Meteorological extreme events or phenomena include tornadoes and tropical cyclones. The new high energy state of matter expanding outwards by spin jets from the two poles of an astronomical black hole, the new high energy state of matter in a funnel-shaped vortex showed a meteorological tornado expanding downwards from a rotated disk of cumulonimbus clouds, the new high energy state of matter in a tropical cyclone and the new high energy state of a nebulae system converging celestial materials are phenomena across disciplines and multiple time-space scales that have not yet been physically explained. In this paper, the theory of orthogonal collision in the rotational contraction continuum is used to unify the understanding of diverse extreme events or phenomena through a single dynamical mechanism, offering insights into natural processes across disciplines. In the field of astronomy, the orthogonal collision of two-beam rotating and contracting particles or stars associated with centripetal forces forms a new high-energy state of matter at the collision point and the new high-energy particles have expanding forces outward to both sides of the collision plane. In the field of meteorology, the orthogonal collision of multiple horizontally rotating and contracting airflows associated with centripetal forces forms a new high energy state of matter at the collision point as well as an updraft force and a downdraft force vertically. The updraft force and downdraft force formed by the collision of anomalous wet airflows in the lower atmosphere can well indicate tornado, thunderstorm and extreme precipitation. The orthogonal collision theory can be applied to explain new states of matter in disciplines from the astronomical scale to the meteorological scale and the Planck scale.展开更多

VSMCs actively remodel the arterial walls and dedifferentiate from the contractile to the synthetic phenotype under pathological conditions. The mechanism underlying phenotypic transition of VSMCs is important for understanding its role in the pathophysiology of disease. Although numerous studies have reported various biochemical pathways that stimulate the phenotypic transition of VSMCs, very little is known about relation between their phenotypic transition and cellular traction force, which affects many cellular functions. In this study, we induced the differentiation of cultured VSMCs from the synthetic to the contractile phenotype by a low-serum cultivation and investigated changes in the cell traction forces using traction force microscopy technique. The expression of α-SMA, a contractile phenotype marker protein, was significantly upregulated with maturation of actin stress fibers in the low-serum culture, indicating VSMC differentiation was promoted in our experiments. The cells changed their morphology to an elongated bipolar shape, and the direction of the cell traction forces tended to align in the direction of the cell’s major axis. Despite the promotion of contractile differentiation in VSMCs, the overall cell traction forces were significantly reduced, indicating that excessive cell mechanical tension, which might induce cell proliferation and migration, was suppressed during contractile differentiation. These results suggest that suppression of cell traction force and enhanced force polarity might be key factors in VSMC differentiation induced by low serum culture.展开更多

文摘Moles exhibit highly effective capabilities due to their unique body structures and digging techniques,making them ideal models for biomimetic research.However,a major challenge for mole-inspired robots lies in overcoming resistance in granular media when burrowing with forelimbs.In the absence of effective forepaw design strategies,most robotic designs rely on increased power to enhance performance.To address this issue,this paper employs Resistive Force Theory to optimize mole-inspired forepaws,aiming to enhance burrowing efficiency.By analyzing the relationship between geometric parameters and burrowing forces,we propose several forepaw design variations.Through granular resistance assessments,an effective forepaw configuration is identified and further refined using parameters such as longitudinal and transverse curvature.Subsequently,the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is applied to determine the optimal forepaw design.In force-loading tests,the optimized forepaw demonstrated a 79.44%reduction in granular lift force and a 22.55%increase in propulsive force compared with the control group.In robotic burrowing experiments,the optimized forepaw achieved the longest burrow displacement(179.528 mm)and the lowest burrowing lift force(0.9355 mm/s),verifying its effectiveness in reducing the lift force and enhancing the propulsive force.

文摘This study addresses the significant disparity in aerodynamic uplift forces experienced by single-strip high-speed pantographs under different operating directions.A systematic numerical investigation was conducted to evaluate the influence of key geometric parameters on aerodynamic characteristics,culminating in two targeted adjustment strategies.The reliability of the computational methodology was validated through comparative analysis,which revealed less than a 6%deviation in aerodynamic drag between the numerical simulations and wind tunnel tests.Aerodynamic decomposition revealed that the operating direction critically impacts the uplift force,which is governed by two factors:streamwise cross-strip positioning and the angular orientation of the arm hinge.These factors collectively determine the divergent aerodynamic responses of the panhead and frame during directional changes.By establishing a parametric database encompassing four strip-to-crossbar spacing configurations and six arm diameter variations,nonlinear response patterns of the uplift forces under different operating directions to geometric modifications were quantified.Both adjustment approaches,simultaneously reducing both streamwise and vertical strip-to-crossbar spacings to half of the original dimensions or increasing the upper arm spanwise diameter to 1.45 times and decreasing the lower arm spanwise diameter to 0.55 times the baseline values,successfully constrained aerodynamic uplift force deviations between operating directions within 3%.

