文摘Conformal thin-film sensors enable precise monitoring of the operating conditions of components in extreme environments.However,the development of these sensors encounters major challenges,especially in uniformly applying multiple film layers on complex metallic surfaces and accurately capturing diverse operational parameters.This work reports a multi-sensor design and multi-layer additive manufacturing process targeting spherical metallic substrates.The proposed high-temperature dip-coating and self-leveling fabrication process achieves high-temperature thin-film coatings with excellent uniformity,high-temperature electrical insulation,and adhesion properties.The fabricated Ag/Pt thin film thermocouple arrays and a heat flux sensor exhibit a maximum temperature resistance of up to 960℃,with thermoelectric potential outputs and hightemperature resistance closely mirroring those of wire-based Ag/Pt thermocouples.Harsh environmental testing was conducted using high-power lasers and a flame gun.The results show that the array of thin-film conformal thermocouples more accurately reflected temperature changes at different points on a spherical surface.The heat flux sensors achieve responses within 95 ms and with-stand environments with heat fluxes over 1.2 MW/m^(2).The proposed multi-sensor design and fabrication method offers promising monitoring applications in harsh environments,including aerospace and nuclear power.

文摘In this paper,an effective algorithm for optimizing the subarray of conformal arrays is proposed.The method first divides theconformal array into several first-level subarrays.It uses the X algorithm to solve the feasible solution of first-level subarray tiling and employs the particle swarm algorithm to optimize the conformal array subarray tiling scheme with the maximum entropy of the planar mapping as the fitness function.Subsequently,convex optimization is applied to optimize the subarray amplitude phase.Data results verify that the method can effectively find the optimal conformal array tiling scheme.

文摘Implantable hydrogel-based bioelectronics(IHB)can precisely monitor human health and diagnose diseases.However,achieving biodegradability,biocompatibility,and high conformality with soft tissues poses significant challenges for IHB.Gelatin is the most suitable candidate for IHB since it is a collagen hydrolysate and a substantial part of the extracellular matrix found naturally in most tissues.This study used 3D printing ultrafine fiber networks with metamaterial design to embed into ultra-low elastic modulus hydrogel to create a novel gelatin-based conductive film(GCF)with mechanical programmability.The regulation of GCF nearly covers soft tissue mechanics,an elastic modulus from 20 to 420 kPa,and a Poisson’s ratio from-0.25 to 0.52.The negative Poisson’s ratio promotes conformality with soft tissues to improve the efficiency of biological interfaces.The GCF can monitor heartbeat signals and respiratory rate by determining cardiac deformation due to its high conformability.Notably,the gelatin characteristics of the biodegradable GCF enable the sensor to monitor and support tissue restoration.The GCF metamaterial design offers a unique idea for bioelectronics to develop implantable sensors that integrate monitoring and tissue repair and a customized method for endowing implanted sensors to be highly conformal with soft tissues.

文摘This paper investigates wormhole solutions within the framework of extended symmetric teleparallel gravity,incorporating non-commutative geometry,and conformal symmetries.To achieve this,we examine the linear wormhole model with anisotropic fluid under Gaussian and Lorentzian distributions.The primary objective is to derive wormhole solutions while considering the influence of the shape function on model parameters under Gaussian and Lorentzian distributions.The resulting shape function satisfies all the necessary conditions for a traversable wormhole.Furthermore,we analyze the characteristics of the energy conditions and provide a detailed graphical discussion of the matter contents via energy conditions.Additionally,we explore the effect of anisotropy under Gaussian and Lorentzian distributions.Finally,we present our conclusions based on the obtained results.

文摘Significant progress has recently been made in enhancing the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).The electron transport layer(ETL),as an essential component of PSCs,significantly influences the performance of devices.Traditional spin-coating method for preparing the ETL fails to fully cover the cusp of FTO transparent conductive glass substrate,leading to direct contact between perovskite film and FTO substrate,which induces charge recombination and reduces the performance of PSCs.To address this issue,an in-situ growth method was proposed to prepare conformal SnO_(2) films on FTO glass substrates in this study.The resulting SnO_(2) films are not only dense and uniform,fully covering the cusp of the FTO glass substrates and reducing the contact area between the FTO substrates and the perovskite films,but also facilitating the formation of perovskite films with large grain sizes.Moreover,the conformal SnO_(2) films can improve the charge extraction at the SnO_(2)/perovskite interface,reduce the trap density and trap-assisted recombination in PSCs,and thus enhance the PCE of PSCs.Through comparative experiments,it is found that the PSCs with in-situ grown SnO_(2) films show an improved PCE of 21.97%,which significantly increased compared to that with spin-coated SnO_(2) films(20.93%).All above data demonstrate that the as-prepared SnO_(2) film can serve as an ideal ETL.It is worth mentioning that this method avoids the use of corrosive hydrochloric acid and toxic thioglycolic acid,and it can also be extended to ITO flexible transparent conductive substrates in the future.

文摘Using the harmonic map theory,we study the geometry of conformal minimal twospheres immersed in Q_(6),or a real Grassmannian manifold G(2,8;R)equivalently.Then we classify the linearly full reducible conformal minimal immersions with constant Gaussian curvature from S^(2)to Q_(6)under some conditions.We also construct specific examples of non-congruent two-spheres with the same Gaussian curvature,up to SO(8)-equivalence,for each case.
文摘The design of three-dimensional printing based conformal cooling channels(CCCs)in injection molding holds great significance.Compared to CCCs,conformal cooling(CC)cavity solutions show promise in delivering enhanced cooling performance for plastic products,although they have been underexplored.In this research,CC cavity is designed within the mold geometry,reinforced by body-centered cubic(BCC)lattice structures to enhance mechanical strength.Three distinct BCC lattice variations have been integrated into the CC cavity:the BCC structure,BCC with cubes,and BCC with pillars.The thermal performances of the BCC lattice-added CC cavity are assessed numerically after experimental validation.To provide feasible solutions from viewpoints of thermal performances,various BCC lattice structure thicknesses are analyzed in the range of 0.8–1.2mm.Thermal simulation outcomes reveal that thicker lattice structures enhance mechanical strength but simultaneously lead to an increase in cooling time.Upon examining all the proposed CC cavity solutions supported by BCC,the cooling times range from 2.2 to 4 s,resulting in a reduction of 38.6%to 66.1%when compared to conventional straightdrilled channels.In contrast to CCCs,CC cavities have the potential to decrease the maximum temperature nonuniformity from 8.5 to 6 K.Nevertheless,the presence of lattice structures in CC cavity solutions results in an elevated pressure drop,reaching 2.8MPa,whereas the results for CCCs remain below2.1MPa.
