Through the electron back- scattered diffraction （EBSD） and X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis technology, it is shown that the subgrain nucle- ation and recrystallization occur in 6016 aluminum alloy during hot compressing, and strong rolling textures such as （110） fiber texture, Brass, S, and Goss form. With the deformation passes increasing, （110） fiber texture, Brass and S are enhanced. In the heat preservation stage after deformation, recrystallization continues until heat preser- vation for 60 s, and a duplex microstructure of deformation and recrystallization grains is built. At the beginning of heat preservation, recrystallization grains with the Goss texture and random orientation are formed in original grains with S or Brass texture, which makes the volume fraction of S and Brass texture decrease. Then, the complex grain growth process makes the volume fraction of Brass, S, and Goss texture increase, while that of random orien- tation decrease.展开更多

To solve this problem, a novel and efficient method is proposed which is featured by extracting only a few necessary curves from the check surface instead of sampling the entire surface. By rotating and compressing the 3 D check surface relative to all tool postures, the boundaries of the area occupied by the 2 D compressed surfaces are the essential elements for determining the shortest tool length. A tracking-based numerical algorithm is introduced to efficiently solve the silhouette curves which are formed in compressing. To define the multi-taper shaped tool holding system(THS) which is commonly used in production, a characterization model for THS profile is established. A model for solving the shortest tool length is finally constructed based on the critical interference relationship between the THS profile and all compressed boundary curves. For acceleration, the boundary splines are segmented according to their knot vectors. Then a new concept called the axis-aligned tool length box(AATB) is introduced,which can provide a conservative range of tool length for a spline segment. By scanning the AATBs of all spline segments, the very few effective spline segments that may ultimately determine the shortest tool length are filtered out. This acceleration method makes the solution for the shortest tool length more focused and efficient. The results of experimental examples are also reported to validate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

文摘An ultrafast electron diffraction technique with both high temporal and spatial resolution has been shown to be a powerful tool to observe the material transient structural change on an atomic scale.The space charge forces in a multi-electron bunch will greatly broaden the electron pulse width,and therefore limit the temporal resolution of the high brightness electron pulse.Here in this work,we design an ultrafast electron diffraction system,and utilize a radio frequency cavity to realize the ultrafast electron pulse compression.We experimentally demonstrate that the stretched electron pulse width of14.98 ps with an electron energy of 40 keV and the electron number of 1.0 ×10;can be maximally compressed to about0.61 ps for single-pulse measurement and 2.48 ps for multi-pulse measurement by using a 3.2-GHz radiofrequency cavity.We also theoretically and experimentally analyze the parameters influencing the electron pulse compression efficiency for single-and multi-pulse measurements by considering radiofrequency field time jitter,electron pulse time jitter and their relative time jitter.We suggest that increasing the electron energy or shortening the distance between the compression cavity and the streak cavity can further improve the electron pulse compression efficiency.These experimental and theoretical results are very helpful for designing the ultrafast electron diffraction experiment equipment and compressing the ultrafast electron pulse width in a future study.
文摘BACKGROUND A large ganglionic cyst extending from the hip joint to the intrapelvic cavity through the sciatic notch is a rare space-occupying lesion associated with compressive lower-extremity neuropathy.A cyst in the pelvic cavity compressing the intrapelvic-sciatic nerve is easily missed in the diagnostic process because it usually presents as atypical symptoms of an extraperitoneal-intrapelvic tumor.We present a case of a huge ganglionic cyst that was successfully excised laparoscopically and endoscopically by a gynecologist and an orthopedic surgeon.CASE SUMMARY A 52-year-old woman visited our hospital complaining of pain and numbness in her left buttock while sitting.The pain began 3 years ago and worsened,while the numbness in the left lower extremity lasted 1 mo.She was diagnosed and unsuccessfully treated at several tertiary referral centers many years ago.Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a suspected paralabral cyst(5 cm×5 cm×4.6 cm)in the left hip joint,extending to the pelvic cavity through the greater sciatic notch.The CA-125 and CA19-9 tumor marker levels were within normal limits.However,the cyst was compressing the sciatic nerve.Accordingly,endoscopic and laparoscopic neural decompression and mass excision were performed simultaneously.A laparoscopic examination revealed a tennis-ball-sized cyst filled with gelatinous liquid,stretching deep into the hip joint.An excisional biopsy performed in the pelvic cavity and deep gluteal space confirmed the accumulation of ganglionic cysts from the hip joint into the extrapelvic intraperitoneal cavity.CONCLUSION Intra-or extra-sciatic nerve-compressing lesion should be considered in cases of sitting pain radiating down the ipsilateral lower extremity.This large juxta-articular ganglionic cyst was successfully treated simultaneously using laparoscopy and arthroscopy.

