Present author did exactly the same in 2001 to plan his repetition of Michelson and Morley’s (MM) 1887 experiment. The paper sketchedly summarizes the procedure to calculate expected fringeshifts in the MM interferometer for solar speeds available at Miller’s epoch. In a pre-relativistic context, amplitudes of several fringeshifts may be expected in both MM and Miller experiments. However, all interferometer experiments up to 1930 were designed under the (incorrect from a modern viewpoint) assumption that fringeshifts would be smaller than one fringe-width. The inescapable conclusion is that those experiments were not appropriate to measure the true value of solar motion, always yielding a small, but lower than expected, value for solar speed. The ensuing “negative” interpretation led to the birth of relativity theory and to a new series of experiments implicitly designed to test the relativistic hypothesis of length-contraction, while the earlier “positive” experiments were designed to test a different hypothesis: whether the motion of Earth relative to some preferred frame can be measured using an interferometer of constant dimensions. With the benefit of hindsight this writer repeated the MM experiment, correcting main weaknesses identified up to the Michelson-Morley-Miller (MMM) measurements at Mount Wilson from April 1925 to February 1926. A new possible reinterpretation of the MMM data as a sequence of stationary measurements is pointed out. Our Michelson-Morley-Miller-Munera (MMMM) experiment at Bogota (Colombia) from January 2003 to June 2005 gave values for solar absolute velocity in the same range as those obtained by astronomical means. Surprisingly, our results are compatible with modern third-party MM-type experiments designed and interpreted within relativistic contexts. Thus, a so far unexplored possibility arises: can interferometric experiments distinguish between pre-relativistic and relativistic theories? Our answer is negative.展开更多

Because of a special arc transition, the interaction between the wave field and the composite bucket foundation(CBF) becomes complicated. In this study, the hydrodynamic characteristics, including wave pressure, load, upwelling, and run-up, around the arc transition of a CBF influenced by regular waves are investigated through physical tests at Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering, Ocean University of China. The distributions of the wave pressures and upwelling ratios around the CBF are described, and the relationship between the wave load and the wave parameters is discussed. New formulae based on the velocity stagnation head theory with linear wave theory and the second-order Stokes wave theory for wave kinematics are proposed to estimate the wave run-up. Moreover, the multiple regression method with nonlinear technology is employed to deduce an empirical formula for predicting run-up heights. Results show that the non-dimensional wave load increases with the increase in the values of the wave scattering parameter and relative wave height. The wave upwelling height is high in front of the CBF and has the lowest value at an angle of 135? with the incoming wave direction. The performance of the new formulae proposed in this study is compared using statistical indices to demonstrate that a good fit is obtained by the multiple regression method and the analytical model based on the velocity stagnation head theory is underdeveloped.展开更多

The current detection methods mostly are used after casing damage, which is not very effective. With the rapid development of China's offshore oil industry, the number of offshore oil wells is becoming larger and larger. Because the cost of offshore oil well is very high, the casing damage will cause huge economic losses. What's more, it can also bring serious pollution to marine environment. So the effective methods of detecting casing damage are required badly. The accumulation of stress is the main reason for the casing damage. Magnetic anisotropy technique based on counter magnetostriction effect can detect the stress of casing in real time and help us to find out the hidden dangers in time. It is essential for us to prevent the casing damage from occurring. However, such technique is still in the development stage. Previous studies mostly got the relationship between stress and magnetic signals by physical experiment, and the study of physical mechanism in relative magnetic permeability connecting the stress and magnetic signals is rarely reported. The present paper uses the ANSYS to do the three-dimensional finite element numerical simulation to study how the relative magnetic permeability works for the oil casing model. We find that the quantitative relationship between the stress' s variation and magnetic induction intensity's variation is: Δδ =K* ΔB, K = 8.04×109, which is proved correct by physical experiment.展开更多

