文摘This study investigates the transient deformation signals associated with the Ludian M6.8 earthquake,which occurred on June 22,2014,in southwestern China,using Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)data.Within the framework of the Kalman filter,the study employs a First-Order Gauss-Markov(FOGM)model to construct and isolate transient deformation signals,extracting the FOGM time series.Principal Component Analysis(PCA)is then applied to decompose the extracted time series and analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of the top two Principal Components(PCs)of the East-West(EW)and North-South(NS)components,revealing their correlation with the Ludian earthquake.Furthermore,a quantitative analysis of the spatial response characteristics of the second Principal Component(PC2)of the EW component and the first Principal Component(PC1)of the NS component is conducted to characterize the spatial evolution pattern of transient deformation.Finally,the spatial distribution of transient deformation signals is compared with the known co-seismic rupture characteristics,providing further evidence that the extracted signals represent real post-seismic deformation rather than noise.The key findings of this study are as follows:1.The PC2 of the EW component and the PC1 of the NS component primarily represent post-seismic transient deformation signals associated with the Ludian earthquake.The post-seismic deformation evolution exhibits two distinct phases:a sustained deformation phase from the earthquake occurrence to early 2016 and a recovery phase starting from early2016,reflecting the time-dependent characteristics of the post-seismic relaxation process.2.In addition to the well-known linear trend and periodic components,the GNSS displacement time series may also contain non-linear periodic components,suggesting that GNSS data are influenced by a combination of crustal dynamics,surface environmental changes,and anthropogenic factors.3.The integration of Kalman filtering and PCA-based dimensionality reduction analysis effectively isolates transient deformation signals and nonlinear periodic signals from complex background noise,enhancing the interpretability of GNSS data.This approach provides a highly efficient data processing method for analyzing earthquake-induced deformation.

文摘Quantitative assessment of microscale slip activities and plastic localizations is essential for understanding the complex deformation mechanisms in crystalline materials.However,few experimental studies have been able to dynamically measure the deformation fields of rapidly evolving slip activities at the microscale.In this study,we used the Sampling Moire?Method(SMM)to directly measure the dynamic deformation fields of slip activities in Nickel-Based Single-Crystal(NBSC)superalloy under in-situ tensile test,and the strain and displacement fields under the evolving microplastic events with intense slip activities around the notch of the NBSC superalloy specimen were obtained for the first time.The dynamic evolution of slip bands was quantitatively characterized through detailed statistical analysis of strains and displacements under different loads.The locations of the initial appearance of slip traces were successfully predicted by the regions of plasticity localization.The results show that the deformation fields exhibit both high spatial and temporal resolutions,enabling the capture of nanometer-scale displacement fields and visualization of the dynamic fluidity of slip accumulation.This method demonstrates the superiority of the dynamic characterization of the plastic deformation field at the microscale and the promise of its application for characterizing the slip activities of various crystalline metals.

文摘A Hybrid Free-Form Deformation(HFFD)method is developed to improve shape preservation in mesh deformation for perforated surfaces,which traditional Free-Form Deformation(FFD)techniques struggle to handle effectively.The proposed method enables high-fidelity parameterized deformation for both flat and curved perforated surfaces while maintaining mesh quality with minimal geometric distortion.To evaluate its effectiveness,comparative studies between HFFD and conventional FFD methods are conducted,demonstrating superior performance in mesh quality and geometric fidelity.The HFFD-based framework is further applied to the Multidisciplinary Design Optimization(MDO)of a double-wall turbine blade leading edge.Results indicate an 11.6%increase in cooling efficiency and a 16.21%reduction in maximum stress.Additionally,compared to traditional geometry-based parameterization in MDO,the HFFD approach improves model processing efficiency by 84.15%and overall optimization efficiency by20.05%.These findings demonstrate HFFD's potential to significantly improve complex engineering design optimization by achieving precise shape preservation and improving computational efficiency.

