A promising approach is to build high-performance modules interconnected via strong coupling. In particular, axial motional modes offer a practical mechanism to couple the ions in a chain, enabling the preparation of Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states with up to 24 ions using global operations, as well as high-fidelity two-qubit gates(96.6%–98.0%) in fully connected five-ion chains. Here, we demonstrate two-qubit quantum logic gates in a 5-ion^(40)Ca^(+)chain using axial modes, achieving fidelities exceeding 99% for adjacent pairs and over 98% for arbitrary pairs by carefully tackling dominant error sources. Our results are beneficial to the development of scalable ion-trap quantum processors,quantum simulation and quantum-enhanced metrology.展开更多
In 316L austenitic stainless steel,the presence of ferrite phase severely affects the non-magnetic properties.316L austenitic stainless steel with low-alloy type(L-316L)and high-alloy type(H-316L)has been studied.The ...In 316L austenitic stainless steel,the presence of ferrite phase severely affects the non-magnetic properties.316L austenitic stainless steel with low-alloy type(L-316L)and high-alloy type(H-316L)has been studied.The microstructure and solidification kinetics of the two as-cast grades were in situ observed by high temperature confocal laser scanning microscopy(HT-CLSM).There are significant differences in the as-cast microstructures of the two 316L stainless steel compositions.In L-316L steel,ferrite morphology appears as the short rods with a ferrite content of 6.98%,forming a dual-phase microstructure consisting of austenite and ferrite.Conversely,in H-316L steel,the ferrite appears as discontinuous network structures with a content of 4.41%,forming a microstructure composed of austenite and sigma(σ)phase.The alloying elements in H-316L steel exhibit a complex distribution,with Ni and Mo enriching at the austenite grain boundaries.HT-CLSM experiments provide the real-time observation of the solidification processes of both 316L specimens and reveal distinct solidification modes:L-316L steel solidifies in an FA mode,whereas H-316L steel solidifies in an AF mode.These differences result in ferrite and austenite predominantly serving as the nucleation and growth phases,respectively.The solidification mode observed by experiments is similar to the thermodynamic calculation results.The L-316L steel solidified in the FA mode and showed minimal element segregation,which lead to a direct transformation of ferrite to austenite phase(δ→γ)during phase transformation after solidification.Besides,the H-316L steel solidified in the AF mode and showed severe element segregation,which lead to Mo enrichment at grain boundaries and transformation of ferrite into sigma and austenite phases through the eutectoid reaction(δ→σ+γ).展开更多

In the CC-CV charge mode,the charger IC provides a constant charging current at the beginning, and then the charging current begins to decrease before the battery voltage reaches its final value. After the battery voltage reaches its final value and remains constant,the charging current is further reduced. This approach prevents charging the battery with full current near its saturated voltage,which can cause heating. The novel design of the core of the charger IC realizes the proposed CC-CV charge mode. The chip was implemented in a CSMC 0.6μm CMOS mixed signal process. The experimental results verify the realization of the proposed CC- CV charge mode. The voltage of the battery after charging is 4. 1833V.展开更多

文摘We present a 3+1 formulation of the light modes in nonlinear electrodynamics described by Plebanski-type Lagrangians,which include post-Maxwellian,Born-Infeld,ModMax,and Heisenberg-Euler-Schwinger QED Lagrangians.In nonlinear electrodynamics,strong electromagnetic fields modify the vacuum such that it acquires optical properties.Such a field-modified vacuum can possess electric permittivity,magnetic permeability,and a magneto-electric response,inducing novel phenomena such as vacuum birefringence.By exploiting the mathematical structures of Plebanski-type Lagrangians,we establish a streamlined procedure and explicit formulas to determine light modes,i.e.,refractive indices and polarization vectors for a given propagation direction.We also work out the light modes of the various Lagrangians for an arbitrarily strong magnetic field.The 3+1 formulation advanced in this paper has direct applications to the current vacuum birefringence research:terrestrial experiments using permanent magnets/ultra-intense lasers for the subcritical regime and astrophysical observation of X-rays from highly magnetized neutron stars for the near-critical and supercritical regimes.

