Until recentl...The geometric and spatial characteristics of pore structures determine the permeability and water retention of soils, which have important effects on soil functional diversity and ecological restoration. Until recently, there have not been tools and methods to visually and quantitatively describe the characteristics of soil pores. To solve this problem, this research reconstructs the geometry and spatial distribution of soil pores by the marching cubes method, texture mapping method and the ray casting method widely used in literature. The objectives were to explore an optimal method for three-dimensional visualization of soil pore structure by comparing the robustness of the three methods on soil CT images with single pore structure and porosity ranging from low (2–5%) to high (12–18%), and to evaluate the reconstruction performance of the three methods with different geometric features. The results demonstrate that there are aliases (jagged edges) and deficiency at the boundaries of the model reconstructed by the marching cubes method and pore volumes are smaller than the ground truth, whereas the results of the texture mapping method lack the details of pore structures. For all the soil images, the ray casting method is preferable since it better preserves the pore characteristics of the ground truth. Furthermore, the ray casting method produced the best soil pore model with higher rendering speed and lower memory consumption. Therefore, the ray casting method provides a more advanced method for visualization of pore structures and provides an optional technique for the study of the transport of moisture and the exchange of air in soil.展开更多

The samples were machined with a radial notched shape and a sloped surface. Both planar surface deformation and sloping surface deformation-induced microvoids were observed during dynamic tension experiments, where a greater amount of information could be obtained from the sloping surface. The results showed that microvoids formed at the grain boundaries of highly elongated large grains. The microvoids nucleated in the severely deformed regions grew nearly parallel to the tensile axis, predominantly along the grain boundaries. The microvoids nucleated at the interface of particles and the matrix did not propagate due to the high plasticity of the matrix. The large microvoids propagated and showed a zigzag shape along the grain boundaries,seemingly a consequence of the fracture of the slip bands caused by dislocation pile-ups. The final failure took place due to the reduction of the load-beating area.展开更多

文摘The core sampling experiments were conducted after hydraulic fracturing in the three-dimensional development zone of Fuling shale gas.Six coring wells of different well types were systematically designed.Based on the integrated engineering technology of post-fracturing drilling,coring and monitoring of shale and the analysis of fracture source tracing,the evaluation of the fracture network after fracturing in the three-dimensional development of shale gas was conducted.The data of core fractures after fracturing indicate that three major types of fractures are formed after fracturing:natural fractures,hydraulic fractures,and fractures induced by external mechanical force,which are further classified into six subcategories:natural structural fractures,natural bedding fractures,hydraulic fractures,hydraulically activated fractures,drilling induced fractures,and fractures induced by core transportation.The forms of the artificial fracture network after fracturing are complex.Hydraulic fractures and hydraulically activated fractures interweave with each other,presenting eight forms of artificial fracture networks,among which the“一”-shaped fracture is the most common,accounting for approximately 70%of the total fractures.When the distance to the fractured wellbore is less than 35 m,the density of the artificial fracture network is relatively high;when it is 35–100 m,the density is lower;and when it is beyond 100 m,the density gradually increases.The results of the fracture tracing in the core sampling area confirm that the current fracturing technology can essentially achieve the differential transformation of the reservoir in the main area of Jiaoshiba block in Fuling.The three-layer three-dimensional development model can efficiently utilize shale gas reserves,although there is still room for improvement in the complexity and propagation uniformity of fractures.It is necessary to further optimize technologies such as close-cutting combined with temporary blocking and deflection within fractures or at fracture mouths,as well as limited flow perforation techniques,to promote the balanced initiation and extension of fractures.

文摘With the continuous development of digital medicine,minimally invasive precision and safety have become the primary development trends in hepatobiliary surgery.Due to the specificity and complexity of hepatobiliary surgery,traditional preoperative imaging techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging cannot meet the need for identification of fine anatomical regions.Imaging-based three-dimensional(3D)reconstruction,virtual simulation of surgery and 3D printing optimize the surgical plan through preoperative assessment,improving the controllability and safety of intraoperative operations,and in difficult-to-reach areas of the posterior and superior liver,assistive robots reproduce the surgeon’s natural movements with stable cameras,reducing natural vibrations.Electromagnetic navigation in abdominal surgery solves the problem of conventional surgery still relying on direct visual observation or preoperative image assessment.We summarize and compare these recent trends in digital medical solutions for the future development and refinement of digital medicine in hepatobiliary surgery.

