Generally, the FGM layer is very thin compared with the characteristic length of the structural component, and the nonhomogeneity exists only in the thin layer. Based on these features, by choosing a small parameter I which characterizes the stiffness of the layer relative to the component, and expanding the stresses and displacements on the two sides of the interface according to the parameter lambda, then asymptotically using the continuity conditions of the stresses and displacements on the interface, a decoupling computing process of the coupling control equations of the layer and the structural component is realized. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the application of the method proposed.展开更多

The microstructure of the electroformed copper layer was observed by using an optical microscope （OM） and a scanning electron microscope （SEM）. The preferred orientations of the layer were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The mechanical properties were evaluated with a Vicker＇s hardness tester and a tensile tester. It is found the gradient microstructure consists of two main parts： the outer part （faraway substrate） with columnar crystals and the inner part （nearby substrate） with equiaxed grains. The Cu-（220） preferred orientation increases with the increasing thickness of the copper layer. The test results show that the microhardness of the electroformed copper layer decreases with increasing grain size along the growth direction and presents a gradient distribution. The tensile strength of the outer part of the electroformed copper layer is higher than that of the inner part but at the cost of ductility. Meanwhile, the integral mechanical properties of the electroformed copper with gradient microstrucmre are significantly improved in comparison with the pure copper deposit.展开更多

However, the effect of APG on this outer peak is not clearly understood. In this paper, the effect of APG is analysed using the numerical and experimental results in the literature. Because the effect of upstream flow is inherent in the TBL, we first analyse this effect in TBLs with zero pressure gradient on flat plates. Under the individual effect of upstream flow, an outer peak already appears in the profile of streamwise Reynolds stress when the TBL continues developing in the streamwise direction. The APG accelerates the appearance of the outer peak, instead of being a trigger.展开更多

However, the improvement in permeance is impeded by the substrates with low permeances. Herein,highly permeable gradient phenolic membranes with tight selectivity are used as substrates to prepare TFC membranes with high permeances by the layer-by-layer assembly method. The negatively charged phenolic substrates are alternately assembled with polycation polyethylenimine(PEI) and polyanion poly(acrylic acid)(PAA)as a result of electrostatic interactions, forming thin and compact PEI/PAA layers tightly attached to the substrate surface. Benefiting from the high permeances and tight surface pores of the gradient nanoporous structures of the substrates, the produced PEI/PAA membranes exhibit a permeance up to 506 L? m-2?h-1?MPa-1, which is ~2–10 times higher than that of other membranes with similar rejections. The PEI/PAA membranes are capable of retaining N 96.1% of negatively charged dyes following the mechanism of electrostatic repulsion. We demonstrate that the membranes can also separate positively and neutrally charged dyes from water via other mechanisms.This work opens a new avenue for the design and preparation of high-flux NF membranes, which is also applicable to enhance the permeance of other TFC membranes.展开更多

The goal of the present study was to develop a multi-layered gradient HA/PVA gel biocomposites through layer-by-layer casting method combing with freeze/thaw cycle technology. The various influence factors on the compressive strength and modulus of the multi-layered gradient biocomposites were investigated. The results showed that the compressive mechanical characteristics of the biocomposites were similar to that of natural articular cartilage. Both the compressive strength and modulus of the multi-layered gradient HA/PVA gel biocomposites increased exponentially with the rise of compressive strain ratio. Both the compressive strength and average compressive modulus of the biocomposites improved with the rise of freeze/thaw cycle times and total concentration of HA particles in the biocomposites, but they showed decreasing tendency with the rise of HA concentration difference between adjacent layers.展开更多

Reciprocating dry and oil-lubricated sliding tests of the GNG 316L SS in air at room temperature were conducted in comparison with the coarse-grained （CG） counterpart. Worn surface morphologies and subsurface microstructures were investigated for both 316L SS samples. 316L SS with a GNG surface layer shows a significantly improved wear resistance, especially under oil-lubricated condition. The notably wear resistance enhancement of the GNG 316L SS is attributed to the GNG surface layer with high strain accommodation ability and high hardness, which can reduce the wear volume in the running-in stage effectively.展开更多

