文摘Background:Human skin is affected by ultraviolet rays on a daily basis,and excessive ultraviolet radiation(UVR)can lead to sunburn erythema,tanning,photoaging,and skin tumors.The combination of Astragali Radix(AR)and Anemarrhenae Rhizoma(AAR)is a common pairing in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).According to earlier studies,they possess properties capable of alleviating the adverse impacts of UVR on the skin.However,the specific actions and underlying mechanisms require further investigation.The study aims to analyze the efficacy of AR-AAR in preventing UVR-induced skin damage and to clarify the associated molecular mechanisms.Methods:Potential signaling pathways by which AR and AAR may protect against UVR-induced skin damage were identified with network pharmacology,molecular docking techniques and molecular dynamics(MD)simulation.Except the normal group,the back skin of SD rats was exposed to 1.1 mW/cm^(2) UVA combined with 0.1 mW/cm^(2) UVB daily,and the UVR skin damage model was established.Morphological features of skin tissues of different groups were discovered through Hematoxylin and Eosin(HE)staining,Masson staining,Weigert staining.ELISA was utilized to measure the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS),Interleukin 6(IL-6),Interleukin 1β(IL-1β)and Tumor necrosis factos-α(TNF-α)in skin tissues.RT-PCR and Western blot were employed to quantify the mRNA and protein contents of PI3K,AKT,and MMP-9.Results:Network pharmacology analysis predicts that AR-AAR may improve skin damage induced by UVR through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.Histological staining shows that AR-AAR can significantly reduce inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis in damaged skin.Treatment with AR-AAR(2:1)significantly reduced the expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-αand ROS in UVR-damaged rat skin.After treatment with AR-AAR(2:1),not only did the relative mRNA expression levels of PI3K and AKT and the protein expression levels of PI3K,AKT,P-PI3K,and P-AKT increase,but the mRNA and protein expression levels of MMP-9 decreased.Conclusion:The study indicate that the AR-AAR combination and its active components may mitigate UVR skin damage by modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

文摘The stator of the maglev track plays a crucial role in the operation of the maglev system.Currently,the efficiency of maglev track inspection is limited by several factors,including the large span of elevated structures,manual visual inspection,short inspection window times,and limited GPS positioning accuracy.To address these issues,this paper proposes a deep learning-based method for detecting and locating stator surface damage.This study establishes a maglev track stator surface image dataset,trains different object detection models,and compares their performance.Ultimately,YOLO and ByteTrack object tracking algorithms were chosen as the basic framework and enhanced to achieve automatic identification of high-speed maglev track stator surface damage images and track and count stator surface localization feature images.By matching the identified damaged images with their corresponding stator segment and beam segment sequence numbers,the location of the damage is pinpointed to the corresponding stator segment,enabling rapid and accurate identification and localization of complex damage to the maglev track stator surface.

文摘Drilling and blasting tunneling is a cyclic process in which tunnel rock undergoes repeated blast loading,affecting its dynamic characteristics,energy evolution,and damage progression.To explore the dynamic mechanical properties and damage mechanisms of carbonaceous slate under cyclic impact loads of varying intensities,cyclic dynamic tests are conducted using a triaxial split Hopkinson pressure bar.This study analyzes the stress-strain relationship,energy damage evolution,and macro-to-micro failure characteristics.The results show that peak stress and strain are significantly influenced by impact intensity and the number of impacts.The initial dynamic stress is positively correlated with the impact intensity,but with more impact,the dynamic stress decreases while the peak strain increases.Energy evolution follows a pattern of"slow growthfluctuating growthrapid growth,"with the crack initiation stress and its proportion decreasing.CT and SEM analyses reveal that as the impact intensity increases,failure becomes more chaotic,the fracture volume increases,and the fracture mode shifts from interlayer and intergranular to through-layer and trans-granular fractures.These findings provide an experimental basis for soft rock tunnel stability analysis.

