From the time series, non-linear motions are found. With spectral analysis method, the variation frequency （annual period and semi-annual period） of the site velocity is found. Moreover, the empirical model of the velocity variation of the station has been established by regression analysis method based on the weekly solution coordinate series of the station. With respect to the velocity of the IGS tracking station, it was better to model the variation periodically or to give a velocity periodically using a piece-wise linear function rather than a linear variable to estimate its bias.展开更多

The VIM model is based on the couple of the Duffing-van der Pol oscillators and the motion equations with non-linear terms. The model with liner stiffness is presented for comparison and their results are compared with the experiments in order to calibrate the model. The computed results show that the predicted VIM amplitudes and periods of oscillation are in qualitative agreements with the experimental data. Compared with the results with linear stiffness, it is found that the application of non-linear stiffness causes the significant reductions in the in-line and transverse motion amplitudes. Under the non-linear stiffness constraint, the lock-in behavior is still identified at 8<Ur<15, and the trajectories of the VIM on the xy plane with eight-figure patterns are maintained. The results with different non-linear geometrically parameters show that both in-line and transverse non-linear characteristics can significantly affect the predict in-line and transverse motion amplitudes. Furthermore, the computed results for different aspect ratios indicate that the in-line and transverse motion amplitudes increase with the growth of aspect ratio, and the range of lock-in region is enlarged for the large aspect ratio.展开更多

This paper reports a strain sensor with synergistic conductive network, consisting of stable carbon nanotube dispersion (CNT) layer and brittle MXene layer by dip-coating and electrostatic self-assembly method, and breathable three-dimensional (3D) flexible substrate of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fibrous membrane prepared through electrospinning technology. The MXene/CNT@PDA-TPU (MC@p-TPU) flexible strain sensor had excellent air permeability, wide operating range (0–450 %), high sensitivity (Gauge Factor, GFmax = 8089.7), ultra-low detection limit (0.05 %), rapid response and recovery times (40 ms/60 ms), and excellent cycle stability and durability (10,000 cycles). Given its superior strain sensing capabilities, this sensor can be applied in physiological signals detection, human motion pattern recognition, and driving exoskeleton robots. In addition, MC@p-TPU fibrous membrane also exhibited excellent photothermal conversion performance and can be used as a wearable photo-heater, which has far-reaching application potential in the photothermal therapy of human joint diseases.展开更多

However, the backward motion always generates for some piezoelectric actuators, which reduces the working efficiency. Bionic motions have already been employed in the field of piezoelectric actuators to realize better performance. By imitating the movement form of seals, seal type piezoelectric actuator is capable to realize large operating strokes easily. Nevertheless, the conventional seal type piezoelectric actuator has a complicated structure and control system, which limits further applications. Hence, an improved bionic piezoelectric actuator is proposed to realize a long motion stroke and eliminate backward movement with a simplified structure and control method in this study. The composition and motion principle of the designed actuator are discussed, and the performance is investigated with simulations and experiments. Results confirm that the presented actuator effectively realizes the linear movement that has a large working stroke stably without backward motion. The smallest stepping displacement ΔL is 0.2 μm under 1 Hz and 50 V. The largest motion speed is 900 μm/s with 900 Hz and 120 V. The largest vertical and horizontal load are 250 g and 12 g, respectively. This work shows that the improved bionic piezoelectric actuator is feasible for eliminating backward motion and has a great working ability.展开更多

文摘With the rapid development of wearable electronic skin technology, flexible strain sensors have shown great application prospects in the fields of human motion and physiological signal detection, medical diagnostics, and human-computer interaction owing to their outstanding sensing performance. This paper reports a strain sensor with synergistic conductive network, consisting of stable carbon nanotube dispersion (CNT) layer and brittle MXene layer by dip-coating and electrostatic self-assembly method, and breathable three-dimensional (3D) flexible substrate of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fibrous membrane prepared through electrospinning technology. The MXene/CNT@PDA-TPU (MC@p-TPU) flexible strain sensor had excellent air permeability, wide operating range (0–450 %), high sensitivity (Gauge Factor, GFmax = 8089.7), ultra-low detection limit (0.05 %), rapid response and recovery times (40 ms/60 ms), and excellent cycle stability and durability (10,000 cycles). Given its superior strain sensing capabilities, this sensor can be applied in physiological signals detection, human motion pattern recognition, and driving exoskeleton robots. In addition, MC@p-TPU fibrous membrane also exhibited excellent photothermal conversion performance and can be used as a wearable photo-heater, which has far-reaching application potential in the photothermal therapy of human joint diseases.

