This paper reports a strain sensor with synergistic conductive network, consisting of stable carbon nanotube dispersion (CNT) layer and brittle MXene layer by dip-coating and electrostatic self-assembly method, and breathable three-dimensional (3D) flexible substrate of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fibrous membrane prepared through electrospinning technology. The MXene/CNT@PDA-TPU (MC@p-TPU) flexible strain sensor had excellent air permeability, wide operating range (0–450 %), high sensitivity (Gauge Factor, GFmax = 8089.7), ultra-low detection limit (0.05 %), rapid response and recovery times (40 ms/60 ms), and excellent cycle stability and durability (10,000 cycles). Given its superior strain sensing capabilities, this sensor can be applied in physiological signals detection, human motion pattern recognition, and driving exoskeleton robots. In addition, MC@p-TPU fibrous membrane also exhibited excellent photothermal conversion performance and can be used as a wearable photo-heater, which has far-reaching application potential in the photothermal therapy of human joint diseases.展开更多

However, the backward motion always generates for some piezoelectric actuators, which reduces the working efficiency. Bionic motions have already been employed in the field of piezoelectric actuators to realize better performance. By imitating the movement form of seals, seal type piezoelectric actuator is capable to realize large operating strokes easily. Nevertheless, the conventional seal type piezoelectric actuator has a complicated structure and control system, which limits further applications. Hence, an improved bionic piezoelectric actuator is proposed to realize a long motion stroke and eliminate backward movement with a simplified structure and control method in this study. The composition and motion principle of the designed actuator are discussed, and the performance is investigated with simulations and experiments. Results confirm that the presented actuator effectively realizes the linear movement that has a large working stroke stably without backward motion. The smallest stepping displacement ΔL is 0.2 μm under 1 Hz and 50 V. The largest motion speed is 900 μm/s with 900 Hz and 120 V. The largest vertical and horizontal load are 250 g and 12 g, respectively. This work shows that the improved bionic piezoelectric actuator is feasible for eliminating backward motion and has a great working ability.展开更多

文摘Internal learning-based video inpainting methods have shown promising results by exploiting the intrinsic properties of the video to fill in the missing region without external dataset supervision.However,existing internal learning-based video inpainting methods would produce inconsistent structures or blurry textures due to the insufficient utilisation of motion priors within the video sequence.In this paper,the authors propose a new internal learning-based video inpainting model called appearance consistency and motion coherence network(ACMC-Net),which can not only learn the recurrence of appearance prior but can also capture motion coherence prior to improve the quality of the inpainting results.In ACMC-Net,a transformer-based appearance network is developed to capture global context information within the video frame for representing appearance consistency accurately.Additionally,a novel motion coherence learning scheme is proposed to learn the motion prior in a video sequence effectively.Finally,the learnt internal appearance consistency and motion coherence are implicitly propagated to the missing regions to achieve inpainting well.Extensive experiments conducted on the DAVIS dataset show that the proposed model obtains the superior performance in terms of quantitative measurements and produces more visually plausible results compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

文摘This study experimentally investigates the oscillatory dynamics of wind-driven droplets using high-speed imaging to capture droplet profiles within the symmetry plane and to characterize their natural oscillation frequencies.Results reveal that the eigenfrequencies vary spatially due to distinct oscillation modes occurring at different droplet locations.Notably,the fundamental eigenfrequency decreases with reducing droplet volume,while droplet viscosity exerts minimal influence on this frequency.Prior to the onset of motion,the dynamic contact angle consistently remains between the advancing and receding angles.The inertial forces generated by droplet oscillation are found to be significantly greater than the adhesion forces,indicating that classical static models are inadequate for capturing inertial contributions to droplet motion.These findings offer new insights into the role of oscillatory behavior in influencing the dynamics of droplet motion,and contribute to a more detailed understanding of wind-driven droplet transport phenomena.

文摘This study aimed to identify and compensate for the geometric errors of the double swiveling axes in a five-axis computer numerical control(CNC)machining center.Hence,a three-dimensional coordinate calculation algorithm for a measured point with additional rotational rigid body motion constraints is proposed.The motion constraints of the rotational rigid body were analyzed,and a mathematical model of the measured point algorithm in the swiveling axes was established.The Levenberg-Marquard method was used to solve the nonlinear superstatically determined equations.The spatial coordinate error was used to separate the spatial deviation of the measured point.An identification model of the position-independent and position-dependent geometric errors was established.The three-dimensional coordinate-solving algorithm of the measured point in the swiveling axis and geometric error identification method based on the Monte Carlo method were analyzed numerically.Geometric error measurement and cutting experiments were performed on a VMC25100U five-axis machining center,which integrated two swiveling axes.Geometric errors of the A-and B-axes were identified and measured experimentally.The angular positioning errors before and after compensation were measured using a laser interferometer,which verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.A cutting experiment of a round table part was performed.The shape and position accuracy of the processed part before and after compensation were detected using a coordinate measuring machine.It verified that the geometric error of the swiveling axis was effectively compensated by the algorithm proposed herein.

