Acupuncture at distal single point, such as Fēngchí （风池 GB 20）, Xiàguān （下关 ST 7）, Jiānqí （肩奇）, Hòuxī （后溪 SI 3）, Zúgēn （足跟）, etc., in combination with movement of heels can rapidly and effectively alleviate pain and restore the function. Results indicated that single needling a distal point is beneficial to the freely flow of qi and blood in meridians and the manipulation promotes conduction of the needling sensation, and local movement was combined, bringing the point into the best function. This method is not only convenient, easy to manipulate, but also safe and practical, and has obvious effects, so it is worthy to be popularized.展开更多

Due to the complicatedness of the sea state and the huge size of the vessel,physical experimental study is both time consuming and uneconomical,whereas the numerical study is cost-effective and DNV software provides powerful SESAM software in solving the issues. This paper focuses on the modeling process of the SPM system,catenary equilibrium calculation,static analysis of the vessel in three different scenarios,and dynamic response simulation of the SPM system under environmental excitations. The three scenarios in study are as follows:the SPM is under the combined function of(a) wind,waves and current,(b) wind and waves,(c) current and waves. They are so set that one can compare the contributions of different types of loads in both static and dynamic studies. Numerical study shows that wind and current are the two major factors contributing to the mooring line tension,and surge and sway are the two dominant motions of the moored vessel subjected to environmental excitations.展开更多

However,some micro waviness( amplitude about 30 nm,wavelength about 15 mm) along the cutting direction which will decrease the quality of the optical elements can always be found in the processed surface,and the axial vibration of the spindle caused by the cut-in process is speculated as the immediate cause of this waviness. In this paper,the analytical method of dynamic mesh is applied for simulating the dynamic behavior of the vertical spindle. The consequence is then exerted to the fly cutter and the processed surface profile is simulated. The wavelength of the simulation result coincides well with the experimental result which proves the importance of the cut-in process during the single point diamond fly cutting.展开更多

AISI 316L stainless steel sheets were used to develop double wall angle pyramid with aid of tungsten carbide tool. GRA coupled with PCA was used to plan the experiment conditions. Control factors such as Tool Diameter(TD), Step Depth(SD), Bottom Wall Angle(BWA), Feed Rate(FR) and Spindle Speed(SS) on Top Wall Angle(TWA) and Top Wall Angle Surface Roughness(TWASR) have been studied. Wall angle increases with increasing tool diameter due to large contact area between tool and workpiece. As the step depth, feed rate and spindle speed increase,TWASR decreases with increasing tool diameter. As the step depth increasing, the hydrostatic stress is raised causing severe cracks in the deformed surface. Hence it was concluded that the proposed hybrid method was suitable for optimizing the factors and response.展开更多

The results show that grain in side wall of the formed parts becomes refined significantly. Furthermore,with the increase of draw angle,grain size increases,but strength,hardness and plasticity decrease. In addition, surface roughness tests were performed on the formed surface to determine the influence of speed of forming tool. The results show that surface roughness has a little increase with the increase of tool rotational speed.展开更多

Three cases for stabilities of a He atom at the surface are found： some of He atoms at surface atomic layers （SAL） relax into vacuum gap; some of surface He atoms at octahedral interstitial site relax into more stable tetrahedral interstitial site; some of surface He atoms still stay at tetrahedral interstitial site. The un-stability of the He atom at the surface system can be explained by deformation mechanism of charge densities and electronic densities of states. It is found that formation energy of the point defects from the topmost SAL to bulk-like atomic layer increase gradually, for example, the formation energies of a monovacancy at the first five topmost SALs are equal to 0.33, 1.56, 2.04, 2.02 and 2.11 eV, respectively. The magnetic moments of Fe atoms in the surface atomic layers are also calculated.展开更多

The flange is produced in four stages starting from 45° to 90° and employing aluminum as the test material. It is shown that the hole size has significant effects on the stress/strain distribution on the cylindrical flange. The magnitude of hoop strains increases and the flange thickness increases as the hole size increases. Likewise, the von Mises stress reduces with the increasing of hole size. Further, there is a threshold value of hole size（i.e., 80 mm） below which severe stresses occur, which lead to sheet fracturing thus failing the successful forming of cylindrical flange. Moreover, the formability reduces as the hole size is increased above the threshold size. Finally, it is concluded that 80 mm is the threshold size of hole for maximizing the formability of aluminum sheet in incremental hole flanging.展开更多

AISI 316L stainless steel sheets were used to develop double wall angle pyramid with aid of tungsten carbide tool. GRA coupled with PCA was used to plan the experiment conditions. Control factors such as Tool Diameter(TD), Step Depth(SD), Bottom Wall Angle(BWA), Feed Rate(FR) and Spindle Speed(SS) on Top Wall Angle(TWA) and Top Wall Angle Surface Roughness(TWASR) have been studied. Wall angle increases with increasing tool diameter due to large contact area between tool and workpiece. As the step depth, feed rate and spindle speed increase,TWASR decreases with increasing tool diameter. As the step depth increasing, the hydrostatic stress is raised causing severe cracks in the deformed surface. Hence it was concluded that the proposed hybrid method was suitable for optimizing the factors and response.

文摘The structure and energy of He impurities and vacancy on （001） surface of bcc iron are investigated by an ab initio method. Three cases for stabilities of a He atom at the surface are found： some of He atoms at surface atomic layers （SAL） relax into vacuum gap; some of surface He atoms at octahedral interstitial site relax into more stable tetrahedral interstitial site; some of surface He atoms still stay at tetrahedral interstitial site. The un-stability of the He atom at the surface system can be explained by deformation mechanism of charge densities and electronic densities of states. It is found that formation energy of the point defects from the topmost SAL to bulk-like atomic layer increase gradually, for example, the formation energies of a monovacancy at the first five topmost SALs are equal to 0.33, 1.56, 2.04, 2.02 and 2.11 eV, respectively. The magnetic moments of Fe atoms in the surface atomic layers are also calculated.

