In the experiment the compression was from one direction with basement shortening and the initial surfaces of the model were oblique. The results show that if the initial surface was horizontal or the slope angle was smaller than 7°, the compression induced two groups of thrusts with opposite dip orientations. If the slope angle of the initial surface was greater than 7°, the compression induced only one group of thrusts with a dip orientation contrary to the original compression direction. This result is similar to the actual section of a collision zone between two continental blocks. By applying stress analysis, rock strength is shown to be an important factor in deformation. As other boundary conditions are changeless, it is the change of gravitational potential energy that leads to different deformation styles.展开更多

Among the DTC architecture, model-based thrust estimation method has less arithmetic consumption and better real-time performance. In this paper,a direct thrust controller design approach for gas turbine engine based on parameter dependent model is proposed. In order to ensure the stability of DTC control system based on parameter dependent model, there are usually conservatism detects. For the purpose of reducing the conservatism in the solution process of filter and controller, an Equilibrium Manifold Expansion(EME) model with bounded parameter variation of engine is established. The design conditions of Kalman filter for discrete-time EME system are introduced, and the proposed conditions have a certain suppression effect on the input noise of the system with bounded parameter variation.The engine thrust estimator stability and H∞filtering problems are solved by the polytopic quadratic Lyapunov function based on the Linear Matrix Inequalities(LMIs). To meet the performance requirements of thrust control, the Grey Wolf Optimization(GWO) algorithm is applied to optimize the PID control parameters. The proposed method is verified on a Hardware-in-Loop(HIL) platform. The simulation results demonstrate that the DTC framework can ensure the stability of engine closed-loop system in large range deviation tests. The filter and controller solution method considering the parameter variation boundary can obtain a solution that makes the system have better performance parameters. Moreover, the proposed filter has better thrust estimation performance than the traditional Kalman filter under the condition of sensor noise. Compared with Augmented Linear Quadratic Regulator(ALQR) controller, the PID controller optimized by GWO has a faster response in simulation.展开更多

文摘Accurate thrust assessment is crucial for characterizing the performance of micro-thrusters.This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of the thrust generated by a needle-type indium field emission electric propulsion(In-FEEP)micro-thruster using three methods based on a pendulum:direct thrust measurement,indirect plume momentum transfer and beam current diagnostics.The experimental setup utilized capacitive displacement sensors for force detection and a voice coil motor as a feedback actuator,achieving a resolution better than 0.1μN.Key performance factors such as ionization and plume divergence of ejected charged particles were also examined.The study reveals that the high applied voltage induces significant electrostatic interference,becoming the dominant source of error in direct thrust measurements.Beam current diagnostics and indirect plume momentum measurements were conducted simultaneously,showing strong agreement within a deviation of less than 0.2N across the operational thrust range.The results from all three methods are consistent within the error margins,verifying the reliability of the indirect measurement approach and the theoretical thrust model based on the electrical parameters of In-FEEP.

文摘The characteristics of flow and thrust evolution of an annular Expansion-Deflection(ED)nozzle are numerically investigated under varying backpressure changing rates during ascending and descending trajectories.The objective is to test the sensitivity of unsteady behaviors of shock waves in the ED nozzle to backpressure changing rate,and to further elucidate the thrust evolution mechanism and mode transition hysteresis.The movement of shock reflection points on the nozzle wall follows two flow mechanisms,namely,shock self-excited oscillations and rapid backpressure changes.A low backpressure changing rate enables shock self-excited oscillations,leading to a reciprocating motion of the shock waves accompanied by thrust oscillations,while a high backpressure changing rate suppresses the shock self-excited oscillations,leading to a unidirectional motion of the wave system on the nozzle shroud wall.A criterion for distinguishing ED nozzle operation modes is proposed,which relies on the loading inflection points of the nozzle pintle base and exhibits a fast and user-friendly feature.A dual-wake mode hysteresis region is defined to quantify the hysteresis in nozzle mode transition,with the span of the region decreasing as the backpressure changing rate slows down.The present work helps in understanding the unsteady flow mechanism and thrust evolution in ED nozzles.

