Local stress/strain calculation methods are applied to determine the initial crush stresses and the strain rates at initial crush from a cell-based finite element model of irregular honeycomb under dynamic loadings. The initial crush stress under constant-velocity compression is identical to the quasi-static one, but less than the one under direct impact, i.e. the initial crush stresses under different dynamic loadings could be very different even though there is no strain-rate effect of matrix material. A power-law relation between the initial crush stress and the strain rate is explored to describe the strain-rate effect on the initial crush stress of irregular honeycomb when the local strain rate exceeds a critical value, below which there is no strain-rate effect of irregular honeycomb. Deformation mechanisms of the initial crush behavior under dynamic loadings are also explored.The deformation modes of the initial crush region in the front of plastic compaction wave are different under different dynamic loadings.展开更多

The time and cost needed for conducting precise experimental investigation on shear behavior of unsaturated soils have encouraged several investigators to develop analytical, empirical, or semi-empirical models for predicting the shear behavior of unsaturated soils. However, most of the previously proposed models are for specimens subjected to the isotropic state of stress, without considering the effect of initial shear stress. In this study, a hydromechanical constitutive model is proposed for unsaturated collapsible soils during shearing, with consideration of the effect of the initial shear stress. The model implements an effective stress-based disturbed state concept (DSC) to predict the stress-strain behavior of the soil. Accordingly, material/state variables were defined for both the start of the shearing stage and the critical state of the soil. A series of laboratory tests was performed using a fully automated unsaturated triaxial device to verify the proposed model. The experimental program included 23 suction-controlled unsaturated triaxial shear tests on reconstituted specimens of Gorgan clayey loess wetted to different levels of suctions under both isotropic and anisotropic stress states. The results show excellent agreement between the prediction by the proposed model and the experimental results.展开更多

文摘In this paper,we use the Riemann-Hilbert(RH)method to investigate the Cauchy problem of the reverse space-time nonlocal Hirota equation with step-like initial data:q(z,0)=o(1)as z→-∞and q(z,0)=δ+o(1)as z→∞,whereδis an arbitrary positive constant.We show that the solution of the Cauchy problem can be determined by the solution of the corresponding matrix RH problem established on the plane of complex spectral parameterλ.As an example,we construct an exact solution of the reverse space-time nonlocal Hirota equation in a special case via this RH problem.

文摘Pangu-Weather(PGW),trained with deep learning–based methods(DL-based model),shows significant potential for global medium-range weather forecasting.However,the interpretability and trustworthiness of global medium-range DLbased models raise many concerns.This study uses the singular vector(SV)initial condition(IC)perturbations of the China Meteorological Administration's Global Ensemble Prediction System(CMA-GEPS)as inputs of PGW for global ensemble prediction(PGW-GEPS)to investigate the ensemble forecast sensitivity of DL-based models to the IC errors.Meanwhile,the CMA-GEPS forecasts serve as benchmarks for comparison and verification.The spatial structures and prediction performance of PGW-GEPS are discussed and compared to CMA-GEPS based on seasonal ensemble experiments.The results show that the ensemble mean and dispersion of PGW-GEPS are similar to those of CMA-GEPS in the medium range but with smoother forecasts.Meanwhile,PGW-GEPS is sensitive to the SV IC perturbations.Specifically,PGWGEPS can generate realistic ensemble spread beyond the sub-synoptic scale(wavenumbers≤64)with SV IC perturbations.However,PGW's kinetic energy is significantly reduced at the sub-synoptic scale,leading to error growth behavior inconsistent with CMA-GEPS at that scale.Thus,this behavior indicates that the effective resolution of PGW-GEPS is beyond the sub-synoptic scale and is limited to predicting mesoscale atmospheric motions.In terms of the global mediumrange ensemble prediction performance,the probability prediction skill of PGW-GEPS is comparable to CMA-GEPS in the extratropic when they use the same IC perturbations.That means that PGW has a general ability to provide skillful global medium-range forecasts with different ICs from numerical weather prediction.

文摘Physics informed neural networks(PINNs)are a deep learning approach designed to solve partial differential equations(PDEs).Accurately learning the initial conditions is crucial when employing PINNs to solve PDEs.However,simply adjusting weights and imposing hard constraints may not always lead to better learning of the initial conditions;sometimes it even makes it difficult for the neural networks to converge.To enhance the accuracy of PINNs in learning the initial conditions,this paper proposes a novel strategy named causally enhanced initial conditions(CEICs).This strategy works by embedding a new loss in the loss function:the loss is constructed by the derivative of the initial condition and the derivative of the neural network at the initial condition.Furthermore,to respect the causality in learning the derivative,a novel causality coefficient is introduced for the training when selecting multiple derivatives.Additionally,because CEICs can provide more accurate pseudo-labels in the first subdomain,they are compatible with the temporal-marching strategy.Experimental results demonstrate that CEICs outperform hard constraints and improve the overall accuracy of pre-training PINNs.For the 1D-Korteweg–de Vries,reaction and convection equations,the CEIC method proposed in this paper reduces the relative error by at least 60%compared to the previous methods.

