The axial preloading stiffness was treated as the sum of the spindle modal stiffness and the framework elastic stiffness, based on a novel concept that magnitude of preloads can be controlled by measuring the resonant frequency of a spindle system. By employing an example of a certain type of aircraft simulating rotary table, the modal stiffness was measured on the Agilent 35670A Dynamic Signal Analyzer by experimental modal analysis. The equivalent elastic stiffness was simulated by both finite element analysis in ANSYS? and a curve fitting in MATLAB?. Results showed that the static preloading stiffness of the spindle was 7.2125×107 N/m, and that the optimal preloading force was 120.0848 N. Practical application proved the feasibility of our method.展开更多

To study air braking characteristics of long freight trains, an approach for simulating air brake systems based on fuid dynamics theory was proposed. The structures and working mechanisms of locomotive and wagon air brakes are introduced, and mathematical models of the pipes, brake valves, reservoirs or chambers, cylinders, etc., are presented.Besides, the dynamic motions of parts in the main valve are considered. The simulation model of the whole air brake system is then formulated, and the solving method based on the finite-difference method is used. New efficient pipe boundary conditions without iterations are developed for brake pipes and branch pipes, which can achieve higher computational efficiency. The proposed approach for simulating the air brake system is validated by comparing with published measured data. Simulation results of different train formations indicate that models that consider the dynamic behavior of brake pipes are recommended for predicting the characteristics of long trains under service braking conditions.展开更多

A geological dynamic extensional mode given by some geologists is theoretically discussed and verified. The study shows that lithosphere thickening or thinning is closely related to the thermal activity, or in other words, thermal convection beneath the lithosphere. It is one of the important factors affecting the formation of the basin-mountain coupling system. As an essential condition, only the upward buoyant force and the horizontal dragging force caused by the thermal convection jointly act on the bottom of the lithosphere, the stress and strain states in rock's layers are advantageous to forming the tectonic-landforms of the basin-mountain coupling system. A study on the creep features of the lithosphere shows that the stress and strain in the rock's layers vary with time when the lasting forces act on the boundary. They increase rapidly at initial stage and decrease steadily after reaching the peak value. Phenomena of stress relaxation are significant for studying the tectonic evolution.展开更多

In order to avoid calculation derivatives, two equivalence substitution methods are proposed here.

Firstly, the validation of the model is presented and then four solar water heating systems are simulated in four different cities along one year. The storage tank water hourly temperatures were obtained for a typical meteorological year and those values were compared with the values obtained by the widespread TRNSYS simulation software. The results obtained from this comparison were satisfactory.

文摘The Hengduan Mountains are susceptible to hydrological disasters,with precipitation representing a significant risk factor.For effective disaster mitigation strategies,accurate rainfall simulation is essential,typically achieved through the use of numerical models.Some research has indicated that using a convection-permitting model(CPM)at high resolution(<4 km)could provide more precise rainfall estimates than traditional cumulus parameterization schemes(CPs)at lower resolutions,but CPM demands substantial computational resources.Therefore,to assess whether CPM maintains superior simulation accuracy,this study employed the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF)model to simulate summer precipitation over the Hengduan Mountains in 2009,comparing CPM(4 km)and CPs(10 km)resolutions.The simulations were evaluated against satellite observations to quantify their performance differences.The results showed that all simulations overestimated amounts and frequency.The CPM outperformed most CPs,except the Tiedtke scheme,which exhibited Root Mean Square Errors(RMSEs)of 2.51 mm·day-1 for amount and 5.63%for frequency.The CPM had slightly higher RMSEs of 2.80 mm·day-1 and 6.98%,respectively.Both CPM and Tiedtke captured the spatial distribution of precipitation,but overestimations occurred in central and southern regions and underestimations in river valleys.While Tiedtke demonstrated superiority in various aspects,CPM provided more detail.Additionally,the study noted significant differences in diurnal variation at intermediate altitudes and found correlations between rainfall amounts and convective available potential energy(CAPE),frequency,and outgoing longwave radiation(OLR),respectively.Consequently,the Tiedtke scheme is suggested as a more resource-efficient alternative to CPM for simulating precipitation in the Hengduan Mountains.

文摘Heating,Ventilation,andAir Conditioning(HVAC)systems are critical formaintaining thermal comfort in office environments which also crucial for occupant well-being and productivity.This study investigates the impact of integrating ceiling fans with higher air conditioning setpoints on thermal comfort and energy efficiency in office environments.Field measurements and questionnaire surveys were conducted to evaluate thermal comfort and energysaving potential under varying conditions.Results show that increasing the AC setpoint from 25○C to 27○C,combined with ceiling fan operation,reduced power consumption by 10%,achieving significant energy savings.Survey data confirmed that 85%of participants reported consistent thermal sensations across all conditions,with ceiling fans effectively compensating for higher setpoints through enhanced air circulation.CFDsimulations revealed that mediumspeed ceiling fan operation produced the most uniformairflowdistribution,with an average air velocity of 0.45 m/s,and minimized temperature variations,ensuring balanced thermal conditions.Temperature analysis showed a reduction in hotspots and cold zones,maintaining an average temperature deviation of less than±0.5○C.Predicted Mean Vote(PMV)evaluations at a 27○C setpoint indicated improved thermal comfort,with average PMV values around−0.3,corresponding to a“neutral”thermal sensation.These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating ceiling fans with HVAC systems in achieving energy efficiency and occupant comfort,offering a sustainable approach to reducing AC energy consumption in office environments.

文摘To explore atomic-level phenomena in the Cu-Ni-Sn alloy,a second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method(2NN MEAM)potential has been developed for the Cu-Ni-Sn system,building upon the work of other researchers.This potential demonstrates remarkable accuracy in predicting the lattice constant,with a relative error of less than 0.5%when compared to density functional theory(DFT)results,and it achieves a 10%relative error in the enthalpy of formation compared to experimental data,marking substantial advancements over prior models.The bulk modulus is predicted with a relative error of 8%compared to DFT.Notably,the potential effectively simulates the processes of melting and solidification of Cu-15Ni-8Sn,with a simulated melting point that closely aligns with the experimental value,within a 7.5%margin.This serves as a foundation for establishing a 2NN MEAM potential for a flawless Cu-Ni-Sn system and its microalloying systems.

文摘This study employs the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH)method to develop a computational fluid dynamics(CFD)model for analyzing the interaction between rogue waves and mooring systems.Four floating body configurations are investigated:(1)dual rectangular prisms,(2)rectangular prism–sphere composites,(3)sphere–rectangular prism composites,and(4)dual spheres.These configurations are systematically evaluated under varying mooring conditions to assess their hydrodynamic performance and wave attenuation capabilities.The model accurately captures the complex fluid–structure interaction dynamics between moored floating breakwaters and incident wave fields.Among the configurations,the dual rectangular prism system demonstrates superior performance in both wave dissipation and mooring force reduction.Under conditions involving dual wave makers,the influence of floating body shape and number on wave height is found to be minimal.However,dual-body arrangements consistently outperform single-body setups in terms of both energy dissipation and structural stability.From a cost-efficiency perspective,the configuration comprising two rectangular prisms connected via a single mooring system offers significant advantages in material usage and deployment feasibility.
