Multiple braking mechanisms have been introduced for use in vehicles. This study explores the potential of using magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) brakes in automotive applications. MRF brakes offer controllable braking force due to a magnetic field, but their use is limited by simulation challenges. In this study, a 7-tooth MRF brake model is proposed. The brake model is simulated in Altair Flux software to analyze magnetic field distribution, braking torque, and its variation under different currents and disc speeds. The simulation conditions also consider both viscous and electromagnetic torque components. Then, the results are analyzed across different brake regions, including rotor, stator, and fluid gap. These results provide valuable insights for designing, manufacturing, installing, and testing MRF brakes for automotive use.展开更多

文摘Vitrimers belong to a class of polymeric materials capable of bond exchange reactions,showing great promise for environmental protection and sustainable development.However,studies on the coupling mechanism between the bond exchange kinetics and segmental dynamics near the glass transition temperature(T_(g))remain scarce.Herein,we employed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the dynamic heterogeneity of the segment motion and bond exchange in vitrimers.The simulation results revealed that the bond exchange energy barrier exerts a much stronger influence on the bond exchange kinetics than on the segmental dynamics.At lower temperatures,slower segmental relaxation further constraind the bond exchange rate.Additionally,increasing the bond exchange energy barrier markedly enhanced the dynamic heterogeneity of segment motion.A close correlation was observed between heterogeneity and bond exchange.This study elucidated the coupling mechanism between bond exchange and segmental dynamics at the molecular scale,thereby providing a theoretical basis for designing vitrimer materials with tunable dynamic properties.
文摘In federated learning,backdoor attacks have become an important research topic with their wide application in processing sensitive datasets.Since federated learning detects or modifies local models through defense mechanisms during aggregation,it is difficult to conduct effective backdoor attacks.In addition,existing backdoor attack methods are faced with challenges,such as low backdoor accuracy,poor ability to evade anomaly detection,and unstable model training.To address these challenges,a method called adaptive simulation backdoor attack(ASBA)is proposed.Specifically,ASBA improves the stability of model training by manipulating the local training process and using an adaptive mechanism,the ability of the malicious model to evade anomaly detection by combing large simulation training and clipping,and the backdoor accuracy by introducing a stimulus model to amplify the impact of the backdoor in the global model.Extensive comparative experiments under five advanced defense scenarios show that ASBA can effectively evade anomaly detection and achieve high backdoor accuracy in the global model.Furthermore,it exhibits excellent stability and effectiveness after multiple rounds of attacks,outperforming state-of-the-art backdoor attack methods.

文摘UHMWPE fibers exhibit impressive modulus and strength,but they have not reached their theoretical limits.Researchers focus on molecular weight,orientation,and crystallinity of UHMWPE,yet their contributions to mechanical properties are unclear.Molecular dynamics simulations are valuable but often limited by computational constraints.Our aim is to simulate higher molecular weights to better represent real UHMWPE fibers.We used Packmol and Polyply methodologies to construct PE systems,with Polyply reproducing more reasonable properties of UHMWPE fibers.Additionally,tensile simulations showed that orientation and crystallinity greatly impact Young's modulus more than molecular weight.Energy decomposition indicated that higher molecular weights lead to covalent bonds that can withstand more energy during stretching,thus increasing breaking strength.Combining simulations with machine learning,we found that orientation has the most significant impact on Young's modulus,contributing 60%,and molecular weight plays the most crucial role in determining the breaking strength,accounting for 65%.This study provides a theoretical basis and guidelines for enhancing UHMWPE's modulus and strength.

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.
