Accordin...The state of roof collapse in tunnels is actually three-dimensional, so constructing a three-dimensional failure collapse mechanism is crucial so as to reflect the realistic collapsing scopes more reasonably. According to Hoek-Brown failure criterion and the upper bound theorem of limit analysis, the solution for describing the shape of roof collapse in circular or rectangular tunnels subjected to seepage forces is derived by virtue of variational calculation. The seepage forces calculated from the gradient of excess pore pressure distribution are taken as external loading in the limit analysis, and it is of great convenience to compute the pore pressure with pore pressure coefficient. Consequently, the effect of seepage forces is taken as a work rate of external force and incorporated into the upper bound limit analysis. The numerical results of collapse dimensions with different rock parameters show great validity and agreement by comparing with the results of that with two-dimensional failure mechanism.展开更多

The rotor blade is discretized using a five-nodes, 15 DOFs beam finiteelement. The dynamic coupling effect between the rigid motion of the blade and the nonlinear elasticdeflections is taken into account. Utilizing the constitutive law of the curvilinear coordinatesystem, the typical moderate deflection beam theory is reformulated. In addition, the Leishman andBeddoes unsteady and dynamic stall model is incorporated and the inflow is evaluated with the freewake analysis. The derived nonlinear ordinary differential equations with time - dependentcoefficients of the rotor blade are given in the sense of the generalized forces. The sectionalloads of the blade and the equations of motion are solved simultaneously in the physical space. Theblade vibratory loads predicted by present analysis show generally fair a-greement with the flighttest data of the SA349/2 Gazelle helicopter.展开更多

When the steering...Electric load simulator(ELS) systems are employed for electric power steering(EPS) test benches to load rack force by precise control. Precise ELS control is strongly influenced by nonlinear factors. When the steering motor rapidly rotates, extra force is directly superimposed on the original static loading error, which becomes one of the main sources of the final error. It is key to achieve ELS precise loading control for the entire EPS test bench. Therefore, a three-part compound control algorithm is proposed to improve the loading accuracy. First, a fuzzy proportional–integral plus feedforward controller with force feedback is presented. Second, a friction compensation algorithm is established to reduce the influence of friction. Then, the relationships between each quantity and the extra force are analyzed when the steering motor rapidly rotates, and a net torque feedforward compensation algorithm is proposed to eliminate the extra force. The compound control algorithm was verified through simulations and experiments. The results show that the tracking performance of the compound control algorithm satisfies the demands of engineering practice, and the extra force in the ELS system can be suppressed by the net torque corresponding to the actuator’s acceleration.展开更多

Two experiments are carried out respectively to mea- sure the wave loads and the free motions for a pair of side-by- side arranged ship models advancing with an identical speed in head regular waves. For comparison, each model is also tested alone. Predictions obtained by the present solution are found in favorable agreement with the model tests and are more accurate than the traditional method based on the three dimensional pulsating （3DP） source Green function. Numer- ical resonances and peak shift can be found in the 3DP pre- dictions, which result from the wave energy trapped in the gap between two ships and the extremely inhomogeneous wave load distribution on each hull. However, they can be eliminated by 3DTP, in which the speed affects the free sur- face and most of the wave energy can be escaped from the gap. Both the experiment and the present prediction show that hydrodynamic interaction effects on wave loads and free motions are significant. The present solver may serve as a validated tool to predict wave loads and motions of two ves- sels under replenishment at sea, and may help to evaluate the hydrodynamic interaction effects on the ships safety in replenishment operation.展开更多

Some coefficients such as wake fraction and flow straightening coefficient were studied from the model tests in diffierent loading conditions and the normal force of rudder was tested in captive model tests to obtain the coefficients. From these results of the tests,the flow straightening coefficients increase with the increase of trims or drafts. Similarly,wake fraction coefficients are larger for the large drafts,however,become small as the trims increase. The resistance is obviously different in fully loaded condition with the trims by stern,however ,the difference is not evident when the draft decreases and the bulbous bow is above the water surface.展开更多

Quartz-free ...When one end of an air-dry igneous rock block was uniaxially loaded in laboratory, there appeared an electromotive force that made electric currents flow from the stressed volume to the unstressed volume. Quartz-free rocks such as gabbro also generated this force, stronger than quartz-bearing rocks such as granite. This indicates that the piezoelectric effect of quartz and the electrokinetic effect of pore water do not make a large contribution toward generating the electromotive force. We focus on peroxy bond that is one of the abundant lattice defects in igneous rock-forming minerals. When mechanical loading deforms the lattice structure around this defect and breaks its bond, its energy levels change and act like an accepter. As an electron is trapped at this defect from a neighbor 02- site, a positive hole is activated there. They attempt to diffuse toward the unstressed volume through the valence band and are simultaneously affected by the attractive electric force with the electrons trapped in peroxy bonds. This leads to a polarization in the stressed volume and the generation of electromotive force between the stressed and unstressed volumes. Similar electromotive force may be generated in the Earth＇s crust where inhomogeneous stress/strain is changing.展开更多

