文摘Spectrin domains,characterized by a distinctive triple helix structure,are crucial in physiological processes,particularly in maintaining membrane shape and crosslinking cytoskeletons.Previous research on the 16th domain of a-spectrin repeats(R16)has yielded conflicting results:bulk experiments showed an unfolding rate approximately two orders of magnitude faster than the zero-force result extrapolated from single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments using atomic force microscopy(AFM).To address this discrepancy,we investigated the folding and unfolding rates of R16 across a broader range of forces using magnetic tweezers(MT).Our findings reveal that AFM results at higher forces cannot be directly extrapolated to the low-force regime due to a nonlinear relationship between force and the logarithm of the unfolding rate.We demonstrated that two-dimensional model,structural-elastic model,and two-pathway model can all effectively explain the experimental data when they capture the core physics of the short unfolding distance at low forces.Our study provides a more comprehensive understanding of the unfolding dynamics of the spectrin domain,resolves previous contradictory experimental results,and highlights the common basis of different theoretical models.

文摘To address the issue that traditional finite element methods cannot fully consider the semi-infinite earth strata and have lower solution accuracy,a new equivalent force model for induced deformation during oil and gas reservoir development is derived from the perspective of semi-infinite strata.A brand-new volume boundary element numerical method solution has been developed and verified and tested.The influences of internal flow and flow boundary of the reservoir on strata deformation are equivalent to the impacts on strata deformation when external forces act at the interior and boundary of the reservoir,respectively.Calculation methods for the flow equivalent force and boundary equivalent force are provided.The deformation solution at any point in the strata can be obtained through the convolution of flow equivalent forces,boundary equivalent forces and Green’s functions.After discretization,the deformation solution at any point in the strata can be obtained by multiplying the grid boundary equivalent forces,grid flow equivalent forces with their corresponding grid boundary sources and grid volume sources respectively,and then summing them up.This numerical method is termed the Volumetric Boundary Element Method(VBEM).Compared with traditional commercial simulators,VBEM fully considers the effects of reservoir flow boundaries,pore pressure gradient fields within the reservoir,and fluid mass changes within pores on formation deformation.It eliminates the need for meshing outside the reservoir,achieves significantly improved solution accuracy,and provides a new technical framework for simulating deformation induced by reservoir development.

文摘As the environmental problems become increasingly serious,distributed electrical propulsion systems with higher aerodynamic efficiency and lower pollution emission have received extensive attention in recent years.The distributed electrical propulsion usually employs the new aero-propulsion integrated configuration.A simulation strategy for internal and external flow coupling based on the combination of lifting line theory and body force method is proposed.The lifting line theory and body force method as source term are embedded into the Navier-Stokes formulation.The lift and drag characteristics of the aero-propulsion coupling configuration are simulated.The results indicate that the coupling configuration has the most obvious lift augmentation at 12°angle of attack,which can provide an 11.11%increase in lift for the airfoil.At 0°angle of attack,the pressure difference on the lip parts provides the thrust component,which results in a lower drag coefficient.Additionally,the failure impact of a ducted fan at the middle or edge on aerodynamics is investigated.For the two failure conditions,the lift of the coupling configuration is decreased significantly by 27.85%and 26.14%respectively,and the lip thrust is decreased by 70.74%and 56.48%respectively.

文摘A metallurgical model for austenite coarsening in the coarse-grained heat-affected zone(CGHAZ)containing titanium nitride(TiN)precipitation was studied.Unlike traditional methods estimating pinning capability based on the precipitation size after welding,a proposed dissolution and coarsening model was applied to study the changes in TiN precipitation size and the associated pinning forces.The transmission electron microscope was used to analyze the size distribution of TiN particles before and after the welding thermal cycle.The size distribution showed a log-normal distribution before the thermal cycle.The prediction of post-thermal cycle size distributions with the proposed model was in agreement with the experimental results.Considering the short holding time at high temperature during welding,the thermodynamic stability conditions required for limiting grain size model cannot be achieved.A simple kinetic model for the prediction of austenite grain size in CGHAZ was established.Finally,the predicted austenite grain sizes agree better with experimental results than the conventional approach.

