Meteorological extreme events or phenomena include tornadoes and tropical cyclones. The new high energy state of matter expanding outwards by spin jets from the two poles of an astronomical black hole, the new high energy state of matter in a funnel-shaped vortex showed a meteorological tornado expanding downwards from a rotated disk of cumulonimbus clouds, the new high energy state of matter in a tropical cyclone and the new high energy state of a nebulae system converging celestial materials are phenomena across disciplines and multiple time-space scales that have not yet been physically explained. In this paper, the theory of orthogonal collision in the rotational contraction continuum is used to unify the understanding of diverse extreme events or phenomena through a single dynamical mechanism, offering insights into natural processes across disciplines. In the field of astronomy, the orthogonal collision of two-beam rotating and contracting particles or stars associated with centripetal forces forms a new high-energy state of matter at the collision point and the new high-energy particles have expanding forces outward to both sides of the collision plane. In the field of meteorology, the orthogonal collision of multiple horizontally rotating and contracting airflows associated with centripetal forces forms a new high energy state of matter at the collision point as well as an updraft force and a downdraft force vertically. The updraft force and downdraft force formed by the collision of anomalous wet airflows in the lower atmosphere can well indicate tornado, thunderstorm and extreme precipitation. The orthogonal collision theory can be applied to explain new states of matter in disciplines from the astronomical scale to the meteorological scale and the Planck scale.展开更多

The properties of K＋, Na＋, and Mg2＋ between molecularly smooth mica surfaces are investigated. The Derjagui-Landau- Verwey-Overbeek （DLVO） force and the hydration force are detected in the experiment. The results show that in lower concentrations of a monovalent electrolyte solution （about 10-4 mol/L）, the force curves are completely in good agreement with those computed by the DLVO theory. However, additional short-range repulsive forces which deviate from the DLVO theory are observed when the concentrations of cations are above the critical bulk concentration, which is different for each electrolyte. The results show the properties of these cations on both the screening effect adsorbed on the mica surface and the hydration in solution. From the results, the interaction energy between two hydrated ions of potassium or sodium can also be estimated.展开更多

文摘This study presents a closed-form solution for central stress,a semi-analytical model,and a modified anisotropic semi-analytical model to efficiently calculate the forcefrequency coefficients(FFCs)of square quartz crystal resonators(QCRs)with different side lengths and azimuth angles under eccentrically concentrated and distributed loads.The semi-analytical model is validated by comparisons between the experimental results and the nonlinear finite element method(FEM)simulation results.Based on the semi-analytical model for the FFC and nonlinear FEM simulations,the FFC variations of square QCRs under external loads and the related mechanisms are investigated.Among the initial stresses caused by external loads,the central stress parallel to the xcrystallographic axis is the primary factor influencing the FFC of quartz.Our findings can provide practical tools for calculating the FFC,and help the design and development of square quartz force sensors.

文摘The frequent or occasional impact loads pose serious threats to the service safety of conventional concrete structures in tunnel.In this paper,a novel three-dimensional mesoscopic model of steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC)is constructed by discrete element method.The model encompasses the concrete matrix,aggregate,interfacial transition zone and steel fibers,taking into account the random shape of the coarse aggregate and the stochastic distribution of steel fibers.It captures microscopic-level interactions among the coarse aggregate,steel fibers,and matrix.Subsequently,a comprehensive procedure is formulated to calibrate the microscopic parameters required by the model,and the reliability of the model is verified by comparing with the experimental results.Furthermore,a coupled finite difference method-discrete element method approach is used to construct the model of the split Hopkinson pressure bar.Compression tests are simulated on SFRC specimens with varying steel fiber contents under static and dynamic loading conditions.Finally,based on the advantages of DEM analysis at the mesoscopic level,this study analyzed mechanisms of enhancement and crack arrest in SFRC.It shed a light on the perspectives of interface failure process,microcrack propagation,contact force field evolution and energy analysis,offering valuable insights for related mining engineering applications.