文摘This paper proposes a novel impulsive thrust strategy guided by optimal continuous thrust strategy to address two-player orbital pursuit-evasion game under impulsive thrust control.The strategy seeks to enhance the interpretability of impulsive thrust strategy by integrating it within the framework of differential game in traditional continuous systems.First,this paper introduces an impulse-like constraint,with periodical changes in thrust amplitude,to characterize the impulsive thrust control.Then,the game with the impulse-like constraint is converted into the two-point boundary value problem,which is solved by the combined shooting and deep learning method proposed in this paper.Deep learning and numerical optimization are employed to obtain the guesses for unknown terminal adjoint variables and the game terminal time.Subsequently,the accurate values are solved by the shooting method to yield the optimal continuous thrust strategy with the impulse-like constraint.Finally,the shooting method is iteratively employed at each impulse decision moment to derive the impulsive thrust strategy guided by the optimal continuous thrust strategy.Numerical examples demonstrate the convergence of the combined shooting and deep learning method,even if the strongly nonlinear impulse-like constraint is introduced.The effect of the impulsive thrust strategy guided by the optimal continuous thrust strategy is also discussed.

文摘Controversy is ongoing regarding the relationship between ore formation and the structural evolution of the Hadamengou gold deposit.To address this issue,we conducted a comprehensive investigation of mineralization-related structures,geochronology and Fe isotopes.From the perspective of spatial evolution,hydrothermal fluids originating from the Shadegai and Xishadegai plutons have extracted accumulated ore-forming elements from the Wulashan Group(Ar2WL)and then evolved,initiating at Exploration Line 11 and migrating eastwards and westwards along the EW-trending thrust fault system to form orebodies.From the temporal evolution standpoint,the Wulashan Group(Ar_(2)WL)experienced diagenesis(2591.00 Ma to 2204.00 Ma)and metamorphism(2074.00 Ma to 1625.00 Ma)from late Neoarchean to early Paleoproterozoic,when ore-forming materials were initially accumulated;in the early Paleozoic(440.71 Ma to 425.00 Ma),the collision led to the formation of early-stage EW-trending imbricated thrust faults,which established a fundamental structural framework for the orefield and further accumulated ore-forming materials;from the late Paleozoic to the Mesozoic,multiple subsequent episodes of regional tectonic-magmatic-hydrothermal events have superimposed,modified and reactivated the thrust fault system.Notably,the Triassic period,particularly between 245.00 Ma and 217.90 Ma,is considered to be a primary ore-forming stage.In summary,the intricate relationship between ore-formation and structural evolution has been fundamentally elucidated.

文摘Accurately forecasting the operational performance of a tunnel boring machine(TBM)in advance is useful for making timely adjustments to boring parameters,thereby enhancing overall boring efficiency.In this study,we used the Informer model to predict a critical performance parameter of the TBM,namely thrust.Leveraging data from the Guangzhou Metro Line 22 project on the big data platform in China,the model’s performance was validated,while data from Line 18 were used to assess its generalization capability.Results revealed that the Informer model surpasses random forest(RF),extreme gradient boosting(XGB),support vector regression(SVR),k-nearest neighbors(KNN),back propagation(BP),and long short-term memory(LSTM)models in both prediction accuracy and generalization performance.In addition,the optimal input lengths for maximizing accuracy in the single-time-step output model are within the range of 8–24,while for the multiple-time-step output model,the optimal input length is 8.Furthermore,the last predicted value in the case of multiple-time-step outputs showed the highest accuracy.It was also found that relaxation of the Pearson analysis method metrics to 0.95 improved the performance of the model.Finally,the prediction results were most affected by earth pressure,rotation speed,torque,boring speed,and the surrounding rock grade.The model can provide useful guidance for constructors when adjusting TBM operation parameters.

