Methods Sixty-three patients with knee osteoarthritis in conformity with the diagnostic criteria were randomly divided into the tension-balance-acupuncture group （32 cases, balance group for short） and the conventional acupuncture group （31 cases, conventional group for short） according to random number table. In the balance group, patients with the pain in the anterior flexor group were needled at Biguan （髀关 ST 31）, Fengshi （风市 GB 31）, Heding （鹤顶 EX-LE 2）,Dubi （犊鼻 ST 35）, Yanglingquan （阳陵泉 GB 34）, Xuehai （血海 SP 10） and Liangqiu （梁丘 ST 34） .Afterwards the patients were repositioned in prone position. They were given the treatment by needling at Huantiao （环跳 GB 30）, Chengfu （承扶 BL 36）, Weizhong （委中 BL 40）, Weiyang （委阳 BL 39）, Yinlingquan （阴陵泉 SP 9）, Ququan （曲泉 LV 8） and Chengshan（承山 BL 57）.Patients with the pain in the posterior extensor group were needled at ST 31, GB 31, EX-LE2, ST 35, GB 34, SP 10 and ST 34 .Then the patients were repositioned in prone position. They were given the treatment by needling at GB 30, BL 36, BL 40, BL 39, SP 9, LV 8 and BL 57. They were treated once a day with five days as a course of treatment and two days as an interval. After three courses, Lequesne indiceses before and after the treatment and clinical efficacy of the treatment were observed. In the conventional group, patients were treated in a sitting position by needling at ST 35, Xiyang （膝眼 EX-LE 5）,Zusanli（足三里 ST 36）, GB 34, Xuanzhong （悬钟 GB 39）, SP 9, EX-LE2, ST 34, Shenshu （肾俞 BL 23） and Pishu （脾俞 20）. They were treated once a day with five days as a course of treatment and two days as an interval. After three courses, the clinical efficacy of the treatment was observed. Results After three courses, improved Lequesne indices score was （5.55± 1.08） in the balance group while improved Lequesne indices score was （2.14 ± 0.57） in the conventional group, indicating that improved Lequesne indices score in the balance group was superior to that of the conventional group with the significant difference （P〈0.05）; efficacy rate in the balance group was 84.37% while that of the conventional group was 58.06%, and efficacy rate in the balance group was superior to that of the conventional group （P〈0.01）. Conclusion Clinical efficacy of treatment of knee osteoarthritis in the balance group was superior to that of the conventional group, worthy of clinical promotion.展开更多

In addition, the geometric models can be extended to predict surface tensions of multicom- ponent systems from those of sub-binary systems. For illustration, some calculated examples, including Pb-free soldering systems and phase-diagram evaluation of binary alloys in nanoparticle systems are given. On the basis of surface tensions of high-temperature melts, interracial tensions between liquid alloy and molten slag as well as molten slag and molten matter can be calculated using the Girifalco-Good equation [2]. Modifications are suggested in the Nishizawa＇s model [3] for estimation of interracial tension in liquid metal （A）/ceramics （MX） systems so that the calculations can be carried out based on the sublattice model and thermodynamic data, without deliberately differentiating the phase of MX at high temperature. Finally, the derivation of an approximate expression for predicting interfacial tension between the high-temperature multicomponent melts, employing Becker＇s model [4] in conjunction with Bulter＇s equation and inteffacial tension data of the simple systems is described, and some examples concerning pyrometallurgical systems are given for better understanding.展开更多

Therefore, the research on technological parameters becomes the focus of many scholars. However, how to accomplish the variable tension control is usually not fully considered. Accordingly, the constant extension ratio and the smoothness of winding process cannot be ensured. Aiming at the problem of tension control, this paper first gives a comparatively deep research on the control method and the interaction mechanism of tension, extension ratio, automatic lap and automatic rectification. Then, according to the winding process features, the mechanical device and the mathematical model of tension control system are established respectively. With regard to the characteristics of PID controller and fuzzy controller, the fuzzy self-tuning PID controller is designed. As a result, the variable tension control is realized during the winding and lapping process, and the constant extension ratio is guaranteed. Finally, a sample application is presented for demonstration. By presenting the variable tension control techniques for discontinuous tape winding, the constant extension ratio of tapes is achieved, the consecution and the automation degree of winding process is improved as well. Thus, the quality of wound products is guaranteed.展开更多

