These materials have been used as sorbents. To choose the adequate geological layers for sequestration and with minimum risk of leakage, adsorbent characterizations were investigated using X-ray diffraction, SEM and surface area analysis, structural and textural shapes of these materials have been investigated too. The elution chromatography in gaseous phase has been employed to determine the adsorption isotherms of adsorbed CO2 for each adsorbent. Then, the treatment of the experimental data allowed us to compare each CO2/adsorbent couple. The adsorption isotherms were modeled using the Langmir and Freundlich models. A thermodynamic comparison between the different adsorbents will also be provided. Experimental results show that clay and Triassic sandstone have the highest rate of adsorption amount. It has been also found that the Langmuir model is the most appropriate one to describe the phenomenon of CO2 adsorption on clay. However, for the other adsorbents (i.e. Triassic sandstone and Jurassic evaporates) the two-models are adequate.展开更多

文摘This paper introduces a framework for modeling random fields,with a particular emphasis on analyzing anisotropic spatial variability.It establishes a clear connection between the correlation function and the Kriging variogram across various anisotropic modes,providing mathematical models to enhance our understanding of random fields.A new anisotropy index,called LSAI,is introduced to quantify anisotropy based on the autocorrelation length and the orientation of the principal axes within the variogram.An LSAI value closer to one indicates a lower degree of anisotropy.The present study examines how the degree of anisotropy varies with different autocorrelation lengths and angles between the principal axes,providing valuable insights into these relationships.To improve the accuracy of parameter probability distribution estimations,this study integrates limited field test data using a Bayesian inference approach.Additionally,the Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation method is employed to develop a conditional random field(CRF)for the deformation modulus.By incorporating data from field bearing plate tests,the posterior variance data for the deformation modulus are derived.This process facilitates the construction of a detailed and reliable CRF for the deformation modulus.

文摘Using multi-source reanalysis data,this study examines the relationship between the tropical Pacific-Atlantic SST Dipole Mode(TPA-DM)and summer precipitation in North China(NCSP)on the interannual timescale during the period of 1979-2022.The results show that the TPA-DM,the dominant pattern of interannual variability in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic regions,exhibits a significant negative correlation with NCSP.The positive phase of TPA-DM induces subsidence over the Maritime Continent through a zonal circulation pattern,which initiates a Pacific-Japan-like wave train along the East Asian coast.The circulation anomalies lead to moisture deficits and convergence subsidence over North China,leading to below-normal rainfall.Further analysis reveals that cooler SST in the Southern Tropical Atlantic facilitates the persistence of the TPA-DM by stimulating the anomalous Walker circulation associated with wind-evaporation-SST-convection feedback.
文摘Stator vanes especially vane suction sides of transonic turbines are subjected to high frequency excitation forces under many circumstances,and thus are exposed to the risk of high cycle fatigue.Therefore,it is necessary to reveal the flow mechanism of this kind of excitations for potential prevention measures.In this paper,the traveling shock phenomenon in the transonic turbine stator/rotor gap is observed and the concept of‘Inter-Row Traveling Shock(IRTS)'is proposed through the unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)simulation of a typical highlyloaded transonic turbine stage.The characteristics of an IRTS were described and summarized in aspects of unsteady shock wave system,aerodynamic characteristics and motion.The probable forming mechanism of an IRTS was explained through a theoretical model and it was validated through correct prediction of the flow state parameter change across the IRTS.Since IRTSs would strike onto vane suction sides,the pressure oscillation dynamic modes on vane suction side corresponding to the characteristic frequencies associated with IRTS were extracted through Dynamic Mode Decomposition(DMD),from which the way and extent of the IRTS influences on vane aerodynamic excitation were revealed and evaluated.Over 82%pressure oscillation energy on vane suction side could be brought by the IRTS sweeping along with blade rotation.

