文摘An in-depth understanding of the behaviours of solid propellants under low-velocity impact loads is crucial for enhancing their safety in applications such as aerospace propulsion.This study investigated the dynamic responses of single ammonium perchlorate(AP)/octogen(HMX)particles embedded in a hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene(HTPB)binder under dynamic compression loading via real-time synchrotron-based X-ray phase contrast imaging and a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)system.The compression of the viscoelastic binder and subsequent dynamic fracturing of the AP/HMX particles were captured.During compression,transverse cracks developed within the AP particles,and their propagation led to particle fracturing,resulting in ductile fracturing.Unlike AP,HMX generated numerous short cracks within the internal and edge regions simultaneously,leading to fragmentation and brittle fracturing.Moreover,particle damage reduced the modulus of the sample,shifting its dynamic stress response from nonlinear elasticity to strain softening and further strain hardening as the binder exhibited plastic deformation.A compression simulation incorporating a real particle microscopic structure was established to study the mechanical response of the interface and particles.The simulation results agreed with the experimental observations.These results indicate that the shear stress at the HTPB-AP interface is greater than that at the HTPB-HMX interface,which is a factor influencing the differences in the mesoscale damage mechanisms of the particles.

文摘This paper proposes an equivalent modeling method for photovoltaic(PV)power stations via a particle swarm optimization(PSO)K-means clustering(KMC)algorithm with passive filter parameter clustering to address the complexities,simulation time cost and convergence problems of detailed PV power station models.First,the amplitude–frequency curves of different filter parameters are analyzed.Based on the results,a grouping parameter set for characterizing the external filter characteristics is established.These parameters are further defined as clustering parameters.A single PV inverter model is then established as a prerequisite foundation.The proposed equivalent method combines the global search capability of PSO with the rapid convergence of KMC,effectively overcoming the tendency of KMC to become trapped in local optima.This approach enhances both clustering accuracy and numerical stability when determining equivalence for PV inverter units.Using the proposed clustering method,both a detailed PV power station model and an equivalent model are developed and compared.Simulation and hardwarein-loop(HIL)results based on the equivalent model verify that the equivalent method accurately represents the dynamic characteristics of PVpower stations and adapts well to different operating conditions.The proposed equivalent modeling method provides an effective analysis tool for future renewable energy integration research.

文摘The influence mechanism of MgO particle fineness on the properties of MOC was comprehensively explored through means of grinding,sieving,hydration and apparent density testing,in conjunction with characterization methods such as setting time,stability,compressive strength,and microscopic morphology.The findings reveal that MOC demonstrates excellent stability and mechanical properties when the particle fineness of MgO is less than 75μm.When the MgO particle fineness exceeds 75μm,MOC exhibits superior fluidity and maneuverability.When 0.75μm MgO is employed as the raw material to prepare MOC,a water-cement ratio of 0.6 proves more favorable.These results can furnish a theoretical foundation for the preparation and application of MOC.

