文摘The huge impact kinetic energy cannot be quickly dissipated by the energy-absorbing structure and transferred to the other vehicle through the car body structure,which will cause structural damage and threaten the lives of the occupants.Therefore,it is necessary to understand the laws of energy conversion,dissipation and transfer during train collisions.This study proposes a multi-layer progressive analysis method of energy flow during train collisions,considering the characteristics of the train.In this method,the train collision system is divided into conversion,dissipation,and transfer layers from the perspective of the train,collision interface,and car body structure to analyze the energy conversion,dissipation and transfer characteristics.Taking the collision process of a rail train as an example,a train collision energy transfer path analysis model was established based on power flow theory.The results show that when the maximum mean acceleration of the vehicle meets the standard requirements,the jerk may exceed the allowable limit of the human body,and there is a risk of injury to the occupants of a secondary collision.The decay rate of the collision energy along the direction of train operation reaches 79%.As the collision progresses,the collision energy gradually converges in the structure with holes,and the structure deforms when the gathered energy is greater than the maximum energy the structure can withstand.The proposed method helps to understand the train collision energy flow law and provides theoretical support for the train crashworthiness design in the future.

文摘A triple-band miniaturized end-fire antenna based on the odd modes of spoof surface plasmonic polariton(SSPP)waveguide resonator is proposed in this paper.To meet the ever increasing demand for more communication channels and less antenna sizes,multi-band antennas are currently under intensive investigation.By a novel feeding method,three odd modes are excited on an SSPP waveguide resonator,which performs as an end-fire antenna operating at three bands,7.15-7.26 GHz,11.6-12.2 GHz and 13.5-13.64 GHz.It exhibits reasonably high and stable maximum gains of 5.26 dBi,7.97 dBi and 10.1 dBi and maximum efficiencies of 64%,92%and 98%at the three bands,respectively.Moreover,in the second band,the main beam angle shows a frequency dependence with a total scanning angle of 19°.The miniaturized triple-band antenna has a great potential in wireless communication systems,satellite communication and radar systems.

文摘The growing incidence of cyberattacks necessitates a robust and effective Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)for enhanced network security.While conventional IDSs can be unsuitable for detecting different and emerging attacks,there is a demand for better techniques to improve detection reliability.This study introduces a new method,the Deep Adaptive Multi-Layer Attention Network(DAMLAN),to boost the result of intrusion detection on network data.Due to its multi-scale attention mechanisms and graph features,DAMLAN aims to address both known and unknown intrusions.The real-world NSL-KDD dataset,a popular choice among IDS researchers,is used to assess the proposed model.There are 67,343 normal samples and 58,630 intrusion attacks in the training set,12,833 normal samples,and 9711 intrusion attacks in the test set.Thus,the proposed DAMLAN method is more effective than the standard models due to the consideration of patterns by the attention layers.The experimental performance of the proposed model demonstrates that it achieves 99.26%training accuracy and 90.68%testing accuracy,with precision reaching 98.54%on the training set and 96.64%on the testing set.The recall and F1 scores again support the model with training set values of 99.90%and 99.21%and testing set values of 86.65%and 91.37%.These results provide a strong basis for the claims made regarding the model’s potential to identify intrusion attacks and affirm its relatively strong overall performance,irrespective of type.Future work would employ more attempts to extend the scalability and applicability of DAMLAN for real-time use in intrusion detection systems.

文摘Research on supercontinuum sources on silicon has made significant progress in the past few decades.However,conventional approaches to broaden the spectral bandwidth often rely on complex and critical dispersion engineering by optimizing the core thickness or introducing the cladding with special materials and structures.We propose and demonstrate supercontinuum generation using long-periodgrating(LPG)waveguides on silicon with a C-band pump.The LPG waveguide is introduced for quasi-phase matching,and the generated supercontinuum spectrum is improved greatly with grating-induced dispersive waves.In addition,the demonstrated LPG waveguide shows a low propagation loss comparable with regular silicon photonic waveguides without gratings.In experiments,when using a 1550-nm 75-fs pulse pump with a pulse energy of 200 pJ,the supercontinuum spectrum generated with the present LPG waveguide shows an ultrabroad extent from 1150 to 2300 nm,which is much wider by 200 nm than that achieved by dispersionengineered uniform silicon photonic waveguides on the same chip.This provides a promising option for on-chip broadband light source for silicon photonic systems.

文摘The phase-controlled single-photon transport properties of a giant atom coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide are investigated.The coupling between the giant atom and the waveguide is modeled as a multi-point interaction.The coupling strengths between the giant atom and the waveguide are represented as complex numbers with associated phases.Analytical expressions for the scattering amplitudes are obtained using the real-space Hamiltonian method.The results show that the characteristics of the scattering spectra,including the positions of peaks(or dips)and the full width at half maximum,can be tuned by adjusting the phase difference between the coupling strengths.Further calculations reveal that the scattering spectra can be either super-broadened or sub-broadened.The conditions for achieving perfect nonreciprocal single-photon transport in the Markovian regime are also discussed.Moreover,we demonstrate the control of single-photon transport through phase differences in the non-Markovian regime.Our results may find applications in the design of quantum devices operating at the single-photon level,based on waveguide quantum electrodynamics.

