The dimension accuracy of the tenon is assessed and the results indicate that it completely meets the requirement of blade tenon of aero-engine. Residual stresses, surface roughness, microstructure and microhardness are measured on ground surfaces of the specimen, which are all compared with that ground with vitrified CBN wheels. Under all the circumstances, compressive residual stress is obtained and the depth of the machining affected zone is found to be less than 40 μm. No phase transformation is observed at depths of up to 100 lain below the surface, though plastic deformation is visible in the process of grain refinement. The residual stress and microhardness of specimens ground with brazed CBN wheels are observed to be lower than those ground with vitrified ones. The arithmetic mean roughness （Ra） values obtained are all below 0.8μm.展开更多

A group of Zr-Al-Ni-Cu and Cu-Zr-Ti-Ni bulk metallic glasses were designed based on the dc and their de values were predicted by the ANN model. Zr-Al-Ni-Cu and Cu-Zr-Ti-Ni bulk metallic glasses were prepared by injecting into copper mold. The amorphous structures and the determination of the dc of as-cast alloys were ascertained using X-ray diffraction. The results show that the predicted de values of glass forming alloys are in agreement with the corresponding experimental values. Thus the developed ANN model is reliable and adequate for designing the composition and predicting the de of glass forming alloy.展开更多

Seismic waves are signals with a definite frequency bandwidth and the waveform is affected by all the frequency components in the band. The results will not define the reservoir well if we calculate correlation dimension directly. In this paper, we present a method that integrates empirical mode decomposition （EMD） and correlation dimension. EMD is used to decompose the seismic waves and calculate the correlation dimension of every intrinsic mode function （IMF） component of the decomposed wave. Comparing the results with reservoirs identified by known wells, the most effective IMF is chosen and used to predict the reservoir. The method is applied in the Triassic Zhongyou group in the XX area of the Tahe oil field with quite good results.展开更多

In addition, a novel fractal soft, which was developed based on the fractal theory and the computer image processing technology, was explored to describe the pore structure of porous metal materials. Furthermore, the fractal dimension of pore structure was calculated by the soft and the effects of magnification and porosity on ffactal dimension were also discussed. The results show that the fractal dimension decreases with increase in the magnification, while it increases continuously with the porosity enhancing. The interrelationship between the fractal dimension and the magnification or porosity can be presented by the equation of D=α_0exp（-x/α_1）＋α_2和D=k_2-（k_1-k_2）/[1＋exp（（θ-k_0）/k_3）], respectively.展开更多

文摘Detecting the complexity of natural systems,such as hydrological systems,can help improve our understanding of complex interactions and feedback between variables in these systems.The correlation dimension method,as one of the most useful methods,has been applied in many studies to investigate the chaos and detect the intrinsic dimensions of underlying dynamic systems.However,this method often relies on manual inspection due to uncertainties from iden-tifying the scaling region,making the correlation dimension value calculation troublesome and subjective.Therefore,it is necessary to propose a fast and intelligent algorithm to solve the above problem.This study implies the distinct windows tracking technique and fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm to accu-rately identify the scaling range and estimate the correlation dimension values.The proposed method is verified using the classic Lorenz chaotic system and 10 streamflow series in the Daling River basin of Liaoning Province,China.The results reveal that the proposed method is an intelligent and robust method for rapidly and accurately calculating the correlation dimension values,and the average operation efficiency of the proposed algorithm is 30 times faster than that of the original Grassberger-Procaccia algorithm.

文摘Fracture surface contour study is one of the important requirements for characterization and evaluation of the microstructure of rocks.Based on the improved cube covering method and the 3D contour digital reconstruction model,this study proposes a quantitative microstructure characterization method combining the roughness evaluation index and the 3D fractal dimension to study the change rule of the fracture surface morphology after blasting.This method was applied and validated in the study of the fracture microstructure of the rock after blasting.The results show that the fracture morphology characteristics of the 3D contour digital reconstruction model have good correlation with the changes of the blasting action.The undulation rate of the three-dimensional surface profile of the rock is more prone to dramatic rise and dramatic fall morphology.In terms of tilting trend,the tilting direction also shows gradual disorder,with the tilting angle increasing correspondingly.All the roughness evaluation indexes of the rock fissure surface after blasting show a linear and gradually increasing trend as the distance to the bursting center increases;the difference between the two-dimensional roughness evaluation indexes and the three-dimensional ones of the same micro-area rock samples also becomes increasingly larger,among which the three-dimensional fissure roughness coefficient JRC and the surface roughness ratio Rs display better correlation.Compared with the linear fitting formula of the power function relationship,the three-dimensional fractal dimension of the postblast fissure surface is fitted with the values of JRC and Rs,which renders higher correlation coefficients,and the degree of linear fitting of JRC to the three-dimensional fractal dimension is higher.The fractal characteristics of the blast-affected region form a unity with the three-dimensional roughness evaluation of the fissure surface.

