Due to the complexity of casing fragment related behavior such as embedment, perforation and ricochet, it may be insufficient to use equivalent triangular pressure loading in fragment impact simulations. This simplified method may over- or under-predict the target response. Recently, a procedure using contact techniques has been proposed to overcome such difficulties. It has been shown that the new method has the inherent capability in modeling the multi-piece and multi-hit fragment impact problems in a more realistic way. To investigate the applicability of the proposed method to simulations involving multi-layer penetration, the selected problems of fragment impact on multi-layer targets are described in this paper. It is demonstrated that this method is capable of predicting the complicated multi-layer structural response caused by fragment impact and penetration. Modeling procedures and some technical issues are also discussed.展开更多

文摘Compared to the well-studied two-dimensional(2D)ferroelectricity,the appearance of 2D antiferroelectricity is much rarer,where local dipoles from the nonequivalent sublattices within 2D monolayers are oppositely oriented.Using NbOCl_(2) monolayer with competing ferroelectric(FE)and antiferroelectric(AFE)phases as a 2D material platform,we demonstrate the emergence of intrinsic antiferroelectricity in NbOCl_(2) monolayer under experimentally accessible shear strain,along with new functionality associated with electric field-induced AFE-to-FE phase transition.Specifically,the complex configuration space accommodating FE and AFE phases,polarization switching kinetics,and finite temperature thermodynamic properties of 2D NbOCl_(2) are all accurately predicted by large-scale molecular dynamics simulations based on deep learning interatomic potential model.Moreover,room temperature stable antiferroelectricity with low polarization switching barrier and one-dimensional collinear polarization arrangement is predicted in shear-deformed NbOCl_(2) monolayer.The transition from AFE to FE phase in 2D NbOCl_(2) can be triggered by a low critical electric field,leading to a double polarization–electric(P–E)loop with small hysteresis.A new type of optoelectronic device composed of AFE-NbOCl_(2) is proposed,enabling electric“writing”and nonlinear optical“reading”logical operation with fast operation speed and low power consumption.
文摘Analysis of the environmental and economic performance of fishing vessels has received limited attention compared with other ship types despite their notable contribution to global greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions.This study evaluates the carbon footprint(CF)and economic viability of a liquefied natural gas(LNG)-fueled fishing vessel,using real engine operation simulations to provide precise and dynamic evaluation of fuel consumption and GHG emissions.Operational profiles are obtained through the utilization of onboard monitoring systems,whereas engine performance is simulated using the 1D/0D AVL Boost^(TM)model.Life cycle assessment(LCA)is conducted to quantify the environmental impact,whereas life cycle cost assessment(LCCA)is performed to analyze the profitability of LNG as an alternative fuel.The potential impact of the future fuel price uncertainties is addressed using Monte Carlo simulations.The LCA findings indicate that LNG has the potential to reduce the CF of the vessel by 14%to 16%,in comparison to a diesel power system configuration that serves as the baseline scenario.The LCCA results further indicate that the total cost of an LNG-powered ship is lower by 9.5%-13.8%,depending on the share of LNG and pilot fuels.This finding highlights the potential of LNG to produce considerable environmental benefits while addressing economic challenges under diverse operational and fuel price conditions.

文摘High intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)therapy is an effective method in clinical treatment of tumors,in order to explore the bio-heat conduction mechanism of in multi-layer media by concave spherical transducer,temperature field induced by this kind of transducer in multi-layer media will be simulated through solving Pennes equation with finite difference method,and the influence of initial sound pressure,absorption coefficient,and thickness of different layers of biological tissue as well as thermal conductivity parameter on sound focus and temperature distribution will be analyzed,respectively.The results show that the temperature in focus area increases faster while the initial sound pressure and thermal conductivity increase.The absorption coefficient is smaller,the ultrasound intensity in the focus area is bigger,and the size of the focus area is increasing.When the thicknesses of different layers of tissue change,the focus position changes slightly,but the sound intensity of the focus area will change obviously.The temperature in focus area will rise quickly before reaching a threshold,and then the temperature will keep in the threshold range.

文摘Asphalt mixture pavement reheating is one of the important steps in hot in-place recycling(HIR).To improve the heating speed of asphalt pavement in HIR,based on the numerical analysis model of asphalt mixture heating process,a new multi-layer low-temperature heating method(MLHM)was proposed.Considering input heat flux,the thermal capacity and thermal resistance of asphalt mixture,the heat transfer model was established based on energy conservation law.By heating the asphalt mixture in layers,it changes the situation that the heat energy can only be input from the upper surface of the asphalt mixture pavement.Through the simulation of the heating method of asphalt mixture in the existing technology,the result shows that the existing heating methods lead to serious aging or charring of the asphalt mixture.By MLHM,the upper and the bottom of the asphalt mixture are heated at the same time,and the heating temperature is lower than other heat methods,which not only reduces the heating thickness and increases the heating area of the asphalt mixture pavement,but also improves the heating speed,saves the energy resource and ensures the heating quality.Especially,by MLHM,the heating uniformity is better and speed is faster.
文摘To further understand the dynamic deformation and impact resistance of thin-plate hull structure under impulse wave,the deformation of multi-layer steel plates under underwater impulsive loading has been studied by AUTODYN V6.1.In order to verify the validity of numerical methods,the experimental results are compared with the simulation results.The multi-layer plate types include 1 mm + 3 mm,2 mm + 2 mm,3 mm + 1 mm double-layer,and 4 mm monolayer annealed 304 stainless steel plates.Each type of target plates has four flyer plate's velocities.There are 150,200,250 m /s and 300 m /s.The pressure wave histories in water and deformation of specimens have been predicted and measured by numerical simulations.The simulation results demonstrate that the protective capacity of 2mm + 2mm double-layer annealed 304 stainless steel plates is the best one in this velocity range of flyer plate,as the integral deformation is the smallest among the four structure types.

