The detonation process is simulated by ANSYS / LS-DYNA,and the deployment velocity and initial flight attitude of rod are achieved. In addition,static rod deployment testing are performed to investigate the damage effect,the spatial flight attitude and deployment velocity. A satisfactory agreement is obtained by the comparison between numerical results and testing results. Meanwhile,the profiled rod studies are conducted to determine a higher penetrability compared with traditional cylindrical rods. Rigid body dynamics equations of profiled rod,which accounts for the influence of air resistance,are set up to predict the flight trajectory of long-distance. The results show that the profiled rod may provide a better penetration angle which still maintains a significant penetrability against projectiles when the rods move off long-distance range.展开更多

Plenty of literatures can be available about simply supported composite slabs with single span. However, continuous slabs always exist in high-rise building structures. In order to obtain the ultimate loading capacity of continuous composite slabs, the full scale test on slab specimens with high cost need to be carried out. This paper presented an analytical model for calculating the ultimate loading capacity of continuous composite slabs. Only the small-scale slide block test needed to be carried out for determining some mechanical parameters, resulting in less cost, compared with the conventional m-k test method. Various load conditions and parameters were considered in the analytical model. The comparison between test results and predicted results showed that the proposed method had enough precision. Furthermore, the simplified method was also proposed for practical design.展开更多

文摘Longitude profiled cladded sheet is obtained by rolling bimetal cladded sheet with variable gauge rolling technology.The longitude profiled rolling process of Cu/Al cladded sheets was studied by finite element method and experiments.The rolling force rises with the increase in reduction,and a sudden change appears at the end of the thickness variation zone.The thickness ratio of copper layer is enlarged after rolling owing to its relatively large deformation resistance and continues to rise with the increase in reduction rate.Lower elongation of copper side leads to the warpage of exit metal to copper side,which further hinders the deformation of copper.The influence of asymmetric rolling parameters indicates that increasing the work roll diameter ratio,speed radio,and friction coefficient on Al side can reduce the warpage when the reduction rate is below a certain value depending on the thickness ratio and other rolling parameters.Comparison of experiments and simulation results showed good agreement and verified the finite element model.

文摘A new Kinetic Energy Rod( KER) warhead named profiled rod warhead is proposed in this paper.Based on the design of profiled rod warhead,a model of profiled rod driven by detonation is established. The detonation process is simulated by ANSYS / LS-DYNA,and the deployment velocity and initial flight attitude of rod are achieved. In addition,static rod deployment testing are performed to investigate the damage effect,the spatial flight attitude and deployment velocity. A satisfactory agreement is obtained by the comparison between numerical results and testing results. Meanwhile,the profiled rod studies are conducted to determine a higher penetrability compared with traditional cylindrical rods. Rigid body dynamics equations of profiled rod,which accounts for the influence of air resistance,are set up to predict the flight trajectory of long-distance. The results show that the profiled rod may provide a better penetration angle which still maintains a significant penetrability against projectiles when the rods move off long-distance range.
文摘In order to achieve a lower consumed energy, the performance of a new type of rotating volumetric pump with two profiled rotors (variant I) which is compared with a centrifugal pump (variant II) is presented. The analysis regarding the same flow rate of transported liquid and the same pressure increases points out the conduct of the system at the variation of the key operating parameters. The actual driving power of the rotating volumetric pump is higher stating that is more advantageous in operation. The effective efficiency of the system is improved due to the original constructive solution.
文摘Composite slabs with profiled steel sheet are widely applied in practical structures now. Plenty of literatures can be available about simply supported composite slabs with single span. However, continuous slabs always exist in high-rise building structures. In order to obtain the ultimate loading capacity of continuous composite slabs, the full scale test on slab specimens with high cost need to be carried out. This paper presented an analytical model for calculating the ultimate loading capacity of continuous composite slabs. Only the small-scale slide block test needed to be carried out for determining some mechanical parameters, resulting in less cost, compared with the conventional m-k test method. Various load conditions and parameters were considered in the analytical model. The comparison between test results and predicted results showed that the proposed method had enough precision. Furthermore, the simplified method was also proposed for practical design.