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Microrobots powered by an external magnetic field could be used for sophisticated medical applications such as cell treatment,micromanipulation,and noninvasive surgery inside the body.Untethered microrobot applications can benefit from haptic technology and telecommunication,enabling telemedical micro-manipulation.Users can manipulate the microrobots with haptic feedback by interacting with the robot operating system remotely in such applications.Artificially created haptic forces based on wirelessly transmitted data and model-based guidance can aid human operators with haptic sensations while manipulating microrobots.The system presented here includes a haptic device and a magnetic tweezer system linked together using a network-based teleoperation method with motion models in fluids.The magnetic microrobots can be controlled remotely,and the haptic interactions with the remote environment can be felt in real time.A time-domain passivity controller is applied to overcome network delay and ensure stability of communication.This study develops and tests a motion model for microrobots and evaluates two image-based 3D tracking algorithms to improve tracking accuracy in various Newtonian fluids.Additionally,it demonstrates that microrobots can group together to transport multiple larger objects,move through microfluidic channels for detailed tasks,and use a novel method for disassembly,greatly expanding their range of use in microscale operations.Remote medical treatment in multiple locations,remote delivery of medication without the need for physical penetration of the skin,and remotely controlled cell manipulations are some of the possible uses of the proposed technology.

文摘Embedding optical fiber sensors into composite materials offers the advantage of real-time structural monitoring.However,there is an order-of-magnitude difference in diameter between optical fibers and reinforcing fibers,and the detailed mechanism of how embedded optical fibers affect the micromechanical behavior and damage failure processes within composite materials remains unclear.This paper presents a micromechanical simulation analysis of composite materials embedded with optical fibers.By constructing representative volume elements(RVEs)with randomly distributed reinforcing fibers,the optical fiber,the matrix,and the interface phase,the micromechanical behavior and damage evolution under transverse tensile and compressive loads are explored.The study finds that the presence of embedded optical fibers significantly influences the initiation and propagation of microscopic damage within the composites.Under transverse tension,the fiber-matrix interface cracks first,followed by plastic cracking in the matrix surrounding the fibers,forming micro-cracks.Eventually,these cracks connect with the debonded areas at the fiber-matrix interface to form a dominant crack that spans the entire model.Under transverse compression,plastic cracking first occurs in the resin surrounding the optical fibers,connecting with the interface debonding areas between the optical fibers and the matrix to form two parallel shear bands.Additionally,it is observed that the strength of the interface between the optical fiber and the matrix critically affects the simulation results.The simulated damage morphologies align closely with those observed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM).These findings offer theoretical insights that can inform the design and fabrication of smart composite materials with embedded optical fiber sensors for advanced structural health monitoring.

文摘Pingquan City,the origin of five rivers,serves as the core water conservation zone for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and exemplifies the characteristics of small watersheds in hilly areas.In recent years,excessive mining and intensified human activities have severely disrupted the local ecosystem,creating an urgent need for ecological vulnerability assessment to enhance water conservation functions.This study employed the sensitivity-resilience-pressure model,integrating various data sources,including regional background,hydro-meteorological data,field investigations,remote sensing analysis,and socio-economic data.The weights of the model indices were determined using an entropy weighting model that combines principal component analysis and the analytic hierarchy process.Using the ArcGIS platform,the spatial distribution and driving forces of ecological vulnerability in 2020 were analyzed,providing valuable insights for regional ecological restoration.The results indicated that the overall Ecological Vulnerability Index(EVI)was 0.389,signifying moderate ecological vulnerability,with significant variation between watersheds.The Daling River Basin had a high EVI,with ecological vulnerability primarily in levels IV and V,indicating high ecological pressure,whereas the Laoniu River Basin had a low EVI,reflecting minimal ecological pressure.Soil type was identified as the primary driving factor,followed by elevation,temperature,and soil erosion as secondary factors.It is recommended to focus on key regions and critical factors while conducting comprehensive monitoring and assessment to ensure the long-term success of ecological management efforts.

