文摘Fuel-coolant interaction(FCI)remains one of the most complex challenges in severe accident research,with the triggering process being a key aspect that may govern subsequent fine fragmentation and potential steam explosions.In this study,the evolution characteristics of droplet-water interactions under external disturbance conditions were investigated using a self-designed FCI experimental setup.The experimental observations revealed that cavity formation reduced the drag force on the droplet,thereby increasing its peak velocity.However,the external disturbance pressure can disrupt the cavity,leading to a reduction in the droplet peak velocity.Furthermore,it was found that an increase in external disturbance pressure tended to increase the peak value of the droplet expansion rate,thereby promoting the fine-fragmentation process.This effect holds regardless of the initial droplet temperature,coolant temperature,or even when using droplet materials such as lead,which is generally considered unfavorable for steam explosions.Comparative analyses indicated that a higher external disturbance pressure may shorten the triggering time of the droplet surface and enhance the trigger intensity.These findings provide important phenomenological insights for further investigation of the triggering mechanisms in the initial stage of fuel-coolant interactions.

文摘As bacterial infections have emerged as the second leading cause of death worldwide,the urgent demand for novel and effective antibacterial therapies continues to escalate.In this context,three-dimensional(3D)printing technology offers transformative potential for the design and fabrication of oral formulations,internal implants,and external dressings in the management of bacterial inflammation.Conventional oral antibacterial agents often suffer from limitations in drug release kinetics and gastrointestinal stability.Leveraging 3D printing enables precise control over drug release profiles,thereby enhancing both bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy.Moreover,the development of internal implants requires high levels of individual specificity and structural precision.Through patient-specific customization and the incorporation of appropriate antibacterial materials,3D printing allows the fabrication of implants tailored to individual clinical needs,ultimately increasing surgical success rates and minimizing postoperative infection risks.Additionally,3D-printed external dressings exhibit excellent antibacterial activity,accelerate wound healing,and facilitate patient recovery.This review summarizes the fabrication methods,key advantages,and therapeutic outcomes of 3D printing in oral delivery systems,implantable devices,and wound dressings.It further highlights recent advances and emerging trends,offering insights and strategic guidance for the rational design and application of antibacterial therapeutics.

文摘The effects of the high pressure die casting(HPDC)processes on porosity,microstructure,and mechanical properties of heat-treatment-free aluminum silicon(Al-Si)alloys have long been a focal point in automotive die-casting research.In this work,the combined effect of shot sleeve materials and slow shot speeds on porosity,microstructure and mechanical properties of a newly designed HPDC Al-Si alloy was investigated.Results show that employing a ceramic shot sleeve or increasing the slow shot speed significantly reduces both the average size and area fraction of externally solidified crystals(ESCs),as well as the average pore size and volume fraction.When the slow shot speed is increased from 0.05 m·s^(-1)to 0.1 m·s^(-1),the pore volume fraction decreases by 10.2%in steel-shot-sleeve samples,compared to a substantial 67.1%reduction in ceramic-shot-sleeve samples.At a slow shot speed of 0.1 m·s^(-1),castings produced with a ceramic shot sleeve exhibit superior mechanical properties:8.3%higher yield strength,17.4%greater tensile strength,and an 81.4%improvement in elongation,relative to those from a steel shot sleeve.These findings provide valuable insights for minimizing porosity and coarse ESCs in die castings,offering promising potential for broader industrial applications.

文摘Traditional strategies for designing hyperhalogens,superatoms with exceptional electron-withdrawing capacity,rely on complex superhalogen assembly,posing significant experimental challenges.Here,we introduce a non-invasive dual external field(DEF) approach combining solvent effects and an oriented external electric field(OEEF) to construct hyperhalogens,as demonstrated by density functional theory(DFT) calculations.Our DEF strategy proves versatile,successfully designing hyperhalogens not only in simplified Ag_n^(-) model systems but also in the experimentally synthesized Ag_(25) nanocluster.Using the 3D Ag_(19)^(-) structure as a model,we further reveal the DEF's pivotal role in O_(2) activation,where solvent-OEEF synergy induces tunable O-O bond elongation and charge transfer,proportional to field strength.Our findings establish a field-driven paradigm for hyperhalogen design that preserves native cluster composition,providing a theoretical foundation for tailoring high-performance catalysts through precise activesite modulation.