文摘In this study,we present a unified sparsity-driven framework that significantly enhances motion deblurring performance by integrating two key components:a custom-designed dataset and a low-rank module(LRM).This framework leverages the inherent sparsity of per-pixel blur kernels to bolster both deblurring accuracy and model interpretability.Firstly,we propose an adaptive-basis decomposition-based deblurring(ADD)approach,which constructs a tailored training dataset to enhance the generalization capacity of the deblurring network.The ADD framework adaptively decomposes motion blur into sparse basis elements,effectively addressing the intricacies associated with non-uniform blurs.Secondly,an LRM is proposed to improve the interpretability of deblurring models as a plug-and-play module,primarily designed to identify and harness the intrinsic sparse features in sharp images.A series of ablation studies have been conducted to substantiate the synergistic advantages of combining the proposed ADD with the LRM for overall improvement in deblurring efficacy.Subsequently,we empirically demonstrate through rigorous experimentation that incorporating the LRM into an existing Uformer network leads to substantial enhancement in reconstruction performance.This integration yields a sparsity-guided low-rank network(SGLRN).Operating under the overarching principle of sparsity,SGLRN consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods across multiple standard deblurring benchmarks.Comprehensive experimental results,assessed through quantitative metrics and qualitative visual evaluations,provide compelling evidence of its effectiveness.The overall deblurring results are available at Google Drive.
文摘This opinion article discusses the original research work of Yünkül et al.(the Authors)published in the Journal of Mountain Science 21(9):3108–3122.Employing non-linear regression,fuzzy logic and artificial neural network modeling techniques,the Authors interrogated a large database assembled from the existing research literature to assess the performance of twelve equation rules in predicting the undrained shear strength(s_(u))mobilized for remolded fine-grained soils at different values of liquidity index(I_(L))and water content ratio.Based on their analyses,the Authors proposed a simple and reportedly reliable correlation(i.e.,Eq.9 in their paper)for predicting s_(u) over the I_(L) range of 0.15 to 3.00.This article describes various shortcomings in the Authors’assembled database(including potentially anomalous data and covering an excessively wide I_(L) range in relation to routine geotechnical and transportation engineering applications)and their proposed s_(u)=f(I_(L))correlation.Contrary to the Authors’assertions,their proposed correlation is not reliable for fine-grained soils with consistencies in the general firm to stiff range(i.e.,for 0.15<I_(L)<0.40),increasingly overestimating s_(u) for reducing I_(L),and eventually predicting s_(u)→+∞for I_(L)→0.15+(while producing mathematically undefined s_(u) for I_(L)<0.15),thus rendering their correlation unconservative and potentially leading to unsafe geotechnical designs.Exponential or regular-power type s_(u)=f(I_(L))models are more s_(u)itable when developing correlations that are applicable over the full plastic range(of 0<I_(L)<1),thereby providing reasonably conservative s_(u) predictions for use in the preliminary design for routine geotechnical engineering applications.

文摘Many experiments have supported the contact models,such as the GW and MB models,but the majority of previous validations have been performed under light loads,resulting in a linear relationship between normal force and contact area.However,the real contact area fraction should never equal one;there must be a limit smaller than the apparent area,implying that the real contact area cannot increase linearly indefinitely.In this paper,the real contact area between two polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA)blocks under heavy load is measured using the total reflection method,and the contact area is analyzed using the image processing method.The results show that the real contact area increases with normal load linearly in light loads but non-linearly in heavy loads;the number of contact spots increases with load linearly in light loads but also non-linearly in heavy loads,synchronous with the change in the real contact area.The GW,MB,and Zhao,Maietta,and Chang(ZMC)models were used to predict the experiment results,but none of them predicted the non-linear stage.A revised GW model based on the bulk deformation hypothesis performs better in predicting the non-linear stage.The study’s findings can be applied to PMMA or other similar materials,and they can serve as a useful reference for future research on the contact mechanisms of other materials.

