This paper proposes a design method called the variable Leading-Edge Cone (vLEC) method to address these limitations. In the vLEC method, the waverider is directly designed from the preassigned leading edge and the variable shock angle distribution based on the Leading-Edge Cone (LEC) concept. Since the vLEC method is an approximate method, two test waveriders are designed and evaluated using numerical simulations to validate the shock design accuracy and the effectiveness of the vLEC method. The results show that the shocks of the test waveriders coincide well with the preassigned positions. Furthermore, four specifically designed application cases are conducted to analyze the performance benefits of the vLEC waveriders. The results of these cases indicate that, due to their variable shock angle distributions, the vLEC waveriders exhibit higher lift-to-drag ratios and better longitudinal static stability than conventional waveriders. Additionally, the vLEC waveriders demonstrate superior volumetric capacities near the symmetry plane, albeit with a minor decrease in volumetric efficiency.展开更多

The improved design method is mainly based on the optimal volume ratio of paste to aggregate(VRPA), which was determined by testing the average thickness of cement paste coating aggregate. The performances of pervious concrete designed by the traditional method and the improved one were compared. The results show that with the increase of designed porosity, the reduction of compressive strength and flexural strength of pervious concrete designed by the improved method is significantly smaller than those designed by the traditional one. The maximum deviation between the designed and actual porosity of the pervious concrete by the improved method is only 1.54%, which is far less than 8.7% obtained by the traditional one. Micro-structural analysis shows that the porous distribution of pervious concrete designed by improved method exhibits better uniformity.展开更多

It is related to vehicles properties and/or pavement materials and conditions. This article presents an extensive experimental investigation in order to compare between the aggregate gradation according to Superpave and Marshall methods of asphalt concrete mix design on pavement rutting and to examine the sensitivity of rutting resistance to aggregate gradation. A wheel truck machine has been used for measurement of pavement rutting (permanent deformation). The tests were carried out at two controlled different air temperature 55℃ and 25℃. The results obtained showed that the adopting of aggregate gradation procedure of Superpave method of pavement mix design for Marshall method of asphalt concrete mix design can reduce the pavement rutting by about 50%. This achievement may be related to missing of three sieves in aggregate gradation procedure of Marshall method which controls rounded and finer aggregate particles. These sieves provide more continuity for aggregate gradation to ensure filling unnecessary gaps and produce more contact points between the aggregates in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). The outputs of the research support modifying Marshall method of asphalt concrete mix design by adopting aggregate gradation proposed in Superpave method. The results of study also showed that the coarser aggregate provided more resistance to pavement rutting.展开更多

Further development and optimization ...G protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a kinase that regulates cardiac signaling activity. Inhibiting GRK2 is a promising mechanism for the treatment of heart failure (HF). Further development and optimization of inhibitors targeting GRK2 are highly meaningful. Therefore, in order to design GRK2 inhibitors with better performance, the most active molecule was selected as a reference compound from a data set containing 4-pyridylhydrazone derivatives and triazole derivatives, and its scaffold was extracted as the initial scaffold. Then, a powerful optimization-based framework for de novo drug design, guided by binding affinity, was used to generate a virtual molecular library targeting GRK2. The binding affinity of each virtual compound in this dataset was predicted by our developed deep learning model, and the designed potential compound with high binding affinity was selected for molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. It was found that the designed potential molecule binds to the ATP site of GRK2, which consists of key amino acids including Arg199, Gly200, Phe202, Val205, Lys220, Met274 and Asp335. The scaffold of the molecule is stabilized mainly by H-bonding and hydrophobic contacts. Concurrently, the reference compound in the dataset was also simulated by docking. It was found that this molecule also binds to the ATP site of GRK2. In addition, its scaffold is stabilized mainly by H-bonding and π-cation stacking interactions with Lys220, as well as hydrophobic contacts. The above results show that the designed potential molecule has similar binding modes to the reference compound, supporting the effectiveness of our framework for activity-focused molecular design. Finally, we summarized the interaction characteristics of general GRK2 inhibitors and gained insight into their molecule-target binding mechanisms, thereby facilitating the expansion of lead to hit compound.展开更多