文摘The performance degradation of micro light-emitting diodes(micro-LEDs)is closely associated with the deterioration of sidewall passivation layers under prolonged electrical bias.We investigate reliability improvements in 20μm×20μm InGaN/GaN blue micro-LEDs by suppressing the formation of an unstable interfacial layer during sidewall passivation.SiO_(2)is deposited on the etched mesa sidewalls using either Sputtering or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD).Comparative analysis reveals that PECVD-passivated devices experience more severe performance degradation,primarily due to the increased leakage current.After 100 h of accelerated aging,external quantum efficiency decreases by 44%in PECVD-passivated samples,whereas Sputter-passivated devices exhibit only an11%reduction.This discrepancy is attributed to the formation of a thicker and chemically unstable gallium oxynitride(Ga-O_(X)-N_(1-X))interfacial layer at the SiO_(2)∕GaN-based interface,which facilitates the generation of sidewall defects.Suppressing the formation of this interlayer enhances the crystallinity and structural stability of the passivation layer,thereby mitigating the activation of point defects.Notably,Sputter deposition is more effective in minimizing the formation of Ga-O-N interlayer.These findings emphasize the critical role of achieving low-defect-density sidewall passivation to improve the reliability of micro-LEDs for next-generation high-resolution display applications.

文摘Amphibious vehicles are more prone to attitude instability compared to ships,making it crucial to develop effective methods for monitoring instability risks.However,large inclination events,which can lead to instability,occur frequently in both experimental and operational data.This infrequency causes events to be overlooked by existing prediction models,which lack the precision to accurately predict inclination attitudes in amphibious vehicles.To address this gap in predicting attitudes near extreme inclination points,this study introduces a novel loss function,termed generalized extreme value loss.Subsequently,a deep learning model for improved waterborne attitude prediction,termed iInformer,was developed using a Transformer-based approach.During the embedding phase,a text prototype is created based on the vehicle’s operation log data is constructed to help the model better understand the vehicle’s operating environment.Data segmentation techniques are used to highlight local data variation features.Furthermore,to mitigate issues related to poor convergence and slow training speeds caused by the extreme value loss function,a teacher forcing mechanism is integrated into the model,enhancing its convergence capabilities.Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method,demonstrating its ability to handle data imbalance challenges.Specifically,the model achieves over a 60%improvement in root mean square error under extreme value conditions,with significant improvements observed across additional metrics.

文摘This paper is dedicated to solving the problem of adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant tracking control for a class of time-varying high-order uncertain nonlinear systems.The motivation comes from how to construct a compact set large enough in which the approximation of any unknown continuous function by a fuzzy logic system(FLS)is effective while compensating sensor/actuator faults and external disturbances.The difficulty is to verify the boundedness of closed-loop signals on the constructed compact set and to reduce the number of the variables of the fuzzy membership functions as many as possible.By a new lemma,linear/nonlinear terms are introduced in adaptive laws to dominate unknown residual terms.With adding a power integrator method,a unified fault-tolerant controller is designed to drive the tracking error to converge to a small compact set of the origin within a fixed time,regardless of whether the system suffers from faults and disturbances.Superior to the existing results,in the presence of time-varying factors the scheme of this paper clarifies the logical relationship between the compactness of the approximation and the boundedness of the state variables.Finally,the application of control strategy is demonstrated by numerical/practical examples.

文摘In order to investigate the effect of die wall thickness on morphologies of defect band,a stepped mold with a wall thickness of 5 mm,4 mm,3 mm,2 mm,and 1 mm was designed to carry out high pressure die casting experiments with AlSi10 MgMn alloy.For castings with wall thickness of 2-4 mm,the ratio of the mean defect band width(w)and mean grain size(d)in the defect band(w/d)ranges 7-18,while it increases to 24.47 for the 5 mm-thick casting.This difference is related with the filling speed and the distribution of externally solidified crystals(ESCs).The mold flow analysis indicates that the filling speed decreases from 25.41 m·s^(-1)to 11.07 m·s^(-1)when wall thickness increases from 2 mm to 5 mm.Due to the decreasing filling speed along the wall thickness,ESCs gradually diffuse from the center to the defect band,which keep the shear strength in the defect band at a high-level during filling.Meanwhile,the shear strength generated during the filling also decreases as the shear rate drops.Finally,the defect bands in the 5 mm-thick region become widen and indistinct,and the porosity is as high as 5.25%.

文摘Electroslag remelting(ESR) is an important metallurgical process for producing high-purity materials with homogeneous compositions and sound microstructures,and its typical products are ingots or simple castings.The core principle involves the resistive melting of a consumable electrode within a slag pool,followed by the refining of molten metal droplets as they traverse the slag,and subsequent sequential solidification in a water-cooled mold.However,conventional ESR processes face limitations in producing large or complex-shaped components,enhancing production efficiency,achieving highly specialized microstructures,and meeting ultra-high purity demands for advanced applications.Advanced composite ESR technologies have been developed to overcome these limitations by innovatively modifying key process aspects.For instance,electrode systems are improved using vibration,rotation,or multiple electrodes.Enhanced mold design and solidification control are achieved through techniques including conductive molds,mold rotation,and ingot withdrawal.Precise control of the process is realized through the use of protective gas,vacuum,or elevated pressure,as well as the application of external fields such as magnetic fields or ultrasonic vibration.This review comprehensively summarizes these advanced techniques,examining their principles and characteristics,and discussing their specific advantages and challenges.
