This paper proposes a design method called the variable Leading-Edge Cone (vLEC) method to address these limitations. In the vLEC method, the waverider is directly designed from the preassigned leading edge and the variable shock angle distribution based on the Leading-Edge Cone (LEC) concept. Since the vLEC method is an approximate method, two test waveriders are designed and evaluated using numerical simulations to validate the shock design accuracy and the effectiveness of the vLEC method. The results show that the shocks of the test waveriders coincide well with the preassigned positions. Furthermore, four specifically designed application cases are conducted to analyze the performance benefits of the vLEC waveriders. The results of these cases indicate that, due to their variable shock angle distributions, the vLEC waveriders exhibit higher lift-to-drag ratios and better longitudinal static stability than conventional waveriders. Additionally, the vLEC waveriders demonstrate superior volumetric capacities near the symmetry plane, albeit with a minor decrease in volumetric efficiency.展开更多

Further development and optimization ...G protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a kinase that regulates cardiac signaling activity. Inhibiting GRK2 is a promising mechanism for the treatment of heart failure (HF). Further development and optimization of inhibitors targeting GRK2 are highly meaningful. Therefore, in order to design GRK2 inhibitors with better performance, the most active molecule was selected as a reference compound from a data set containing 4-pyridylhydrazone derivatives and triazole derivatives, and its scaffold was extracted as the initial scaffold. Then, a powerful optimization-based framework for de novo drug design, guided by binding affinity, was used to generate a virtual molecular library targeting GRK2. The binding affinity of each virtual compound in this dataset was predicted by our developed deep learning model, and the designed potential compound with high binding affinity was selected for molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. It was found that the designed potential molecule binds to the ATP site of GRK2, which consists of key amino acids including Arg199, Gly200, Phe202, Val205, Lys220, Met274 and Asp335. The scaffold of the molecule is stabilized mainly by H-bonding and hydrophobic contacts. Concurrently, the reference compound in the dataset was also simulated by docking. It was found that this molecule also binds to the ATP site of GRK2. In addition, its scaffold is stabilized mainly by H-bonding and π-cation stacking interactions with Lys220, as well as hydrophobic contacts. The above results show that the designed potential molecule has similar binding modes to the reference compound, supporting the effectiveness of our framework for activity-focused molecular design. Finally, we summarized the interaction characteristics of general GRK2 inhibitors and gained insight into their molecule-target binding mechanisms, thereby facilitating the expansion of lead to hit compound.展开更多

文摘The work takes a new liquid-cooling plate in a power battery with pin fins inside the channel as the object.A mathematical model is established via the central composite design of the response surface to study the relationships among the length,width,height,and spacing of pin fins;the maximum temperature and temperature difference of the battery module;and the pressure drop of the liquid-cooling plate.Model accuracy is verified via variance analysis.The new liquid-cooling plate enables the power battery to work within an optimal temperature range.Appropriately increasing the length,width,and height and reducing the spacing of pin fins could reduce the temperature of the power battery module and improve the temperature uniformity.However,the pressure drop of the liquid-cooling plate increases.The structural parameters of the pin fins are optimized to minimize the maximum temperature and the temperature difference of the battery module as well as the pressure drop of the liquid-cooling plate.The errors between the values predicted and actual by the simulation test are 0.58%,4%,and 0.48%,respectively,which further verifies the model accuracy.The results reveal the influence of the structural parameters of the pin fins inside the liquid-cooling plate on its heat dissipation performance and pressure drop characteristics.A theoretical basis is provided for the design of liquid-cooling plates in power batteries and the optimization of structural parameters.

文摘With the raising complexity of modern civil aircraft,both academy and industry have shown strong interests on MBSE(Model-Based System Engineering).However,following the application of MBSE,the duration of the design phase exceeded expectations.This paper conducted a survey to the relevant participants involved in the design,revealed that a lack of proper process management is a critical issue.The current MBSE methodology does not provide clear guidelines for monitoring,controlling,and managing processes,which are crucial for both efficiency and effectiveness.To address this,the present paper introduced an improved Process Model(PM)within the MBSE framework for civil aircraft design.This improved model incorporates three new Management Blocks(MB):Progress Management Block(PMB),Review Management Block(RMB),and Configuration Management Block(CMB),developed based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration(CMMI).These additions aim to streamline the design process and better align it with engineering practices.The upgraded MBSE method with the improved PM offers a more structured approach to manage complex aircraft design projects,and a case study is conducted to validate its potential to reduce timelines and enhance overall project outcomes.