The device applies forces on the skin, whereas force transmitted to the knee joint elements is directly responsible for promoting the healing of bone and cartilage. However, it is not well understood how loads on the skin are transmitted to the cartilage, ligaments, and bone. Based on a CAD model of a human knee joint, we conducted a finite element analysis (FEA) for force transmission from the skin and soft tissue to a knee joint. In this study, 3D models of human knee joint elements were assembled in an FEA software package (SIMSOLID). A wide range of forces was applied to the skin with different thickness in order to obtain approximate force values transmitted from the skin to the joint elements. The maximum Von Mises stress and displacement distributions were estimated for different components of the knee joint. The results demonstrate that the high load bearing areas were located on the posterior portion of the cartilage. This prediction can be used to improve the design of the knee loading device.展开更多

文摘Transverse vibration and stability analysis of circular plate subjected to follower force and thermal load are analyzed.Based on the thin plate theory in involving the variable temperature,the differential equation of transverse vibration for the axisymmetric circular plate subjected to follower force and thermal load is established.Then,the differential equation of vibration and corresponding boundary conditions are discretized by the differential quadrature method.Meanwhile,the generalized eigenvalue under three different boundary conditions are calculated.In this case,the change curve of the first order dimensionless complex frequency of the circular plate subjected to the follower force in the different conditions with the variable temperature coefficient and temperature load is analyzed.The stability and corresponding critical loads of the circular plate subjected to follower force and thermal load with simply supported edge,clamped edge and free edge are discussed.The results provide theoretical basis for improving the dynamic stability of the circular plate.

文摘This study presents a closed-form solution for central stress,a semi-analytical model,and a modified anisotropic semi-analytical model to efficiently calculate the forcefrequency coefficients(FFCs)of square quartz crystal resonators(QCRs)with different side lengths and azimuth angles under eccentrically concentrated and distributed loads.The semi-analytical model is validated by comparisons between the experimental results and the nonlinear finite element method(FEM)simulation results.Based on the semi-analytical model for the FFC and nonlinear FEM simulations,the FFC variations of square QCRs under external loads and the related mechanisms are investigated.Among the initial stresses caused by external loads,the central stress parallel to the xcrystallographic axis is the primary factor influencing the FFC of quartz.Our findings can provide practical tools for calculating the FFC,and help the design and development of square quartz force sensors.

文摘Exosomes derived from bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)show promising potential for treating bone defects.However,their clinical application is hindered by low yield and insufficient repair ability.Three-dimensional(3D)mechanical stimulation has been a well-known method for enhancing exosome secretion;however,the traditional stimulation process is always achieved by controlling the displacement of manipulators,which may induce uneven loading distribution and degradation of stimulation strength.Here,we propose a micro-stretching manipulator that automatically controls the stretching force applied to gelatin methacryloyl(GelMA)/hyaluronic acid methacryloyl(HAMA)hybrid hydrogel sheets containing BMSCs within an incubator.To ensure the structural stability of the sheets after long-term stretching,the mixing ratio between GelMA and HAMA was optimized according to the mechanical property response of the sheets to cyclical loading.Subsequently,force-controlled mechanical loading was applied to the BMSC-laden sheets to produce exosomes.Compared with displacement control,force-controlled loading provides a more stable force stimulation,thereby enhancing exosome secretion.Furthermore,continuously stimulated exosomes exhibited a stronger capacity for promoting osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and facilitating the repair of bone defects in a rat model.These findings suggest that force-controlled loading of cell-laden hydrogels offers a novel approach for the production of BMSC-derived exosomes and their application in bone repair.