文摘Drilling and blasting,characterized by their efficiency,ubiquity,and cost-effectiveness,have emerged as predominant techniques in rock excavation;however,they are accompanied by enormous destructive power.Accurately controlling the blasting energy and achieving the directional fracture of a rock mass have become common problems in the field.A two-dimensional blasting(2D blasting)technique was proposed that utilizes the characteristic that the tensile strength of a rock mass is significantly lower than its compressive strength.After blasting,only a 2D crack surface is generated along the predetermined direction,eliminating the damage to the reserved rock mass caused by conventional blasting.However,the interior of a natural rock mass is a"black box",and the process of crack propagation is difficult to capture,resulting in an unclear 2D blasting mechanism.To this end,a single-hole polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA)test piece was used to conduct a 2D blasting experiment with the help of a high-speed camera to capture the dynamic crack propagation process and the digital image correlation(DIC)method to analyze the evolution law of surface strain on the test piece.On this basis,a three-dimensional(3D)finite element model was established based on the progressive failure theory to simulate the stress,strain,damage,and displacement evolution process of the model under 2D blasting.The simulation results were consistent with the experimental results.The research results reveal the 2D blasting mechanism and provide theoretical support for the application of 2D blasting technology in the field of rock excavation.

文摘To improve the human-physical-virtual coordination and integration of the digital twin workshop,3D visual monitoring and human-computer interaction of the digital twin workshop was studied.First,a novel 6D model of the 3D visualization interactive system for digital twin workshops is proposed.As the traditional 5D digital twin model ignores the importance of human-computer interaction,a new dimension of the user terminal was added.A hierarchical real-time data-driven mapping model for the workshop production process is then proposed.Moreover,a real-time data acquisition method for the industrial Internet of things is proposed based on OPC UA(object linking and embedding for process control unified architecture).Based on the 6D model of the system,the process of creating a 3D visualization virtual environment based on virtual reality is introduced,in addition to a data-driven process based on the data management cloud platform.Finally,the 6D model of the system was confirmed using the blade rotor test workshop as the object,and a 3D visualization interactive system is developed.The results show that the system is more transparent,real-time,data-driven and more efficient,as well as promotes the coordination and integration of human-physical-virtual,which has practical significance for developing digital twin workshops.

文摘The geometric and spatial characteristics of pore structures determine the permeability and water retention of soils, which have important effects on soil functional diversity and ecological restoration. Until recently, there have not been tools and methods to visually and quantitatively describe the characteristics of soil pores. To solve this problem, this research reconstructs the geometry and spatial distribution of soil pores by the marching cubes method, texture mapping method and the ray casting method widely used in literature. The objectives were to explore an optimal method for three-dimensional visualization of soil pore structure by comparing the robustness of the three methods on soil CT images with single pore structure and porosity ranging from low (2–5%) to high (12–18%), and to evaluate the reconstruction performance of the three methods with different geometric features. The results demonstrate that there are aliases (jagged edges) and deficiency at the boundaries of the model reconstructed by the marching cubes method and pore volumes are smaller than the ground truth, whereas the results of the texture mapping method lack the details of pore structures. For all the soil images, the ray casting method is preferable since it better preserves the pore characteristics of the ground truth. Furthermore, the ray casting method produced the best soil pore model with higher rendering speed and lower memory consumption. Therefore, the ray casting method provides a more advanced method for visualization of pore structures and provides an optional technique for the study of the transport of moisture and the exchange of air in soil.