文摘Gas-liquid two-phase flow in fractal porous media is pivotal for engineering applications,yet it remains challenging to be accurately characterized due to complex microstructure-flow interactions.This study establishes a pore-scale numerical framework integratingMonte Carlo-generated fractal porousmedia with Volume of Fluid(VOF)simulations to unravel the coupling among pore distribution characterized by fractal dimension(Df),flow dynamics,and displacement efficiency.A pore-scale model based on the computed tomography(CT)microstructure of Berea sandstone is established,and the simulation results are compared with experimental data.Good agreement is found in phase distribution,breakthrough behavior,and flow path morphology,confirming the reliability of the numerical simulation method.Ten fractal porous media models with Df ranging from 1.25~1.7 were constructed using a Monte-Carlo approach.The gas-liquid two-phase flow dynamics was characterized using the VOF solver across gas injection rates of 0.05-5m/s,inwhich the time-resolved two-phase distribution patternswere systematically recorded.The results reveal that smaller fractal dimensions(Df=1.25~1.45)accelerate fingering breakthrough(peak velocity is 1.73 m/s at Df=1.45)due to a bimodal pore size distribution dominated by narrow channels.Increasing Df amplifies vorticity generation by about 3 times(eddy viscosity is 0.033 Pa⋅s at Df=1.7)through reduced interfacial curvature,while tortuosity-driven pressure differentials transition from sharp increases(0.4~6.3 Pa at Df=1.25~1.3)to inertial plateaus(4.8 Pa at Df=1.7).A nonlinear increase in equilibrium gas volume fraction(fav=0.692 at Df=1.7)emerges from residual gas saturation and turbulence-enhanced dispersion.This behavior is further modulated by flow velocity,with fav peaking at 0.72 under capillary-dominated conditions(0.05 m/s),but decreasing to 0.65 in the inertial regime(0.5 m/s).The work quantitatively links fractal topology to multiphase flow regimes,demonstrating the critical role of Df in governing preferential pathways,energy dissipation,and phase distribution.

文摘Against the backdrop of intensified global cultural collisions and ideological competition,deeply integrating excellent traditional Chinese culture(ETCC)into university ideological and political courses(IPCs)has become an imperative of our times.Guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping’s methodology of“Two Integrations,”this paper examines the pathways for this integration from three dimensions:value,theory,and practice.The value dimension emphasizes fostering moral conviction and strengthening the spiritual foundation to meet needs such as safeguarding cultural security,preserving the spiritual lineage,and constructing a spiritual framework.The theoretical dimension reveals the mutually constitutive breakthroughs between Marxism and traditional Chinese dialectical thinking,encompassing methodological complementarity,logical coherence of values,and discursive system innovation.The practical dimension involves constructing a comprehensive educational ecosystem by localizing teaching content,modernizing traditional resources,and fostering inter-platform collaborative education,thereby internalizing the value of traditional culture.These three dimensions synergize and co-constitute each other,collectively providing methodological support and practical paradigms for cultivating cultural confidence among youth and forging a new generation capable of shouldering the mission of national rejuvenation.

文摘Nonlinear transforms have significantly advanced learned image compression(LIC),particularly using residual blocks.This transform enhances the nonlinear expression ability and obtain compact feature representation by enlarging the receptive field,which indicates how the convolution process extracts features in a high dimensional feature space.However,its functionality is restricted to the spatial dimension and network depth,limiting further improvements in network performance due to insufficient information interaction and representation.Crucially,the potential of high dimensional feature space in the channel dimension and the exploration of network width/resolution remain largely untapped.In this paper,we consider nonlinear transforms from the perspective of feature space,defining high-dimensional feature spaces in different dimensions and investigating the specific effects.Firstly,we introduce the dimension increasing and decreasing transforms in both channel and spatial dimensions to obtain high dimensional feature space and achieve better feature extraction.Secondly,we design a channel-spatial fusion residual transform(CSR),which incorporates multi-dimensional transforms for a more effective representation.Furthermore,we simplify the proposed fusion transform to obtain a slim architecture(CSR-sm),balancing network complexity and compression performance.Finally,we build the overall network with stacked CSR transforms to achieve better compression and reconstruction.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve superior ratedistortion performance compared to the existing LIC methods and traditional codecs.Specifically,our proposed method achieves 9.38%BD-rate reduction over VVC on Kodak dataset.

文摘Two-dimensional energetic materials(2DEMs),characterized by their exceptional interlayer sliding properties,are recognized as exemplar of low-sensitivity energetic materials.However,the diversity of available 2DEMs is severely constrained by the absence of efficient methods for rapidly predicting crystal packing modes from molecular structures,impeding the high-throughput rational design of such materials.In this study,we employed quantified indicators,such as hydrogen bond dimension and maximum planar separation,to quickly screen 172DEM and 16 non-2DEM crystal structures from a crystal database.They were subsequently compared and analyzed,focusing on hydrogen bond donor-acceptor combinations,skeleton features,and intermolecular interactions.Our findings suggest that theπ-πpacking interaction energy is a key determinant in the formation of layered packing modes by planar energetic molecules,with its magnitude primarily influenced by the strongest dimericπ-πinteraction(π-π2max).Consequently,we have delineated a critical threshold forπ-π2max to discern layered packing modes and formulated a theoretical model for predictingπ-π2max,grounded in molecular electrostatic potential and dipole moment analysis.The predictive efficacy of this model was substantiated through external validation on a test set comprising 31 planar energetic molecular crystals,achieving an accuracy of 84%and a recall of 75%.Furthermore,the proposed model shows superior classification predictive performance compared to typical machine learning methods,such as random forest,on the external validation samples.This contribution introduces a novel methodology for the identification of crystal packing modes in 2DEMs,potentially accelerating the design and synthesis of high-energy,low-sensitivity 2DEMs.

