This paper, however,shows that syn-kinematic (extensional) elliptic granitic plutons in the Yagan-Onch Hayrhanmetamorphic core complex (MCC) have relatively strong forceful emplacement, which are indicated by(1) concentric distribution of the rock units, (2) a strain pattern with strong strains on themargins and low strains at the centre of a pluton, and particularly (3) syn-emplacement shorteningof the host rocks within the aureole. The strain analysis for the host rocks shows that thehost-rock ductile shortening, i.e. forceful emplacement, provides about 16-24 percent of theemplacement space for the present plutons. All these suggest that forceful emplacement occurs notonly in a compressional tectonic setting, but also in an extensional setting. This study furtherdemonstrates the significance of the multiple emplacement of granitic plutons and provides newinformation about the causality between granitic magmatism and the formation of the MCC and itsdynamics.展开更多

文摘Nowadays,force sensors play an important role in industrial production,electronic information,medical health,and many other fields.Two-dimensional material-based filed effect transistor(2D-FET)sensors are competitive with nano-level size,lower power consumption,and accurate response.However,few of them has the capability of impulse detection which is a path function,expressing the cumulative effect of the force on the particle over a period of time.Herein we fabricated the flexible polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA)gate dielectric MoS_(2)-FET for force and impulse sensor application.We systematically investigated the responses of the sensor to constant force and varying forces,and achieved the conversion factors of the drain current signals(I_(ds))to the detected impulse(I).The applied force was detected and recorded by I_(ds)with a low power consumption of~30 nW.The sensitivity of the device can reach~8000%and the 4×1 sensor array is able to detect and locate the normal force applied on it.Moreover,there was almost no performance loss for the device as left in the air for two months.

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The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau of China faces challenges like thaw slumping,threatening slope stability and infrastructure.Understanding the mechanical properties of the roots of the dominant herbaceous plant species in the alpine meadow layer of the permafrost regions on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is essential for evaluating their role in enhancing soil shear strength and mitigating slope deformation in these fragile environments.In this study,the roots of four dominant herbaceous plant species—Kobresia pygmaea,Kobresia humilis,Carex moorcroftii,and Leontopodium pusillum—that are widely distributed in the permafrost regions of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau were explored to determine their mechanical properties and effects in enhancing soil shear strength.Through indoor single root tensile and root group tensile tests,we determined the root diameter,tensile force,tensile strength,tensile ratio,and strength frequency distributions.We also evaluated their contributions to inhibiting slope deformation and failure during the formation and development of thermal thaw slumps in the alpine meadow.The results showed that the distribution of the root diameter of the dominant plant species is mostly normal,while the tensile strength tends to be logarithmically normally distributed.The relationship between the root diameter and root tensile strength conforms to a power function.The theoretical tensile strength of the root group was calculated using the Wu-Waldron Model(WWM)and the Fiber Bundle Model(FBM)under the assumption that the cumulative single tensile strength of the root bundle is identical to the tensile strength of the root group in the WWM.The FBM considers three fracture modes:FBM-D(the tensile force on each single root is proportional to its diameter relative to the total sum of all the root diameters),FBM-S(the cross-sectional stress in the root bundle is uniform),and FBM-N(each tensile strength test of individual roots experiences an equal load).It was found that the model-calculated tensile strength of the root group was 162.60%higher than the test value.The model-derived tensile force of the root group from the FBM-D,FBM-S,and FBM-N was 73.10%,28.91%,and 13.47%higher than the test values,respectively.The additional cohesion of the soil provided by the roots was calculated to be 25.90-45.06 kPa using the modified WWM,67.05-38.15 kPa using the FBM-S,and 57.24-32.74 kPa using the FBM-N.These results not only provide a theoretical basis for further quantitative evaluation of the mechanical effects of the root systems of herbaceous plant species in reinforcing the surface soil but also have practical significance for the effective prevention and control of thermal thaw slumping disasters in the permafrost regions containing native alpine meadows on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau using flexible plant protection measures.

