The transport speed was assumed to be a constant mean speed with small harmonic variations. The nonlinear partial-differential equation that governs the transverse vibration of the string was derived by use of the Hamilton principle. The method of multiple scales was applied directly to the equation. The solvability condition of eliminating the secular terms was established. Closed form solutions for the amplitude and the existence conditions of nontrivial steady-state response of the two-to-one parametric resonance were obtained. Some numerical examples showing effects of the mean transport speed, the amplitude and the frequency of speed variation were presented. The Liapunov linearized stability theory was employed to derive the instability conditions of the trivial solution and the nontrivial solutions for the two-to-one parametric resonance. Some numerical examples highlighting influences of the related parameters on the instability conditions were presented.展开更多

However, studying the effect of film thickness on LFHDPs optoelectronic properties has not yet been investigated. Herein, we synthesized two new Ruddlesden–Popper LFHDPs, namely(C_(5)H_(12)N)_(4)AgBiI_(8)(CAB-1) and(C_(6)H_(14)N)_(4)Ag Bi I8(CAB-2) using cyclopentylamine and cyclohexylamine as monoamine ligands. Indeed, these two Ag(Ⅰ)-Bi(Ⅲ) LFHDPs form smooth and uniform films ranging in thickness from 250 nm to 1 μm, with preferred orientations. Notably, the studies on the optical properties showed that the direct band gap value decreased from 2.17 e V to 1.91 e V for CAB-1 and from 2.05 e V to 1.86 e V for CAB-2 with increasing thickness. Accordingly, photo-current response using a xenon lamp revealed a significant difference of over 1000 n A between light and dark conditions for1 μm-thickness films, suggesting potential for light harvesting. Other than that, thicker films of CAB-1and CAB-2 exhibit high stability for 90 days in a relatively humid environment(RH of 55%), paving the way for promising optoelectronic applications.展开更多

文摘The outstanding performance of O3-type NaNi_(1/3)Fe_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_(2)(NFM111)at both high and low temperatures coupled with its impressive specific capacity makes it an excellent cathode material for sodium-ion batteries.However,its poor cycling,owing to highpressure phase transitions,is one of its disadvantages.In this study,Cu/Ti was introduced into NFM111 cathode material using a solidphase method.Through both theoretically and experimentally,this study found that Cu doping provides a higher redox potential in NFM111,improving its reversible capacity and charge compensation process.The introduction of Ti would enhance the cycling stability of the material,smooth its charge and discharge curves,and suppress its high-voltage phase transitions.Accordingly,the NaNi_(0.27)Fe_(0.28)Mn_(0.33)Cu_(0.05)Ti_(0.06)O_(2)sample used in the study exhibited a remarkable rate performance of 142.97 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.1 C(2.0-4.2 V)and an excellent capacity retention of 72.81%after 300 cycles at 1C(1C=150 mA·g^(-1)).
文摘AIM:To investigate age-related differences in the irislens angle(ILA)among patients with age-related cortical cataracts and elucidate the impact of age on lens stability.METHODS:A prospective observational study was conducted on patients with age-related cortical cataracts scheduled for phacoemulsification surgery.Preoperative ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM)images were collected and analyzed.Initially,patients were stratified into two age groups:<60y and≥60y,with no significant intergroup differences in sex or eye laterality.For further analysis,participants were subdivided into three age strata:<60y,60-75y,and>75y.The ILA was measured in four quadrants(superior,inferior,nasal,and temporal).Intergroup differences in ILA were compared,and correlations between age and ILA parameters were analyzed using statistical methods.RESULTS:The sample data were categorized into three groups according to age,<60y(113 patients;55.8%female),60–75y(245 patients;61.0%female),and>75y(70 patients;50.2%female).The superior quadrant ILA increased progressively with age stratification(P=0.02),and the maximum ILA difference(ΔILA)was significantly higher in patients over 75y(P<0.01).Simple linear regression analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between age and ILA in the superior(Y=7.487+0.096X,R=0.191,P<0.001)and temporal(Y=10.254+0.052X,R=0.104,P=0.032)quadrants.Additionally,the mean ILA across all quadrants(ILAmean)andΔILA were positively correlated with age(ILAmean:Y=9.721+0.055X,R=0.138,P=0.004;ΔILA:Y=3.267+0.044X,R=0.006,P<0.05).CONCLUSION:In patients with age-related cortical cataracts,ILA increases with age,particularly in the superior and temporal quadrants,suggesting that advanced age is associated with greater lens deviation and decreased lens stability.UBM imaging can effectively evaluate the status of the zonule and lens stability,providing crucial evidence for personalized surgical planning based on patients’age.
文摘The steady-state transverse vibration of an axially moving string with geometric nonlinearity was investigated. The transport speed was assumed to be a constant mean speed with small harmonic variations. The nonlinear partial-differential equation that governs the transverse vibration of the string was derived by use of the Hamilton principle. The method of multiple scales was applied directly to the equation. The solvability condition of eliminating the secular terms was established. Closed form solutions for the amplitude and the existence conditions of nontrivial steady-state response of the two-to-one parametric resonance were obtained. Some numerical examples showing effects of the mean transport speed, the amplitude and the frequency of speed variation were presented. The Liapunov linearized stability theory was employed to derive the instability conditions of the trivial solution and the nontrivial solutions for the two-to-one parametric resonance. Some numerical examples highlighting influences of the related parameters on the instability conditions were presented.