文摘Auroral kilometric radiation(AKR),a fundamental plasma emission in Earth's magnetosphere,exhibits three characteristic modes:the right-handed extraordinary(R-X),left-handed ordinary(L-O)and left-handed extraordinary(L-X)modes.The role of AKR in magnetosphere−ionosphere−atmosphere coupling depends sensitively on its wave mode.While previous studies have primarily focused on the dominant R-X mode,we present the first systematic identification of all three modes using a practical polarization analysis method based on Arase satellite observations.This method employs a spin-axis-relative Ratio:when the satellite's spin axis aligns with the background magnetic field,a positive(negative)Ratio indicates the right-handed(left-handed)polarization,with reversal under anti-parallel conditions.Combined polarization-frequency analysis reveals that R-X,L-O,and L-X modes can exist in both dayside and nightside regions,with power spectral densities up to 10^(-6)mV^(2)m^(-2)Hz^(-1).This study resolves long-standing ambiguities in AKR mode classification and has implications for understanding AKR-induced electron dynamics.

文摘Re-entry gliding vehicles exhibit high maneuverability,making trajectory prediction a key factor in the effectiveness of defense systems.To overcome the limited fitting accuracy of existing methods and their poor adaptability to maneuver mode mutations,a trajectory prediction method is proposed that integrates online maneuver mode identification with dynamic modeling.Characteristic parameters are extracted from tracking data for parameterized modeling,enabling real-time identification of maneuver modes.In addition,a maneuver detection mechanism based on higher-order cumulants is introduced to detect lateral maneuver mutations and optimize the use of historical data.Simulation results show that the proposed method achieves accurate trajectory prediction during the glide phase and maintains high accuracy under maneuver mutations,significantly enhancing the prediction performance of both three-dimensional trajectories and ground tracks.

文摘Since the view that the localized rail third-order bending mode can cause high-order polygonization(mainly 18-23)of high-speed train wheels was put forward in 2017,many scholars have attempted to link a connection between the localized rail bending modes and wheel polygonization phenomenon and polygonal wheel passing frequency.This paper first establishes a flexible track model considering the structural and parametric characteristics of fasteners,verifies the model by using vehicle tracking test data,then investigates the influence of fastener parameter matching on the localized rail bending modes,and obtains the following conclusions:(1)There is nearly a 1:1 mapping relationship between the localized rail bending modal frequency and polygonal wheel passing(PWP)frequency,which supports that the localized rail bending mode is one of the causes of wheel polygonization.(2)The iron plate of the fastener system plays a role of dynamic vibration absorber in the vehicle-rail coupled system,and the fastener parameters significantly influence the localized rail bending modal vibration.Finally,this paper proposes a design principle of a high-frequency vibration-absorbing fastener,which provides a feasible solution to mitigate the localized rail bending modal vibration and high-order wheel polygonization.Meanwhile,it points out that this measure may induce other high-frequency vibration problems,e.g.,aggravating modal vibration above 800 Hz.Further,this paper proposes a concept of differentiated arrangement of fasteners,suggesting that different high-frequency vibration-absorbing fasteners be installed in different sections of the whole line to make the localized rail bending modal frequency of the whole line disordered,thus disrupting and further mitigating the development of the wheel polygonization.

文摘The spatial organization of urban-rural systems is fundamentally shaped by the agglomeration and diffusion effects inherent in human-Earth processes,giving rise to distinct gradient-based and hierarchical structures.Understanding the complexity of these interactions and their multidimensional drivers is essential for deciphering the mechanisms of integrated urban-rural development.Here,we apply a novel hierarchical spatial system framework based on the human-Earth system,combining social network analysis and multi-level modeling,to examine the evolution of the socio-spatial structure in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2000 to 2020.We developed a comprehensive evaluation system spanning economic,social,environmental,and infrastructural dimensions to characterize spatial patterns across multiple network levels,including city clusters,metropolitan areas,municipal-counties,towns,and villages.Our analysis reveals three key findings:First,the density of foundational network connections increased significantly,reflecting a trend toward spatial concentration driven by policy-led regional integration.Second,network structures at the city-cluster and metropolitan scales exhibited a pattern of“initial expansion followed by convergence”,accompanied by notable shifts in their spatial centers of gravity.In parallel,differentiated patterns of agglomeration and expansion were evident in the township-and village-level networks of Baoding,Tangshan,and Handan,while village-level networks in Anxin,Quyang,and other locations demonstrated distinct developmental trends.Third,community structures demonstrated strong functional homophily and interactive cohesion across multiple dimensions,with metropolitan and township communities undergoing restructuring that reflects a reconfiguration of cross-level influence and functional coupling.Spatially,the system manifests as a gradient structure of interwoven point,line,and area networks,establishing a mechanism for functional differentiation and transmission from rural to urban areas.This study provides theoretical foundations and methodological support for understanding the spatial organization logic of integrated urban-rural development,offering practical reference value for advancing regional coordination and rural revitalization in a scientifically informed manner.