文摘Rock-ice avalanches in cold high-mountain regions pose severe hazards due to their high mobility,yet the quantitative controls of particle-size ratio and ice content remain insufficiently constrained.This study investigates their coupled effects using inclinedflume experiments and Discrete Element Method(DEM)simulations,covering three gravel sizes(2-5 mm,5-7 mm,7-10 mm)and four ice-content levels(0%,20%,40%,60%).Run-out distance,velocity,energy components,flow regime(Savage number),and segregation indexαwere quantified.Increasing ice content significantly enhances mobility,but with diminishing marginal effectiveness.From 0%to 40%ice content,run-out distance increases by 41%-86%,whereas the additional increase from 40%to 60%contributes only 12%-23%.Particle-size ratio strongly governs segregation intensity.Fine-gravel groups reach segregation indices ofα=0.92-0.98,indicating nearly complete upward migration of ice,whereas medium-gravel and coarse-gravel groups exhibit much weaker segregation,stabilizing atα=0.68-0.74 and 0.60-0.69.Savage number analyses reveal marked flow-regime transitions.At 0%ice content,Savage numbers reach 1.0-1.5,indicating a collisional regime.Increasing ice content suppresses collisionality,with Savage numbers decreasing to 0.03-0.07 at 60%ice content,consistent with dense-regime flow.DEM energy analyses confirm this regime shift:for finegravel mixtures,collision energy decreases by 14%,while sliding-friction energy increases by 33%as ice content increases from 0%to 60%,reflecting enhanced overburden effects imposed by upward-segregated ice layers.Medium and coarse mixtures exhibit weaker or opposite energy-shift patterns,demonstrating strong size dependence.Mechanistically,large particle-size contrasts promote strong segregation and form dense basal rock layers that increase basal friction and reduce mobility.When particle sizes are similar or ice content is high,segregation remains limited,allowing ice to mix into the basal layer,thereby reducing basal friction and enhancing mobility.This research quantitatively demonstrates how composition controls particle spatial distribution,flow regime,and energy dissipation,offering new mechanistic insights into the propagation and deposition behaviors of rock-ice avalanches and improving hazard assessment in vulnerable high-mountain regions.

文摘During electrochemical machining(ECM),the passivation film formed on the surface of titanium alloy can lead to uneven dissolution and pitting.Solid particle erosion can effectively remove this passivation film.In this paper,the electrochemical dissolution behavior of Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V(TA15)titanium alloy at without particle impact,low(15°)and high(90°)angle particle impact was investigated,and the influence of Al_(2)O_(3)particles on ECM was systematically expounded.It was found that under the condition of no particle erosion,the surface of electrochemically processed titanium alloy had serious pitting corrosion due to the influence of the passivation film,and the surface roughness(Sa)of the local area reached 10.088μm.Under the condition of a high-impact angle(90°),due to the existence of strain hardening and particle embedding,only the edge of the surface is dissolved,while the central area is almost insoluble,with the surface roughness(S_(a))reaching 16.086μm.On the contrary,under the condition of a low-impact angle(15°),the machining efficiency and surface quality of the material were significantly improved due to the ploughing effect and galvanic corrosion,and the surface roughness(S_(a))reached 2.823μm.Based on these findings,the electrochemical dissolution model of TA15 titanium alloy under different particle erosion conditions was established.

文摘Imidazole(IM)particles in the atmosphere affect climate,atmospheric chemical reactions,and human health.However,research on IM particles in the Sichuan Basin(SCB),one of the areas of China affected most heavily by haze,remains very scarce.This study used single-particle aerosol mass spectrometry to investigate IM-containing particles in Chengdu,one of the megacities in the SCB,during summer and winter before and after implemen-tation of the Three-year Action Plan to Win the Blue-Sky Defense War(BSDW).We found that IM-containing particles accounted for 1.2%–12.0%of all detected particles,and they highly mixed with carbonaceous com-ponents,secondary inorganic species,and organic nitrogen.From before to after the BSDW,the proportion of IM-containing particles decreased by 1.8%in summer,but increased by 9.6%in winter.Ammonium/amines and carbonyl compounds were closely related to IM-containing particles;the highest proportion of IM-containing particles occurred in particles mixed with amines and carbonyls.The number fraction of IM-containing particles in all seasons was higher at night than during daytime.The potential source areas of IM-containing particles showed notable narrowing after the BSDW,and the high-value areas were found distributed closer to Chengdu and its surrounding areas.In the winter before the BSDW,most IM-containing particles(>70%)were mixed with organic carbon(OC)particles,and the contributions of OC and mixed organic–elemental carbon(OC-EC)particles increased with aggravation of pollution,whereas OC-EC and Metal particles played a more crucial role in the winter after the BSDW.

