However, most radars operate inmultiple-target mode and can only get discontinuous clusters of the returned pulses, which makes itextremely difficult to extract PMPM signature from the echoes.

Experimental results show that this method can effectively eliminate thesevere influence caused hy the convolution kernel and gain a satisfactory spectral estimation thatapproaches to the true spectrum.展开更多

This study focused on moving particle semi-implicit(MPS) method, which is a Lagrangian gridless particle method, and investigated its performance and stability to simulate large deformation of geomaterials. A calculation method was developed using geomaterials modeled as Bingham fluids to improve the original MPS method and enhance its stability. Two numerical tests showed that results from the improved MPS method was in good agreement with the theoretical value.Furthermore, numerical simulations were calibrated by laboratory experiments. It showed that the simulation results matched well with the experimentally observed free-surface configurations for flowing sand. In addition, the model could generally predict the time-history of the impact force. The MPS method could be a useful tool to evaluate large deformation of geomaterials.展开更多

The po...Every electrical conductive medium placed in a time varying magnetic field is the seat of eddy currents that dissipate power through Joule effect. The induction hardening process takes advantage of this effect. The power concentrates in the surface of the piece (skin effect), the thickness of which depends on the electromagnetic properties and the frequency of the currents. The numerical simulation of such a process is of major interest to control and estimate the thickness of the treated layer, the superficial hardness, the residual stresses (often compressive in the surface) or the residual distortions. In this paper we focus on the interactions between electromagnetism and heat transfer for the simulation of the heating stage. The method used to couple both phenomena is detailed. A magnetic vector potential formulation is used for the electromagnetic analysis and an approach coupling finite elements with boundary elements is presented. Such a method is especially useful when moving parts are involved as it is generally the case for induction hardening processes. The air is represented by a boundary element that enables to consider independent meshes for all the conductive media within the device (piece and coils). Moreover, meshes are now the same for the electromagnetic and thermal analyses. This considerably facilitates the analysis that is performed step by step, each step corresponding to a position of the moving media. At each step, the matrices associated with the boundary element are calculated and the magneto-dynamic and thermal analyses are performed. Finally, an application is presented.展开更多

Two methods have been developed to calculate particle rotation speed from the particle images. The first method consists of a fully automated algorithm based on cross-correlation of gray distribution of particle images for particles whose rotation axes are （nearly） perpendicular to the imaging plane, and the second method calculates the speed of particle rotation by identifying its rotation axis using two or more characteristic points on its surface. The reliability of the two methods is verified by using a small sphere with known speed and direction of rotation. The first method is shown to be capable of measuring accurately the rotation speed for the particle with a rotation axis （nearly） perpendicular to the imaging plane and filtering off other particles using an appropriate threshold of correlation coefficient. The second method is shown to be capable of yielding both the speed and direction of particle rotation, with a measurement error of less than 10%. Results of both methods on real glass beads in a CFB riser are compared against each other.展开更多

However, the implementations of searching neighbouring particles and solving the large sparse matrix equations (Poisson-type equation) are very time-consuming. In order to utilize the tremendous power of parallel computation of Graphics Processing Units (GPU), this study has developed a GPU-based MPS model employing the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) on NVIDIA GTX 280. The efficient neighbourhood particle searching is done through an indirect method and the Poisson-type pressure equation is solved by the Bi-Conjugate Gradient (BiCG) method. Four different optimization levels for the present general parallel GPU-based MPS model are demonstrated. In addition, the elaborate optimization of GPU code is also discussed. A benchmark problem of dam-breaking flow is simulated using both codes of the present GPU-based MPS and the original CPU-based MPS. The comparisons between them show that the GPU-based MPS model outperforms 26 times the traditional CPU model.展开更多

In model-conditioned filtering, sample particles obtained from the unscented particle filter are moved towards the maximal posterior density estimation of the target state through mean shift. On the basis of stop model in VS-IMM, hide model is proposed. Once the target is obscured by terrain, the prediction at prior time is used instead of the measurement at posterior time; in addition, the road model set used is not changed. A ground moving target indication （GMTI） radar is employed in three common simulation scenarios of ground target： entering or leaving a road, crossing a junction and no measurement. Two evaluation indexes, root mean square error （RMSE） and average normalized estimation error squared （ANEES）, are used. The results indicate that when the road on which the target moving changes, the tracking accuracy is effectively improved in the proposed algorithm. Moreover, track interruption could be avoided if the target is moving too slowly or masked by terrain.展开更多

The effects of free surface waves, compressibility and viscidity of the fluid are neglected in the analysis. The subsection functions are used to describe the discontinuous characteristics of the system due to partial immersion. The classical thin plate theory is adopted to formulate the equations of motion of a vibrating plate. The velocity potential and Bernoulli＇s equation are used to describe the fluid pressure acting on the moving plate. The effect of fluid on the vibrations of the plate may be equivalent to the added mass on the plate. The effects of distance ratio, moving speed, immersed-depth ratio, boundary conditions, stiffness ratio and aspect ratio of the plate as well as the fluid-plate density ratios on the free vibrations of the moving plate-fluid system are investigated.展开更多

The stability curves of moving jet far different downstream distances, Reynolds number of flow-field, particle properties and velocities of jetting device are got by the finite difference method based on the asymptotic method and the Eulerian conservative difference scheme. Founded on the analysis of the obtained stability curves it is found that the positive velocity of jetting device widens the unstable frequency range of flow-field hut the effect of the negative one is contrary. In addition, particles existing in the flow-field curb the instability of flow-field and the effect enhances with the decrease of Reynolds number of flow-field. These conclusions benefit learning the development of moving two-phase jet.展开更多