文摘The flocculation behavior of carbon black (CB)-filled isoprene rubber (IR) nanocomposites was systematically investigated under both dynamic and static conditions to unravel the distinct mechanisms governing filler network evolution.Under dynamic conditions,small oscillatory shear strains (0.1%) significantly enhanced filler particle motion,leading to pronounced agglomeration and a flocculation degree of about 4.3MPa at 145℃.In contrast,static flocculation exhibited a fundamentally different mechanism dominated by polymer chain dynamics,which is driven mainly by thermal activation.Radial distribution function (RDF) analysis of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed a slight decrease (2 nm) in the interparticle distance peak after static annealing at 100℃ for 7 h,indicating localized motion of CB particles.However,the overall filler network remained stable,with no significant agglomeration observed.The increase in bound rubber content from about 23% to 28% with rising temperature further confirmed the dominant role of polymer chain adsorption and interfacial reinforcement in static flocculation.These findings highlight the critical influence of external strain on filler network formation and provide new insights into the polymer-dominated mechanism of static flocculation.The results offer practical guidance for optimizing the storage and processing of rubber nanocomposites,particularly in applications where static flocculation during prolonged storage is a concern.

文摘In recent years,significant research attention has been directed towards swarm intelligence.The Milling behavior of fish schools,a prime example of swarm intelligence,shows how simple rules followed by individual agents lead to complex collective behaviors.This paper studies Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning to simulate fish schooling behavior,overcoming the challenges of tuning parameters in traditional models and addressing the limitations of single-agent methods in multi-agent environments.Based on this foundation,a novel Graph Convolutional Networks(GCN)-Critic MADDPG algorithm leveraging GCN is proposed to enhance cooperation among agents in a multi-agent system.Simulation experiments demonstrate that,compared to traditional single-agent algorithms,the proposed method not only exhibits significant advantages in terms of convergence speed and stability but also achieves tighter group formations and more naturally aligned Milling behavior.Additionally,a fish school self-organizing behavior research platform based on an event-triggered mechanism has been developed,providing a robust tool for exploring dynamic behavioral changes under various conditions.

文摘This study examines the coupling analysis between box roll motion response and free surface oscillation in a narrow gap,utilizing a two-box system comprising a small roll box and a large fixed box.The potential flow model reveals a two-peak variation in both roll motion response and free surface oscillation across incident wave frequencies.Free decay tests indicate that these frequencies correspond to the first and second resonant frequencies of the roll-fixed two-box system.Viscous fluid flow model simulations demonstrate a two-peak behavior in roll motion response,while free surface oscillation exhibits a single peak near the second resonant frequency.Repositioning the small roll box from upstream to downstream results in increased roll motion amplitude around the first resonant frequency.The roll-box with round edge profiles exhibits beating behavior in motion response,resulting in increased roll motion amplitude across a broad frequency range.Notably,wave energy at the first resonant frequency component remains undamped by round edge profiles.
文摘Research has been conducted on dry coal selection technology to achieve efficient and clean utilization of coal and reduce water resource waste.To investigate the effective separation of 6-1 mm fine coal using this approach,the vibrating cascade sorter was examined,with particular attention given to its dynamic characteristics and motion behavior.Dry coal vibrating cascade sorter motion simulation experiments were carried out and the mechanical system motion characteristics of the vibrating cascade sorter were simulated and analyzed using multi-body dynamics software ADAMS,including the motion curve and spatial trajectory of the sorter body.Theoretical calculations of the sorter body’s motion characteristics,including displacement amplitude,velocity amplitude,and acceleration amplitude,were compared with simulation results derived from multi-body dynamics.The comparison revealed a strong agreement between the computational model and analytical predictions,with a maximum deviation of less than 3.75%.The dynamic behavior of the vibrating cascade sorter at various rotational speeds was evaluated and contrasted against predictive models,with the highest discrepancy between the observed and predicted outcomes being less than 7.6%.

文摘Multifunctional flexible sensors as wearable electronic systems have attracted considerable attention for mimicking human skin to sense ambient stimuli.However,sensors need to have high resolution,stability and sensitivity to realize fully biomimetic skin.Here,an assembled and welded Ag/W composite nanowire flexible electrode was prepared for body motion monitoring and flexible heaters.This Ag/W composite nanowire flexible electrode has a high transmittance of 90.1%(at 121Ω·sq^(−1) sheet resistance)and a low sheet resistance of 27Ω·sq^(−1)(at 60.1%transmittance).Although the transparency of this electrode is not high,the fluctuation in relative resistance change rate at 10%strain is only 5%after 1000 tensile cycles.It can be employed to monitor human body motions,including bending of fingers,arms,wrists,and throat action.Meanwhile,the Ag/W nanowires composite film heater achieves a steady-state temperature of up to 100℃ at a constant voltage of 3.5 V and an instantaneous heating rate of up to 36.5℃·s^(−1).
