By varying the microwave frequency, external bias magnetic field, and in-plane wave vector, in addition to observing the dipole-exchange spin waves excited by parallel parametric pumping, we further observe broadband spin wave excitation within the dipole-exchange spin wave spectrum. This broadband excitation results from the combined effects of parallel and perpendicular parametric pumping, induced by irregularities in the excitation geometry, as well as magnon–magnon scattering arising from the absence of certain spin wave modes. Our findings offer new insights into the mechanisms of energy dissipation and relaxation processes caused by spin wave excitation in magnetic devices operating at high power.展开更多

By thoroughly analyzing parametric down-conversion(PDC), we put forward a model to directly describe the spatial-spectral distribution of these photon pairs, which is experimentally demonstrated by a 532-nm pumped type-I PDC in a beta barium borate(BBO) crystal. The measured spectral curves show good agreement with the theoretical predictions over the entire spectral range. We further demonstrate that, as signal wavelength increases, the photon pairs are initially spectrally distinguishable, then partly indistinguishable, finally completely indistinguishable with a maximum bandwidth of approximately 500 nm. Utilizing photon-number-resolving single-photon detectors(SPD), we observe the average photon number decreases significantly more slowly than the spectral intensity as the wavelength deviates from the peak, and the photon numbers follow a quasi-Poisson distribution well for wavelengths around the peak, but a thermal distribution better describes the statistics near the spectral boundaries. Finally,we use the signal photons as the trigger to generate heralded Fock states up to 10 photons in near-infrared range, which are suitable for quantum simulation and quantum key distribution in optical fiber networks.展开更多

We mainly establish the sharp bounds of all terms of homogeneous polynomial expansions for a subclass of g-parametric starlike mappings of complex order γ on B (resp.U^(n))when the mappings f are k-fold symmetric, k ∈ N. Our results partly solve the Bieberbach conjecture in several complex variables and generalize some prior works.展开更多

Our findings offer new insights into the mechanisms of energy dissipation and relaxation processes caused by spin wave excitation in magnetic devices operating at high power.

文摘To analyze the correlation between the input energy parameters(V_(E))and typical intensity measures(IMs)of offshore ground motions,based on 273 earthquake events recorded by the K-NET in Japan,892 offshore ground motion records with moment magnitudes from 4.0 to 7.0 were used in this study.Residuals obtained through a ground motion model were calculated and analyzed for the correlation between V_(E) and amplitude,duration,frequency content and cumulative IMs.The results indicate that PGV and PGD have strong correlation with the V_(E)(T>0.2 s and T>0.4 s),the duration IMs have weakly negative correlation with the V_(E),Sd_(1) has a strong correlation with the V_(E) in the periods of T>0.4 s,T_(g) has a weak correlation with V_(E) and the cumulative IMs have strong correlation with the V_(E).The parametric predictive equations between typical IMs and V_(E) was proposed,and the differences between the prediction equations from the onshore ground motion records were compared.The differences in parametric predicted equations between offshore and onshore ground motions were confirmed in this study.Proposed correlation equations can be applied to offshore probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and the selection of ground motion records by generalized conditional intensity measures.

文摘To further enhance the recovery rate of low-temperature waste heat,the low-temperature flue gas in the sinter annular cooler was chosen as the heat source of an organic Rankine cycle(ORC)system,and the comprehensive evaluation of energy,exergy and economic performance of the ORC system was conducted deeply.The energy,exergy and economic performance models of the ORC system were established,and proper candidate organic working fluids(OWFs)were selected based on the thermo-physical properties of OWF and operating characteristics of ORC system.Then,the effects of ORC crucial parameters on the system energy,exergy and economic performances were evaluated in detail.Finally,the bi-objective optimization based on the genetic algorithm was conducted to analyze the optimal performance of the ORC system under the designed ORC crucial parameters,and the exergy efficiency and electricity production cost were set as the evaluation indexes of parametric optimization.The results indicate that the ORC system with the higher evaporation temperature and lower condensation temperature can obtain the larger system exergy efficiency and smaller electricity production cost.The smaller the superheat degree of OWF and pinch-point temperature difference in the evaporator are,the better the energy and exergy performances of the ORC system are.Under the optimization results,R245fa has the best comprehensive performance with the exergy efficiency of 46.34%and electricity production cost of 0.12123$/kWh among the selected candidate OWFs,which should be preferentially chosen as the OWF of the ORC system.

文摘Photon pairs with large nondegeneracy have recently attracted increasing interest, which gives rise to an urgent demand for revealing their complete and accurate spectral distribution. By thoroughly analyzing parametric down-conversion(PDC), we put forward a model to directly describe the spatial-spectral distribution of these photon pairs, which is experimentally demonstrated by a 532-nm pumped type-I PDC in a beta barium borate(BBO) crystal. The measured spectral curves show good agreement with the theoretical predictions over the entire spectral range. We further demonstrate that, as signal wavelength increases, the photon pairs are initially spectrally distinguishable, then partly indistinguishable, finally completely indistinguishable with a maximum bandwidth of approximately 500 nm. Utilizing photon-number-resolving single-photon detectors(SPD), we observe the average photon number decreases significantly more slowly than the spectral intensity as the wavelength deviates from the peak, and the photon numbers follow a quasi-Poisson distribution well for wavelengths around the peak, but a thermal distribution better describes the statistics near the spectral boundaries. Finally,we use the signal photons as the trigger to generate heralded Fock states up to 10 photons in near-infrared range, which are suitable for quantum simulation and quantum key distribution in optical fiber networks.

