In this study, cement, an alkaline solution, and glass fiber were used to reinforce GRS. The effects of cement content and SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of the alkaline solution on the static and dynamic strengths of GRS were discussed. Microscopically, the reinforcement mechanism and coupling effect were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the addition of 2% cement and an alkaline solution with an SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of 0.5 led to the densest matrix, lowest porosity, and highest static compressive strength, which was 4994 kPa with a dynamic impact resistance of 75.4 kN after adding glass fiber. The compressive strength and dynamic impact resistance were a result of the coupling effect of cement hydration, a pozzolanic reaction of clay minerals in the GRS, and the alkali activation of clay minerals. Excessive cement addition or an excessively high SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio in the alkaline solution can have negative effects, such as the destruction of C-(A)-S-H gels by the alkaline solution and hindering the production of N-A-S-H gels. This can result in damage to the matrix of reinforced GRS, leading to a decrease in both static and dynamic strengths. This study suggests that further research is required to gain a more precise understanding of the effects of this mixture in terms of reducing our carbon footprint and optimizing its properties. The findings indicate that cement and alkaline solution are appropriate for GRS and that the reinforced GRS can be used for high-strength foundation and embankment construction. The study provides an analysis of strategies for mitigating and managing GRS slope failures, as well as enhancing roadbed performance.展开更多

文摘Based on the rapid advancements in nanomaterials and nanotechnology,the Nanofluidic Reverse Electrodialysis(NRED)has attracted significant attention as an innovative and promising energy conversion strategy for extracting sustainable and clean energy fromthe salinity gradient energy.However,the scarcity of research investigating the intricate multi-factor coupling effects on the energy conversion performance,especially the trade-offs between ion selectivity and mass transfer in nanochannels,of NRED poses a great challenge to achieving breakthroughs in energy conversion processes.This numerical study innovatively investigates the multi-factor coupling effect of three critical operational factors,including the nanochannel configuration,the temperature field,and the concentration difference,on the energy conversion processes of NRED.In this work,a dimensionless amplitude parameter s is introduced to emulate the randomly varied wall configuration of nanochannels that inherently occur in practical applications,thereby enhancing the realism and applicability of our analysis.Numerical results reveal that the application of a temperature gradient,which is oriented in opposition to the concentration gradient,enhances the ion transportation and selectivity simultaneously,leading to an enhancement in both output power and energy conversion efficiency.Additionally,the increased fluctuation of the nanochannel wall from s=0 to s=0.08 improves ion selectivity yet raises ion transport resistance,resulting in an enhancement in output power and energy conversion efficiency but a slight reduction in current.Furthermore,with increasing the concentration ratio cH/cL from 10 to 1000,either within a fixed temperature field or at a constant dimensionless amplitude,the maximumpower consistently attains its optimal value at a concentration ratio of 100 but the cation transfer number experiences amonotonic decrease across this entire range of concentration ratios.Finally,uponmodifying the operational parameters fromthe baseline condition of s=0,c_(H)/c_(L)=10,andΔT=0 K to the targetedconditionof s=0.08,c_(H)/c_(L)=50,andΔT=25 K,there is a concerted improvement observed in the open-circuit potential,short-circuit current,andmaximumpower,with respective increments of 8.86%,204.97%,and 232.01%,but a reduction in cation transfer number with a notable decrease of 15.37%.

文摘Self-trapping excitons(STEs) emission in metal halides has been a matter of interest, correlating with the strength of electron-phonon coupling in the lattice, which are usually caused by ions with ns~2 electronic structure. In this work, Sb^(3+)/Te^(4+)ions doped Zn-based halide single crystals(SCs) with two STEs emissions have been synthesized and the possibility of its anti-counterfeiting application was explored.Further, the relationship between the strength of electron-phonon coupling and photoluminescence quantum yields(PLQYs) for STEs in a series of metal halides has been studied. And the semi-empirical range of the Huang-Rhys factors(S) for metal halides with excellent photoluminescence(PL) property has been summarized. This work provides ideas for further research into the relationship between luminescence performance and electron-phonon coupling of metal halides, and also provides a reference for designing the metal halides with high PLQYs.

文摘This study focuses on coupled vibrations of rotating thin-walled composite beams subjected to hygrothermal effects.In the existing literature,many studies have been conducted on coupled bending-torsional vibration and resonance in hygrothermal environments.Few studies considered the coupled flapwise-edgewise and resonances of composite thin-walled beams.Considering this,the flapwise-edgewise coupling effects and resonant characteristics of rotating thin-walled composite beams in a hygrothermal environment are studied.The Rayleigh–Ritz method is used to solve the equations of the beam.Results indicate that flapwise-edgewise coupling factors are essential for the vibration analysis of rectangular thin-walled beams.The ply angle and setting angle strongly affect the internal and external resonances.Large ply angles can significantly reduce the chances of primary internal and external resonances occurring when the permitted rotational speed is lower.