文摘Strong tectonic activities and diagenetic evolution encourage the development of natural fractures as typical features in deep tight sandstone reservoirs of foreland thrust belts.This study focused on the Jurassic in the southern Junggar Basin to comprehensively analyze the fracture characteristics and differential distribution and,ultimately,addressed the controlling mechanisms of tectonism and diagenesis on fracture effectiveness.Results revealed that the intensity of tectonic activities determines the complexity of tectonic fracture systems to create various fracture orientations when they have been stronger.The intense tectonic deformation would impact the stratum occurrence,which results in a wide range of fracture dip angles.Moreover,as the intensity of tectonic activities and deformations weakens,the scale and degree of tectonic fractures would decrease continuously.The control of tectonism on fracture effectiveness is reflected in the notable variations in the filling of multiple group fractures developed during different tectonic activity periods.Fractures formed in the early stages are more likely to be filled with minerals,causing their effectiveness to deteriorate significantly.Additionally,the strong cementation in the diagenetic evolution can cause more fractures to be filled with minerals and become barriers to fluid flow,which is detrimental to fracture effectiveness.However,dissolution is beneficial in improving their effectiveness by increasing fracture aperture and their connectivity to the pores.These insights can refine the development pattern of natural fractures and contribute to revealing the evolutionary mechanisms of fracture effectiveness in deep tight sandstone reservoirs of foreland thrust belts.

文摘Rotating machinery in the aviation industry is increasingly embracing high speeds and miniaturization,and foil dynamic pressure gas bearing has great application value due to its self-lubrication and self-adaptive deformation characteristics.This study explores the interaction mechanism between micro-scale variable-sectional shearing flow with hyper-rotation speeds and a three-layer elastic foil assembly through bidirectional aero-elastic coupling in a Multi-layer Thrust Gas Foil Bearing(MTGFB).The bearing capacity of the MTGFB varies non-linearly with the decrease of gas film clearance,while the collaborative deformation of the three-layer elastic foil assembly can deal with different load conditions.As the load capacity increases,the enhanced dynamic pressure effect causes the top foil to evolve from a single arch to multiple arches.The hydrodynamic effects in the gas film evolve to form multiple segmented wedges with different pitch ratios,while the peak pressure of the gas film always occurs near the vaults of the top foil.As the rotational speed frequency approaches the natural frequency,the resonance of the gas film and elastic foil assembly system occurs,and a phase delay occurs between the pressure pulsation and the vibration of foils.The load capacity of the MTGFB also depends on the elastic moduli of the elastic foil assembly.Increasing the elastic modulus decreases the deformation amplitude of the top foil,whereas it increases those of the backboard and middle foil,increasing the load capacity.

文摘Direct Thrust Control(DTC) is effective in dealing with the mismatch between thrust and rotor speed in traditional engine control. Among the DTC architecture, model-based thrust estimation method has less arithmetic consumption and better real-time performance. In this paper,a direct thrust controller design approach for gas turbine engine based on parameter dependent model is proposed. In order to ensure the stability of DTC control system based on parameter dependent model, there are usually conservatism detects. For the purpose of reducing the conservatism in the solution process of filter and controller, an Equilibrium Manifold Expansion(EME) model with bounded parameter variation of engine is established. The design conditions of Kalman filter for discrete-time EME system are introduced, and the proposed conditions have a certain suppression effect on the input noise of the system with bounded parameter variation.The engine thrust estimator stability and H∞filtering problems are solved by the polytopic quadratic Lyapunov function based on the Linear Matrix Inequalities(LMIs). To meet the performance requirements of thrust control, the Grey Wolf Optimization(GWO) algorithm is applied to optimize the PID control parameters. The proposed method is verified on a Hardware-in-Loop(HIL) platform. The simulation results demonstrate that the DTC framework can ensure the stability of engine closed-loop system in large range deviation tests. The filter and controller solution method considering the parameter variation boundary can obtain a solution that makes the system have better performance parameters. Moreover, the proposed filter has better thrust estimation performance than the traditional Kalman filter under the condition of sensor noise. Compared with Augmented Linear Quadratic Regulator(ALQR) controller, the PID controller optimized by GWO has a faster response in simulation.

