ATR)accessory was used to collect THz absorbance spectra from 48 peanut samples.Taking the quantitative prediction model of peanut moisture content based on THz-ATR as an example,wavelet transform(WT),empirical mode decomposition(EMD),local mean decomposition(LMD),and its improved methods-segmented local mean decomposition(SLMD)and piecewise mirror extension local mean decomposition(PME-LMD)-were employed for spectral denoising.The applicability of different denoising methods was evaluated using a support vector regression(SVR)model.Experimental results show that the peanut moisture content prediction model constructed after PME-LMD denoising achieved the best performance,with a root mean square error(RMSE),coefficient of determination(R^(2)),and mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)of 0.010,0.912,and 0.040,respectively.Compared with traditional methods,PME-LMD significantly improved spectral quality and model prediction performance.The PME-LMD denoising strategy proposed in this study effectively suppresses non-uniform noise interference in THz spectral signals,providing an efficient and accurate preprocessing method for THz spectral analysis of agricultural products.This research provides theoretical support and technical guidance for the application of THz technology for detecting agricultural product quality.

文摘The Ross Sea basins,shaped by Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic extension within the crust of the Ross Sea,represent key regions for understanding continental rifting processes.However,the dynamic mechanisms driving the transition from diffuse extension to focused extension in these basins remain poorly understood.Here,we provide a comprehensive model of crustal extension in the Ross Sea basins,detailing the kinematic and dynamic evolution from 100 Ma to the present on the basis of published finite rotation poles.Our model illuminates the complex relative motions between the West Antarctic and East Antarctic Plates and quantifies the crustal strain rates associated with their relative movements.We show that West Antarctica began to move away slowly from the East Antarctic and rotated clockwise at approximately 53 Ma,and the motion progressively decreased until it ceased at approximately 11 Ma.This kinematic shift temporally coincided with the onset of focused rifting,indicating a transition from broadly distributed extension in the eastern Ross Sea to localized deformation in the western basin.Time-resolved strain rate fields further reveal several hundred kilometers of total crustal extension,suggesting a primary influence of evolving plate motions over passive lithospheric weakening.These findings refine the tectonic history of the Ross Sea and provide a reproducible framework linking rift basin evolution to global plate motion.

文摘The tectonic setting of the Himalaya during the Early Paleozoic has been a subject of enduring debate within the scientific community.Newly discovered bimodal intrusive rocks from comprehensive field geological investigation in the central mountain range were subjected to petrology,zircon U-Pb geochronology,zircon Hf isotopes and whole-rock geochemistry analyses.The Palie bimodal intrusive rocks,comprising amphibolite and granitic gneiss,were formed at~489 Ma.The amphibolite exhibits geochemical characteristics consistent with N-MORB,while the granitic gneiss is classified as high potassium calc-alkaline peraluminous S-type granite.Both igneous rocks exhibit negative zirconε_(Hf)(t)values and display ancient T_(DM)^(C)ages.In conjunction with regional geological survey findings,it can be inferred that the formation of the Palie bimodal intrusive rocks occurred within a post-collision extensional tectonic setting.The amphibolite genesis involved partial melting of an enriched lithospheric mantle with some crustal assimilation,whereas the origin of the granitic gneiss can be attributed to partial melting of pre-existing felsic crust.Our data indicate that during the Early Paleozoic,the Himalaya underwent a transition from a pan-African collisional setting to post-collisional extensional tectonics.

文摘In this paper,we call a tuple consisting of 3-Lie algebra and a higher derivation on it a 3-LieHDer pair.We introduce a cohomology theory of 3-LieHDer pairs.Next,we interpret the second cohomology group as the space of all isomorphism classes of abelian extensions.Finally,we consider formal deformations of 3-LieHDer pairs that are governed by the cohomology with self-coefficient.