文摘BACKGROUND Paternal perinatal depression(PPD)is closely associated with maternal mental health challenges,marital strain,and adverse child developmental outcomes.Despite its significant impact,PPD remains under-recognized in family-centered clinical practice.Concurrently,against the backdrop of rising rates of delayed marriage and China’s Maternity Incentive Policy,the proportion of women giving birth at an advanced maternal age is increasing.Nevertheless,research specifically examining PPD among spouses of older mothers remains critically scarce,both in China and globally.AIM To investigate PPD and its influencing factors in Chinese advanced maternal age families.METHODS This cross-sectional study included 358 participants;it was conducted among fathers of pregnant women of advanced maternal age at five hospitals in the Pearl River Delta region of China from September 2023 to June 2024.Data were collected via a general information questionnaire,the Social Support Rating Scale,and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale.Latent profile analysis and regression mixture models(RMMs)were adopted to analyze the latent PPD types and factors that influenced PPD.RESULTS The incidence of PPD was 16.48%,and three profiles were identified:Low-symptomatic(175 cases,48.89%),monophasic(140 cases,39.10%),and high-symptomatic(43 cases,12.01%).The RMM analysis revealed that first pregnancy,low income(<¥3000/month),part-time work,and a history of abnormal pregnancy were positively associated with the high-symptomatic type(P<0.05).Conversely,high subjective support and support utilization were negatively associated with the high-symptomatic type compared with the low-symptomatic type(P<0.05).Good couple relationships,high objective and subjective support,and high support utilization were negatively associated with monophasic disorder(P<0.05).CONCLUSION PPD incidence is high among Chinese fathers with advanced maternal age partners,and the characteristics of depression are varied.Healthcare practitioners should prioritize individuals with low levels of social support.

文摘Synthetic phenolic antioxidants(SPAs)are widely used in diverse industries due to their exceptional antioxidant characteristics.However,human exposure to SPAs may cause health problems.In this study,226 dust samples were collected from 10 provinces in China,and six SPAs(three parent SPAs and their three transformation products)were analyzed.The concentrations of6SPAs(the sum of six target compounds)ranged from 15.4 to 3210 ng/g(geometric mean(GM):169 ng/g).The highest concentration of6SPAswas found in Sichuan Province(GM:349 ng/g),which was approximately 4 times higher than that in Hubei Province(81.6 ng/g)(p<0.05).The concentrations of butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT),2,2'-methylene bis(4-methyl-6–tert-butylphenol)(AO2246),2,6-di–tert–butyl–1,4-benzoquinone(BHT-Q),2,6-di–tert–butyl–4-(hydroxymethyl)phenol(BHT-OH),and ∑_(p)-SPAs were substantially higher in dust from urban areas than rural areas(p<0.05).AO2246 concentration in dust from homes(GM:0.400 ng/g)was about 4 times higher than that in workplaces(0.116 ng/g)(p<0.01).Significantly higherp-SPAs concentrations were found in dust from homes(GM:17.5 ng/g)than workplaces(11.4 ng/g)(p<0.01).The estimated daily intakes(EDIs)of ∑_(6)SPAs exposed through dust ingestion were 0.582,0.342,0.197,0.076,and 0.080 ng/kg bw/day in different age groups,and exposed through dermal contact was 0.358,0.252,0.174,0.167,and 0.177 ng/kg bw/day.EDIs showed that the exposure risks of SPAs decreased with age.This is the first work to determine SPAs in dust from10 provinces in China and investigate the spatial distribution of SPAs in those regions.

文摘Objective:Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)is a highly aggressive subtype that lacks targeted therapies,leading to a poorer prognosis.However,some patients achieve long-term recurrence-free survival(RFS),offering valuable insights into tumor biology and potential treatment strategies.Methods:We conducted a comprehensive multi-omics analysis of 132 patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC)stage III TNBC,comprising 36 long-term survivors(RFS≥8 years),62 moderate-term survivors(RFS:3-8 years),and 34 short-term survivors(RFS<3 years).Analyses investigated clinicopathological factors,whole-exome sequencing,germline mutations,copy number alterations(CNAs),RNA sequences,and metabolomic profiles.Results:Long-term survivors exhibited fewer metastatic regional lymph nodes,along with tumors showing reduced stromal fibrosis and lower Ki67 index.Molecularly,these tumors exhibited multiple alterations in genes related to homologous recombination repair,with higher frequencies of germline mutations and somatic CNAs.Additionally,tumors from long-term survivors demonstrated significant downregulation of the RTK-RAS signaling pathway.Metabolomic profiling revealed decreased levels of lipids and carbohydrate,particularly those involved in glycerophospholipid,fructose,and mannose metabolism,in long-term survival group.Multivariate Cox analysis identified fibrosis[hazard ratio(HR):12.70,95%confidence interval(95%CI):2.19-73.54,P=0.005]and RAC1copy number loss/deletion(HR:0.22,95%CI:0.06-0.83,P=0.026)as independent predictors of RFS.Higher fructose/mannose metabolism was associated with worse overall survival(HR:1.30,95%CI:1.01-1.68,P=0.045).Our findings emphasize the association between biological determinants and prolonged survival in patients with TNBC.Conclusions:Our study systematically identified the key molecular and metabolic features associated with prolonged survival in AJCC stage III TNBC,suggesting potential therapeutic targets to improve patient outcomes.