文摘Thermal-mechanical damage and deformation at the interface between shotcrete linings and the surrounding rock of tunnels under high-temperature and variable-temperature conditions are critical to the safe construction and operation of tunnel engineering.This study investigated the thermo-mechanical damage behavior of the composite interface between alkali-resistant glass fiber-reinforced concrete(ARGFRC)and granite,focusing on a plateau railway tunnel.Laboratory triaxial tests,laser scanning,XRD analysis,numerical simulations,and theoretical analyses were employed to investigate how different initial curing temperatures and joint roughness coefficient(JRC)influence interfacial damage behavior.The results indicate that an increase in interface roughness exacerbates the structural damage at the interface.At a JRC of 19.9 and a temperature of 70℃,crack initiation in granite was notably restrained when the confining pressure rose from 7 MPa to 10 MPa.Roughness-induced stress distribution at the interface was notably altered,although this effect became less pronounced under high confining pressure conditions.Additionally,during high-temperature curing,thermal stress concentration at the tips of micro-convex protrusions on the granite surface induced microcracks in the adjacent ARGFRC matrix,followed by deformation.These findings provide practical guidelines for designing concrete support systems to ensure tunnel structural safety in high-altitude regions with harsh thermal environments.

文摘Hydraulic asphalt concrete(HAC)has been increasingly employed as an appropriate impervious structure in hydraulic and hydropower engineering.However,asphalt mortar,usually seen as the matrix of HAC composite,is particularly prone to damage under combined stress and seepage interactions,and the mesoscale investigations on the damage-seepage coupling behavior of HAC under complex stress states remain limited.This research develops a numerical three-dimensional mesoscale model composed of asphalt mortar and polyhedral aggregate to investigate the stress-damage-seepage coupling behavior in HAC.In this model,asphalt mortar yields the viscoelastic continuum damage law and aggregate obeys the Mazars’elastic-brittle damage law;simultaneously,the effective permeability coefficient of asphalt mortar is assumed to follow an exponential function of damage.The predicted deviatoric stress-strain and hydraulic gradient-seepage curves both are in good agreement with the reported experimental results,which shows the proposed model is valid and reasonable.The simulated results indicate that the damaged asphalt mortar can induce localized areas of high permeability,which in turn affects the overall impervious performance of HAC.

文摘Investigating the damage evolution of surrounding rock under thermal shock cycles is crucial for ensuring the stability of engineering rock masses.This study performed Brazilian splitting tests on granite specimens under varying temperature and cycle conditions,employing acoustic emission monitoring,digital image correlation,and three-dimensional scanning technology.A systematic analysis was conducted on the patterns of damage evolution,failure precursor,and response mechanisms under combined thermal and cyclic loading.Experimental results show that both P-wave velocity and tensile strength degrade significantly with increasing temperature and cycle count,with temperature having a more pronounced effect than cycle count.Notably,damage evolution exhibits a dual-threshold behavior in which degradation accelerates markedly above 400℃ and stabilizes after 5 thermal cycles.Fracture surfaces evolve from initially planar to rugged morphologies,with peak-valley height differences at 600℃ being approximately three times greater than those at 200℃.Furthermore,based on acoustic emission energy entropy analysis,we introduce a novel failure precursor indicator where the sustained increase and critical surge in average entropy serve as reliable early-warning signals for impending rock failure.These findings establish a solid theoretical basis and practical methodology for damage assessment and instability early-warning systems in high-temperature rock engineering.

文摘Understanding the deterioration behaviors and mechanisms of rocks under thermo-hydromechanical(THM)interactions is crucial for mitigating slope instability.In this study,the physicomechanical properties of silty mudstone subjected to THM interactions were investigated by triaxial tests.The underlying micro-mechanisms were revealed using microscopic tests.The triaxial test results indicate that the strength parameters of silty mudstone decrease by 89.50%(deformation modulus),78.15%(peak strength),70.58%(cohesion),and 48.65%(friction angle)under 16 THM cycles,a load of 300 kPa,and alternating between 0℃water immersion and 60℃drying.The SEM test results indicate that the deterioration of silty mudstone strength primarily results from hydrothermal-expansion softening and cracking driven by the TLHM interactions.The specimens manifest shear failure under confining pressure exceeding 140 kPa.Furthermore,a new constitutive model considering hydrothermalexpansion strain and non-linear deformation characteristics was developed.The discrepancy between the experimentally measured peak strength and the damage constitutive model prediction remains below 5%.The proposed model is verified to be in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results.The self-designed THM apparatus overcomes the limitations of traditional investigations,enabling simultaneous consideration of thermal,hydraulic,and mechanical interactions.

