In the model, the laminated beam bases are simulated by the first-order shear deformation laminated plate theory, which is relatively simple and economic but accurate in predicting the vibration solutions of flexible isolation systems with laminated beam bases in comparison with classical laminated beam theories and higher order theories.

文摘Flexible hybrid systems usually combine soft modules(mechanically matched with skin or clothes)and hard modulus(like rigid circuits).However,the risk of interface failure due to modulus mismatch between flexible components and rigid circuits limits the system’s complexity and durability.The diverse features of flexible components further complicate the development of a universal interface.In this work,we demonstrated a cocoon-mimetic feature-matched interface(CFI)that offers stable electrical contact with flexible surface.It also matches flexible systems features in stretchability(lower than 0.22Ωcm^(-1)during 900%elongation),durability(stable resistance after 20000 times 100%elongation),breathability(gas permeability 614 mm S^(-1))and self-adhesive(0.18±0.01 N mm^(-1)).We developed a direct spray-on-skin sensor and used CFI to form a hand task recognition system.This system,deployable in seconds,has 97.7%accuracy in recognition of eight hand tasks.This research offers a promising solution for flexible hybrid systems interfacing challenges.

文摘The deep seabed is known for its abundant reserves of various mineral resources.Notably,the Clarion Clipperton(C-C)mining area in the northeast Pacific Ocean,where China holds exploration rights,is particularly rich in deep-sea polymetallic nodules.These nodules,which are nodular and unevenly distributed in seafloor sediments,have significant industrial exploitation value.Over the decades,the deep-sea mining industry has increasingly adopted systems that combine rigid and flexible risers supported by large surface mining vessels.However,current systems face economic and structural stability challenges,hindering the development of deep-sea mining technology.This paper proposes a new structural design for a deep-sea mining system based on flexible risers,validated through numerical simulations and experimental research.The system composition,function and operational characteristics are comprehensively introduced.Detailed calculations determine the production capacity of the deep-sea mining system and the dimensions of the seabed mining subsystem.Finite element numerical simulations analyze the morphological changes of flexible risers and the stress conditions at key connection points under different ocean current incident angles.Experimental research verifies the feasibility of collaborative movement between two tethered underwater devices.The proposed deep-sea mining system,utilizing flexible risers,significantly advances the establishment of a commercial deep-sea mining system.The production calculations and parameter determinations provide essential references for the system’s future detailed design.Furthermore,the finite element simulation model established in this paper provides a research basis,and the method established in this paper offers a foundation for subsequent research under more complex ocean conditions.The control strategy for the collaborative movement between two tethered underwater devices provides an effective solution for deep-sea mining control systems.

文摘The state estimation of the flexible multibody systems is a vital issue since it is the base of effective control and condition monitoring.The research on the state estimation method of flexible multibody system with large deformation and large rotation remains rare.In this investigation,a state estimator based on multiple nonlinear Kalman filtering algorithms was designed for the flexible multibody systems containing large flexibility components that were discretized by absolute nodal coordinate formulation(ANCF).The state variable vector was constructed based on the independent coordinates which are identified through the constraint Jacobian.Three types of Kalman filters were used to compare their performance in the state estimation for ANCF.Three cases including flexible planar rotating beam,flexible four-bar mechanism,and flexible rotating shaft were employed to verify the proposed state estimator.According to the different performances of the three types of Kalman filter,suggestions were given for the construction of the state estimator for the flexible multibody system.

文摘3D-printed Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene-based interdigital micro-supercapacitors(MSCs)have great potential as energy supply devices in the field of microelectronics due to their short ion diffusion path,high conductivity,excellent pseudocapacitance,and fast charging capabilities.However,searching for eco-friendly aqueous Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene-based inks without additives and preventing severe restack of MXene nanosheets in high-concentration inks are significantly challenging.This study develops an additive-free,highly printable,viscosity adjustable,and environmentally friendly MXene/carbon nanotube(CNT)hybrid aqueous inks,in which the CNT can not only adjust the viscosity of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene inks but also widen the interlayer spacing of adjacent Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene nanosheets effectively.The optimized MXene/CNT composite inks are successfully adopted to construct various configurations of MSCs with remarkable shape fidelity and geometric accuracy,together with enhanced surface area accessibility for electrons and ions diffusion.As a result,the constructed interdigital symmetrical MSCs demonstrate outstanding areal capacitance(1249.3 mF cm^(-2)),superior energy density(111μWh cm^(-2) at 0.4mWcm^(-2)),and high power density(8mWcm^(-2) at 47.1μWh cm^(-2)).Furthermore,a self-powered modular system of solar cells integrated with MXene/CNT-MSCs and pressure sensors is successfully tailored,simultaneously achieving efficient solar energy collection and real-time human activities monitoring.This work offers insight into the understanding of the role of CNTs in MXene/CNT ink.Moreover,it provides a new approach for preparing environmentally friendly MXene-based inks for the 3D printing of high-performance MSCs,contributing to the development of miniaturized,flexible,and self-powered printable electronic microsystems.

文摘The integrated energy systems(IESs)offer a practical solution for achieving low-carbon targets in residential buildings.However,IES encounters several challenges related to increased energy consumption and costs due to fluctuations in renewable energy generation.Leveraging building flexibility to address these power fluctuations within IES is a promising strategy,which requires coordinated control between air-conditioning systems and other IES components.This study proposes a cross-time-scale control framework that contains optimal scheduling and on-the-fly flexible control to reduce the cost impacts of a residential IES system equipped with photovoltaic(PV)panels,batteries,a heat pump,and a domestic hot water tank.The method involves three key steps:solar irradiance prediction,day-ahead optimal scheduling of energy storage,and intra-day flexible control of the heat pump.The method is validated through a high-fidelity residential building model with actual weather and energy usage data in Frankfurt,Germany.Results reveal that the proposed method limits the cost increase to just 2.67% compared to the day-ahead schedule,whereas the cost could increase by 7.39% without the flexible control.Additionally,computational efficiency is enhanced by transforming the mixed-integer programming(MIP)into nonlinear programming(NLP)problem via introducing action-exclusive constraints.This approach offers valuable support for residential IES operations.

文摘For estimating the vibration transmission accurately and performing vibration control efficiently in isolation systems, a novel general model is presented to predict the power flow transmitted into the complicate flexible bases of laminated beams. In the model, the laminated beam bases are simulated by the first-order shear deformation laminated plate theory, which is relatively simple and economic but accurate in predicting the vibration solutions of flexible isolation systems with laminated beam bases in comparison with classical laminated beam theories and higher order theories. On the basis of the presented model, substructure technique and variational principle are employed to obtain the governing equation of the isolation system and the power flow solution. Then, the vibration characteristics of the flexible isolation systems with laminated bases are investigated. Several numerical examples are given to show the validity and efficiency of the presented model. It is concluded that the presented model is the extension of the classical one and it can obtain more accurate power flow solutions.
