DBs can stably exist in the 2D discrete diatomic Klein-Gordon lattice with hard and soft on-site potentials. When a parametric driving term is introduced in the factor multiplying the harmonic part of the on-site potential of the system, we can obtain the stable quasiperiodic discrete breathers （QDBs） and chaotic discrete breathers （CDBs） by changing the amplitude of the driver. But the DBs and QDBs with symmetric and anti-symmetric profiles that are centered at a heavy atom are more stable than at a light atom, because the frequencies of the DBs and QDBs centered at a heavy atom are lower than those centered at a light atom.展开更多

文摘Wellbore breakout is one of the critical issues in drilling due to the fact that the related problems result in additional costs and impact the drilling scheme severely.However,the majority of such wellbore breakout analyses were based on continuum mechanics.In addition to failure in intact rocks,wellbore breakouts can also be initiated along natural discontinuities,e.g.weak planes and fractures.Furthermore,the conventional models in wellbore breakouts with uniform distribution fractures could not reflect the real drilling situation.This paper presents a fully coupled hydro-mechanical model of the SB-X well in the Tarim Basin,China for evaluating wellbore breakouts in heavily fractured rocks under anisotropic stress states using the distinct element method(DEM)and the discrete fracture network(DFN).The developed model was validated against caliper log measurement,and its stability study was carried out by stress and displacement analyses.A parametric study was performed to investigate the effects of the characteristics of fracture distribution(orientation and length)on borehole stability by sensitivity studies.Simulation results demonstrate that the increase of the standard deviation of orientation when the fracture direction aligns parallel or perpendicular to the principal stress direction aggravates borehole instability.Moreover,an elevation in the average fracture length causes the borehole failure to change from the direction of the minimum in-situ horizontal principal stress(i.e.the direction of wellbore breakouts)towards alternative directions,ultimately leading to the whole wellbore failure.These findings provide theoretical insights for predicting wellbore breakouts in heavily fractured rocks.

文摘We study a two-dimensional （2D） diatomic lattice of anhaxmonic oscillators with only quartic nearest-neighbor interactions, in which discrete breathers （DBs） can be explicitly constructed by an exact separation of their time and space dependence. DBs can stably exist in the 2D discrete diatomic Klein-Gordon lattice with hard and soft on-site potentials. When a parametric driving term is introduced in the factor multiplying the harmonic part of the on-site potential of the system, we can obtain the stable quasiperiodic discrete breathers （QDBs） and chaotic discrete breathers （CDBs） by changing the amplitude of the driver. But the DBs and QDBs with symmetric and anti-symmetric profiles that are centered at a heavy atom are more stable than at a light atom, because the frequencies of the DBs and QDBs centered at a heavy atom are lower than those centered at a light atom.
文摘The flexible satellite batch production line is a complex discrete production system with multiple cross-disciplinary fields and mixed serial parallel tasks.As the source of the satellite batch production line process,the warehousing system has urgent needs such as uncertain production scale and rapid iteration and optimization of business processes.Therefore,the requirements and architecture of complex discrete warehousing systems such as flexible satellite batch production lines are studied.The physical system of intelligent equipment is abstracted as a digital model to form the underlying module,and a digital fusion framework of“business domain+middleware platform+intelligent equipment information model”is constructed.The granularity of microservice splitting is calculated based on the dynamic correlation relationship between user access instances and database table structures.The general warehousing functions of the platform are divided to achieve module customization,addition,and configuration.An open discrete warehousing system based on microservices is designed.Software architecture and design develop complex discrete warehousing systems based on the SpringCloud framework.This architecture achieves the decoupling of business logic and physical hardware,enhances the maintainability and scalability of the system,and greatly improves the system’s adaptability to different complex discrete warehousing business scenarios.

