Large cavities in carbonate formations pose serious threat to drilling operations. Logging-whiledrilling （LWD） is currently used to accurately identify and evaluate cavities in reservoirs during drilling. In this study, we use the self-adaptive hp-FEM algorithm simulate and calculate the LWD resistivity responses of fracture-cavity reservoir cavities. Compared with the traditional h-FEM method, the self-adaptive hp-FEM algorithm has the characteristics of the self-adaptive mesh refinement and the calculations exponentially converge to highly accurate solutions. Using numerical simulations, we investigated the effect of the cavity size, distance between cavity and borehole, and transmitted frequency on the LWD resistivity response. Based on the results, a method for recognizing cavities is proposed. This research can provide the theoretical basis for the accurate identification and quantitative evaluation of various carbonate reservoirs with cavities encountered in practice.展开更多

The fuzzy logic controller is able to perform effectively even in situations where the information about the plant is inaccurate and the operating conditions are uncertain. Based on the proportional navigation, the fuzzy logic and the genetic algorithm are combined to develop an evolutionary fuzzy navigation law with self-adapt region for the air-to-air missile guidance. The line of sight (LOS) rate and the closing speed between the missile and the target are inputs of the fuzzy controller. The output of the fuzzy controller is the commanded acceleration. Then a nonlinear function based on the conventional fuzzy logic control is imported to change the region. This nonlinear function can be changed with the input variables. So the dynamic change of the fuzzy variable region is achieved. The guidance law is optimized by the genetic algorithm. Simulation results of air-to-air missile attack using MATLAB show that the method needs less acceleration and shorter flying time, and its realization is simple.[KH*3/4D]展开更多

文摘The progress from intelligent interactions requires electronic skin(E-skin)to shift from single-functional perception to multisensory capabilities.However,the intuitive and interference-free reading of multiple sensory signals without involving complex algorithms is a critical challenge.Herein,we propose a flexible multisensory E-skin by developing a highly homogeneous dispersion of BaTiO_(3)nanoparticles in polydimethylsiloxane dielectric layer.The E-skin is sensitive to externally applied pressure as well as temperature and can distinguish dual synergetic stimuli by the time decoupling effect.The pressure and temperature perception was achieved in an individual device,which greatly reduced the structural complexity compared with multifunctional integrated devices.The sensitivity of E-skin for pressure detection is as high as 0.0724 kPa^(−1)and the detection range reaches as wide as 15.625-10 MPa.The sensitivity to temperature detection is as high as−1.34℃^(−1)and the detection range reaches 20-200℃.More importantly,by equipping with a multilayer neural network,the evolution from tactile perception to advanced intelligent tactile cognition is demonstrated.

文摘Against the backdrop of regional coordinated development and China’s“dual carbon”strategic objectives,the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei(BTH)region faces an urgent need to transition fromits traditional economic growth model,which is heavily reliant on resource consumption.This study investigates the decoupling dynamics among economic growth,energy consumption,and carbon emissions in the BTH region,along with the underlying driving forces,aiming to provide valuable insights for achieving the“dual carbon”targets and fostering high-quality regional development.First,the Tapio decoupling model is employed to analyze the decoupling relationships between economic growth,energy consumption,and carbon emissions in the BTH region from 2000 to 2021.Second,the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index decomposition method is applied to identify the key driving factors of carbon emission reduction and quantify their respective contributions.Finally,targeted policy recommendations are proposed based on the empirical findings to support regional coordinated development.The results indicate that(1)all three sub-regions within the BTH region have demonstrated consistent improvements in energy utilization efficiency and a gradual decline in carbon emission intensity,although the degree of progress varies across regions;(2)differentiated decoupling states exist between carbon emissions and both economic growth and energy consumption,with Beijing showing significant decoupling,while Tianjin and Hebei Province experience a“rebound”phenomenon following a phase of decoupling;(3)energy consumption intensity and industrial structure optimization have notably positive effects on carbon emission reduction,whereas other factors contribute to varying degrees to the exacerbation of carbon emissions;(4)the impacts of driving factors on carbon emissions exhibit significant spatio-temporal disparities.Based on these findings,the study recommends enhancing fiscal incentives,optimizing industrial structures,improving energy efficiency,and establishing a coordinated regional governance framework to facilitate the BTH region’s low-carbon transition and sustainable development.

