The proposed equivalent stability criterion, unlike the reported one, does not involve free-weighing matrices and encompass only the matrix variables that are associated in the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, making the criterion mathematically less complex and computationally more effective.展开更多

文摘Achieving high energy and power densities is currently a core challenge in the fabrication of energy storage materials.Although numerous high-capacity materials have been developed,conventional planar electrodes cannot achieve high active material loading and efficient ion/electron transport simultaneously.By contrast,three-dimensional(3D)structures have attracted increasing interest because of their capacity to enhance active material utilization,shorten ion and electron transport pathways,reduce interfacial impedance,and provide spatial accommodation for volume expansion.Additive manufacturing(AM)technology effectively fabricates energy-storage materials with 3D structures by accurately constructing complex 3D structures via layer-by-layer deposition.Recent studies have employed AM to construct ordered 3D electrodes that can optimize ion/electron transport,regulate electric field distribution,or improve the electrode-electrolyte interface,thereby contributing to enhanced kinetic performance and cycling stability.This review systematically summarizes the applications of several AM technologies in the fabrication of energy storage materials and analyzes their respective advantages and limitations.Subsequently,the advantages of AM technology in the fabrication of energy storage materials and several major optimization strategies are comprehensively discussed.Finally,the major challenges and potential applications of AM technology in energy storage material optimization are discussed.

文摘Low-velocity impact tests are carried out to explore the energy absorption characteristics of bio-inspired lattices,mimicking the architecture of the marine sponge organism Euplectella aspergillum.These sea sponge-inspired lattice structures feature a square-grid 2D lattice with double diagonal bracings and are additively manufactured via digital light processing(DLP).The collapse strength and energy absorption capacity of sea sponge lattice structures are evaluated under various impact conditions and are compared to those of their constituent square-grid and double diagonal lattices.This study demonstrates that sea sponge lattices can achieve an 11-fold increase in energy absorption compared to the square-grid lattice,due to the stabilizing effect of the double diagonal bracings prompting the structure to collapse layer-bylayer under impact.By adjusting the thickness ratio in the sea sponge lattice,up to 76.7%increment in energy absorption is attained.It is also shown that sea-sponge lattices outperform well-established energy-absorbing materials of equal weight,such as hexagonal honeycombs,confirming their significant potential for impact mitigation.Additionally,this research highlights the enhancements in energy absorption achieved by adding a small amount(0.015 phr)of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes(MWCNTs)to the photocurable resin,thus unlocking new possibilities for the design of innovative lightweight structures with multifunctional attributes.

文摘The accelerated shift toward high efficiency and sustainability of the iron and steel is driving the advancement of green,low-carbon and high-quality carbon-containing refractories used for ladles.It is undoubtedly a significant challenge,since the addition of graphite enables refractories to possess superior thermal shock resistance and slag corrosion resistance.To develop low carbon-containing refractories with excellent properties,researchers over the past decades have endeavored to seek additives which can mitigate the adverse effects associated with the decrease in carbon in refractories.These additives can promote the occurrence of various mechanisms about toughening,which depends on inherent properties of additives or reacting with refractories to in situ form different ceramic phases,thereby responding the challenge of low-carbonization in refractories.The latest advances in additives used for low carbon-containing refractories from metal/alloys,oxide,non-oxide and composite powders four aspects were comprehensively overviewed in this review.Oxide additives exhibit a moderate effect on improving thermal shock resistance of refractories but show limited efficacy in improving oxidation resistance.In contrast,non-oxide additives demonstrate remarkable advantages in enhancing both oxidation and slag corrosion resistance.Composite powders combine the advantageous properties of their individual components.These additives often require combination with antioxidants such as Al,Si,or B4C not only to reduce costs but also to achieve optimal properties.Furthermore,future perspectives of these additives are discussed,with the aim of providing useful insights for the continuous progress and practical application of low carbon-containing refractories.

文摘Functionally graded cellular structures(FGCSs)have a multitude of applications to a wide range of industries.Utilising the ever-progressing technology of additive manufacturing(AM),FGCSs can be applied to control material grading and achieve the desired mechanical properties.The current study explores the design and optimisation of FGCSs for AM,with a focus on improving the compression and impact performance of below knee(BK)prosthetic limbs made of thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU).A multiscale research methodology integrating topology optimization(TO),finite element analysis(FEA),and design of experiments(Do E)was adopted to optimise lattice structures in terms of stiffness and lightweight properties.Two-unit cell designs were considered in the study:Schwarz P gyroid and body-centered cubic(BCC).Response surface methodology(RSM)was implemented to analyse the effect of minimum and maximum cell wall thickness,cell size,and unit cell type on the mechanical performance of TPU FGCS structures.The results indicated that a Schwarz P FGCS structure with cell size,minimum and maximum cell wall thickness of 6,0.9 and 2.8 mm,respectively,could be optimal for a compromise between performance and weight.In this optimized case,stiffness and volume fraction values of 684 N/mm and 0.64 were obtained,respectively.The study also presents a proof-of-concept design for a BK prosthetic damper,highlighting the potential of FGCSs to enhance patient comfort,reduce manufacturing costs,and enable personalised designs through 3D scanning and AM.The obtained results could be a step forward towards the incorporation of AM technologies in prosthetics,offering a pathway to lightweight,cost-effective,and functionally tailored solutions.

