The model is universal and can simulate the vibration characteristic of the shell under different states including the states in which PSDP cannot be connected, partially connected, and completely connected to the shunt circuit. The equivalent loss factor and elastic modulus with frequency dependence are proposed to consider the electrical damping effect of resistance shunt circuits. Moreover, the semi-analytical dynamic equation of the cylindrical shell with PSDP is derived by the Lagrange equation. An experimental test is carried out on the cylindrical shell with PSDP to verify the vibration suppression ability of PSDP on the cylindrical shell and the correctness of the proposed model.

By aid of introducing two rectangular sources located in the gate dielectric layer and the channel, the 2-D Poisson equation is solved by using a semi-analytical method combined with an eigenfunction expansion method. The expression of the surface potential is obtained, which is a special function for the infinite series expressions. The influence of the mobile charges on the potential profile is taken into account in the proposed model. On the basis of the potential profile, the shortest tunneling length and the average electrical field can be derived, and the drain current is then constructed by using Kane＇s model. In particular, the changes of the tunneling parameters Ak and Bk influenced by the drain-source voltage are also incorporated in the predicted model. The proposed model shows a good agreement with TCAD simulation results under different drain-source voltages, silicon film thicknesses, gate dielectric layer thicknesses, and gate dielectric layer constants. Therefore, it is useful to optimize the DG TFET and this provides a physical insight for circuit level design.展开更多

文摘By considering electromechanical coupling, a unified dynamic model of the cylindrical shell with the piezoelectric shunt damping patch(PSDP) is created. The model is universal and can simulate the vibration characteristic of the shell under different states including the states in which PSDP cannot be connected, partially connected, and completely connected to the shunt circuit. The equivalent loss factor and elastic modulus with frequency dependence are proposed to consider the electrical damping effect of resistance shunt circuits. Moreover, the semi-analytical dynamic equation of the cylindrical shell with PSDP is derived by the Lagrange equation. An experimental test is carried out on the cylindrical shell with PSDP to verify the vibration suppression ability of PSDP on the cylindrical shell and the correctness of the proposed model. Furthermore, the parameter analysis shows that determining the appropriate resistance value in the shunt circuit can achieve a good vibration suppression effect.

文摘The main objective of this study is to develop the optimal semi-analytical modeling for the infiniteconductivity horizontal well performance under rectangular bounded reservoir based on a new instantaneous source function.The available semi-analytical infinite-conductivity models(ICMs)for horizontal well under rectangular bounded reservoir in literature were developed by applying superposition of pressures in space(SPS).A new instantaneous source function(i.e.,instantaneous uniform-flux segmentary source function under bounded reservoir)is derived to be used instead of SPS to develop the optimal semi-analytical ICM.The new semi-analytical ICM is verified with ICM of Schlumberger[1]and with previous semi-analytical ICMs in terms of bottom hole pressure(BHP)profile and inflow rate distribution along the wellbore.The model is also validated with real horizontal wells in terms of inflow rate distribution along the wellbore.The results show that the developed model gives the optimal semi-analytical modeling for the infinite-conductivity horizontal well performance under rectangular bounded reservoir.Besides that,high computationalefficiency and high-resolution of wellbore discretization have been achieved(i.e.,wellbore segment number could be tens of hundreds depending on solution requirement).The results also show that at pseudosteady state(PSS)flow regime,inflow rate distribution along the wellbore by previous semi-analytical ICMs is stabilized U-shaped as performance of inflow rate distribution at late radial flow regime.Therefore,the previous semi-analytical ICMs are incorrectly modeling inflow rate distribution at PSS flow regime due to the negative influence of applying SPS.The optimal semi-analytical ICM is in a general form and real time domain,and can be applicable for 3D horizontal well and 2D vertical fracture well under infinite and rectangular bounded reservoirs,of uniform-flux and infinite-conductivity wellbore conditions at any time of well life.

