To explore the instability mechanism of room and pillar gob, we established a mechanical model of elastic plate on elastic foundation in which pillars and hard roofs were considered as continuous Winkler foundations and elastic plates, respectively. The synergetic instability of pillar and roof system was analyzed based on plate bending theory and catastrophe theory. In addition, mechanical conditions and math criterion of roof failure and overall instability of coal pillar and roof system were given. Through analyzing both advantages and disadvantages of some technologies such as induced caving, filling, gob sealing and isolation, we presented a new filling method named box-filling, in view of box foundation theory, to control the disasters of ground collapse, water inrush and mine fire. In a gob's treatment project in Ordos, safety assessment and filling design of a room and pillar gob have been done by the mechanical model. The results show that the gob will collapse when the pillars' average yield band is wider than 0.93 m, and box-filling can control land collapse, mine flood and mine fire economically and efficiently. So it is worth to study further and popularize.展开更多

To obtain the plastic deformation of the pillar due to the shear slips of multiple shear bands, the pillar is divided into several narrow slices where compressive deformation is treated as uniformity. In the light of the compatibility condition of deformation, the total compressive displacement of the pillar is equal to the displacement of the beam in the middle span. An instability criterion is derived analytically based on the energy principle using a known size of localization band according to gradient dependent plasticity. The main advantage of the present model is that the effects of the constitutive parameters of rock and the geometrical size of structure are reflected in the criterion. The condition that the derivative of distributed load with respect to the deflection of the beam in the middle span is less than zero is not only equivalent to, but also even more concise in form than the instability criterion. To study the influences of constitutive parameters and geometrical size on stability, some examples are presented.展开更多

The method is based on the existence of solutions to the differential equations of the motion which asymptotically tends to the equilibrium state of the system as t tends to negative infinity. It is assumed that the kinetic energy, the Rayleigh dissipation function, and the positional forces in the neighborhood of the equilibrium position are infinitely differentiable functions. The results obtained here are partially generalized the results obtained by Kozlov et al. (Kozlov, V. V. The asymptotic motions of systems with dissi- pation.

METHODS: We conducted a systematic review according to the PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was performed in PubM ed, EMBASE and Google Scholar using the following search terms: "rugby" and "shoulder" in combination with "instability" or "dislocation". All articles published from inception of the included data sources to January 1st 2014 that evaluated surgical treatment of elite rugby players with anterior shoulder instability were examined. RESULTS: Only five studies were found that met the eligibility criteria. A total of 379 shoulders in 376 elite rugby union and league players were included. All the studies were retrospective cohort or case series studies. The mean Coleman Methodological Score for the 5 studies was 47.4(poor). Owing to heterogeneity amongst the studies, quantitative synthesis was not possible, however a detailed qualitative synthesis is reported. The overall recurrence rate of instability after surgery was 8.7%, and the mean return to competitive play, where reported, was 13 mo.CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic stabilization has been performed successfully in acute anterior instability and there is a preference for open Latarjet-type procedures when instability is associated with osseous defects.展开更多

文摘The rapid cycling synchrotron(RCS)at the China spallation neutron source operates as a high-intensity proton accelerator.The coupled bunch instability was observed during RCS beam commissioning,which significantly limited the beam power.To investigate the dynamics of instability under an increased beam power,a pulsed octupole magnet with a gradient of 900 T/m^(3) was developed.The magnet system integrated an octupole magnet with a pulsed power supply.The field was carefully measured to examine the performance before its installation into the tunnel.After the installation of the magnets,beam measurements were performed to confirm the effectiveness of the instability mitigation on an actual proton beam.The measurement results show that the instability can be suppressed using the pulsed octupole magnet,particularly at the highenergy stage in an acceleration cycle,meeting the requirements for stable operation of the accelerator.Additionally,when the instability is completely suppressed through chromaticity optimization,octupole magnets can significantly enhance the RCS transmission efficiency,which is crucial for controlling beam loss.The pulsed octupole magnet offers significant progress in beam stability in the RCS,providing valuable experience for further beam power enhancement.

文摘Aiming at the problem of dynamic instability of hard-brittle jointed rock surrounding in deep tunnel/roadway engineering,combining with the support concepts of"coupling rigidity with flexibility"and"overcoming rigidity by flexibility",the prevention and control method with"rigid-flexible coupling(R-F-C)"was put forward.Through numerical simulation calculation,the impact damage process,acoustic emission(AE)evolution characteristics,and element stress/displacement evolution characteristics of unsupported surrounding rock structure model,rigid supporting surrounding rock structure model,and"R-F-C"supporting surrounding rock structure model under horizontal bidirectional impact loading were compared and analyzed.Based on the theory of stress wave propagation,the dynamic instability catastrophe mechanism of three kinds of supporting structure models induced by horizontal bidirectional impact loading was revealed.Based on the Mohr-Coulomb strength theory,the stress discrimination methods of dynamic catastrophe of surrounding rock induced by horizontal bidirectional impact loading under three kinds of supporting structures were proposed.Combined with the above numerical simulation study,the explosion impact physical and mechanical test of"R-F-C"surrounding rock supporting plate structure was further designed and carried out.Finally,combined with the"conceptual model of ball-cliff potential energy instability",the energy driving theory and energy transformation mechanism of impact-induced rockburst under three kinds of supporting structures were discussed deeply.The research results provided a scientific basis for further promoting the effective application of"R-F-C"supporting structure in the prevention and control of dynamic instability of deep tunnel/roadway surrounding rock.