文摘As a continuation of a recent linear analysis by Mao et al.(Acta Mech Sin,2010,26:355),in this paper we propose a general theoretical formulation for the compressing process in complex Newtonian fluid flows,which covers gas dynamics,aeroacoustics,nonlinear thermoviscous acoustics,viscous shock layer,etc.,as its special branches.The principle on which our formulation is based is the maximally natural and dynamic Helmholtz decomposition of the Navier-Stokes equation,along with the kinematic Helmholtz decomposition of the velocity field.The central results are the new dilatation equation and velocity-potential equation,which are the counterparts of vorticity transport equation and vector stream-function equation for the shearing process,respectively.Various couplings of the compressing process with shearing and thermal processes,including its physical sources,are carefully identified.While the possible applications and influences of the new formulation are yet to be explored,our preliminary discussion on the pros and cons of previous formulations pertain to acoustic analogy and that on the process splitting and coupling in highly compressible turbulence indicates that at least the formulation can serve as a new frame of reference by which one may gain some additional insight and thereby develop new approaches to the multi-process complex flow problems.

文摘Rock brittleness is a critical property in geotechnical and energy engineering,as it directly influences the prediction of rock failure and stability assessment.Although numerous methods have been developed to evaluate brittleness,many fail to comprehensively account for the impacts of microstructural changes,mineralogical characteristics,and stress conditions on energy evolution during failure.This study proposes a novel approach for brittleness evaluation based on the energy evolution throughout the post-peak failure process,integrating two micromechanical mechanisms:crack propagation and frictional sliding.A new brittleness index is defined as the ratio of generated surface energy to released elastic energy,providing a unified framework for assessing both Class I and Class II mechanical behaviors.The brittleness of cyan,white,and gray sandstones was investigated under various confining pressures and moisture conditions using X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and conventional triaxial compression(CTC)tests.The results demonstrate that brittleness decreases with increasing confining pressure,due to suppressed crack propagation,and increases under saturated conditions,as moisture enhances crack propagation.By establishing connections between mineral composition,microstructural features,and stress-induced responses,the proposed method overcame limitations of previous approaches and offered a more precise tool for evaluating rock brittleness under diverse environmental scenarios.

文摘This study investigates the performance enhancement of super-sulfated cement(SSC)derived from arsenic-containing bio-oxidation waste(BW)through the incorporation of carbonated recycled concrete fines(CRCF).The findings revealed that the addition of 5wt%CRCF yields optimal performance,with compressive strengths reaching approximately 1.83,12.59,and 42.81 MPa at 1,3,and 28 d,respectively.These values represented significant increases of 408.3%,10.0%,and 14.3%compared to the reference sample.The improvement was attributed to the synergistic effects of ultrafine CRCF particles acting as fillers and nucleation sites,as well as the high reactivity of silica gels,which promoted the formation of additional hydration gels.Microstructural analysis confirmed that CRCF addition refined pore structure,and enhanced the stiffness of C-S-H gels.Furthermore,CRCF served as a net CO_(2) sink,sequestering 0.268 kg CO_(2) per kilogram of CRCF and thereby reducing the carbon footprint of SSC.In addition,the feasibility of applying CRCF-modified SSC in cemented paste backfill(CPB)is highlighted,given the high cement-related carbon footprint of conventional CPB.When 5wt%CRCFmodified SSC was employed in CPB,its 3-d compressive strength attained over 70%of that of ordinary Portland cement(OPC),while the 28-d strength was comparable to that of OPC.The proposed binder thus provides a sustainable pathway for BW valorization,combining waste utilization,carbon sequestration,and improved engineering performance.