文摘Exploring solid propellants for electric thrusters can simplify the propellant storage and supply units in propulsion systems.In this study,polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE),commonly used as a propellant in pulsed plasma thrusters,was embedded in the discharge chamber of a radio frequency ion thruster(RIT-4)to investigate the performance of an ablation-type RIT.Experimental results indicate that PTFE can decompose and ionize stably under plasma ablation within the discharge chamber,producing-C-F-and F-ion clusters that form a stable plasma.By adjusting the length of the PTFE propellant,it was observed that its decomposition rate influences the ion beam current of the thruster.Compared with xenon,PTFE generates an ion plume with a larger divergence angle,ranging from 16.05°to 22.74°at an ion beam current of 25 mA,with a floating potential distribution of 8‒56 V.Assuming that the proportion of neutral gas in the vacuum chamber matches the ion species ratio in the ion plume,thrust,specific impulse and efficiency parameters were calculated for the RIT-4 with embedded PTFE.Under 50 W RF power,the thrust was approximately 1.02 mN,the specific impulse was around 1236 s and the power-to-thrust ratio was approximately 93.14 W/mN.All results indicate that PTFE is a viable propellant for RIT,but the key is to control the rate of decomposition.

文摘For deep prospects in the foreland thrust belt,southern Junggar Basin,NW China,there are uncertainties in factors controlling the structural deformation,distribution of paleo-structures and detachment layers,and distribution of major hydrocarbon source rocks.Based on the latest 3D seismic,gravity-magnetic,and drilling data,together with the results of previous structural physical simulation and discrete element numerical simulation experiments,the spatial distribution of pre-existing paleo-structures and detachment layers in deep strata of southern Junggar Basin were systematically characterized,the structural deformation characteristics and formation mechanisms were analyzed,the distribution patterns of multiple hydrocarbon source rock suites were clarified,and hydrocarbon accumulation features in key zones were reassessed.The exploration targets in deep lower assemblages with possibility of breakthrough were expected.Key results are obtained in three aspects.First,structural deformation is controlled by two-stage paleo-structures and three detachment layers with distinct lateral variations:the Jurassic layer(moderate thickness,wide distribution),the Cretaceous layer(thickest but weak detachment),and the Paleogene layer(thin but long-distance lateral thrusting).Accordingly,a four-layer composite deformation sequence was identified,and the structural genetic model with paleo-bulge controlling zonation by segments laterally and multiple detachment layers controlling sequence vertically.Second,the Permian source rocks show a distribution pattern with narrow trough(west),multiple sags(central),and broad basin(east),which is depicted by combining high-precision gravity-magnetic data and time-frequency electromagnetic data for the first time,and the Jurassic source rocks feature thicker mudstones in the west and rich coals in the east according to the reassessment.Third,two petroleum systems and a four-layer composite hydrocarbon accumulation model are established depending on the structural deformation strength,trap effectiveness and source-trap configuration.The southern Junggar Basin is divided into three segments with ten zones,and a hierarchical exploration strategy is proposed for deep lower assemblages in this region,that is,focusing on five priority zones,expanding to three potential areas,and challenging two high-risk targets.

文摘This study investigates the orbital Target-Attacker-Defender(TAD)game problem in the context of space missions.In this game,the Attacker and the Defender compete for a Target that is unable to maneuver due to its original mission constraints.This paper establishes three TAD game models based on the thrust output capabilities:unconstrained thrust output,thrust constrained by an upper bound,and fixed thrust magnitude.These models are then solved using differential game theory to obtain Nash equilibrium solutions for the game problems,and the correctness and effectiveness of the solution methods are verified through simulations.Furthermore,an analysis of the winning mechanisms of the game is conducted,identifying key factors that influence the game’s outcomes,including weight coefficients in payoffs,the maximum thrust acceleration limit,and the initial game state.Considering the unique characteristics of space missions,a specific focus is given to the analysis of the Defender’s initial states in the hovering formation and in-plane circling formation,revealing overall success patterns for defense strategies from these two formations.In summary,this study provides valuable insights into the control strategies and winning mechanisms of orbital TAD games,deepening our understanding of these games and offering practical guidance to improve success rates in real-world scenarios.