文摘As structural damage patterns and service environments become more complex,digital twin-based structural health monitoring,with its unique advantages,can compensate for the limitations of data-driven methods regarding data dependency and model interpretability.However,it still faces challenges in modeling complexity,simulation accuracy,and discrepancies between real and virtual features.This study proposes a balanced fidelity digital twin for structural damage monitoring based on Lamb wave multilevel feature enhancement and adaptive space interaction.Firstly,multilevel refined features are extracted from few-shot guided wave signals obtained in physical and digital space,and the adversarial synthetic balancing algorithm is proposed for feature enhancement.Additionally,the learning phase of the damage monitoring model based on the feature-mapping convolutional network is driven by virtual samples of readily accessible balanced fidelity in digital space.To reduce the feature distributional difference between the two spaces,an interactive transfer approach is introduced to establish a shared feature digital twin space.Overall,this study provides a feasible technique to enhance the accessibility and generalizability of digital twins for real engineering structures.

文摘Rock damage significantly affects coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical(THM)behavior in deep geothermal exploitation through changing thermal and hydrological properties of rocks.For this,a thermo-hydro-mechanical-damage(THMD)coupled model was developed to describe the coupling between rock damage and mechanical,fluid flow and heat transfer fields.The model considers rock heterogeneity,and incorporates the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and the maximum tensile stress criterion to evaluate shear and tensile damage.This numerical modeling methodology was first verified against analytical solutions and experimental results,and was then used to simulate the THMD coupling behavior in deep geothermal exploitation.A coupled numerical model was set up to simulate the geothermal fluids extraction and re-injection process in a reservoir at 1 km depth over a 7-year period.Rock damage was found to accelerate the propagation of cold fronts away from the injection well,and have a distinct effect on the performance of geothermal exploitation.When the rock damage was considered,the field injectivity increases by 8.4 times,the range of cooled regions increases by 18.6 times,and the vertical deformation changes by 1.2 times after 7 years of geothermal operations,compared to the scenario where it was not considered.Parametric studies have suggested that thermal contraction dominates the rock damage evolution,and that thermal-induced rock damage only occurs at a sufficiently large temperature difference between fluids injected and the reservoir.This work underscores the importance of accurately accounting for the damage effect on reservoir response during fluid injection activities that cause significant cooling of reservoir rocks.

文摘Large-scale geological energy storage plays a crucial role in balancing the intermittency of renewable energy.As an energy storage medium,soaked sandstone has a wide range of applications in geological energy storage.Understanding the damage characteristics in soaked sandstones is essential for ensuring the stability and longevity of these energy storage systems.This study involved multi-stage cyclic loading tests conducted on soaked sandstone to explore the damage evolution throughout the loading process.The findingsreveal several important insights:(1)The plastic hysteresis loops observed during multi-stage cyclic loading evolved from dense to sparse.An increase in stress level led to greater damage in the rock,as evidenced by an increase in accumulated peak/plastic strains.(2)Energy density and stress level are related by quadratic polynomial relationships.The elastic and dissipated energy densities are related by a linear law.The average energy storage coefficientdecreased by up to 24.1%with increasing stress amplitude,reflectingchanges in energy dynamics within the samples.(3)AE counts,amplitude,and frequency provided critical insights into rock damage and fracture patterns.The greater the loading rate and stress amplitude,the lower the proportion of high-amplitude,high-peak frequency,and shear-type fractures.Increasing stress amplitude caused a maximum 16.63%reduction in the AE bvalue,indicating shifts in fracture behavior under varying stress conditions.(4)The increase in loading rate and stress amplitude promotes the transformation of micropores and mesopores to macropores/microcracks.(5)Damage variables,definedin terms of cumulative dissipation energy,aligned closely with the fatigue damage model under multi-stage cyclic loading.Accelerated damage primarily occurred during the finalstages of fatigue loading,highlighting critical periods in the degradation of soaked sandstones.This study can offer guidance for designing operational parameters for energy storage geological bodies dominated by soaked sandstones.

文摘Reservoir-induced landslides in China's Three Gorges Reservoir area are prone to tensile cracks due to the influenceof their own weight and fluctuationsin water levels.The presence of cracks indicates that the tensile stress in the area has exceeded the tensile strength of the soil,leading to local instability.To explore the impact of tensile failure behavior on the stability and failure modes of reservoir landslides,the Huangtupo Riverside Slump#1 is taken as a case study.By considering local tensile failure,potential tensile cracks are incorporated into the analysis via the limit equilibrium method and reliability theory.The reliability of landslides under different tensile failure scenarios is quantified.Strain-softening characteristics of the soil are combined to further analyze the failure transmission path of the landslide.Finally,these potential failure modes were validated through physical model tests.The results show that cracks developing at rear positions reduce the stability of the slope and increase the probability of instability.During the destruction process,retrogressive failures with multiple sliding surfaces are likely to occur.However,tensile failure at the forefront reduces the likelihood of an individual slide mass descending.Progressive failure results in both regular and skip transmission patterns.Additionally,cracks and water level changes can also lead to shifts in the positions of the most dangerous blocks.Therefore,in practical landslide analysis and prevention,it is necessary to consider local tensile damage and identify potential tensile crack locations in advance to optimize prevention measures and accurately evaluate landslide risk.