文摘As emerging two-dimensional(2D)materials,carbides and nitrides(MXenes)could be solid solutions or organized structures made up of multi-atomic layers.With remarkable and adjustable electrical,optical,mechanical,and electrochemical characteristics,MXenes have shown great potential in brain-inspired neuromorphic computing electronics,including neuromorphic gas sensors,pressure sensors and photodetectors.This paper provides a forward-looking review of the research progress regarding MXenes in the neuromorphic sensing domain and discussed the critical challenges that need to be resolved.Key bottlenecks such as insufficient long-term stability under environmental exposure,high costs,scalability limitations in large-scale production,and mechanical mismatch in wearable integration hinder their practical deployment.Furthermore,unresolved issues like interfacial compatibility in heterostructures and energy inefficiency in neu-romorphic signal conversion demand urgent attention.The review offers insights into future research directions enhance the fundamental understanding of MXene properties and promote further integration into neuromorphic computing applications through the convergence with various emerging technologies.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D)multilayer kagome materials hold significant research value for regulating kagome-related physical properties and exploring quantum effects.However,their development is hindered by the scarcity of available material systems,making the identification of novel 2D multilayer kagome candidates particularly important.In this work,three types of 2D materials with trilayer kagome lattices,namely Sc_(6)S_(5)X_(6)(X=Cl,Br,I),are predicted based on first-principles calculations.These 2D materials feature two kagome lattices composed of Sc atoms and one kagome lattice composed of S atoms.Stability analysis indicates that these materials can exist as free-standing 2D materials.Electronic structure calculations reveal that Sc_(6)S_(5)X_(6)are narrow-bandgap semiconductors(0.76–0.95 e V),with their band structures exhibiting flat bands contributed by Sc-based kagome lattices and Dirac band gaps resulting from symmetry breaking.The sulfur-based kagome lattice in the central layer contributes an independent flat band below the Fermi level.Additionally,Sc_(6)S_(5)X_(6)exhibit high carrier mobility,with hole and electron mobilities reaching up to 10^(3)cm^(2)·V^(-1)·s^(-1),indicating potential applications in low-dimensional electronic devices.This work provides an excellent example for the development of novel multilayer 2D kagome materials.

文摘Climate change is causing extensive and quantifiable surface deformation by moving mass in the cryosphere,hydrosphere,atmosphere,and oceans.These deformations can give a great deal of information on the dynamics of the Earth system and interactions between climate processes and solid Earth processes.Global Navigation Satellite Systems(GNSS),Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar(InSAR),satellite gravimetry,and other supplementary techniques have become important tools to be used to monitor and quantify these deformations.The insight of this review is the understanding of the mechanisms that cause deformation on the surface due to climate change,the strengths and weaknesses of the modern geodetic observation methods,and the way in which these geodetic observations are reconciled with the Earth’s response models and climate simulations.Polar,alpine,hydrologically sensitive,and coastal case studies demonstrate that geodesy can be used globally in climate change studies.Although there has been a lot of improvement,there have been many problems in signal separation,data coverage,and uncertainties in models,but new emerging technologies are promising solutions.A combined climate/geodetic observing system will be critical in enhancing long-term monitoring and in further developing the knowledge on how the Earth responds to climate change.

文摘In this study,a 1400 MPa-grade ultra-high-strength steel thin-plate butt-welded joint was selected as the research object,and the joint was fabricated using the metal inert gas(MIG)welding process with ER307Si filler wire.Residual stress distributions were measured via the hole-drilling method,while micro-hardness was assessed using a micro-hardness tester.Simultaneously,both transverse shrinkage and angular distortion of the welded joint were experimentally determined.According to the hardness distribution of the joint,a thermalmetallurgical-mechanical finite element model was developed based on SYSWELD software platform.This model incorporates solid-state phase transformations(SSPT)and softening effect in the HAZ,as well as strain hardening and annealing behaviors in the weld metal.The temperature field,residual stress distribution,and welding deformation of single-pass butt-welded joint were simulated by the developed computational method.The simulation results were validated against experimental measurements,confirming the accuracy and reliability of the proposed computational approach.Furthermore,based on the numerical results,the influence mechanisms of SSPT and material softening on residual stress and deformation were analyzed.The findings indicate that SSPT exhibits considerable influences on the magnitude and distribution of welding residual stress.It reduces the peak longitudinal residual stress from 1620 MPa to 1350 MPa and increases the peak transverse residual stress from 350 MPa to 402 MPa.The results also manifest that the softening effect further reduces the peak longitudinal residual stress by 300 MPa,while exhibits minor effect on transverse residual stress.However,the results show that neither the SSPT nor the softening effect presents obvious influence on welding deformation.