文摘In this study,the mechanism and characteristics of the responseαparticles and the damage caused by them in CMOS active pixel(APS)sensors were investigated.A detection and compensation algorithm for dead pixels caused byαparticle ionizing radiation was proposed,and the effects of dead-pixel compensation algorithms were compared and analyzed under different parameter conditions.The experimental results show thatαparticle response signal has highest accuracy at 9 dB gain,with an obvious“target-ring”distribution.With increasing cumulative dose,the CMOS APS pedestal tends to saturation while dead pixels continue increasing.Though some pixel damage recovers through natural annealing,the dead-to-noise ratio increases with irradiation time,reaching 32.54%after 72 h.A hierarchical clustering dead-pixel detection method is proposed,categorizing pixels into two types:those within and outside the response event.A classification compensation strategy combining mean and majority filtering is proposed.This compensation algorithm can address dead-pixel interference without affectingαparticle radiation response data.When iterated multiple times and with integration time exceeding 6.31 ms,the number of dead pixels can be effectively reduced.

文摘Particle-fluid two-phase flows in rock fractures and fracture networks play a pivotal role in determining the efficiency and effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing operations,a vital component in unconventional oil and gas extraction.Central to this phenomenon is the transport of proppants,tiny solid particles injected into the fractures to prevent them from closing once the injection is stopped.However,effective transport and deposition of proppant is critical in keeping fracture pathways open,especially in lowpermeability reservoirs.This review explores,then quantifies,the important role of fluid inertia and turbulent flows in governing proppant transport.While traditional models predominantly assume and then characterise flow as laminar,this may not accurately capture the complexities inherent in realworld hydraulic fracturing and proppant emplacement.Recent investigations highlight the paramount importance of fluid inertia,especially at the high Reynolds numbers typically associated with fracturing operations.Fluid inertia,often overlooked,introduces crucial forces that influence particle settling velocities,particle-particle interactions,and the eventual deposition of proppants within fractures.With their inherent eddies and transient and chaotic nature,turbulent flows introduce additional complexities to proppant transport,crucially altering proppant settling velocities and dispersion patterns.The following comprehensive survey of experimental,numerical,and analytical studies elucidates controls on the intricate dynamics of proppant transport under fluid inertia and turbulence-towards providing a holistic understanding of the current state-of-the-art,guiding future research directions,and optimising hydraulic fracturing practices.

文摘Feature selection serves as a critical preprocessing step inmachine learning,focusing on identifying and preserving the most relevant features to improve the efficiency and performance of classification algorithms.Particle Swarm Optimization has demonstrated significant potential in addressing feature selection challenges.However,there are inherent limitations in Particle Swarm Optimization,such as the delicate balance between exploration and exploitation,susceptibility to local optima,and suboptimal convergence rates,hinder its performance.To tackle these issues,this study introduces a novel Leveraged Opposition-Based Learning method within Fitness Landscape Particle Swarm Optimization,tailored for wrapper-based feature selection.The proposed approach integrates:(1)a fitness-landscape adaptive strategy to dynamically balance exploration and exploitation,(2)the lever principle within Opposition-Based Learning to improve search efficiency,and(3)a Local Selection and Re-optimization mechanism combined with random perturbation to expedite convergence and enhance the quality of the optimal feature subset.The effectiveness of is rigorously evaluated on 24 benchmark datasets and compared against 13 advancedmetaheuristic algorithms.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the compared algorithms in classification accuracy on over half of the datasets,whilst also significantly reducing the number of selected features.These findings demonstrate its effectiveness and robustness in feature selection tasks.

文摘In the present work,the porous Ti particle reinforced Mg-based bulk metallic glass matrix composites(BMGCs)have been successfully fabricated via a novel in-situ dealloying method in metallic melt.A dual reinforcing structure,including large-scale between porous particles and fine-scale inside one particle,was induced to further overcome the strength-plasticity tradeoff.The microstructure and mechanical properties of such dual-scale structure-reinforced BMGCs with various volume fractions and diameters of porous Ti particles were investigated in detail.It is found that with more and finer porous Ti particles,the BMGC showed both high fracture strength(1131.9±39.1 MPa)and good plastic deformability(1.48±0.38%).The characteristic of the reinforcing structure(0.48μm)inside the porous particles was close to the plastic processing zone size of the matrix(0.1~0.2μm),which generated a locally ideal reinforcing structure.Such dual-scale reinforcing structures with more interfaces can effectively promote the multiplication of shear bands at the interfaces.Due to the size effect,the refined submicron matrix between the Ti ligaments inside the porous particles should exhibit homogeneous shearing events.Such delocalization behavior from the dual-scale reinforcing structures should help to enhance the role of the interactions between shear bands,thus improving the yield strength of the composites.Based on the in-situ dealloying method,the dual-scale structure design provides a novel approach to fabricate various BMGCs with both high strength and good plasticity.