文摘Infrastructure construction in seasonally frozen regions,covering 23%of total land,faces challenges from freeze-thaw(F-T)induced damages.Expansive soils,as an important problematic soil undergo major hydromechanical properties changes influenced by F-T cycles.Sand-bentonite mixtures are extensively used for constructing earthen hydraulic barriers in cold regions.This study investigates the influence of F-T cycles on multi-directional strains and anisotropic hydraulic conductivity of different sand-bentonite mixtures prepared at optimum water content and experienced three distinct saturation levels.Results indicate that saturation level and bentonite content significantly influence volumetric strain under F-T cycles.The simultaneous effect of ice lens formation,expanding micro-voids,and suction generated by freezing processes cause different volumetric behaviors at varying saturation degrees.The dry specimen exhibits no strain under F-T cycles,while optimum and saturated specimens experienced final volumetric strains of 1.02%and 3.03%,respectively.Notably,during freezing,the specimen at optimumwater content shrank,while the saturated specimen expanded.Increasing bentonite content from 40%to 70%developed freezing-induced shrinkage,from 1.73%to 4.72%,with higher thaw strain attributed to increased specimen plasticity.Also,dimensional variations revealed the cross-anisotropic nature of specimens,highlighting direct influence of water content on the shrinkage ratio.F-T cycles also increased hydraulic conductivity along both orthogonal directions by two orders of magnitude,while the anisotropy ratio decreased by about 3 after 9 F-T cycles,indicating altered pore structures.F-T cycles induce reduced swelling potential and compressibility over subsequent cycles.Microstructural observations also confirmed the F-T effects on the enhancement of porosity.

文摘The initial stresses widely exist in elastic materials.While achieving a continuum stress-free configuration through compatible unloading is desirable,mechanical unloading alone frequently proves insufficient,posing challenges in avoiding virtual stress-free configurations.In this paper,we introduce a novel concept of equivalent temperature variation to counteract the incompatible initial strain.Our focus is on initially stressed cylindrical and spherical elastomers,where we first derive the Saint-Venant,Beltrami-Michell,and Volterra integral conditions in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates using the exterior differential form theory.It is shown that for any given axially or spherically distributed initial stress,an equivalent temperature variation always exists.Furthermore,we propose two innovative initial stress forms based on the steady-state heat conduction.By introducing an equivalent temperature variation,the initial stress can be released through a compatible thermo-mechanical unloading process,offering valuable insights into the constitutive theory of initially stressed elastic materials.
文摘Recent advancements in computational and database technologies have led to the exponential growth of large-scale medical datasets,significantly increasing data complexity and dimensionality in medical diagnostics.Efficient feature selection methods are critical for improving diagnostic accuracy,reducing computational costs,and enhancing the interpretability of predictive models.Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),a widely used metaheuristic inspired by swarm intelligence,has shown considerable promise in feature selection tasks.However,conventional PSO often suffers from premature convergence and limited exploration capabilities,particularly in high-dimensional spaces.To overcome these limitations,this study proposes an enhanced PSO framework incorporating Orthogonal Initializa-tion and a Crossover Operator(OrPSOC).Orthogonal Initialization ensures a diverse and uniformly distributed initial particle population,substantially improving the algorithm’s exploration capability.The Crossover Operator,inspired by genetic algorithms,introduces additional diversity during the search process,effectively mitigating premature convergence and enhancing global search performance.The effectiveness of OrPSOC was rigorously evaluated on three benchmark medical datasets—Colon,Leukemia,and Prostate Tumor.Comparative analyses were conducted against traditional filter-based methods,including Fast Clustering-Based Feature Selection Technique(Fast-C),Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance(MinRedMaxRel),and Five-Way Joint Mutual Information(FJMI),as well as prominent metaheuristic algorithms such as standard PSO,Ant Colony Optimization(ACO),Comprehensive Learning Gravitational Search Algorithm(CLGSA),and Fuzzy-Based CLGSA(FCLGSA).Experimental results demonstrated that OrPSOC consistently outperformed these existing methods in terms of classification accuracy,computational efficiency,and result stability,achieving significant improvements even with fewer selected features.Additionally,a sensitivity analysis of the crossover parameter provided valuable insights into parameter tuning and its impact on model performance.These findings highlight the superiority and robustness of the proposed OrPSOC approach for feature selection in medical diagnostic applications and underscore its potential for broader adoption in various high-dimensional,data-driven fields.