文摘Driven by technological innovation and the innovative allocation of production factors,new quality productive forces(NQPFs)are a key breakthrough and core element propelling China’s transition from a major agricultural country to an advanced agricultural nation.At its core,agricultural modernization represents a frontier shift in agricultural development-a dynamic evolution of productive forces across technological forms,farmer demographics,industrial structures,and urban-rural relations.NQPFs drive the high-quality,integrated development of agricultural modernization through agricultural technological innovation,green and low-carbon practices,and the enhancement of all production factors.As NQPFs evolve and agricultural modernization advances,we must address constraints stemming from gaps in technology,models,resources,and talent.Furthermore,we must foster deep integration among industry,research,and education to develop new pathways for industrial upgrading,promote green and efficient agricultural development,and bridge existing technological gaps.These collective efforts are crucial for accelerating the high-quality development of agricultural modernization.

文摘Due to batteries inconsistencies and potential faults in battery management systems,slight overcharging remains a common yet insufficiently understood safety risk,lacking effective warning methods.To illuminate the degradation behavior and failure mechanism of various overcharged states(100%SOC,105%SOC,110%SOC,and 115%SOC),multiple advanced in-situ characterization techniques(accelerating rate calorimeter,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,ultrasonic scanning,and expansion instrument)were utilized.Additionally,re-overcharge-induced thermal runaway(TR)tests were conducted,with a specific emphasis on the evolution of the expansion force signal.Results indicated significant degradation at 110%SOC including conductivity loss,loss of lithium inventory,and loss of active material accompanied by internal gas generation.These failure behaviors slow down the expansion force rate during reovercharging,reducing the efficacy of active warnings that depend on rate thresholds of expansion force.Specifically,the warning time for 115%SOC battery is only 144 s,which is 740 s shorter than that for fresh battery,and the time to TR is advanced by 9 min.Moreover,the initial self-heating temperature(T1)is reduced by 62.4℃compared to that of fresh battery,reaching only 70.8℃.To address the low safety of overcharged batteries,a passive overcharge warning method utilizing relaxation expansion force was proposed,based on the continued gas generation after stopping charging,leading to a sustained increase in force.Compared to active methods that rely on thresholds of expansion force rate,the passive method can issue warnings 115 s earlier.By combining the passive and active warning methods,guaranteed effective overcharge warning can be issued 863-884 s before TR.This study introduces a novel perspective for enhancing the safety of batteries.

文摘A new analytical model for geometric size and forming force prediction in incremental flanging(IF)is presented in this work.The complex deformation characteristics of IF are considered in the modeling process,which can accurately describe the strain and stress states in IF.Based on strain analysis,the model can predict the material thickness distribution and neck height after IF.By considering contact area,strain characteristics,material thickness changes,and friction,the model can predict specific moments and corresponding values of maximum axial forming force and maximum horizontal forming force during IF.In addition,an IF experiment involving different tool diameters,flanging diameters,and opening hole diameters is conducted.On the basis of the experimental strain paths,the strain characteristics of different deformation zones are studied,and the stable strain ratio is quantitatively described through two dimensionless parameters:relative tool diameter and relative hole diameter.Then,the changing of material thickness and forming force in IF,and the variation of minimum material thickness,neck height,maximum axial forming force,and maximum horizontal forming force with flanging parameters are studied,and the reliability of the analytical model is verified in this process.Finally,the influence of the horizontal forming force on the tool design and the fluctuation of the forming force are explained.

文摘Moles exhibit highly effective capabilities due to their unique body structures and digging techniques,making them ideal models for biomimetic research.However,a major challenge for mole-inspired robots lies in overcoming resistance in granular media when burrowing with forelimbs.In the absence of effective forepaw design strategies,most robotic designs rely on increased power to enhance performance.To address this issue,this paper employs Resistive Force Theory to optimize mole-inspired forepaws,aiming to enhance burrowing efficiency.By analyzing the relationship between geometric parameters and burrowing forces,we propose several forepaw design variations.Through granular resistance assessments,an effective forepaw configuration is identified and further refined using parameters such as longitudinal and transverse curvature.Subsequently,the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is applied to determine the optimal forepaw design.In force-loading tests,the optimized forepaw demonstrated a 79.44%reduction in granular lift force and a 22.55%increase in propulsive force compared with the control group.In robotic burrowing experiments,the optimized forepaw achieved the longest burrow displacement(179.528 mm)and the lowest burrowing lift force(0.9355 mm/s),verifying its effectiveness in reducing the lift force and enhancing the propulsive force.