文摘Arch bridges provide significant technical and economic benefits under suitable conditions.In particular,concrete-filled steel tubular(CFST)arch bridges and steel-reinforced concrete(SRC)arch bridges are two types of arch bridges that have gained great economic competitiveness and span growth potential due to advancements in construction technology,engineering materials,and construction equipment over the past 30 years.Under the leadership of the author,two record-breaking arch bridges—that is,the Pingnan Third Bridge(a CFST arch bridge),with a span of 560 m,and the Tian’e Longtan Bridge(an SRC arch bridge),with a span of 600 m—have been built in the past five years,embodying great technological breakthroughs in the construction of these two types of arch bridges.This paper takes these two arch bridges as examples to systematically summarize the latest technological innovations and practices in the construction of CFST arch bridges and SRC arch bridges in China.The technological innovations of CFST arch bridges include cable-stayed fastening-hanging cantilevered assembly methods,new in-tube concrete materials,in-tube concrete pouring techniques,a novel thrust abutment foundation for nonrocky terrain,and measures to reduce the quantity of temporary facilities.The technological innovations of SRC arch bridges involve arch skeleton stiffness selection,the development of encasing concrete materials,encasing concrete pouring,arch rib stress mitigation,and longitudinal reinforcement optimization.To conclude,future research focuses and development directions for these two types of arch bridges are proposed.

文摘This paper proposes an optimal,robust,and efficient guidance scheme for the perturbed minimum-time low-thrust transfer toward the geostationary orbit.The Earth’s oblateness perturbation and shadow are taken into account.It is difficult for a Lyapunov-based or trajectory-tracking guidance method to possess multiple characteristics at the same time,including high guidance optimality,robustness,and onboard computational efficiency.In this work,a concise relationship between the minimum-time transfer problem with orbital averaging and its optimal solution is identified,which reveals that the five averaged initial costates that dominate the optimal thrust direction can be approximately determined by only four initial modified equinoctial orbit elements after a coordinate transformation.Based on this relationship,the optimal averaged trajectories constituting the training dataset are randomly generated around a nominal averaged trajectory.Five polynomial regression models are trained on the training dataset and are regarded as the costate estimators.In the transfer,the spacecraft can obtain the real-time approximate optimal thrust direction by combining the costate estimations provided by the estimators with the current state at any time.Moreover,all these computations onboard are analytical.The simulation results show that the proposed guidance scheme possesses extremely high guidance optimality,robustness,and onboard computational efficiency.

文摘The curve of landslide thrust plays a key role in landslide design.The commonly used transfer coefficient method(TCM)and Morgenstern-Price method(MPM)are analyzed.TCM does not take into account the moment balance between slices.Although MPM considers the moment balance,the calculation is complex,and it does not consider that the force between slices may be less than zero at the back edge of the landslide.The rationality and feasibility of the improved MPM are verified by calculating the landslide stability coefficient and landslide thrust at different reservoir water levels.This paper studies the law of landslide thrust when the reservoir water level changes,and discusses the determination of design thrust,to provide a certain theoretical basis for the design of reservoir landslides.

文摘The Bypass Dual Throat Nozzle(BDTN)is a novel fluidic Thrust Vectoring(TV)nozzle,it switches to TV state by opening the valve in the bypass.To greatly manipulate the BDTN,the dynamic characteristics in the TV starting process should be analyzed.This paper conducts numerical simulations to grasp the variation processes of performances and the flow field evolution of BDTN and Dual Throat Nozzle(DTN).The dynamic responses of TV starting in typical DTN models are investigated at first.Then,the TV starting processes of BDTN in different Nozzle Pressure Ratio(NPR)conditions are simulated,and the valve opening durations(T)are also considered.Before the expected TV direction is achieved in the DTN,the jet is deflected to the opposite direction at the beginning of the dynamic process,which is called the reverse TV phenomenon.However,this phenomenon disappears in the BDTN.The larger injection width of DTN intensifies unsteady oscillations,and the reverse TV phenomenon is strengthened.In the BDTN,T determines the delay degree of performance variations compared to the static results,which is called hysteresis effect.At NPR=10,the hysteresis affects the final stable performance of BDTN.This study analyses the dynamic characteristics in DTN and BDTN,laying a foundation for further design of nozzles and control strategies.