文摘The tension leg platform is a typical compliant platform that is connected to the seabed through tension leg tendons.However,it is hard to characterize tension leg tendons due to the complexity of their force and motions as well as the lack of full-scale test methods.We performed a finite element analysis and full-scale four-point bending fatigue tests on tension leg tendons and connectors to study the fatigue properties of the tension leg tendons(made using 36in-X70 steel pipes)used in the Gulf of Mexico.The maximum deflection and the maximum stress of samples under complex loading were estimated through finite element simulation to ensure the testing requirements,including load intensity,load method,load path,and frequency.The maximum equivalent strain and the corresponding position were then determined through testing,which were further compared with simulation results to verify their accuracy and applicability.The maximum strain amplitude from simulations was 761.42με,while the equivalent strain amplitude obtained through tests was 734.90με,which is close to the simulation result.In addition,when the number of fatigue cycles reached 1.055 million,sample damage did not occur.It confirms that the fatigue performance of the tendon steel pipe weld is better than the C1 curve value shown in the DNV RP C203 specification.The proposed full-scale approach to study the fatigue properties of tension leg tendons can provide a reference for domestic engineering design and manufacture of tension leg tendons as well as promote the localization of test equipment.

文摘The rock-concrete interface has a signifcant infuence on the stability of rock-concrete structures in coal mine roadway that are vulnerable to tensile loads.In this study,direct tension tests in combination with laser scanning and acoustic emission techniques were used to study the infuences of loading angle and strength contrast on tensile behavior of rock-concrete interface.Results show that peak strain and tensile strength of granite-concrete specimens are lower than those of granite and concrete.Acoustic emission(AE)characteristic of the granite-concrete specimens difers from that of concrete and granite.With the loading angle increases,peak strain and tensile strength of the granite-concrete specimens increase,and the failure mode varies from the interfacial tensile failure to mixed tensile failure due to the increased contact area and decreased tensile stress applied on the granite-concrete interface.In addition,the accumulative AE counts of the granite-concrete specimen are also signifcantly afected by the loading angle;in particular,when the loading angle is sufciently large,e.g.,55°,the accumulative AE counts sharply increase twice.Diferent strength contrasts between rock and concrete result in diferent failure characteristics of rock-concrete specimens under direct tensile loads.When tensile strength of rock is lower than that of concrete,failure often occurs in the rock section and the tensile strength and peak strain of the rock-concrete specimen is similar to that of rock.By contrast,when the tensile strength of rock is higher than of the concrete,failure appears at the interface,and rock-concrete interface dominates the tensile properties of rock-concrete specimens.The failure mode is dominated by the coupling efect of loading angle and strength contrast.The fndings in this study are helpful in understanding the mechanical behaviour of rock-concrete structures under direct tension and applicable to the design and reinforcement of rock-concrete structures in coal roadway.

文摘The asymmetric creep aging behaviors of a pre-treated Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy under high and low stresses have been investigated for high precision creep age forming application of aluminum integral panels.With the increase of applied stress,the creep strains under the tensile stresses are higher than those of compressive stresses and the asymmetry of creep strain is more obvious.However,the mechanical properties of tensile stress creep aged samples are lower than those of compressive stress creep aged samples.Dislocation density,dislocation moving velocity and the proportion of precipitates directly lead to the asymmetry of creep strain and mechanical properties after tensile-compressive creep aging process.In addition,the tensile and compressive stresses have little effect on the width of the precipitate-free zone(PFZ).It indicates that in the high stress creep age forming process of the pretreated Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy,the tensile stress promotes the dislocation motion to obtain a better creep strain but weakens its mechanical properties compared with the compressive stress.In the field of civil aviation aircraft component manufacturing,the introduction of tension and compression stress asymmetry into the creep constitutive model may improve the accuracy of creep age forming components.