文摘Dynamic disturbances with various frequencies could trigger different failure modes of deep excavations.Superimposed on this static stress are dynamic disturbances due to various dynamic vibrations,e.g.excavation blasting,blasting,tunnel boring machine(TBM)vibration,rockburst wave,earthquakes.Specifically,these dynamic sources are characterized by a wide range of wave frequencies f,resulting in differences in failure modes.A series of true-triaxial compression tests were conducted on granite to simulate the excavation-induced stress path in three-dimensional(3D)stresses.Subsequently,a dynamic disturbance with various frequencies was applied to a cuboid specimen,to reveal the behavior associated with brittle failure.The dynamic disturbance with frequencies f of 5 Hz,10 Hz,and 40 Hz generates less disturbed energy components in the granite together with higher peak strength.However,dynamic disturbances with f of 20 Hz and 30 Hz resulted in a lower peak strength;the peak strength of the rock increases sp albeit it decreases at first,then increases.This U-shaped phenomenon relates to the natural frequency of the granite under such stress conditions.Different rock lithologies consisting of diverse mineral composition,respond differently to each sensitive resonance frequency.Interestingly,the weak disturbance stress with a high frequency f and low amplitude A increases the ratio of crack damage to peak strength(scd/sp)in the granite.This leads to the inhibition of the expansion of the granite during the dynamic disturbance process.Multiple penetrating tensileeshear cracks appear in the s3-direction as the disturbance frequency f increases.
文摘In complex geological environments,the analysis of drill cores to determine rock strength can be challenging due to the wide variability in the degree of fracturing,leading to subjectivity in the collection of representative samples for uniaxial compressive strength testing.This study evaluates non-destructive techniques on calcareous rocks with different tectonic deformations,including Equotip hardness,ultrasound P-wave velocity,thin section analysis,and calcimetry,integrated with photogrammetric fracture analysis.The investigated carbonate rock samples are sourced from drill cores derived from the Umbria-Marche fold and thrust belt(northern Apennines,Italy),including a gently dipping limb of an anticline,a hinge zone of an anticline,and a fault zone associated with a thrust.Fracture intensity,quantified by the P21 parameter using photogrammetric techniques on pre-loading rock samples,is assessed alongside macroscopic identification of discontinuities(such as stylolites,veins,and joints)using marker colours to monitor failures during uniaxial compression testing.Empirical correlations depicted by single and multi-linear relationships indicate a strong dependence between the mechanical and physical properties of limestones.Both Equotip and P-wave velocity are influenced by fracture intensity,but P-wave velocity varies significantly with discontinuity orientation,especially at 45°-90°.To refine uniaxial compressive strength predictions and mitigate multicollinearity,statistical approaches,including linear and multilinear regression,Principal Component Analysis and Gaussian Process Regression,were tested.Findings improve the reliability of non-destructive techniques for assessing rock strength in structurally complex settings,with implications for geotechnical applications.

文摘Photoacoustic-computed tomography is a novel imaging technique that combines high absorption contrast and deep tissue penetration capability,enabling comprehensive three-dimensional imaging of biological targets.However,the increasing demand for higher resolution and real-time imaging results in significant data volume,limiting data storage,transmission and processing efficiency of system.Therefore,there is an urgent need for an effective method to compress the raw data without compromising image quality.This paper presents a photoacoustic-computed tomography 3D data compression method and system based on Wavelet-Transformer.This method is based on the cooperative compression framework that integrates wavelet hard coding with deep learning-based soft decoding.It combines the multiscale analysis capability of wavelet transforms with the global feature modeling advantage of Transformers,achieving high-quality data compression and reconstruction.Experimental results using k-wave simulation suggest that the proposed compression system has advantages under extreme compression conditions,achieving a raw data compression ratio of up to 1:40.Furthermore,three-dimensional data compression experiment using in vivo mouse demonstrated that the maximum peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)and structural similarity index(SSIM)values of reconstructed images reached 38.60 and 0.9583,effectively overcoming detail loss and artifacts introduced by raw data compression.All the results suggest that the proposed system can significantly reduce storage requirements and hardware cost,enhancing computational efficiency and image quality.These advantages support the development of photoacoustic-computed tomography toward higher efficiency,real-time performance and intelligent functionality.