文摘Autonomous Underwater Vehicles(AUVs)are pivotal for deep-sea exploration and resource exploitation,yet their reliability in extreme underwater environments remains a critical barrier to widespread deployment.Through systematic analysis of 150 peer-reviewed studies employing mixed-methods research,this review yields three principal advancements to the reliability analysis of AUVs.First,based on the hierarchical functional division of AUVs into six subsystems(propulsion system,navigation system,communication system,power system,environmental detection system,and emergency system),this study systematically identifies the primary failure modes and potential failure causes of each subsystem,providing theoretical support for fault diagnosis and reliability optimization.Subsequently,a comprehensive review of AUV reliability analysis methods is conducted from three perspectives:analytical methods,simulated methods,and surrogate model methods.The applicability and limitations of each method are critically analyzed to offer insights into their suitability for engineering applications.Finally,the study highlights key challenges and research hotpots in AUV reliability analysis,including reliability analysis under limited data,AI-driven reliability analysis,and human reliability analysis.Furthermore,the potential of multi-sensor data fusion,edge computing,and advanced materials in enhancing AUV environmental adaptability and reliability is explored.

文摘Dual-output power amplifiers(PAs)have shown great potential in the area of radar,satellite and wireless communication systems.However,the flexibility of the power allocation in a dual-output PA without sacrificing efficiency and circuit complexity still needs further investigation.This paper presents a digitally dual-input dual-output(DIDO)PA with reconfigurable modes for power allocation application.The proposed DIDO PA is consist of two identical sub-amplifiers and a 90◦coupler,showing a simple circuit topology.The input amplitudes of the two sub-amplifiers and their phase difference is dynamically controlled leveraging on the dual-input technique,leading to reconfigurable operation modes from power allocation to Doherty.In the power allocation mode,flexible power allocation between two output ports can be obtained by the DIDO PA without sacrificing drain efficiency(DE).On the other hand,flexible power transferring and enhanced back-off DE can be simultaneously achieved by the DIDO PA when it is in the Doherty mode.As a proof of concept,a DIDO PA operating at 2.4 GHz is fabricated and measured in this paper.In the power allocation mode,the DIDO PA achieves a DE of more than 71.8%with a total output power of larger than 44 dBm.Moreover,when the DIDO PA operates in the Doherty mode,it could deliver a maximum output power of more than 44 dBm with a saturation DE of more than 73.9%and a 6 dB back-off DE of more than 61.2%.
文摘Purpose–This study aims to investigate the fatigue behavior and failure modes of bolted lap joints using Modified Tensile Specimens(MTS)under various cyclic load conditions.Emphasis is placed on identifying the relationship between load amplitude,fatigue life,and damage progression in low-carbon steel assemblies.Design/methodology/approach–An experimental approach was adopted using MTS specimens fabricated from St 1203 cold-rolled steel,joined with Grade 8.8 M4 bolts.Cyclic fatigue tests were conducted under zerobased loading at seven distinct force levels.Fracture surfaces were visually analyzed to identify dominant failure mechanisms.Findings–The results revealed a strong inverse correlation between applied cyclic load and fatigue life.Three distinct failure modes were identified:bolt shear at high loads(5.4 kN),interface cracking and slippage at moderate loads(4.9–5.1 kN),and plate tearing or stable fatigue behavior at lower loads(54.1 kN).The results highlight a progressive transition in failure mechanisms,from bolt shear at high loads to plate tearing and interface cracking at lower loads,providing essential insights for fatigue-resistant bolted joint design.Originality/value–This study offers original insights into the fatigue behavior of bolted lap joints using MTS,a relatively underexplored configuration in fatigue assessment.By experimentally evaluating failure modes under varied cyclic load levels,the authors uncover critical transitions in damage mechanisms—from bolt shear to interface cracking and plate tearing—depending on the applied load.Unlike many existing studies focused on numerical modeling or bonded joints alone,this work provides empirical data rooted in real-world fastening conditions using cold-rolled low-carbon steel.

文摘The rise in construction activities within mountainous regions has significantly increased the frequency of rockfalls.Statistical models for rockfall hazard assessment often struggle to achieve high precision on a large scale.This limitation arises primarily from the scarcity of historical rockfall data and the inadequacy of conventional assessment indicators in capturing the physical and structural characteristics of rockfalls.This study proposes a physically based deterministic model designed to accurately quantify rockfall hazards at a large scale.The model accounts for multiple rockfall failure modes and incorporates the key physical and structural parameters of the rock mass.Rockfall hazard is defined as the product of three factors:the rockfall failure probability,the probability of reaching a specific position,and the corresponding impact intensity.The failure probability includes probabilities of formation and instability of rock blocks under different failure modes,modeled based on the combination patterns of slope surfaces and rock discontinuities.The Monte Carlo method is employed to account for the randomness of mechanical and geometric parameters when quantifying instability probabilities.Additionally,the rock trajectories and impact energies simulated using Flow-R software are combined with rockfall failure probability to enable regional rockfall hazard zoning.A case study was conducted in Tiefeng,Chongqing,China,considering four types of rockfall failure modes.Hazard zoning results identified the steep and elevated terrains of the northern and southern anaclinal slopes as areas of highest rockfall hazard.These findings align with observed conditions,providing detailed hazard zoning and validating the effectiveness and potential of the proposed model.