文摘There is an urgent need for high-quality and high-frequency clock generators for high-energy physics experiments.The transmission data rate exceeds 10 Gbps for a single channel in future readout electronics of silicon pixel detectors.Others,such as time measurement detectors,require a high time resolution based on the time-to-digital readout architecture.A phase-locked loop(PLL)is an essential and broadly used circuit in these applications.This study presents an application-specific integrated circuit of a low-jitter,low-power LC-tank that is PLL fabricated using 55-nm CMOS technology.It includes a 3rd-order frequency synthesis loop with a programmable bandwidth,a divide-by-2 pre-scaler,standard low-voltage differential signaling interfaces,and a current mode logic(CML)driver for clock transmissions.All the d-flip-flop dividers and phase-frequency detectors are protected from single-event upsets using the triple modular redundancy technique.The proposed VCO uses low-pass filters to suppress the noise from bias circuits.The tested LC-PLL covers a frequency locking range between 4.74 GHz and 5.92 GHz with two sub-bands.The jitter measurements of the frequency-halved clock(2.56 GHz)are less than 460 fs and 0.8 ps for the random and deterministic jitters,respectively,and a total of 7.5 ps peak-to-peak with a bit error rate of 10^(-12).The random and total jitter values for frequencies of 426 MHz and 20 MHz are less than 1.8 ps and 65 ps,respectively.The LC-PLL consumed 27 mW for the core and 73.8 mW in total.The measured results nearly coincided with the simulations and validated the analyses and tests.
文摘Beishan Rock Carvings in Chongqing,a renowned cultural heritage site in China,flourished during the Tang and Song dynasties and are often referred to as the“Stone Carving Art Museum of the Tang and Song Dynasties.”Cave 168 is a key component of the Beishan Rock Carvings.At present,several through-going cracks have developed in the roof of Cave 168,severely compromising the structural stability of the grotto.The early internal steel plate supports have suffered severe corrosion and can no longer provide effective reinforcement.In addition,the presence of steel columns obstructs visitor access and negatively affects the viewing experience.A new reinforcement method is urgently needed.Therefore,studying the deformation patterns of the structure is of critical importance.This study analyzes the stratigraphic parameters and fracture distribution of Cave 168,considering key influencing factors such as rainfall,self-weight,and the overlying Quaternary soil.On-site monitoring and physical model experiments were conducted to evaluate the changes in roof crack width and displacement before and after reinforcement with negative Poisson's ratio(NPR)anchor cables.The results reveal that the roof of Cave 168 contains several through-going cracks and numerous microcracks,which serve as infiltration channels for surface water.These accelerate the softening of the mudstone and pose a significant threat to the cave's structural safety.During the experiment,the main change in the crack exhibited a“semi-archshaped”propagation pattern.In the first ten minutes,as the rock transitioned from dry to moist conditions,a slight crack closure was observed.As rainfall continued,crack propagation accelerated.After rainfall ceased,crack width remained stable over a short period.Under NPR anchor support,the influence of rainfall on roof settlement was effectively mitigated,ensuring the safety and stability of the roof.The NPR anchors successfully limited the roof settlement to within 0.3 mm and provided effective control over both total and differential settlement.These findings offer valuable insights into the application of NPR anchor cables in the conservation of grotto heritage structures.

文摘Plant roots improve the stability of collapsing walls and prevent their collapse;they are thus important for controlling the degree of Benggang erosion in southern China.The vegetation species on the collapsing walls are diverse,and the interaction of the root systems with soil affects the stability of the collapsing walls.Most recent studies have only examined the effects of single plants.In order to investigate the effects of the roots of different vegetation types on the shear strength of soil in collapsing walls and their interaction mechanisms of action,this study was conducted using the roots of the herb Dicranopteris dichotoma and the shrub Melastoma candidum.A direct shear test of indoor remodeled soil was carried out by varying water content(15%,25%)and herb to shrub root ratio(100:0,75:25,50:50,25:75,and 0:100).The results showed that the shear strength(96.09 kPa)and cohesion(49.26 kPa)of root-containing soil were significantly higher than plain soil(91.77 kPa,42.17 kPa),and the highest values were obtained when herb to shrub root ratio was 100:0(113.27 kPa,62.85 kPa).Here,tensile tests and scanning electron microscopy revealed that the tensile force and tensile strength of the roots of Dicranopteris dichotoma were weaker but effective for maintaining soil stability because of their abundance roots,which could achieve a stronger bond to soil.Simultaneously,herbaceous roots have a small diameter,the Root Area Ratio(RAR)of the roots is larger under the same mass condition,which can better contact with soil and the mechanical properties of roots are fully utilized.Therefore,the soil shear strength is higher and can better resist external damage when herbaceous roots accounts for a larger proportion.The results of this research have implications for the selection and allocation of ecological measures for prevention and control of Benggang.
文摘The instability and failure of high rock slopes have a significant impact on the safe mining operations.Therefore,revealing the instability mechanism of high rock slopes is of great research significance.This paper aims to reveal the instability mechanism of high rock slopes through physical model tests and numerical simulations.Taking the slope failure on the west side of Pit 1 of Husab Uranium Mine in Namibia in 2021 as the research background,a physical model of the high rock slope of Husab Uranium Mine was established by combining with on-site geological data.The experimental system was monitored by a GoPro camera,a CCD camera,and strain sensors.The damage evolution process of the high rock slope model was analyzed,and numerical simulation verification was carried out using Flac 3D software.Thus,the instability mechanism of the slope failure in this open-pit mine was revealed from multiple perspectives.The results show that the instability mechanism of the high rock slope was determined through the evolution of the displacement field and strain field during the model excavation process,as well as the deformation characteristics of the images at the time of instability and failure.The slope deformation process can be divided into four stages:the initial inter-layer dislocation stage,the crack generation stage,the crack propagation stage,and the crack penetration and failure stage.The results of the model experiment and numerical simulation confirm the consistency between the failure mode of the model slope and the actual slope failure on-site,providing guidance for the prevention and control projects of similar types of mine failures.

