Non-stationary changes in flight state due to abrupt changes in maneuver modes place high demands on the accuracy of modeling methods. To address this issue, a novel maneuver laws modeling and analysis method based on higher order multi-resolution dynamic mode decomposition(HMDMD) is proposed in this work. A joint time-space-frequency decomposition of the vehicle's state sequence in the complex flight scenario is achieved with the higher order Koopman assumption and standard multi-resolution dynamic mode decomposition, and an approximate dynamic model is established. The maneuver laws can be reconstructed and analyzed with extracted multi-scale spatiotemporal modes with clear physical meaning. Based on the dynamic model of HGV, two flight scenarios are established with constant angle of attack and complex maneuver laws, respectively. Simulation results demonstrate that the maneuver laws obtained using the HMDMD method are highly consistent with those derived from the real dynamic model, the modeling accuracy is better than other common modeling methods, and the method has strong interpretability.展开更多

文摘When a ceramic ionic-crystal nanocluster is group-substituted with polymer chain segments to form an ionomeric aggregate,is the ordered structure maintained within the sterically hindered nanocluster?We observed,for Na-salt sulfonated polystyrene ionomer,the electron-diffraction lattice fringes of the nanoclusters,which proved their internal crystalline ordering driven by electrostatic attractions overcoming steric hindrance.Kinetically,the nanoclusters'enhanced melting endotherm upon aging indicate their quasi-,slow-ordering character.Extended tight binding molecular dynamics simulations provide an insight into the mechanism underlying the ionic-group aggregation during nanoclustering.We hence proposed an uncommon state of order,polymer-bound ceramic quasicrystal,supplementary to the order phenomena in crystalline ceramics.

文摘Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to study the effect of chemical short-range order(CSRO)on the primary radiation damage in TiVTaNb high-entropy alloys(HEAs).We have performed displacement cascade simulations to explore the CSRO effect on the generation and evolution behaviors of irradiation defects.The results demonstrate that CSRO can suppress the formation of Frenkel pairs in TiVTaNb HEAs,with the suppression effect becoming more pronounced as the degree of CSRO increases.CSRO can change the types of interstitial defects generated during cascade collisions.Specifically,as the degree of CSRO increases,the proportion of Ti-related interstitials shows a marked enhancement,primarily evidenced by a significant rise in Ti–Ti dumbbells accompanied by a corresponding decrease in Ti–V dumbbells.CSRO exhibits negligible influence on defect clustering and the nucleation and evolution of dislocation loops.Regardless of CSRO conditions,TiVTaNb HEAs preserve exceptional radiation tolerance throughout the cascade damage process,suggesting that the intrinsic properties of this multi-principal element system dominate its radiation response.These findings provide fundamental insights into the CSRO effect on defect formation and evolution behaviors in HEAs,which may provide new design strategies for high-entropy alloys.

文摘While 2D/3D heterostructures are widely employed to improve the stability of perovskite optoelectronic devices,their effectiveness is fundamentally governed by the crystallinity of the interfacial structure -a factor often overlooked.Disordered interfaces exhibit thermodynamic metastability,where ion diffusion induces sequential phase transitions from low-n to high-n phases.Here,we construct atomically ordered 2D/3D interfaces using phase-pure 2D perovskite capping layers,which reduce the interfacial phase transition rate by 95%and effectively suppress ion migration.As a result,devices exhibit outstanding operational stability,retaining over 99%of their initial power conversion efficiency after 1500 h of continuous operation,along with excellent thermal durability at 85℃.These findings identify interfacial order as a critical parameter for regulating ion dynamics and phase behavior,providing a robust design principle for achieving high-efficiency,long-lifetime perovskite technologies.

文摘To address the issue that hybrid flow shop production struggles to handle order disturbance events,a dynamic scheduling model was constructed.The model takes minimizing the maximum makespan,delivery time deviation,and scheme deviation degree as the optimization objectives.An adaptive dynamic scheduling strategy based on the degree of order disturbance is proposed.An improved multi-objective Grey Wolf(IMOGWO)optimization algorithm is designed by combining the“job-machine”two-layer encoding strategy,the timing-driven two-stage decoding strategy,the opposition-based learning initialization population strategy,the POX crossover strategy,the dualoperation dynamic mutation strategy,and the variable neighborhood search strategy for problem solving.A variety of test cases with different scales were designed,and ablation experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the improved strategies.The results show that each improved strategy can effectively enhance the performance of the IMOGWO.Additionally,performance analysis was conducted by comparing the proposed algorithm with three mature and classical algorithms.The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior performance in solving the hybrid flow-shop scheduling problem(HFSP).Case validations were conducted for different types of order disturbance scenarios.The results demonstrate that the proposed adaptive dynamic scheduling strategy and the IMOGWO algorithm can effectively address order disturbance events.They enable rapid response to order disturbance while ensuring the stability of the production system.
文摘Climate model prediction has been improved by enhancing model resolution as well as the implementation of sophisticated physical parameterization and refinement of data assimilation systems[section 6.1 in Wang et al.(2025)].In relation to seasonal forecasting and climate projection in the East Asian summer monsoon season,proper simulation of the seasonal migration of rain bands by models is a challenging and limiting factor[section 7.1 in Wang et al.(2025)].