文摘Currently,simultaneously ensuring the machining accuracy and efficiency of thin-walled structures especially high performance parts still remains a challenge.Existing compensating methods are mainly focusing on 3-aixs machining,which sometimes only take one given point as the compensative point at each given cutter location.This paper presents a redesigned surface based machining strategy for peripheral milling of thin-walled parts.Based on an improved cutting force/heat model and finite element method(FEM)simulation environment,a deflection error prediction model,which takes sequence of cutter contact lines as compensation targets,is established.And an iterative algorithm is presented to determine feasible cutter axis positions.The final redesigned surface is subsequently generated by skinning all discrete cutter axis vectors after compensating by using the proposed algorithm.The proposed machining strategy incorporates the thermo-mechanical coupled effect in deflection prediction,and is also validated with flank milling experiment by using five-axis machine tool.At the same time,the deformation error is detected by using three-coordinate measuring machine.Error prediction values and experimental results indicate that they have a good consistency and the proposed approach is able to significantly reduce the dimension error under the same machining conditions compared with conventional methods.The proposed machining strategy has potential in high-efficiency precision machining of thin-walled parts.

文摘The surrounding rock is prone to large-scale loosening and failure after the excavation of shallow large-span caverns because of the thin overlying strata and large cross-section span.The rational design of bolt support is very important to the safety control of surrounding rock as a common support means.The control mechanism and design method of bolt support for shallow-buried large-span caverns is carried out.The calculation method of bolt prestress and length based on arched failure and collapsed failure mode is established.The influence mechanism of different influencing factors on the bolt prestress and length is clarified.At the same time,the constant resistance energy-absorbing bolt with high strength and high toughness is developed,and the comparative test of mechanical properties is carried out.On this basis,the design method of high prestressed bolt support for shallow-buried large-span caverns is put forward,and the field test is carried out in Qingdao metro station in China.The monitoring results show that the maximum roof settlement is 6.8 mm after the new design method is adopted,and the effective control of the shallow-buried large-span caverns is realized.The research results can provide theoretical and technical support for the safety control of shallow-buried large-span caverns.

文摘An improved design method of pervious concrete was proposed to lower the deviation between the designed and actual porosity and maintain both mechanical property and permeability of pervious concrete. The improved design method is mainly based on the optimal volume ratio of paste to aggregate(VRPA), which was determined by testing the average thickness of cement paste coating aggregate. The performances of pervious concrete designed by the traditional method and the improved one were compared. The results show that with the increase of designed porosity, the reduction of compressive strength and flexural strength of pervious concrete designed by the improved method is significantly smaller than those designed by the traditional one. The maximum deviation between the designed and actual porosity of the pervious concrete by the improved method is only 1.54%, which is far less than 8.7% obtained by the traditional one. Micro-structural analysis shows that the porous distribution of pervious concrete designed by improved method exhibits better uniformity.

文摘Variable Cycle Engine(VCE)serves as the core system in achieving future advanced fighters with cross-generational performance and mission versatility.However,the resultant complex configuration and strong coupling of control parameters present significant challenges in designing acceleration and deceleration control schedules.To thoroughly explore the performance potential of engine,a global integration design method for acceleration and deceleration control schedule based on inner and outer loop optimization is proposed.The outer loop optimization module employs Integrated Surrogate-Assisted Co-Differential Evolutionary(ISACDE)algorithm to optimize the variable geometry adjustment laws based on B-spline curve,and the inner loop optimization module adopts the fixed-state method to design the open-loop fuel–air ratio control schedules,which are aimed at minimizing the acceleration and deceleration time under multiple constraints.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed global integration design method not only furthest shortens the acceleration and deceleration time,but also effectively safeguards the engine from overlimit.

文摘The work takes a new liquid-cooling plate in a power battery with pin fins inside the channel as the object.A mathematical model is established via the central composite design of the response surface to study the relationships among the length,width,height,and spacing of pin fins;the maximum temperature and temperature difference of the battery module;and the pressure drop of the liquid-cooling plate.Model accuracy is verified via variance analysis.The new liquid-cooling plate enables the power battery to work within an optimal temperature range.Appropriately increasing the length,width,and height and reducing the spacing of pin fins could reduce the temperature of the power battery module and improve the temperature uniformity.However,the pressure drop of the liquid-cooling plate increases.The structural parameters of the pin fins are optimized to minimize the maximum temperature and the temperature difference of the battery module as well as the pressure drop of the liquid-cooling plate.The errors between the values predicted and actual by the simulation test are 0.58%,4%,and 0.48%,respectively,which further verifies the model accuracy.The results reveal the influence of the structural parameters of the pin fins inside the liquid-cooling plate on its heat dissipation performance and pressure drop characteristics.A theoretical basis is provided for the design of liquid-cooling plates in power batteries and the optimization of structural parameters.

