However, existing mechanical models predominantly focus on macroscale compliance while neglecting grain-scale compliant motion. Moreover, abrasive grains are typically idealized as regular shapes, overlooking the inherent stochasticity of real grain geometries. This study proposes a shapeequivalence method for modeling stochastic abrasive grains and develops a multiscale compliant force model for RBG. Specifically, an individual grain is represented as a polygonal pyramid with stochastic edges that is mathematically equivalent to a cone;this method unifies the treatment of grain geometries and streamlines the modeling process. The mathematical equivalence relationship for random grain shapes is further derived based on a grain-compliant contact model. By integrating grain geometric characteristics and progressive grain wear, an analytical mechanical model that captures both the static contact force and dynamic grinding force is established, thereby describing the transition from grain-workpiece compliant interaction to belt-workpiece elastic contact. Grinding experiments were conducted using abrasive belts with different grain shape distributions to validate the model. The results demonstrated reliable predictions of the tangential grinding force and its component characteristics. Additional analyses were performed to reveal how the tangential grinding force varies with wear time and grinding parameters.展开更多

文摘A new method was proposed for preparing AZ31/1060 composite plates with a corrugated interface,which involved cold-pressing a corrugated surface on the Al plate and then hot-pressing the assembled Mg/Al plate.The results show that cold-pressing produces intense plastic deformation near the corrugated surface of the Al plate,which promotes dynamic recrystallization of the Al substrate near the interface during the subsequent hot-pressing.In addition,the initial corrugation on the surface of the Al plate also changes the local stress state near the interface during hot pressing,which has a large effect on the texture components of the substrates near the corrugated interface.The construction of the corrugated interface can greatly enhance the shear strength by 2−4 times due to the increased contact area and the strong“mechanical gearing”effect.Moreover,the mechanical properties are largely depended on the orientation relationship between corrugated direction and loading direction.

文摘Accurate mechanical modeling is essential for robotic belt grinding(RBG), a process characterized by compliant contact mechanisms that make force prediction particularly challenging. However, existing mechanical models predominantly focus on macroscale compliance while neglecting grain-scale compliant motion. Moreover, abrasive grains are typically idealized as regular shapes, overlooking the inherent stochasticity of real grain geometries. This study proposes a shapeequivalence method for modeling stochastic abrasive grains and develops a multiscale compliant force model for RBG. Specifically, an individual grain is represented as a polygonal pyramid with stochastic edges that is mathematically equivalent to a cone;this method unifies the treatment of grain geometries and streamlines the modeling process. The mathematical equivalence relationship for random grain shapes is further derived based on a grain-compliant contact model. By integrating grain geometric characteristics and progressive grain wear, an analytical mechanical model that captures both the static contact force and dynamic grinding force is established, thereby describing the transition from grain-workpiece compliant interaction to belt-workpiece elastic contact. Grinding experiments were conducted using abrasive belts with different grain shape distributions to validate the model. The results demonstrated reliable predictions of the tangential grinding force and its component characteristics. Additional analyses were performed to reveal how the tangential grinding force varies with wear time and grinding parameters.

文摘Shape memory polymers used in 4D printing only had one permanent shape after molding,which limited their applications in requiring multiple reconstructions and multifunctional shapes.Furthermore,the inherent stability of the triazine ring structure within cyanate ester(CE)crosslinked networks after molding posed significant challenges for both recycling,repairing,and degradation of resin.To address these obstacles,dynamic thiocyanate ester(TCE)bonds and photocurable group were incorporated into CE,obtaining the recyclable and 3D printable CE covalent adaptable networks(CANs),denoted as PTCE1.5.This material exhibits a Young's modulus of 810 MPa and a tensile strength of 50.8 MPa.Notably,damaged printed PTCE1.5 objects can be readily repaired through reprinting and interface rejoining by thermal treatment.Leveraging the solid-state plasticity,PTCE1.5 also demonstrated attractive shape memory ability and permanent shape reconfigurability,enabling its reconfigurable 4D printing.The printed PTCE1.5 hinges and a main body were assembled into a deployable and retractable satellite model,validating its potential application as a controllable component in the aerospace field.Moreover,printed PTCE1.5 can be fully degraded into thiol-modified intermediate products.Overall,this material not only enriches the application range of CE resin,but also provides a reliable approach to addressing environmental issue.

文摘Modern-day human life is absolutely dependent upon the food that we derive from our crop plants. We eat grains, fruits, roots, tubers and other structures, all of which are constructed via coordinated organ growth. Whilst plant organ identity is first established in apical meristems （vegetative and floral shoot meristems and root meristems）, and in other meristematic regions, the final size and shape of organs are defined by subsequent coordination of organ expansion in longitudinal and transverse axes.