文摘Background:Acute ankle injury causes damage to joint mechanoreceptors and deafferentation and contributes to proprioception deficits in patients with chronic ankle instability(CAI).We aimed to explore whether deficits of proprioception,including kinesthesia and joint position sense(JPS),exist in patients with CAI when compared with the uninjured contralateral side and healthy people.We hypothesized that proprioception deficits did exist in patients with CAI and that the deficits varied by test methodologies.Methods:The study was a systematic review and meta-analysis.We identified studies that compared kinesthesia or JPS in patients with CAI with the uninjured contralateral side or with healthy controls.Meta-analyses were conducted for the studies with similar test procedures,and narrative syntheses were undertaken for the rest.Results:A total of 7731 studies were identified,of which 30 were included for review.A total of 21 studies were eligible for meta-analysis.Compared with the contralateral side,patients with CAI had ankle kinesthesia deficits in inversion and plantarflexion,with a standardized mean difference(SMD)of 0.41 and 0.92,respectively,and active and passive JPS deficits in inversion(SMD=0.92 and 0.72,respectively).Compared with healthy people,patients with CAI had ankle kinesthesia deficits in inversion and eversion(SMD=0.64 and 0.76,respectively),and active JPS deficits in inversion and eversion(SMD=1.00 and 4.82,respectively).Proprioception deficits in the knee and shoulder of patients with CAI were not statistically significant.Conclusion:Proprioception,including both kinesthesia and JPS,of the injured ankle of patients with CAI was impaired,compared with the uninjured contralateral limbs and healthy people.Proprioception varied depending on different movement directions and test methodologies.The use of more detailed measurements of proprioception and interventions for restoring the deficits are recommended in the clinical management of CAI.

文摘Rayleigh-Marangoni-Bénard instability in a system of two-layer fluids is studied nu- merically.The convective instabilities in the system of Silicon Oil(10cSt)and Fluorinert(FC70)liquids have been analyzed.The critical parameters at onset of convection are presented in a large range of two-layer depth ratios from 0.2 to 5.0.Numerical results show that the instability of the two-layer system depends strongly on its depth ratio.When the depth ratio increases,the instability mode changes from mechanical coupling to thermal coupling.Between these two typical coupling modes, a time-dependent oscillation is detected.Nevertheless,traveling wave states are found in the case of oscillatory instability.The oscillation mode results from the competition between Rayleigh instability and Marangoni effect.

文摘The security challenges from room and pillar gobs include land subsidence, spontaneous combustion of coal pillars and mine flood caused by gob water. To explore the instability mechanism of room and pillar gob, we established a mechanical model of elastic plate on elastic foundation in which pillars and hard roofs were considered as continuous Winkler foundations and elastic plates, respectively. The synergetic instability of pillar and roof system was analyzed based on plate bending theory and catastrophe theory. In addition, mechanical conditions and math criterion of roof failure and overall instability of coal pillar and roof system were given. Through analyzing both advantages and disadvantages of some technologies such as induced caving, filling, gob sealing and isolation, we presented a new filling method named box-filling, in view of box foundation theory, to control the disasters of ground collapse, water inrush and mine fire. In a gob's treatment project in Ordos, safety assessment and filling design of a room and pillar gob have been done by the mechanical model. The results show that the gob will collapse when the pillars' average yield band is wider than 0.93 m, and box-filling can control land collapse, mine flood and mine fire economically and efficiently. So it is worth to study further and popularize.

文摘Traditional procedures to treat vibrations of gyroscopic continua involve direct application of perturbation methods to a system with both a strong gyroscopic term and other weakly coupled terms.In this study,a gyroscopic modes decoupling method is used to obtain an equivalent system with decoupled gyroscopic modes having only weak couplings.Taking the axially moving string as an example,the instability boundaries in the vicinity of parametric resonances are detected using both the traditional coupled gyroscopic system and our system with decoupled gyroscopic modes,and the results are compared to show the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
文摘A mechanical model is proposed for the system of elastic beam and strain-softening pillar where strain localization is initiated at peak shear stress. To obtain the plastic deformation of the pillar due to the shear slips of multiple shear bands, the pillar is divided into several narrow slices where compressive deformation is treated as uniformity. In the light of the compatibility condition of deformation, the total compressive displacement of the pillar is equal to the displacement of the beam in the middle span. An instability criterion is derived analytically based on the energy principle using a known size of localization band according to gradient dependent plasticity. The main advantage of the present model is that the effects of the constitutive parameters of rock and the geometrical size of structure are reflected in the criterion. The condition that the derivative of distributed load with respect to the deflection of the beam in the middle span is less than zero is not only equivalent to, but also even more concise in form than the instability criterion. To study the influences of constitutive parameters and geometrical size on stability, some examples are presented.