文摘Cryogenic steels,i.e.,steels with maximum toughness at particularly low temperature,are increasingly becoming the focus of research.Cryogenic steels are usually alloyed with 5%–9%nickel.Ni can also be substituted by manganese as an austenite former.These high-manganese cryogenic grades are a cost-effective alternative to nickel-alloyed steels for use in liquefied natural gas storage tanks.The Mn content can then be more than 20 wt.%and lead to problems in production,particularly in the continuous casting process.In continuous casting of high-Mn-grades,quality issues and even breakout may result from the initial solidification behavior of the steel grades at high temperatures.Hot cracks form when a critical load is exceeded during solidification,close to the solidus temperature of the steel.A selected high-Mn-steel grade was characterized with respect to liquidus and solidus temperatures by means of thermal analysis and computational thermodynamics.In addition,so-called submerged split chill tensile tests were carried out to further understand the crack sensitivity of the solidifying shell for high-manganese cryogenic steels.The results reveal the presence of coarse hot tears,and also,a high frequency of hot cracks was observed at the location with the maximum accumulated strain,which is in line with the applied cracking criterion of Pierer and Bernhard for this investigation.In summary,the initial solidification phase of continuous casting poses a high risk of cracking for high-manganese cryogenic steel.

文摘The safety of the initial support during the construction of inclined shafts in tunnels traversing through high-hydraulic-pressure surrounding rocks is paramount.This study examines a high-hydraulic-pressure inclined shaft of a tunnel in Western Sichuan Province to analyze the damage characteristics of the initial support and propose a radial drainage and decompression treatment method.Field monitoring was conducted to assess the load and deformation of the initial support structure,and on-site investigations identified the distribution of cracked areas.In addition,numerical simulations were performed to evaluate the force and deformation characteristics of the initial support structure,which were then compared with field observations for validation.The variations in the lateral pressure coefficient and water pressure were evaluated.The results revealed that damage was primarily concentrated in the shoulder,spring line,and knee areas,with the bending moment at the knee increasing by up to 66.9%.The application of the radial drainage and decompression treatment method effectively reduced water pressure loads on the initial support.Post-treatment analysis indicated significant reductions in axial force and bending moment,enhancing structural stability.These findings provide valuable insights for improving the safety and durability of initial support systems in inclined shafts of high-hydraulicpressure railroad tunnels.

文摘This paper presents an analysis of an equilateral triangular array formation initialization for space-based gravitational wave observatory(GWO)near Lagrange points in the circular-restricted three-body problem.A stable configuration is essential for the continuous observation of gravitational waves(GWs).However,the motion near the collinear libration points is highly unstable.This problem is examined by output regulation theory.Using the tracking aspect,the equilateral triangular array formation is established in two periods and the fuel consumption is calculated.Furthermore,the natural evolution of the formation without control input is analyzed,and the effective stability duration is quantified to determine the timing of control interventions.Finally,to observe the GWs in same direction with different frequency bands,scale reconfiguration is employed.

文摘C/SiO_(x)anode with higher capacity and lower lithiation potential has been recognized as a nextgeneration alternative to graphite for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries.However,C/SiO_(x)suffers from low initial Coulombic efficiency(ICE),which significantly hinders its practical application.Herein,we reported a straightforward iodine redox chemistry strategy to realize highly reversible Li storage behavior and remarkably enhanced ICE of high-capacity C/SiO_(x)anode toward long-life lithium-ion batteries.Specifically,I2is introduced into porous C/SiO_(x)via simple fumigation to synthesize their composite(C/SiO_(x)@I),in which I_(2)can effectively inhibit the irreversible lithiation reactions of SiO_(x)through redox reaction.Further,redox reaction intermediates of LiI_(3)and LiIO_(3)can inhibit the decomposition of electrolyte and LiPF6,thereby reducing the thickness of the solid-electrolyte interphase film.Consequently,the obtained C/SiO_(x)@I exhibits a considerable capacity of 1241 mAh g^(-1)with an improved ICE of 88.5%at 0.1 A g^(-1)and impressive cyclability,showing capacity retention of 95%after 700 cycles at5.0 A g^(-1).Besides,the C/SiO_(x)@I with a 12%addition ratio can greatly enhance the capacity of graphite from 352 to 454 mAh g^(-1),with negligible impact on its ICE.When the addition ratio is 9%,the energy density of the 18,650 cylindrical battery composed of graphite and Li[Ni_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)]O_(2)can be enhanced by approximately 25 Wh kg^(-1).This study opens a new avenue for developing high ICE in SiO_(x)-based anodes for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries.