文摘The contact deformation and buckling of elastic rods against rigid surfaces represent a prevalent phenomenon in applications such as oil drilling,arterial stents,and energy harvesting.This has attracted widespread attention from researchers.In this paper,the deformation and buckling behaviors of a circular arch subject to compression by a rigid plate are investigated with a planar elastic rod model that incorporates tension,shearing,and bending.In comparison with the existing models that solely consider the bending energy,the deflection curve,the internal force distribution,and the critical load of the present model show good agreement with the finite element results.Through the dimensional analysis and order-of-magnitude estimation,we examine the factors influencing the critical load.The study reveals that the semi-central angle of the arch has the most significant effect.The dimensionless geometric parameter describing arch slenderness becomes prominent when the semi-central angle is less than 30°,while Poisson's ratio and the cross-sectional shear correction factor exhibit negligible influence.Furthermore,the variation in the proportions of strain energy components during critical buckling is presented with respect to the semi-central angle and the geometric parameter,thereby delineating the applicable ranges of both the original model(OM)and the modified model(MM).

文摘The high-temperature compressive deformation behavior of medium manganese steel using a four-roll reversible rolling mill is investigated,revealing the effects of different Mn contents on the thermal deformation behavior of oxidation products in the alloy.It is found that within the experimental temperature range,the higher the deformation temperature,the better the plasticity of the oxidation products.It was observed that increasing the Mn content refines the grains,enhances the deformation ability of the oxidation products,and improves the flatness of the interfaces.Since(Fe,Mn)O has a similar crystal structure to FeO,the addition of Mn refines the grains of(Fe,Mn)O,causing the deformation to be distributed across more grains under the same deformation amount,and thereby improving its plasticity.At the interface between Fe-Mn alloy oxidation products and the matrix,there exists a spinel-phase solid solution,which can deform together with the oxidation products and the matrix at high temperatures.It was found that with increasing the Mn content,the size and number of pores between the spinel phases increased.First-principles simulation calculations were used to verify this,showing that Mn promotes the generation of vacancies.The greater number of pores in the spinel phase can effectively relieve the compressive stress caused by rolling deformation,thereby improving the deformation capability of the oxidation products at the interface.
文摘Central Sumatra,Indonesia,is historically known for its significant seismic activities,most notably the devastating 1883 earthquake.In this study,we measured the interseismic deformation using continuous GNSS observation data for three years from 2018 to 2021.5.The results show that the derived velocity fields indicate that the Central Sumatra deformation is primarily characterized by crustal strain shortening due to interaction between the India-Australian plate and the Sundaland plate.High strain values are observed along the Sumatran Fault Zone(SFZ),which is characterized by a history of significant seismic activity.Interseismic locking is divided into two segments.Segment A,located in the northern part of Siberut Island has an estimated moment magnitude of MW7.44 with a return period of200 years leading to a potential earthquake magnitude of MW8.98.Segment B in the southern part of Siberut Island has an estimated moment magnitude of MW7.26 with a return period of 200 years,resulting in a potential earthquake magnitude of MW8.79.The findings highlight critical seismic hazard implications,emphasizing the potential for a major earthquake in the Central Sumatra.

