文摘The intrinsic interaction mechanism of flutter between the flow and structure of a rectangular plate remains a mystery from the viewpoint of unsteady flow.The present study provides a novel insight into this interaction mechanism based on an adequate understanding of the formation and evolution of the flapping leading-edge vortex(LEV).A series of wind tunnel tests was conducted to investigate the nonlinear flutter instability of an 8∶1 rectangular plate.The complete flow fields around the model throughout the flutter process were obtained by a particle image velocimetry(PIV)technique using two synchronous cameras with an interpolation and resampling method.To acquire the flow structures corresponding to the characteristic frequency of flutter,the spectral proper orthogonal decomposition(SPOD)method was extended to a noninertial frame to reconstruct the low-rank flow field during flutter and extract the characteristic flow pattern coupled with oscillations.It was found that when the 8∶1 rectangular plate undergoes flutter,the LEVs exhibit a periodic flapping phenomenon induced by the structure oscillations.A two-dimensional correlation analysis of the flapping LEVs was conducted for different inflow velocities.The results demonstrate that there is a substantial phase lead phenomenon in the LEV evolution downstream for a higher inflow velocity.This phenomenon may be related to a phase offset of aerodynamic forces,and finally,it gives rise to flutter.

文摘This study aimed to address the challenges of solid waste utilization,cost reduction,and carbon reduction in the treatment of deep-dredged soil at Xuwei Port in Lianyungang city of China.Past research in this area was limited.Therefore,a curing agent made from powdered shells was used to solidify the dredged soil in situ.We employed laboratory orthogonal tests to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of the powdered shell-based curing agent.Data was collected by conducting experiments to assess the role of powdered shells in the curing process and to determine the optimal ratios of powdered shells to solidified soil for different purposes.The development of strength in solidified soil was studied in both seawater and pure water conditions.The study revealed that the strength of the solidified soil was influenced by the substitution rate of powdered shells and their interaction with cement.Higher cement content had a positive effect on strength.For high-strength solidified soil,the recommended ratio of wet soil:cement:lime:powdered shells were 100:16:4:4,while for low-strength solidified soil,the recommended ratio was 100:5.4:2.4:0.6.Seawater,under appropriate conditions,improved short-term strength by promoting the formation of expansive ettringite minerals that contributed to cementation and precipitation.These findings suggest that the combination of cement and powdered shells is synergistic,positively affecting the strength of solidified soil.The recommended ratios provide practical guidance for achieving desired strength levels while considering factors such as cost and carbon emissions.The role of seawater in enhancing short-term strength through crystal formation is noteworthy and can be advantageous for certain applications.In conclusion,this research demonstrates the potential of using a powdered shell-based curing agent for solidifying dredged soil in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner.The recommended ratios for different strength requirements offer valuable insights for practical applications in the field of soil treatment,contributing to sustainable and efficient solutions for soil management.

文摘Due to water conflicts and allocation in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin(LMRB),the spatio-temporal differentiation of total water resources and the natural-human influence need to be clarified.This work investigated LMRB's terrestrial water storage anomaly(TWSA)and its spatio-temporal dynamics during 2002–2020.Considering the effects of natural factors and human activities,the respective contributions of climate variability and human activities to terrestrial water storage change(TWSC)were separated.Results showed that:(1)LMRB's TWSA decreased by 0.3158 cm/a.(2)TWSA showed a gradual increase in distribution from southwest of MRB to middle LMRB and from northeast of LRB to middle LMRB.TWSA positively changed in Myanmar while slightly changed in Laos and China.It negatively changed in Vietnam,Thailand and Cambodia.(3)TWSA components decreased in a descending order of soil moisture,groundwater and precipitation.(4)Natural factors had a substantial and spatial differentiated influence on TWSA over the LMRB.(5)Climate variability contributed 79%of TWSC in the LMRB while human activities contributed 21%with an increasing impact after 2008.The TWSC of upstream basin countries was found to be controlled by climate variability while Vietnam and Cambodia's TWSC has been controlled by human activities since 2012.

