The modified reaction acceleration method is adopted and validated in the three-dimensional model. Seven ground motions are selected and the peak ground acceleration is adjusted to 0.2 g, 0.4 g and 0.6 g. The impact of the void ratio and thickness of the porous shock absorption layer is studied, while the surrounding rock grade and tunnel depth are also investigated. The numerical results show that the porous shock absorption layer has good shock absorption performance and can effectively reduce the maximum internal force of the secondary lining, but it cannot reduce the maximum horizontal relative displacement of the secondary lining. The circumferential rubber strip in the porous shock absorption layer will reduce shock absorption performance. The results of parameter analysis indicate that the shock absorption performance of the porous shock absorption layer increases with the increase of the void ratio and thickness, and it has good shock absorption performance under different surrounding rock grades and tunnel depths.展开更多

This paper reports the experimental and numerical approaches and results of an investigation on the mechanisms that enable the improved ballistic performance of spaced multi-ply systems. Penetration tests were performed over a range of impact velocities ranging from 200 m/s to 400 m/s. The results confirmed that the ply gap is beneficial to the energy absorption capability of the systems. This is because the front plies tend to absorb more energy when they are not immediately constrained by the rear plies. During a ballistic event, the gap relieves the reflection of the compressive pulse, prolonging the projectile engagement time with the front plies;on the other hand, the rear plies become increasingly less active in dissipating energy as the gap increases.When the gap is sufficiently widened to avoid any interference between the plies before the failure of the front ply, the responses of the whole system no longer vary. It was also found that the ballistic performance of the spaced systems is influenced by ply thickness, impact velocity, and the stacking order of the ply gap.展开更多

As the inclination angle is increased,there is an increase in the overall and grade removal efficiency. As the front baffle inclination angle or pressure drop is increased,there is an increase in the overall and grade removal efficiencies.However,pressure drop affects energy consumption. Front baffle inclination angle and pressure drop are optimized. Optimal inclination angle and pressure drop are 105° and 2 300 Pa respectively. Sample machine is made and measured,which further verifies the appropriateness of numerical simulation and practicability of optimum strategy.展开更多

The absorption of Hdber and Ber in rat small intestine was measured by in situ perfusion. High performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） was used to determine the concentrations of Hdber and Ber. In situ perfusion method was also used to study the effects of Hdber and Ber on sugar intestinal absorption. Glucose oxidase method and UV spectrophotometry were applied to examine the concentrations of glucose and sucrose in the perfusion fluid. The results showed that the absorption rate of Ber in the small intestine was lower than I0%, but that of Hdber was larger than 70%. Both Hdber and Ber inhibited the absorption of glucose and sucrose at the doses of 10 and 20 ~tg/mL. However, Hdber presented stronger activity than Bet （P〈0.01）. It is suggested that Hdber is ab- sorbed easily in rat small intestine and that its inhibitory effect on the absorption of sugar is better than Ber.展开更多

文摘In this study,flower-like MoS2 constructed by nanosheets was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method.The hydrothermal process was optimized and the effects of hydrothermal condition,including reaction temperature,reaction time and the ratio of Mo source to S source(Mo:S)in precursor,on microwave absorption performances and dielectric properties were investigated.Our results showed that when the reaction temperature was 180℃,the reaction time was 18 h,and the Mo:S was 1:3.5,the synthesized MoS2 had the best performance:Its minimum reflection loss could reach-55.78 dB,and the corresponding matching thickness was 2.30 mm with a wide effective bandwidth of 5.17 GHz.Further researches on the microwave absorption mechanism revealed that in addition to the destructive interference of electromagnetic waves,various polarization phenomena such as defect dipole polarization were the main reasons for microwave loss.We believe that MoS2 is a candidate for a practical microwave absorbent.

文摘It has been reported that the ply gap influences the ballistic resistance of spaced multi-ply fabric systems,but its working mechanism was not well-understood. This paper reports the experimental and numerical approaches and results of an investigation on the mechanisms that enable the improved ballistic performance of spaced multi-ply systems. Penetration tests were performed over a range of impact velocities ranging from 200 m/s to 400 m/s. The results confirmed that the ply gap is beneficial to the energy absorption capability of the systems. This is because the front plies tend to absorb more energy when they are not immediately constrained by the rear plies. During a ballistic event, the gap relieves the reflection of the compressive pulse, prolonging the projectile engagement time with the front plies;on the other hand, the rear plies become increasingly less active in dissipating energy as the gap increases.When the gap is sufficiently widened to avoid any interference between the plies before the failure of the front ply, the responses of the whole system no longer vary. It was also found that the ballistic performance of the spaced systems is influenced by ply thickness, impact velocity, and the stacking order of the ply gap.

