The large amount of excavation unloading of the soil below is also easy to induce the uneven settlement deformation of the existing structure above, affecting the safety of driving. Based on the shield tunnel project between Caoqiao Station and Lize Business District Station of Beijing Metro, this paper restores the construction site by constructing the finite element numerical model of the project area, calculates and analyzes the deformation and stress of the existing railway structure before and after the construction of the tunnel, and determines the safety impact of the new structure on the existing railway. The results show that the shield tunnel undercrossing construction will cause the “concave” settlement of the railway subgrade above. Under the condition of grouting reinforcement, the “concave” settlement curve is slower and the distribution range is wider. With the advancement of the construction step, the settlement deformation of the subgrade gradually increases. When the tunnel approaches and passes directly below the subgrade, the settlement deformation curve of the subgrade changes from slow to steep. After the tunnel passes away, the curve changes from steep to slow, and the deformation of the subgrade reaches the maximum after the tunnel is connected. Under the grouting condition, the maximum settlement deformation of the subgrade is 2.08 mm, which is about 45% of the settlement deformation of the subgrade under the non-grouting condition. The ground grouting reinforcement can effectively control the subgrade settlement, and the field monitoring verifies the rationality of the calculation results. After the tunnel passes underneath, the most unfavorable section of the existing railway frame bridge is located at the top plate of the structure, and the maximum crack width is 0.178 mm. After grouting reinforcement, the stress environment of the structure is improved, the crack width generated by the structure is smaller, the reinforcement area required for calculation is less, and the structural safety meets the requirements.展开更多

文摘The construction of the new tunnel under the existing railway will break the original stress balance in the engineering area, resulting in the secondary redistribution of surrounding rock stress. The large amount of excavation unloading of the soil below is also easy to induce the uneven settlement deformation of the existing structure above, affecting the safety of driving. Based on the shield tunnel project between Caoqiao Station and Lize Business District Station of Beijing Metro, this paper restores the construction site by constructing the finite element numerical model of the project area, calculates and analyzes the deformation and stress of the existing railway structure before and after the construction of the tunnel, and determines the safety impact of the new structure on the existing railway. The results show that the shield tunnel undercrossing construction will cause the “concave” settlement of the railway subgrade above. Under the condition of grouting reinforcement, the “concave” settlement curve is slower and the distribution range is wider. With the advancement of the construction step, the settlement deformation of the subgrade gradually increases. When the tunnel approaches and passes directly below the subgrade, the settlement deformation curve of the subgrade changes from slow to steep. After the tunnel passes away, the curve changes from steep to slow, and the deformation of the subgrade reaches the maximum after the tunnel is connected. Under the grouting condition, the maximum settlement deformation of the subgrade is 2.08 mm, which is about 45% of the settlement deformation of the subgrade under the non-grouting condition. The ground grouting reinforcement can effectively control the subgrade settlement, and the field monitoring verifies the rationality of the calculation results. After the tunnel passes underneath, the most unfavorable section of the existing railway frame bridge is located at the top plate of the structure, and the maximum crack width is 0.178 mm. After grouting reinforcement, the stress environment of the structure is improved, the crack width generated by the structure is smaller, the reinforcement area required for calculation is less, and the structural safety meets the requirements.

文摘With the rapid development of intelligent electronic and military equipment,multifunctional flexible materials that integrat electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding,temperature sensing,and information encryption are urgently required.This study presents a bio-inspired hierarchical composite foam fabricated using supercritical nitrogen foaming technology.This material exhibits a honeycomb structure,with pore cell sizes controllable within a range of 30–92μm by regulating the filler.The carbon fiber felt(CFf)provides efficient reflection of electromagnetic waves,while the chloroprene rubber/carbon fiber/carbon black foam facilitates both wave absorption and temperature monitoring through its optimized conductive network.This synergistic mechanism results in an EMI shielding effectiveness(SE)of 60.06 d B with excellent temperature sensing performance(The temperature coefficient of resistance(TCR)is-2.642%/℃)in the 24–70℃ range.Notably,the material has a thermal conductivity of up to 0.159 W/(m·K),and the bio-inspired layered design enables information encryption,demonstrating the material's potential for secure communication applications.The foam also has tensile properties of up to 5.13 MPa and a tear strength of 33.02 N/mm.This biomimetic design overcomes the traditional limitations of flexible materials and provides a transformative solution for next-generation applications such as flexible electronics,aerospace systems and military equipment,which urgently need integrated electromagnetic protection,thermal management and information security.

