The distance of the adjacent stripes could be controlled from 40 μm to 100 μm by decreasing the inclining angle. The oriented nanofibrils in the stripes can be obtained because the P3HT lamellae diffuse directionally and form 1D crystals at the three-phase contact line of the drop. In order to get the oriented P3HT stripes, the proper solvent evaporation rate which is controlled by the inclining angle and the wettability of the substrate must be carefully chosen to match the P3HT 1D crystallization rate. It is found that large inclining angle and the hydrophilic substrate （for example： glass and PEDOT） are beneficial to get P3HT stripe structure with oriented nanofibrils.展开更多

This experiment is a time consuming process for both real-life tests and ship model experiments. The difficulty is mainly due to a bias in the measurement of heel angle. Nowadays, digital inclinometers are available, but they are expensive. In this study, the use of a smartphone application is presented for ship inclination and rolling-period tests. The idea consists of using accelerometer and gyroscope sensors built into the current smartphones for the measurements. Therefore, some experiments are carried out on an example trawler model to exhibit the uses and advantages of this method. The obtained results are in good agreement with those provided from the pendulum method and natural roll-period test. This application is new, easy, and more accurately assesses metacentric height during the inclining and rolling-period tests.展开更多

文摘The preparation of the poly（3-hexylthiophene） （P3HT） stripe structure with oriented nanofibrils prepared by controlled inclining evaporative technique is reported. The distance of the adjacent stripes could be controlled from 40 μm to 100 μm by decreasing the inclining angle. The oriented nanofibrils in the stripes can be obtained because the P3HT lamellae diffuse directionally and form 1D crystals at the three-phase contact line of the drop. In order to get the oriented P3HT stripes, the proper solvent evaporation rate which is controlled by the inclining angle and the wettability of the substrate must be carefully chosen to match the P3HT 1D crystallization rate. It is found that large inclining angle and the hydrophilic substrate （for example： glass and PEDOT） are beneficial to get P3HT stripe structure with oriented nanofibrils.

文摘Coal mine underground reservoir(CMUR) technology mitigates water scarcity in China's coal-rich western regions but lacks tailored solutions for steeply inclined coal seams.This study develops a novel framework of steeply inclined coal mine underground reservoirs(SICMUR),which is a paradigm shift from conventional CMUR that the coal seam itself serves as the reservoir floor,challenging conventional designs due to depth-dependent permeability and mechanical constraints.Triaxial mechanical-seepage tests on Xinjiang Wudong coal samples(100,200,300 m depths) revealed a 3.5 MPa triaxial strength increase per 100 m depth and a 58-fold post-peak permeability surge at 300 versus 100 m.Similar model simulations revealed mining-induced stress redistribution and significant deformation effects,particularly subsidence and water-conducting fractures during lower coal seam mining.Results indicate a minimum 40 m safety distance between reservoirs and lower coal seams.Critical construction parameters were investigated for Wudong mine SICMUR as collapse zone heights(9.9–12.31 m) and waterconducting fracture zone heights(31.96–37.40 m).This work systematically bridges SICMUR concepts to field implementation,offering a framework for water preservation in steeply inclined mining while addressing safety concerns,providing a new approach for water reservation in steeply inclined coal mining.

文摘Ensuring the stability of the surrounding rock mass is of great importance during the construction of a large underground powerhouse.The presence of unfavorable structural planes within the rock mass,such as faults,can lead to substantial deformation and subsequent collapse.A series of in situ experiments and discrete element numerical simulations have been conducted to gain insight into the progressive failure behavior and deformation response of rocks in relation to controlled collapse scenarios involving gently inclined faults.First,the unloading damage evolution process of the surrounding rock mass is characterized by microscopic analysis using microseismic(MS)data.Second,the moment tensor inversion method is used to elucidate the temporal distribution of MS event fracture types in the surrounding rock mass.During the development stage of the collapse,numerous tensile fracture events occur,while a few shear fractures corresponding to structural plane dislocation precede their occurrence.The use of the digital panoramic borehole camera,acoustic wave test,and numerical simulation revealed that gently inclined faults and deep cracks at a certain depth from the cavern periphery are the primary factors contributing to rock collapse.These results provide a valuable case study that can help anticipate and mitigate fault-slip collapse incidents while providing practical insights for underground cave excavation.

