文摘Background:The isometric steady-state following active lengthening is associated with greater torque production and lower activation,as measured by electromyographic activity(EMG),in comparison with a purely isometric contraction(ISO)at the same joint angle.This phenomenon is termed residual force enhancement(RFE).While there has been a great deal of research investigating the basic mechanisms of RFE,little work has been performed to understand the everyday relevance of RFE.The purpose of this study was to investigate whether neuromuscular control strategies differ between ISO and RFE by measuring torque steadiness of the human ankle plantar flexors.Methods:Following ISO maximal voluntary contractions in 12 males(25±4 years),an active lengthening contraction was performed at 15°/s over a 30°ankle excursion,ending at the same joint angle as ISO(5°dorsiflexion;RFE).Surface EMG of the tibialis anterior and soleus muscles was recorded during all tasks.Torque steadiness was determined as the standard deviation(SD)and coefficient of variation(CV)of the torque trace in the ISO and RFE condition during activation-matching(20%and 60%integrated EMG)and torque-matching(20%and 60%maximal voluntary contraction)experiments.Two-tailed,paired t tests were used,within subjects,to determine the presence of RFE/activation reduction(AR)and whether there was a difference in torque steadiness between ISO and RFE conditions.Results:During the maximal and submaximal conditions,there was 5%-9%RFE with a 9%-11%AR(p<0.05),respectively,with no difference in antagonist coactivation between RFE and ISO(p>0.05).There were no differences in SD and CV of the torque trace for the 20%and60%activation-matching or the 60%and maximal torque-matching trials in either the RFE or ISO condition(p>0.05).During the 20%torquematching trial,there were～37%higher values for SD and CV in the RFE as compared with the ISO condition(p<0.05).A significant moderate-to-strong negative relationship was identified between the reduction in torque steadiness following active lengthening and the accompanying AR(p<0.05).Conclusion:It appears that while the RFE-associated AR provides some improved neuromuscular economy,this comes at the cost of increased torque fluctuations in the isometric steady-state following active lengthening during submaximal contractions.

文摘Small modular reactors have received widespread attention owing to their inherent safety,low investment,and flexibility.Small pressurized water reactors(SPWRs)have become important candidates for SMRs owing to their high technological maturity.Since the Fukushima accident,research on accident-tolerant fuels(ATFs),which are more resistant to serious accidents than conventional fuels,has gradually increased.This study analyzes the neutronics and thermal hydraulics of an SPWR(ACPR50S)for different ATFs,BeO+UO_(2)−SiC,BeO+UO_(2)−FeCrAl,U_(3)Si_(2)−SiC,and U_(3)Si_(2)−FeCrAl,based on a PWR fuel management code,the Bamboo-C deterministic code.In the steady state,the burnup calculations,reactivity coefficients,power and temperature distributions,and control rod reactivity worth were studied.The transients of the control rod ejection accident for the two control rods with the maximum and minimum reactivity worth were analyzed.The results showed that 5%B-10 enrichment in the wet annular burnable absorbers assembly can effectively reduce the initial reactivity and end-of-life reactivity penalty.The BeO+UO2−SiC core exhibited superior neutronic characteristics in terms of burnup and negative temperature reactivity compared with the other three cases owing to the strong moderation ability of BeO+UO_(2)and low neutron absorption of SiC.However,the U_(3)Si_(2)core had a marginally better power-flattening effect than BeO+UO_(2),and the differential worth of each control rod group was similar between different ATFs.During the transient of a control rod ejection,the changes in the fuel temperature,coolant temperature,and coolant density were similar.The maximum difference was less than 10℃ for the fuel temperature and 2℃ for the coolant temperature.

文摘Stall flutter poses great challenges to flight safety.To alleviate this problem,a steady blowing control considering the perturbation and wake-induced vibration at a large angle of attack is developed in this paper,where two blowings are configured on upper and lower tail surfaces to suppress the stall flutter.The stall flutter with one-degree-of-freedom is first evaluated by numerical simulation.The equation of motion for stall flutter is solved by the Newmark-β method.Then,the stall flutter responses for five blowing speeds,i.e.,0,4,12,20,and 28 m/s under the airspeed range of 3–9 m/s,are studied in detail.The stall flutter suppression mechanism can be summarized as follows:a large blowing speed can inject energy into the boundary layer and enhance the high-pressure zone,which delays the flow separation on the suction surface.In this way,the formation of the leading-edge separation vortex is suppressed.Thus,the dynamic stall vortex is weakened and accelerates shedding.In addition,the driving moment is reduced,which leads to a decrement in the stall flutter amplitude.When the blowing speed is 28 m/s(stall flutter amplitude=0.1357 rad),compared with uncontrolled case(stall flutter amplitude=0.6002 rad),the amplitude can decrease by 77.39%,which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed steady blowing based active control strategy.

