This paper investigates the effect of heat treatment on residual stresses induced in AISI 1025, manufactured using LENS. Finite element model was developed and simulated to analyze residual stress development. AISI 1025 samples suitable for tool and die applications in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) filament production, were fabricated using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process, followed by heat treatment where annealing and quenching processes were done. The material’s microstructure, residual stress and hardness of heat-treated samples under investigation, were compared against the as-built samples. The results indicated that after annealing, tensile residual stresses were reduced by 93%, resulting in a reduced crack growth rate, compared to the as-built sample, although the hardness was reduced significantly by 25%. On the other hand, high tensile residual stresses of 425 ± 14 MPa were recorded after quenching process with an improvement of hardness by 21%.展开更多

This study analyzed the maintenance stage of this event using highresolution convection-permitting numerical simulations, with a focus on vorticity budgets of the environmental flow, multiscale synoptic diagnostics, and Rotunno-Klemp-Weisman(RKW) theory. These analyses aimed to elucidate the mechanisms governing the morphological transition, the generation of associated convective gales, and the prolonged maintenance of the squall line event. The results show that the numerical simulation accurately reproduced the development and evolution of the squall line, particularly its location, with surface wind errors remaining within a reasonable range. The development of a mesoscale vortex modulated the dynamic and water vapor fields, providing favorable mesoscale environmental conditions for the organization and maintenance of the squall line. Vorticity budget analysis indicates that the divergence and tilting terms were the primary contributors to vorticity tendency. After the squall line entered Jiangxi Province, it exhibited a sharper leading edge and enhanced upward motion. Dry intrusion from the mid-toupper troposphere led to rapid downward momentum transfer at the meso-γ scale, thereby generating convective gales. In addition, the enhancement of the rear-inflow jet(RIJ) was related to the pressure difference between the interior and exterior of system, which resulted from the phase change of condensate within tilted updrafts. The RIJ was orthogonal to the squall line, causing it to transform from a linear into a bowing shape. Diagnosis based on the RKW theory underscore the important roles in both low-level and deep vertical wind shear in maintenaning the squall line. The ratios of the cold pool propagation velocity to the vertical wind shear were close to 1, which balanced with the ambient horizontal vorticity that allowed the convection to remain upright, thus sustaining the squall line's intensity for an extended period. In summary, the squall line event was sustained by a favorable environment created by the environmental vortex. The dry intrusion from the mid-to-upper troposphere and intensified RIJ resulted in the severe convective winds, while the balance between cold pool and ambient vertical wind shear promoted the system's prolonged maintenance. These findings provide an effective reference for the short-range forecasting of squall lines throughout their lifecycle.展开更多

文摘The internal and external flow fields during vented explosions of methane were characterized through numerical simulation,and the capability of numerical simulation thereof was validated by previous experimental data at three ignition positions.The venting mechanism was revealed by the simulated concentration distribution,temperature profile,and airflow velocity.The results show rear ignition results in the external methane mass distribution taking the form of"mushroom"and columnar flames in the external space,which can be expressed as a third-order polynomial relationship with distance;central ignition forms a relationship of the form y=AxB.Front ignition causes the temperature to show a tendency to repeated oscillations(rising,falling,and rising).Central ignition generates the maximum vented airflow velocity(V_(max)=320 m/s)upon vent opening.The results indicate that it is acceptable to apply numerical simulation of methane explosions in practice.