Using the ...A terrain-following coordinate （a-coordinate） in which the computational form of pressure gradient force （PGF） is two-term （the so-called classic method） has significant PGF errors near steep terrain. Using the covariant equations of the a-coordinate to create a one-term PGF （the covariant method） can reduce the PGF errors. This study investigates the factors inducing the PGF errors of these two methods, through geometric analysis and idealized experiments. The geometric analysis first demonstrates that the terrain slope and the vertical pressure gradient can induce the PGF errors of the classic method, and then generalize the effect of the terrain slope to the effect of the slope of each vertical layer （φ）. More importantly, a new factor, the direction of PGF （a）, is proposed by the geometric analysis, and the effects of φ and a are quantified by tan φ.tan a. When tan φ.tan a is greater than 1/9 or smaller than -10/9, the two terms of PGF of the classic method are of the same order but opposite in sign, and then the PGF errors of the classic method are large. Finally, the effects of three factors on inducing the PGF errors of the classic method are validated by a series of idealized experiments using various terrain types and pressure fields. The experimental results also demonstrate that the PGF errors of the covariant method are affected little by the three factors.展开更多

The relationship between the pressure gradient, as well as the shear layer, and the development of turbulent kinetic energy in impinging shock-wave/turbulent bound- ary layer interaction flow at Mach 2.25 is analyzed based on the data of direct numerical simulation （DNS）. It is found that the turbulent kinetic energy is amplified by strong shear in the separation zone and the adverse pressure gradient near the separation point. The pressure gradient was non-dimensionalised with local density, velocity, and viscosity. Spalart Allmaras （S A） model is modified by introducing the non-dimensional pressure gradient into the production term of the eddy viscosity transportation equation. Simulation results show that the production and dissipation of eddy viscosity are strongly enhanced by the modification of S-A model. Compared with DNS and experimental data, the wall pressure and the wall skin friction coefficient as well as the velocity profile of the modified S-A model are obviously improved. Thus it can be concluded that the mod- ification of S-A model with the pressure gradient can improve the predictive accuracy for simulat- ing the shock-wave/turbulent boundary laver interaction.展开更多

On this base Liu obtained the frictional stress factor by using the graphical method.In this paper the same variable replacement as in [1] is used and an approximate analytical solution of the laminar boundary layer equations by the series method is obtained. The author also obtains a formula of frictional stress factor. For the case of the main function without the term of constant, the author makes a further simplification. The error of the frictional stress factor obtained by the author is still less than 10%, compared with that of [1].展开更多

文摘The effects of adverse pressure gradient(APG)on Reynolds stresses in turbulent boundary layers(TBLs)with APG were analyzed.The difficulty of this work was attributable to the Reynolds stresses in TBLs with APG under two combined effects,i.e.:effect of upstream flow and effect of APG.The effect of upstream flow is an inherent effect no matter pressure gradient exists or not.The individual effect was analyzed from absolute developments of Reynolds stresses in TBLs with zero pressure gradient(ZPG)firstly.Effect of APG was then analyzed from absolute developments of Reynolds stresses in TBLs with APG.Result showed that,for absolute development of mean streamwise Reynolds stresses,APG accelerated its development in TBL with ZPG;for absolute development of mean normal or shear Reynolds stresses,APG increased their magnitude in the outer part,and decreased their extent of large value region.

文摘A gradient nano-grained （GNG） surface layer was fabricated on an AIS1316L stainless steel （SS） by using the surface mechanical rolling treatment （SMRT）. Reciprocating dry and oil-lubricated sliding tests of the GNG 316L SS in air at room temperature were conducted in comparison with the coarse-grained （CG） counterpart. Worn surface morphologies and subsurface microstructures were investigated for both 316L SS samples. 316L SS with a GNG surface layer shows a significantly improved wear resistance, especially under oil-lubricated condition. The notably wear resistance enhancement of the GNG 316L SS is attributed to the GNG surface layer with high strain accommodation ability and high hardness, which can reduce the wear volume in the running-in stage effectively.