文摘With the raising complexity of modern civil aircraft,both academy and industry have shown strong interests on MBSE(Model-Based System Engineering).However,following the application of MBSE,the duration of the design phase exceeded expectations.This paper conducted a survey to the relevant participants involved in the design,revealed that a lack of proper process management is a critical issue.The current MBSE methodology does not provide clear guidelines for monitoring,controlling,and managing processes,which are crucial for both efficiency and effectiveness.To address this,the present paper introduced an improved Process Model(PM)within the MBSE framework for civil aircraft design.This improved model incorporates three new Management Blocks(MB):Progress Management Block(PMB),Review Management Block(RMB),and Configuration Management Block(CMB),developed based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration(CMMI).These additions aim to streamline the design process and better align it with engineering practices.The upgraded MBSE method with the improved PM offers a more structured approach to manage complex aircraft design projects,and a case study is conducted to validate its potential to reduce timelines and enhance overall project outcomes.
文摘A spice formulation study in Burkina Faso was carried out using local ingredients for the benefit of households. The objective of this study was to propose some spice formulations based on local ingredients in order to reduce the use of chemical spices in the preparation of different dishes. The Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology was used for the formulation of the spices and their physicochemical, nutritional and sensory characteristics were evaluated by standardized and standard methods. The results obtained showed lipid contents (g/100 g DM) ranging from 10.41 ± 0.26 to 15.64 ± 0.68, total sugars from 4.39 ± 0.32 to 5.46 ± 0.31, protein from 3.65 ± 0.17 to 12.04 ± 0.35 and ash from 5.83 ± 0.01 to 7.02 ± 0.01. The polyphenol content ranged from 9.09 ± 1.60 to 11.33 ± 0.90, and the flavonoid content ranged from 0.65 ± 0.03 to 1.08 ± 0.13. The sensory analysis carried out showed that the spices have generally satisfactory organoleptic characteristics. These results constitute new information in the diet of populations and are an alternative to the chemical spices used in their cooking.
文摘The permanent deformation (rutting) of pavement is a major distress in flexible pavement. It is related to vehicles properties and/or pavement materials and conditions. This article presents an extensive experimental investigation in order to compare between the aggregate gradation according to Superpave and Marshall methods of asphalt concrete mix design on pavement rutting and to examine the sensitivity of rutting resistance to aggregate gradation. A wheel truck machine has been used for measurement of pavement rutting (permanent deformation). The tests were carried out at two controlled different air temperature 55℃ and 25℃. The results obtained showed that the adopting of aggregate gradation procedure of Superpave method of pavement mix design for Marshall method of asphalt concrete mix design can reduce the pavement rutting by about 50%. This achievement may be related to missing of three sieves in aggregate gradation procedure of Marshall method which controls rounded and finer aggregate particles. These sieves provide more continuity for aggregate gradation to ensure filling unnecessary gaps and produce more contact points between the aggregates in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). The outputs of the research support modifying Marshall method of asphalt concrete mix design by adopting aggregate gradation proposed in Superpave method. The results of study also showed that the coarser aggregate provided more resistance to pavement rutting.

