Multiscale techniques are often prohibitively expensive for large models, while neural networks struggle to represent underlying microscopic material properties. To overcome these challenges, a meso-micro scale numerical method using a virtual node approach is developed in this study. A Wbraid/Al/Epoxy functional structural material is fabricated, and a representative periodic unit cell is identified based on its architecture. The complex structure is then discretized into nodes, and mechanical interactions are governed by pre-defined computation rules. This virtual node method is systematically compared against both multiscale simulation and a neural network algorithm, with validation provided through mechanical experiments. The results demonstrate that the nodal operation strategy significantly reduces computational resource requirements. By quantifying microscopic bonding with coefficients, explicit interface treatment is avoided, granting the method strong adaptability to lattice materials. The method can simulate extremely complex structures using parameters from simple tests and is suited for large systems. Compared to three-point bending experiments, errors for multiscale, virtual node, and neural network methods were 12.4%, 6.9%, and 34.5%, respectively. Under dynamic compression, the errors were 2.7%, 9.3%, and 15.43%. The virtual node method demonstrated superior accuracy under static conditions, enabling efficient prediction and auxiliary development of complex structural materials.展开更多

文摘Storm-enhanced density(SED)and the tongue of ionization(TOI)are key ionospheric storm-time structures whose rapid evolution and fine-scale variability remain challenging to capture with conventional empirical high-latitude drivers.In this study,we examine the May 10–11,2024,superstorm using the Thermosphere–Ionosphere–Electrodynamics General Circulation Model(TIEGCM)with observation-constrained high-latitude forcing.Auroral precipitation parameters(energy flux and mean energy)are assimilated from a Defense Meteorological Satellite Program(DMSP)Special Sensor Ultraviolet Spectrographic Imager(SSUSI)using a multi-resolution Gaussian process(Lattice Kriging)approach,whereas high-latitude convection potentials are derived by assimilating Super Dual Auroral Radar Network(SuperDARN)observations with the Thomas and Shepherd(2018)model(TS18).For comparison,an additional simulation is performed using empirical models for both convection and auroral forcing.The results show that during the main phase of the May 10 storm,the data-driven simulation provides a more realistic depiction of the SED source region than does the empirical model run by capturing its rapid intensification more clearly and reproducing its spatial location and structural features with higher fidelity.These improvements lead to a more accurate representation of its poleward extension into the polar cap that develops into the TOI.Above the ionospheric F2 peak over the SED source region,SuperDARN-constrained potentials generate stronger and more localized E×B drifts that dominate plasma uplift and drive its transport into the polar cap,although neutral winds and downward ambipolar diffusion partially offset these effects.Below the F2 peak,neutral winds and photochemical processes play a major role in shaping the spatial extent and intensity of the SED and TOI.These results highlight the role of observation-constrained high-latitude drivers in representing ionosphere–thermosphere responses during extreme storms and suggest their relevance for improving physical interpretation and model performance.

文摘The development of collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy for studying the nuclear structure of nickel isotopes far from the stability line relies on high-efficiency two-color two-step photoionization pathways.We systematically investigated the even-parity autoionization spectrum of atomic nickel through resonance ionization mass spectrometry(RIMS).Fifteen intense single-color photoionization lines and corresponding transitions in the 300-325 nm range were identified and excluded as potential interference peaks for subsequent two-color studies.Fifty-one even-parity autoionization states in the 64000-66800 cm^(-1)range were identified for the first time by scanning from five intermediate excited states of the3d^(8)(^(3)F)4s4p(^(3)P^(o))configuration.Forty-eight of these states were assigned unique total angular momentum quantum numbers(J)based on electric dipole transition selection rules.The autoionization state at 64437.77 cm^(-1)was identified as an optimal final state for enhancing photoionization efficiency in two-color two-step pathways.This study provides comprehensive datasets of even-parity autoionization states of nickel,supporting both the advancement of collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy for exotic nickel isotopes and theoretical modeling of autoionization states.The datasets are openly available at https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00113.00280.