文摘This study focuses on steeply inclined and extremely thick coal seams(SIETCS)characterized by immense thickness,a steep inclination of coal seams(87°),and high horizontal stress.The geological conditions and mining technology associated with SIETCS differ significantly from those of generally inclined coal seams,resulting in notable variations in roadway stress distributions.On SIETCS have predominantly examined the impact of rock layers flanking coal seams on rock bursts,with limited emphasis on SIETCS roadways.This study employs comprehensive methods,integrating numerical simulations,theoretical analyses,and field detections to investigate the stress distribution of SIETCS and the mechanisms of rock burst-induced vertical damage,subsequently validated in situ.The vertical stress in SIETCS is minimal,while horizontal stress is concentrated,leading to the formation of layered crack structures(LCS)that distribute above and below the roadways.Additionally,elastic energy significantly concentrates within the LCS.Axial dynamic compressive stress and vertical dynamic tensile stress along the LCS diminish its stability,readily triggering failure.During the LCS failure process,the stored energy is released,converting into kinetic energy required for coal body ejection after reaching the minimum energy for failure and dissipative energy,ultimately leading to rock burst-induced vertical damage in roadways.On-site detection and analysis within SIETCS,along with historical rock burst data,confirm the existence of LCS and its role in inducing vertical rock burst damage.This research establishes essential foundations for preventing rock bursts within SIETCS.

文摘This paper investigates the configuration design associated with boundary-constrained swarm flying.An analytic swarm configuration is identified to ensure the passive safety between each pair of spacecraft in the radial-cross-track plane.For the first time,this work derives the explicit configurable spacecraft amount to clarify the configuration's accommodation capacity while considering the maximum inter-spacecraft separation constraint.For larger-scale design problem that involves hundreds of spacecraft,this paper proposes an optimization framework that integrates a Relative Orbit Element(ROE)affine transformation operation and successional convex optimization.The framework establishes a multi-subcluster swarm structure,allowing decoupling the maintenance issues of each subcluster.Compared with previous design methods,it ensures that the computational cost for constraints verification only scales linearly with the swarm size,while also preserving the configuration optimization capacities.Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed analytic configuration strictly meets the design constraints.It is also shown that the proposed framework reduces the handled constraint amount by two orders compared with direct optimization,while achieving a remarkable swarm safety enhancement based on the existing analytic configuration.

文摘The Combined-GEO-IGSO constellation is the combination of Geostationary Earth Orbit(GEO) satellite and Inclining GeoSynchronous Orbit(IGSO) satellite.The Combined-GEO-IGSO constellation can integrate the advantages of GEO and IGSO to achieve regional coverage.In order to discuss the performances of the Combined-GEO-IGSO constellation,the performances of coverage,elevation,diversity,and transmission are simulated in China and surrounding regions by Satellite Tool Kit(STK).The simulation results show that:the combined constellation can reach higher multi-satellite coverage and higher communication elevation in China and surrounding areas;the Doppler shift,delay,and propagation loss of this constellation have little impact on the system.As regional coverage constellation,the Combined-GEO-IGSO is feasible.
文摘Nathaniel Hawthorne not only strongly condemns the belief that men are more evil than good, but also conveys the inclination towards good through the Scarlet Letter. The characters like Hester Prynne, Dimmesdale, Chillingworth and even the community are the specific examples. Despite the fact that good and evil coexist in human nature, human beings are liable to be strongly affected and controlled by the striving towards good.
文摘The inclining experiment is the only regulatory tool to assess ship stability. This experiment is a time consuming process for both real-life tests and ship model experiments. The difficulty is mainly due to a bias in the measurement of heel angle. Nowadays, digital inclinometers are available, but they are expensive. In this study, the use of a smartphone application is presented for ship inclination and rolling-period tests. The idea consists of using accelerometer and gyroscope sensors built into the current smartphones for the measurements. Therefore, some experiments are carried out on an example trawler model to exhibit the uses and advantages of this method. The obtained results are in good agreement with those provided from the pendulum method and natural roll-period test. This application is new, easy, and more accurately assesses metacentric height during the inclining and rolling-period tests.
文摘Positioning accuracy of the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS) can be analyzed by Positioning Dilution Of Precision(PDOP).In order to enhance the navigating performance of Asia and the Pacific areas,this paper analyzes the next generation BeidouTM navigation satellite system(CompassTM) enhanced by Geostationary Earth Orbit(GEO) and Inclining GeoSynchronized Orbit(IGSO).As global navigation satellite system,CompassTM must be robust enough to avoid system layoff,when some nodes are not available.So,the CompassTM enhanced by GEO and IGSO constellation is proposed and analyzed its PDOP proformance,this paper shows some exciting results of performance of CompassTM enhanced by GEO and IGSO.From the simulation results,we can found that:when more than fifteen satellites are invalid,the enhanced system could be operating normally.