文摘In a rapid cycling synchrotron(RCS),the magnetic field is synchronized with the beam energy,creating a highly dynamic magnetic environment.A ceramic chamber with a shielding layer(RF shield),composed of a series of copper strips connected to a capacitor at either end,is typically employed as a vacuum chamber to mitigate eddy current effects and beam coupling impedance.Consequently,the ceramic chamber exhibits a thin-walled multilayered complex structure.Previous theoretical studies have suggested that the impedance of such a structure has a negligible impact on the beam.However,recent impedance measurements of the ceramic chamber in the China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS)RCS revealed a resonance in the low-frequency range,which was confirmed by further theoretical analysis as a source of beam instability in the RCS.Currently,the magnitude of this impedance cannot be accurately assessed using theoretical calculations.In this study,we used the CST Microwave Studio to confirm the impedance of the ceramic chamber.Further simulations covering six different types of ceramic chambers were conducted to develop an impedance model in the RCS.Additionally,this study investigates the resonant characteristics of the ceramic chamber impedance,finding that the resonant frequency is closely related to the capacitance of the capacitors.This finding provides clear directions for further impedance optimization and is crucial for achieving a beam power of 500 kW for the CSNS Phase-Ⅱ project(CSNS-Ⅱ).However,careful attention must be paid to the voltage across the capacitors.

文摘Shield tunneling in saturated ground poses challenges due to the potential risk of ground collapse resulting from seepage force and inadequate support pressure.This study employed a laboratory model test and a theoretical validation to elucidate the mechanisms of face failure and subsequent ground collapse in saturated ground during slurry pressure-balanced shield(SPBS)tunneling operations.A slurry circulation system was developed to ensure steady shield tunneling and to replicate the phenomena of ground collapse.Investigations into shield tunneling parameters and ground responses,including soil pressure,pore water pressure,and surface subsidence,were conducted to understand the mechanisms of face failure and subsequent ground collapse.The theoretical solution for the critical collapse pressure of the tunnel face,based on the rotational failure mechanism,was validated through the comparison with the experimentally determined critical collapse pressure.The results indicate that:(1)appropriate adjustments of tunneling parameters are crucial for promoting filtercake formation,maintaining chamber pressure,and minimizing ground subsidence;(2)chamber pressure,soil pressure,pore water pressure,and ground subsidence are closely correlated with shield tunneling parameters and the formation of filter cake;(3)ground collapse follows a continuous failure mode due to the destruction of filtercake and the decrease in chamber pressure;(4)the soil pressure at the cutterhead is more sensitive to disturbances from shield tunneling than chamber pressure;and(5)experimentally determined critical collapse pressures is consistent with the theoretical solution of limit analysis.

文摘Estimating the properties of foam-conditioned clay soils is important for both conditioning and recycling goals in earth pressure balance(EPB)shield tunneling.In this study,the vacuum dewatering behaviors of foam-conditioned clay soils were investigated,with their potential use as an alternative means to assess foam optimization being examined.A series of laboratory and fieldtests was conducted,including vacuum dewatering tests that considered the effects of filtrationtime and pressure,vane shear tests,and improved cone pullout tests under different gravimetric water content(w)and foam injection ratio(FIR)conditions.It was found that the filtrate loss(FL),which characterizes dewaterability,was increased by extended vacuum filtrationtime and elevated pressure.While increases in w and FIR enhanced FL,reductions were observed in the undrained shear strength(cu),tangential adhesion stress(Fs),and normal adhesion stress(Fn).Furthermore,a linear decrease in FL with increasing mechanical indices(cu,Fs,and Fn)was demonstrated by both laboratory and fielddata fittingresults,regardless of w,FIR,and dewatering conditions.This study provides novel insights into the understanding of vacuum dewatering mechanisms in foam-conditioned clay soils,while a simple approach is proposed for evaluating foam conditioning effectiveness in EPB shield tunneling applications.

文摘Although machine learning models have achieved high enough accuracy in predicting shield position deviations,their“black box”nature makes the prediction mechanisms and decision-making processes opaque,leading to weaker explanations and practicability.This study introduces a novel explainable deep learning framework comprising the Informer model with enhanced attention mechanisms(EAMInfor)and deep learning important features(DeepLIFT),aimed at improving the prediction accuracy of shield position deviations and providing interpretability for predictive results.The EAMInfor model attempts to integrate channel attention,spatial attention,and simple attention modules to improve the Informer model's performance.The framework is tested with the four different geological conditions datasets generated from the Xiamen metro line 3,China.Results show that the EAMInfor model outperforms the traditional Informer and comparison models.The analysis with the DeepLIFT method indicates that the push thrust of push cylinder and the earth chamber pressure are the most significant features,while the stroke length of the push cylinder demonstrated lower importance.Furthermore,the variation trends in the significance of data points within input sequences exhibit substantial differences between single and composite strata.This framework not only improves predictive accuracy but also strengthens the credibility and reliability of the results.

