The major active components of the herb are considered to be alkaloids. Thus, preparative separation of these alkaloids is critical important for further pharmacology and mechanism studies. In the paper, five alkaloids from C. chinensis were purified by HSCCC using the solvent system composed of chloro-form-metha- nol-water (2:1:1, v/v/v) single prepared. The content of each solvent in solvent system were determined by gas chromatography (GC), then according the ratios of solvents in each phase to prepare the mobile and stationary phase respectively. And a comparative study was carried out between together preparation and single preparation of the solvent system. The purities and recoveries of all the products were over 98.5% and 92%. However, 134 mL chloroform, 336 mL methanol and 452 mL water were saved when the two phase were singled by GC. Our research showed an economical method for separating alkaloids from C. chinensis by HSCCC using the solvent system single prepared by GC.展开更多

文摘This paper studies the structural response of high-speed train wipers under the combined action of complex flow fields and scraping actions.The stress concentration areas are determined through simulation analysis,and the stress and aerodynamic load measurement points are reasonably arranged accordingly.The actual measurement is carried out in combination with the operating conditions of the existing lines.The stress variations and spectral characteristics of the train under different speed levels(80,160,180,200 km/h),tunnel entry and exit,and scraper action conditions were compared and analyzed.The stress amplification factors under tunnel intersection and scraper action were obtained,providing boundary conditions for the design of wipers for highspeed s.The research results show that the maximum stress of the wiper structure obtained through simulation calculation is concentrated at the connection of the wiper arm.Structural stress increases with the rise of speed grade.The stress increases by 1.11 times when the tunnel meets.When the scraper operates,the stress on the scraper arm increases by 4.1–7.6 times.Due to the broadband excitation effect of the aerodynamic load,the spectral energy of the structure is relatively high at the natural frequency,which excites the natural mode of the wiper.

文摘As the main component of the aircraft leading edge,the radome is often the first to be hit by raindrops and cause structural damage when passing through a rain field.Rain resistant coating is usually applied to ensure the performance protection requirements.In order to clarify the rain erosion damage mechanism of radome coating and explore the influencing factors and mechanisms of coating material damage under different jet impact conditions,impact tests were conducted on three types of skin coating samples,and the damage mode was observed through electron microscopy characterization.The experimental results show that the typical morphology of rain erosion damage is annular surface peeling damage.The damage area and volume of the three coating samples increase with the continuous increase of raindrop impact velocity.The threshold velocity for initial damage to the coating is about 360 m/s;under the influence of the velocity component,the reduction in impact angle leads to a gradual reduction in the degree of damage to the sample.ABAQUS finite element simulation software was used to establish a constitutive model for coating rain erosion simulation and obtain the propagation law of stress waves during the impact process.The simulation results show that at the 75°impact angle,the jet impacts the surface of the specimen at different velocities,and as the impact velocity increases,the Mises equivalent stress on the surface shows an increasing trend,which is one of the main factors causing damage with increasing velocity.The effectiveness,rain erosion damage mode,and influencing mechanism of the model were verified based on the test results;the dynamic failure mechanism of the sample was further studied,and the stress propagation process at different impact angles was compared,revealing the influence mechanism and damage law of the impact angle on the high-speed raindrop impact of the material.

文摘This paper proposes a passive control method to reduce peak values of slipstream and turbulent kinetic energy in a high-speed train wake by attaching vortex generators(VGs)onto the upper surface of the tail car.The impact of the VGs is assessed through the improved delayed detached eddy simulations(IDDES)after validating predictions against previous experimental measurements and other numerical predictions for the base case.The simulations indicate that strategically installed VGs can reduce the average slipstream velocity(U slipstream)and the upper limit of slipstream velocity(U_(slipstream,max))by~17%and~15%,respectively,as well as moving the peaks downstream by approximately train height,thus reducing the danger posed by slipstream to waiting passengers and trackside workers.Analysis shows that the wake turbulent kinetic energy diminishes as the vortex generators decelerate the downwash flow and reduce shear production in the wake.It is also found that the presence of VGs significantly impacts the flow on the upper surface near the tail by modifying the unsteady trailing longitudinal vortices through the formation of additional counter-rotating longitudinal vortices from the VGs.These latter vortices prevent the merging of vortical airflow around the trailing nose tip,which is otherwise induced by the longitudinal vortex of the train.They also reduce vortex intensity through cross-annihilation and cross diffusion as the wake advects downstream,limiting outwards advection through interaction with the image pair,and contributing to a decrease in the peak slipstream value.The method proposed offers a simple approach to wake control leading to significant slipstream benefits.