文摘Piezoelectric actuators are widely utilized in positioning systems to realize nano-scale resolution. However, the backward motion always generates for some piezoelectric actuators, which reduces the working efficiency. Bionic motions have already been employed in the field of piezoelectric actuators to realize better performance. By imitating the movement form of seals, seal type piezoelectric actuator is capable to realize large operating strokes easily. Nevertheless, the conventional seal type piezoelectric actuator has a complicated structure and control system, which limits further applications. Hence, an improved bionic piezoelectric actuator is proposed to realize a long motion stroke and eliminate backward movement with a simplified structure and control method in this study. The composition and motion principle of the designed actuator are discussed, and the performance is investigated with simulations and experiments. Results confirm that the presented actuator effectively realizes the linear movement that has a large working stroke stably without backward motion. The smallest stepping displacement ΔL is 0.2 μm under 1 Hz and 50 V. The largest motion speed is 900 μm/s with 900 Hz and 120 V. The largest vertical and horizontal load are 250 g and 12 g, respectively. This work shows that the improved bionic piezoelectric actuator is feasible for eliminating backward motion and has a great working ability.

文摘This review summarizes the clinical applications and mechanisms of action of motion-style acupuncture(MSAT)in rehabilitation medicine.Patients are required to perform active or passive movements while the acupuncture needles are inserted.Owing to its effectiveness,MSAT is progressively applied in clinical settings,including musculoskeletal and neurological diseases.Acupuncture and exercise generate syner-gistic effects through interactive mechanisms.From the perspective of the Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)theory,needling with movement can trigger the propagation of the needling sensation,thereby enhancing its efficacy in dredging meridians and regulating qi-blood circulation.In modern medicine,these mechanisms include neural inhibition,ischemia/reperfusion,and fascial stimulation propagation.Although the clinical applications and mechanism research of MSAT in rehabilitation medicine have ad-vanced,the mechanisms of MSAT in treating various diseases and the scope of applicable diseases war-rant deeper exploration.This will provide novel therapeutic strategies for clinical applications,thereby advancing the integration and application of TCM therapies with exercise-based interventions.

文摘The study of capture mechanisms with high capture adaptability is the key to improving the efficiency of autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV)retrieval and release.This study aims to develop a capture mechanism for the launch and recovery of AUV and elucidate its kinematic characteristics.Initially,based on the principles of deployment and retraction for AUV capture movements,a design scheme for a novel foldable and deployable capture mechanism is proposed.Subsequently,a detailed analysis of the Degrees of Freedom(DoFs)for enveloping and grasping movements is conducted according to screw theory.Additionally,the structural design of the actuation units for the capture mechanism is thoroughly discussed.Motion screw topology diagram is utilized to construct the kinematic model.On this basis,kinematic simulation verification of the capture mechanism is performed.The theoretical analysis revealed that the DoF for enveloping and grasping movements are 6 and 2,respectively.By appropriately configuring the actuation mechanism,enveloping and grasping movements can be achieved with a single actuation.The displacement and velocity curves of the capture mechanism were smooth,with no interference occurring.Vibration test results validate the reliability of the capture mechanism.The research work provides a valuable reference for the development of novel capture equipment for AUVs.

文摘Organisms have evolved a strain limiting mechanism,reflected as a non-linear elastic constitutive,to prevent large deformations from threatening soft tissue integrity.Compared with linear elastic substrates,the wrinkle of films on non-linear elastic substrates has received less attention.In this article,a unique wrinkle evolution of the film-substrate system with a J-shaped non-linear stress-strain relation is reported.The result shows that a concave hexagonal array pattern is formed with the shrinkage strain of the film-substrate systems developing.As the interconnection of hexagonal arrays,a unit cell ridge network appears with properties such as chirality and helix.The subparagraph maze pattern formed with high compression is mainly composed of special single-cell ridge networks such as spiral single cores,chiral double cores,and combined multi-cores.This evolutionary model is highly consistent with the results of experiments,and it also predicts wrinkle morphology that has not yet been reported.These findings can serve as a novel explanation for the surface wrinkle of biological soft tissue,as well as provide references for the preparation of artificial biomaterials and programmable soft matter.