文摘The loss of hydrocarbon production caused by the dynamic behavior of the inner boundary and propped fractures under long-term production conditions has been widely reported in recent studies.However,the quantitative relationships for the variations of the inner boundary and propped fractures have not been determined and incorporated in the semi-analytical models for the pressure and rate transient analysis.This work focuses on describing the variations of the inner boundary and propped fractures and capturing the typical characteristics from the pressure transient curves.A generalized semi-analytical model was developed to characterize the dynamic behavior of the inner boundary and propped fractures under long-term production conditions.The pressure-dependent length shrinkage coefficients,which quantify the length changes of the inner zone and propped fractures,are modified and incorporated into this multi-zone semi-analytical model.With simultaneous numerical iterations and numerical inversions in Laplace and real-time space,the transient solutions to pressure and rate behavior are determined in just a few seconds.The dynamic behavior of the inner boundary and propped fractures on transient pressure curves is divided into five periods:fracture bilinear flow(FR1),dynamic PFs flow(FR2),inner-area linear flow(FR3),dynamic inner boundary flow(FR4),and outer-area dominated linear flow(FR5).The early hump during FR2 period and a positive upward shift during FR4period are captured on the log-log pressure transient curves,reflecting the dynamic behavior of the inner boundary and propped fractures during the long-term production period.The transient pressure behavior will exhibit greater positive upward trend and the flow rate will be lower with the shrinkage of the inner boundary.The pressure derivative curve will be upward earlier as the inner boundary shrinks more rapidly.The lower permeability caused by the closure of un-propped fractures in the inner zone results in greater upward in pressure derivative curves.If the permeability loss for the dynamic behavior of the inner boundary caused by the closure of un-propped fractures is neglected,the flow rate will be overestimated in the later production period.

文摘A 2-D semi-analytical model of double gate （DG） tunneling field-effect transistor （TFET） is proposed. By aid of introducing two rectangular sources located in the gate dielectric layer and the channel, the 2-D Poisson equation is solved by using a semi-analytical method combined with an eigenfunction expansion method. The expression of the surface potential is obtained, which is a special function for the infinite series expressions. The influence of the mobile charges on the potential profile is taken into account in the proposed model. On the basis of the potential profile, the shortest tunneling length and the average electrical field can be derived, and the drain current is then constructed by using Kane＇s model. In particular, the changes of the tunneling parameters Ak and Bk influenced by the drain-source voltage are also incorporated in the predicted model. The proposed model shows a good agreement with TCAD simulation results under different drain-source voltages, silicon film thicknesses, gate dielectric layer thicknesses, and gate dielectric layer constants. Therefore, it is useful to optimize the DG TFET and this provides a physical insight for circuit level design.

文摘This work focuses on the fluid-rigid interaction dynamics in the presence of a magnetic field.A rigid thin rectangular column immersed inside stationary metal liquid vibrates with a fixed small amplitude.The magneto-fluid-solid interaction(MFSI)dynamics issue is studied based on the complex Green’s function method.Considering either the normal or tangential vibration of a column,two types of semi-analytical solutions expressed by stream function integral equations of magnetic corrections,describing the time-displacement history of the column,flow field and electrical potential field of metal fluid and representing transient coupling effects of multi-physics field,are derived,respectively.Nonuniform discretization schemes and an iterative plan are applied to evaluate added damping and inertial loads.The results show that the main factor affecting normal vibration is pressure load,and the main factor affecting tangential vibration is vorticity load.The nonlinear effects of magnetic fields on the dynamics of fluid-rigid thin columns are revealed.The normal vibration exhibits better stability than the tangential vibration under the magnetic field.The induced electrical potential field and current intensity excited by normal vibration are significantly stronger than that of tangential vibration.These semi-analytical solutions can be applied as benchmarks in future validation and verification works for MFSI numerical algorithms for magnetic confinement nuclear fusion science.
文摘Based on the Hamiltonian governing equations of plane elasticity for sectorial domain, the variable separation and eigenfunction expansion techniques were employed to develop a novel analytical finite element for the fictitious crack model in fracture mechanics of concrete. The new analytical element can be implemented into FEM program systems to solve fictitious crack propagation problems for concrete cracked plates with arbitrary shapes and loads. Numerical results indicate that the method is more efficient and accurate than ordinary finite element method.