文摘Burden is one of the main parameters in blast design.However,field tests,either single-or multi-hole blasts,used to determine an appropriate burden,are difficult to capture crack propagation,evolution of breakage angle,and the mechanism governing these processes in the rock.In this study,a single-hole bench blasting model is developed using LS-DYNA software to comprehensively investigate the relationship between burden and rock breakage.The simulation results show that the breakage angle decreases with the increase in burden,and the blasted volume reaches a peak value with a burden of 4 m.Meanwhile,backbreak distance increases with increasing burden.The optimum burden in this simulation is found to be 4.0 m,as the ratio of burden to blasthole diameter is equal to 20.62 and the ratio of burden to bench height is 0.44,based on a comprehensive analysis of the blasted volume,average damage,and total damage.Under the optimum burden condition,tensile stress wave regions are simultaneously generated at the free surfaces of both the bench top and bench slope,allowing more effective utilization of the two free surfaces and resulting in a more uniform damage distribution within the burden region.

文摘In this investigation,a hybrid approach integrating the IDDES turbulence model and FW-H is employed to forecast the hydroacoustic of the rim driven thruster(RDT)under non-cavitation and uniform flow conditions at varying loading conditions(J=0.3 and J=0.6).It is revealed that the quadrupole term contribution in the P-FWH method significantly affects the monopole term in the low-frequency region,while it mainly affects the dipole term in the high-frequency region.Specifically,the overall sound pressure levels(SPL)of the RDT using the P-FWH method are 2.27 dB,10.03 dB,and 16.73 dB at the receiving points from R1 to R3 under the heavy-loaded condition,while they increase by 0.67 dB at R1,and decrease by 14.93 dB at R2,and 22.20 dB at R3,for the light-loaded condition.The study also utilizes the pressure-time derivatives to visualize the numerical noise and to pinpoint the dynamics of the vortex cores,and the optimization of the grid design can significantly reduce the numerical noise.The computational accuracy of the P-FWH method can meet the noise requirements for the preliminary design of rim driven thrusters.
文摘Ice crystal icing is an important cause of accidents in aircraft engines.Ice formation in aircraft engines can cause internal blades to freeze,affecting the quality of the air flow field and blocking the flow path.On the other hand,the entry of ice crystal particles into the combustion chamber can cause a decrease in temperature or even flameout,leading to engine surge or shutdown.Therefore,it is necessary to conduct multiphase flow tests on ice crystals for aircraft components such as aircraft engines.Conducting ice crystal multiphase flow tests on aircraft is an effective research method,but it requires the construction of an ice crystal multiphase flow test platform that meets relevant technical requirements.The paper focuses on the relevant experimental requirements and combines wind tunnel test structures to conduct multiphase flow numerical simulations on various forms of jet pipelines,obtaining particle motion distribution results.After comparison,the optimal form of jet structure is obtained,providing the best selection scheme for the design of relevant wind tunnel structures.

文摘Machine learning-assisted methods for rapid and accurate prediction of temperature field,mushy zone,and grain size were proposed for the heating−cooling combined mold(HCCM)horizontal continuous casting of C70250 alloy plates.First,finite element simulations of casting processes were carried out with various parameters to build a dataset.Subsequently,different machine learning algorithms were employed to achieve high precision in predicting temperature fields,mushy zone locations,mushy zone inclination angle,and billet grain size.Finally,the process parameters were quickly optimized using a strategy consisting of random generation,prediction,and screening,allowing the mushy zone to be controlled to the desired target.The optimized parameters are 1234℃for heating mold temperature,47 mm/min for casting speed,and 10 L/min for cooling water flow rate.The optimized mushy zone is located in the middle of the second heat insulation section and has an inclination angle of roughly 7°.

