Micro-structural development and strength characteristics of coal were analysed to set up the failure criterion of coal containing water and gas, which could describe the destruction rule of coal containing gas under the hydraulic measures more accurately. Based on the theory of transient flow and fluid grid, the numerical calculation model of turbulence formed by high pressure oscillating water jet was used. With the high speed photography test, dynamic evolution and pulsation characteristics of water jet water analysed which laid a foundation for mechanism analysis of rock damage under water jet. Wave equation of oscillating water jet slotting was established and the mechanism of coal damage by the impact stress wave under oscillation jet was revealed. These provide a new method to study the mechanism of porosity and crack damage under high pressure jet.Fracture criterion by jet slotting was established and mechanism of crack development controlled by crack zone between slots was found. The fractures were induced to extend along pre-set direction,instead of being controlled by original stress field. The model of gas migration through coal seams after the hydraulic measures for grid slotting and fracking was established. The key technology and equipment for grid slotting and fracking with high-pressure oscillating jet were developed and applied to coal mines in Chongqing and Henan in China. The results show that the gas permeability of coal seam is enhanced by three orders of magnitude, efficiency of roadway excavation and mining is improved by more than 57%and the cost of gas control is reduced by 50%.展开更多

Existing ...Slotting strategy heavily influences the throughput and operational cost of automated order picking system with multiple dispenser types, which is called the complex automated order picking system （CAOPS）. Existing research either focuses on one aspect of the slotting optimization problem or only considers one part of CAOPS, such as the Low-volume Dispensers, to develop corresponding slotting strategies. In order to provide a comprehensive and systemic approach, a fluid-based slotting strategy is proposed in this paper. The configuration of CAOPS is presented with specific reference to its fast-picking and restocking subsystems. Based on extended fluid model, a nonlinear mathematical programming model is developed to determine the optimal volume allotted to each stock keeping unit （SKU） in a certain mode by minimize the restocking cost of that mode. Conclusion from the allocation model is specified for the storage modules of high-volume dispensers and low-volume dispensers. Optimal allocation of storage resources in the fast-picking area of CAOPS is then discussed with the aim of identifying the optimal space of each picking mode. The SKU assignment problem referring to the total restocking cost of CAOPS is analyzed and a greedy heuristic with low time complexity is developed according to the characteristics of CAOPS. Real life application from the tobacco industry is presented in order to exemplify the proposed slotting strategy and assess the effectiveness of the developed methodology. Entry-item-quantity （EIQ） based experiential solutions and proposed-model-based near-optimal solutions are compared. The comparison results show that the proposed strategy generates a savings of over 18% referring to the total restocking cost over one-year period. The strategy proposed in this paper, which can handle the multiple dispenser types, provides a practical quantitative slotting method for CAOPS and can help picking-system-designers make slotting decisions efficiently and effectively.展开更多

However, it frequently occurs that a large amount of slotting products （mainly the coal slurry and gas） intensely spurt out of the borehole during the slotting, which adversely affects the slotting efficiency. Despite extensive previous investigations on the mechanism and prevention-device design of the spurt during ordinary borehole drilling, a very few studies has focused on the spurt in the s Ottlng pro ] ＂ _ cess. The slotting spurt is mainly caused by two reasons： the coal and gas outburst in the borehole and the borehole deslagging blockage. This paper focuses on the second reason, and investigates the hydraulic deslagging flow patterns in the annular space between the drill pipe and borehole wall Results show that there are six deslagging flow patterns when the drill pipe is still： pure slurry flow, pure gas flow, bubble flow, intermittent flow, layering flow and annular flow. When the drill pipe rotates, each of those six flow patterns changes due to the Taylor vortex effect. Outcomes of this study could help to better understand the slotting-spurt mechanism and provide guidance on the anti-spurt strategies through eliminating the borehole deslagging blockage.展开更多

The slotting model between the cosine tooth surface represented by discrete points and the cutter figuration determined by analytic function was built for their geometrical relationship and conjugate motion during the machining process.