文摘Fire detection has held stringent importance in computer vision for over half a century.The development of early fire detection strategies is pivotal to the realization of safe and smart cities,inhabitable in the future.However,the development of optimal fire and smoke detection models is hindered by limitations like publicly available datasets,lack of diversity,and class imbalance.In this work,we explore the possible ways forward to overcome these challenges posed by available datasets.We study the impact of a class-balanced dataset to improve the fire detection capability of state-of-the-art(SOTA)vision-based models and propose the use of generative models for data augmentation,as a future work direction.First,a comparative analysis of two prominent object detection architectures,You Only Look Once version 7(YOLOv7)and YOLOv8 has been carried out using a balanced dataset,where both models have been evaluated across various evaluation metrics including precision,recall,and mean Average Precision(mAP).The results are compared to other recent fire detection models,highlighting the superior performance and efficiency of the proposed YOLOv8 architecture as trained on our balanced dataset.Next,a fractal dimension analysis gives a deeper insight into the repetition of patterns in fire,and the effectiveness of the results has been demonstrated by a windowing-based inference approach.The proposed Slicing-Aided Hyper Inference(SAHI)improves the fire and smoke detection capability of YOLOv8 for real-life applications with a significantly improved mAP performance over a strict confidence threshold.YOLOv8 with SAHI inference gives a mAP:50-95 improvement of more than 25%compared to the base YOLOv8 model.The study also provides insights into future work direction by exploring the potential of generative models like deep convolutional generative adversarial network(DCGAN)and diffusion models like stable diffusion,for data augmentation.

文摘Titanium alloy tenon is creep feed ground with monolayer brazed cubic boron nitride （CBN） shaped wheels. The dimension accuracy of the tenon is assessed and the results indicate that it completely meets the requirement of blade tenon of aero-engine. Residual stresses, surface roughness, microstructure and microhardness are measured on ground surfaces of the specimen, which are all compared with that ground with vitrified CBN wheels. Under all the circumstances, compressive residual stress is obtained and the depth of the machining affected zone is found to be less than 40 μm. No phase transformation is observed at depths of up to 100 lain below the surface, though plastic deformation is visible in the process of grain refinement. The residual stress and microhardness of specimens ground with brazed CBN wheels are observed to be lower than those ground with vitrified ones. The arithmetic mean roughness （Ra） values obtained are all below 0.8μm.

文摘An artificial neural network （ANN） model was developed for simulating and predicting critical dimension dc of glass forming alloys. A group of Zr-Al-Ni-Cu and Cu-Zr-Ti-Ni bulk metallic glasses were designed based on the dc and their de values were predicted by the ANN model. Zr-Al-Ni-Cu and Cu-Zr-Ti-Ni bulk metallic glasses were prepared by injecting into copper mold. The amorphous structures and the determination of the dc of as-cast alloys were ascertained using X-ray diffraction. The results show that the predicted de values of glass forming alloys are in agreement with the corresponding experimental values. Thus the developed ANN model is reliable and adequate for designing the composition and predicting the de of glass forming alloy.

文摘In hydrocarbon reservoirs, seismic waveforms become complex and the correlation dimension becomes smaller. Seismic waves are signals with a definite frequency bandwidth and the waveform is affected by all the frequency components in the band. The results will not define the reservoir well if we calculate correlation dimension directly. In this paper, we present a method that integrates empirical mode decomposition （EMD） and correlation dimension. EMD is used to decompose the seismic waves and calculate the correlation dimension of every intrinsic mode function （IMF） component of the decomposed wave. Comparing the results with reservoirs identified by known wells, the most effective IMF is chosen and used to predict the reservoir. The method is applied in the Triassic Zhongyou group in the XX area of the Tahe oil field with quite good results.

文摘The FeCrA1 fiber was used to prepare porous metal materials with air-laid technology, and then followed by sintering at 1300 ℃ for a holding period of 2 h in the vacuum. In addition, a novel fractal soft, which was developed based on the fractal theory and the computer image processing technology, was explored to describe the pore structure of porous metal materials. Furthermore, the fractal dimension of pore structure was calculated by the soft and the effects of magnification and porosity on ffactal dimension were also discussed. The results show that the fractal dimension decreases with increase in the magnification, while it increases continuously with the porosity enhancing. The interrelationship between the fractal dimension and the magnification or porosity can be presented by the equation of D=α_0exp（-x/α_1）＋α_2和D=k_2-（k_1-k_2）/[1＋exp（（θ-k_0）/k_3）], respectively.