文摘The quasi-rectangular tunnel represents a novel cross-section design,intended to supersede the traditional circular and rectangular tunnel formats.Due to the limited capacity of the tunnel vault to withstand vertical loads,an interior column is often installed at the center to enhance its load-bearing capacity.This study aims to develop a hyperstatic reaction method(HRM)for the analysis of deformation and structural integrity in this specific tunnel type.The computational model is validated through comparison with the corresponding finite element method(FEM)analysis.Following comprehensive validation,an ensemble machine learning(ML)model is proposed,using numerical benchmark data,to facilitate real-time design and optimization.Subsequently,three widely used ensemble models,i.e.random forest(RF),gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT),and extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)are compared to identify the most efficient ML model for replacing the HRM model in the design optimization process.The performance metrics,such as the coefficient of determination R2 of about 0.999 and the mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)of about 1%,indicate that XGBoost outperforms the others,exhibiting excellent agreement with the HRM analysis.Additionally,the model demonstrates high computational efficiency,with prediction times measured in seconds.Finally,the HRM-XGBoost model is integrated with the well-known particle swarm optimization(PSO)for the real-time design optimization of quasi-rectangular tunnels,both with and without the interior column.A feature importance assessment is conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of design input features,enabling the selection of the most critical features for the optimization task.

文摘In the context of Industry 5.0,more emphasis is placed on human-centric smart manufacturing patterns.Product design is a vital phase of smart manufacturing,involving user engagement is an essential factor in enhancing design quality and fostering innovation.With user involvement in-depth,dynamically changing user requirements and feedback bring new problems to the design process,and the traditional linear solving process cannot perceive such variations timely,which causes hysteresis in the solution.The design solution's hysteresis affects the consensus achievement process between the designer and user,further prolonging the iteration cycle.To address this issue,a human-centric product conceptual design model is proposed for the timely translation of such variations into design solutions.In this model,design problems are formed by centering on user requirements,designer and user collaboratively solve the problems to form design solutions.Through a cycle of problem-driven,knowledgesupported,and solution evaluation,new problems are solved promptly to achieve progressive solution convergence,which clarifies the iterative evolution process and improves iterative efficiency.To verify the effectiveness of the model,a natural gas well foaming agent automatic filling device design is presented.

文摘G protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a kinase that regulates cardiac signaling activity. Inhibiting GRK2 is a promising mechanism for the treatment of heart failure (HF). Further development and optimization of inhibitors targeting GRK2 are highly meaningful. Therefore, in order to design GRK2 inhibitors with better performance, the most active molecule was selected as a reference compound from a data set containing 4-pyridylhydrazone derivatives and triazole derivatives, and its scaffold was extracted as the initial scaffold. Then, a powerful optimization-based framework for de novo drug design, guided by binding affinity, was used to generate a virtual molecular library targeting GRK2. The binding affinity of each virtual compound in this dataset was predicted by our developed deep learning model, and the designed potential compound with high binding affinity was selected for molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. It was found that the designed potential molecule binds to the ATP site of GRK2, which consists of key amino acids including Arg199, Gly200, Phe202, Val205, Lys220, Met274 and Asp335. The scaffold of the molecule is stabilized mainly by H-bonding and hydrophobic contacts. Concurrently, the reference compound in the dataset was also simulated by docking. It was found that this molecule also binds to the ATP site of GRK2. In addition, its scaffold is stabilized mainly by H-bonding and π-cation stacking interactions with Lys220, as well as hydrophobic contacts. The above results show that the designed potential molecule has similar binding modes to the reference compound, supporting the effectiveness of our framework for activity-focused molecular design. Finally, we summarized the interaction characteristics of general GRK2 inhibitors and gained insight into their molecule-target binding mechanisms, thereby facilitating the expansion of lead to hit compound.

文摘To ensure the dimensional accuracy of the final blade profile,it is necessary for precision Electrochemical Machining(ECM)of blade profile to come into an equilibrium state.However,after Electrochemical Trepanning(ECTr),the cascade channel of the blisk is narrow,and the blank allowance distribution is uneven,making it difficult for the precision ECM to become balanced.In blisk production,the two-step method cannot make precision ECM enter equilibrium for some blisk types.A three-step processing method is proposed to overcome this problem.The threestep method adds Electrochemical Homogenizing Machining(ECHM)between the ECTr and precision ECM steps so that the blank allowance can be homogenized quickly without unduly affecting the minimum allowance.Comparative machining experiments of the two-and three-step methods were performed to verify the improvement to blade machining accuracy.The processing results show that the contour parameters of the blade after the three-step method implementation are much better.The allowance difference of the concave(convex)side decreased by 70.5%(65%).In addition,the current in the three-step method is stable at 110 A at the end of precision ECM,verifying successfully entering the equilibrium state.

