文摘Accurate water level measurement in nuclear reactors,particularly in PWRs(pressurized water reactors)and BWRs(boiling water reactors),is essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of reactor operations.K-type HJTCs(heated junction thermocouples)are widely used for this purpose due to their ability to withstand extreme temperatures and radiation conditions.This article explores the role of HJTCs in reactor water level measurement and compares the performance of 2-wire and 3-wire connections.While the 2-wire connection is simple and cost-effective,it can introduce measurement inaccuracies due to wire resistance.In contrast,the 3-wire connection compensates for lead resistance,offering more precise and reliable measurements,particularly in long-distance applications.This paper discusses the operational considerations of these wiring configurations in the context of nuclear reactors and highlights the importance of choosing the appropriate connection type to optimize safety and measurement accuracy in PWR and BWR reactors.

文摘As iconic structures in Dong ethnic villages of Guizhou,drum towers hold significant cultural and architectural value.However,research on their mechanical behavior,particularly the mechanical performance of their joints,remains limited,with numerical simulation studies lagging behind theoretical and experimental investigations.This study first establishes an orthotropic elastoplastic constitutive model for timber based on experimental data from Chuandou-style timber structures,determining key parameters such as elastic modulus,shear strength,and plastic strain.Subsequently,a refined finite element model was established using ABAQUS,and its reliability was validated through comparative analysis of stress nephograms,skeleton curves,and other key outcomes with experimental data.The findings provide valuable references for engineering design.

文摘The Arctic plays a pivotal role in the Earth’s climate system,with its rapid transformation exerting profound impacts on global climate dynamics,ecosystems,and human societies.In recent decades,Arctic warming has significantly outpaced the global mean temperature increase,driving the enhanced sea ice decline,the accelerated mass loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet,permafrost degradation,and glacier retreat.These changes modulate atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns,establishing teleconnections with mid-and low-latitude climate systems.Investigating the historical evolution,current state,and projected future trends of the Arctic climate system,as well as its global impacts,is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms underlying Arctic amplification,refining climate change projections,attributing extreme weather and climate events,and informing sustainable development strategies.

文摘In order to accommodate higher speeds,heavier axle weights,and vibration damping criteria,a new floating slab structure was proposed.The new type of floating slab track structure was composed of three prefabricated floating slabs longitudinally interconnected with magnesium ammonium phosphate concrete(MPC).This study investigated the dynamic performance of the structure.We constructd a full-scale indoor experimental model to scrutinize the disparities in the impact performance between a longitudinally connected floating slab track and its longitudinally disconnected counterpart.Additionally,a long-term fatigue experiment was conducted to assess the impact performance of longitudinally connected floating slab tracks under fatigue loading.The findings are described in the following.1)The new structure effectively suppresses ground vibrations,exhibiting a well-balanced energy distribution profile.However,the imposition of fatigue loading leads to a reduction in the damping performance of the steel spring damping system,thereby reducing its capacity to attenuate structural vibrations and leading to an increase in ground vibration energy;2)After 107 loading cycles,the attenuation rate of the vibration acceleration for the MPC increases by 171.9%.Conversely,at the corresponding disconnected location,the attenuation rate of ground vibration acceleration decreases by 65.6%.In conclusion,longitudinally connected floating slab tracks exhibit superior vibration reduction performance.While the vibration reduction performance of longitudinally connected floating slab tracks may diminish to some extent during long-term service,these tracks continue to meet specific vibration reduction requirements.

文摘Seismic fragility analysis of three-tower cable-stayed bridges with three different structural systems,including rigid system(RS),floating system(FS),and passive energy dissipation system(PEDS),is conducted to study the effects of connection configurations on seismic responses and fragilities.Finite element models of bridges are established using OpenSees.A new ground motion screening method based on the statistical characteristic of the predominant period is proposed to avoid irregular behavior in the selection process of ground motions,and incremental dynamic analysis(IDA)is performed to develop components and systems fragility curves.The effects of damper failure on calculated results for PEDS are examined in terms of seismic response and fragility analysis.The results show that the bridge tower is the most affected component by different structural systems.For RS,the fragility of the middle tower is significantly higher than other components,and the bridge failure starts from the middle tower,exhibiting a characteristic of local failure.For FS and PEDS,the fragility of the edge tower is higher than the middle tower.The system fragility of RS is higher than FS and PEDS.Taking the failure of dampers into account is necessary to obtain reliable seismic capacity of cable-stayed bridges.

文摘The efficient development of the urban economy is a major concern of scholars in the fields of geography and urban science.In the context of globalization,informatization,industrialization,and urbanization,the external relationships of China's cities are experiencing the joint action of urban scale hierarchies and connection networks(“hierarchy-network”).However,under the interactive effect of the two,the mechanism of urban economic efficiency(UEE)is unclear.Therefore,based on Baidu migration data,the regionalization with dynamically constrained agglomerative clustering and partitioning(REDCAP)method,and a spatial simultaneous equation model,this paper analyzes the UEE spatial pattern and mechanism in China.The results indicate that:(1)the urban economy has a superlinear relationship with the population size.However,the benefit of this superlinear growth is in marginal decline.(2)The UEE shows a pattern of differentiation between China's eastern,then central,and then western region.Also,local differences are found within the three major sub-regions.(3)The increase of urban network centrality can promote UEE,while the impact of urban scale is negative.(4)There is regional heterogeneity of the interactive effect of“hierarchy-network”on UEE.This study reveals the influencing mechanism of UEE and also provides policy implications for the development of UEE.

文摘The increasing demand for industrial automation and intelligence has put forward higher requirements for the reliability of industrial wireless communication technology.As an international standard based on 802.11,Wireless networks for Industrial Automation-Factory Automation(WIA-FA)greatly improves the reliability in factory automation scenarios by Time Division Multiple Access(TDMA).However,in ultra-dense WIA-FA networks with mobile users,the basic connection management mechanism is inefficient.Most of the handover and resource management algorithms are all based on frequency division multiplexing,not suitable for the TDMA in the WIA-FA network.Therefore,we propose Load-aware Connection Management(LACM)algorithm to adjust the linkage and balance the load of access devices to avoid blocking and improve the reliability of the system.And then we simulate the algorithm to find the optimal settings of the parameters.After comparing with other existing algorithms,the result of the simulation proves that LACM is more efficient in reliability and maintains high reliability of more than 99.8%even in the ultra-dense moving scenario with 1500 field devices.Besides,this algorithm ensures that only a few signaling exchanges are required to ensure load bal-ancing,which is no more than 5 times,and less than half of the best state-of-the-art algorithm.