文摘The existing analytical models for umbrella arch method(UAM)based on elastic foundation beams often overlook the influence of the surrounding soil beyond the beam edges on the shear stresses acting on the beam.Consequently,such models fail to adequately reflect the continuity characteristics of soil deformation.Leveraging the Pasternak foundation-Euler beam model,this study considers the generalized shear force on the beam to account for the influence of soil outside the beam ends on the shear stress.An analytical model for the deformation and internal forces of finite-length beams subjected to arbitrary loads is derived based on the initial parameter method under various conditions.The mechanical model of the elastic foundation beam for advanced umbrella arch under typical tunnel excavation cycles is established,yielding analytical solutions for the longitudinal response of the umbrella arch.The reliability of the analytical model is verified with the existing test data.The improved model addresses anomalies in existing models,such as abnormal upward deformation in the loosened segment and maximum deflection occurring within the soil mass.Additionally,dimensionless characteristic parameters reflecting the relative stiffness between the umbrella arch structure and the foundation soil are proposed.Results indicate that the magnitude of soil characteristic parameters significantly influences the deformation and internal forces of the umbrella arch.Within common ranges of soil values,the maximum deformation and internal forces of the umbrella arch under semi-logarithmic coordinates exhibit nearly linear decay with decreasing soil characteristic parameters.The impact of tunnel excavation height on the stress of unsupported sections of the umbrella arch is minor,but it is more significant for umbrella arch buried within the soil mass.Conversely,the influence of tunnel excavation advance on the umbrella arch is opposite.

文摘The internal solitary wave(ISW)represents a frequent and severe oceanic dynamic phenomenon observed in the South China Sea,exposing marine structures to sudden loads.This paper examines the prediction model of interaction loads between ISW and FPSO,accounting for varying attack angles and incorporating ISW theories.The research demonstrates that the horizontal and transverse forces on FPSO under internal solitary waves(ISWs)comprise wave pressure difference force and viscous force,while the vertical force primarily consists of vertical wave pressure difference force.The wave pressure difference force is determined using the Froude-Krylov equation.The viscous force is derived from the tangential particle velocity induced by ISW and the viscous coefficient.The viscous coefficient formula is obtained through regression analysis of experimental data with different ISW attack angles.The research reveals that the horizontal viscous coefficient C_(vx)decreases as Reynolds number(R_(e))increases,while the transverse viscous coefficient C_(vy)initially increases and subsequently decreases with the growth of the Keulegan-Carpenter number(KC).Moreover,changes in wave propagation direction significantly affect the extreme magnitudes of both horizontal and transverse forces,and simultaneously modify the transverse force orientation,while having minimal impact on the vertical force.Additionally,the forces increase with the ISW’s amplitude.For horizontal and transverse forces,a thinner upper fluid layer generates larger forces.Comparative analysis of experimental,numerical,and theoretical results indicates strong agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental and numerical outcomes.

文摘During fully mechanized caving mining of thick coal seams,a large amount of strain energy accumulates in the roof,especially when the roof is thick and hard,making it difficultfor the roof to collapse naturally.When the roof eventually collapses,the accumulated energy is released instantaneously,exerting a strong impact on the roadway.To address this issue,we proposed the synergistic control method of directional comprehensive pressure relief and energy-absorbing support(PREA)for roadways with hard roofs.In this study,we developed a three-dimensional physical model test apparatus for roof cutting and pressure relief.The 122108 ventilation roadway at the Caojiatan Coal Mine,which has a thick and hard roof,was taken as the engineering example.We analyzed the evolution patterns of stress and displacement in both the stope and the roadway surrounding rocks under different schemes.The PREA reinforcement mechanism for the roadway was investigated through comparative model tests between the new and original methods.The results showed that,compared to the original method,the new method reduced surrounding rock stress by up to 60.4%,and the roadway convergence decreased by up to 52.1%.Based on these results,we proposed corresponding engineering recommendations,which can guide fieldreinforcement design and application.The results demonstrate that the PREA method effectively reduces stress and ensures the safety and stability of the roadway.