文摘The microstructure of(Nd,Ce)-Fe-B sintered magnets with different diffusion depths was characterized by a magnetic force microscope,and the relationship between the magnetic properties and the local structure of grain boundary diffused magnets is discussed.The domains perpendicular to the c-axis(easy magnetization direction)show a typical maze-like pattern,while those parallel to the c-axis show the characte ristics of plate domains.The significant gradient change is shown in the concentration of Dy with the direction of diffusion from the surface to the interior.Dy diffuses along grain boundaries and(Dy,Nd)_(2)Fe_(14)B layer with a high anisotropy field formed around the grains.Through in-situ electron probe micro-analysis/magnetic force microscopy(EPMA/MFM),it is found that the average domain width decreases,and the proportion of single domain grains increases as diffusion depth increases.This is caused by both the change of concentration and distribution of Dy.The grain boundary diffusion process changes the microstructure and microchemistry inside the magnet,and these local magnetism differences can be reflected by the configuration of the magnetic domain structure.

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Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation(AMOC)plays a central role in long-term climate variations through its heat and freshwater transports,which can collapse under a rapid increase of greenhouse gas forcing in climate models.Previous studies have suggested that the deviation of model parameters is one of the major factors in inducing inaccurate AMOC simulations.In this work,with a low-resolution earth system model,the authors try to explore whether a reasonable adjustment of the key model parameter can help to re-establish the AMOC after its collapse.Through a new optimization strategy,the extra freshwater flux(FWF)parameter is determined to be the dominant one affecting the AMOC’s variability.The traditional ensemble optimal interpolation(EnOI)data assimilation and new machine learning methods are adopted to optimize the FWF parameter in an abrupt 4×CO_(2) forcing experiment to improve the adaptability of model parameters and accelerate the recovery of AMOC.The results show that,under an abrupt 4×CO_(2) forcing in millennial simulations,the AMOC will first collapse and then re-establish by the default FWF parameter slowly.However,during the parameter adjustment process,the saltier and colder sea water over the North Atlantic region are the dominant factors in usefully improving the adaptability of the FWF parameter and accelerating the recovery of AMOC,according to their physical relationship with FWF on the interdecadal timescale.
文摘Mooring cable tension is a crucial parameter for evaluating the safety and reliability of a floating platform mooring system.The real-time mooring tension in an actual marine environment has always been essential data that mooring system designers aim to acquire.To address the need for long-term continuous monitoring of mooring tension in deep-sea marine environments,this paper presents a mooring cable tension monitoring method based on the principle of direct mechanical measurement.The developed tension monitoring sensors were installed and applied in the mooring system of the"Yongle"scientific experimental platform.Over the course of one year,a substantial amount of in-situ tension monitoring data was obtained.Under wave heights of up to 1.24 m,the mooring tension on the floating platform reached 16.5 tons.Through frequency domain and time domain analysis,the spectral characteristics of mooring tension,including waveinduced force,slow drift force,and mooring cable elastic restoring force,were determined.The mooring cable elastic restoring force frequency was approximately half of that of the wave signal.Due to the characteristics of the hinge connection structure of the dual module floating platform,under some specific working conditions the wave-induced force was the maximum of the three different frequency forces,and restoring force was the smallest.
文摘As a typical steel,the fatigue of marine high-strength steels has been emphasized by scholars.In this paper,the fatigue performance and crack growth mechanism of a high-strength steel for ships are investigated by experimental methods.First,the fatigue threshold test and fatigue crack growth rate test of this high-strength steel under different stress ratios were carried out.The influence of stress ratio on the fatigue properties of this steel was analyzed.Secondly,scanning electron microscope was used to analyze the crack growth specimen section of this steel.The crack growth and failure mechanism of this steel were revealed.Finally,based on the above research results,the stress ratio effect of high-strength steel was investigated from the perspectives of crack closure and driving force.Considering the fatigue behavior in the near-threshold stage and the destabilization stage,a fatigue crack growth behavior prediction model of highstrength steel was established.The accuracy of the model was verified by test data.Moreover,the applicability of the modified model to various materials and its excellent predictive ability were verified through comparison with literature data and existing models.

文摘This work presents a method for the three-dimensional localization of individual shallow NV center in diamond,leveraging the near-field quenching effect of a gold tip.Our experimental setup involves the use of an atomic force microscope to precisely move the gold tip close to the NV center,while simultaneously employing a home-made confocal microscope to monitor the fluorescence of the NV center.This approach allows for lateral super-resolution,achieving a full width at half maximum(FWHM)of 38.0 nm and a location uncertainty of 0.7 nm.Additionally,we show the potential of this method for determining the depth of the NV centers.We also attempt to determine the depth of the NV centers in combination with finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)simulations.Compared to other depth determination methods,this approach allows for simultaneous lateral and longitudinal localization of individual NV centers,and holds promise for facilitating manipulation of the local environment surrounding the NV center.