文摘Although the deployment of alternating current(AC)-busbar plug-in electric vehicle(PEV)charging station with photovoltaic(PV)is a promising alternative,the interaction among subsystems always causes the instability problem.Meanwhile,the conventional generalized Nyquist criterion(GNC)is complex,and it is not suitable for the design of the AC system.Therefore,this paper proposes a modified infinityone-norm(MION)stability criterion based on the impedance method to assess the stability of the foresaid charging station.Firstly,the typical structure and operation modes of the charging station are studied.Furthermore,each subsystem impedance matrix is built by small-signal method,and the MION stability criterion based on impedance method is proposed to assess the charging station stability.Compared with the previous simplified stability criteria based on the norm,the proposed criterion has lower conservatism.Furthermore,the design regulation for the controller parameters is provided,and the stability recovery way is provided by connecting the doubly-fed line and energy storage equipment,which are selected based on intermediate variable,i.e.,short-circuit ratio(SCR).Finally,the effectiveness and conservatism of the proposed stability criterion are validated through simulation and experimental results.
文摘Fatty acids are the main constituents of vegetable oils.To determine the fatty acid compositions of small trade vegetable oils and some less well studied beneficial vegetable oils,and investigate their relationships with antioxidant activity and oxidative stability,gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed to characterize the associated fatty acid profiles.The antioxidant activity of vegetable oils,based on their DPPH-scavenging capacity(expressed as IC_(50) values),was used to assess their impact on human health,and their oxidative stability was characterized by performing lipid oxidation analysis to determine the oxidative induction time of fats and oils.In addition,correlation analyses were performed to examine associations between the fatty acid composition of the oils and DPPH-scavenging capacity and oxidative stability.The results revealed that among the assessed oils,coffee seed oil has the highest saturated fatty acid content(355.10 mg/g),whereas Garddenia jaminoides oil has the highest unsaturated fatty acid content(844.84 mg/g).Coffee seed oil was also found have the lowest DPPH IC_(50) value(2.30 mg/mL)and the longest oxidation induction time(17.09 h).Correlation analysis revealed a significant linear relationship(P<0.05)between oxidative stability and unsaturated fatty acid content,with lower contents tending to be associated with better oxidative stability.The findings of this study provide reference data for the screening of functional edible vegetable oils.

文摘Actuator faults can be critical in turbofan engines as they can lead to stall,surge,loss of thrust and failure of speed control.Thus,fault diagnosis of gas turbine actuators has attracted considerable attention,from both academia and industry.However,the extensive literature that exists on this topic does not address identifying the severity of actuator faults and focuses mainly on actuator fault detection and isolation.In addition,previous studies of actuator fault identification have not dealt with multiple concurrent faults in real time,especially when these are accompanied by sudden failures under dynamic conditions.This study develops component-level models for fault identification in four typical actuators used in high-bypass ratio turbofan engines under both dynamic and steady-state conditions and these are then integrated with the engine performance model developed by the authors.The research results reported here present a novel method of quantifying actuator faults using dynamic effect compensation.The maximum error for each actuator is less than0.06%and 0.07%,with average computational time of less than 0.0058 s and 0.0086 s for steady-state and transient cases,respectively.These results confirm that the proposed method can accurately and efficiently identify concurrent actuator fault for an engine operating under either transient or steady-state conditions,even in the case of a sudden malfunction.The research results emonstrate the potential benefit to emergency response capabilities by introducing this method of monitoring the health of aero engines.