文摘Quantifying material use in infrastructure development and analyzing its relationship with economic growth is essential for enhancing resource efficiency and steering regional resource management toward sustainable development.This study systematically assessed infrastructure related material use in 30 provinces,autonomous regions,and municipalities in China during 1978-2022.The result indicated that material stock has experienced significant growth,increasing from 16.91×10^(9)t in 1978 to 103.60×10^(9)t in 2022,with an average annual growth rate of 4.20%.However,from 1978 to 2015,material input followed a strong upward trend but saturated after 2015.At the national level,material input peaked in 2015,after which it began to decline.The central region reached its peak earlier in 2013,while the eastern and western regions peaked in 2015.Using a decoupling analysis framework,this study revealed that nationally,the elasticity value between material stock and gross domestic product(GDP)remained near or above 1.0,reflecting continued reliance on stock accumulation.Regionally,the elasticity value between material stock and GDP has increased in the central and western regions during 1978-2022,whereas elasticity value between material stock and GDP in the eastern region showed a slower growth rate but still struggled to achieve absolute decoupling.Moreover,the elasticity value between material input and GDP has declined at the national level,presenting a relative decoupling,with some regions already achieving absolute decoupling.The eastern region was closer to absolute decoupling,while the central and western regions,though still intensive in material input,exhibited faster declines in elasticity.Accelerating the transition from linear to circular economy is an essential step for China to achieve absolute decoupling and long-term sustainability.Finally,this research recommends promoting the adoption of renewable energy,driving industrial upgrading,implementing compact urban design,and extending the lifespan of infrastructure to reduce material dependency and achieve sustainable infrastructure transformation at the national level.

文摘With the increasingly stringent national environmental protection policies,the ultra-low emission transformation of industrial coal-fired grate boilers and the highly efficient utilization of biomass resources or wastes are becoming increasingly urgent in China.This study first proposes a novel and simple configuration for industrial grate boilers to integrate the decoupling combustion and flue gas recirculation or co-firing technologies,so as to reduce pollutant emission but improve thermal efficiency.Burning coal briquettes in the novel grate boiler,the original NO_(x) emissions can be remarkably decreased to as low as 56 mg· m^(-3),corresponding to the reduction efficiency of 82.8% in comparison with the average value in traditional coal-fired grate boilers.Co-firing coal briquettes with straw pellets in the novel grate boiler,the strongest synergistic effect of NO_(x) reduction is observed at the blending mass fraction of 50%,in which the NOxemissions can be further mitigated by at most 16.0% on top of the already reduced amount by decoupling combustion to reach less than about 165 mg· m^(-3).The novel grate boiler allows co-firing Chinese medicine residue with high water content at the blending mass fraction of up to 30% on the premise of low NO_(x) and CO emissions.All experimental results in this study demonstrated the obvious superiorities of the novel grate boiler in reducing NO_(x) and CO emissions and mitigating both slagging tendency and slag carbon content,which can be attributed to either the cumulative effects of decoupling combustion with flue gas recirculation or the synergistic effects of cofiring coal-biomass blends.The newly-developed travelling-grate decoupling combustion technology can be expected to provide an economical and convenient measure for the ultra-low NO_(x) emission transformation of industrial coal-fired grate boilers as well as the clean and highly efficient consumption of biomass wastes with high water content or difficulty to burn in China.