文摘The quasi-rectangular tunnel represents a novel cross-section design,intended to supersede the traditional circular and rectangular tunnel formats.Due to the limited capacity of the tunnel vault to withstand vertical loads,an interior column is often installed at the center to enhance its load-bearing capacity.This study aims to develop a hyperstatic reaction method(HRM)for the analysis of deformation and structural integrity in this specific tunnel type.The computational model is validated through comparison with the corresponding finite element method(FEM)analysis.Following comprehensive validation,an ensemble machine learning(ML)model is proposed,using numerical benchmark data,to facilitate real-time design and optimization.Subsequently,three widely used ensemble models,i.e.random forest(RF),gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT),and extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)are compared to identify the most efficient ML model for replacing the HRM model in the design optimization process.The performance metrics,such as the coefficient of determination R2 of about 0.999 and the mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)of about 1%,indicate that XGBoost outperforms the others,exhibiting excellent agreement with the HRM analysis.Additionally,the model demonstrates high computational efficiency,with prediction times measured in seconds.Finally,the HRM-XGBoost model is integrated with the well-known particle swarm optimization(PSO)for the real-time design optimization of quasi-rectangular tunnels,both with and without the interior column.A feature importance assessment is conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of design input features,enabling the selection of the most critical features for the optimization task.

文摘In the context of Industry 5.0,more emphasis is placed on human-centric smart manufacturing patterns.Product design is a vital phase of smart manufacturing,involving user engagement is an essential factor in enhancing design quality and fostering innovation.With user involvement in-depth,dynamically changing user requirements and feedback bring new problems to the design process,and the traditional linear solving process cannot perceive such variations timely,which causes hysteresis in the solution.The design solution's hysteresis affects the consensus achievement process between the designer and user,further prolonging the iteration cycle.To address this issue,a human-centric product conceptual design model is proposed for the timely translation of such variations into design solutions.In this model,design problems are formed by centering on user requirements,designer and user collaboratively solve the problems to form design solutions.Through a cycle of problem-driven,knowledgesupported,and solution evaluation,new problems are solved promptly to achieve progressive solution convergence,which clarifies the iterative evolution process and improves iterative efficiency.To verify the effectiveness of the model,a natural gas well foaming agent automatic filling device design is presented.

文摘G protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a kinase that regulates cardiac signaling activity. Inhibiting GRK2 is a promising mechanism for the treatment of heart failure (HF). Further development and optimization of inhibitors targeting GRK2 are highly meaningful. Therefore, in order to design GRK2 inhibitors with better performance, the most active molecule was selected as a reference compound from a data set containing 4-pyridylhydrazone derivatives and triazole derivatives, and its scaffold was extracted as the initial scaffold. Then, a powerful optimization-based framework for de novo drug design, guided by binding affinity, was used to generate a virtual molecular library targeting GRK2. The binding affinity of each virtual compound in this dataset was predicted by our developed deep learning model, and the designed potential compound with high binding affinity was selected for molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. It was found that the designed potential molecule binds to the ATP site of GRK2, which consists of key amino acids including Arg199, Gly200, Phe202, Val205, Lys220, Met274 and Asp335. The scaffold of the molecule is stabilized mainly by H-bonding and hydrophobic contacts. Concurrently, the reference compound in the dataset was also simulated by docking. It was found that this molecule also binds to the ATP site of GRK2. In addition, its scaffold is stabilized mainly by H-bonding and π-cation stacking interactions with Lys220, as well as hydrophobic contacts. The above results show that the designed potential molecule has similar binding modes to the reference compound, supporting the effectiveness of our framework for activity-focused molecular design. Finally, we summarized the interaction characteristics of general GRK2 inhibitors and gained insight into their molecule-target binding mechanisms, thereby facilitating the expansion of lead to hit compound.

文摘To ensure the dimensional accuracy of the final blade profile,it is necessary for precision Electrochemical Machining(ECM)of blade profile to come into an equilibrium state.However,after Electrochemical Trepanning(ECTr),the cascade channel of the blisk is narrow,and the blank allowance distribution is uneven,making it difficult for the precision ECM to become balanced.In blisk production,the two-step method cannot make precision ECM enter equilibrium for some blisk types.A three-step processing method is proposed to overcome this problem.The threestep method adds Electrochemical Homogenizing Machining(ECHM)between the ECTr and precision ECM steps so that the blank allowance can be homogenized quickly without unduly affecting the minimum allowance.Comparative machining experiments of the two-and three-step methods were performed to verify the improvement to blade machining accuracy.The processing results show that the contour parameters of the blade after the three-step method implementation are much better.The allowance difference of the concave(convex)side decreased by 70.5%(65%).In addition,the current in the three-step method is stable at 110 A at the end of precision ECM,verifying successfully entering the equilibrium state.