文摘Lead-free hybrid double perovskites(LFHDPs) have received a lot of attention due to their environmental friendliness and promising attributes. However, studying the effect of film thickness on LFHDPs optoelectronic properties has not yet been investigated. Herein, we synthesized two new Ruddlesden–Popper LFHDPs, namely(C_(5)H_(12)N)_(4)AgBiI_(8)(CAB-1) and(C_(6)H_(14)N)_(4)Ag Bi I8(CAB-2) using cyclopentylamine and cyclohexylamine as monoamine ligands. Indeed, these two Ag(Ⅰ)-Bi(Ⅲ) LFHDPs form smooth and uniform films ranging in thickness from 250 nm to 1 μm, with preferred orientations. Notably, the studies on the optical properties showed that the direct band gap value decreased from 2.17 e V to 1.91 e V for CAB-1 and from 2.05 e V to 1.86 e V for CAB-2 with increasing thickness. Accordingly, photo-current response using a xenon lamp revealed a significant difference of over 1000 n A between light and dark conditions for1 μm-thickness films, suggesting potential for light harvesting. Other than that, thicker films of CAB-1and CAB-2 exhibit high stability for 90 days in a relatively humid environment(RH of 55%), paving the way for promising optoelectronic applications.

文摘Backfill is often employed in mining operations for ground support,with its positive impact on ground stability acknowledged in many underground mines.However,existing studies have predominantly focused only on the stress development within the backfill material,leaving the influence of stope backfilling on stress distribution in surrounding rock mass and ground stability largely unexplored.Therefore,this paper presents numerical models in FLAC3D to investigate,for the first time,the time-dependent stress redistribution around a vertical backfilled stope and its implications on ground stability,considering the creep of surrounding rock mass.Using the Soft Soil constitutive model,the compressibility of backfill under large pressure was captured.It is found that the creep deformation of rock mass exercises compression on backfill and results in a less void ratio and increased modulus for fill material.The compacted backfill conversely influenced the stress distribution and ground stability of rock mass which was a combined effect of wall creep and compressibility of backfill.With the increase of time or/and creep deformation,the minimum principal stress in the rocks surrounding the backfilled stope increased towards the pre-mining stress state,while the deviatoric stress reduces leading to an increased factor of safety and improved ground stability.This improvement effect of backfill on ground stability increased with the increase of mine depth and stope height,while it is also more pronounced for the narrow stope,the backfill with a smaller compression index,and the soft rocks with a smaller viscosity coefficient.Furthermore,the results emphasize the importance of minimizing empty time and backfilling extracted stope as soon as possible for ground control.Reduction of filling gap height enhances the local stability around the roof of stope.

文摘As the penetration rate of distributed energy increases,the transient power angle stability problem of the virtual synchronous generator(VSG)has gradually become prominent.In view of the situation that the grid impedance ratio(R/X)is high and affects the transient power angle stability of VSG,this paper proposes a VSG transient power angle stability control strategy based on the combination of frequency difference feedback and virtual impedance.To improve the transient power angle stability of the VSG,a virtual impedance is adopted in the voltage loop to adjust the impedance ratio R/X;and the PI control feedback of the VSG frequency difference is introduced in the reactive powervoltage link of theVSGto enhance the damping effect.Thesecond-orderVSGdynamic nonlinearmodel considering the reactive power-voltage loop is established and the influence of different proportional integral(PI)control parameters on the system balance stability is analyzed.Moreover,the impact of the impedance ratio R/X on the transient power angle stability is presented using the equal area criterion.In the simulations,during the voltage dips with the reduction of R/X from 1.6 to 0.8,Δδ_(1)is reduced from 0.194 rad to 0.072 rad,Δf_(1)is reduced from 0.170 to 0.093 Hz,which shows better transient power angle stability.Simulation results verify that compared with traditional VSG,the proposedmethod can effectively improve the transient power angle stability of the system.

文摘In recent years,rapid urbanization has had a profound impact on landscape stability.As a typical example of China's rapid urbanization,Hangzhou has also experienced significant landscape changes,which have profoundly affected its ecological stability.Taking Hangzhou as an example,this study integrates land use change data from 1980 to 2020,combines dynamic simulation and ecological modeling techniques,and carries out a comprehensive analysis of historical trends and future predictions,to provide valuable insights into the complex interactions between urban expansion and landscape stability.The results indicate that:1)between 1980 and2020,Hangzhou experienced a significant increase in construction land at the expense of arable land,leading to a gradual decline in landscape stability,though the downward trend has slowed in recent years.2)The spatial distribution of landscape stability shows clear aggregation patterns,with lower stability concentrated in economically active flatlands and higher stability in the mountainous western regions.3)By 2040,further urban expansion is predicted to occur alongside increased landscape integration,reflecting the positive effects of ecological protection strategies.This study highlights the universal challenges of balancing economic growth with ecological stability in rapidly urbanizing regions.The combination of advanced simulation models and spatiotemporal analysis demonstrates a replicable framework for assessing urban expansion's ecological impacts.These findings underscore the importance of tailoring urban planning and ecological policies to address regional disparities,providing valuable insights for sustainable urban development and landscape management globally.