These characteristics can result in uneven tool wear and chatter vibration. Therefore, determining the appropriate end-milling conditions is more difficult for difficult-to-cut materials than for other materials. There has been much research on the high-speed milling of difficult-to-cut materials, and effective end-milling conditions, end-mill tool shapes, and processing methods have been reported. In addition, irregular pitch and lead end-mills with different helix angles have been developed by tool maker＇s to reduce chatter vibration, making it easier to perform high-speed milling. However, there have been few reports of slotting information useful for determining appropriate end-milling conditions and processing methods for Ni-base super alloy. The aim of this study is to derive end-milling condition with high efficiency grooving process for Ni-base super alloy （Inconel 718） sheet. Effects of cutting parameters were examined from the view point of cutting resistance, ＂tool tip maximum temperature and tool flank wear width. As a result from experiments, if the grooving process condition of axial depth of cut is smaller than other conditions on the same material removable rate value, it has been found that it is possible to reduce the tool tip maximum temperature and prolong the tool life.展开更多

The assessment of electromagnetic SE for Slotted Composite Structures(SCSs) is particularly challenging due to their complex geometries and there remains a lack of suitable models for accurately predicting the SE performance of these intricate configurations. To address this issue, this paper introduces SCS-Net, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) method designed to accurately predict the SE of SCS. This method considers the impacts of various structural parameters, material properties and incident wave parameters on the SE of SCSs. In order to better model the SCS, an improved Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method is introduced in this paper to provide an equivalent flat structure for the SCS and to calculate the electromagnetic parameters of the equivalent structure. Additionally, the prediction of SE via DNNs is limited by insufficient test data, which hinders support for large-sample training. To address the issue of limited measured data, this paper develops a Measurement-Computation Fusion (MCF) dataset construction method. The predictions based on the simulation results show that the proposed method maintains an error of less than 0.07 dB within the 8–10 GHz frequency range. Furthermore, a new loss function based on the weighted L1-norm is established to improve the prediction accuracy for these parameters. Compared with traditional loss functions, the new loss function reduces the maximum prediction error for equivalent electromagnetic parameters by 47%. This method significantly improves the prediction accuracy of SCS-Net for measured data, with a maximum improvement of 23.88%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method enables precise SE prediction and design for composite structures while reducing the number of test samples needed.展开更多

文摘Hydraulic slotting can induce drill spray in a gassy,low permeability coal seam.This then influences subsequent gas extraction.This paper describes the drill spray phenomenon from a mechanical perspective and analyzes the effects of water jet damage during slotting.A simulation of the stresses around the drill hole and slot was prepared using FLAC-3D code.It helps explain the induction of drill spray during hydraulic slotting.The stress concentration around the bore increases as the diameter of the hole increases.As the hole enlarges the variation in stress also increases,which introduces an instability into the coal.This allows easy breaking and removal of the coal.Destruction of the coal structure by the water jet is the major factor causing drill spray.Energy stored as either strain or gas pressure is released by the water jet and this causes the coal to fracture and be expelled from the hole.Field tests showed the effect on gas extraction after slotting with drill spray.The concentration of gas increases after drilling.Compared to conventional techniques,the hydraulic slotted bore gives a gas concentration three times higher and has an effective range twice as far.This makes the gas extraction process more efficient and allows reduced construction effort.