文摘Incorporation of explainability features in the decision-making web-based systems is considered a primary concern to enhance accountability,transparency,and trust in the community.Multi-domain Sentiment Analysis is a significant web-based system where the explainability feature is essential for achieving user satisfaction.Conventional design methodologies such as object-oriented design methodology(OODM)have been proposed for web-based application development,which facilitates code reuse,quantification,and security at the design level.However,OODM did not provide the feature of explainability in web-based decision-making systems.X-OODM modifies the OODM with added explainable models to introduce the explainability feature for such systems.This research introduces an explainable model leveraging X-OODM for designing transparent applications for multidomain sentiment analysis.The proposed design is evaluated using the design quality metrics defined for the evaluation of the X-OODM explainable model under user context.The design quality metrics,transferability,simulatability,informativeness,and decomposability were introduced one after another over time to the evaluation of the X-OODM user context.Auxiliary metrics of accessibility and algorithmic transparency were added to increase the degree of explainability for the design.The study results reveal that introducing such explainability parameters with X-OODM appropriately increases system transparency,trustworthiness,and user understanding.The experimental results validate the enhancement of decision-making for multi-domain sentiment analysis with integration at the design level of explainability.Future work can be built in this direction by extending this work to apply the proposed X-OODM framework over different datasets and sentiment analysis applications to further scrutinize its effectiveness in real-world scenarios.

文摘The penetration of ogival-nosed projectiles into ship plates represents a complex impact dynamics issue essential for analyzing structural failuremechanisms.Although stiffenedplates are vital in ship construction,fewstudies have addressed the issue of model equivalence under penetration loading.This study employs numerical simulation to validate an experiment with an ogival-nosed projectile penetrating a Q345 steel plate.Four equivalent stiffened plate methods are proposed based on the area,flexural modulus,moment of inertia,and thickness.The results indicate that thickness equivalence(DM4)is unsuitable for penetration-loaded stiffened plates,except under low-speed,nonpenetrating through impacts,and yields less accuracy than DM1/DM3.DM1,DM2,and DM3 each perform optimally with specific velocity ranges:DM1 at very low(critical)and high velocities,DM3 at low velocities,and DM2 at high speeds.Furthermore,in penetration scenarios,T-shaped stiffeners can be replacedwith rectangular ones,as both exhibit similar failure behaviors and deflection trends,simplifying the design while preserving key structural characteristics.These findings provide valuable insights into the design of protective ship structures.

文摘Three-dimensional(3D)braided composites have significant potential for use in engineering structural materials.However,conventional 3D braiding machines are insufficient for designing composites with complex geometries.This paper proposes a programmable design methodology for 3D rotary braiding machines using circle-cutting and combination strategies.By introducing varying numbers of incisions on the circle,a diverse range of horn gears can be designed.Different combinations of these cut-circles allow the horn gears to be assembled into various 3D rotary braiders.The parametric equation for the braider plate is derived,showing that a combination strategy involving two cut-circles is feasible for braider design,whereas integrating three cut-circles simultaneously is impossible for a single machine.The construction of an automatic 6-3 type 3D braiding machine demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed design strategy.This flexible braider design approach provides a practical solution for producing 3D braided composites with complex geometries.

文摘Research on detonation has traditionally focused on forward solutions,with limited attention to inverse design methods,which has significantly hindered the development of detonation engines.In this paper,the Method of characteristics for Curved-Detonation(MOCD)is proposed to enable the inverse design of detonation waves.MOCD is based on the Method of Curved-shock Characteristics(MOCC)and integrates higher-order aerodynamic parameters from Curved Detonation Equations(CDE),allowing the calculation of the wedge angle given specific wave angle.The effectiveness of MOCD is validated using both oblique and curved detonation waves with single-step and detailed chemical reactions.Various applications demonstrate the ability to meet the inverse design requirements of detonation engines.For example,inverse design for given wave angles can optimize engine thrust and prevent Mach reflections.Additionally,inverse design schemes tailored to incoming flow conditions,such as varying Mach numbers and equivalence ratios,enhance the feasibility of detonation engines.Applying the method to given post-wave aerodynamic parameters enables more precise engine design,which is crucial for improving propulsion performance and effective thermal protection.In summary,the advantages of MOCD include not only performing a fast solution of the detonation flow field,but also allowing the inverse design of the detonation wave.
