Using the new 3D shell-like kinematics in analogy to the solid-shell concept of the finite element method, discretization is carried out by the nodes located on the upper and lower surfaces of the structures. The approximation of all unknown field variables is carried out by using the moving least squares （MLS） approximation scheme in the in-plane directions, while the linear interpolation is applied through the thickness direction. Thus, different boundary conditions are defined only using displacements and penalty method is used to enforce the essential boundary conditions. The constrained Galerkin weak form, which incorporates only dis- placement degrees of freedom （d.o.f.s）, is derived. A modified 3D constitutive relationship is adopted in order to avoid or eliminate some self-locking effects. The numeric efficiency of the proposed meshless formulation is illustrated by the numeric examples.展开更多

Therefore,a variety of dynamic balancing methods and devices are studied to reduce the vibration caused by mass unbalance. On-line active balancing is a new balancing procedure which is more convenient and precise than the previous methods. In this paper,an electromagnetic balancer based on ring coils and permanent magnets is presented. The balancer has a simple structure and the self-locking function without clutch,and transfers power by the non-contact electromagnetic field. In order to justify the rationality of its design,a two-dimension(2D) electromagnetic finite element model is conducted to verify that this magnetic circuit has no flux leakage and saturation. A three-dimension (3D) 1/10 model of the balancer is built to obtain the self-locking torque and driving torque. Based on the research work above,an electromagnetic balancer is developed. By testing the balancer using COCO80,it is verified effective to reduce the rotor unbalance at the speed of 1300 r/min.展开更多

In recent years, the exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources such as shale gas and shale oil have developed rapidly in China, and shale gas in Sichuan-Chongqing block has gradually developed in the direction of deep layer, normal pressure and encryption adjustment in old areas. Affected by casing deformation, high temperature in the well, high pressure in the well, tool performance, operating parameters and other factors, the coiled tubing is prone to sticking due to the unreturned debris, and the complicated horizontal section of the well trajectory leads to the tubing self-locking not reaching the target position, and the friction resistance between tubing and casing leads to serious tool wear or fracture, which has a serious impact on the subsequent exploitation of shale gas wells. In this paper, various risks in drilling and grinding bridge plug technology during fracturing are analyzed, and according to the actual situation on the spot, some methods are put forward, such as shoe grinding selection scheme, tool selection optimization and auxiliary material use, drilling and grinding technical parameters optimization, etc., in order to avoid complicated situations and achieve the purpose of improving quality and increasing efficiency.展开更多

The recent progress in chip-based microcombs has promoted the on-chip dual-comb measuring systems to a new phase attributed to the large frequency spacing and broad spectrum. In this paper, we demonstrate proof-of-concept dual-comb generation with orthogonal polarization in a single microresonator through pumping both the transverse-electric （TE） and transverse-magnetic （TM） modes simultaneously. The two orthogonal polarized pumps are serf-oscillating in a fiber ring cavity. The generated dual comb exhibits excellent stability due to the intrinsic feedback mechanism of the sdf-locked scheme. The repetition rate of the two orthogonal combs is slightly different because of the mode spacing difference between the TE and TM modes. Such orthogonal polarized dual-combs could be a new comb source for out-of-lab applications in the fields of integrated spectroscopy, ranging measurement, optical frequency synthesis, and microwave comb generation.展开更多

To pursue high speed, this design employs the idea of the 2-b/stage. Based on this, the proposed structure with a new switching procedure is presented. Compared with traditional structures, it optimizes problems cause by mismatches of DACs and saves power. In addition, this paper takes advantage of dis- tributed comparator topology to improve the speed, while the proposed structure and self-locking technique lighten the kickback and offset caused by multiple comparators. The measurement results demonstrate that the signal-to- noise plus distortion ratio （SNDR） is 32.13 dB and the spurious-free dynamic range （SFDR） is 44.05 dB at 600 MS/s with 5.6 MHz input. By contrast, the SNDR/SFDR respectively drops to 28.46/39.20 dB with Nyquist input. Fabricated in a TSMC 65 nm process, the SAR ADC core occupies an area of 0.045 mm2 and consumes power of 5.01 mW on a supply voltage of 1.2 V resulting in a figure of merit of 252 fJ/conversion-step.展开更多

文摘Dual combs are an emerging tool to obtain unprecedented resolution, high sensitivity, ultrahigh accuracy, broad bandwidth, and ultrafast data updating rate in the fields of molecular spectroscopy, optical metrology, as well as optical frequency synthesis. The recent progress in chip-based microcombs has promoted the on-chip dual-comb measuring systems to a new phase attributed to the large frequency spacing and broad spectrum. In this paper, we demonstrate proof-of-concept dual-comb generation with orthogonal polarization in a single microresonator through pumping both the transverse-electric （TE） and transverse-magnetic （TM） modes simultaneously. The two orthogonal polarized pumps are serf-oscillating in a fiber ring cavity. The generated dual comb exhibits excellent stability due to the intrinsic feedback mechanism of the sdf-locked scheme. The repetition rate of the two orthogonal combs is slightly different because of the mode spacing difference between the TE and TM modes. Such orthogonal polarized dual-combs could be a new comb source for out-of-lab applications in the fields of integrated spectroscopy, ranging measurement, optical frequency synthesis, and microwave comb generation.

文摘Self-locked energy-absorbing systems have been proposed in previous studies to overcome the limitations associated with the round-tube systems because they can prevent the lateral splash of tubes from impact loadings without any constraints.In case of self-locked systems,the ellipse-shaped self-locked tube is considered to be an optimal design when compared with the ordinary circle-shaped self-locked tubes and other shaped self-locked tubes.In this study,we aim to theoretically analyze the ellipseshaped self-locked tubes.Further,a plastic hinge model is developed to predict the force-displacement relation of the tube,which is compared with the deformation process observed in the experiment and finite element method(FEM)simulation.Using this model,the effects of tuning the geometric parameters of the tube on the energy absorption performance,including the deformation efficiency,energy absorption capacity,and effective stroke ratio,are simulated and analyzed.Finally,a guideline is provided with respect to the design of the ellipse-shaped self-locked tube in engineering applications.

文摘This paper presents a 6-b successive approximation register （SAR） ADC at the sampling rate of 600 MHz in a 65 nm CMOS process. To pursue high speed, this design employs the idea of the 2-b/stage. Based on this, the proposed structure with a new switching procedure is presented. Compared with traditional structures, it optimizes problems cause by mismatches of DACs and saves power. In addition, this paper takes advantage of dis- tributed comparator topology to improve the speed, while the proposed structure and self-locking technique lighten the kickback and offset caused by multiple comparators. The measurement results demonstrate that the signal-to- noise plus distortion ratio （SNDR） is 32.13 dB and the spurious-free dynamic range （SFDR） is 44.05 dB at 600 MS/s with 5.6 MHz input. By contrast, the SNDR/SFDR respectively drops to 28.46/39.20 dB with Nyquist input. Fabricated in a TSMC 65 nm process, the SAR ADC core occupies an area of 0.045 mm2 and consumes power of 5.01 mW on a supply voltage of 1.2 V resulting in a figure of merit of 252 fJ/conversion-step.