文摘Accurate predictions of the Remaining useful life(RUL)of mechanical equipment are vital for lowering maintenance costs and maintaining equipment reliability and safety.Datadriven RUL prediction methods have made significant progress,but they often assume that the training and testing data have the same distribution,which is often not the case in practical engineering applications.To address this issue,this paper proposes a residual useful life prediction model that combines deep learning and transfer learning.In this model,called transfer convolutional attention mechanism for early-life stage time convolutional network(TCAM-EASTCN),an unsupervised domain adaptation strategy is introduced based on the characterization of subspace distances and orthogonal basis mismatch penalties in the convolutional attention mechanism for early-life stage time convolutional network(CAMEASTCN).This approach minimizes the distribution differences between different domains,enhancing the learning of cross-domain invariant features and effectively reducing the distribution gap between the source and target domains,thereby improving the accuracy of RUL prediction under varying conditions.Experimental results demonstrate that TCAMEASTCN outperforms other models in terms of RUL prediction accuracy and generalization.
文摘Sixth Generation(6G)mobile communication networks will involve sensing as a new function,with the overwhelming trend of Integrated Sensing And Communications(ISAC).Although expanding the serving range of the networks,there exists performance trade-offbetween communication and sensing,in that they have competitions on the physical resources.Different resource allocation schemes will result in different sensing and communication performance,thus influencing the system’s overall performance.Therefore,how to model the system’s overall performance,and how to optimize it are key issues for ISAC.Relying on the large-scale deployment of the networks,cooperative ISAC has the advantages of wider coverage,more robust performance and good compatibility of multiple monostatic and multistatic sensing,compared to the non-cooperative ISAC.How to capture the performance gain of cooperation is a key issue for cooperative ISAC.To address the aforementioned vital problems,in this paper,we analyze the sensing accuracy gain,propose a unified ISAC performance evaluation framework and design several optimization methods in cooperative ISAC systems.The cooperative sensing accuracy gain is theoretically analyzed via Cramér Rao lower bound.The unified ISAC performance evaluation model is established by converting the communication mutual information to the effective minimum mean squared error.To optimize the unified ISAC performance,we design the optimization algorithms considering three factors:base stations’working modes,power allocation schemes and waveform design.Through simulations,we show the performance gain of the cooperative ISAC system and the effectiveness of the proposed optimization methods.
文摘The injection of bone cement is a promising surgical intervention for the treatment of osteoporosis.The aim of this study was to formulate a novel injectable bioactive bone cement to adress such medical problems.The bone cement primarily consists of tricalcium phosphate(β-TCP),konjac glucomannan(KGM),and hydroxyapatite whisker(HAw).An orthogonal experiment was designed to generate multiple sets of new composite calcium phosphate cement(NCPC)samples,and their setting times were measured.The in vitro compatibility of the new bone cement was assessed through relative cell proliferation rate(RGR)and in vitro cell growth experiments.Mechanical strength and porosity tests were conducted for each group of bone cement,and cross-sectional morphology was observed.The results demonstrate that the bone cement exhibits favorable properties such as self-curing,mechanical robustness,and resistance to collapse.The optimum formulation involves a doping ratio of 5/15(wt%)HAw and HA,an additional amount of 1.2wt%KGM,and a liquid citric acid concentration of 2wt%.Porosity tests confirmed that the material has high compressive strength and a favorable porosity of 27%,creating conducive conditions for cell growth,proliferation,and material degradation.Moreover,in vitro cell culture experiments revealed excellent biocompatibility of the material.Consequently,the developed NCPC emerges as a potential candidate material for applications of bone implantation.

文摘Extensive spatiotemporal analyses of long-trend surface ozone in the Yangtze River Delta(YRD)region and itsmeteorology-related and emission-related have not been systematically analyzed.In this study,by using 8-year-long(2015–2022)surface ozone observation data,we attempted to reveal the variation ofmultiple timescale components using the Kolmogorov–Zurbenko filter,and the effects of meteorology and emissions were quantitatively isolated using multiple linear regression with meteorological variables.The results showed that the short-term,seasonal,and long-term components accounted for daily maximum 8-hr average O_(3)(O_(3–8)hr)concentration,46.4%,45.9%,and 1.0%,respectively.The meteorological impacts account for an average of 71.8%of O_(3–8)hr,and the YRD’s eastern and northern sections aremeteorology-sensitive areas.Based on statistical analysis technology with empirical orthogonal function,the contribution of meteorology,local emission,and transport in the long-term component of O_(3–8)hr were 0.21%,0.12%,and 0.6%,respectively.The spatiotemporal analysis indicated that a distinct decreasing spatial pattern could be observed from coastal cities towards the northwest,influenced by the monsoon and synoptic conditions.The central urban agglomeration north and south of the YRD was particularly susceptible to local pollution.Among the cities studied,Shanghai,Anqing,and Xuancheng,located at similar latitudes,were significantly impacted by atmospheric transmission—the contribution of Shanghai,the maximum accounting for 3.6%.