文摘Image watermarking is a powerful tool for media protection and can provide promising results when combined with other defense mechanisms.Image watermarking can be used to protect the copyright of digital media by embedding a unique identifier that identifies the owner of the content.Image watermarking can also be used to verify the authenticity of digital media,such as images or videos,by ascertaining the watermark information.In this paper,a mathematical chaos-based image watermarking technique is proposed using discrete wavelet transform(DWT),chaotic map,and Laplacian operator.The DWT can be used to decompose the image into its frequency components,chaos is used to provide extra security defense by encrypting the watermark signal,and the Laplacian operator with optimization is applied to the mid-frequency bands to find the sharp areas in the image.These mid-frequency bands are used to embed the watermarks by modifying the coefficients in these bands.The mid-sub-band maintains the invisible property of the watermark,and chaos combined with the second-order derivative Laplacian is vulnerable to attacks.Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that this approach is effective for common signal processing attacks,i.e.,compression,noise addition,and filtering.Moreover,this approach also maintains image quality through peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)and structural similarity index metrics(SSIM).The highest achieved PSNR and SSIM values are 55.4 dB and 1.In the same way,normalized correlation(NC)values are almost 10%–20%higher than comparative research.These results support assistance in copyright protection in multimedia content.
文摘This paper presents the dynamical properties of a discrete-time prey-predator model with refuge in prey under imprecise biological parameters.We consider the refuge concept of prey,which is proportional to the density of prey species with interval parameters.The model develops with natural interval parameters since the uncertainties of parameters of any ecological system are a widespread phenomenon in nature.The equilibria of the model are obtained,and the dynamic behaviours of the proposed system are examined.Simulations of the model are performed for different parameters of the model.Numerical simulations show that the proposed discrete model exhibits rich dynamics of a chaotic and complex nature.Our study,through analytical derivation and numerical example,presents the effect of refuge on population dynamics under imprecise biological parameters.

文摘Nonuniform track support and differential settlements are commonly observed in bridge approaches where the ballast layer can develop gaps at crosstie-ballast interfaces often referred to as a hanging crosstie condition.Hanging crossties usually yield unfavorable dynamic effects such as higher wheel loads,which negatively impact the serviceability and safety of railway operations.Hence,a better understanding of the mechanisms that cause hanging crossties and their effects on the ballast layer load-deformation characteristics is necessary.Since the ballast layer is a particulate medium,the discrete element method(DEM),which simulates ballast particle interactions individually,is ideal to explore the interparticle contact forces and ballast movements under dynamic wheel loading.Accurate representations of the dynamic loads from the train and track superstructure are needed for high-fidelity DEM modeling.This paper introduces an integrated modeling approach,which couples a single-crosstie DEM ballast model with a train–track–bridge(TTB)model using a proportional–integral–derivative control loop.The TTB–DEM model was validated with field measurements,and the coupled model calculates similar crosstie displacements as the TTB model.The TTB–DEM provided new insights into the ballast particle-scale behavior,which the TTB model alone cannot explore.The TTB–DEM coupling approach identified detrimental effects of hanging crossties on adjacent crossties,which were found to experience drastic vibrations and large ballast contact force concentrations.

文摘The mechanical properties of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs)can limit their mechanical stability and lifespan.Understanding the correlation between the microstructure and mechanical properties of porous electrode is essential for enhancing the performance and durability of SOFCs.Accurate prediction of mechanical properties of porous electrode can be achieved by microscale finite element modeling based on three-dimensional(3D)microstructures,which requires expensive 3D tomography techniques and massive computational resources.In this study,we proposed a cost-effective alternative approach to access the mechanical properties of porous electrodes,with the elastic properties of La_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.2)Fe_(0.8)O_(3-δc)athode serving as a case study.Firstly,a stochastic modeling was used to reconstruct 3D microstructures from two-dimensional(2D)cross-sections as an alternative to expensive tomography.Then,the discrete element method(DEM)was used to predict the elastic properties of porous ceramics based on the discretized 3D microstructures reconstructed by stochastic modeling.Based on 2D microstructure and the elastic properties calculated by the DEM modeling of the 3D reconstructed porous microstructures,a convolutional neural network(CNN)based deep learning model was built to predict the elastic properties rapidly from 2D microstructures.The proposed combined framework can be implemented with limited computational resources and provide a basis for rapid prediction of mechanical properties and parameter estimation for multiscale modeling of SOFCs.

文摘Shield tunnel,composed of several segments,is widely used in urban underground engineering.When the tunnel is under load,relative displacement occurs between adjacent segments.In the past,distributed optical fiber sensing technology was used to perform strain monitoring,but there is an urgent need to determine how to transform strain into displacement.In this study,optical frequency domain reflectometry was applied in laboratory tests.Aiming at the shear process and center settlement process of shield tunnel segments,two kinds of quantitative calculation methods were put forward to carry out a quantitative analysis.Meanwhile,the laboratory test process was simulated numerically utilizing the discrete element numerical analysis method.Optical fiber,an atypical geotechnical material,was innovatively applied for discrete element modeling and numerical simulation.The results show that the measured displacement of the dial gauge,the calculated results of the numerical model,and the displacement quantitatively calculated from the optical fiber data agree with each other in general.The latter two methods can potentially be utilized in engineering application of deformation monitoring at shield tunnel joints,but need to be further calibrated and adjusted in detail.