文摘This study investigated the effects of periodic high-frequency stress disturbances on the creep behavior of sandstone and analyzed the microstructural changes using nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)technology.High-frequency disturbance creep experiments were conducted on sandstone under different disturbance frequencies,disturbance cycles and loading stresses,and the following findings were obtained.Firstly,with the increase of loading stress and disturbance cycles,the total porosity increments,and damage value of sandstone increase,while the fractal dimension of sandstone pore structure presents the opposite trend.Secondly,during the disturbance creep process,the volumes of all three types of pores increase,but the proportion of micropores(T_(2)<10 ms)decreases,while the proportion of mesopores(10 ms<T_(2)<100 ms)and macropores(T_(2)>100 ms)increases.Thirdly,the fractal dimension difference has a good linear relationship with the damage,strain and porosity increment of sandstone during the disturbance creep process.Finally,the higher the disturbance frequency,the smaller the creep strain and creep strain rate during the steady-state creep stage.The study offers valuable theoretical insights for understanding rock creep behavior in complex stress environments.

文摘Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to study the effect of chemical short-range order(CSRO)on the primary radiation damage in TiVTaNb high-entropy alloys(HEAs).We have performed displacement cascade simulations to explore the CSRO effect on the generation and evolution behaviors of irradiation defects.The results demonstrate that CSRO can suppress the formation of Frenkel pairs in TiVTaNb HEAs,with the suppression effect becoming more pronounced as the degree of CSRO increases.CSRO can change the types of interstitial defects generated during cascade collisions.Specifically,as the degree of CSRO increases,the proportion of Ti-related interstitials shows a marked enhancement,primarily evidenced by a significant rise in Ti–Ti dumbbells accompanied by a corresponding decrease in Ti–V dumbbells.CSRO exhibits negligible influence on defect clustering and the nucleation and evolution of dislocation loops.Regardless of CSRO conditions,TiVTaNb HEAs preserve exceptional radiation tolerance throughout the cascade damage process,suggesting that the intrinsic properties of this multi-principal element system dominate its radiation response.These findings provide fundamental insights into the CSRO effect on defect formation and evolution behaviors in HEAs,which may provide new design strategies for high-entropy alloys.

文摘The interrupted fatigue test method was utilized to investigate the damage evolution mechanism of the notch high-cycle fatigue(NHCF)in Ti-55531 alloy with a multilevel lamellar microstructure.The results reveal that significant microvoids and microcracks predominantly initiate at α/β interfaces under various notch root radii(R).Notably,even under larger R(0.75 mm),mutual interactions of stacking faults(SFs)−deformation twins,twins−twins,and SFs−SFs are observed.Furthermore,with decreasing R(0.34 and 0.14 mm),the volume fraction of SFs escalates significantly and twins are almost absent.Moreover,activated prismatic slip system decreases with a decrease in Schmidt factor and with the further decrease in R.Finally,strain localization near α/β interfaces contributes to the initiation of fatigue microcracks.

文摘In this study,the mechanism and characteristics of the responseαparticles and the damage caused by them in CMOS active pixel(APS)sensors were investigated.A detection and compensation algorithm for dead pixels caused byαparticle ionizing radiation was proposed,and the effects of dead-pixel compensation algorithms were compared and analyzed under different parameter conditions.The experimental results show thatαparticle response signal has highest accuracy at 9 dB gain,with an obvious“target-ring”distribution.With increasing cumulative dose,the CMOS APS pedestal tends to saturation while dead pixels continue increasing.Though some pixel damage recovers through natural annealing,the dead-to-noise ratio increases with irradiation time,reaching 32.54%after 72 h.A hierarchical clustering dead-pixel detection method is proposed,categorizing pixels into two types:those within and outside the response event.A classification compensation strategy combining mean and majority filtering is proposed.This compensation algorithm can address dead-pixel interference without affectingαparticle radiation response data.When iterated multiple times and with integration time exceeding 6.31 ms,the number of dead pixels can be effectively reduced.