文摘A control strategy of repetitive control without inductorance decoupling was proposed to address the problem of high total harmonic distortion(THD)rate of the network-side current caused by the reduced stability of the rectifier module of the DC charging pile under weak grid as well as the dead zone and nonlinearity of switching devices during charging.Firstly,the parallel repetitive control was constructed in the inner current loop,and the proportional-integral(PI)+repetitive controller based on parallel structure was designed.For system compensation,a second-order low-pass filter was selected to correct the system,and the network-side current harmonics were actively suppressed without increasing the filtering device,which effectively improves the quality of grid-connected current.Secondly,based on the synthetic vector method,the controller parameters were designed to realize the elimination of main pole by establishing two synchronous rotation coordinate system vector differential equations,so as to realize the inductanceless decoupling to cope with the influence of network-side inductance fluctuation on the stability of the control system under weak grid.By theoretical analysis and simulation,the proposed control strategy was embedded into the self-developed digital signal processor for the rectifier module of DC charging pile,simulated dynamic and steady-state operation experiments were conducted,and comparative analysis was performed to prove the feasibility of the proposed control strategy.

文摘Most of the carbonate formation are highly heterogeneous with cavities of different sizes, which makes the prediction of cavity-filled reservoir in carbonate rocks difficult. Large cavities in carbonate formations pose serious threat to drilling operations. Logging-whiledrilling （LWD） is currently used to accurately identify and evaluate cavities in reservoirs during drilling. In this study, we use the self-adaptive hp-FEM algorithm simulate and calculate the LWD resistivity responses of fracture-cavity reservoir cavities. Compared with the traditional h-FEM method, the self-adaptive hp-FEM algorithm has the characteristics of the self-adaptive mesh refinement and the calculations exponentially converge to highly accurate solutions. Using numerical simulations, we investigated the effect of the cavity size, distance between cavity and borehole, and transmitted frequency on the LWD resistivity response. Based on the results, a method for recognizing cavities is proposed. This research can provide the theoretical basis for the accurate identification and quantitative evaluation of various carbonate reservoirs with cavities encountered in practice.

文摘One kind of movable-pair analysis method is adopted to analyze the configuration of a 3-7R （revolute-pair） parallel decoupling mechanism, and the mechanism＇s characteristics are summarized. The mechanism has three orthogonal distributional branch-chains, and all movable pairs are rotational joints. The movable platform of the mechanism has x, y, z translational decoupling directions. Furthermore, in order to verify the mechanism＇s decoupling characteristics, the mechanism＇s kinematics analysis is solved, and the mechanism＇s direct/inverse kinematics model, input/output velocities and accelerations are deduced, which confirm its decoupling movement characteristics. Finally, one kind of mechanism link decomposed-integrated approach is adopted, and the mechanism＇s dynamics model is completed with the Lagrange method, which also proves its decoupling force characteristics. All of these works provide significant theory for the further study of the mechanism＇s control strategy, design, path planning etc.
文摘Effective guidance is one of the most important tasks to the performance of air-to-air missile. The fuzzy logic controller is able to perform effectively even in situations where the information about the plant is inaccurate and the operating conditions are uncertain. Based on the proportional navigation, the fuzzy logic and the genetic algorithm are combined to develop an evolutionary fuzzy navigation law with self-adapt region for the air-to-air missile guidance. The line of sight (LOS) rate and the closing speed between the missile and the target are inputs of the fuzzy controller. The output of the fuzzy controller is the commanded acceleration. Then a nonlinear function based on the conventional fuzzy logic control is imported to change the region. This nonlinear function can be changed with the input variables. So the dynamic change of the fuzzy variable region is achieved. The guidance law is optimized by the genetic algorithm. Simulation results of air-to-air missile attack using MATLAB show that the method needs less acceleration and shorter flying time, and its realization is simple.[KH*3/4D]

文摘Future manufacturing systems need to cope with frequent changes and disturbances, therefore their control architectures require constant adaptability, agility, stability, self-organization, intelligence, and robustness. Bio-inspired manufacturing system can well satisfy these requirements. For this purpose, by referencing the biological organization structure and the mechanism, a bio-inspired manufacturing cell is presented from a novel view, and then a bio-inspired self-adaptive manufacturing model is established based on the ultra-short feedback mechanism of the neuro-endocrine system. A hio-inspired self-adaptive manufacturing system coordinated model is also established based on the neuro-endocrine-immunity system （NEIS）. Finally, an example based on pheromone communication mechanism indicates that the robustness of the whole manufacturing system is improved by bio-inspired technologies.
