Here we will summarize three experiments where the influence of rippling is essential to address the results. Firstly, we observed that atomic vacancies lessen the negative thermal expansion coefficient(TEC) of free-standing graphene.We also observed an increase of the Young's modulus with global applied strain and with the introduction of small density defects that we attributed to the decrease of rippling. Here, we will focus on a surprising feature observed in the data: the experiments consistently indicate that only the rippling with wavelengths between 5 and 10 nm influences the mechanics of graphene. The rippling responsible of the negative TEC and anomalous elasticity is thought to be dynamic, i.e. flexural phonons. However, flexural phonons with these wavelengths should have minor effects on the mechanics of graphene, therefore other mechanisms must be considered to address our observations. We propose static ripples as one of the key elements to correctly understand the thermomechanics of graphene and suggest that rippling arises naturally due to a competition of symmetry breaking and anharmonic fluctuations.展开更多

However, the conventional linear permanent magnet synchronous motor(LPMSM) suffers from thrust ripple, which degrades the motor performance. The thrust ripple in LFSPMs is mainly caused by detent force and asymmetric electromagnetic parameters, excluding external disturbances. Moreover, the 12/13 slot-pole LFSPM exhibits unique inductance characteristics, which lead to different effects on thrust ripple. First, the detent force in the LFSPM is analyzed through finite element method(FEM). In addition, new finite element(FE) models are proposed for further analysis of the cogging force in LFSPMs. Second, the unique inductance characteristics of the 12/13 slot-pole LFSPM are investigated, and then the thrust ripple caused by asymmetric electromagnetic parameters is calculated by the virtual displacement method. Third, the mathematical model considering the thrust ripple is established for the LFSPM, which provides a foundation for subsequent research on thrust ripple suppression control strategies. Finally, the thrust ripple analysis is validated by comparing FEM results, modeling simulations, and experimental data.展开更多

In order to construct a completely integrated control design philosophy to reduce torque ripple and at the same time to enhance tracking performance, the properties of nonlinear uncertainties in the system dynamics are uncovered, and then incorporated into the design of the controller. The system uncertainties concerned with ripple dynamics and other external disturbances are composed of two categories. The first category of uncertainties with linear parameterization arising from the detention effect is dealt with by the wellknown adaptive control method. A robust adaptive method is used to deal with the second category of uncertainties resulting from the non-sinusoidal flux distribution. The μ-modification scheme is used to cease parameter adaptation by the robust adaptive control law, thus ensuring that the trajectory tracking error asymptotically converges to a pre-specified boundary. Experiments are performed with a typical hybrid stepping motor to test its profile tracking accuracy. Results confirm the proposed control scheme.展开更多

文摘The solar interfacial evaporation has a broad application prospect in the fields of steam generation and seawater desalination to deal with the global shortage of fresh-water resources.Bamboo is a great material for solar interface evaporators because of its low thermal conductivity and inherent micro-channel porous structure.In this paper,a novel bamboo-based solar interface evaporator with a bionic ripple wave surface structure has been proposed.The subsequent evaporation experiments have been conducted to investigate the salt resistance,stability and water absorption of the bionic ripple bamboo based solar interface evaporator.The results have exhibited that the bamboo's water absorption has been enhanced after carbonization modification.Besides,it should be pointed out that this bamboo-based evaporator’s evaporation rate has dropped during the prolonged simulated seawater evaporation experiment,yet it remained fairly consistent at approximately 1.626 kg·m^(-2)·h^(-1).The appearance for this experimental phenomenon is the decrease of the floatability of the evaporator constricted by the stored water body absorbed by the evaporator and the deposition of NaCl crystals at the photothermal interface.Besides,compared with the plate-structure evaporator,the salt deposition in the evaporator equipped with the bionic ripple wave surface structure is greatly improved.In regard to its advantages in low cost,environmental friendliness,good salt tolerance and high evaporation rate,the bamboo-based solar interface evaporator with a bionic ripple wave surface structure can provide a potential solution to the global problem of fresh-water shortage.

文摘This study investigates the bifurcation dynamics underlying rhythmic transitions in a biophysical hippocampal–cortical neural network model.We specifically focus on the membrane potential dynamics of excitatory neurons in the hippocampal CA3 region and examine how strong coupling parameters modulate memory consolidation processes.Employing bifurcation analysis,we systematically characterize the model's complex dynamical behaviors.Subsequently,a characteristic waveform recognition algorithm enables precise feature extraction and automated detection of hippocampal sharp-wave ripples(SWRs).Our results demonstrate that neuronal rhythms exhibit a propensity for abrupt transitions near bifurcation points,facilitating the emergence of SWRs.Critically,temporal rhythmic analysis reveals that the occurrence of a bifurcation is not always sufficient for SWR formation.By integrating one-parameter bifurcation analysis with extremum analysis,we demonstrate that large-amplitude membrane potential oscillations near bifurcation points are highly conducive to SWR generation.This research elucidates the mechanistic link between changes in neuronal self-connection parameters and the evolution of rhythmic characteristics,providing deeper insights into the role of dynamical behavior in memory consolidation.

文摘The flow ripple caused by an axial piston pump may lead to pipe vibrations and lower hydraulic component reliability,which are of particular concern in hydraulic systems.The valve plate of the pump is considered the part most related to flow ripple,and its structural design is an important topic.In this study,an analytical model for the axial piston pump flow ripple was established and verified using a numerical analysis with computational fluid dynamics(CFD)calculations.Moreover,a parametric analysis of the valve plate was performed to investigate the critical parameters and their ranges.A fast optimization method,the rotation vector optimization method(RVOM),was proposed for the valve plate design and compared with the currently used optimization methods to prove its efficiency.As a constant-pressure pump works in different states of swashplate angle,outlet pressure,and pump speed,an optimization principle for the entire working status was proposed to achieve the overall reduction performance.A test rig for an aircraft hydraulic pump was established,and validation experiments were conducted.It was determined that the optimized pump could achieve reduction at multiple working statuses,and the largest pressure pulsation reduction ratios for the typical speed and speed sweep tests reached 64.7%and 71.7%,respectively.The model and method proposed in this study are proven to be effective and accurate.