文摘This article investigates the characteristics of shock wave overpressure generated by multi-layer composite charge under different detonation modes.Combining dimensional analysis and the explosion mechanism of the charge,a peak overpressure prediction model for the composite charge under singlepoint detonation and simultaneous detonation was established.The effects of the charge structure and initiation method on the overpressure field characteristics were investigated in AUTODYN simulation.The accuracy of the prediction model and the reliability of the numerical simulation method were subsequently verified in a series of static explosion experiments.The results reveal that the mass of the inner charge was the key factor determining the peak overpressure of the composite charge under single-point detonation.The peak overpressure in the radial direction improved apparently with an increase in the aspect ratio of the charge.The overpressure curves in the axial direction exhibited a multi-peak phenomenon,and the secondary peak overpressure even exceeded the primary peak at distances of 30D and 40D(where D is the charge diameter).The difference in peak overpressure among azimuth angles of 0-90°gradually decreased with an increase in the propagation distance of the shock wave.The coupled effect of the detonation energy of the inner and outer charge under simultaneous detonation improved the overpressure in both radial and axial directions.The difference in peak overpressure obtained from model prediction and experimental measurements was less than 16.4%.

文摘This paper studies the binder droplet injection process in the 3DP technique.The mathematical model of the binder penetration process for multi-nozzle and multi-layer in 3DP technique is established,by using the conservation Level set method.According to the two-dimensional plane model of three-dimensional spatial structure of sand bed,the construction method of an equivalent cylindrical mapping infiltration model is proposed to represent the porosity of the model in the two-dimensional plane,which is exactly the same as that in the three-dimensional space,as well as closer to the arrangement of the three-dimensional space,and to realize the differentiation between the pores and the throats.The method of spraying droplets alternately by multiple nozzles simulates the staggered arrangement of multiple array-type nozzles and prints the current layer completely at one time.The numerical simulation of multi-layer penetration process is realized by using the method of continuous multi-simulation.The simulation model of the binder penetration process by using multi-nozzle and multi-layer is established to simulate the whole process of the binder from the nozzle to impacting on the sand bed and then to penetrating into the sand bed,which reflects the complete penetration process and predicts the sand agglomeration.

文摘Solar energy has always been a kind of energy with large reserves and wide application.It is well utilized through solar absorbers.In our study,the finite difference time domain method(FDTD)is used to simulate the absorber composed of refractory metal materials,and its absorption performance and thermal emission performance are obtained.The ultra-wide band of 200 nm-3000 nm reaches 95.93%absorption efficiency,of which the bandwidth absorption efficiency of2533 nm(200 nm-2733 nm)is greater than 90%.The absorption efficiency in the whole spectrum range(200 nm-2733 nm)is 97.17%on average.The multilayer nanodisk structure of the absorber allows it to undergo strong surface plasmon resonance and near-field coupling when irradiated by incident light.The thermal emission performance of the absorber enables it to also be applied to the thermal emitter.The thermal emission efficiency of 95.37%can be achieved at a high temperature of up to 1500 K.Moreover,the changes of polarization and incident angle do not cause significant changes in absorption.Under the gradual change of polarization angle(0°-90°),the absorption spectrum maintains a high degree of consistency.As the incident angle increases from 0°to 60°,there is still 85%absorption efficiency.The high absorption efficiency and excellent thermal radiation intensity of ultra-wideband enable it to be deeply used in energy absorption and conversion applications.
文摘Cased explosives generate highly energetic fragments as their casing breaks up. Due to the complexity of casing fragment related behavior such as embedment, perforation and ricochet, it may be insufficient to use equivalent triangular pressure loading in fragment impact simulations. This simplified method may over- or under-predict the target response. Recently, a procedure using contact techniques has been proposed to overcome such difficulties. It has been shown that the new method has the inherent capability in modeling the multi-piece and multi-hit fragment impact problems in a more realistic way. To investigate the applicability of the proposed method to simulations involving multi-layer penetration, the selected problems of fragment impact on multi-layer targets are described in this paper. It is demonstrated that this method is capable of predicting the complicated multi-layer structural response caused by fragment impact and penetration. Modeling procedures and some technical issues are also discussed.

文摘The metal droplets deposition method(MDDM)is a rapid prototyping technology,implemented via metallurgy bonding within droplets.The anisotropy of heat transfer and re-melting is caused by an asymmetric deposition process.A lattice Boltzmann method(LBM)model is established to predict the heat transfer and phase change in the multi-layer deposition.The prediction model is verified by the experimental temperature profiles in existing literature.The monitoring points are set to compare the temperature profiles,and decoupling analyze the heat transfer mechanism in different positions.The negative relationships between the re-molten volume of the temperature difference,as well as the influence of the dispositive position and the relative position of the adjacent component are observed and analyzed under the heat conduction.This work is helpful to choose the appropriate temperature conditions and the optimal dispositive method.