文摘We apply the WKB approximation method,matrix method,and finite difference method to study the gravitational quasi-normal modes of charged spherically symmetric black holes surrounded by quintessence fluid in Rastall gravity.By comparing the spherically symmetric spacetime metric of charged black holes surrounded by quintessence fluid in Rastall gravity with that of general relativity,we can find that the modifications to general relativity in this modified gravity theory can be described by parameters such asλ,Q,and C_(a),etc.In four-dimensional spacetime,we investigate the impact of charge Q and parameter C_(a) on the gravitational quasi-normal modes of charged black holes surrounded by quintessence field in Rastall gravity.The aim is to search for observational evidence of such black holes in astrophysical observations and,consequently,test the validity of Rastall theory.In five-dimensional(5D)spacetime,we study the impact of the parameter C_(a) on the gravitational quasi-normal modes of Rastall black holes surrounded by quintessence field and summarize the corresponding variation patterns.

文摘Quantification of river flood risks is a prerequisite for floodplain management and development.The lower Yellow River(LYR)is characterized by a complex channel–floodplain system,which is prone to flooding but inhabits a large population on the floodplains.Many floodplain management modes have been presented,but implementation effects of these management modes have not been evaluated correctly.An integrated model was first proposed to evaluate the flood risks to people’s life and property,covering an improved module of two-dimensional(2D)morphodynamic processes and a module of flood risk evaluation for people,buildings and crops on the floodplains.Two simulation cases were then conducted to validate the model accuracy,including the hyperconcentrated flood event and dike-breach induced flood event occurring in the LYR.Finally,the integrated model was applied to key floodplains in the LYR,and the effects of different floodplain management modes were quantified on the risks to people’s life and property under an extreme flood event.Results indicate that:①Satisfactory accuracy was achieved in the simulation of these two flood events.The maximum sediment concentration was just underestimated by 9%,and the simulated inundation depth agreed well with the field record;②severe inundation was predicted to occur in most domains under the current topography(SchemeⅠ),which would be alleviated after implementing different floodplain management modes,with the area in slight inundation degree accounting for a large proportion under the mode of“construction of protection embankment”(SchemeⅡ)and the area in medium inundation degree occupying a high ratio under the mode of“floodplain partition harnessing”(SchemeⅢ);and③compared with SchemeⅠ,the high-risk area for people’s life and property would reduce by 21%–49%under SchemeⅡ,and by 35%–93%under SchemeⅢ.

文摘This study explores the nonlinear dynamics of a quasi-zero stiffness(QZS)vibration isolator coupled with a piezoelectric energy harvester connected to an RL-resonant circuit.The model of the system is formulated with the Lagrangian mechanics,representing a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear electromechanical system subject to harmonic base excitation under a 1:1 internal resonance condition.The model is normalized,and the conditions dictating monostable and bistable oscillation modes are identified.The bifurcation characteristics of the coupled system are analyzed in both oscillation modes by means of harmonic balance and continuation methods.The vibration isolation performance,with and without the coupled harvester,is evaluated in terms of displacement transmissibility to assess its dual functionalities for vibration isolation and energy harvesting.Analytical results demonstrate that integrating a piezoelectric harvester into a monostable QZS isolator under 1:1 internal resonance does not compromise its vibration isolation capability while enabling efficient energy harvesting at extremely low-frequency base excitation.Furthermore,the system's response under strong base excitation is investigated exclusively for energy harvesting in both monostable and bistable modes,leading to optimal structural parameter design.The conditions for intra-well and inter-well periodic oscillation modes,as well as chaotic responses,are analyzed analytically and validated numerically through stability charts,basins of attraction,bifurcation diagrams,time histories,and Poincarémaps.This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the oscillation dynamics of QZS isolators and offers valuable insights for optimizing their geometric parameters to function as high-performance vibration isolators and/or energy harvesters.