文摘Linear flux-switching permanent magnet motors(LFSPMs) have been proposed for long stator applications such as rail transit. However, the conventional linear permanent magnet synchronous motor(LPMSM) suffers from thrust ripple, which degrades the motor performance. The thrust ripple in LFSPMs is mainly caused by detent force and asymmetric electromagnetic parameters, excluding external disturbances. Moreover, the 12/13 slot-pole LFSPM exhibits unique inductance characteristics, which lead to different effects on thrust ripple. First, the detent force in the LFSPM is analyzed through finite element method(FEM). In addition, new finite element(FE) models are proposed for further analysis of the cogging force in LFSPMs. Second, the unique inductance characteristics of the 12/13 slot-pole LFSPM are investigated, and then the thrust ripple caused by asymmetric electromagnetic parameters is calculated by the virtual displacement method. Third, the mathematical model considering the thrust ripple is established for the LFSPM, which provides a foundation for subsequent research on thrust ripple suppression control strategies. Finally, the thrust ripple analysis is validated by comparing FEM results, modeling simulations, and experimental data.

文摘With the development of More Electric Aircraft(MEA),the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(PMSM)is widely used in the MEA field.The PMSM control system of MEA needs to consider the system reliability,and the inverter switching frequency of the inverter is one of the impacting factors.At the same time,the control accuracy of the system also needs to be considered,and the torque ripple and flux ripple are usually considered to be its important indexes.This paper proposes a three-stage series Model Predictive Torque and Flux Control system(three-stage series MPTFC)based on fast optimal voltage vector selection to reduce switching frequency and suppress torque ripple and flux ripple.Firstly,the analytical model of the PMSM is established and the multi-stage series control method is used to reduce the switching frequency.Secondly,selectable voltage vectors are extended from 8 to 26 and a fast selection method for optimal voltage vector sectors is designed based on the hysteresis comparator,which can suppress the torque ripple and flux ripple to improve the control accuracy.Thirdly,a three-stage series control is obtained by expanding the two-stage series control using the P-Q torque decomposition theory.Finally,a model predictive torque and flux control experimental platform is built,and the feasibility and effectiveness of this method are verified through comparison experiments.

文摘Hydrodynamic instability growth at the deuterium-tritium(DT)fuel-ablator interface plays a critical role in determining the performance of inertial confinement fusion implosions.During the late stages of implosion,insufficient doping of the ablator material can result in highenergy X-ray preheat,which may trigger the development of a classical-like Rayleigh-Taylor instability(RTI)at the fuel-ablator interface.In implosion experiments at the Shenguang 100 kJ-level laser facility,the primary source of perturbation is the roughness of the inner DT ice interface.In this study,we propose an analytical model to describe the feed-out process of the initial roughness of the inner DT ice interface.The perturbation amplitude derived from this model serves as the initial seed for the late-time RTI during the acceleration phase.Our findings confirm the presence of classical-like RTI at the fuel-ablator interface.Numerical simulations conducted using a radiation hydrodynamic code validate the proposed analytical model and demonstrate the existence of a peak mode number in both the feed-out process and the classical-like RTI.It provides an alternative bridge between the current target fabrication limitations and the unexpected implosion performance.

文摘In the direct drive inertial confinement fusion(ICF)scheme,a rippled interface between the ablator and the deuterium–tritium ice fuel can feed out and form perturbation seeds for the ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability,with undesirable effects.However,the evolution of this instability remains insufficiently studied,and the effects of high-Z dopant on this instability remain unclear.In this paper,we develop a theoretical model to calculate the feedout seeds and describe this instability.Our theory suggests that the feedout seeds are determined by the ablation pressure and the adiabatic index,while the subsequent growth depends mainly on the ablation velocity.Two-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations confirm our theory.It is shown that targets with high-Z dopant in the outer ablator exhibit more severe feedout seeds,because of their higher ionization compared with undoped targets.The X-ray pre-ablation in high-Z doped targets significantly suppresses subsequent growth,leading to suppression of short-wavelength perturbations.However,for long-wavelength perturbations,this suppression is weakened,resulting in increased instability in high-Z doped targets.The results are helpful for understanding the innerinterface-initiated instability and the influence of high-Z dopant on it,providing valuable insights for target design and instability control in ICF.
文摘A robust adaptive control approach is presented to improve the performance of the control scheme proposed in the authors＇ previous work, aiming at producing a low ripple hybrid stepping motor servo drive for precision profile tracking at a low speed. In order to construct a completely integrated control design philosophy to reduce torque ripple and at the same time to enhance tracking performance, the properties of nonlinear uncertainties in the system dynamics are uncovered, and then incorporated into the design of the controller. The system uncertainties concerned with ripple dynamics and other external disturbances are composed of two categories. The first category of uncertainties with linear parameterization arising from the detention effect is dealt with by the wellknown adaptive control method. A robust adaptive method is used to deal with the second category of uncertainties resulting from the non-sinusoidal flux distribution. The μ-modification scheme is used to cease parameter adaptation by the robust adaptive control law, thus ensuring that the trajectory tracking error asymptotically converges to a pre-specified boundary. Experiments are performed with a typical hybrid stepping motor to test its profile tracking accuracy. Results confirm the proposed control scheme.