文摘Alloying and interface effects are effective strategies for enhancing the performance of electrocatalysts in energy-related devices.Herein,dendritic Au-doped platinum-palladium alloy/dumbbell-like bismuth telluride heterostructures(denoted PtPdAu/BiTe)were synthesized using a visible-light-assisted strategy.The coupling alloy and interfacial effects of PtPdAu/BiTe significantly improved the performance and stability of both the ethanol oxidation reaction(EOR)and methanol oxidation reaction(MOR).Introducing a small amount of Au effectively enhanced the CO tolerance of PtPdAu/BiTe compared to dendritic platinum-palladium alloy/dumbbell-like bismuth telluride heterostructures.PtPdAu/BiTe exhibited mass activities of 31.5 and 13.3 A·mg_(Pt)^(-1)in EOR and MOR,respectively,which were 34.4 and 13.2 times higher than those of commercial Pt black,revealing efficient Pt atom utilization.In-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated complete 12e^(-)and 6e^(-)oxidation of ethanol and methanol on PtPdAu/BiTe.The PtPdAu/BiTe/C achieved mass peak power densities of 131 and 156 mW·mg_(Pt)^(-1),which were 2.4 and 2.2 times higher than those of Pt/C in practical direct ethanol fuel cell(DEFC)and direct methanol fuel cell(DMFC),respectively,highlighting their potential application in DEFC and DMFC.This study introduces an effective strategy for designing efficient and highly CO tolerant anodic electrocatalysts for practical DEFC and DMFC applications.
文摘This paper prepared a novel as-cast W-Zr-Ti metallic ESM using high-frequency vacuum induction melting technique.The above ESM performs a typical elastic-brittle material feature and strain rate strengthening behavior.The specimens exhibit violent chemical reaction during the fracture process under the impact loading,and the size distribution of their residual debris follows Rosin-Rammler model.The dynamic fracture toughness is obtained by the fitting of debris length scale,approximately 1.87 MPa·m~(1/2).Microstructure observation on residual debris indicates that the failure process is determined by primary crack propagation under quasi-static compression,while it is affected by multiple cracks propagation in both particle and matrix in the case of dynamic impact.Impact test demonstrates that the novel energetic fragment performs brilliant penetration and combustion effect behind the front target,leading to the effective ignition of fuel tank.For the brittleness of as-cast W-ZrTi ESM,further study conducted bond-based peridynamic(BB-PD)C++computational code to simulate its fracture behavior during penetration.The BB-PD method successfully captured the fracture process and debris cloud formation of the energetic fragment.This paper explores a novel as-cast metallic ESM,and provides an available numerical avenue to the simulation of brittle energetic fragment.

文摘The collective dynamic of a fractional-order globally coupled system with time delays and fluctuating frequency is investigated.The power-law memory of the system is characterized using the Caputo fractional derivative operator.Additionally,time delays in the potential field force and coupling force transmission are both considered.Firstly,based on the delay decoupling formula,combined with statistical mean method and the fractional-order Shapiro–Loginov formula,the“statistic synchronization”among particles is obtained,revealing the statistical equivalence between the mean field behavior of the system and the behavior of individual particles.Due to the existence of the coupling delay,the impact of the coupling force on synchronization exhibits non-monotonic,which is different from the previous monotonic effects.Then,two kinds of theoretical expression of output amplitude gains G and G are derived by time-delay decoupling formula and small delay approximation theorem,respectively.Compared to G,G is an exact theoretical solution,which means that G is not only more accurate in the region of small delay,but also applies to the region of large delay.Finally,the study of the output amplitude gain G and its resonance behavior are explored.Due to the presence of the potential field delay,a new resonance phenomenon termed“periodic resonance”is discovered,which arises from the periodic matching between the potential field delay and the driving frequency.This resonance phenomenon is analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively,uncovering undiscovered characteristics in previous studies.

文摘Interlayer exchange coupling(IEC)plays a critical role in spin-orbit torque(SOT)switching in synthetic magnets.This work establishes a fundamental correlation between IEC and SOT dynamics within Co/Pt-based synthetic antiferromagnets and synthetic ferromagnets.The antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic coupling states are precisely engineered through Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida(RKKY)interactions by modulating the Ir spacer thickness.Experimental results reveal that the critical switching current density exhibits a strong positive correlation with the IEC strength,regardless of the coupling type.A comprehensive theoretical framework based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation elucidates how IEC contributes to the effective energy barrier that must be overcome during SOT-induced magnetization switching.Significantly,the antiferromagnetically coupled samples demonstrate enhanced SOT efficiency,with the spin Hall angle being directly proportional to the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling field.These insights establish a coherent physical paradigm for understanding IEC-dependent SOT dynamics and provide strategic design principles for the development of energy-efficient next-generation spintronic devices.