文摘Adhesively bonded joints are widely used in modern lightweight structures due to their high strengthto-weight ratio and design flexibility.However,the reliable non-destructive evaluation of bond integrity remains a significant challenge.This study presents a numerical investigation of adhesively bonded joints with different adhesive properties using ultrasonic guided waves.The main focus of the investigation is to evaluate the feasibility of using guided waves to assess bond integrity,particularly for detecting challenging weak bonds.For this purpose,a theoretical analysis of dispersion curves was conducted,revealing that the S0 Lamb wave mode is significantly sensitive to variations in adhesive properties in the 300-700 kHz frequency range.Finite element modelling was used to analyse the propagation of guided waves in two scenarios:an adhesively bonded aluminum structure and a more complex configuration-adhesively bonded lap joints.The Short-Time Fourier Transform(STFT)was used to process the obtained results and determine the group velocities of guided waves.By analysing the group velocity characteristics,their dependence on the adhesive properties was identified.In the first scenario,a clear separation of S0 modes from A0 modes was observed in the STFT analysis,with a decrease in group velocity as adhesive stiffness increased.For the more complex lap joint scenario,the separation between A0 and S0 modes was less distinct.However,the analysis of the average group velocity shows a dependence of average group velocity on adhesive properties.This is similar to the first scenario.There is a decrease in average group velocity as adhesive stiffness increases.The results obtained demonstrate that guided wavebased methods have a high potential for non-destructive evaluation of adhesively bonded structures,including the detection of weak bonds.

文摘As binary geological media,soil-rock mixtures(SRMs)exhibit a distinct gradational composition,leading to their unique mechanical behaviors.To appraise the stability of SRM slopes,it is essential to determine equivalent parameters of SRMs,which are typically obtained through experimental and numerical methods.In contrasted to other numerical methods,the numerical manifold method(NMM)is more effective in addressing SRM problems.This is because the high-precision regular mathematical meshes in NMM can be used without aligning with the soil-rock interfaces and boundaries of SRMs.In the current research,the equivalent strength parameters of SRMs,i.e.the equivalent cohesion ce and internal friction angleϕ_(e),are determined using NMM.Initially,an NMM triaxial numerical model is established and validated based on triaxial experiments.Subsequently,the soil and rock parameters are derived through parameter inversion.Moreover,the impacts of rock content,size,shape and rock blocks'major-axis orientation on ce andϕ_(e) of SRMs are thoroughly examined using the NMM triaxial numerical model.Additionally,a fitting function is proposed to linkϕ_(e) to the rock content and size of SRMs.When other influencing factors are fixed,the above fitting model leads to the following conclusions:(1)the predictedϕ_(e) of SRMs increase with the increase of rock content;and(2)SRM samples with smaller rocks display a higher predictedϕ_(e).

文摘Regenerative catalytic oxidizers(RCO)are widely used to remove volatile organic compounds(VOCs)due to their energy-saving and stability.In this study,a multi-component catalytic reaction model was constructed to numerically investigate the reaction process of hydrocarbon-containing VOCs in RCO using computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation.To obtain the conversion characteristics of multi-component hydrocarbons,the effects of intake load,equivalence ratio,and the composition of multi-component hydrocarbons on the flow,heat transfer,and conversion rate of the reactor were analyzed.A feasibility study plan targeting the hard-to-convert components was also proposed.The results indicated that as the load increases,the conversion rates of the various components decrease,while the reaction rates increase.Moreover,increasing the flow velocity intensifies turbulence and enhances the collision frequency between the gas and the wall surfaces.This,in turn,amplifies the resistance effect of the porous medium.As the equivalence ratio of VOCs to oxygen increases,the oxygen-deficient condition leads to a decrease in the molecular weight of the hydrocarbons involved in the reaction.The reaction temperature also shows a downward trend.A comparative analysis of the catalytic combustion characteristics of multi-component VOCs and single-component gases reveals that adding ethane and propane can facilitate methane oxidation.