文摘The main goals of rice breeding nowadays include increasing yield,improving grain quality,and promoting complete mechanized production to save labor costs.Rice grain shape,specified by three dimensions,including grain length,width and thickness,has a more precise meaning than grain size,contributing to grain appearance quality as well as grain weight and thus yield.Furthermore,the divergence of grain shape characters could be utilized in mechanical seed sorting in hybrid rice breeding systems,which has been succeeded in utilizing heterosis to achieve substantial increase in rice yield in the past decades.Several signaling pathways that regulate rice grain shape have been elucidated,including G protein signaling,ubiquitination-related pathway,mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling,phytohormone biosynthesis and signaling,micro RNA process,and some other transcriptional regulatory pathways and regulators.This review summarized the recent progress on molecular mechanisms underlying rice grain shape determination and the potential of major genes in future breeding applications.
文摘In order to obtain uniform exposure in variably shaped electron beam lithography,the beam current density and edge resolution on the target must not change for different spotshapes and sizes.The key to the goal is the appropriate design of shaping deflectors.A linearand rotation compensation approach is presented.Values of linear and rotation compensationfactors versus the distances between electron source image and centers of deflectors are measuredon an experimental electron beam column with variable spot shaping.The experimental resultsare in good agreement with the calculated ones.

文摘We demonstrated a scheme of bandwidth expansion and pulse shape optimized to afford 10 PW laser design via spec-tral shaping,which uses the existing Nd:glass amplifier chain of the SG PW laser.Compared to the amplified pulse with a gain-narrowing effect,the required parameters of injected pulse energy,spectral bandwidth,and shape are analyzed,to-gether with their influence on the system B-integral,energy output capability,and temporal intensity contrast.A bandwidth expansion to 7 nm by using LiNbO_(3) birefringent spectral shaping resulted in an output energy of 2 kJ in a proof-of-principle experiment.The results are consistent with the theoretical prediction which suggests that the amplifier chain of SG PW laser is capable of achieving 6 kJ at the bandwidth of 7 nm and the B-integral<π.This will support a 10 PW laser with a compressed pulse energy of 4.8 kJ(efficiency=80%)at 480 fs.

文摘The active development of space industry necessitates the cre-ation of novel materials with unique properties,including shape memory alloys(SMAs).The development of ultra-high temperature SMAs(UHTSMAs)with operating temperatures above 400℃is a significant challenge[1-3].It is known that reversible thermoelas-tic martensitic transformation(MT)is the basis for shape mem-ory behavior[4].Currently,there are several systems in which MT temperatures meet the above requirements,for example,RuNb[5],HfPd[6],TiPd[7].

文摘As an essential field of multimedia and computer vision,3D shape recognition has attracted much research attention in recent years.Multiview-based approaches have demonstrated their superiority in generating effective 3D shape representations.Typical methods usually extract the multiview global features and aggregate them together to generate 3D shape descriptors.However,there exist two disadvantages:First,the mainstream methods ignore the comprehensive exploration of local information in each view.Second,many approaches roughly aggregate multiview features by adding or concatenating them together.The information loss for some discriminative characteristics limits the representation effectiveness.To address these problems,a novel architecture named region-based joint attention network(RJAN)was proposed.Specifically,the authors first design a hierarchical local information exploration module for view descriptor extraction.The region-to-region and channel-to-channel relationships from different granularities can be comprehensively explored and utilised to provide more discriminative characteristics for view feature learning.Subsequently,a novel relation-aware view aggregation module is designed to aggregate the multiview features for shape descriptor generation,considering the view-to-view relationships.Extensive experiments were conducted on three public databases:ModelNet40,ModelNet10,and ShapeNetCore55.RJAN achieves state-of-the-art performance in the tasks of 3D shape classification and 3D shape retrieval,which demonstrates the effectiveness of RJAN.The code has been released on https://github.com/slurrpp/RJAN.

文摘Unlike conventional spherical charges,a shaped charge generates not only a strong shock wave and a pulsating bubble,but also a high strain rate metal jet and a ballistic wave during the underwater explosion.They show significant characteristic differences and couple each other.This paper designs and conducts experiments with shaped charges to analyze the complicated process.The effects of liner angle and weight of shaped charge on the characteristics of metal jets,waves,and bubbles are discussed.It is found that in underwater explosions,the shaped charge generates the metal jet accompanied by the ballistic wave.Then,the shock wave propagates and superimposes with the ballistic wave,and the generated bubble pulsates periodically.It is revealed that the maximum head velocity of the metal jet versus the liner angle a and length-to-diameter ratio k of the shaped charge follows the laws of 1/(α/180°)^(0.55)andλ^(0.16),respectively.The head shape and velocity of the metal jet determine the curvature and propagation speed of the initial ballistic wave,thus impacting the superposition time and region with the shock wave.Our findings also reveal that the metal jet carries away some explosion products,which hinders the bubble development,causing an inward depression of the bubble wall near the metal jet.Therefore,the maximum bubble radius and pulsation period are 5.2%and 3.9%smaller than the spherical charge with the same weight.In addition,the uneven axial energy distribution of the shaped charge leads to an oblique bubble jet formation.