文摘In this study,a fifth-degree cubature particle filter(5CPF)is proposed to address the limited estimation accuracy in traditional particle filter algorithms for bearings-only tracking(BOT).This algorithm calculates the recommended density function by introducing a fifth-degree cubature Kalman filter algorithm to guide particle sampling,which effectively alleviates the problem of particle degradation and significantly improves the estimation accuracy of the filter.However,the 5CPF algorithm exhibits high computational complexity,particularly in scenarios with a large number of particles.Therefore,we propose the extended Kalman filter(EKF)-5CPF algorithm,which employs an EKF to replace the time update step for each particle in the 5CPF.This enhances the algorithm’s real-time capability while maintaining the high precision advantage of the 5CPF algorithm.In addition,we construct bearing-only dual-station and single-motion station target tracking systems,and the filtering performances of 5CPF and EKF-5CPF algorithms under different conditions are analyzed.The results show that both the 5CPF algorithm and EKF-5CPF have strong robustness and can adapt to different noise environments.Furthermore,both algorithms significantly outperform traditional nonlinear filtering algorithms in terms of convergence speed,tracking accuracy,and overall stability.

文摘This study investigates the motion behavior of a slender flexible particle in a backward-facing step(BFS)flow using the direct-forcing fictitious domain method,with a particular focus on the trapping phenomena near the separation vortex region.Three distinct motion modes are identified:periodic rotation or oscillation within the vortex(trapping),downstream transport(escape),and transition state exhibiting unstable trapping.A dynamic balance among inward migration,centrifugal effects,wall interactions,and elastic forces enables the particle to achieve stable orbital motion within two distinct limit cycles.The topology of these orbits is governed by parameters,including the aspect ratio,structural flexibility,deformation intensity,and fluid inertia,all of which are characterized by the Reynolds number(Re).Specifically,fluid inertia plays a dominant role in facilitating particle trapping.At a fixed Re,a particle with a smaller aspect ratio tends to migrate inward and become trapped,whereas one with a larger aspect ratio is more likely to escape.Structural flexibility,especially when enhanced by confinement near the wall,leads to elastic deformation that induces secondary vortices and a weak flipping motion.The deformation intensityαsignificantly influences the lateral migration of the slender particle after the initial release;a largerαcauses it to drift toward the channel centerline,increasing the probability of escape.These findings provide a theoretical foundation for optimizing the transport and capture of slender soft swimmers in complex flow environments.
文摘Multi-label feature selection(MFS)is a crucial dimensionality reduction technique aimed at identifying informative features associated with multiple labels.However,traditional centralized methods face significant challenges in privacy-sensitive and distributed settings,often neglecting label dependencies and suffering from low computational efficiency.To address these issues,we introduce a novel framework,Fed-MFSDHBCPSO—federated MFS via dual-layer hybrid breeding cooperative particle swarm optimization algorithm with manifold and sparsity regularization(DHBCPSO-MSR).Leveraging the federated learning paradigm,Fed-MFSDHBCPSO allows clients to perform local feature selection(FS)using DHBCPSO-MSR.Locally selected feature subsets are encrypted with differential privacy(DP)and transmitted to a central server,where they are securely aggregated and refined through secure multi-party computation(SMPC)until global convergence is achieved.Within each client,DHBCPSO-MSR employs a dual-layer FS strategy.The inner layer constructs sample and label similarity graphs,generates Laplacian matrices to capture the manifold structure between samples and labels,and applies L2,1-norm regularization to sparsify the feature subset,yielding an optimized feature weight matrix.The outer layer uses a hybrid breeding cooperative particle swarm optimization algorithm to further refine the feature weight matrix and identify the optimal feature subset.The updated weight matrix is then fed back to the inner layer for further optimization.Comprehensive experiments on multiple real-world multi-label datasets demonstrate that Fed-MFSDHBCPSO consistently outperforms both centralized and federated baseline methods across several key evaluation metrics.
文摘In the present study,we concentrate on finding the dual solutions of biomagnetic fluid namely blood flow and heat transfer along with magnetic particles over a two dimensional shrinking cylinder in the presence of a magnetic dipole.To make the results physically realistic,stability analysis is also carried out in this study so that we realized which solution is stable and which is not.The governing partial equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations and the numerical solution is calculated by applying bvp4c function technique in MATLAB software.The effects of different physical parameters are plotted graphically and discussed according to the outcomes of results.From the present study we observe that ferromagnetic interaction parameter had a great influenced on fluid velocity and temperature distributions.It is also found from the current analysis that the first and second solutions of shrinking cylinder obtained only when we applied particular ranges values of suction parameter.The most important characteristics part of study is to analyze the skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer which also covered in this analysis.It reveals that both skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer are reduced with rising values of ferromagnetic number.A comparison has also been made to make the solution feasible.