文摘The subantarctic mode water(SAMW)represents a large water mass in the Southern Ocean.This body of water forms through deep convection(subduction)in winter and contributes to the uptake and storage of anthropogenic heat.However,its longterm changes in subduction rate and volume in response to shifting climate conditions are unclear.In this study,we investigated the long-term trend of the subduction rate and volume of the South Pacific–SAMW(SPSAMW)using Simple Ocean Data Assimilation outputs during 1980–2017.The results show the overall increasing trend of the subduction rate of the SPSAMW.The increased subduction of the SPSAMW directly contributes to the volume variation in the SPSAMW.The increased subduction in the South Pacific reached(0.28±0.16)Sv-1 per year,which explains nearly 68%of the volume increase in the SPSAMW.This variability in the SPSAMW reflects alterations in the overlying atmosphere.The positive to negative phase change of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation(IPO)in 1980–2017 deepened the Amundsen Sea Low(ASL)via atmospheric teleconnections over the South Pacific.Further analysis reveals that the increased westerly winds during the deepening of ASL resulted in more cold water transport from the south,which deepened the winter mixed layer and thus increased subduction and volume within the SPSAMW subduction region.This finding suggests the association of the long-term trends of SPSAMW subduction and volume with the phase change of the IPO.

文摘Freezing and thawing processes play a crucial role in causing significant deformation and damage to layered soft rocks in cold region due to daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations.However,the frost heave mechanism of the rocks and their mechanical behaviors at the meso-scale still require further investigations.For this,we focused on carbonaceous slate reported in a high-altitude cold region,in terms of mineral composition,content,and microstructure.The strength and failure of mineral grain(MG)interfaces are studied using three-point-bending tests,in order to explore the evolution of mode I fracture toughness and tensile strength with the Dugdale-Barenblatt model and the Weibull distribution model.The results indicate that the damage of slate involves the initiation and propagation of microfracture networks at clay MG interfaces(bedding planes),driven by frost heave pressure at macroscopic and microscopic scales.This process causes the detachment of some MGs,resulting in fracture surfaces with a distinctive pulled-off planar structure.The hydrophilicity of clay MGs,interfacial strengths,and microfracture structures contribute to the freeze-thaw damage.As the number of freeze-thaw cycles increases,the effective area per unit decreases,leading to an exponentially decreasing in mode I fracture toughness and tensile strength at MG interfaces.Approximately 67%strength degradation occurs after 14 freeze-thaw cycles.This provides theoretical basis and experimental methods for better understanding the damage and deterioration behaviors of layered soft rocks in cold region under natural freeze-thaw cycles.

文摘This study investigates the effects of ocean boundaries on modal shapes in very-low-frequency(VLF,1–10 Hz)sound propagation through the deep ocean.Utilizing a normal mode solution formulated in terms of parabolic cylinder functions(PCF),we demonstrate that boundary interactions induce a phase change reduction below-πat frequencies of several hertz.This reduction,in turn,forces a key transition in the solution,shifting the order of the PCF from integer to non-integer values.Analysis of the characteristic shape of the PCF versus its order reveals that these boundary-influenced modes exhibit an energy shift toward deeper regions and a weakened axial convergence of the underwater sound field.

