The N + 2 transversal network method is applied to study a coupled resonator filter. This method allowed us to determine the polynomials of the reflection and transmission coefficients. A study is made for a 4 poles filter with 2 transmission zeros between the N + 2 transversal network method and the one found in the literature. A MATLAB code was designed for the numerical simulation of these coefficients for the 6, 8, and 10 pole filter with 4 transmission zeros.展开更多

文摘Hydraulic fracturing technology has played an important role in the exploitation of unconventional oil and gas resources,however,its application to gas hydrate reservoirs has been rarely studied.Currently,there is still limited understanding of the propagation and extension of fractures around the wellbore during the fracturing process of horizontal wells in hydrate reservoirs,as well as the stress interference patterns between fractures.This study simulates hydraulic fracturing processes in hydrate reservoirs using a fluidsolid coupling discrete element method(DEM),and analyzes the impacts of hydrate saturation and geological and engineering factors on fracture extension and stress disturbance.The results show that hydraulic fracturing is more effective when hydrate saturation exceeds 30%and that fracture pressure increases with saturation.The increase in horizontal stress differential enhances the directionality of fracture propagation and reduces stress disturbance.The distribution uniformity index(DUI)reveals that injection pressure is directly proportional to the number of main fractures and inversely proportional to fracturing time,with fracturing efficiency depending on the spacing between injection points and the distance between wells.This work may provide reference for the commercial exploitation of natural gas hydrates.
文摘Spurious forces are a significant challenge for multi-scale methods,e.g.,the coupled atomistic/discrete dislocation(CADD)method.The assumption of isotropic matter in the continuum domain is a critical factor leading to such forces.This study aims to minimize spurious forces,ensuring that atomic dislocations experience more precise forces from the continuum domain.The authors have already implemented this idea using a simplified and unrealistic slipping system.To create a comprehensive and realistic model,this paper considers all possible slip systems in the face center cubic(FCC)lattice structure,and derives the required relationships for the displacement fields.An anisotropic version of the three-dimensional CADD(CADD3D)method is presented,which generates the anisotropic displacement fields for the partial dislocations in all the twelve slip systems of the FCC lattice structure.These displacement fields are tested for the most probable slip systems of aluminum,nickel,and copper with different anisotropic levels.Implementing these anisotropic displacement fields significantly reduces the spurious forces on the slip systems of FCC materials.This improvement is particularly pronounced at greater distances from the interface and in more anisotropic materials.Furthermore,the anisotropic CADD3D method enhances the spurious stress difference between the slip systems,particularly for materials with higher anisotropy.

文摘The properties of the magnetic mold in magnetic mold casting directly determine the quality of the final cast parts.In this study,the magnetic mold properties in magnetic mold casting,were studied utilizing a coupled electromagnetic-structural method through numerical simulation.This study investigated key factors including equivalent stress,the distribution of tensile and compressive stresses,and the area ratio of tensile stress.It compared molds made entirely of magnetic materials with those made partially of magnetic materials.Simulation results indicate that as current increases from 4 A to 8 A,both the initial magnetic mold and the material-replaced magnetic mold initially show an increasing trend in equivalent stress,tensile-compressive stress,and the area ratio of tensile stress,peaking at 6 A before declining.After material replacement,the area ratio of tensile stress at 6 A decreases to 19.84%,representing a reduction of 29.72%.Magnetic molds comprising a combination of magnetic and non-magnetic materials exhibit sufficient strength and a reduced area ratio of tensile stress compared to those made entirely from magnetic materials.This study provides valuable insights for optimizing magnetic mold casting processes and offers practical guidance for advancing the application of magnetic molds.

文摘42CrMo steel has the characteristics of high strength,high wear resistance,high impact resistance,and fatigue resistance.Therefore,drilling 42CrMo steel has always been a challenging task.The indexable drill bit has the advantages of high processing efficiency and low processing cost and has been widely used in the field of aerospace hole processing.To better understand the machining mechanism of the indexable drill bit,this paper uses the Coupled EulerianLagrangian method(CEL)to simulate the three-dimensional drilling model for the first time.The simulation results of the drilling force obtained by the CEL method and Lagrangian method are compared with the experimental results.It is verified that the CEL method is easy to converge and can avoid the problem of program interruption caused by mesh distortion,and the CEL simulation value is more consistent with the actual value.Secondly,the simulation results of cutting force and blade cutting edge node temperature under different process parameters are extracted.The variation of time domain cutting force,frequency domain cutting force and tool temperature with process parameters are obtained.This study provides a new method for the prediction of cutting performance and the optimization of process parameters of indexable drills.