文摘Meshing temperature analyses of polymer gears reported in the literature mainly concern the effects of various material combinations and loading conditions,as their impacts could be seen in the first few meshing cycles.However,the effects of tooth geometry parameters could manifest as the meshing cycles increase.This study investigated the effects of tooth geometry parameters on the multi-cycle meshing temperature of polyoxymethylene(POM)worm gears,aiming to control the meshing temperature elevation by tuning the tooth geometry.Firstly,a finite element(FE)model capable of separately calculating the heat generation and simulating the heat propagation was established.Moreover,an adaptive iteration algorithm was proposed within the FE framework to capture the influence of the heat generation variation from cycle to cycle.This algorithm proved to be feasible and highly efficient compared with experimental results from the literature and simulated results via the full-iteration algorithm.Multi-cycle meshing temperature analyses were conducted on a series of POM worm gears with different tooth geometry parameters.The results reveal that,within the range of 14.5°to 25°,a pressure angle of 25°is favorable for reducing the peak surface temperature and overall body temperature of POM worm gears,which influence flank wear and load-carrying capability,respectively.However,addendum modification should be weighed because it helps with load bearing but increases the risk of severe flank wear.This paper proposes an efficient iteration algorithm for multi-cycle meshing temperature analysis of polymer gears and proves the feasibility of controlling the meshing temperature elevation during multiple cycles by tuning tooth geometry.

文摘Despite the prevalence and validity of the universal distinct element code(UDEC)in simulations in geotechnics domain,water-weakening process of rock models remains elusive.Prior research has made positive contributions to a presupposed link between modelling parameters and saturation degree,Sr.Nevertheless,this effort presents inaccurate results and limited implications owing to the misleading interpretation,that is,devoid of the basic logic in UDEC that modelling parameters should be calibrated by tested macroscopic properties in contrast to a presupposed relation with Sr.To fill this gap,a new methodology is proposed by coupling a computationally efficient parametric study with the simulation of water-weakening mechanisms.More specifically,tested macroscopic properties with different Sr values are input into parametric relations to acquire initial modelling parameters that are sequentially calibrated and modulated until simulations are in line with geomechanical tests.Illustrative example reveals that numerical water-weakening effects on macroscopic properties,mechanical behaviours,and failure configurations are highly consistent with tested ones with noticeable computational expediency,implying the feasibility and simplicity of this methodology.Furthermore,with compatibility across various numerical models,the proposed methodology substantially extends the applicability of UDEC in simulating water-weakening geotechnical problems.

文摘In this paper,the class of starlike functions of complex order γ(γ∈ℂ−{0})is extended from the case on unit disk U=(z∈C:|z|<1)to the case on the unit ball B in a complex Banach space or the unit polydisk U^(n) in C^(n).Let g be a convex function in U. We mainly establish the sharp bounds of all terms of homogeneous polynomial expansions for a subclass of g-parametric starlike mappings of complex order γ on B (resp.U^(n))when the mappings f are k-fold symmetric, k ∈ N. Our results partly solve the Bieberbach conjecture in several complex variables and generalize some prior works.
文摘This paper aims to evaluate the stochastic response of steel columns subjected to blast loads using the modified single degree of freedom(MSDOF)method,which assessed towards the conventional single degree of freedom(SDOF)and the experimentally validated Finite Element(FE)methods(LSDYNA).For this purpose,special atten-tion is given to calculating the response of H-shaped steel columns under blast.The damage amount is determined based on the support rotation criterion,which is expressed as a function of their maximum lateral mid-span dis-placement.To account for uncertainties in input parameters and obtain the failure probability,the Monte Carlo simulation(MCS)method is employed,complemented by the Latin Hypercube Sampling(LHS)method to reduce the number of simulations.A parametric analysis is hence performed to examine the effect of several input pa-rameters(including both deterministic and probabilistic parameters)on the probability of column damage as a function of support rotation.First,the MSDOF method confirms its higher accuracy in estimating the probability of column damage due to blast,compared to the conventional SDOF.The collected results also show that un-certainties of several input parameters have significant effects on the column behavior.In particular,geometric parameters(including cross-sectional characteristics,boundary conditions and column length)have major effect on the corresponding column response,in the same way of input blast load parameters and material properties.

文摘To investigate the influence of the shear lag effect on the bending shear stress of single-box multicell box gird-ers(MCBG),the shear lag warping additional deflection is selected as the generalized displacement.The governing dif-ferential equations and boundary conditions for the shear lag of the MCBG are derived using the energy variational method.Based on the shear lag warping deformation state of the MCBG and by employing the microelement equilib-rium differential equation and the coordination conditions for shear lag warping deformation,the calculation method for the bending-warping shear stress of the MCBG is de-rived,and the influence of the width-to-span and height-to span ratios on bending-warping shear stress is analyzed.Ex-ample analysis shows that the bending-warping shear stress of the MCBG calculated by the proposed calculation method coincides with the finite element solution,and the warping shear stress satisfies the self-balancing condition of shear warping,thus verifying the accuracy of the proposed method.The warping shear stress exhibits an antisymmetric distribution about the vertical axis of symmetry and has a weakening effect on the shear stress of the elementary beam(EB).The larger the width-to-span ratio is,the larger the proportion of the warping shear stress of the EB.The larger the height-to-span ratio is,the smaller the proportion of the warping shear stress and the more significant the influence of the width-to-span ratio.The more the number of cells is,the smaller the influence of the warping shear stress on the total bending shear stress.The influence of the shear lag ef-fect can be ignored in the calculation of the bending shear stress of three or more cells in the MCBG.