文摘CO_(2)/N_(2) injection in heavy oil reservoirs has been demonstrated to enhance oil recovery(EOR)and facilitate CO_(2) capture,utilization,and storage(CCUS).Interfacial tension(IFT)is a crucial parameter for characterizing oil recovery,but it can be influenced by real-time changes in reservoir pressure and temperature during gas injection.The impact of the CO_(2)/N_(2) ratio on the oil-gas IFT under varying temperature and pressure conditions remains unclear.Therefore,a systematic study was conducted to investigate the effects of multiple parameters on the oil-gas IFT during development processes,and a three-dimensional(3D)database and a regression model of IFT were established using experimental data.The results show that IFT is strongly correlated with density difference,moderately correlated with pressure and CO_(2) proportion,weakly correlated with saturates content and resin content,and nonlinearly correlated with temperature,aromatics content,and asphaltene content,respectively.Moreover,it has been observed that an increase in pressure or CO_(2) proportion can lead to a reduction in IFT.However,the impact of temperature changes on IFT varies across different pressure ranges.We introduce a new parameter,the equivalent interfacial tension pressure during temperature changes(EITP),to characterize this effect and discuss the reasons for the emergence of EITP,providing new insight into optimizing the CO_(2)/N_(2) injection ratio in the reservoir.This study aims to reveal the advantages of oil-gas interface characteristics under the influence of multiple parameters in promoting low-carbon and efficient development of heavy oil reservoirs,and to explore the significance of CO_(2)/N_(2) for enhancing heavy oil recovery.
文摘This study presents a numerical investigation of shallow water wave dynamics with particular emphasis on the role of surface tension.In the absence of surface tension,shallow water waves are primarily driven by gravity and are well described by the classical Boussinesq equation,which incorporates fourth-order dispersion.Under this framework,solitary and shock waves arise through the balance of nonlinearity and gravity-induced dispersion,producing waveforms whose propagation speed,amplitude,and width depend largely on depth and initial disturbance.The resulting dynamics are comparatively smoother,with solitary waves maintaining coherent structures and shock waves displaying gradual transitions.When surface tension is incorporated,however,the dynamics become significantly richer.Surface tension introduces additional sixth-order dispersive terms into the governing equation,extending the classical model to the sixth-order Boussinesq equation.This higher-order dispersion modifies the balance between nonlinearity and dispersion,leading to sharper solitary wave profiles,altered shock structures,and a stronger sensitivity of wave stability to parametric variations.Surface tension effects also change the scaling laws for wave amplitude and velocity,producing conditions where solitary waves can narrow while maintaining large amplitudes,or where shock fronts steepen more rapidly compared to the tension-free case.These differences highlight how capillary forces,though often neglected in macroscopic wave studies,play a fundamental role in shaping dynamics at smaller scales or in systems with strong fluid–interface interactions.The analysis in this work is carried out using the Laplace-Adomian Decomposition Method(LADM),chosen for its efficiency and accuracy in solving high-order nonlinear partial differential equations.The numerical scheme successfully recovers both solitary and shock wave solutions under the sixth-order model,with error analysis confirming remarkably low numerical deviations.These results underscore the robustness of the method while demonstrating the profound contrast between shallow water wave dynamics without and with surface tension.

文摘Tension Leg Platform(TLP)in deepwater oil and gas field development usually consists of a hull,tendons,and top tension risers(TTRs).To maintain its top tension,each TTR is connected with a tensioner system to the hull.Owing to the complicated configuration of the tensioners,the hull and TTRs form a strong coupled system.Traditionally,some simplified tensioner models are applied to analyze the TLP structures.There is a large discrepancy between their analysis results and the actual mechanism behaviors of a tensioner.It is very necessary to develop a more detailed tensioner model to consider the coupling effects between TLP and TTRs.In the present study,a fully coupled TLP hull-TTR system for hydrodynamic numerical simulation is established.A specific hydraulic pneumatic tensioner is modeled by considering 4 cylinders.The production TTR model is stacked up by specific riser joints.The simulation is also extended to analyze an array of TTRs.Different regular and irregular waves are considered.The behaviors of different cylinders are presented.The results show that it is important to consider the specific configurations of the tensioner and TTRs,which may lead to obviously different response behaviors,compared with those from a simplified model.

文摘A finite-element model of the thermosetting epoxy asphalt mixture（EAM） microstructure is developed to simulate the indirect tension test（IDT）.Image techniques are used to capture the EAM microstructure which is divided into two phases：aggregates and mastic.A viscoelastic constitutive relationship,which is obtained from the results of a creep test,is used to represent the mastic phase at intermittent temperatures.Model simulation results of the stiffness modulus in IDT compare favorably with experimental data.Different loading directions and velocities are employed in order to account for their influence on the modulus and the localized stress of the microstructure model.It is pointed out that the modulus is not consistent when the loading direction changes since the heterogeneous distribution of the mixture internal structure,and the loading velocity affects the localized stress as a result of the viscoelasticity of the mastic.The study results can provide a theoretical basis for the finite-element method,which can be extended to the numerical simulations of asphalt mixture micromechanical behavior.