文摘In this paper,the vegetable field in the teaching base of College of Agriculture,Yangtze University was taken as the research object.The indoor simulation method was used to explore the effects of temperature and moisture on the phosphorus(P)bioavailability of vegetable soil.Three temperature gradients[T1(15℃),T2(25℃),T3(35℃)]and three humidity gradients[W1(40%),W2(70%),W3(100%)]were set in the test.The results showed that it could improve the contents of HCl-P,Enzyme-P,Citrate-P,and Olsen-P in vegetable soil by increasing soil moisture content;temperature rise was helpful to increase the contents of HCl-P and Olsen-P,but it could reduce the content of Citrate-P.The contents of Enzyme-P and CaCl 2-P were significantly affected by hydrothermal interaction.Within a certain range of soil temperature and humidity,temperature and moisture had a positive coupling effect on soil P bioavailability components,and significantly affected soil P supply capacity.
文摘The wide application of carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP)components in modern aerospace manufacturing field puts high demands on the manufacturing process.Especially,the temperature increase during continuous milling process becomes a key factor affecting the performance of composites,and the high milling temperature induces a variety of processing defects.This paper obtained the temperature variation data during the end milling process of CFRP laminates through experiments.After data fitting,the data were transformed into a function of heat flux density varying with time.In the finite element analysis,a double-ellipsoid moving heat source model was introduced,and a moving heat source subrou-tine was written based on the time-varying function of heat flux density to more accurately describe the thermal effects dur-ing the milling process and simulate the changes in the temperature field during milling.The Hashin failure criterion is a-dopted as the basis of fiber and matrix failure,and the simulation results of the temperature field are input into the thermal-force coupling simulation model as the predefined field conditions for solving and analyzing by means of sequential thermal-force coupling,so as to establish a thermal-force coupling simulation and analysis model for milling processing of CFRP end faces.The model simulation results can provide a basis for exploring the damage evolution law of CFRP material under the influence of temperature.

文摘In this study,a series of triaxial tests are conducted on sandstone specimens to investigate the evolution of their mechanics and permeability characteristics under the combined action of immersion corrosion and seepage of different chemical solutions.It is observed that with the increase of confining pressure,the peak stress,dilatancy stress,dilatancy stress ratio,peak strain,and elastic modulus of the sandstone increase while the Poisson ratio decreases and less secondary cracks are produced when the samples are broken.The pore pressure and confining pressure have opposite influences on the mechanical properties.With the increase of the applied axial stress,three stages are clearly identified in the permeability evolution curves:initial compaction stage,linear elasticity stage and plastic deformation stage.The permeability reaches the maximum value when the highest volumetric dilatancy is obtained.In addition,the hydrochemical action of salt solution with pH=7 and 4 has an obvious deteriorating effect on the mechanical properties and induces the increase of permeability.The obtained results will be useful in engineering to understand the mechanical and seepage properties of sandstone under the coupled chemical-seepage-stress multiple fields.

文摘While the deformation behavior of rare-earth magnesium alloys at high temperatures has been extensively studied,the deformation mechanisms under moderate-to-low temperatures and high strain rates remain insufficiently understood.To address this gap,hot compression tests were conducted on a Mg-11Gd-3Y-0.5Zr(wt.%)alloy over a temperature range of 150℃–450℃under strain rates of 10^(-3) s^(-1)(low strain rate(LSR))and 10 s^(-1)(high strain rate(HSR))to explore the strain rate-temperature coupling effects during hot deformation.The results revealed an anomalous increase in peak stress at 150℃–250℃as the strain rate decreased,attributed to the combined effects of nano-precipitates,dislocation cell structures,and serrated flow induced by dynamic strain aging.At higher temperatures,strain rate influences softening pathways:under HSR at 450℃,the effect of twinning shifts from strengthening to facilitating dynamic recrystallization(DRX),resulting in substantial grain refinement(-4 μm,81%area fraction at a strain of 0.6).In contrast,at LSR,softening is dominated by dynamic recovery at 350℃,with limited DRX(-4 μm grains,10%area fraction at a strain of 0.6)occurs at 400℃.These findings clarify the dual role of twinning and its interaction with rate-temperature conditions,providing valuable insights into optimizing the hot processing of rare-earth magnesium alloys.