文摘Prenatal exposure to bisphenols and metals has raised significant concerns regarding their potential impact on fetal development,particularly the risk of fetal chromosome numerical abnormalities(CNA).In this case-control study,we analyzed bisphenol and metal concentrations in amniotic fluid of high-risk pregnant women undergoing amniocentesis.Concentrations of bisphenols and metals were measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry,respectively.Logistic regression and quantile-based g-computation were applied to evaluate individual and combined effects,while dose-response relationships were assessed using restricted cubic splines.Our findings indicated that bisphenol S(BPS),bisphenol Z(BPZ),bisphenol AF(BPAF),antimony(Sb),and vanadium(V)were significantly associated with an increased risk of CNA when analyzed individually,whereas manganese,iron,copper(Cu),nickel(Ni),and zinc(Zn)were significantly and inversely associated with CNA risk.Combined exposure to bisphenol and metal mixtures was associated with an increased risk of CNA in multi-pollutant models.Cu and Ni exhibited a positive additive interaction.Furthermore,BPS,BPZ,and BPAF were individually associated with an increased risk of Down syndrome,while Zn was associated with a decreased risk of Down syndrome.BPS,Sb,V,and Zn were individually associated with an increased risk of Klinefelter syndrome.These findings underscore the potential role of prenatal bisphenol and metal exposure in the pathogenesis of fetal CNA,highlighting both additive and synergistic effects.
文摘Existing numerical methods for complex composites, such as multiscale simulation and neural network algorithms, face significant limitations. Multiscale techniques are often prohibitively expensive for large models, while neural networks struggle to represent underlying microscopic material properties. To overcome these challenges, a meso-micro scale numerical method using a virtual node approach is developed in this study. A Wbraid/Al/Epoxy functional structural material is fabricated, and a representative periodic unit cell is identified based on its architecture. The complex structure is then discretized into nodes, and mechanical interactions are governed by pre-defined computation rules. This virtual node method is systematically compared against both multiscale simulation and a neural network algorithm, with validation provided through mechanical experiments. The results demonstrate that the nodal operation strategy significantly reduces computational resource requirements. By quantifying microscopic bonding with coefficients, explicit interface treatment is avoided, granting the method strong adaptability to lattice materials. The method can simulate extremely complex structures using parameters from simple tests and is suited for large systems. Compared to three-point bending experiments, errors for multiscale, virtual node, and neural network methods were 12.4%, 6.9%, and 34.5%, respectively. Under dynamic compression, the errors were 2.7%, 9.3%, and 15.43%. The virtual node method demonstrated superior accuracy under static conditions, enabling efficient prediction and auxiliary development of complex structural materials.
文摘Hydraulic fracturing serves as a critical technology for reservoir stimulation in deep coalbed methane(CBM)development,where the mechanical properties of gangue layers exert a significant control on fracture propagation behavior.To address the unclear mechanisms governing fracture penetration across coal-gangue interfaces,this study employs the Continuum-Discontinuum Element Method(CDEM)to simulate and analyze the vertical propagation of hydraulic fractures initiating within coal seams,based on geomechanical parameters derived from the deep Benxi Formation coal seams in the southeastern Ordos Basin.The investigation systematically examines the influence of geological and operational parameters on cross-interfacial fracture growth.Results demonstrate that vertical stress difference,elastic modulus contrast between coal and gangue layers,interfacial stress differential,and interfacial cohesion at coal-gangue interfaces are critical factors governing hydraulic fracture penetration through these interfaces.High vertical stress differences(>3 MPa)inhibit interfacial dilation,promoting predominant crosslayer fracture propagation.Reduced interfacial stress contrasts and enhanced interfacial cohesion facilitate fracture penetration across interfaces.Furthermore,smaller elastic modulus contrasts between coal and gangue correlate with increased interfacial aperture.Finally,lower injection rates effectively suppress vertical fracture propagation in deep coal reservoirs.This study elucidates the characteristics and mechanisms governing cross-layer fracture propagation in coal–rock composites with interbedded partings,and delineates the dynamic evolution laws and dominant controlling factors involved.Thefindings provide critical theoretical insights for the optimization of fracture design and the efficient development of deep coalbed methane reservoirs.