文摘With the increasing development of deepburied engineering projects,rockburst disasters have become a frequent concern.Studies have indicated that tunnel diameter is a critical factor influencing the occurrence of rockbursts.To investigate the influence of tunnel diameter on the deformation and failure characteristics of surrounding rock,large-sized rocklike gypsum specimens were tested using a selfdeveloped true triaxial rockburst loading system containing circular tunnels with three different diameters(D=0.07 m,0.11 m,and 0.15 m).Acoustic emission monitoring,together with a miniature intelligent camera,was employed to analyze the entire process,focusing on macroscopic failure patterns,fragment characteristics,and underlying failure mechanisms.In addition,theoretical analyses were carried out and combined with numerical simulations to investigate the differences in energy evolution associated with rockburst physical models.The results indicate that:(1)The rockburst process with different tunnel diameters consistently evolved through three distinct stages—initial particle ejection,crack propagation accompanied by flake spalling,and,finally,fragment ejection leading to the formation of a‘V'-shaped notch.(2)Increasing tunnel diameter reduces rockburst failure load while increasing surrounding rock damage extent,total mass and average size of ejected fragments.Additionally,shear failure proportion decreases with tensile failure becoming increasingly dominant.(3)Larger tunnel diameters reduce the attenuation rate of elastic strain energy,thereby expanding the zone of elastic strain energy accumulation and disturbance and creating conditions for larger volume rockburst.(4)Larger tunnel diameters result in a smaller principal stress ratio at equivalent distances in the surrounding rock,indicating a higher likelihood of tensile failure.(5)Numerical analyses further reveal that larger tunnel diameters reduce the maximum elastic strain energy density around the tunnel,lowering the energy released per unit volume of rockburst fragments and their ejection velocities.However,both the total failure volume and overall energy release from rockburst increase.Model experiments with different tunnel diameters are of great significance for optimizing engineering design and parameter selection,as well as guiding tunnel construction under complex geological conditions.

文摘This study employs the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH)method to develop a computational fluid dynamics(CFD)model for analyzing the interaction between rogue waves and mooring systems.Four floating body configurations are investigated:(1)dual rectangular prisms,(2)rectangular prism–sphere composites,(3)sphere–rectangular prism composites,and(4)dual spheres.These configurations are systematically evaluated under varying mooring conditions to assess their hydrodynamic performance and wave attenuation capabilities.The model accurately captures the complex fluid–structure interaction dynamics between moored floating breakwaters and incident wave fields.Among the configurations,the dual rectangular prism system demonstrates superior performance in both wave dissipation and mooring force reduction.Under conditions involving dual wave makers,the influence of floating body shape and number on wave height is found to be minimal.However,dual-body arrangements consistently outperform single-body setups in terms of both energy dissipation and structural stability.From a cost-efficiency perspective,the configuration comprising two rectangular prisms connected via a single mooring system offers significant advantages in material usage and deployment feasibility.

文摘The pressure wave generated by an urban-rail vehicle when passing through a tunnel affects the comfort of passengersand may even cause damage to the train and related tunnel structures.Therefore,controlling the trainspeed in the tunnel is extremely important.In this study,this problem is investigated numerically in the frameworkof the standard k-εtwo-equation turbulence model.In particular,an eight-car urban rail train passingthrough a tunnel at different speeds(140,160,180 and 200 km/h)is considered.The results show that the maximumaerodynamic drag of the head and tail cars is most affected by the running speed.The pressure at selectedmeasuring points on the windward side of the head car is very high,and the negative pressure at the side windowof the driver’s cab of the tail car is also very large.From the head car to the tail car,the pressure at the same heightgradually decreases.The positive pressure peak at the head car and the negative pressure peak at the tail car aregreatly affected by the speed.
文摘Enhancing the fermentation efficiency of waste in waste warehouses is pivotal for accelerating the pyrolysis process and minimizing harmful gas emissions.This study proposes an integrated approach,combining hot air injection with dual atomizing nozzles,for the thermal treatment of waste piles.Numerical simulations are employed to investigate the influence of various parameters,namely,nozzle height,nozzle tilt angle,inlet air velocity and air temperature,on the droplet diffusion process,spread area,droplet temperature,and droplet size distribution.The results show that reducing the nozzle height increases the temperature of droplets upon their deposition on the waste pile.Specifically,when the nozzle height is lowered to 1.5 m,the temperature of the droplets reaching the waste pile is 1℃higher than when the nozzle height is set at 2 m.Furthermore,an increase in the nozzle tilt angle expands the overlapping heating area.For instance,when the nozzle angle is increased from 15°to 30°,the overlapping spread area expands by 3.21 m2.Additionally,increasing the inlet air velocity enhances the droplet diffusion range.At an air velocity of 2 m/s,the droplet diffusion range grows to 14.4 m,representing a 6.7%increase compared to the nowind condition.While the average droplet diameter decreases to 1.53 mm,the droplet temperature decreases by 1℃.Moreover,the droplet temperature is found to become smaller as the ambient temperature inside the waste warehouse declines.Specifically,a 5℃reduction in the ambient temperature results in a 1℃decrease in the average temperature of the atomized droplets.The study concludes that a nozzle height of 1.5 m and a nozzle tilt angle of 30°effectively meet practical heating requirements.