文摘BACKGROUND Split liver transplantation(SLT)is a complex procedure.The left-lateral and right tri-segment splits are the most common surgical approaches and are based on the Couinaud liver segmentation theory.Notably,the liver surface following right trisegment splits may exhibit different degrees of ischemic changes related to the destruction of the local portal vein blood flow topology.There is currently no consensus on preoperative evaluation and predictive strategy for hepatic segmental necrosis after SLT.AIM To investigate the application of the topological approach in liver segmentation based on 3D visualization technology in the surgical planning of SLT.METHODS Clinical data of 10 recipients and 5 donors who underwent SLT at Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Before surgery,all the donors were subjected to 3D modeling and evaluation.Based on the 3D-reconstructed models,the liver splitting procedure was simulated using the liver segmentation system described by Couinaud and a blood flow topology liver segmentation(BFTLS)method.In addition,the volume of the liver was also quantified.Statistical indexes mainly included the hepatic vasculature and expected volume of split grafts evaluated by 3D models,the actual liver volume,and the ischemia state of the hepatic segments during the actual surgery.RESULTS Among the 5 cases of split liver surgery,the liver was split into a left-lateral segment and right trisegment in 4 cases,while 1 case was split using the left and right half liver splitting.All operations were successfully implemented according to the preoperative plan.According to Couinaud liver segmentation system and BFTLS methods,the volume of the left lateral segment was 359.00±101.57 mL and 367.75±99.73 mL,respectively,while that measured during the actual surgery was 397.50±37.97 mL.The volume of segment IV(the portion of ischemic liver lobes)allocated to the right tri-segment was 136.31±86.10 mL,as determined using the topological approach to liver segmentation.However,during the actual surgical intervention,ischemia of the right tri-segment section was observed in 4 cases,including 1 case of necrosis and bile leakage,with an ischemic liver volume of 238.7 mL.CONCLUSION 3D visualization technology can guide the preoperative planning of SLT and improve accuracy during the intervention.The simulated operation based on 3D visualization of blood flow topology may be useful to predict the degree of ischemia in the liver segment and provide a reference for determining whether the ischemic liver tissue should be removed during the surgery.
文摘BACKGROUND Recently,medical three-dimensional printing technology(3DPT)has demonstrated potential benefits for the treatment of cubitus varus deformity(CVD)by improving accuracy of the osteotomy through the use of an osteotomy guide,with or without a patient-mated plate.Here,we present an interesting CVD case,involving a patient who was treated with corrective biplanar chevron osteotomy using an innovative customized osteotomy guide and a newly designed patient-matched monoblock crosslink plate created with 3DPT.CASE SUMMARY A 32-year-old female presented with a significant CVD from childhood injury.A computer simulation was processed using images from computerized tomography scans of both upper extremities.The biplanar chevron osteotomy was designed to create identical anatomy between the mirror image of the contralateral distal humerus and the osteotomized distal humerus.Next,the customized osteotomy guide and patient-matched monoblock crosslink plate were designed and printed.A simulation osteotomy was created for the real-sized bone model,and the operation was performed using the posterior paratricipital approach with k-wire positioning from the customized osteotomy guide as a predrilled hole for screw fixation to achieve immediate control of the reduction after osteotomy.Our method allowed for successful treatment of the CVD case,significantly improving the patient’s radiographic and clinical outcomes,with satisfactory result.CONCLUSION 3DPT-created patient-matched osteotomy guide and instrumentation provides accurate control during CVD correction.

Three methods of geologic body’s three-dimensional expression were separately introduced, and the merits of the continuous distributing layer imitating model were proposed as comparing with the divergence three-dimensional millet-seed body model. The three-dimensional cubes were observed from any direction and any tangle with the application of dealing methods such as peeling, hollowing out, transparent or half-transparent.
文摘An improved three-dimensional （3-D） experimental visualization methodology is presented tor evaluating the fracture mechanisms of ferritic stainless steels by in-situ tensile testing with an environmental scanning electron microscope （ESEM）. The samples were machined with a radial notched shape and a sloped surface. Both planar surface deformation and sloping surface deformation-induced microvoids were observed during dynamic tension experiments, where a greater amount of information could be obtained from the sloping surface. The results showed that microvoids formed at the grain boundaries of highly elongated large grains. The microvoids nucleated in the severely deformed regions grew nearly parallel to the tensile axis, predominantly along the grain boundaries. The microvoids nucleated at the interface of particles and the matrix did not propagate due to the high plasticity of the matrix. The large microvoids propagated and showed a zigzag shape along the grain boundaries,seemingly a consequence of the fracture of the slip bands caused by dislocation pile-ups. The final failure took place due to the reduction of the load-beating area.