文摘Bio-based 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid polyesters offer significant promise for reducing energy and environmental crises.However,their intrinsic flammability remains a critical limitation,and conventional flame-retardant strategies often compromise their mechanical properties,hindering their practical applications.Herein,a 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide(DOPO)-based comonomer(DDP)was used to synthesize flame-retardant poly(ethylene furandicarboxylate-co-phosphaphenanthrene)(PEFDn).The covalent integration of DDP confers intrinsic flame retardancy,avoiding the plasticization and migration issues associated with additive-type systems.Upon thermal decomposition,the DOPO-derived moieties release phosphoric acid and radical scavengers,promoting char formation and suppressing flame propagation.Furthermore,density functional theory(DFT)calculations combined with non-covalent interaction(NCI)analysis revealed that DOPO dimer molecules adopt a stable parallel-displaced π-π stacking configu ration,potentially facilitating microphase separation and enhancing the energy dissipation capability.PEFD_(10)achieves a UL-94 V-0 rating while simultaneously increasing impact toughness from 1.5 kJ/m^(2) to 14.7 kJ/m^(2).Im portantly,PEFDn maintained acceptable oxygen-barrier properties.PEFD10 also exhibited high transparency and UV-shielding performance.The combination of intrinsic flame safety,im pact-toughness resistance,UV shielding,and an oxygen barrier ensures reliable protection of electrical components and long-term operational stability.The integration of multiple critical properties within a single bio-based material represents a novel approach fo r enabling sustainable polymer solutions for high-pe rformance electrical applications.

文摘Cross-band camouflage technology is a critical necessity,enabling personnel and equipment to evade detection across evolving surveillance systems,thereby enhancing survivability and mission success.Herein,this work develops a layer-structured composite system based on carbon nanotube(CNT)film comprising ionic liquid(IL)interlayer for infrared(IR)modulation and surface-engineered Cu_(2)O nanoparticles for visible camouflage.The CNT/IL/CNT architecture enables reversible IR emissivity switching(Δε≈0.55)through electrically driven ion intercalation/deintercalation within 2 s,while spray-coated Cu_(2)O nanoparticles(100~400 nm diameter)on the top CNT film layer generate rich structure colors with 90%IR transmittance.This spectral-decoupling design overcomes the traditional trade-off between color visibility and IR transmittance observed in pigment-based systems.Remarkably,due to physical interface coupling,the Cu_(2)O-coated layer-structured system maintains exceptional electrical conductivity,enabling simultaneous electromagnetic interference shielding and electrothermal energy conversion.The integrated system demonstrates long-term operational stability.By unifying visible-IR camouflage,electromagnetic protection,and energy management in a lightweight platform,this work provides an important paradigm for cross-band camouflage technologies.

文摘Porous 2D materials with high conductivity and large surface area have been proposed for potential electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials in future mobility and wearable applications to prevent signal noise,transmission inaccuracy,system malfunction,and health hazards.Here,we report on the synthesis of lightweight and flexible flash-induced porous graphene(FPG)with excellent EMI shielding performance.The broad spectrum of pulsed flashlight induces photo-chemical and photo-thermal reactions in polyimide films,forming 5×10 cm^(2)-size porous graphene with a hollow pillar structure in a few milliseconds.The resulting material demonstrated low density(0.0354 g cm^(−3))and outstanding absolute EMI shielding effectiveness of 1.12×10^(5) dB cm^(2) g^(−1).The FPG was characterized via thorough material analyses,and its mechanical durability and flexibility were confirmed by a bending cycle test.Finally,the FPG was utilized in drone and wearable applications,showing effective EMI shielding performance for internal/external EMI in a drone radar system and reducing the specific absorption rate in the human body.

