However, the scaling process of elastic rings introduces complexities in multi-parameter geometric distortions, leading to a diminution in the predictive accuracy of the distorted similitude. To address this challenge, this study formulates a novel set of scaling laws, tailored to account for the intricate geometric distortions associated with elastic rings. The proposed scaling laws are formulated based on the intrinsic deformation characteristics of elastic rings, rather than the traditional systemic governing equations. Numerical and experimental cases are conducted to assess the efficacy and precision of the proposed scaling laws, and the obtained results are compared with those achieved by traditional methods. The outcomes demonstrate that the scaling laws put forth by this study significantly enhance the predictive capabilities for deformations of elastic rings.展开更多

文摘The sensitivity analysis investigates the effect of particles shape(made by sphere,multi-spheres or polyhedral)for various contact force models on the calibration procedure via ring shear test.Experimental shear tests were performed using a Schulze Ring Shear Tester RST-01 with spherical and cubic particles.Pre-shear stress and vertical lid position behaviour were observed using Hertz-Mindlin and Linear Spring contact models.The findings confirm the necessity to include not only the shear force but also the compress behaviour of the particles in the shear test calibration.The results clearly indicate that the position of the shear lid provides discrete element method users with an important overview of the fundamental deformation behaviour and particle displacement during the pre-shear process.The results reveal differences between particle and contact force models considering the changes due to increased shear velocity useable for different representation of real-life particulate materials.The research is intended to provide DEM modellers with general information on which parameters are affected by changing the input data for each contact force model and particle shape.These insights enhance calibration procedures in both industrial and academic settings serving as a foundation for not only time optimizing DEM models and improving their accuracy.
文摘AIM:To observe the effect of the plus power ring zone(PPRZ)area and distribution on myopia progression.METHODS:This retrospective study enrolled 137 pre-teens aged 8-12 at Taiyuan Aier Eye Hospital between 2019 and 2021.They were fitted with Ortho-K lenses for the first time due to refractive error,with a one-year follow-up period.To indicate the peripheral plus ring zone overlapping with the pupil zone(PPROPZ)accompanying PPRZ,participants were divided based on the PPROPZ to PPRZ ratio.The experimental group had 103 eyes with a PPROPZ to PPRZ ratio of≥0.2,and the control group had 103 eyes with a ratio of<0.2.Participants had a spherical diopter in the range of-6.00 D to-0.75 D,against-the-rule astigmatism less than 1.00 D,with-the-rule astigmatism less than 1.50 D,and corneal curvatures of 39.00 D to 46.00 D.They had a stable best corrected visual acuity of 0.10 LogMAR(20/25)or better when wearing orthokeratology(Ortho-K)lenses.PPRZ and PPROPZ were measured using ImageJ;corneal topography assessed corneal-related parameters,and an optical biometer measured the axial length of the eyes pre and post-one years of lens wear.RESULTS:Changes in axial length elongation were found to decrease when either the PPRZ(P<0.01)or PPROPZ(P<0.001)was increased significantly.The axial length growth was faster in the control group(0.37±0.2 mm)than in the experimental group(0.21±0.11 mm).Furthermore,we found that a larger horizontal visible iris diameter(HVID)corresponded to slower axial growth of the eye.In contrast,axial length growth showed no correlation with surface regularity index(SRI),surface asymmetry index(SAI),flat keratometry value(K_(f)),steep keratometry value(K_(s)).CONCLUSION:For orthokeratology,wearers with larger PPROPZ to PPRZ ratio usually experiences a reduction in axial length growth.The PPRZ and PPROPZ are negatively correlated with the axial length.Our findings provide a recommendation and methods for studying the myopia control mechanism through Ortho-K lenses.

文摘Landslides frequently occurred in Jurassic red strata in the Three Gorges Reservoir(TGR)region in China.The Jurassic strata consist of low mechanical strength and poor permeability of weak silty mudstone layer,which may cause slope instability during rainfall.In order to understand the strength behavior of Jurassic silty mudstone shear zone,the so-called Shizibao landslide located in Guojiaba Town,Zigui County,Three Gorges Reservoir(TGR)in China is selected as a case study.The shear strength of the silty mudstone shear zone is strongly influenced by both the water content and the normal stress.Therefore,a series of drained ring shear tests were carried out by varying the water contents(7%,12%,17%,and 20%,respectively)and normal stresses(200,300,400,and 500 kPa,respectively).The result revealed that the residual friction coefficient and residual friction angle were power function relationships with water content and normal stress.The peak cohesion of the silty mudstone slip zone increased with water content to a certain limit,above which the cohesion decreased.In contrast,the residual cohesion showed the opposite trend,indicating the cohesion recovery above a certain limit of water content.However,both the peak and residual friction angle of the silty mudstone slip zone were observed to decrease steadily with increased water content.Furthermore,the macroscopic morphological features of the shear surface showed that the sliding failure was developed under high normal stress at low water content,while discontinuous sliding surface and soil extrusion were occurred when the water content increased to a saturated degree.The localized liquefaction developed by excess pore water pressure reduced the frictional force within the shear zone.Finally,the combined effects of the slope excavation and precipitation ultimately lead to the failure of the silty mudstone slope;however,continuous rainfall is the main factor triggering sliding.

文摘Ring polymers are ubiquitous in various fields including biomaterials,drug release and gene therapy.All of these applications involve the dynamics and diffusion process of ring polymers in a confined environment.By using dynamic light scattering(DLS),we discovered a dynamical transition for charged ring polymers with increasing ring concentration in the gel matrix from a diffusive state to a non-diffusive topological frustrated state with a more compact conformation.When the ring polymer size is smaller than the mesh size of the gel matrix,the rings are diffusive at low concentration of 5 g/L.The ring diffusion coefficient in the gel matrix is an order of magnitude smaller than that of rings in solution,obeying the Ogston's model.At high ring concentration of 40 g/L,the collective dynamical behavior of the charged rings exhibits a topologically frustrated non-diffusive state,which may originate from the inter-ring threading with the external confinement from the gel matrix.Based on our previous theoretical work,we also conjectured that in such a non-diffusive state,the ring polymers might adopt a more compact conformation with the overall size exponentν=1/3.

文摘This paper presents a photonic crystal(PhC)line-defect slow-light waveguide modified by resonant rings.We introduce resonant rings into the line defect,constructing a slow-light waveguide with high normalized delay bandwidth product(NDBP)and low group velocity dispersion(GVD).We simulate,analyze,and optimize the structural parameters of this slow-light waveguide using the finite difference time domain(FDTD)method,theoretically achieving a maximum group index of 3.7,maximum bandwidth of 15.6 nm,and maximum NDBP of 0.4416 for slow-light effect.The resonant ring-modified PhC slow-light waveguide designed in this paper exhibits GVD lower than the order of 10^(−20)s^(2)/m over a normalized frequency range from 0.3554 to 0.4175.This study is expected to provide theoretical references for the study of slow-light buffering devices based on PhCs with high NDBP values.
文摘This paper mainly studies some properties of skew polynomial ring related to Morita invariance, Armendariz and (quasi)-Baer. First, we show that skew polynomial ring has no Morita invariance by the counterexample. Then we prove a necessary condition that skew polynomial ring constitutes Armendariz ring. We lastly investigate that condition of skew polynomial ring is a (quasi)-Baer ring, and verify that the conditions is necessary, but not sufficient by example and counterexample.