文摘Employing multiple metals for synergistic electronic structure regulation emerges as a promising approach to develop highly efficient and robust electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution at ampere levels.In this study,a series of Schreibersite-type intermetallic compounds,particularly Mo_(2)Fe_(0.8)Ru_(0.2)P,are synthesized through high-temperature solid-phase synthesis.Experimental results demonstrate that the integration of Ru significantly improves the kinetics of proton adsorption and desorption during the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).Additionally,density functional theory(DFT)calculations and X-ray absorption near edge structure(XANES)analyses effectively corroborate the pronounced d-orbital hybridization of Fe within the structure,which facilitates the transfer of hydroxide ions and the maintenance of material durability during alkaline HER processes.Remarkably,Mo_(2)Fe_(0.8)Ru_(0.2)P exhibits superior alkaline HER activity,characterized by an overpotential of merely 48 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^(-2).After prolonged operation of 1000 h at high current densities(1.1 A cm^(-2)),the activity decline remains minimal,under 4%(with overpotential increasing from 258 mV to 268 mV).These results demonstrate the potential of strategically combining metallic elements to design high-performance industrial-grade electrocatalysts.

文摘The future large-scale application of sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)is inseparable from their excellent electrochemical performance and reliable safety characteristics.At present,there are few studies focusing on their safety performance.The analysis of thermal stability and structural changes within a single material cannot systematically describe the complex interplay of components within the battery system during the thermal runaway process.Furthermore,the reaction between the battery materials themselves and their counterparts within the system can stimulate more intense exothermic behavior,thereby affecting the safety of the entire battery system.Therefore,this study delved into the thermal generation and gas evolution characteristics of the positive electrode(Na_(x)Ni_(1/3)Fe_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_(2),NFM111)and the negative electrode(hard carbon,HC)in SIBs,utilizing various material combinations.Through the integration of microscopic and macroscopic characterization techniques,the underlying reaction mechanisms of the positive and negative electrode materials within the battery during the heating process were elucidated.Three important results are derived from this study:(Ⅰ)The instability of the solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)leads to its decomposition at temperatures below 100℃,followed by extensive decomposition within the range of 100-150℃,yielding heat and the formation of inorganic compounds,such as Na_(2)CO_(3)and Na_(2)O;(Ⅱ)The reaction between NFM111 and the electrolyte constitutes the primary exothermic event during thermal abuse,with a discernible reaction also occurring between sodium metal and the electrolyte throughout the heating process;(Ⅲ)The heat production and gas generation behaviors of multi-component reactions do not exhibit complete correlation,and the occurrence of gas production does not necessarily coincide with thermal behavior.The results presented in this study can provide useful guidance for the safety improvement of SIBs.

文摘Designing catalysts with high catalytic activity and stability is the key to achieve the commercial application of MgH_(2).Herein,the sulfur doped Ti_(3)C_(2)(S-Ti_(3)C_(2))was successfully prepared by heat treatment of Ti_(3)C_(2)MXene under Ar/H_(2)S atmosphere to facilitate the hydrogen release and uptake from MgH_(2).The S-Ti_(3)C_(2)exhibited pleasant catalytic effect on the hydriding/dehydriding kinetics and cyclic stability of MgH_(2).The addition of 5 wt%S-Ti_(3)C_(2)into MgH_(2)resulted in a reduction of 114℃in the starting dehydriding temperature compared to pure MgH_(2).MgH_(2)+5 wt%S-Ti_(3)C_(2)sample could quickly release 6.6 wt%hydrogen in 17 min at 220℃,and 6.8 wt%H_(2)was absorbed in 25 min at 200℃.Cyclic testing revealed that MgH_(2)+5 wt%S-Ti_(3)C_(2)system achieved a reversible hydrogen capacity of 6.5 wt%.Characterization analysis demonstrated that Ti-species(Ti0,Ti^(2+),Ti-S,and Ti^(3+))as active species significantly lowered the dehydrogenation temperature and promoted the re-/dehydrogenation kinetics of MgH_(2),and sulfur doping can effectively improve the stability of Ti0 and Ti^(3+),contributing to the improvement of cyclic stability of MgH_(2).This study provides strategy for the construction of catalysts for hydrogen storage materials.