文摘In this article, following a brief introduction concerning experimental measurements of surface and interfacial tensions, methods for calculating surface tension and surface segregation for binary, ternary, and multicomponent high-temperature melts based on Bulter＇s original treatment [ 1] and on available physical properties and thermodynamic data, especially excess Gibbs free energies of bulk phase and surface phase versus temperature obtained from thermodynamic databases using the calculation of phase diagram （CALPHAD） approach, with special attention to the model parameter β, have been described. In addition, the geometric models can be extended to predict surface tensions of multicom- ponent systems from those of sub-binary systems. For illustration, some calculated examples, including Pb-free soldering systems and phase-diagram evaluation of binary alloys in nanoparticle systems are given. On the basis of surface tensions of high-temperature melts, interracial tensions between liquid alloy and molten slag as well as molten slag and molten matter can be calculated using the Girifalco-Good equation [2]. Modifications are suggested in the Nishizawa＇s model [3] for estimation of interracial tension in liquid metal （A）/ceramics （MX） systems so that the calculations can be carried out based on the sublattice model and thermodynamic data, without deliberately differentiating the phase of MX at high temperature. Finally, the derivation of an approximate expression for predicting interfacial tension between the high-temperature multicomponent melts, employing Becker＇s model [4] in conjunction with Bulter＇s equation and inteffacial tension data of the simple systems is described, and some examples concerning pyrometallurgical systems are given for better understanding.

文摘Aiming at the process of smelting ultra-high(>80%)or even full vanadium titanomagnetite in blast furnace,we are conducting a series of works on physics character of high TiO_(2) bearing blast furnace slag(BFS)for slag optimization.This work discussed the density and surface tension of high TiO_(2) bearing BFS using the Archimedean principle and the maximum bubble pressure method,respectively.The influence of TiO_(2) content and the MgO/CaO mass ratio on the density and surface tension of CaO-SiO_(2)-TiO_(2)-MgO-Al_(2)O_(3)slags were investigated Results indicated that the density of slags decreased with the TiO_(2) content increasing from 20wt%to 30wt%,but it increased slightly with the MgO/CaO mass ratio increasing from 0.32 to 0.73.In view of silicate network structure,the density and the degree of polymerization(DOP)of network structure have a consistent trend.The addition of TiO_(2) reduced(Q^(3))^(2)/(Q^(2)) ratio(Q^(2) and Q^(3) represent structural unit with bridge oxygen number of 2 and 3,respectively)and then decreased DOP,which led to the decrease of slag density.The surface tension of CaO-SiO_(2)-TiO_(2)-MgO-Al_(2)O_(3) slags decreased dramatically with the TiO_(2) content increasing from 20wt%to 30wt%.Conversely,it increased with the MgO/CaO mass ratio increasing from 0.32 to 0.73.Furthermore,the iso-surface tension lines were obtained under 1723 K using the Tanaka developed model in view of Butler formula.It may be useful for slag optimization of ultra-high proportion(>80%)or even full vanadium titanomagnetite under BF smelting.

文摘Discontinuous tape winding, which has obvious advantages in large extension ratio winding, is widely used in the molding of composites. Therefore, the research on technological parameters becomes the focus of many scholars. However, how to accomplish the variable tension control is usually not fully considered. Accordingly, the constant extension ratio and the smoothness of winding process cannot be ensured. Aiming at the problem of tension control, this paper first gives a comparatively deep research on the control method and the interaction mechanism of tension, extension ratio, automatic lap and automatic rectification. Then, according to the winding process features, the mechanical device and the mathematical model of tension control system are established respectively. With regard to the characteristics of PID controller and fuzzy controller, the fuzzy self-tuning PID controller is designed. As a result, the variable tension control is realized during the winding and lapping process, and the constant extension ratio is guaranteed. Finally, a sample application is presented for demonstration. By presenting the variable tension control techniques for discontinuous tape winding, the constant extension ratio of tapes is achieved, the consecution and the automation degree of winding process is improved as well. Thus, the quality of wound products is guaranteed.