文摘The “3·31” severe squall line event in eastern China was notable for its exceptional intensity and persistence,posing significant challenges to forecast accuracy. This study analyzed the maintenance stage of this event using highresolution convection-permitting numerical simulations, with a focus on vorticity budgets of the environmental flow, multiscale synoptic diagnostics, and Rotunno-Klemp-Weisman(RKW) theory. These analyses aimed to elucidate the mechanisms governing the morphological transition, the generation of associated convective gales, and the prolonged maintenance of the squall line event. The results show that the numerical simulation accurately reproduced the development and evolution of the squall line, particularly its location, with surface wind errors remaining within a reasonable range. The development of a mesoscale vortex modulated the dynamic and water vapor fields, providing favorable mesoscale environmental conditions for the organization and maintenance of the squall line. Vorticity budget analysis indicates that the divergence and tilting terms were the primary contributors to vorticity tendency. After the squall line entered Jiangxi Province, it exhibited a sharper leading edge and enhanced upward motion. Dry intrusion from the mid-toupper troposphere led to rapid downward momentum transfer at the meso-γ scale, thereby generating convective gales. In addition, the enhancement of the rear-inflow jet(RIJ) was related to the pressure difference between the interior and exterior of system, which resulted from the phase change of condensate within tilted updrafts. The RIJ was orthogonal to the squall line, causing it to transform from a linear into a bowing shape. Diagnosis based on the RKW theory underscore the important roles in both low-level and deep vertical wind shear in maintenaning the squall line. The ratios of the cold pool propagation velocity to the vertical wind shear were close to 1, which balanced with the ambient horizontal vorticity that allowed the convection to remain upright, thus sustaining the squall line's intensity for an extended period. In summary, the squall line event was sustained by a favorable environment created by the environmental vortex. The dry intrusion from the mid-to-upper troposphere and intensified RIJ resulted in the severe convective winds, while the balance between cold pool and ambient vertical wind shear promoted the system's prolonged maintenance. These findings provide an effective reference for the short-range forecasting of squall lines throughout their lifecycle.

文摘This study proposes a novel cyclone separator with a conical inner core to enhance particle classification efficiency in oil and gas wellhead-recovered liquids.Particle motion and force dynamics are analyzed to optimize key structural parameters,including inlet diameter(D_i),overflow pipe diameter(D_(e)),insertion depth(L_(e)),and bottom flow pipe diameter(D_(z)).Numerical simulations employ the Reynolds stress turbulence model,SIMPLEC algorithm,and discrete phase model to evaluate separation performance in a gas-liquid two-phase system.Results indicate that a smaller D_i improves fine particle separation but increases turbulence;an optimal range of D_i/D_(c)=0.35-0.4 is recommended.Larger D_(e) enhances the diversion ratio,aiding fine particle discharge(D_(e)/D_(c)=0.25-0.35).Increased Le facilitates fine particle overflow but induces vortices,whereas a smaller L_(e) stabilizes the bottom flow for larger particle separation(L_(e)/D_(c)=0.5-0.75).A reduced D_(z) enhances centrifugal force and separation efficiency but may cause turbulence;an optimal D_(z)/D_(c) of 0.6-0.65 is suggested for stability.These findings provide valuable design guidelines for improving cyclone separator performance in multiphase flow applications.