文摘To understand the applicability of high-temperature preformed particle gel(HT-PPG)for control of short-circuiting in enhanced geothermal systems(EGSs),core flooding experiments were conducted on fractured granite cores under varying fracture widths,gel particle sizes and swelling ratios.Key parameters such as injection pressure,water breakthrough pressure,and residual resistance factor were measured to evaluate HT-PPG performance.The gel exhibited strong injectability,entering granite fractures at pressure gradients as low as 0.656 MPa/m;HT-PPG yields a superior sealing performance by significantly reducing the permeability;and dehydration occurs during HT-PPG propagation,with a dehydration ratio ranging from 4.71%to 11.36%.This study reveals that HT-PPG can be injected into geothermal formations with minimal pressure yet provides strong resistance to breakthrough once in place.This balance of injectability and sealing strength makes HT-PPG effective for addressing thermal short-circuiting in EGS reservoirs.

文摘Colitis-associated colorectal cancer(CAC)is a major contributor to cancer-related mortality worldwide.Titanium dioxide(TiO_(2),E171),a widely used food additive,has been insufficiently studied regarding its effects on macrophages within colon tumors during CAC development.In this study,CAC mouse models were used to investigate the biological impact of dietary E171 on macrophages in vivo,while lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cell lines were employed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms in vitro.We found that dietary E171 intake accelerated CAC development,exacerbated inflammatory responses and oxidative stress,and upregulated CAC-associated genes,including S100a8,S100a9,Lcn2,S100a11,Cxcl2,and interleukin-1α(Il-1α).E171 also increased the expression of S100A8,S100A9,NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3(NLRP3),and gasdermin-D Nterminal(GSDMD-N)in macrophages within colon tumors.In inflammatory macrophages,E171 exposure enhanced cell viability,increased reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels,and elevated the expression and secretion of S100A8 and S100A9,consistent with in vivo histological observations.Furthermore,E171-induced secretion of S100A8 and S100A9 in macrophages was suppressed by specific inhibitors,including N-acetylcysteine(NAC,ROS inhibitor),MCC950(NLRP3 inhibitor),Z-YVAD-FMK(caspase 1 inhibitor),disulfiram(GSDMD inhibitor),and transfection of NLRP3 small interfering ribonucleic acid(siRNA).These results indicate that dietary E171 promotes CAC development by activating macrophages,with S100A8 and S100A9 serving as key mediators,and the NLRP3/caspase 1/GSDMD pathway acting as a critical mechanism.
