The amplitude difference （I1 - I2） of the set pulse is proved to be a crucial parameter for set programming. We observe and analyze the cell characteristics with different I1 - I2 by means of thermal simulations and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, which reveal that an incomplete set programming will occur when the proposed slow-down pulse is set with an improperly high I1 - I2. This will lead to an amorphous residue in the active region. We also discuss the programming method to avoid the set performance degradations.展开更多

文摘Compressed air energy storage(CAES)caverns transformed from horseshoe-shaped roadways in abandoned coal mines still face unclear mechanisms of force transfer,especially in the presence of initial damage in the surrounding rock.The shape and size of the initial damage area as well as their effect on cavern stability remain unclear.Due to the complex geometry and multiphysical couplings,traditional numerical algorithms encounter problems of nonconvergence and low accuracy.These challenges can be addressed through numerical simulations with robust convergence and high accuracy.In this study,the damage area shapes of a CAES cavern are first computed using the concept of damage levels.Then,an iteration algorithm is improved using the generalization a method through the error control and one-way coupling loop for fully coupling equations.Finally,the stability of the CAES cavern with different damage zone shapes is numerically simulated in the thermodynamic process.It is found that this improved algorithm can greatly enhance numerical convergence and accuracy.The nonuniformity of the elastic modulus has a significant impact on the mechanical responses of the CAES cavern.The cavern shape with different damage zones has significant impacts on cavern stability.The initial damage area can delay the responses of temperature and stress.It induces variations of temperature in the range of approximately 1.2 m and variations of stress in the range of 1.5 m from the damage area.

文摘In this paper,we develop an advanced computational framework for the topology optimization of orthotropic materials using meshless methods.The approximation function is established based on the improved moving least squares(IMLS)method,which enhances the efficiency and stability of the numerical solution.The numerical solution formulas are derived using the improved element-free Galerkin(IEFG)method.We introduce the solid isotropic microstructures with penalization(SIMP)model to formulate a mathematical model for topology opti-mization,which effectively penalizes intermediate densities.The optimization problem is defined with the numerical solution formula and volume fraction as constraints.The objective function,which is the minimum value of flexibility,is optimized iteratively using the optimization criterion method to update the design variables efficiently and converge to an optimal solution.Sensitivity analysis is performed using the adjoint method,which provides accurate and efficient gradient information for the optimization algorithm.We validate the proposed framework through a series of numerical examples,including clamped beam,cantilever beam,and simply supported beam made of orthotropic materials.The convergence of the objective function is demonstrated by increasing the number of iterations.Additionally,the stability of the iterative process is analyzed by examining the fluctuation law of the volume fraction.By adjusting the parameters to an appropriate range,we achieve the final optimization results of the IEFG method without the checkerboard phenomenon.Comparative studies between the Element-Free Galerkin(EFG)and IEFG methods reveal that both methods yield consistent optimization results under identical parameter settings.However,the IEFG method significantly reduces computational time,highlighting its efficiency and suitability for orthotropic materials.

文摘The stability of the tunnel portal slope is crucial for ensuring safe tunnel construction.Thus,a sound stability evaluation is of significance.Given the unique geological characteristics of tunnel portal slopes,it is necessary to establish a specific evaluation indicator system that differs from those used for ordinary slopes.Based on the unascertained measure method,uncertainties in the indicator are addressed by introducing the left and right half cloud asymmetric cloud model to optimize the linear membership function.The subjectivity of confidence criterion level identification is also improved by using the Euclidean distance method.Thus,a stability evaluation model for the tunnel portal slope is established based on the improved unascertained measure method.Finally,using the collected tunnel portal slope data,the results of four evaluation methods are compared with the safety factor levels.The evaluation methods include the traditional unascertained measure method,the method improved by using the left and right half cloud asymmetric cloud model,the method improved by using the Euclidean distance method,and the method improved by using both the left and right half cloud asymmetric cloud model and the Euclidean distance method.The results show that the accuracy rates of these four methods are 50%,55%,85%,and 90%,respectively.Among them,the joint improvement method has the slightest deviation,with only one level,while the other three methods had deviations of two levels.This result verifies the stability and effectiveness of the joint improvement method,providing a reference for tunnel portal slope stability evaluation.

文摘In order to obtain stable interval Q factor, by analyzing the spectrum of monitoring wavelet and down-going wavelet of zero-offset VSP data and referring the spectrum expression of Ricker wavelet, we propose a new expression of source wavelet spectrum. Basing on the new expression, we present improved amplitude spectral fitting and spectral ratio methods for interval Q inversion based on zero-offset VSP data, and the sequence for processing the zero-offset VSP data. Subsequently, we apply the proposed methods to real zero-offset VSP data, and carry out prestack inverse Q filtering to zero-offset VSP data and surface seismic data for amplitude compensation with the estimated Q value.

文摘Considering magneto-electro-elastic thin plate, the von Karman plate theory of large deflection and the geometric nonlinearity, the mathematical model of nonlinear undamped forced vibration is established. Making use of the improved Lindstedt-Poincare （L-P） method, the undamped forced vibration problem is solved, and the amplitude-frequency response equation of thin plate is obtained. Furthermore, the amplitude frequency response curves of system under different condi- tions are obtained by numerical simulation. The results show that the thickness of the plate, mechanical excitation, parame- ter e, pure piezoelectric material of BaTiO3, pure piezomagnetic material of CoFe2 04, different magneto-electro-elastic ma- terials of BaTiO3/CoFe2 04 and Terfenol-D/PZT will have an impact on the system frequency response. The main effects in- volve principal resonance interval, spring stiffness characteristic and amplitude jumping phenomena.

文摘[Objective] To introduce an improved method for DNA extraction from the faeces of red deer. [Method] Based on the traditional method of CTAB lysis, we proposed an improved DNA extraction method according to the characteristics of red deer faeces. [Result] This improved method extracted high-quality fecal DNA from Tianshan red deer and amplified the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. With the muscle and fur DNA of red deer as the control, the sequencing results further con- firmed the reliability of the method. [Conclusion] The method requires no proteinase K in the process of extraction, and the extracted DNA can be used for PCR ampli- fication directly without the purification of DNA purification kit, thus, it is cost-saving.