文摘Robust, ultra-flexible, and multifunctional MXene-basedelectromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding nanocomposite filmsexhibit enormous potential for applications in artificial intelligence,wireless telecommunication, and portable/wearable electronic equipment.In this work, a nacre-inspired multifunctional heterocyclic aramid(HA)/MXene@polypyrrole (PPy) (HMP) nanocomposite paper withlarge-scale, high strength, super toughness, and excellent tolerance tocomplex conditions is fabricated through the strategy of HA/MXenehydrogel template-assisted in-situ assembly of PPy. Benefiting from the"brick-and-mortar" layered structure and the strong hydrogen-bondinginteractions among MXene, HA, and PPy, the paper exhibits remarkable mechanical performances, including high tensile strength (309.7 MPa),outstanding toughness (57.6 MJ m−3), exceptional foldability, and structural stability against ultrasonication. By using the template effect ofHA/MXene to guide the assembly of conductive polymers, the synthesized paper obtains excellent electronic conductivity. More importantly,the highly continuous conductive path enables the nanocomposite paper to achieve a splendid EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of 54.1 dBat an ultra-thin thickness (25.4 μm) and a high specific EMI SE of 17,204.7 dB cm2g−1. In addition, the papers also have excellent applicationsin electromagnetic protection, electro-/photothermal de-icing, thermal therapy, and fire safety. These findings broaden the ideas for developinghigh-performance and multifunctional MXene-based films with enormous application potential in EMI shielding and thermal management.

文摘The spreading effect of atmospheric pressure microplasma jets(APμPJ)on the surface of materials will increase the etching area,and controlling the diameter of the jet can improve the precision of surface treatment.In this work,a two-dimensional axisymmetric simulation model is established to analyze the effect of nitrogen(N_(2))shielding gas on helium(He)from gas dynamics.In addition,by etching the polyethylene terephthalate fllm,the relationship between the etching effect and aerodynamic analysis is verifled.The simulation results are similar to the experimental results,indicating that N2 shielding gas has a focusing effect which is related to the N_(2)flow rate,distance difference between the inner and outer tubes,and outer tube nozzle diameter.It is hoped that the results of this work can provide a certain reference for the use of shielding gas to control the jet flow of APμPJ.

文摘Electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with superior shielding efficiency and low-reflection properties hold promising potential for utilization across electronic components,precision instruments,and fifth-generation communication equipment.In this study,multistage microcellular waterborne polyurethane(WPU)composites were constructed via gradient induction,layer-by-layer casting,and supercritical carbon dioxide foaming.The gradient-structured WPU/ironcobalt loaded reduced graphene oxide(FeCo@rGO)foam serves as an impedance-matched absorption layer,while the highly conductive WPU/silver loaded glass microspheres(Ag@GM)layer is employed as a reflection layer.Thanks to the incorporation of an asymmetric structure,as well as the introduction of gradient and porous configurations,the composite foam demonstrates excellent conductivity,outstanding EMI SE(74.9 dB),and minimal reflection characteristics(35.28%)in 8.2-12.4 GHz,implying that more than 99.99999%of electromagnetic(EM)waves were blocked and only 35.28%were reflected to the external environment.Interestingly,the reflectivity of the composite foam is reduced to 0.41%at 10.88 GHz due to the resonance for incident and reflected EM waves.Beyond that,the composite foam is characterized by low density(0.47 g/cm^(3))and great stability of EMI shielding properties.This work offers a viable approach for craft-ing lightweight,highly shielding,and minimally reflective EMI shielding composites.
文摘High-performance MXene-based polymer nanocomposites are well-suited for various industrial applications owing to their excellent mechanical,thermal,and other properties.However,the fabrication of flame-retardant polymer/MXene nanocom-posites remains challenging owing to the limited flame-retardant properties of MXene itself.This study prepared a novel MXene@Ag@PA hybrid material via radiation modification and complexation reaction.This material was used to further enhance the key properties of ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA),such as its mechanical properties,thermal conductivity,flame retardancy,and electromagnetic shielding.The addition of two parts of this hybrid material increased the thermal conduc-tivity of EVA by 44.2%and reduced its peak exothermic rate during combustion by 30.1%compared with pure EVA.The material also significantly reduced smoke production and increased the residue content.In the X-band,the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the EVA composites reached 20 dB.Moreover,the MXene@Ag@PA hybrid material could be used to further enhance the mechanical properties of EVA composites under electron-beam irradiation.Thus,this study contributes to the development of MXene-based EVA advanced materials that are fire-safe,have high strength,and exhibit good electromagnetic shielding performance for various applications.