文摘The axle box bearings of high-speed trains often operate in extremely harsh environments,bearing loads from different directions.Long-term operation and frequent changes in working conditions can easily lead to axle box bearing failures.Therefore,it is extremely important to study the mechanism of axle box bearings.Firstly,the medium of thermal deformation establishes a coupling relationship between the system dynamics model and the thermal grid model,and then obtains the thermal force coupling model of the high-speed train axle box bearing.The coupling model is validated from the perspectives of system dynamics response and temperature response,proving its effectiveness in system dynamics response and temperature characteristic response.Comparing the coupling model with the dynamics model,it is found that thermal deformation complicates the dynamic re-sponse.Finally,using the Lundberg-Palmgren(L-P)bearing fatigue calculation method and damage accumu-lation theory,the bearing fatigue life is calculated,and it is found that thermal deformation deteriorates the bearing operating environment,reducing the bearing fatigue life.Finally,by comparing the bearing fatigue life under different working conditions,it is concluded that the faster the vehicle speed,the greater the load,and the smaller the initial radial clearance of the bearing,the fatigue life of the bearing is reduced.The shorter the lifespan.
文摘Research on high-speed railways is a relatively new yet highly significant field in Vietnam.Among its key components,train control signaling plays a critical role,as it directly affects various interconnected systems,including infrastructure,traction power supply,operational planning,and overall railway safety.This article focuses on evaluating the capacity of the line based on the types of signals suitable for high-speed railways that have been effectively implemented in several European countries and successfully adapted in China.The research and simulation are conducted using MATLAB software,a reliable and widely adopted tool in the scientific community.The findings demonstrate that under normal conditions,the European Railway Traffic Management System/European Train Control System(ERTMS/ETCS)Level 2 signaling can support up to 23.7485 trains/hour/direction.Meanwhile,ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with full moving block can accommodate up to 30.8735 trains/hour/direction,and ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with fixed virtual blocks up to 29.4694 trains/hour/direction.In emergency scenarios,ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with full moving block reduces headway by 33.27%compared to CTCS Level 3,while ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with fixed virtual blocks achieves a 28.78%reduction.Overall,the ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 emerges as a state-of-the-art signaling technology offering high capacity and operational efficiency,and is recommended as a forward-looking solution for future implementation in Vietnam.

文摘The spatial offset of bridge has a significant impact on the safety,comfort,and durability of high-speed railway(HSR)operations,so it is crucial to rapidly and effectively detect the spatial offset of operational HSR bridges.Drive-by monitoring of bridge uneven settlement demonstrates significant potential due to its practicality,cost-effectiveness,and efficiency.However,existing drive-by methods for detecting bridge offset have limitations such as reliance on a single data source,low detection accuracy,and the inability to identify lateral deformations of bridges.This paper proposes a novel drive-by inspection method for spatial offset of HSR bridge based on multi-source data fusion of comprehensive inspection train.Firstly,dung beetle optimizer-variational mode decomposition was employed to achieve adaptive decomposition of non-stationary dynamic signals,and explore the hidden temporal relationships in the data.Subsequently,a long short-term memory neural network was developed to achieve feature fusion of multi-source signal and accurate prediction of spatial settlement of HSR bridge.A dataset of track irregularities and CRH380A high-speed train responses was generated using a 3D train-track-bridge interaction model,and the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed hybrid deep learning model were numerically validated.Finally,the reliability of the proposed drive-by inspection method was further validated by analyzing the actual measurement data obtained from comprehensive inspection train.The research findings indicate that the proposed approach enables rapid and accurate detection of spatial offset in HSR bridge,ensuring the long-term operational safety of HSR bridges.

文摘Railway noise barriers are an essential piece of infrastructure for reducing noise propagation.However,these barriers experience aerodynamic loads generated by high-speed trains,leading to dynamic effects that may compromise their fatigue capacity.The most common structural design for railway noise barriers consists of vertical configurations of posts and panels.However,there have been few dynamic analyses of steel post/wood panel noise barriers under train-induced aerodynamic loads.This study used dynamic finite element analysis to assess the dynamic behavior of such noise barriers.Analysis of a 40-m-long noise barrier model and a triangular simplified load model,the latter of which effectively represented the detailed aerodynamic load,were first used to establish the model and input of the moving load during dynamic simulation.Then,the effects of different parameters on the dynamic response of the noise barrier were evaluated,including the damping ratio,the profile of the steel post,the span length of the panel,the barrier height,and the train speed.Gray relational analysis indicated that barrier height exhibited the highest correlations with the dynamic responses,followed by train speed,post profile,span length,and damping ratio.A reduction in the natural frequency and an increase in the train speed result in a higher peak response and more pronounced fluctuations between the nose and tail waves.The dynamic amplification factor(DAF)was found to be related to both the natural frequency and train speed.A model was proposed showing that the DAF significantly increases as the square of the natural frequency decreases and the cube of the train speed rises.