文摘Damage indices are effective in quantifying structural seismic damage.Numerous response-based damage indices have been developed and validated through the hysteretic response of various experimental specimens.However,the accuracy of these indices for evaluating damage of RC columns is challenged by fluctuating axial load and irregular horizontal loading paths from 3-D earthquake excitations.This study introduces D_(iem),a material-based damage model for RC columns under random bidirectional loads and variable axial forces.Section damage indices of the plastic hinge are calculated by integrating the damage indices of concrete and steel fiber elements,considering their distance to the centroid axis.The P-Δeffect index is defined,and the component failure index is calculated using a combination of these indices.A hysteretic simulation and D_(iem)damage analysis program for cantilever RC columns is developed using Fortran.Three RC columns tested under bidirectional hysteretic loading are simulated to calibrate the program.Parameter analysis of 1,638 RC columns is conducted to verify D_(iem)’s applicability.The results demonstrated that D_(iem)’s failure assessment aligns with the 80%residual criterion.D_(iem)analysis of a real seismic damaged RC column shows satisfactory agreement with post-earthquake damage assessment and illustrates significant damage differences between columns with and without axial load fluctuation.
文摘An eight-channel force loading system is presented, which adopts position control system and force control system switching model, small flow servo valve controlled capacious cylinder system scheme, intelligent PID algorithm and distributed load approach. Through the analyses of the equivalent model of valve controlled cylinder force subsystem, a controller based on intelligent PID algorithm is designed, which is not sensitive to the variation of parameters such as environmental stiffness. According to the coupling of multiple load channels, a distributed load approach is employed in the superior monitor computer. Experimental results show that the system designed has high precision and robustness.

文摘It is very difficult,for the component-type ship mathematical model,to estimate the interaction force coefficients among the hull,propeller and rudder. Some coefficients such as wake fraction and flow straightening coefficient were studied from the model tests in diffierent loading conditions and the normal force of rudder was tested in captive model tests to obtain the coefficients. From these results of the tests,the flow straightening coefficients increase with the increase of trims or drafts. Similarly,wake fraction coefficients are larger for the large drafts,however,become small as the trims increase. The resistance is obviously different in fully loaded condition with the trims by stern,however ,the difference is not evident when the draft decreases and the bulbous bow is above the water surface.

文摘When one end of an air-dry igneous rock block was uniaxially loaded in laboratory, there appeared an electromotive force that made electric currents flow from the stressed volume to the unstressed volume. Quartz-free rocks such as gabbro also generated this force, stronger than quartz-bearing rocks such as granite. This indicates that the piezoelectric effect of quartz and the electrokinetic effect of pore water do not make a large contribution toward generating the electromotive force. We focus on peroxy bond that is one of the abundant lattice defects in igneous rock-forming minerals. When mechanical loading deforms the lattice structure around this defect and breaks its bond, its energy levels change and act like an accepter. As an electron is trapped at this defect from a neighbor 02- site, a positive hole is activated there. They attempt to diffuse toward the unstressed volume through the valence band and are simultaneously affected by the attractive electric force with the electrons trapped in peroxy bonds. This leads to a polarization in the stressed volume and the generation of electromotive force between the stressed and unstressed volumes. Similar electromotive force may be generated in the Earth＇s crust where inhomogeneous stress/strain is changing.

文摘Force spectrum measurements with constant loading rates are widely used in single-molecule manipulation experiments to study the mechanical stability and force response of biomolecules.Force-dependent transition rates can be obtained from the transition force distribution,but it is limited to the force range with non-zero force distribution.Although constant loading rate control can be realized with magnetic tweezers,the loading rate range is limited due to the slow movement of permanent magnets.Non-linear exponential and exponential squared force loading functions are more feasible in magnetic tweezers,while there is no theoretical result available for these two kinds of non-linear force loading functions.In this study,we solved the unfolding process of a protein following Bell's model under nonlinear exponential and exponential squared force loading functions,which offer a broader range of unfolding force distribution compared to the traditional constant loading rate experiments.Furthermore,we derived two force loading functions,which can produce uniform unfolding force distribution.This research contributes fundamental equations for the analysis of experimental data obtained through single-molecule manipulation under nonlinear force loading controls,paving the way for the use of nonlinear force control in magnetic tweezer experiments.
文摘Dynamic loading to a knee joint is considered to be an effective modality for enhancing the healing of long bones and cartilage that are subject to ailments like fractures, osteoarthritis, etc. We developed a knee loading device and tested it for force application. The device applies forces on the skin, whereas force transmitted to the knee joint elements is directly responsible for promoting the healing of bone and cartilage. However, it is not well understood how loads on the skin are transmitted to the cartilage, ligaments, and bone. Based on a CAD model of a human knee joint, we conducted a finite element analysis (FEA) for force transmission from the skin and soft tissue to a knee joint. In this study, 3D models of human knee joint elements were assembled in an FEA software package (SIMSOLID). A wide range of forces was applied to the skin with different thickness in order to obtain approximate force values transmitted from the skin to the joint elements. The maximum Von Mises stress and displacement distributions were estimated for different components of the knee joint. The results demonstrate that the high load bearing areas were located on the posterior portion of the cartilage. This prediction can be used to improve the design of the knee loading device.