文摘Forced imbibition,the invasion of a wetting fluid into porous rocks,plays an important role in the effective exploitation of hydrocarbon resources and the geological sequestration of carbon dioxide.However,the interface dynamics influenced by complex topology commonly leads to non-wetting fluid trapping.Particularly,the underlying mechanisms under viscously unfavorable conditions remain unclear.This study employs a direct numerical simulation method to simulate forced imbibition through the reconstructed digital rocks of sandstone.The interface dynamics and fluid–fluid interactions are investigated through transient simulations,while the pore topology metrics are introduced to analyze the impact on steady-state residual fluid distribution obtained by a pseudo-transient scheme.The results show that the cooperative pore-filling process promoted by corner flow is dominant at low capillary numbers.This leads to unstable inlet pressure,mass flow,and interface curvature,which correspond to complicated interface dynamics and higher residual fluid saturation.During forced imbibition,the interface curvature gradually increases,with the pore-filling mechanisms involving the cooperation of main terminal meniscus movement and arc menisci filling.Complex topology with small diameter pores may result in the destabilization of interface curvature.The residual fluid saturation is negatively correlated with porosity and pore throat size,and positively correlated with tortuosity and aspect ratio.A large mean coordination number characterizing global connectivity promotes imbibition.However,high connectivity characterized by the standardized Euler number corresponding to small pores is associated with a high probability of non-wetting fluid trapping.

文摘Due to batteries inconsistencies and potential faults in battery management systems,slight overcharging remains a common yet insufficiently understood safety risk,lacking effective warning methods.To illuminate the degradation behavior and failure mechanism of various overcharged states(100%SOC,105%SOC,110%SOC,and 115%SOC),multiple advanced in-situ characterization techniques(accelerating rate calorimeter,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,ultrasonic scanning,and expansion instrument)were utilized.Additionally,re-overcharge-induced thermal runaway(TR)tests were conducted,with a specific emphasis on the evolution of the expansion force signal.Results indicated significant degradation at 110%SOC including conductivity loss,loss of lithium inventory,and loss of active material accompanied by internal gas generation.These failure behaviors slow down the expansion force rate during reovercharging,reducing the efficacy of active warnings that depend on rate thresholds of expansion force.Specifically,the warning time for 115%SOC battery is only 144 s,which is 740 s shorter than that for fresh battery,and the time to TR is advanced by 9 min.Moreover,the initial self-heating temperature(T1)is reduced by 62.4℃compared to that of fresh battery,reaching only 70.8℃.To address the low safety of overcharged batteries,a passive overcharge warning method utilizing relaxation expansion force was proposed,based on the continued gas generation after stopping charging,leading to a sustained increase in force.Compared to active methods that rely on thresholds of expansion force rate,the passive method can issue warnings 115 s earlier.By combining the passive and active warning methods,guaranteed effective overcharge warning can be issued 863-884 s before TR.This study introduces a novel perspective for enhancing the safety of batteries.

文摘This study proposes a framework for the concept of“new quality productive forces”in the ice and snow economy(ISE)as a strategic response to global climate change and the demands of technological and industrial transformation for high-quality development.These new quality productive forces in the ISE have developed alongside the zonal distribution of natural resources,strictly adhere to ecological principles,and integrate value transformation mechanisms specific to ice and snow resources.Their development is projected to generate multiple benefits across ecological,economic,and social dimensions.The new quality productive forces in the ISE are characterized by technology-driven resource development,synergistic integration across the entire ice and snow industry value chain,and a focus on high-quality,green growth.Grounded in geography and economics,the new quality productive forces in the ISE link scientific innovation,the reallocation of productive factors,and industrial upgrading within the context of resource constraints.Furthermore,they expand the growth potential of the ISE by fostering new production relations through digital,intelligent,and green integration,while advancing low-carbon,sustainable development under the guiding principle that“ice and snow landscapes are also mountains of gold and silver.”For China's ISE,these new quality productive forces emphasize rigorous resource protection,balanced human-environment relationships,a resilient integrated supply chain framework,and an efficient“dual circulation”economic model.Practical strategies include integrating production factors,optimizing spatial resource allocation,fostering industrial synergy,and adapting production relations,all aimed at advancing the sustainable and high-quality development of China's ISE.
文摘Astronomical extreme events or phenomena include black holes as well as nebulae systems that resemble the Milky Way. Meteorological extreme events or phenomena include tornadoes and tropical cyclones. The new high energy state of matter expanding outwards by spin jets from the two poles of an astronomical black hole, the new high energy state of matter in a funnel-shaped vortex showed a meteorological tornado expanding downwards from a rotated disk of cumulonimbus clouds, the new high energy state of matter in a tropical cyclone and the new high energy state of a nebulae system converging celestial materials are phenomena across disciplines and multiple time-space scales that have not yet been physically explained. In this paper, the theory of orthogonal collision in the rotational contraction continuum is used to unify the understanding of diverse extreme events or phenomena through a single dynamical mechanism, offering insights into natural processes across disciplines. In the field of astronomy, the orthogonal collision of two-beam rotating and contracting particles or stars associated with centripetal forces forms a new high-energy state of matter at the collision point and the new high-energy particles have expanding forces outward to both sides of the collision plane. In the field of meteorology, the orthogonal collision of multiple horizontally rotating and contracting airflows associated with centripetal forces forms a new high energy state of matter at the collision point as well as an updraft force and a downdraft force vertically. The updraft force and downdraft force formed by the collision of anomalous wet airflows in the lower atmosphere can well indicate tornado, thunderstorm and extreme precipitation. The orthogonal collision theory can be applied to explain new states of matter in disciplines from the astronomical scale to the meteorological scale and the Planck scale.