文摘Both the complex geometrical morphology of rough-walled rock fractures and the nonlinearity of fluid flow contribute to resistance in fluid flow through rock fractures.The interactions of the shear-flow process further complicate the characterisation of flow behaviours in rock fractures.In this study,an improved friction factor model involving both the effects of viscous and inertial forces is presented based on the Forchheimer equation.The model incorporates two key variables,i.e.Reynolds number and relative roughness,which reflect the effects of flow regimes and fracture roughness,respectively.The changes in geometrical parameters induced by shearing are considered,with the peak asperity height predicted through a correlation with post-peak roughness degradation.The hydraulic aperture during shearing is estimated using a suggested equation that accounts for the mobilised contact area ratio and variable aperture distribution.The parametric sensitivity analysis reveals that shear-induced changes in fracture geometry enhance the flow nonlinearity in rock fractures.The model performs well in predicting the friction factor based on two validation criteria.Then,the proposed friction factor model is incorporated into the three-dimensional distinct element code(3DEC)in the form of the Darcy-Weisbach equation.Coupled with the numerically implemented mechanical model and hydraulic aperture prediction model,numerical simulations of coupled shear-flow processes in single rock fractures are conducted.The simulation outcomes are validated through comparison with the experimental results,showing acceptable agreement and demonstrating that the numerical model is capable of accurately evaluating the hydro-mechanical coupling behaviour during the shearing of rock fractures.

文摘A self-centering bridge bent equipped with energy-dissipation(ED)beams is proposed.Quasi-static tests are conducted on self-centering bridge bents,both with and without ED beams,to validate the accuracy of the corresponding numerical models.The effects of various param-eters,such as the web area of ED beams,prestressing force of tendons,tendon arrangements,and number of column segments,on the seismic performance of self-centering bridge bents with ED beams are evaluated using the validated numerical model.The results demonstrate that the nu-merical models accurately replicate the quasi-static test results,with average errors in the lateral force remaining below 9.6%.The web area of ED beams significantly affects the strength,cumulative energy dissipation,and relative self-centering index(RSI)of the self-centering bridge bents.Increasing the prestressing force enhances the lateral force and self-centering capability of the bridge bents but has minimal effect on their ED capacity.Reducing the num-ber of segments in each column enhances the lateral force and cumulative hysteretic energy dissipation of the self-centering bridge bents while exerting an insignificant effect on the RSI.Thus,the proposed novel system is highly suitable for doubleor multicolumn piers supporting bridges in regions prone to strong earthquakes.

文摘Shale gas reservoirs have large burial depths,thin thickness,and low resistance,which lead to problems with weak surface observation,abnormal information,and multiple inversion solutions.The traditional electromagnetic method cannot effectively identify information from deep,low-resistance thin layers in terms of detection depth and accuracy.Wide field electromagnetic method(WFEM)with large depth and high precision has become the main method for deep earth exploration.This method has been widely used in the exploration of deep oil and gas energy,as well as mineral resources.However,an in-depth analysis of the various factors that affect the deep detection ability of WFEM is lacking.Therefore,the analysis of system parameters has significant theoretical importance and practical value for studying the effectiveness of WFEM in deep-layer identification.In this study,a multilayer geoelectric model is established in this study using the measured well data.The influence characteristics of different observation system parameters on the resolution of specific deep-seated targets under the WFEM_E-Ex mode are analyzed in detail through forward modeling and inversion.Results show that the resolution ability of WFEM for deep,low-resistance thin layers is affected by factors such as transceiver distance,target layer thickness,and resistivity difference between the target body and the surrounding rock,but the influence range differs.This study analyzes the influence characteristics of various system parameters.It provides targeted work scheme design and feasibility analysis for deep shale gas exploration.It also offers an important theoretical basis for optimizing construction schemes and improving the recognition ability of WFEM for deep,low-resistance targets.

文摘Energy resolution calibration is crucial for gamma-ray spectral analysis,as measured using a scintillation detector.A locally constrained regularization method was proposed to determine the resolution calibration parameters.First,a Monte Carlo simulation model consistent with an actual measurement system was constructed to obtain the energy deposition distribution in the scintillation crystal.Subsequently,the regularization objective function is established based on weighted least squares and additional constraints.Additional constraints were designed using a special weighting scheme based on the incident gamma-ray energies.Subsequently,an intelligent algorithm was introduced to search for the optimal resolution calibration parameters by minimizing the objective function.The most appropriate regularization parameter was determined through mathematical experiments.When the regularization parameter was 30,the calibrated results exhibited the minimum RMSE.Simulations and test pit experiments were conducted to verify the performance of the proposed method.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can determine resolution calibration parameters more accurately than the traditional weighted least squares,and the test pit experimental results show that the R-squares between the calibrated and measured spectra are larger than 0.99.The accurate resolution calibration parameters determined by the proposed method lay the foundation for gamma-ray spectral processing and simulation benchmarking.