文摘The composite material layering process has attracted considerable attention due to its production advantages,including high scalability and compatibility with a wide range of raw materials.However,changes in process conditions can lead to degradation in layer quality and non-uniformity,highlighting the need for real-time monitoring to improve overall quality and efficiency.In this study,an AI-based monitoring system was developed to evaluate layer width and assess quality in real time.Three deep learning models Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network(R-CNN),You Only Look Once version 8(YOLOv8),and Single Shot MultiBox Detector(SSD)were compared,and YOLOv8 was ultimately selected for its superior speed,flexibility,and scalability.The selected model was integrated into a user-friendly interface.To verify the reliability of the system,bead width control experiments were conducted,which identified feed speed and extrusion speed as the key process parameters.Accordingly,a Central Composite Design(CCD)experimental plan with 13 conditions was applied to evaluate layer width and validate the system’s reliability.Finally,the proposed system was applied to the additive manufacturing of an aerospace component,where it successfully detected bead width deviations during printing and enabled stable fabrication with a maximum geometric deviation of approximately 6 mm.These findings demonstrate the critical role of real-time monitoring of layer width and quality in improving process stability and final product quality in composite material additive manufacturing.

文摘Achieving simultaneous enhancement of crystallinity and optimal domain size remains a fundamental challenge in organic photovoltaics(OPVs),where conventional crystallization strategies often trigger excessive aggregation of small-molecule acceptors.This work pioneers a kinetic paradigm for resolving the crystallinity-domain size trade-off in organic photovoltaics through dual-additive-guided stepwise crystallization.By strategically pairing 1,2-dichlorobenzene(o-DCB,low binding energy to Y6)and 1-fluoronaphthalene(FN,high binding energy),we achieve temporally decoupled crystallization control:o-DCB first mediates donor-acceptor co-crystallization during film formation,constructing a metastable network,whereupon FN induces confined Y6 crystallization within this framework during thermal annealing,refining nanostructure without over-aggregation.Morphology studies reveal that this synergy enhances crystallinity of(100)diffraction peaks by 21%–10%versus single-additive controls(o-DCB/FN alone),while maintaining optimal domain size.These morphological advantages yield balanced carrier transport(μh/μe=1.23),near-unity exciton dissociation(98.53%),and a champion power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 18.08%for PM6:Y6,significantly surpassing single-additive devices(o-DCB:17.20%;FN:17.53%).Crucially,the dual-additive strategy demonstrates universal applicability across diverse active layer systems,achieving an outstanding PCE of 19.27%in PM6:L8-BO-based devices,thereby establishing a general framework for morphology control in high-efficiency OPVs.

文摘In this paper,the as-cast Mg85Cu5Ni10 alloy and Mg85Cu5Ni10-x wt%CeO2(x=0,4,8)alloys were prepared successfully by vacuum induction smelting and ball milling.The microstructure,hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetics and thermodynamics performances of the alloys were studied in detail.The results show that the Mg85Cu5Ni10 alloys with CeO2 additive have faster hydrogenation/dehydrogenation kinetics and better thermodynamic properties.The dehydrogenation activation energy is reduced to 81.211 kJ/mol from 119.142 by adding 8 wt%CeO2.CeO2 contributes to producing structural defects,nanocrystallines,grain boundaries,partial amorphous,lattice dislocations and cracks which are favorable to provide more hydrogen diffusion channels during hydriding/dehydriding process.Meanwhile,CeO2 additive weakens the bond energy of Mg-H.These micro structural changes caused by CeO2 additive improve the hydrogen storage performance of Mg85Cu5Ni10 markedly.

文摘Al–Co–Cr–Fe–Ni high entropy alloy(HEA) system is a newly developed category of metallic materials possessing unique microstructure, mechanical and functional properties, which presents many promising industrial applications. In recent years, additive manufacturing technology has given rise to a great potential for fabricating HEA parts of ultra-fine grains and geometrical complexity, thereby attracting great interest of researchers. Herein, a comprehensive review emphasizes on the recent developments in high-energy beam additive manufacturing of Al–Co–Cr–Fe–Ni HEA, in the aspects of their printing processes, microstructures, properties, defects, and post treatments. The technical characteristics of three typical high-energy beam additive manufacturing technologies for printing HEA, namely, selective laser melting(SLM), selective electron beam melting(SEBM), and directed energy deposition(DED) are systematically summarized. Typical crystal structure, grain, microstructure, as well as corresponding properties of Al–Co–Cr–Fe–Ni HEA manufactured by those technologies are primarily presented and discussed. It also elaborates the formation mechanisms of harmful defects related to the rapid solidification and complex thermal cycle during high-energy beam additive manufacturing. Furthermore, several kinds of post treatments with an aim to improve performance of HEA are illustrated. Finally, future research directions for HEA by additive manufacturing are outlined to tackle current challenges and accelerate their applications in industrial fields.
文摘In this paper, we present a new sufficient condition for absolute stability of Lure system with two additive time-varying delay components. This criterion is expressed as a set of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）, which can be readily tested by using standard numerical software. We use this new criterion to stabilize a class of nonlinear time-delay systems. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the applicability of the results using standard numerical software.
文摘In this correspondence paper, an equivalent stability criterion with minimal number of linear matrix inequality （LMI） variables is presented for a delay-dependent stability criterion reported recently in the International Journal of Automation and Computing for a class of linear discrete-time systems with additive time delays. The reported stability criterion for the additive timedelay systems has more number of matrix variables in the LMI and, hence, demand additional computational burden. The proposed equivalent stability criterion, unlike the reported one, does not involve free-weighing matrices and encompass only the matrix variables that are associated in the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, making the criterion mathematically less complex and computationally more effective.

文摘In this paper the stochastic resonance （SR） is studied in an overdamped linear system driven by multiplicative noise and additive quadratic noise. The exact expressions are obtained for the first two moments and the correlation function by using linear response and the properties of the dichotomous noise. SR phenomenon exhibits in the linear system. There are three different forms of SR： the bona fide SR, the conventional SR and SR in the broad sense. Moreover, the effect of the asymmetry of the multiplicative noise on the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） is different from that of the additive noise and the effect of multiplicative noise and additive noise on SNR is different.