文摘Trapped-ion systems are one of the leading platforms for quantum information processing, where a key challenge is to scale up system size while maintaining high-fidelity two-qubit operations. A promising approach is to build high-performance modules interconnected via strong coupling. In particular, axial motional modes offer a practical mechanism to couple the ions in a chain, enabling the preparation of Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states with up to 24 ions using global operations, as well as high-fidelity two-qubit gates(96.6%–98.0%) in fully connected five-ion chains. Here, we demonstrate two-qubit quantum logic gates in a 5-ion^(40)Ca^(+)chain using axial modes, achieving fidelities exceeding 99% for adjacent pairs and over 98% for arbitrary pairs by carefully tackling dominant error sources. Our results are beneficial to the development of scalable ion-trap quantum processors,quantum simulation and quantum-enhanced metrology.

文摘In 316L austenitic stainless steel,the presence of ferrite phase severely affects the non-magnetic properties.316L austenitic stainless steel with low-alloy type(L-316L)and high-alloy type(H-316L)has been studied.The microstructure and solidification kinetics of the two as-cast grades were in situ observed by high temperature confocal laser scanning microscopy(HT-CLSM).There are significant differences in the as-cast microstructures of the two 316L stainless steel compositions.In L-316L steel,ferrite morphology appears as the short rods with a ferrite content of 6.98%,forming a dual-phase microstructure consisting of austenite and ferrite.Conversely,in H-316L steel,the ferrite appears as discontinuous network structures with a content of 4.41%,forming a microstructure composed of austenite and sigma(σ)phase.The alloying elements in H-316L steel exhibit a complex distribution,with Ni and Mo enriching at the austenite grain boundaries.HT-CLSM experiments provide the real-time observation of the solidification processes of both 316L specimens and reveal distinct solidification modes:L-316L steel solidifies in an FA mode,whereas H-316L steel solidifies in an AF mode.These differences result in ferrite and austenite predominantly serving as the nucleation and growth phases,respectively.The solidification mode observed by experiments is similar to the thermodynamic calculation results.The L-316L steel solidified in the FA mode and showed minimal element segregation,which lead to a direct transformation of ferrite to austenite phase(δ→γ)during phase transformation after solidification.Besides,the H-316L steel solidified in the AF mode and showed severe element segregation,which lead to Mo enrichment at grain boundaries and transformation of ferrite into sigma and austenite phases through the eutectoid reaction(δ→σ+γ).

文摘With the change of the main influencing factors such as structural configuration and impact conditions,reinforced concrete slabs exhibit different mechanical behaviors with different failure patterns,and the failure modes are transformed.In order to reveal the failure mode and transformation rule of reinforced concrete slabs under impact loads,a dynamic impact response test was carried out using a drop hammer test device.The dynamic data pertaining to the impact force,support reaction force,structural displacement,and reinforcement strain were obtained through the use of digital image correlation technology(DIC),impact force measurement,and strain measurement.The analysis of the ultimate damage state of the reinforced concrete slab identified four distinct types of impact failure modes:local failure by stamping,overall failure by stamping,local-overall coupling failure,and local failure by punching.Additionally,the influence laws of hammerhead shape,hammer height,and reinforcement ratio on the dynamic response and failure mode transformation of the slab were revealed.The results indicate that:(1)The local damage to the slab by the plane hammer is readily apparent,while the overall damage by the spherical hammer is more pronounced.(2)In comparison to the high reinforcement ratio slabs,the overall bending resistance of the low reinforcement ratio slabs is significantly inferior,and the slab back exhibits further cracks.(3)As the hammer height increases,the slab failure mode undergoes a transformation,shifting from local failure by stamping and overall failure by stamping to local-overall coupling failure and local failure by punching.(4)Three failure mode thresholds have been established,and by comparing the peak impact force with the failure thresholds,the failure mode of the slab can be effectively determined.
文摘A design for a Li-ion battery charger IC that can operate in a constant current-constant voltage （CC- CV） charge mode is proposed. In the CC-CV charge mode,the charger IC provides a constant charging current at the beginning, and then the charging current begins to decrease before the battery voltage reaches its final value. After the battery voltage reaches its final value and remains constant,the charging current is further reduced. This approach prevents charging the battery with full current near its saturated voltage,which can cause heating. The novel design of the core of the charger IC realizes the proposed CC-CV charge mode. The chip was implemented in a CSMC 0.6μm CMOS mixed signal process. The experimental results verify the realization of the proposed CC- CV charge mode. The voltage of the battery after charging is 4. 1833V.