文摘In 2018,a catastrophic high-altitude landslide occurred at Baige,located within the tectonic suture zone of the Upper Jinsha River.The failure mechanism of this event remains poorly understood.This study aims to elucidate the deformation characteristics and failure mechanism of the Baige landslide by employing a comprehensive methodology,including field geological surveys,analysis of historical remote sensing imagery,high-density electrical resistivity surveys,and advanced displacement monitoring.Additionally,the physical modeling experiments were conducted to replicate the unique failure modes.The findings propose a novel perspective on the failure mechanism of the Baige landslide,which involves two critical stages:first,the brittle shear zone bypasses and fails at the lower locked segment,and second,the failure of the upper locked segment,combined with the shear zone's impact on the lower locked segment,triggers overall slope instability.Physical modeling experiments revealed a transition from initial acceleration to a rapid acceleration phase,particularly marked by a significant increase in velocity following the failure of the upper locked segment.The intensity of acoustic emission signals was found to correlate with the failure of the locked segments and the state of particle collisions post-failure.It offers new insights into the failure mechanisms of tectonic mélange belt large-scale landslides in suture zones,contributing to the broader field of landslide research.
文摘If Michelson were to answer the question posed in the title, given the line of reasoning he used in 1881, Michelson would seat at his desktop computer to calculate the expected fringeshifts for several solar speeds around 400 km/s and various directions of motion. Present author did exactly the same in 2001 to plan his repetition of Michelson and Morley’s (MM) 1887 experiment. The paper sketchedly summarizes the procedure to calculate expected fringeshifts in the MM interferometer for solar speeds available at Miller’s epoch. In a pre-relativistic context, amplitudes of several fringeshifts may be expected in both MM and Miller experiments. However, all interferometer experiments up to 1930 were designed under the (incorrect from a modern viewpoint) assumption that fringeshifts would be smaller than one fringe-width. The inescapable conclusion is that those experiments were not appropriate to measure the true value of solar motion, always yielding a small, but lower than expected, value for solar speed. The ensuing “negative” interpretation led to the birth of relativity theory and to a new series of experiments implicitly designed to test the relativistic hypothesis of length-contraction, while the earlier “positive” experiments were designed to test a different hypothesis: whether the motion of Earth relative to some preferred frame can be measured using an interferometer of constant dimensions. With the benefit of hindsight this writer repeated the MM experiment, correcting main weaknesses identified up to the Michelson-Morley-Miller (MMM) measurements at Mount Wilson from April 1925 to February 1926. A new possible reinterpretation of the MMM data as a sequence of stationary measurements is pointed out. Our Michelson-Morley-Miller-Munera (MMMM) experiment at Bogota (Colombia) from January 2003 to June 2005 gave values for solar absolute velocity in the same range as those obtained by astronomical means. Surprisingly, our results are compatible with modern third-party MM-type experiments designed and interpreted within relativistic contexts. Thus, a so far unexplored possibility arises: can interferometric experiments distinguish between pre-relativistic and relativistic theories? Our answer is negative.