文摘Focused ultrasound(FUS)therapy generates sufficient heat for medical interventions like tumor ablation by concentrating energy at the focal point.The complex viscoelastic properties of biological tissues pose challenges in balancing focusing precision and penetration depth,impacting the safety of surrounding tissues and treatment efficacy.This study develops an acoustic-solid-thermal coupling computational model to elucidate the dynamic mechanical response and energy dissipation mechanisms of soft tissue during FUS thermal therapy using a hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model.Results indicate that the high compressibility and low shear resistance of biological tissues result in a unique shear dissipation mechanism.Energy dissipation efficiency per area is indirectly influenced by load frequency via its effect on the dynamic shear modulus and is directly proportional to load amplitude.Focusing precision,represented by the focal zone width,is inversely controlled by frequency via wavelength.A mathematical model for evaluating temperature rise efficiency is proposed,and an optimal frequency for efficient FUS thermal therapy in brain-like soft materials is identified.This research elucidates the link between viscoelastic tissue behavior and FUS treatment outcomes,offering insights for optimizing FUS applications in various medical fields.

文摘Narrow backfill earth pressure estimation is applied to study the stability of supporting structures in the vicinity of existing buildings.Previous narrow backfill earth pressure studies have neglected seismic-unsaturated seepage multi-field coupling,resulting in inaccurate estimates.To address these deficiencies,this paper proposed a calculation method for seismic passive earth pressure in unsaturated narrow backfill,based on inclined thin-layer units.It considers the interlayer shear stress,arching effect,and the multi-field coupling of seismic-unsaturated seepage.Additionally,this paper includes a parametric sensitivity analysis.The outcomes indicate that the earthquake passive ground pressure of unsaturated narrow backfill can be reduced by increasing the aspect ratio,seismic acceleration coefficient,and unsaturation parameterα.It can also be reduced by decreasing the effective interior friction angle,soil cohesion,wallearth friction angle,and vertical discharge.Furthermore,for any width soil,lowering the elevation of the action point of passive thrust can be attained by raising the effective interior friction angle,wall-earth friction angle,and unsaturation parameterα.Reducing soil cohesion,seismic acceleration coefficient,and vertical discharge can also lower the height of the application point of passive thrust.

文摘The progress from intelligent interactions requires electronic skin(E-skin)to shift from single-functional perception to multisensory capabilities.However,the intuitive and interference-free reading of multiple sensory signals without involving complex algorithms is a critical challenge.Herein,we propose a flexible multisensory E-skin by developing a highly homogeneous dispersion of BaTiO_(3)nanoparticles in polydimethylsiloxane dielectric layer.The E-skin is sensitive to externally applied pressure as well as temperature and can distinguish dual synergetic stimuli by the time decoupling effect.The pressure and temperature perception was achieved in an individual device,which greatly reduced the structural complexity compared with multifunctional integrated devices.The sensitivity of E-skin for pressure detection is as high as 0.0724 kPa^(−1)and the detection range reaches as wide as 15.625-10 MPa.The sensitivity to temperature detection is as high as−1.34℃^(−1)and the detection range reaches 20-200℃.More importantly,by equipping with a multilayer neural network,the evolution from tactile perception to advanced intelligent tactile cognition is demonstrated.

文摘A new piezoelectric energy harvester is proposed which employs the coupling effect between a piezoelectric beam and an elastic-supported sphere to capture wind energy from multiple directions.As wind flows across the sphere,it induces vortical vibrations that transfer to the piezoelectric beam,converting wind energy into electricity.A nonlinear coupled dynamic theoretical model based on the Euler-Lagrange equation is developed to study the interactions between the sphere and beam vibrations.The vortex-induced force acting on the sphere is determined,and the dynamic model of the coupled system is validated through experiments.The results show that in order to reach convergence,at least four modes are required in the Galerkin discretization.Moreover,the output performance of the energy harvester strongly depends on the frequency ratio between the sphere and the piezoelectric beam.We find that at a frequency ratio of approximately 1.34,the harvester achieves a maximum average power of 190μW at a wind speed of 3.90 m/s,with the lock-in region between 2.63 and 5.30 m/s.Subsequently,the impact of wind flow direction on the electrical performance of the energy harvester is investigated in a wind tunnel,by adjusting the angle between the harvester and incoming flows ranging from 0°to 360°.The findings indicate that the harvester maintains strong and consistent performance across variable wind flow directions and speeds.Particularly within the lock-in region,the output voltage fluctuations are below 5.5%,showcasing the robustness of the design.This result points to the potential utility of this novel harvester in complex environments.Our study also provides a theoretical basis for the development of small-scale offshore wind energy harvesting technologies.