文摘Heterogeneous composites have strong anisotropy and are prone to dynamic recrystallization during hot compression,making the me-chanical response highly nonlinear.Therefore,it is a very challenging task to intellectually judge the thermal deformation characteristics of magnesium matrix composites(MgMCs).In view of this,this paper introduces a method to accurately solve the thermoplastic deformation of composites.Firstly,a hot compression constitutive model of magnesium matrix composites based on stress softening correction was established.Secondly,the complex quasi-realistic micromechanics modeling of heterogeneous magnesium matrix composites was conducted.By introducing the recrystallization softening factor and strain parameter into the constitutive equation,the accurate prediction of the global rheological response of the composites was realized,and the accuracy of the new constitutive model was proved.Finally,the thermal pro-cessing map of magnesium matrix composites was established,and the suitable processing range was chosen.This paper has certain guiding values for the prediction of the thermodynamic response and thermal processing of magnesium matrix composites.

文摘In this work,the microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior of extruded SiC/ZA63 Mg matrix composites are investigated via combined experimental study and three-dimensionalfinite element modelling(3D FEM)based on the actual 3D microstructure achieved by synchrotron tomography.The results show that the average grain size of composite increases from 0.57μm of 8μm-SiC/ZA63 to 8.73μm of 50μm-SiC/ZA63.The type of texture transforms from the typicalfiber texture in 8μm-SiC/ZA63 to intense basal texture in 50μm-SiC/ZA63 composite and the intensity of texture increases sharply with increase of SiC particle size.The dynamic recrystallization(DRX)mechanism is also changed with increasing SiC particle size.Experimental and simulation results verify that the strength and elongation both decrease with increase of SiC particle size.The 8μm-SiC/ZA63 composite possesses the optimal mechanical property with yield strength(YS)of 383 MPa,ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of 424 MPa and elongation of 6.3%.The outstanding mechanical property is attributed to the ultrafine grain size,high-density precipitates and dislocation,good loading transfer effect and the interface bonding between SiC and matrix,as well as the weakened basal texture.The simulation results reveal that the micro-cracks tend to initiate at the interface between SiC and matrix,and then propagate along the interface between particle and Mg matrix or at the high strain and stress regions,and further connect with other micro-cracks.The main fracture mechanism in 8μm-SiC/ZA63 composite is ductile damage of matrix and interfacial debonding.With the increase of particle size,interface strength and particle strength decrease,and interface debonding and particle rupture become the main fracture mechanism in the 30μm-and 50μm-SiC/ZA63 composites.

文摘Continuous Fiber-reinforced Metal Matrix Composites(CFMMCs),such as Si C fiberreinforced TC17 matrix composites(SiC_(f)/TC17),are renowned for their exceptional mechanical properties.However,their heterogeneous compositions present significant machining challenges,including fiber pullout,matrix cracking,and accelerated tool wear.Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Grinding(UVAG)has proven to be an effective technique for overcoming these challenges.The material removal mechanisms in UVAG,especially in composites with both ductile and brittle phases,remain poorly understood.To explore these issues,UVAG and Conventional Grinding(CG)experiments were conducted on SiC_(f)/TC17 along two grinding directions:fiber's transverse direction(FT)and fiber's longitudinal direction(FL).This paper aims to provide a new dynamic mechanical model and shed light on the complex removal mechanisms in CFMMCs,which are characterized by a near one-to-one alternation of ductile and brittle phases.The findings reveal that UVAG reduces fiber damage and surface roughness compared to CG,especially when grinding along FT.UVAG lowers normal(F_(n))and tangential grinding forces(F_(t))by 15.3%and 12.3%,respectively.This highlights UVAG's potential for improving the machinability of complex materials like CFMMCs.The proposed grinding force model closely matches the experimental results.This paper hopes to support the precision abrasive machining of CFMMCs,a kind of complex and highly anisotropic composite material,and promote their application in the fields such as aerospace.