文摘BACKGROUND Hemodynamic instability and shock are associated with untoward outcomes in gastrointestinal bleeding.However,there are no studies in the existing literature on the proportion of patients who developed these outcomes after gastrointestinal bleeding.AIM To determine the pooled event rates in the available literature and specify them based on the bleeding source.METHODS The protocol was registered on PROSPERO in advance(CRD42021283258).A systematic search was performed in three databases(PubMed,EMBASE,and CENTRAL)on 14^(th) October 2021.Pooled proportions with 95%CI were calculated with a random-effects model.A subgroup analysis was carried out based on the time of assessment(on admission or during hospital stay).Heterogeneity was assessed by Higgins and Thompson’s I^(2) statistics.The Joanna Briggs Institute Prevalence Critical Appraisal Tool was used for the risk of bias assessment.The Reference Citation Analysis(https://www.referencecitationanalysis.com/)tool was applied to obtain the latest highlight articles.RESULTS We identified 11589 records,of which 220 studies were eligible for data extraction.The overall proportion of shock and hemodynamic instability in general gastrointestinal bleeding patients was 0.25(95%CI:0.17-0.36,I^(2)=100%).In non-variceal bleeding,the proportion was 0.22(95%CI:0.14-0.31,I^(2)=100%),whereas it was 0.25(95%CI:0.19-0.32,I^(2)=100%)in variceal bleeding.The proportion of patients with colonic diverticular bleeding who developed shock or hemodynamic instability was 0.12(95%CI:0.06-0.22,I^(2)=90%).The risk of bias was low,and heterogeneity was high in all analyses.CONCLUSION One in five,one in four,and one in eight patients develops shock or hemodynamic instability on admission or during hospitalization in the case of non-variceal,variceal,and colonic diverticular bleeding,respectively.
文摘A longitudinal accumulation scheme based on a triple-frequency RF system,in which the static radio frequency(RF)bucket is lengthened to be compatible with the realizable raise time of a fast pulse kicker,is proposed in this paper.With this technique,the bunch from a booster can be captured by the longitudinal acceptance without any disturbance to the stored bunch,which remains at the center.This composite RF system consists of three different frequencies,which can be regarded as the conventional bunch lengthening RF system(usually containing fundamental and third harmonic cavities)extended by an additional second harmonic RF cavity.In this paper,we discuss the RF jitter and the transverse mode-coupling instability(TMCI)when using this special RF system.Considering several different bunch profiles,we discuss the beam stability with regard to the RF jitter.However,for the TMCI we assume an ideal bunch profile,where the bunch is exactly lengthened to the maximum extent.While macroparticle simulation is the main method used to study the impact of the RF jitter,numerical analysis and simulations for the TMCI while using a triple-frequency RF system are also presented in this paper.An approximation formula,based on the existing model,is also derived to estimate the impact of the TMCI on the single bunch current threshold when using harmonic cavities.
文摘BACKGROUND Recently,the use of ligament advanced reinforcement system(LARS)artificial ligament,a new graft which has several unique advantages such as no donor-site morbidity,early recovery and no risk of disease transmission which has been a significant breakthrough for anatomical ligament reconstruction.Growing studies suggested that the special design of the LARS ligament with open fibers in its intra-articular part was believed to be more resistant to torsional fatigue and wearing.However,the safety and efficacy of LARS artificial ligament for ankle joint lateral collateral ankle ligament reconstruction has not been defined to date.AIM To evaluate the clinical results of all-arthroscopic anatomical reconstruction of ankle joint lateral collateral ligaments with the LARS artificial ligament for chronic ankle instability.METHODS Twenty-two patients with chronic lateral instability underwent anatomical reconstruction of the lateral collateral ligaments of ankle with LARS artificial ligament.The visual analogue score(VAS),American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score(AOFAS score)and Karlsson score were used to evaluate the clinical results before and after surgery.RESULTS A total of 22 patients(22 ankles)were followed up for a mean of 12 mo.All patients reported significant improvement compared to their preoperative status.The mean AOFAS score improved from 42.3±4.9 preoperatively to 90.4±6.7 postoperatively.The mean Karlsson score improved from 38.5±3.2 preoperatively to 90.1±7.8 postoperatively.The mean VAS score improved from 1.9±2.5 preoperatively to 0.8±1.7 postoperatively.CONCLUSION All-arthroscopic anatomical reconstruction of the lateral collateral ligaments with LARS artificial ligament achieved a satisfactory surgical outcome for chronic ankle instability.