文摘In this paper,two types of fractional nonlinear equations in Caputo sense,time-fractional Newell–Whitehead equation(FNWE)and time-fractional generalized Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV system(HS-cKdVS),are investigated by means of the q-homotopy analysis method(q-HAM).The approximate solutions of the proposed equations are constructed in the form of a convergent series and are compared with the corresponding exact solutions.Due to the presence of the auxiliary parameter h in this method,just a few terms of the series solution are required in order to obtain better approximation.For the sake of visualization,the numerical results obtained in this paper are graphically displayed with the help of Maple.

文摘The Laguerre polynomial method has been successfully used to investigate the dynamic responses of a half-space.However,it fails to obtain the correct stress at the interfaces in a layered half-space,especially when there are significant differences in material properties.Therefore,a coupled Legendre-Laguerre polynomial method with analytical integration is proposed.The Rayleigh waves in a one-dimensional(1D)hexagonal quasicrystal(QC)layered half-space with an imperfect interface are investigated.The correctness is validated by comparison with available results.Its computation efficiency is analyzed.The dispersion curves of the phase velocity,displacement distributions,and stress distributions are illustrated.The effects of the phonon-phason coupling and imperfect interface coefficients on the wave characteristics are investigated.Some novel findings reveal that the proposed method is highly efficient for addressing the Rayleigh waves in a QC layered half-space.It can save over 99%of the computation time.This method can be expanded to investigate waves in various layered half-spaces,including earth-layered media and surface acoustic wave(SAW)devices.

文摘In this paper,a simple direct space-time semi-analytical meshless scheme is proposed for the numerical approximation of the coupled Burgers'equations.During the whole solution procedure,two different schemes are considered in terms of radial and non-radial basis functions.The time-dependent variable in the first radial scheme is directly considered as the normal space variables to formulate an"isotropic"space-time radial basis function.The second non-radial scheme considered relationship between time-dependent and spacedependent variables.Under such circumstance,we can get a one-step space-time meshless scheme.The numerical findings demonstrate that the proposed meshless schemes are precise,user-friendly,and effective in solving the coupled Burgers'equations.
文摘This paper presents a new approach to synthesize admittance function polynomials and coupling matrices for coupled resonator filters. The N + 2 transversal network method is applied to study a coupled resonator filter. This method allowed us to determine the polynomials of the reflection and transmission coefficients. A study is made for a 4 poles filter with 2 transmission zeros between the N + 2 transversal network method and the one found in the literature. A MATLAB code was designed for the numerical simulation of these coefficients for the 6, 8, and 10 pole filter with 4 transmission zeros.

文摘In this paper,the multi-body coupled dynamic characteristics of a semisubmersible platform and an HYSY 229 barge were investigated.First,coupled hydrodynamic analysis of the HYSY 229 barge and the semisubmersible platform was performed.Relevant hydrodynamic parameters were obtained using the retardation function method of three-dimensional frequency-domain potential flow theory.The results of the hydrodynamic analysis were highly consistent with the test findings,verifying the accuracy of the multifloating hydrodynamic coupling analysis,and key hydrodynamic parameters were solved for different water depths and the coupling effect.According to the obtained results,the hydrodynamic influence was the largest in shallow waters when the coupling effect was considered.Furthermore,the coupled motion equation combined with viscous damping,fender system,and mooring system was established,and the hydrodynamics,floating body motion,and dynamic response of the fender system were analyzed.Motion analysis revealed good agreement among the surge,sway,and yaw motions of the two floating bodies.However,when the wave period reached 10 s,the motion of the two floating bodies showed severe shock,and a relative motion was also observed.Therefore,excessive constraints should be added between the two floating bodies during construction to ensure construction safety.The numerical analysis and model test results of the semisubmersible platform and HYSY 229 barge at a water depth of 42 m and sea conditions of 0°,45°,and 90° were in good agreement,and the error was less than 5%.The maximum movement of the HYSY 229 barge reached 2.61 m in the sway direction,whereas that of the semisubmersible platform was 2.11 m.During construction,excessive constraints should be added between the two floating bodies to limit their relative movement and ensure construction safety.
文摘The electrical performance of radomes on high-speed aircraft can be influenced by the thermal and mechanical loads produced during high-speed flight,which can affect the detection dis-tance and accuracy of the guidance system.This paper presents a new method that uses the Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD)method to calculate the electrical performance of radomes under Thermo-Mechanical-Electrical(TME)coupling.This method can accurately characterize the effects of material dielectric temperature drift and structural deformation on the electrical performance of the radome under flight conditions,enabling high-precision full-wave calculations of the broadband electrical performance of the radome.The method initiates by utilizing a Finite Element Grid Model(FE-GM)of the radome to sequentially acquire the radome's response temperature field and structural deformation field through thermal and mechanical simulations.Subsequently,spatial mapping techniques are developed to accurately incorporate the dielectric temperature drift and structural deformation of the radome into its Yee grid Electromagnetic(EM)simulation model.A verification case was designed to test the proposed method,and the results confirmed its high computational accuracy.Additionally,the effectiveness and necessity of the method were further demonstrated by analyzing the electrical performance of a fused silica ceramic radome used on a high-speed aircraft.