文摘The performances of magnesium alloys remain insufficient to further enhance the application potential of ultralight magnesium alloys.In this work,a Mg-8Li-3Y-2Zn alloy was prepared through vacuum melting and subsequent heat treatment at 300,450,and 500°C.The material properties of the resulting samples were assessed through microstructural observation,tensile testing,electrical conductivity measurements,and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness(EMI-SE)testing.The influence of the Mg-8Li-3Y-2Zn alloy microstructure on its mechanical and electromagnetic shielding properties in different states was investigated.It was found that the as-cast alloy containsα-Mg,β-Li,Mg_(3)Zn_(3)Y_(2),and Mg_(12)ZnY phases.Following heat treatment at 500℃(HT500),the blockα-Mg phase transformedfine needle-shapes,its tensile strength increased to 263.7 MPa,and its elongation reached 45.3%.The mechanical properties of the alloy were significantly improved by the synergistic effects imparted by the needle-shapedα-Mg phase,solid solution strengthening,and precipitation strengthening.The addition of Y and Zn improved the EMI-SE of Mg-8Li-1Zn alloy,wherein the HT500 sample exhibits the highest SE,maintaining a value of 106.7–76.9 dB in the frequency range of 30–4500 MHz;this performance has rarely been reported for electromagnetically shielded alloys.This effect was mainly attributed to the multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves caused by the severe impedance mismatch of the abundant phase boundaries,which were in turn provided by the dual-phase(α/β)and secondary phases.Furthermore,the presence of nano-precipitation was also believed to enhance the absorption of electromagnetic waves.

文摘In the present work,by virtue of the synergistic and independent effects of Janus structure,an asymmetric nickel-chain/multiwall carbon nanotube/polyimide(Ni/MWCNTs/PI)composite foam with absorption-dominated electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and thermal insulation performances was successfully fabricated through an ordered casting and directional freeze-drying strategy.Water-soluble polyamic acid(PAA)was chosen to match the oriented freeze-drying method to acquire oriented pores,and the thermal imidization process from PAA to PI exactly eliminated the interface of the multilayered structure.By controlling the electro-magnetic gradient and propagation path of the incident microwaves in the MWCNT/PI and Ni/PI layers,the PI composite foam exhibited an efficient EMI SE of 55.8 dB in the X-band with extremely low reflection characteristics(R=0.22).The asymmetric conductive net-work also greatly preserved the thermal insulation properties of PI.The thermal conductivity(TC)of the Ni/MWCNT/PI composite foam was as low as 0.032 W/(m K).In addition,owing to the elimination of MWCNT/PI and Ni/PI interfaces during the thermal imidization process,the composite foam showed satisfactory compressive strength.The fabricated PI composite foam could provide reliable electromagnetic protection in complex applications and withstand high temperatures,which has great potential in cuttingedge applications such as advanced aircraft.

文摘Designing and fabricating a compatible low-reflectivity electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding/high-temperature resistant infrared stealth material possesses a critical significance in the field of military.Hence,a hierarchical polyimide(PI)nonwoven fabric is fabricated by alkali treatment,in-situ growth of magnetic particles and"self-activated"electroless Ag plating process.Especially,the hierarchical impedance matching can be constructed by systematically assembling Fe_(3)O_(4)/Ag-loaded PI nonwoven fabric(PFA)and pure Ag-coated PI nonwoven fabric(PA),endowing it with an ultralowreflectivity EMI shielding performance.In addition,thermal insulation of fluffy three-dimensional(3D)space structure in PFA and low infrared emissivity of PA originated from Ag plating bring an excellent infrared stealth performance.More importantly,the strong bonding interaction between Fe_(3)O_(4),Ag,and PI fiber improves thermal stability in EMI shielding and high-temperature resistant infrared stealth performance.Such excellent comprehensive performance makes it promising for military tents to protect internal equipment from electromagnetic interference stemmed from adjacent equipment and/or enemy,and inhibit external infrared detection.

文摘With the wide application of electromagnetic wave,a high performance electromagnetic shielding material is urgently needed to solve the harm caused by electromagnetic wave.Complete cross-linking strategy is adopted in this paper.Polyacrylamide(PAM)was synthesized by in-situ polymerization of acrylamide(AM)monomer.The obtained PAM was blended with polyethylene glycol(PEG)to prepare PAM/PEG hydrogels and form rigid support structures.Subsequently,the modified carbon nanotubes(S-CNTs)were incorpor-ated into sodium alginate(SA)and PAM/PEG.Finally,Na+was used to trigger SA self-assembly,which significantly improved the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of the hydrogels,and prepared PAM/PEG/SA/S-CNTs-Na hydrogels with high tough-ness and strong electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding efficiency(SE).The results showed that the compressive strength of PAM/PEG/SA/S-CNTs-Na hydrogel was 19.05 MPa,which was 7.69%higher than that of PAM/PEG hydrogel(17.69 MPa).More en-couraging,the average EMI SE of PAM/PEG/SA/S-CNTs-Na hydrogels at a thickness of only 3 mm and a CNTs content of 16.53wt%was 32.92 dB,which is 113.21%higher than that of PAM/PEG hydrogels(15.44 dB).