文摘To investigate the damage evolution caused by stress-driven and sub-critical crack propagation within the Beishan granite under multi-creep triaxial compressive conditions,the distributed optical fiber sensing and X-ray computed tomography were combined to obtain the strain distribution over the sample surface and internal fractures of the samples.The Gini and skewness(G-S)coefficients were used to quantify strain localization during tests,where the Gini coefficient reflects the degree of clustering of elements with high strain values,i.e.,strain localization/delocalization.The strain localization-induced asymmetry of data distribution is quantified by the skewness coefficient.A precursor to granite failure is defined by the rapid and simultaneous increase of the G-S coefficients,which are calculated from strain increment,giving an earlier warning of failure by about 8%peak stress than those from absolute strain values.Moreover,the process of damage accumulation due to stress-driven crack propagation in Beishan granite is different at various confining pressures as the stress exceeds the crack initiation stress.Concretely,strain localization is continuous until brittle failure at higher confining pressure,while both strain localization and delocalization occur at lower confining pressure.Despite the different stress conditions,a similar statistical characteristic of strain localization during the creep stage is observed.The Gini coefficient increases,and the skewness coefficient decreases slightly as the creep stress is below 95%peak stress.When the accelerated strain localization begins,the Gini and skewness coefficients increase rapidly and simultaneously.

文摘We present the first systematic experimental validation of return-current-driven cylindrical implosion scaling in micrometer-sized Cu and Al wires irradiated by J-class femtosecond laser pulses.Employing XFEL-based imaging with sub-micrometer spatial and femtosecond temporal resolution,supported by hydrodynamic and particle-in-cell simulations,we reveal how return current density depends precisely on wire diameter,material properties,and incident laser energy.We identify deviations from simple theoretical predictions due to geometrically influenced electron escape dynamics.These results refine and confirm the scaling laws essential for predictive modeling in high-energy-density physics and inertial fusion research.

文摘Internal structural defects in engineering rock masses vary in size,exhibit complex shapes,and are unevenly distributed.Dominant fractures within a rock mass often play a critical to its mechanical behavior,directly affecting the macromechanical properties and failure modes.These fractures affect the instability and failure of the surrounding rock,significantlyimpacting the overall stability of engineering structures.Herein,sand-powder three-dimensional(3D)printing technology was used to prepare rock-like specimens with internal fracture networks.Triaxial compression testing,post-failure fracture mapping,and fractal dimension analysis of the fracture surfaces were conducted to investigate the effects of dominant fracture angles on the strength and deformation of rocks with internal fracture networks under triaxial stress.The results indicate that the dominant fracture angle has a pronounced effect on the mechanical behavior of rock.With increasing angle,both compressive strength and elastic modulus exhibit an initial decline followed by an increase.Moreover,higher confiningpressure significantlyimproves the compressive strength of fractured rock.This enhancement weakens as the confiningpressure further increases.Moreover,with increasing confiningpressure,the differences between the maximum and minimum values of elastic moduli and lateral strain ratios in fractured rock gradually decrease.Thus,the impact of the dominant fracture angle on rock mass deformation decreases with increasing confiningpressure.This research elucidates the effects of dominant fracture angles on the mechanical and failure properties of complex fractured rock masses and the influenceof the confiningpressure on these relationships.It provides valuable theoretical insights and practical guidance for stability analyses in engineering rock masses.