文摘Plunge milling,which is recognized for its efficiency,has gradually been adopted for the roughing of integral impellers in recent years.However,several challenges persist,such as redundant tool paths,difficulties in managing the Sudden Increase of Radial Depth(SIRD),and excessive residual material in the adjusted tool path by plunge milling,which collectively constrain the efficiency of the plunge milling process.To address these challenges,this study proposes a five-axis plunge milling method with double-row slotting tailored for integral impellers.This method segments the machining area based on the width of the impeller runner and utilizes various tools with different diameters to enhance machining efficiency.The plunge milling path is optimized to facilitate efficient material removal while maintaining cutting stability,which addresses issues related to cutting overload and chip accumulation.In addition,an efficient method for SIRD identification and exclusion is proposed to minimize residual material.Simulation and practical machining results confirm that the proposed plunge milling method with double-row slotting significantly improves machining efficiency,which achieves enhancements of over 1.5 times compared with traditional methods.

文摘The concept of using blade slotting to suppress the large boundary layer separation of high aerodynamic loading low pressure turbine profile has been developed in Part 1.Calculated results highlight the inability performance accompanied with un-proper blade slotting at high Reynolds number,blade slotting optimization seems like compulsory.Meanwhile,to further dignify the rational for use of blade slotting,slotting position and its geometry needed to be optimized.Comparison of different slotting scheme calculation results promised that blade slotting parameter like outlet angle and outlet position are the most important parameters which must be investigated to satisfy the design purpose.

文摘Hydraulic fracturing(HF)technology can safely and efficiently increase the permeability of coal seam,which is conducive to CBM exploration and prevent coal and gas outburst.However,conventional HF fractures tend to expand in the direction of maximum principal stress,which may be inconsistent with the direction of fracturing required by the project.Therefore,the increased direction of coal seam permeability is different from that expected.To solve these problems,PFC2D software simulation is used to study directional hydraulic fracturing(DHF),that is the combination of slotting and hydraulic fracturing.The effects of different slotting angles(θ),different horizontal stress difference coefficients(K)and different injection pressures on DHF fracture propagation are analyzed.The results show that the DHF method can overcome the dominant effect of initial in-situ stress on the propagation direction of hydraulic fractures and control the propagation of fractures along and perpendicular to the slotting direction when θ,K and liquid injection pressure are small.When the DHF fracture is connected with manual slotting,the pressure will shake violently,and the fracturing curve presents a multi-peak type.The increase and decrease of particle pressure around the fracturing hole reflect the process of pressure accumulation and fracture propagation at the fracture tip respectively.Compared with conventional HF,DHF can not only shorten the fracturing time but also make the fracture network more complex,which is more conducive to gas flow.Under the action of in-situ stress,the stress between slots will increase to exceed the maximum horizontal principal stress.Moreover,with the change in fracturing time,the local stress of the model will also change.Hydraulic fractures are always expanding to the area with large local stress.The research results could provide certain help for DHF theoretical research and engineering application.
文摘In this paper,we propose a random access scheme termed sign-compute diversity slotted ALOHA(SCDSA).The SCDSA scheme combines diversity transmission with compute-and-forward.Without considering the capture effect and multiple user detection techniques,our scheme can reach a high throughput of 0.98 without feedback under finite frame size settings,where the upper bound on performance is 1.Moreover,a lower bound on throughput performance is derived,which is tight in some parameter settings and can be used to approximate theoretical performance.Simulation results validate our analysis and confirm the advantages of our proposed scheme.
文摘Container transportation is pivotal in global trade due to its efficiency,safety,and cost-effectiveness.However,structural defects—particularly in grapple slots—can result in cargo damage,financial loss,and elevated safety risks,including container drops during lifting operations.Timely and accurate inspection before and after transit is therefore essential.Traditional inspection methods rely heavily on manual observation of internal and external surfaces,which are time-consuming,resource-intensive,and prone to subjective errors.Container roofs pose additional challenges due to limited visibility,while grapple slots are especially vulnerable to wear from frequent use.This study proposes a two-stage automated detection framework targeting defects in container roof grapple slots.In the first stage,YOLOv7 is employed to localize grapple slot regions with high precision.In the second stage,ResNet50 classifies the extracted slots as either intact or defective.The results from both stages are integrated into a human-machine interface for real-time visualization and user verification.Experimental evaluations demonstrate that YOLOv7 achieves a 99%detection rate at 100 frames per second(FPS),while ResNet50 attains 87%classification accuracy at 34 FPS.Compared to some state of the arts,the proposed system offers significant speed,reliability,and usability improvements,enabling efficient defect identification and visual reconfirmation via the interface.