文摘In the design of wind turbine foundations for offshore wind farms, the wave load and run-up slamming on the supporting structure are the quantities that need to be considered. Because of a special arc transition, the interaction between the wave field and the composite bucket foundation(CBF) becomes complicated. In this study, the hydrodynamic characteristics, including wave pressure, load, upwelling, and run-up, around the arc transition of a CBF influenced by regular waves are investigated through physical tests at Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering, Ocean University of China. The distributions of the wave pressures and upwelling ratios around the CBF are described, and the relationship between the wave load and the wave parameters is discussed. New formulae based on the velocity stagnation head theory with linear wave theory and the second-order Stokes wave theory for wave kinematics are proposed to estimate the wave run-up. Moreover, the multiple regression method with nonlinear technology is employed to deduce an empirical formula for predicting run-up heights. Results show that the non-dimensional wave load increases with the increase in the values of the wave scattering parameter and relative wave height. The wave upwelling height is high in front of the CBF and has the lowest value at an angle of 135? with the incoming wave direction. The performance of the new formulae proposed in this study is compared using statistical indices to demonstrate that a good fit is obtained by the multiple regression method and the analytical model based on the velocity stagnation head theory is underdeveloped.

文摘The casing damage has been a big problem in oilfield production. The current detection methods mostly are used after casing damage, which is not very effective. With the rapid development of China's offshore oil industry, the number of offshore oil wells is becoming larger and larger. Because the cost of offshore oil well is very high, the casing damage will cause huge economic losses. What's more, it can also bring serious pollution to marine environment. So the effective methods of detecting casing damage are required badly. The accumulation of stress is the main reason for the casing damage. Magnetic anisotropy technique based on counter magnetostriction effect can detect the stress of casing in real time and help us to find out the hidden dangers in time. It is essential for us to prevent the casing damage from occurring. However, such technique is still in the development stage. Previous studies mostly got the relationship between stress and magnetic signals by physical experiment, and the study of physical mechanism in relative magnetic permeability connecting the stress and magnetic signals is rarely reported. The present paper uses the ANSYS to do the three-dimensional finite element numerical simulation to study how the relative magnetic permeability works for the oil casing model. We find that the quantitative relationship between the stress' s variation and magnetic induction intensity's variation is: Δδ =K* ΔB, K = 8.04×109, which is proved correct by physical experiment.
文摘Due to safety concerns and habitat restoration for landlocked salmon,a 13-m high check dam on Chijiawan Creek was removed in late May 2011 in Taiwan.We conducted experiments to understand channel evolution of different scenarios.We further compared our experimental results of riverbed elevation changes with the analytical solutions derived from the diffusion equation and field dynamics as well after the creek experienced the first flood event.The results indicated that magnitude of discharges and notch size are dominant factors in resulting channel evolution.While the largest differences between grain size distribution are associated with discharge,the largest differences in net change in upstream volume are associated with notch size.While the theoretical equation could help understand the channel change after dam removal,it only explained the evolution closer to the dam.The physical experiments,on the other hand,provided insights especially with regard to comparing alternative proposed management actions.The discrepancies between predicted and actual outcome highlight more needed inputs for future dam-removal assessments.

文摘This paper presents a novel experiment to observe the whole water entry process of a free-falling sphere into a regular wave.A time-accurate synchronizing system modulates the moment elaborately to ensure the sphere impacting onto the water surface at the desirable wave phase.Four high-speed cameras focus locally to measure the high-precision size of the cavity evolution.Meanwhile,the aggregated field view of the camera array covers both the splash above the free surface and the entire cavity in the wave.The detailed methodologies are described and verified for the hardware set-up and the image post-processing.The theoretical maximum deviation is 1.7%on the space scale.The integral morphology of the cavity is captured precisely in the coordinate system during the sphere penetrates through the water at four representative wave phases and the still water.The result shows that the horizontal velocity of the fluid particle in the wave impels the cavity and changes the shape distinctly.Notably,the wave motion causes the cavity to pinch offearlier at the wave trough phase and later at the wave crest phase than in the still water.The wave motion influences the falling process of the sphere slightly in the present parameters.