文摘A terrain-following coordinate （a-coordinate） in which the computational form of pressure gradient force （PGF） is two-term （the so-called classic method） has significant PGF errors near steep terrain. Using the covariant equations of the a-coordinate to create a one-term PGF （the covariant method） can reduce the PGF errors. This study investigates the factors inducing the PGF errors of these two methods, through geometric analysis and idealized experiments. The geometric analysis first demonstrates that the terrain slope and the vertical pressure gradient can induce the PGF errors of the classic method, and then generalize the effect of the terrain slope to the effect of the slope of each vertical layer （φ）. More importantly, a new factor, the direction of PGF （a）, is proposed by the geometric analysis, and the effects of φ and a are quantified by tan φ.tan a. When tan φ.tan a is greater than 1/9 or smaller than -10/9, the two terms of PGF of the classic method are of the same order but opposite in sign, and then the PGF errors of the classic method are large. Finally, the effects of three factors on inducing the PGF errors of the classic method are validated by a series of idealized experiments using various terrain types and pressure fields. The experimental results also demonstrate that the PGF errors of the covariant method are affected little by the three factors.

文摘It is of great significance to improve the accuracy of turbulence models in shock-wave/ boundary layer interaction flow. The relationship between the pressure gradient, as well as the shear layer, and the development of turbulent kinetic energy in impinging shock-wave/turbulent bound- ary layer interaction flow at Mach 2.25 is analyzed based on the data of direct numerical simulation （DNS）. It is found that the turbulent kinetic energy is amplified by strong shear in the separation zone and the adverse pressure gradient near the separation point. The pressure gradient was non-dimensionalised with local density, velocity, and viscosity. Spalart Allmaras （S A） model is modified by introducing the non-dimensional pressure gradient into the production term of the eddy viscosity transportation equation. Simulation results show that the production and dissipation of eddy viscosity are strongly enhanced by the modification of S-A model. Compared with DNS and experimental data, the wall pressure and the wall skin friction coefficient as well as the velocity profile of the modified S-A model are obviously improved. Thus it can be concluded that the mod- ification of S-A model with the pressure gradient can improve the predictive accuracy for simulat- ing the shock-wave/turbulent boundary laver interaction.

文摘Investigated in this paper are the effects of strain gradients onthe stress distribution near an interface. The quasi-axis-symmetryinterface problem is solved by using the couple stress theory and theper- turbation method. The results show that a boundary layer existsnear an interface or a fixed boundary, where the shear stressperpendicular to the interface is significantly different from thatobtained from the classical elasticity theory.
文摘Using the pressure gradient as the new variable instead of. the ordinary longitudinal coordinate x, Liu transformed the ordinary laminar boundary equations into a new form. On this base Liu obtained the frictional stress factor by using the graphical method.In this paper the same variable replacement as in [1] is used and an approximate analytical solution of the laminar boundary layer equations by the series method is obtained. The author also obtains a formula of frictional stress factor. For the case of the main function without the term of constant, the author makes a further simplification. The error of the frictional stress factor obtained by the author is still less than 10%, compared with that of [1].
文摘现有的基于双向长短时记忆(BiLSTM)网络的命名实体识别(NER)模型难以全面理解文本的整体语义以及捕捉复杂的实体关系。因此,提出一种基于全域信息融合和多维关系感知的NER模型。首先,通过BERT(Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers)获取输入序列的向量表示,并结合BiLSTM进一步学习输入序列的上下文信息。其次,提出由梯度稳定层和特征融合模块组成的全域信息融合机制:前者使模型保持稳定的梯度传播并更新优化输入序列的表示,后者则融合BiLSTM的前后向表示获取更全面的特征表示。接着,构建多维关系感知结构学习不同子空间单词的关联性,以捕获文档中复杂的实体关系。此外,使用自适应焦点损失函数动态调整不同类别实体的权重,提高模型对少数类实体的识别性能。最后,在7个公开数据集上将所提模型和11个基线模型进行对比,实验结果表明所提模型的F1值均优于对比模型,可见该模型的综合性较优。