文摘With the development of cyber-physical systems,system security faces more risks from cyber-attacks.In this work,we study the problem that an external attacker implements covert sensor and actuator attacks with resource constraints(the total resource consumption of the attacks is not greater than a given initial resource of the attacker)to mislead a discrete event system under supervisory control to reach unsafe states.We consider that the attacker can implement two types of attacks:One by modifying the sensor readings observed by a supervisor and the other by enabling the actuator commands disabled by the supervisor.Each attack has its corresponding resource consumption and remains covert.To solve this problem,we first introduce a notion of combined-attackability to determine whether a closedloop system may reach an unsafe state after receiving attacks with resource constraints.We develop an algorithm to construct a corrupted supervisor under attacks,provide a verification method for combined-attackability in polynomial time based on a plant,a corrupted supervisor,and an attacker's initial resource,and propose a corresponding attack synthesis algorithm.The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by an example.

文摘Accurate prediction of wastewater treatment plants(WWTPs) influent quality can provide valuable decision-making support to facilitate operations and management.However,since existing methods overlook the data noise generated from harsh operations and instruments,while the local feature pattern and long-term dependency in the wastewater quality time series,the prediction performance can be degraded.In this paper,a discrete wavelet transform and convolutional enhanced Transformer(DWT-Ce Transformer) method is developed to predict the influent quality in WWTPs.Specifically,we perform multi-scale analysis on time series of wastewater quality using discrete wavelet transform,effectively removing noise while preserving key data characteristics.Further,a tightly coupled convolutional-enhanced Transformer model is devised where convolutional neural network is used to extract local features,and then these local features are combined with Transformer's self-attention mechanism,so that the model can not only capture long-term dependencies,but also retain the sensitivity to local context.In this study,we conduct comprehensive experiments based on the actual data from a WWTP in Shaanxi Province and the simulated data generated by BSM2.The experimental results show that,compared to baseline models,DWT-Ce Transformer can significantly improve the prediction performance of influent COD and NH_(3)-N.Specifically,MSE,MAE,and RMSE improve by 78.7%,79.5%,and 53.8% for COD,and 79.4%,70.2%,and 54.5% for NH_(3)-N.On simulated data,our method shows strong improvements under various weather conditions,especially in dry weather,with MSE,MAE,and RMSE for COD improving by 68.9%,48.0%,and 44.3%,and for NH_(3)-N by 78.4%,54.8%,and 53.2%.

文摘The nonlinear dynamic characteristics of a two-peak discrete chaotic system are studied.Through the study of the nonlinear dy‐namic behavior of the system,it is found that with the change of the system parameters,the system starts from a chaotic state,and then goes through intermittent chaos,stable region,period-doubling bifurcation to a chaotic state again.The systems critical conditions and pro‐cess to generate intermittent chaos are analyzed.The feedback control method sets linear and nonlinear controllers for the system to control the chaos.By adjusting the value of control parameters,the intermittent chaos can be delayed or disappear,and the stability region and period-doubling bifurcation process of the system can be expanded.Both linear controllers and nonlinear controllers have the same control effect.The numerical simulation analysis verifies the correctness of the theoretical analysis.

文摘Hydraulic fracturing,an effective method for enhancing coal seam productivity,largely determines coalbed methane(CBM)production,which is significantly influenced by geological and engineering factors.This study focuses on the L block to investigate the mechanisms influencing efficient fracture propagation and enhanced stimulated reservoir volume(SRV)in fracturing.To explore the mechanisms influencing effective fracture propagation and enhanced SRV,the L block was selected as the research object,with a comprehensive consideration of geological background,reservoir properties,and dynamic production data.By combining the discrete lattice method with numer-ical analysis and true triaxial experimental simulation,the fracture morphology of a single cluster and the propagation patterns of multiple clusters of complex fractures were obtained.Additionally,the optimization of temporary plugging timing and the fracture map under multiple factors were innovatively proposed.Results indicate that greater flow rate and viscosity can effectively overcome the stress shadow effect of the outermost fractures(1st and 6th clusters),increasing the fracture pressure of the single cluster and the equilibrium degree of multiple fracture propagation,thus forming a more complex fracture network.Moreover,when viscosity exceeds 45 pressure concentrates at fracture mPa⋅s,tips,promoting discontinuous propagation and reducing flow resistance.Conversely,increased gangue thickness and spacing between horizontal wells increase the vertical propagation pressure,suppressing fracture growth and reducing central flow velocity.This study provides a multi-cluster fracture propagation map for optimizing volumetric fracturing in coal seams and suggests that the optimal temporary plugging time significantly enhances the SRV.