文摘In order to improve the dust absorption performance of the reverse blowing pickup mouth, the gas-solid flow motion properties inside the reverse blowing pickup mouth were simulated by using computational fluid dynamics( CFD) software,Fluent.The results show that both the front baffle inclination angle and the pressure drop across the pickup mouth have significant impacts on dust absorption performance. As the inclination angle is increased,there is an increase in the overall and grade removal efficiency. As the front baffle inclination angle or pressure drop is increased,there is an increase in the overall and grade removal efficiencies.However,pressure drop affects energy consumption. Front baffle inclination angle and pressure drop are optimized. Optimal inclination angle and pressure drop are 105° and 2 300 Pa respectively. Sample machine is made and measured,which further verifies the appropriateness of numerical simulation and practicability of optimum strategy.

文摘Whereas hollow composites present some superiorities like abundant micro interfaces,outstanding impedance matching as the responses of electromagnetic wave(EMW),but versatile designs including crystal transformation,heterogeneous structures and magnetic exchange coupling to further contribution are even not designed or stressed together in previous literatures.In this article,rational design on the hollow CoFe_(2)O_(4)/CoFe@C architecture has been conducted by a sequential process of self-sacrifice by combustion,in-suit polymerization and calcination.Results of morphology observation exhibit that heterogeneous CoFe_(2)O_(4)/CoFe@C composites were generated via crystal transformation from CoFe_(2)O_(4) to CoFe alloys with encapsulated carbon,together with ultimate growth of crystal particles.As for three carbon-based architectures,relatively low-graphitization carbon layers are favorable for enhancing impedance matching and polarization relaxation,but suppressing the conductive loss essentially.Moderate carbon content endows sample S2 with the maximum magnetic saturation(Ms)of 152.4 emu g^(-1).The optimized RL of sample S3 is up to-51 dB with 30 wt%loading,and the effective absorption band(EAB)is of 5.9 GHz at the thickness of 2.17 mm,while 6.0 GHz can be reached at 2.5 mm.Therefore,this hollow multi-interfaces design definitely shed light on novel structure for new excellent absorbers.

文摘In this work,porous carbon particles were prepared from wheat flour by pyrolysis and activation.Through the subsequent coprecipitation and electroless plating,the surface and pores of carbon particles were modified by nickel-rich particles with different morphologies.Several loss mechanisms,including dielectric loss,magnetic loss,multiple reflection and scattering loss,were used to assess the attenuation ability to incident electromagnetic waves of these composite particles.The result shows that the chain-shaped morphology of nickel can provide the highest dielectric loss.Under the filler loading of 20 wt.%,the minimum reflection loss(RL min)reached-38.42 dB at 13.2 GHz,and the_(max)imum effective absorption bandwidth(EAB_(max))was 5.2 GHz with a matching thickness of 2 mm.The excellent performance of the composite particles is attributed to the synergistic effect of outstanding impedance matching and supe-rior electromagnetic loss ability caused by the chain structure.The result shows that the morphology of modifiers in carbon-based composites is important to improve microwave absorption performance,and this work provides inspiration for the design of high-performance porous carbon-based composites.

文摘With the increasing complexity of the current electromagnetic environment,excessive microwave radi-ation not only does harm to human health but also forms various electromagnetic interference to so-phisticated electronic instruments.Therefore,the design and preparation of electromagnetic absorbing composites represent an efficient approach to mitigate the current hazards of electromagnetic radiation.However,traditional electromagnetic absorbers are difficult to satisfy the demands of actual utilization in the face of new challenges,and emerging absorbents have garnered increasing attention due to their structure and performance-based advantages.In this review,several emerging composites of Mxene-based,biochar-based,chiral,and heat-resisting are discussed in detail,including their synthetic strategy,structural superiority and regulation method,and final optimization of electromagnetic absorption ca-pacity.These insights provide a comprehensive reference for the future development of new-generation electromagnetic-wave absorption composites.Moreover,the potential development directions of these emerging absorbers have been proposed as well.
文摘A part load operation by turning the burner on and off intermittently is effective for a small scale direct fired absorption chiller. The dynamic performance of the system has been investigated. The relationship between pressure, temperature and concentration of the lithium bromide solution have been analyzed. The result obtained indicates that the pressure of the high pressure generator and the temperature of the exhausted smoke are the most sensitive parameters. It is also found that the transition time from a full load to a part load condition is quite long, and part load relative cooling capacity is almost near the intermittent running time ratio and oil consumption ratio.
文摘In this study, performance assessment of absorption refrigeration cycle has been carried out under variable power sources namely electric, conventional fuel and renewable energy sources. The ammonia-water absorption cycle was used in this work, the temperatures at each point in the cycle such as generator, absorber, evaporator and condenser have been measured and with using absorption device system. The coefficient of performance and efficiency of the plant were measured and then compared. The results showed that when the cycle driven by electricity, the coefficient of performance varied 0.694 to 1.032 along the test time and the generator temperature changes from 48.1°C to 101.5°C with the average efficiency of 57.1% and average coefficient of performance of 0.78. When methane used as a fuel to generate power the coefficient of performance varied between 0.686 and 0.94 under the generator temperature of 123.3°C and 127.4°C and average efficiency of 40.02% with coefficient of performance of 0.735. Solar energy used as the alternative source of power which is the clean and safe power source and when the plant driven by the solar thermal energy, the coefficient of performance reached to 0.801 under the generator temperature of 91°C, but the system efficiency about 11.68% along the test time. Solar energy can be used efficiently and replaced the conventional power sources to drive the absorption refrigeration unit.