文摘We demonstrate a high-speed rotating slit beam shaping method for femtosecond(fs)laser three-dimensional(3D)isotropic inscription in glass materials.By integrating fs laser direct writing with a real-time rotating slit mechanism,a 3D symmetric spherical focal field distribution is created in the laser-irradiated regions of transparent substrates.The corresponding focal field distribution is theoretically calculated and validated by examining the features of laser-inscribed lines in glass samples.Moreover,we investigate the influences of laser writing speed and slit rotational speed on the fabrication resolution in glass,and discuss the formation mechanism of the generated periodic microstructures.To showcase its powerful capability for3D isotropic fabrication,the high-speed rotating slit beam shaping method is applied to create straight optical waveguides,bending optical waveguides,and hollow microchannels in the glass.The proposed method holds great potential for the facile manufacture of diverse 3D isotropic microstructures and devices within transparent materials across various applications,including advanced photonics,microoptics,micro-electromechanical systems,and microfluidics.

文摘Under the background of‘the Belt and Road’and‘China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor’initiatives,this paper studied the urban accessibility level,regional accessibility pattern and regional spatial effects along the Primorsky No.1 and No.2 transportation corridors.First,the evaluation of urban accessibility level with and without Primorsky No.1 and No.2 high-speed rails(HSRs)opening was conducted with two indicators,i.e.,the weighted average travel time,and the economic potential.After the evaluation,the spatial differentiation pattern of the accessibility changes with and without Primorsky No.1 and No.2 HSRs opening was performed respectively using ArcGIS.On these bases,the regional spatial effects brought by Primorsky No.1 and No.2 HSRs opening were studied.The results are as following.First,the urban accessibility level will be greatly improved by the opening of Primorsky No.1 and No.2 HSRs.All adjacent cities will be integrated into‘1 h HSR communication circle’and the whole journey will be integrated into‘4 h HSR communication circle’along Primorsky No.1 and No.2 corridors,respectively.The HSR accessibility of Primorsky No.1 corridor is stronger than that of Primorsky No.2 corridor.But the HSR accessibility improvement degree of Primorsky No.1 corridor is weaker than that of Primorsky No.2 corridor.Second,spatially,along Primorsky No.1 and No.2 corridors,the HSR accessibility level of the cities which are located in China is stronger than those cities located in Russia,showing the‘High West,Low East’patterns.The HSR accessibility improvement degree of the cities which are located in Russia and Sino-Russian border is stronger than those cities located in China,showing the‘High East,Low West’patterns.Third,Primorsky No.1 and No.2 corridors could connect the China’s‘Heilongjiang Land Sea Silk Road Economic Belt’and‘Changchun-Jilin-Tumen Development Pilot Zone’respectively,gradually involving into the development of China’s Harbin-Changchun Megalopolis.Relying on Harbin(China)and Changchun(China),Primorsky No.1 and No.2 HSRs could connect Northeast China-Beijing HSR,accelerating the diffusion of population,economy and other flows from China’s Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration to Northeast China,and then to Russia’s Far East Federal District.Relying on Suifenhe(China)and Hunchun(China),Primorsky No.1 and No.2 HSRs could be conducive to the development of the second largest sea channels for Northeast China,creating the Northeast Asian Urban Belt,and new sea-rail intermodal pattern among China,Russia,Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,Japan and Republic of Korea.Relying on Vladivostok(Russia)and Zarubino(Russia),Primorsky No.1 and No.2 corridors could connect the‘Ice Silk Road’,building the‘Sino-Russian Northern Maritime Corridor’and‘Sino-Russian Arctic Blue Economic Areas’.
文摘Purpose–Regarding that Ultraviolet radiation,pollutant adsorption,and environmental changes may be the main reasons for the aging and yellowing on windshield rubber in high-speed trains,countermeasures are proposed to solve the aging and yellowing of windshield rubber and reduce the adverse effects caused by rubber yellowing.Design/methodology/approach–Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS)were used to test the yellowed windshield rubber.Aging tests,including UVaging,natural aging and salt spray aging,were conducted to analyze the effects of aging on the windshield rubber.Different cleaning agents were selected to soak the windshield rubber,and the quality,hardness,and surface appearance of the rubber samples were tested.Findings–After UV aging,antioxidants migrated to the surface of the windshield rubber,but due to oxidation failure,they could not capture free radicals,leading to continued oxidation reactions within the material and resulting in yellowing of the rubber in a short period of time.Originality/value–Cleaning agents have a minimal impact on windshield rubber,UV aging has the greatest impact and natural aging is a gradual and slow deterioration process.Through daily deep cleaning and maintenance with protective agents at regular intervals,the deterioration of windshield rubber yellowing in high-speed trains can be effectively suppressed.