文摘This paper presents the development of a coupled modeling approach to simulate cryogenic thermo-hydro-mechanical(THM)processes associated with a freezing medium,which is then implemented in the combined finite-discrete element method code(FDEM)for multi-physics simulation.The governing equations are deduced based on energy and mass conservation,and static equilibrium equations,considering water/ice phase change,where the strong couplings between multi-fields are supplemented by critical coupling parameters(e.g.unfrozen water content,permeability,and thermal conductivity).The proposed model is validated against laboratory and field experiments.Results show that the cryogenic THM model can well predict the evolution of strongly coupled processes observed in frozen media(e.g.heat transfer,water migration,and frost heave deformation),while also capturing,as emergent properties of the model,important phenomena(e.g.latent heat,cryogenic suction,ice expansion and distinct three-zone distribution)caused by water/ice phase change at laboratory and field scales,which are difficult to be all revealed by existing THM models.The novel modeling framework presents a gateway to further understanding and predicting the multi-physical coupling behavior of frozen media in cold regions.

文摘Extensive high-speed railway(HSR)network resembled the intricate vascular system of the human body,crisscrossing mainlands.Seismic events,known for their unpredictability,pose a significant threat to both trains and bridges,given the HSR’s extended operational duration.Therefore,ensuring the running safety of train-bridge coupled(TBC)system,primarily composed of simply supported beam bridges,is paramount.Traditional methods like the Monte Carlo method fall short in analyzing this intricate system efficiently.Instead,efficient algorithm like the new point estimate method combined with moment expansion approximation(NPEM-MEA)is applied to study random responses of numerical simulation TBC systems.Validation of the NPEM-MEA’s feasibility is conducted using the Monte Carlo method.Comparative analysis confirms the accuracy and efficiency of the method,with a recommended truncation order of four to six for the NPEM-MEA.Additionally,the influences of seismic magnitude and epicentral distance are discussed based on the random dynamic responses in the TBC system.This methodology not only facilitates seismic safety assessments for TBC systems but also contributes to standard-setting for these systems under earthquake conditions.

文摘The production of hydrogen on offshore platform can decrease reliance on the power grid,mitigate transmission losses of electricity,and diminish investment costs for subsea cables.In this study,the hydrodynamic performances of platforms equipped with two types of tanks separately are evaluated and are comprehensively compared with each other.The Volume of Fluid(VOF)two-phase flow model and the Shear−Stress Transport(SST)k−omega turbulence model are applied to simulate the motion responses of the C-type and Moss-type tanks under the same excitation force of platform based on the time-frequency response results of platforms.Comparisons are made among the shape of the liquid hydrogen surface,variations of the wall pressures,changes of the gas-liquid temperatures,and the pressure drop phenomena induced by phase changes inside the tanks.The results indicate that the interaction between wave-induced excitation force and sloshing force from tanks can either increase or decrease the amplitude of platform’s motion.Meanwhile,the thermodynamic responses of liquid hydrogen sloshing inside the tanks correlate positively with the dynamic behavior.Compared with Moss-type tanks,the sloshing of liquid hydrogen in C-type tanks is more intense,accompanied by jetting and breaking wave phenomena.For the C-type tanks,the substantial increase in interfacial area significantly enhances phase change condensation and heat transfer,leading to the rapid decline in temperature and pressure inside the tanks.The results of this study can provide valuable insights for the future design of floating hydrogen storage platform and the selection of tanks on the platform.