文摘As the proportion of composite materials used in aircraft continues to increase, the electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of these materials becomes a critical factor in the electromagnetic safety design of aircraft structures. The assessment of electromagnetic SE for Slotted Composite Structures(SCSs) is particularly challenging due to their complex geometries and there remains a lack of suitable models for accurately predicting the SE performance of these intricate configurations. To address this issue, this paper introduces SCS-Net, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) method designed to accurately predict the SE of SCS. This method considers the impacts of various structural parameters, material properties and incident wave parameters on the SE of SCSs. In order to better model the SCS, an improved Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method is introduced in this paper to provide an equivalent flat structure for the SCS and to calculate the electromagnetic parameters of the equivalent structure. Additionally, the prediction of SE via DNNs is limited by insufficient test data, which hinders support for large-sample training. To address the issue of limited measured data, this paper develops a Measurement-Computation Fusion (MCF) dataset construction method. The predictions based on the simulation results show that the proposed method maintains an error of less than 0.07 dB within the 8–10 GHz frequency range. Furthermore, a new loss function based on the weighted L1-norm is established to improve the prediction accuracy for these parameters. Compared with traditional loss functions, the new loss function reduces the maximum prediction error for equivalent electromagnetic parameters by 47%. This method significantly improves the prediction accuracy of SCS-Net for measured data, with a maximum improvement of 23.88%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method enables precise SE prediction and design for composite structures while reducing the number of test samples needed.

文摘Intent detection and slot filling are two important components of natural language understanding.Because their relevance,joint training is often performed to improve performance.Existing studies mostly use a joint model of multi-intent detection and slot-filling with unidirectional interaction,which improves the overall performance of the model by fusing the intent information in the slot-filling part.On this basis,in order to further improve the overall performance of the model by exploiting the correlation between the two,this paper proposes a joint multi-intent detection and slot-filling model based on a bidirectional interaction structure,which fuses the intent encoding information in the encoding part of slot filling and fuses the slot decoding information in the decoding part of intent detection.Experimental results on two public multi-intent joint training datasets,MixATIS and MixSNIPS,show that the bidirectional interaction structure proposed in this paper can effectively improve the performance of the joint model.In addition,in order to verify the generalization of the bidirectional interaction structure between intent and slot,a joint model for single-intent scenarios is proposed on the basis of the model in this paper.This model also achieves excellent performance on two public single-intent joint training datasets,CAIS and SNIPS.

文摘Mitigating tag collisions is paramount for enhancing throughput in Radio Frequency Identification(RFID)systems.However,traditional algorithms encounter challenges like slot wastage and inefficient frame length adjustments.To tackle these challenges,the Slot Prediction Q(SPQ)algorithm was introduced,integrating the VogtII prediction algorithm and slot grouping to improve the initial Q value by predicting the first frame.This method quickly estimates the number of tags based on slot utilization,accelerating Q value adjustments when slot utilization is low.Furthermore,a Markov decision chain is used to optimize the relationship between the number of slot groupings(x)and the Q value.The Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA)is applied to fine-tune the learning rate(C)and Q value in the traditional Q algorithm.Simulation results demonstrate that SPQ significantly reduces the total slots used during the reading process and improves RFID system throughput compared to traditional Q,FastQ,Subset Enhanced Performance-Q(SUBEP-Q),and Threshold Grouping Dynamic Q(TGDQ)algorithms.Specifically,compared to the traditional Q algorithm,SPQ increases the average Identification Speed by 7.20%,System Efficiency by 11.08%,and Time Efficiency by 5.69%.