文摘Marine thin plates are susceptible to welding deformation owing to their low structural stiffness.Therefore,the efficient and accurate prediction of welding deformation is essential for improving welding quality.The traditional thermal elastic-plastic finite element method(TEP-FEM)can accurately predict welding deformation.However,its efficiency is low because of the complex nonlinear transient computation,making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid engineering evaluation.To address this challenge,this study proposes an efficient prediction method for welding deformation in marine thin plate butt welds.This method is based on the coupled temperature gradient-thermal strain method(TG-TSM)that integrates inherent strain theory with a shell element finite element model.The proposed method first extracts the distribution pattern and characteristic value of welding-induced inherent strain through TEP-FEM analysis.This strain is then converted into the equivalent thermal load applied to the shell element model for rapid computation.The proposed method-particularly,the gradual temperature gradient-thermal strain method(GTG-TSM)-achieved improved computational efficiency and consistent precision.Furthermore,the proposed method required much less computation time than the traditional TEP-FEM.Thus,this study lays the foundation for future prediction of welding deformation in more complex marine thin plates.

文摘Based on the surrounding rock arching and hingeless arch structure theories,a theoretical formula for the minimum overburden thickness was derived.By substituting different mechanical parameters of multiple tunnels at home and abroad into this formula,minimum self-supporting arch formulas under different surrounding rock classes were obtained.Based on the actual engineering case of a dual-mode shield tunnel,a numerical model for the tunnel boring machine excavation mode was established to verify the theoretical formulas.Next,three surrounding rock classes,four soil layer thickness gradients,and twelve overburden thickness gradients were designed,resulting in 144 models formed by the combination of the three factors.Uniform tests were conducted,and the pressure arch heights under different surrounding rock classes were obtained.The results show that in the theoretical formulas,the tunnel radius has a linear positive correlation with the pressure arch height,while the tunnel depth has a linear positive correlation with the square of the pressure arch height.According to numerical simulation results,the pressure arch height increases with the increase of the overburden thickness and then tends toward a critical value of twice the tunnel diameter.Finally,the results of the numerical model are in good agreement with those calculated using the theoretical formulas,verifying the rationality of the established theoretical formulas.

文摘Energy shortage has become one of themost concerning issues in the world today,and improving energy utilization efficiency is a key area of research for experts and scholars worldwide.Small-diameter heat exchangers offer advantages such as reduced material usage,lower refrigerant charge,and compact structure.However,they also face challenges,including increased refrigerant pressure drop and smaller heat transfer area inside the tubes.This paper combines the advantages and disadvantages of both small and large-diameter tubes and proposes a combined-diameter heat exchanger,consisting of large and small diameters,for use in the indoor units of split-type air conditioners.There are relatively few studies in this area.In this paper,A theoretical and numerical computation method is employed to establish a theoretical-numerical calculation model,and its reliability is verified through experiments.Using this model,the optimal combined diameters and flow path design for a combined-diameter heat exchanger using R32 as the working fluid are derived.The results show that the heat transfer performance of all combined diameter configurations improves by 2.79%to 8.26%compared to the baseline design,with the coefficient of performance(COP)increasing from 4.15 to 4.27~4.5.These designs can save copper material,but at the cost of an increase in pressure drop by 66.86%to 131.84%.The scheme IIIH,using R32,is the optimal combined-diameter and flow path configuration that balances both heat transfer performance and economic cost.

文摘The India-Asia collision resulted in the formation of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.Lower crustal flow model was proposed to explain the mechanism of Cenozoic tectonic deformation of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.In this study,we propose a new approach by combining centrifugal analog modeling with numerical simulation to simulate the tectonic uplift history of the plateau based on the lower crustal flow model,and to investigate the material migration characteristics and the influence of crustal motion velocity and ductile layer viscosity on the plateau tectonic geomorphology.The models reproduce steep-sided flat-topped geomorphic features and clockwise rotation of the material at eastern Himalayan Syntaxis,verifying the rationality of the models.The results show that the greater the crustal motion velocity and the greater the ductile layer viscosity,the steeper the terrain change;and conversely,the smaller the crustal motion velocity and the smaller the ductile layer viscosity,the gentler the terrain change.This study further indicates that the weak lower crust plays an important role in the formation of geomorphic features and material migration characteristics of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,and provides a new insight for the study of the uplift mechanism of the Tibetan Plateau.