文摘P2-type layered transition-metal oxides with high energy density and rich variety have attracted extensive attention for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)in grid-scale energy storage application,but they usually suffer from sluggish kinetics and large volume change upon cycling.Herein,we designed a highperformance P2-type Na_(0.67)Ni_(0.31)Mn_(0.67)Mo_(0.02)O_(2)(NNMMO)cathode with regulated electronic environment and Na^(+)zigzag ordering modulation via high-valence Mo6+stabilization engineering.The achieved NNMMO cathode exhibits a high-rate capability with a reversible capacity of 77.2 m Ah/g at 10 C and a long cycle life with a capacity retention of 75%at 2 C after 1000 cycles.In addition,in situ X-ray diffraction and ex-situ X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy characterizations verify that the presence of Mo^(6+)also stabilizes the desodiated structure through a pinning effect,achieving an extremely low volume change of 1.04%upon Na^(+)extraction.The quantified diffusional analysis and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the Mo^(6+)-doping improves the Na+diffusion kinetics,optimizes the energy band structure and enhances the TM-O bond strength.Additionally,the as-fabricated pouch cells by paring NNMMO cathode and hard carbon anode show impressive cycling stability with an energy density of 296.7 Wh/kg.This study broadens the perspective for high-valence metal ion doping to obtain superior cathode materials and pave the way for developing high-energy-density SIBs.

文摘Background Cetobacterium somerae,a symbiotic microorganism resident in various fish intestines,is recognized for its beneficial effects on fish gut health.However,the mechanisms underlying the effects of C.somerae on gut health remain unclear.In this experiment,we investigated the influence of C.somerae(CGMCC No.28843)on the growth performance,intestinal digestive and absorptive capacity,and intestinal structural integrity of juvenile grass carp(Ctenopharyngodon idella)and explored its potential mechanisms.Methods A cohort of 2,160 juvenile grass carp with an initial mean body weight of 11.30±0.01 g were randomly allocated into 6 treatment groups,each comprising 6 replicates(60 fish per replicate).The experimental diets were supplemented with C.somerae at graded levels of 0.00(control),0.68×10^(9),1.35×10^(9),2.04×10^(9),2.70×10^(9),and 3.40×10^(9)cells/kg feed.Following a 10-week experimental period,biological samples were collected for subsequent analyses.Results Dietary supplementation with C.somerae at 1.35×10^(9)cells/kg significantly enhanced growth performance,intestinal development,and nutrient retention rate in juvenile grass carp(P<0.05).The treatment resulted in increased intestinal acetic acid concentration and enhanced activities of digestive enzymes and brush border enzymes(P<0.05).Furthermore,it reduced intestinal permeability(P<0.05),preserved tight junctions(TJ)ultrastructural integrity,and increased the expression of TJ and adherens junctions(AJ)biomarkers at both protein and transcriptional levels(P<0.05).Mechanistically,these effects may be correlated with enhanced antioxidant capacity and coordinated modulation of the RhoA/ROCK,Sirt1,and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways.The appropriate supplementation levels,based on weight gain rate,feed conversion ratio,the activity of serum diamine oxidase and the content of lipopolysaccharide,were 1.27×10^(9),1.27×10^(9),1.34×10^(9)and 1.34×10^(9)cells/kg,respectively.Conclusions C.somerae improved intestinal digestive and absorptive capacity of juvenile grass carp,maintained intestinal structural integrity,and thus promoted their growth and development.This work demonstrates the potential of C.somerae as a probiotic for aquatic animals and provides a theoretical basis for its utilization in aquaculture.

文摘The intestinal absorption ofberberine （Ber） and its structural modified compound 8-hydroxy dihydroberberine （Hdber） was compared, and their effects on the intestinal absorption of sugar by per- fusion experiment were investigated in order to reveal the mechanism of low dose and high activity of Hdber in the treatment of hyperglycemia. The absorption of Hdber and Ber in rat small intestine was measured by in situ perfusion. High performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） was used to determine the concentrations of Hdber and Ber. In situ perfusion method was also used to study the effects of Hdber and Ber on sugar intestinal absorption. Glucose oxidase method and UV spectrophotometry were applied to examine the concentrations of glucose and sucrose in the perfusion fluid. The results showed that the absorption rate of Ber in the small intestine was lower than I0%, but that of Hdber was larger than 70%. Both Hdber and Ber inhibited the absorption of glucose and sucrose at the doses of 10 and 20 ~tg/mL. However, Hdber presented stronger activity than Bet （P〈0.01）. It is suggested that Hdber is ab- sorbed easily in rat small intestine and that its inhibitory effect on the absorption of sugar is better than Ber.