文摘The electromagnetic(EM)telemetry systems,employed for real-time data transmission from the borehole and the earth surface during drilling,are widely used in measurement-while-drilling(MWD)and logging-while-drilling(LWD).Several numerical methods,including the method of moments(MoM),the electric field integral equation(EFIE)method,and the finite-element(FE)method have been developed for the simulation of EM telemetry systems.The computational process of these methods is complicated and time-consuming.To solve this problem,we introduce an axisymmetric semi-analytical FE method(SAFEM)in the cylindrical coordinate system with the virtual layering technique for rapid simulation of EM telemetry in a layered earth.The proposed method divides the computational domain into a series of homogeneous layers.For each layer,only its cross-section is discretized,and a high-precision integration method based on Riccati equations is employed for the calculation of longitudinally homogeneous sections.The block-tridiagonal structure of the global coefficient matrix enables the use of the block Thomas algorithm,facilitating the efficient simulation of EM telemetry problems in layered media.After the theoretical development,we validate the accuracy and efficiency of our algorithm through a series of numerical experiments and comparisons with the Multiphysics modeling software COMSOL.We also discussed the impact of system parameters on EM telemetry signal and demonstrated the applicability of our method by testing it on a field dataset acquired from Dezhou,Shandong Province,China.

文摘Fatigue failure caused by vibration is the most common type of pipeline failure.The core of this research is to obtain the nonlinear dynamic stress of a pipeline system accurately and efficiently,a topic that needs to be explored in the existing literature.The shell theory can better simulate the circumferential stress distribution,and thus the Mindlin-Reissner shell theory is used to model the pipeline.In this paper,the continuous pipeline system is combined with clamps through modal expansion for the first time,which realizes the coupling problem between a shell and a clamp.While the Bouc-Wen model is used to simulate the nonlinear external force generated by a clamp,the nonlinear coupling characteristics of the system are effectively captured.Then,the dynamic equation of the clamp-pipeline system is established according to the Lagrange energy equation.Based on the resonance frequency and stress amplitude obtained from the experiment,the nonlinear parameters of the clamp are identified with the semi-analytical method(SAM)and particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm.This study provides a theoretical basis for the clamp-pipeline system and an efficient and universal solution for stress prediction and analysis of pipelines in engineering.
文摘Model evaluation using benchmark datasets is an important method to measure the capability of large language models(LLMs)in specific domains,and it is mainly used to assess the knowledge and reasoning abilities of LLMs.Therefore,in order to better assess the capability of LLMs in the agricultural domain,Agri-Eval was proposed as a benchmark for assessing the knowledge and reasoning ability of LLMs in agriculture.The assessment dataset used in Agri-Eval covered seven major disciplines in the agricultural domain:crop science,horticulture,plant protection,animal husbandry,forest science,aquaculture science,and grass science,and contained a total of 2283 questions.Among domestic general-purpose LLMs,DeepSeek R1 performed best with an accuracy rate of 75.49%.In the realm of international general-purpose LLMs,Gemini 2.0 pro exp 0205 standed out as the top performer,achieving an accuracy rate of 74.28%.As an LLMs in agriculture vertical,Shennong V2.0 outperformed all the LLMs in China,and the answer accuracy rate of agricultural knowledge exceeded that of all the existing general-purpose LLMs.The launch of Agri-Eval helped the LLM developers to comprehensively evaluate the model's capability in the field of agriculture through a variety of tasks and tests to promote the development of the LLMs in the field of agriculture.

文摘In this paper,we establish and study a single-species logistic model with impulsive age-selective harvesting.First,we prove the ultimate boundedness of the solutions of the system.Then,we obtain conditions for the asymptotic stability of the trivial solution and the positive periodic solution.Finally,numerical simulations are presented to validate our results.Our results show that age-selective harvesting is more conducive to sustainable population survival than non-age-selective harvesting.
文摘In their recent paper Pereira et al.(2025)claim that validation is overlooked in mapping and modelling of ecosystem services(ES).They state that“many studies lack critical evaluation of the results and no validation is provided”and that“the validation step is largely overlooked”.This assertion may have been true several years ago,for example,when Ochoa and Urbina-Cardona(2017)made a similar observation.However,there has been much work on ES model validation over the last decade.

文摘In recent years,there has been an increasing need for climate information across diverse sectors of society.This demand has arisen from the necessity to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate variability and change.Likewise,this period has seen a significant increase in our understanding of the physical processes and mechanisms that drive precipitation and its variability across different regions of Africa.By leveraging a large volume of climate model outputs,numerous studies have investigated the model representation of African precipitation as well as underlying physical processes.These studies have assessed whether the physical processes are well depicted and whether the models are fit for informing mitigation and adaptation strategies.This paper provides a review of the progress in precipitation simulation overAfrica in state-of-the-science climate models and discusses the major issues and challenges that remain.