文摘This study presents an implicit multiphysics coupling method integrating Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD),the Multiphase Particle-in-Cell(MPPIC)model,and the Finite Element Method(FEM),implemented with OpenFOAM,CalculiX,and preCICE to simulate fluid-particle-structure interactions with large deformations.Mesh motion in the fluid field is handled using the radial basis function(RBF)method.The particle phase is modeled by MPPIC,where fluid-particle interaction is described through momentum exchange,and inter-particle collisions are characterized by collision stress.The structural field is solved by nonlinear FEM to capture large deformations induced by geometric nonlinearity.Coupling among fields is realized through a partitioned,parallel,and non-intrusive iterative strategy,ensuring stable transfer and convergence of interface forces and displacements.Notably,the influence of particles on the structure is not direct but mediated by the fluid,while structural motion directly affects particle dynamics.The results demonstrate that the proposed approach effectively captures multiphysics interaction processes and provides a valuable reference for numerical modeling of coupled fluid-particle-structure systems.
文摘Because of the developed surface of the Triply PeriodicMinimumSurface(TPMS)structures,polylactide(PLA)products with a TPMS structure are thought to be promising bio soluble implants with the potential for targeted drug delivery.For implants,mechanical properties are key performance characteristics,so understanding the deformation and failure mechanisms is essential for selecting the appropriate implant structure.The deformation and fracture processes in PLA samples with different interior architectures have been studied through computer simulation and experimental research.Two TPMS topologies,the Schwarz Diamond and Gyroid architectures,were used for the sample construction by 3D printing.ANSYS software was utilized to simulate compressive deformation.It was found that under the same load,the vonMises stresses in the Gyroid structure are higher than those in the Schwartz Diamond structure,which was associated with the different orientations of the cells in the studied structures in relation to the direction of the loading axis.The deformation process occurs in the local regions of the studied TPMS structures.Maximum von Mises stresses were observed in the vertical parts of the structures oriented along the load direction.It was found that,unlike the Gyroid,the Schwartz Diamond structure contains a frame that forms unique stiffening ribs,which ensures the redistribution of the load under the vertical loading direction.An analysis of the mechanical characteristics of PLA samples with the Schwartz Diamond and Gyroid structures produced by the Fused Deposition Modeling(FDM)method was correlated with computer simulation.The Schwarz Diamond-type structure was shown to have a higher absorption energy than the Gyroid one.A study of the fracture in PLA samples with various cell sizes revealed a particular feature related to the samples’periodic surface topology and the 3D printing process.Scanning electron microscopic(SEM)studies of the samples deformed by compression showed thatwith an increase in the density of the samples,the failure mechanism changes from ductile to quasi-brittle due to the complex participation of both cell deformation and fiber deformation.

文摘Slopes are likely to fail in areas with frequent rainfall and earthquakes.The deformation characteristics of unsaturated slopes subjected to post-rainfall earthquakes are investigated using centrifuge model tests and finite element analyses.Three tests of the slope deformation under earthquake and post-rainfall earthquakes are first studied using image analysis techniques.Then,based on an elastoplastic constitutive model,numerical simulations are carried out using the finite element method and compared with the centrifuge test results.Finally,a parametric study is performed to clarify the effects of antecedent rainfall on earthquake-induced slope deformation.The results show that slope deformation caused by post-rainfall earthquakes differs from that caused by earthquakes without antecedent rainfall.The seepage flow and soil strength of the slope are affected by previous rainfall conditions,such as intensity and duration,which directly influence the slope deformation caused by the subsequent earthquake.Soil displacement and strain become greater and the slip surface is more noticeable during the post-rainfall earthquake of higher intensity.In addition,the time interval between the rainfall and the earthquake has a considerable impact on the detailed characteristics of the slope deformation,and the significant deformation occurs at the time of lowest soil strength when seepage flow reaches the lower part of the slope.Moreover,the repeated intermittent rainfall greatly affects the subsequent earthquake-induced slope deformation,the main characteristics of which are closely related to the changes in saturation and strength of the slope.However,with the prolonged time gap between each round of rainfall,the earthquake-induced slope deformation becomes insignificant.