文摘Flexible materials play a crucial role in protecting against behind armour blunt trauma(BABT).However,their compliance complicates the understanding of failure mechanisms and energy absorption.This study used a combined experimental and numerical approach to investigate the response and failure modes of a flexible ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)foam protective sandwich structure(UFPSS)under low-velocity impact(LVI).A finite element(FE)model,accounting for nonlinear large deformation and strain-rate-dependent material behavior,was developed for a woven-UFPSS(featuring a plain-woven fabric structure)subjected to a 50 J impact.Experimental and numerical results showed strong agreement in peak force(error<5%),maximum displacement(error<6%),and buffer time(error<8%).The impact's kinetic energy was mainly converted into internal energy of the fabric and foam materials(~50%),viscous dissipation in the foam core(12%-15%),frictional work at the contact interfaces(5%-6%),and work by the pneumatic fixture clamping force(~38%).This study provides the first investigation of the LVI performance of sandwich structures with all soft material layers,offering significant insights for the application of compliant materials in protective fields.

文摘The stability of rock slopes is frequently controlled by the initiation and propagation of inherent dominant cracks.This study systematically investigated these processes in valley slopes by combining fracture-mechanics analysis with transparent soil model tests.An analytical expression for the stress field at the dominant crack tip was derived from the slope stress distribution by superposing the corresponding stress intensity factors(SIFs).The theoretical predictions were then validated against observations from transparent soil model tests.The influences of slope angle(β),crack inclination angle(α),crack position parameter(b),and crack length parameter(h)on crack initiation and propagation were quantified.The results indicated that:(1)cracks at the slope crest tended to propagate in shear mode,and the shear crack initiation angle(θ_(s))was approximately 8°.Cracks at the slope toe might propagate in either tensile or shear mode.(2)θ_(s) at the slope crest increased withβ,b,and l,and decreased withα.The maximum change inθ_(s) induced by the considered parameters was approximately 30°.(3)The tensile crack initiation angle(θ_(t))at the slop toe decreased withβ,α,and l,while the influence of b was comparatively minor.The maximum change inθ_(t) caused by individual parameters ranged approximately from 25°to 60°.Predicted crack propagation modes and directions showed good agreement with experimental results.These findings provide theoretical guidance for stability assessments of valley slopes controlled by dominant crack propagation.

文摘Quantitative detection of sleeve grouting compactness is a technical challenge in civil engineering testing.This study explores a novel quantitative detection method based on ultrasonic time-frequency dual-domain analysis.It establishes a mapping relationship between sleeve grouting compactness and characteristic parameters.First,this study made samples with gradient defects for two types of grouting sleeves,G18 and G20.These included four cases:2D,4D,6D defects(where D is the diameter of the grouting sleeve),and no-defect.Then,an ultrasonic input/output data acquisition system was established.Three-dimensional sound field distribution data were obtained through an orthogonal detection layout and pulse reflection principles.Finally,a novel quantification detection with a comprehensive defect index(DI)was established by comprehensively considering eight feature parameters,such as time-frequency domain Kurtosis factor(KU),Skewness factor(SK),Formfactor(FF),Crest factor(CF),Impulse factor(IF),Clearance factor(CLF),Wavelet packet energy entropy(WPEE),and Hilbert energy peak(HEP).Construct a DI index by quantifying the difference between defect signals and defect free signals in the time-frequency domain.Experimental results show that,under no-defect conditions,the values of feature parameters are significantly lower than those under defect conditions.Among these,the KU,FF,CF,WPEE and HEP exhibit strong correlations with grout sleeve compactness.The proposed DI index in both types of grout sleeves showed good universality with a linear fit goodness of 0.847–0.962.However,G20 the larger inner diameter and length of the sleeve result in a more complex medium effect during ultrasonic propagation,making its DI index more sensitive to defects than the G18 sleeve.Therefore,the presented method is effective for quantitative detection and analysis of the compactness of grouting sleeves.