文摘Laser twin-arc GTAW(LTA-GTAW)process has been developed by using the synergic interaction effects of laser and a coupled arc in a weld pool to achieve higher energy efficiency.In this study,bead-on-plate welding was conducted on 8-mm-thick Q235B work-pieces to investigate the variation of hybrid arc profile,the influence of hybrid arc profile on weld forming,microstructure and mech-anical properties of the joint during the LTA-GTAW process.The influence of Laser-GTAW and LTA-GTAW methods on weld surface appearance,heat input per unit length,and weld metal microstructure were also demonstrated systematically.The LTA-GTAW can make the distribution of arc energy more reasonable in welding depth and width.When defocus is 0,I_(f)is 330 A,I_(b)is 240 A,laser power is 2.4 kW,and spacing between heat sources of tungsten electrode is 10 mm,the weld shape is better.Compared with Laser-GTAW,LTA-GTAW can achieve lower heat input at the same penetration depth,and the microstructure of the weld is refined.The tensile strength of the welded joint is 121.8%of the base material,and the fracture mode of the welded joint is ductile fracture,the comprehensive mechanical properties are better.

文摘In this paper,a double-effect DNN-based Digital Back-Propagation(DBP)scheme is proposed and studied to achieve the Integrated Communication and Sensing(ICS)ability,which can not only realize nonlinear damage mitigation but also monitor the optical power and dispersion profile over multi-span links.The link status information can be extracted by the characteristics of the learned optical fiber parameters without any other measuring instruments.The efficiency and feasibility of this method have been investigated in different fiber link conditions,including various launch power,transmission distance,and the location and the amount of the abnormal losses.A good monitoring performance can be obtained while the launch optical power is 2 dBm which does not affect the normal operation of the optical communication system and the step size of DBP is 20 km which can provide a better distance resolution.This scheme successfully detects the location of single or multiple optical attenuators in long-distance multi-span fiber links,including different abnormal losses of 2 dB,4 dB,and 6 dB in 360 km and serval combinations of abnormal losses of(1 dB,5 dB),(3 dB,3 dB),(5 dB,1 dB)in 360 km and 760 km.Meanwhile,the transfer relationship of the estimated coefficient values with different step sizes is further investigated to reduce the complexity of the fiber nonlinear damage compensation.These results provide an attractive approach for precisely sensing the optical fiber link status information and making correct strategies timely to ensure optical communication system operations.

文摘CO_(2)-responsive gels,which swell upon contact with CO_(2),are widely used for profile control to plug high-permeability gas flow channels in carbon capture,utilization,and storage(CCUS)applications in oil reser-voirs.However,the use of these gels in high-temperature CCUS applications is limited due to their rever-sible swelling behavior at elevated temperatures.In this study,a novel dispersed particle gel(DPG)suspension is developed for high-temperature profile control in CCUS applications.First,we synthesize a double-network hydrogel consisting of a crosslinked polyacrylamide(PAAm)network and a crosslinked sodium alginate(SA)network.The hydrogel is then sheared in water to form a pre-prepared DPG suspen-sion.To enhance its performance,the gel particles are modified by introducing potassium methylsilan-etriolate(PMS)upon CO_(2) exposure.Comparing the particle size distributions of the modified and pre-prepared DPG suspension reveals a significant swelling of gel particles,over twice their original size.Moreover,subjecting the new DPG suspension to a 100℃ environment for 24 h demonstrates that its gel particle sizes do not decrease,confirming irreversible swelling,which is a significant advantage over the traditional CO_(2)-responsive gels.Thermogravimetric analysis further indicates improved thermal sta-bility compared to the pre-prepared DPG particles.Core flooding experiments show that the new DPG suspension achieves a high plugging efficiency of 95.3%in plugging an ultra-high permeability sandpack,whereas the pre-prepared DPG suspension achieves only 82.8%.With its high swelling ratio,irreversible swelling at high temperatures,enhanced thermal stability,and superior plugging performance,the newly developed DPG suspension in this work presents a highly promising solution for profile control in high-temperature CCUS applications.

文摘A segmented predictor-corrector method is proposed for hypersonic glide vehicles to address the issue of the slow computational speed of obtaining guidance commands using the traditional predictor-corrector guidance method.Firstly,an altitude-energy profile is designed,and the bank angle is derived analytically as the initial iteration value for the predictor-corrector method.The predictor-corrector guidance method has been improved by deriving an analytical form for predicting the range-to-go error,which greatly accelerates the iterative speed.Then,a segmented guidance algorithm is proposed.The above analytically predictor-corrector guidance method is adopted when the energy exceeds an energy threshold.When the energy is less than the threshold,the equidistant test method is used to calculate the bank angle command,which ensures guidance accuracy as well as computational efficiency.Additionally,an adaptive guidance cycle strategy is applied to reduce the computational time of the reentry guidance trajectory.Finally,the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method are verified through a series of simulations and Monte-Carlo experiments.Compared with the traditional integral method,the proposed method requires 75%less computation time on average and achieves a lower landing error.