文摘The undeformed chip thickness and grinding force are key parameters for revealing the material removal mechanism in the grinding process.However,they are difficult to be well expressed due to the ununiformed protrusion height and random position distribution of abrasive grains on the abrasive wheel surface.This study investigated the distribution of undeformed chip thickness and grinding force considering the non-uniform characteristics of abrasive wheel in the grinding of K4002 nickel-based superalloy.First,a novel grinding force model was established through a kinematic-geometric analysis and a grain-workpiece contact analysis.Then,a series of grinding experiments were conducted for verifying the model.The results indicate that the distribution of undeformed chip thickness is highly consistent with the Gaussian distribution formula.The increase in the grinding depth mainly leads to an increase in the average value of Gaussian distribution.On the contrary,the increase in the workpiece infeed speed or the decrease in the grinding speed mainly increases the standard deviation of Gaussian distribution.The average and maximum errors of the grinding force model are 4.9%and 14.6%respectively,indicating that the model is of high predication accuracy.
文摘Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the arterial walls play important roles in regulating vascular contraction and dilation. VSMCs actively remodel the arterial walls and dedifferentiate from the contractile to the synthetic phenotype under pathological conditions. The mechanism underlying phenotypic transition of VSMCs is important for understanding its role in the pathophysiology of disease. Although numerous studies have reported various biochemical pathways that stimulate the phenotypic transition of VSMCs, very little is known about relation between their phenotypic transition and cellular traction force, which affects many cellular functions. In this study, we induced the differentiation of cultured VSMCs from the synthetic to the contractile phenotype by a low-serum cultivation and investigated changes in the cell traction forces using traction force microscopy technique. The expression of α-SMA, a contractile phenotype marker protein, was significantly upregulated with maturation of actin stress fibers in the low-serum culture, indicating VSMC differentiation was promoted in our experiments. The cells changed their morphology to an elongated bipolar shape, and the direction of the cell traction forces tended to align in the direction of the cell’s major axis. Despite the promotion of contractile differentiation in VSMCs, the overall cell traction forces were significantly reduced, indicating that excessive cell mechanical tension, which might induce cell proliferation and migration, was suppressed during contractile differentiation. These results suggest that suppression of cell traction force and enhanced force polarity might be key factors in VSMC differentiation induced by low serum culture.

文摘Rail weld irregularities are one of the primary excitation sources for vehicle-track interaction dynamics in modern high-speed railways.They can cause significant wheel-rail dynamic interactions,leading to wheel-rail noise,component damage,and deterioration.Few researchers have employed the vehicle-track interaction dynamic model to study the dynamic interactions between wheel and rail induced by rail weld geometry irregularities.However,the cosine wave model used to simulate rail weld irregularities mainly focuses on the maximum value and neglects the geometric shape.In this study,novel theoretical models were developed for three categories of rail weld irregularities,based on measurements of the high-speed railway from Beijing to Shanghai.The vertical dynamic forces in the time and frequency domains were compared under different running speeds.These forces generated by the rail weld irregularities that were measured and modeled,respectively,were compared to validate the accuracy of the proposed model.Finally,based on the numerical study,the impact force due to rail weld irrregularity is modeled using an Artificial Neural Network(ANN),and the optimum combination of parameters for this model is found.The results showed that the proposed model provided a more accurate wheel/rail dynamic evaluation caused by rail weld irregularities than that established in the literature.The ANN model used in this paper can effectively predict the impact force due to rail weld irrregularity while reducing the computation time.