文摘A multi-stage stress relaxation test was performed on a granodiorite sample to understand the deformation process prior to the macroscopic failure of brittle rocks,as well as the transient response during stress relaxation.Distributed optical fiber sensing was used to measure strains across the sample surface by helically wrapping the single-mode fiber around the cylindrical sample.Close agreement was observed between the circumferential strains obtained from the optical fibers and the extensometer.The reconstructed full-field strain contours show strain heterogeneity from the crack closure phase,and the strains in the later deformation phase are dominantly localized within the former high-strain zone.The Gini coefficient was used to quantify the degree of strain localization and shows an initial increase during the crack closure phase,a decrease during the linear elastic phase,and a subsequent increase during the post-yielding phase.This behavior corresponds to a process of initial localization from an imperfect boundary condition,homogenization,and eventual relocalization prior to the macroscopic failure of the sample.The transient strain rate decay during the stress relaxation phase was quantified using the p-value in the“Omori-like"power law function.A higher initial stress at the onset of relaxation results in a lower p-value,indicating a slower strain rate decay.As the sample approaches macroscopic failure,the lowest p-value shifts from the most damaged zone to adjacent areas,suggesting stress redistribution or crack propagation in deformed crystalline rocks under stress relaxation conditions.

文摘An MW6.0 earthquake struck Jishishan County in Linxia Prefecture,Gansu Province,on December 18,2023.In this research,Sentinel-1A satellite radar observations were used to obtain the field of coseismic deformation of the Jishishan earthquake in 2023,and the geometric and fine slip distribution of the seismogenic fault were inverted using this as a constraint.The results show that the earthquake is characterized by thrust movement.The coseismic slip distribution results show that the maximum slip of this earthquake is 0.3 m.The Coulomb stress distribution shows that the whole section of the southern edge of Lajishan fault,the NWW trending segment of the northern edge of Lajishan fault and its NNW trending segment to the south of the epicenter,the northern edge of the West Qinling fault and the segment to the east of the epicenter of the Daotanghe Linxia fault are under stress loading,which indicates an increase in the potential risk of earthquakes.This research discussed the seismogenic characteristics of earthquakes and the tendency of faults.We speculate that the Jishishan earthquake is the result of the joint action of regional faults and tectonic stress.Based on the observation of seismic data,geodesy,and other geological and geophysical data,we believe that the earthquake was caused by the activation of weak areas under the crust by the local stress from the driving mechanism of the northeast expansion of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.The seismogenic fault of this earthquake is more likely to be northeast dipping under the comprehensive consideration of various factors,which occurred on the concealed fault belonging to the eastern edge of the Jishishan fault zone.

文摘Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)is a key material for marine applications owing to its outstanding self-lubrication and corrosion resistance.However,its long-term performance is compromised by plastic deformation in seawater.In this study,we performed a comparative analysis of the UHMWPE dynamics under seawater and water conditions to investigate the plastic deformation of UHMWPE induced by seawater.The results show that the plastic deformation of UHMWPE is amplified in seawater relative to the water conditions.Under thin fluid conditions,frictional interfaces exhibit a higher interfacial friction force and interaction energy in seawater than in water.Compared to freely diffused water molecules,hydrated ions occupy larger interchain spaces within polyethylene.Furthermore,the diffusion of hydrated ions weakens the interchain interactions,promoting more severe polyethylene chain rearrangement and accelerating seawater-induced plastic deformation in UHMWPE during friction.Furthermore,the diffused seawater accelerated the disentangling of the polyethylene chains and enhanced the orderly orientation distribution of polyethylene.Compared to free water molecules,the water molecules of hydrated ions exhibit enhanced attraction to free-flowing water molecules,thereby accelerating seawater flow across submerged UHMWPE surfaces.This flow enhancement promotes surface polyethylene chain mobility in seawater.