文摘Narrow backfill earth pressure estimation is applied to study the stability of supporting structures in the vicinity of existing buildings.Previous narrow backfill earth pressure studies have neglected seismic-unsaturated seepage multi-field coupling,resulting in inaccurate estimates.To address these deficiencies,this paper proposed a calculation method for seismic passive earth pressure in unsaturated narrow backfill,based on inclined thin-layer units.It considers the interlayer shear stress,arching effect,and the multi-field coupling of seismic-unsaturated seepage.Additionally,this paper includes a parametric sensitivity analysis.The outcomes indicate that the earthquake passive ground pressure of unsaturated narrow backfill can be reduced by increasing the aspect ratio,seismic acceleration coefficient,and unsaturation parameterα.It can also be reduced by decreasing the effective interior friction angle,soil cohesion,wallearth friction angle,and vertical discharge.Furthermore,for any width soil,lowering the elevation of the action point of passive thrust can be attained by raising the effective interior friction angle,wall-earth friction angle,and unsaturation parameterα.Reducing soil cohesion,seismic acceleration coefficient,and vertical discharge can also lower the height of the application point of passive thrust.

文摘The turning performance of a ship is an important aspect of its maneuverability,and accurately predicting the hydrodynamic forces during ship turning motion is of great significance for the safe maneuvering design of ships.This paper investigated the hydrodynamic performance of a KRISO container ship in steady turning using experimental and numerical approaches.The rotating arm tests were carried out in rotating arm basin of Zhejiang University,while the numerical simulations were conducted in commercial computational fluid dynamics software.Hydrodynamic forces and moments,hull surface wave height,wave patterns,and vorticity are studied under different velocities,radii,and drift angles.The results show that the increase in velocity has a significant impact on the forces and moments of the hull.The changes in longitudinal and transverse forces reflect the complex fluid dynamic interactions between the hull and water.Under conditions of small radius and large drift angle,the hull experiences greater forces and moments,indicating that stability and maneuverability will be more challenged during sudden turns.This study can provide experimental data and numerical simulation references for the research of ship turning maneuvers.

文摘In agricultural irrigation engineering,deep leakage is a key factor that significantly reduces the utilization efficiency of irrigation water.Underground installation of porous membranes,as a novel active regulation technology,can effectively reduce deep leakage losses of water in the soil through its physical barrier effect.However,the current understanding of the infiltration patterns of underground porous membranes remains inadequate,limiting the promotion and application of this technology.Therefore,this study integrates a methodology that combines numerical simulations with experimental validations.Using a non-membrane treatment as a control(CK),this study investigated the soil water infiltration of underground porous membranes under various combinations of saturated hydraulic conductivity(K_(s)),porous membrane diameter(D),burial depth(H),and spacing(S).The results indicated that under the four types of aeolian sandy soil conditions,underground installation of porous membranes had a significant impact on soil infiltration characteristics,exhibiting an infiltration-reducing effect.Upon entering the steady infiltration stage,the minimum reduction in the infiltration rate for the various porous membrane treatments was 2.86 times that of the CK treatment.At a specific irrigation time(t),the steady infiltration rate(i_(f))and cumulative infiltration(I)of soil increased with increasing K_(s),D,H,and S.There was a strong power function relationship between i_(f)and the four factors(R^(2)=0.997),with a coefficient of 0.209,and exponents of 1.14,1.04,0.48,and 0.30,respectively.Furthermore,based on the Kostiakov infiltration model and comprehensively considering K_(s),D,H,S,and t,an estimation model for cumulative infiltration of underground porous membranes was developed.The reliability of the estimation model was assessed using experimental data,with the root mean square error approaching 0 and the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient close to 1,indicating the good predictive performance of the model.The findings of this study can provide a scientific basis for the operation and management of underground porous membrane irrigation projects.