文摘In practical engineering construction,multi-layered barriers containing geomembranes are extensively applied to retard the migration of pollutants.However,the associated analytical theory on pollutants diffusion still needs to be further improved.In this work,general analytical solutions are derived for one-dimensional diffusion of degradable organic contaminant(DOC)in the multi-layered media containing geomembranes under a time-varying concentration boundary condition,where the variable substitution and separated variable approaches are employed.These analytical solutions with clear expressions can be used not only to study the diffusion behaviors of DOC in bottom and vertical composite barrier systems,but also to verify other complex numerical models.The proposed general analytical solutions are then fully validated via three comparative analyses,including comparisons with the experimental measurements,an existing analytical solution,and a finite-difference solution.Ultimately,the influences of different factors on the composite cutoff wall’s(CCW,which consists of two soil-bentonite layers and a geomembrane)service performance are investigated through a composite vertical barrier system as the application example.The findings obtained from this investigation can provide scientific guidance for the barrier performance evaluation and the engineering design of CCWs.This application example also exhibits the necessity and effectiveness of the developed analytical solutions.

文摘Diffractive optical neural networks(DONNs)have exhibited the advantages of parallelization,high speed,and low consumption.However,the existing DONNs based on free-space diffractive optical elements are bulky and unsteady.In this study,we propose a planar-waveguide integrated diffractive neural network chip architecture.The three diffractive layers are engraved on the same side of a quartz wafer.The three-layer chip is designed with 32-mm3 processing space and enables a computing speed of 3.1×109 Tera operations per second.The results show that the proposed chip achieves 73.4%experimental accuracy for the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology database while showing the system’s robustness in a cycle test.The consistency of experiments is 88.6%,and the arithmetic mean standard deviation of the results is~4.7%.The proposed chip architecture can potentially revolutionize high-resolution optical processing tasks with high robustness.

文摘Compared to existing deformation monitoring methods,landslide early warning can be achieved by detecting precursor signals of slope instability through acoustic emission(AE).Acquisition of AE signals generated by active waveguide facilitates monitoring the development of shear surface and provides a foundation for quantifying landslide movement.Backfill particles are the dominant AE sources in active waveguides,typically chosen from materials such as gravels or sands.However,the influence of particle sizes and gradings has not been clarified in existing laboratory models or field monitoring.This research introduces a direct shear test for active waveguide,where spherical glass beads are employed to precisely regulate the size and grading of backfill particles.A programmable logic controller maintains a constant shearing speed and equivalent total deformation.Through a comprehensive analysis of AE,deformation,and mechanical measurements,this study evaluates the impact of particle size and grading on monitoring capabilities.The findings suggest that the AE mechanism in glass beads is attributed to particle collision and dislocation,leading to AE events characterized by low amplitude and energy levels.The percentage of high-amplitude AE events rises steadily with the progression of shearing.The correlation between shear force,cumulative ring down count(RDC)of AE,and deformation conforms to a power function,with the exponent relying on particle size,grading,and shearing speed.Notably,the combination of small particles and low shearing speeds can yield the maximum cumulative RDC,while selecting particles with uneven grading will significantly enhance the intensity of AE signals from active waveguide.

文摘This study proposes a general imperfect thermal contact model to predict the thermal contact resistance at the interface among multi-layered composite structures.Based on the Green-Lindsay(GL)thermoelastic theory,semi analytical solutions of temperature increment and displacement of multi-layered composite structures are obtained by using the Laplace transform method,upon which the effects of thermal resistance coefficient,partition coefficient,thermal conductivity ratio and heat capacity ratio on the responses are studied.The results show that the generalized imperfect thermal contact model can realistically describe the imperfect thermal contact problem.Accordingly,it may degenerate into other thermal contact models by adjusting the thermal resistance coefficient and partition coefficient.

文摘Miniaturized erbium-doped waveguide amplifiers attracted great interests in recent decades due to their high gain-efficiency and function-scalability in the telecom C-band.In this work,an erbium-doped thin film lithium niobate waveguide amplifier achieving>10 dB off-chip(fiber-to-fiber)net gain and>20 mW fiber-output amplified power is demonstrated,thanks to the low-propagation-loss waveguides and robust waveguide edge-couplers prepared by the photolithography assisted chemomechanical etching technique.Systematic investigation on the fabricated waveguide amplifiers reveals remarkable optical gain around the peak wavelength of 1532 nm as well as the low fiber-coupling loss of-1.2 dB/facet.A fiber Bragg-grating based waveguide laser is further demonstrated using the fabricated waveguide amplifier as the external gain chip,which generates>2 mW off-chip power continuous-wave lasing around the gain peak at 1532 nm.The unambiguous demonstration of fiber-to-fiber net gain of the erbium-doped thinfilm lithium niobate(TFLN)waveguide amplifier as well as its external gain chip application will benefit diverse fields demanding scalable gain elements with highspeed tunability.

文摘Low Earth Orbit(LEO)mega-constellation networks,exemplified by Starlink,are poised to play a pivotal role in future mobile communication networks,due to their low latency and high capacity.With the massively deployed satellites,ground users now can be covered by multiple visible satellites,but also face complex handover issues with such massive high-mobility satellites in multi-layer.The end-to-end routing is also affected by the handover behavior.In this paper,we propose an intelligent handover strategy dedicated to multi-layer LEO mega-constellation networks.Firstly,an analytic model is utilized to rapidly estimate the end-to-end propagation latency as a key handover factor to construct a multi-objective optimization model.Subsequently,an intelligent handover strategy is proposed by employing the Dueling Double Deep Q Network(D3QN)-based deep reinforcement learning algorithm for single-layer constellations.Moreover,an optimal crosslayer handover scheme is proposed by predicting the latency-jitter and minimizing the cross-layer overhead.Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method in the multi-layer LEO mega-constellation,showcasing reductions of up to 8.2%and 59.5%in end-to-end latency and jitter respectively,when compared to the existing handover strategies.