文摘The vibration instability of the nonlinear dynamic system of the rolls considering the structural clearance was theoretically investigated,which is caused by the roll assembly accuracy deviation in the hot rolling process.Firstly,the dynamic rolling force model was established based on the Wekbrod model under the influence of the roll grinding deviation and the stability of the deformation zone.Further,the horizontal and vertical direction coupling dynamic model of the work roll was established considering the structural clearance between the roll and mill frame.Then,the nonlinear dynamic equation was solved by the Runge-Kutta method.The simulation results show that the dynamic system presents the nonlinear vibration characteristics,which shows that the instability of the system is a slowly varying response process with the characteristics of self-excited vibration and forced vibration.Finally,the comparison results show the consistency between the simulation and the test.
文摘BACKGROUND The medial patellofemoral ligament(MPFL),along with the medial patellotibial ligament(MPTL)and medial patellomeniscal ligament,aid in the stabilization of the patellofemoral joint.Although the MPFL is the primary stabilizer and the MPTL is a secondary limiter,this ligament is critical in maintaining joint stability.There have been few studies on the combined MPFL and MPTL reconstruction and its benefits.AIM To look into the outcomes of combined MPFL and MPTL reconstruction in frequent patellar instability.METHODS By May 8,2022,four electronic databases were searched:Medline(PubMed),Scopus,Web of Science,and Google Scholar.General keywords such as"patellar instability,""patellar dislocation,""MPFL,""medial patellofemoral ligament,""MPTL,"and"medial patellotibial ligament"were co-searched to increase the sensitivity of the search.RESULTS The pooled effects of combined MPFL and MPTL reconstruction for Kujala score(12-mo followup)and Kujala score(24-mo follow-up)were positive and incremental,according to the findings of this meta-analysis.The mean difference between the Cincinnati scores was also positive,but not statistically significant.The combination of the two surgeries reduces pain.According to cumulative meta-analysis,the trend of pain reduction in various studies is declining over time.CONCLUSION The combined MPFL and MPTL reconstruction has good clinical results in knee function and,in addition to providing good control to maintain patellofemoral joint balance,the patient's pain level decreases over time,making it a valid surgical method for patella stabilization.

文摘The paper discusses the equilibrium instability problem of the scleronomic nonholonomic systems acted upon by dissipative, conservative, and circulatory forces. The method is based on the existence of solutions to the differential equations of the motion which asymptotically tends to the equilibrium state of the system as t tends to negative infinity. It is assumed that the kinetic energy, the Rayleigh dissipation function, and the positional forces in the neighborhood of the equilibrium position are infinitely differentiable functions. The results obtained here are partially generalized the results obtained by Kozlov et al. (Kozlov, V. V. The asymptotic motions of systems with dissi- pation. Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 58(5), 787-792 (1994). Merkin, D. R. Introduction to the Theory of the Stability of Motion (in Russian), Nauka, Moscow (1987). Thomson, W. and Tait, P. Treatise on Natural Philosophy, Part I, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (1879)). The results are illustrated by an example.
文摘AIM: To systematically evaluate the evidence-based literature on surgical treatment interventions for elite rugby players with anterior shoulder instability. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review according to the PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was performed in PubM ed, EMBASE and Google Scholar using the following search terms: "rugby" and "shoulder" in combination with "instability" or "dislocation". All articles published from inception of the included data sources to January 1st 2014 that evaluated surgical treatment of elite rugby players with anterior shoulder instability were examined. RESULTS: Only five studies were found that met the eligibility criteria. A total of 379 shoulders in 376 elite rugby union and league players were included. All the studies were retrospective cohort or case series studies. The mean Coleman Methodological Score for the 5 studies was 47.4(poor). Owing to heterogeneity amongst the studies, quantitative synthesis was not possible, however a detailed qualitative synthesis is reported. The overall recurrence rate of instability after surgery was 8.7%, and the mean return to competitive play, where reported, was 13 mo.CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic stabilization has been performed successfully in acute anterior instability and there is a preference for open Latarjet-type procedures when instability is associated with osseous defects.

文摘In the present paper, we investigate the instability, adiabaticity, and controlling effects of external fields for a dark state in a homonuclear atom-tetramer conversion that is implemented by a generalized stimulated Raman adiabatic passage. We analytically obtain the regions for the appearance of dynamical instability and study the adiabatic evolution by a newly defined adiabatic fidelity. Moreover, the effects of the external field parameters and the spontaneous emissions on the conversion efficiency are also investigated.