文摘This study explores the influence of rotor blade angle on stall inception in an axial fan by means of numerical simulations grounded in the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)equations and the Realizable k-εturbulence model.By analyzing the temporal behavior of the outlet static pressure,along with the propagation velocity of stall inception,the research identifies distinct patterns in the development of stall.The results reveal that stall inception originates in the second rotor impeller.At a blade angle of 27°,the stall inception follows a modal wave pattern,while in all other cases,it assumes the form of spike-type stall.The flow field associated with spike stall inception demonstrates a relatively uniform gradient in the radial direction,whereas the modal wave stall case displays a distinctive“L”-shaped propagation feature.At blade angles of multiple stall inceptions are observed.-9°and-18°,These phenomena initiate at the blade’s leading edge,propagate along both axial and radial directions,and transition dynamically between single and multiple inception states.

文摘The longitudinal cracks distributed along the dam axis in the corridor of a dam may have potential safety hazards.According to the detection results of crack depth and width and the analysis of monitoring data,a three-dimensional finite element model is established for numerical simulation calculation and the influence of cracks on the safety of dam structure is analyzed from different aspects such as deformation,stress value,and distribution range.The calculation results show that the maximum principal tensile stress value and the location of the dam body are basically independent of the change of crack depth(within 1.0 m).Regarding local stress around the corridor,the high upstream water level causes cracks to deepen,resulting in an increase in the maximum tensile stress near the crack tip and an expansion of the tensile stress region.

文摘The inflation tests of rubbery membranes have been widely employed as an efficient method to characterize the stress response as biaxial loading states.However,most of the previous theoretical works have employed classic hyperelastic models to analyze the deformation behaviors of inflated membranes.The classic models have been demonstrated to lack the ability to capturing the biaxial deformation of rubbers.To address this issue,we have combined the analytical method and the finite element simulation to investigate the deformation response of soft membranes with different constitutive relationships.For the analytical method,the governing ordinary differential equations have been set up for the boundary value problem of inflation tests and further solved using the shooting method.The analytical results are consistent with those obtained from finite element simulation.The results show that the deformation belongs to the unequal biaxial condition rather than the equi-biaxial state unless a neo-Hookean model is adopted.We also perform a parameter study using the extended eight-chain model,which shows that a change in different parameters affects the mechanical response of inflation tests variously.This work may shed light on the future experimental characterization of soft materials using inflation experiments.

文摘Wire arc additive manufacturing(WAAM)has emerged as a promising approach for fabricating large-scale components.However,conventional WAAM still faces challenges in optimizing microstructural evolution,minimizing additive-induced defects,and alleviating residual stress and deformation,all of which are critical for enhancing the mechanical performance of the manufactured parts.Integrating interlayer friction stir processing(FSP)into WAAM significantly enhances the quality of deposited materials.However,numerical simulation research focusing on elucidating the associated thermomechanical coupling mechanisms remains insufficient.A comprehensive numerical model was developed to simulate the thermomechanical coupling behavior in friction stir-assisted WAAM.The influence of post-deposition FSP on the coupled thermomechanical response of the WAAM process was analyzed quantitatively.Moreover,the residual stress distribution and deformation behavior under both single-layer and multilayer deposition conditions were investigated.Thermal analysis of different deposition layers in WAAM and friction stir-assisted WAAM was conducted.Results show that subsequent layer deposition induces partial remelting of the previously solidified layer,whereas FSP does not cause such remelting.Furthermore,thermal stress and deformation analysis confirm that interlayer FSP effectively mitigates residual stresses and distortion in WAAM components,thereby improving their structural integrity and mechanical properties.