In order to model a moving bubble, the bubble was fixed into the counter flow liquid by a metal mesh. Experimental materials are air and water, and the particles are complex oxidate powder. Experiments were carried out under the operating conditions: the liquid flow velocity u 0 is 12.6 cm/s, the equivalent diameter d e is 0.6 cm, the mass concentration of particle is 0.2 0 0 ,the average particle diameter is about 10 nm and the density is 2 g/cm 3. The velocity profiles of both frontal and tail vortex areas were measured respectively. The experimental results show that the velocity fields are obviously changed in the existence of particles. In the frontal area of the bubble, both tangential and normal velocities decrease due to the presence of particles, but in tail vortex area, the tangential velocities increase remarkably, and normal velocities rise gradually from the center towards the fringe in the opposite tendency to that of no particles. The influences of flow field change in the presence of particles on gas liquid mass transfer are analyzed and discussed.展开更多

The governing partial differential equations were analyzed for both moving force and moving mass problem in order to determine the behaviour of the system under consideration. The analytical method in terms of series solution and numerical method were used for the governing equation. The effect of various beam observed that the response amplitude due to the moving force is greater than that due to moving mass. It was also found that the response amplitude of the moving force problem with non-initial stress increase as mass of the mass of the load M increases.展开更多

文摘Dry laser cleaning(DLC)and laser shockwave cleaning(LSC)are used to remove the particulate contamination from SiO_(2) sol−gel optical films.The results show that the LSC with a shockwave initiated by plasma formation under a focused laser beam pulse offers much better efficiency than DLC.Silica particles up to 10µm on SiO_(2 )films can be removed without substrate damage at a gap distance of 0.5 mm,and a more uniform surface microstructure can be obtained after LSC.Furthermore,it is demonstrated that the transmittance of contaminated SiO2 films can be restored to the as-deposited value after the LSC on dispersed-particle zones.LSC has potential applications in engineering-oriented large components.

文摘Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)-based passive radar(GBPR)has been widely used in remote sensing applications.However,for moving target detection(MTD),the quadratic phase error(QPE)introduced by the non-cooperative target motion is usually difficult to be compensated,as the low power level of the GBPR echo signal renders the estimation of the Doppler rate less effective.Consequently,the moving target in GBPR image is usually defocused,which aggravates the difficulty of target detection even further.In this paper,a spawning particle filter(SPF)is proposed for defocused MTD.Firstly,the measurement model and the likelihood ratio function(LRF)of the defocused point-like target image are deduced.Then,a spawning particle set is generated for subsequent target detection,with reference to traditional particles in particle filter(PF)as their parent.After that,based on the PF estimator,the SPF algorithm and its sequential Monte Carlo(SMC)implementation are proposed with a novel amplitude estimation method to decrease the target state dimension.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed SPF is demonstrated by numerical simulations and pre-liminary experimental results,showing that the target range and Doppler can be estimated accurately.

文摘This paper firstly analyzes the property of the low frequency electromagnetic wave, which can penetrate many types of non-metallic materials, and the ability of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) impulse signal which has high range resolution. Then the methods are discussed for conducting surveillance through walls, detecting and locating the moving persons behind the partitions. The schematic diagram of Through-Wall Detecting Radar (TWDR) and the models of moving target are shown and the principle of detecting the moving target is also provided with coherent superimposing technique on a range gate. Finally an algorithm for estimating the location of targets is given. The performance of TWDR is validated by the experiments of penetrating a wood block, a red brick wall and a reinforced concrete wall.

文摘Nearfield acoustic holography in a moving medium is a technique which is typically suitable for sound sources identification in a flow.In the process of sound field reconstruction,sound pressure is usually used as the input,but it may contain considerable background noise due to the interactions between microphones and flow moving at a high velocity.To avoid this problem,particle velocity is an alternative input,which can be obtained by using laser Doppler velocimetry in a non-intrusive way.However,there is a singular problem in the conventional propagator relating the particle velocity to the pressure,and it could lead to significant errors or even false results.In view of this,in this paper,nonsingular propagators are deduced to realize accurate reconstruction in both cases that the hologram is parallel to and perpendicular to the flow direction.The advantages of the proposed method are analyzed,and simulations are conducted to verify the validation.The results show that the method can overcome the singular problem effectively,and the reconstruction errors are at a low level for different flow velocities,frequencies,and signal-to-noise ratios.
文摘Laser Doppler Anemometer has been used to measure the flow field characteristics near the interface around a moving bubble in the presence of ultrafine particles. In order to model a moving bubble, the bubble was fixed into the counter flow liquid by a metal mesh. Experimental materials are air and water, and the particles are complex oxidate powder. Experiments were carried out under the operating conditions: the liquid flow velocity u 0 is 12.6 cm/s, the equivalent diameter d e is 0.6 cm, the mass concentration of particle is 0.2 0 0 ,the average particle diameter is about 10 nm and the density is 2 g/cm 3. The velocity profiles of both frontal and tail vortex areas were measured respectively. The experimental results show that the velocity fields are obviously changed in the existence of particles. In the frontal area of the bubble, both tangential and normal velocities decrease due to the presence of particles, but in tail vortex area, the tangential velocities increase remarkably, and normal velocities rise gradually from the center towards the fringe in the opposite tendency to that of no particles. The influences of flow field change in the presence of particles on gas liquid mass transfer are analyzed and discussed.
文摘The paper investigates the response of non-initially stressed Euler-Bernoulli beam to uniform partially distributed moving loads. The governing partial differential equations were analyzed for both moving force and moving mass problem in order to determine the behaviour of the system under consideration. The analytical method in terms of series solution and numerical method were used for the governing equation. The effect of various beam observed that the response amplitude due to the moving force is greater than that due to moving mass. It was also found that the response amplitude of the moving force problem with non-initial stress increase as mass of the mass of the load M increases.