文摘The undeformed chip thickness and grinding force are key parameters for revealing the material removal mechanism in the grinding process.However,they are difficult to be well expressed due to the ununiformed protrusion height and random position distribution of abrasive grains on the abrasive wheel surface.This study investigated the distribution of undeformed chip thickness and grinding force considering the non-uniform characteristics of abrasive wheel in the grinding of K4002 nickel-based superalloy.First,a novel grinding force model was established through a kinematic-geometric analysis and a grain-workpiece contact analysis.Then,a series of grinding experiments were conducted for verifying the model.The results indicate that the distribution of undeformed chip thickness is highly consistent with the Gaussian distribution formula.The increase in the grinding depth mainly leads to an increase in the average value of Gaussian distribution.On the contrary,the increase in the workpiece infeed speed or the decrease in the grinding speed mainly increases the standard deviation of Gaussian distribution.The average and maximum errors of the grinding force model are 4.9%and 14.6%respectively,indicating that the model is of high predication accuracy.

文摘Forced imbibition,the invasion of a wetting fluid into porous rocks,plays an important role in the effective exploitation of hydrocarbon resources and the geological sequestration of carbon dioxide.However,the interface dynamics influenced by complex topology commonly leads to non-wetting fluid trapping.Particularly,the underlying mechanisms under viscously unfavorable conditions remain unclear.This study employs a direct numerical simulation method to simulate forced imbibition through the reconstructed digital rocks of sandstone.The interface dynamics and fluid–fluid interactions are investigated through transient simulations,while the pore topology metrics are introduced to analyze the impact on steady-state residual fluid distribution obtained by a pseudo-transient scheme.The results show that the cooperative pore-filling process promoted by corner flow is dominant at low capillary numbers.This leads to unstable inlet pressure,mass flow,and interface curvature,which correspond to complicated interface dynamics and higher residual fluid saturation.During forced imbibition,the interface curvature gradually increases,with the pore-filling mechanisms involving the cooperation of main terminal meniscus movement and arc menisci filling.Complex topology with small diameter pores may result in the destabilization of interface curvature.The residual fluid saturation is negatively correlated with porosity and pore throat size,and positively correlated with tortuosity and aspect ratio.A large mean coordination number characterizing global connectivity promotes imbibition.However,high connectivity characterized by the standardized Euler number corresponding to small pores is associated with a high probability of non-wetting fluid trapping.

文摘Rail weld irregularities are one of the primary excitation sources for vehicle-track interaction dynamics in modern high-speed railways.They can cause significant wheel-rail dynamic interactions,leading to wheel-rail noise,component damage,and deterioration.Few researchers have employed the vehicle-track interaction dynamic model to study the dynamic interactions between wheel and rail induced by rail weld geometry irregularities.However,the cosine wave model used to simulate rail weld irregularities mainly focuses on the maximum value and neglects the geometric shape.In this study,novel theoretical models were developed for three categories of rail weld irregularities,based on measurements of the high-speed railway from Beijing to Shanghai.The vertical dynamic forces in the time and frequency domains were compared under different running speeds.These forces generated by the rail weld irregularities that were measured and modeled,respectively,were compared to validate the accuracy of the proposed model.Finally,based on the numerical study,the impact force due to rail weld irrregularity is modeled using an Artificial Neural Network(ANN),and the optimum combination of parameters for this model is found.The results showed that the proposed model provided a more accurate wheel/rail dynamic evaluation caused by rail weld irregularities than that established in the literature.The ANN model used in this paper can effectively predict the impact force due to rail weld irrregularity while reducing the computation time.

文摘The forces between two molecularly smooth mica surfaces are measured in monovalent and divalent cations electrolyte solutions by a surface force apparatus （SFA）. The properties of K＋, Na＋, and Mg2＋ between molecularly smooth mica surfaces are investigated. The Derjagui-Landau- Verwey-Overbeek （DLVO） force and the hydration force are detected in the experiment. The results show that in lower concentrations of a monovalent electrolyte solution （about 10-4 mol/L）, the force curves are completely in good agreement with those computed by the DLVO theory. However, additional short-range repulsive forces which deviate from the DLVO theory are observed when the concentrations of cations are above the critical bulk concentration, which is different for each electrolyte. The results show the properties of these cations on both the screening effect adsorbed on the mica surface and the hydration in solution. From the results, the interaction energy between two hydrated ions of potassium or sodium can also be estimated.