文摘Y-junction photonic power splitters are essential in photonic integrated circuits.In this paper,a tunable Y-junction splitter is introduced using a standard silicon-on-insulator platform.It features a single-point control mechanism of both the turnability of power splitting ratios and the non-volatility with optical phase change materials(O-PCMs).This nonvolatile Yjunction splitter has a broadband of 350 nm(from 1300 to 1650 nm)with an about 0.7 dB low insertion loss.Using the direct binary search(DBS)inverse design algorithm,a circular point was identified to fill the phase change material Sb_(2)S_(3)within the coupling area of the Y-junction photonic power splitter.Six example power splitting ratios of 1.86,1.70,1.50,1.34,1.21,and 1.14 were realized under single-point control using phase changes at 1550 nm with a 0.35 dB low insertion loss.Furthermore,we also implemented a five-stage cascaded array,with the final stage consisting of 16 Y-junction splitters.These results are useful for significantly simplifying the control of photonic circuits.
文摘This study performs single point incremental forming(SPIF)on two aluminum alloys(i.e.AA5754 and AA6061),and analyzes their post forming mechanical properties and microstructure evolution.The forming parameters namely wall angle(35°-55°),feed rate(1-4 m/min),spindle rotational speed(50-1000 r/min),and lubricant(grease and hydraulic oil)are varied to probe detailed processing effects.The pre-and post-SPIF mechanical properties and microstructures are characterized by conducting tensile tests and optical microscopy,respectively.It is shown that an increase in the wall angle,feed rate and rotational speed causes microscopic variations in the alloys such that the grains of AA5754 and the second phase particles of AA6061 elongate.As a result,the ultimate tensile strength of the formed parts is increased by 10%for AA5754 and by 8%for AA6061.And,the ductility of AA5754 is decreased from 22.9%to 12%and that of AA6061 is decreased from 16%to 10.7%.Regarding the lubricant effect,it is shown that the mechanical properties remain insensitive to the type of lubricant employed.These results indicate that SPIF processing modifies the microstructure of Al alloys in a way to enhance the strength at the cost of ductility.
文摘The influence of the size of pre-cut hole of blank on the formability of cylindrical hole flanging in single point incremental forming（SPIF） was studied. The flange is produced in four stages starting from 45° to 90° and employing aluminum as the test material. It is shown that the hole size has significant effects on the stress/strain distribution on the cylindrical flange. The magnitude of hoop strains increases and the flange thickness increases as the hole size increases. Likewise, the von Mises stress reduces with the increasing of hole size. Further, there is a threshold value of hole size（i.e., 80 mm） below which severe stresses occur, which lead to sheet fracturing thus failing the successful forming of cylindrical flange. Moreover, the formability reduces as the hole size is increased above the threshold size. Finally, it is concluded that 80 mm is the threshold size of hole for maximizing the formability of aluminum sheet in incremental hole flanging.

文摘Omnidirectional imaging sensors have been used in more and more applications when a very large field of view is required.In this paper,we investigate the unwrapping,epipolar geometry and stereo rectification issues for omnidirectional vision when the particular mirror model and the camera parameters are unknown in priori.First,the omnidirectional camera is calibrated under the Taylor model,and the parameters related to this model are obtained.In order to make the classical computer vision algorithms of conventional perspective cameras applicable,the ring omnidirectional image is unwrapped into two kinds of panoramas:cylinder and cuboid.Then the epipolar geometry of arbitrary camera configuration is analyzed and the essential matrix is deduced with its properties being indicated for ring images.After that,a simple stereo rectification method based on the essential matrix and the conformal mapping is proposed.Simulations and real data experimental results illustrate that our methods are effective for the omnidirectional camera under the constraint of a single view point.

文摘For the last two decades,low-cost Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)receivers have been used in various applications.These receivers are mini-size,less expensive than geodetic-grade receivers,and in high demand.Irrespective of these outstanding features,low-cost GNSS receivers are potentially poorer hardwares with internal signal processing,resulting in lower quality.They typically come with low-cost GNSS antenna that has lower performance than their counterparts,particularly for multipath mitigation.Therefore,this research evaluated the low-cost GNSS device performance using a high-rate kinematic survey.For this purpose,these receivers were assembled with an Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU)sensor,which actively transmited data on acceleration and orientation rate during the observation.The position and navigation parameter data were obtained from the IMU readings,even without GNSS signals via the U-blox F9R GNSS/IMU device mounted on a vehicle.This research was conducted in an area with demanding conditions,such as an open sky area,an urban environment,and a shopping mall basement,to examine the device’s performance.The data were processed by two approaches:the Single Point Positioning-IMU(SPP/IMU)and the Differential GNSS-IMU(DGNSS/IMU).The Unscented Kalman Filter(UKF)was selected as a filtering algorithm due to its excellent performance in handling nonlinear system models.The result showed that integrating GNSS/IMU in SPP processing mode could increase the accuracy in eastward and northward components up to 68.28%and 66.64%.Integration of DGNSS/IMU increased the accuracy in eastward and northward components to 93.02%and 93.03%compared to the positioning of standalone GNSS.In addition,the positioning accuracy can be improved by reducing the IMU noise using low-pass and high-pass filters.This application could still not gain the expected position accuracy under signal outage conditions.
