To address unknown wheel longitudinal slipping problem for mobile robot, a RBF neural network approach based on whole model approximation is presented. The real-time data acquisition of inertial measure unit(IMU), encoders and other sensors is employed to get the mobile robot’s position and orientation in the movement, which is applied to compensate the unknown bounds of the longitudinal slipping using the adaptive technique. Both the simulation and experimental results prove that the control scheme possesses good practical performance and realize the motion control with unknown longitudinal slipping.展开更多

To overcome this drawback, a new method called no phase slipping adaptive bandwidth（NPS-AB） is proposed, which can adjust the loop bandwidth adaptively for different working conditions. As a result, both the tracking precision and the dynamic performance can be achieved concurrently. NPS-AB has two features to keep the loop stable： one is the capability of quick response to dynamics; the other is a series of additional constraints when the bandwidth is switched. Compared with other methods, there is no phase slipping during the adjustment process for NPS-AB. The phase integer ambiguity can be avoided and the phase value is kept valid. It is meaningful for carrier ranging systems. Simulation results show that NPS-AB can deal with sudden dynamics and keep the pseudo-range value stable in the entire dynamic process.展开更多

This is one of the important reasons for overturn of ro-ro ships. The multibody system with a floating base is composed of ro-ro ship and slipping vehicles. Takes the rolling angle of the ship and the transverse displacements of the slipping vehicles on desk as freedoms. Making use of the analysis of apparent gravitation and apparent buoyancy, the wave rolling moment is derived. By means of dynamic method of multibody system, dynamic equations of the system are established. Taking a certain channel ferry as an example, a set of numerical calculation have been carried out for rolling response of the multibody system with a floating base of a ro-ro ship and displacements response of the slipping vehicles under common effect of free slipping vehicles and wave, and a conclusion has been drawn that the motion of the numerous free slipping heavy loads will trend to be synchronous under restraining of the side-wall bulkhead with time because of repeated collision.展开更多

Dilata...When a block of dense sandy soil moves downhill, the shear-induced soil dilatancy along the basal shear boundary produces a negative value of excess pore pressure that increases the basal frictional resistance. Dilatancy angle,Ψ, the degree to which the basal soil dilates due to the shear, normally evolves during slope failure. A study by other researchers shows that if Ψ is constant, the block of dense soil will remain stable(or unstable) sliding when the velocity-weakening rate of the basal friction coefficient of the block is small(or large) enough. Moreover, during unstable sliding processes, the block of dense soil exhibits "periodic" patterns of intermittent slipping. Here, we used a more efficient and accurate numerical scheme to revisit that study. We expanded their model by assuming Ψ evolves during slope failure. Consequently, we acquired completely different results. For instance, even though the velocity-weakening rate of the friction coefficient is fixed at the same smaller(or larger) value that those researchers use, the stable(or unstable) steady states of landslide they predict will inversely change to unstable(or stable) when Ψ decreases(or increases) with the increase of slide displacement to a value small(or large) enough. Particularly, in unstable processes, the soil block exhibits "aperiodic" styles of intermittent slipping, instead of "periodic". We found out that the stick states appearing later last longer(or shorter) in the case of decreasing(or increasing) Ψ. Moreover, because the basic states of landslides with impacts of dilatancy evolution are not steady nor periodic, traditional stability-analysis methods cannot be "directly" used to analyze the stability of such landslides. Here, we broke through this technical problem to a degree. We showed that combining a concept called "quasi-steady-state approximation" with a traditional stability-analysis technique can qualitatively predict the instability onset of the landslides. Through this study, we demonstrated that the combination of Chebyshev collocation(CC) and 4^(th)-order Runge-Kutta methods is more accurate and efficient than the numerical scheme those researchers use.展开更多

In this letter, circularly slipping window is introduced to resist the noise. It can be proved by simulation that with the same channel model, optimal slipping window length is the same with different vehicle speed. MSE (Minimum Square Error) of channel is greatly reduced with circularly slipping window, and performance of the system is closed to that with correct channel estimation.展开更多

And the same phenomenon was found again later in the bore cores from the petroleum basin in the Northern Shaanxi Province. It may be the product of the dynamic processes involv-ing tumbling, grinding and compresso-shearing functions, so the spherical particulates with ul-tra-size of nm and mm are called grinding grain. The formation of the grinding grains is related with the ductile-brittle deformation, the lateral pressure of the slipping, and the very low grade of dynamic metamorphism of the rocks. Based on the systematic analysis, it is indicated that some elements like Nb and Ta are enriched in the grinding grains in the granitic rocks because of the chemical differentiation, and that the slipping lamellae bearing grinding grains in mudstone with smear efficiency prove a perfect seal for oil and gas reservoirs. Meanwhile, the paper provides bases for the studies on the fast stick-slip movement and shear paradigm.展开更多

At constant bias current, the simulation shows significant enhancement in optical bandwidth due to moving the quantum well in the direction of collector-base junction. No remarkable resonance peak, limiting factor in laser diodes, is observed during this modification in transistor laser structure. The method can be utilized for transistor laser structure design.展开更多

Results show that the repulsive force has a stabilizing effect on the development of perturbations, and can suppress the rupture process induced by the van der Waals attractive force. Although slippage will enhance the growth of disturbances, it does not have influence on the linear cutoff wave number and the final shape of the film thickness as time approaches to infinity.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Slipping rib syndrome(SRS)is caused by abnormal subluxation of floating ribs,resulting in chronic pain and possible tissue damage.Its prevalence is often overlooked,as it shares symptoms with other musculoskeletal conditions,and is more common in young females and athletes.Symptoms include pain along the lower rib margin,aggravated by trunk movements,deep breathing and coughing.Treatment usually starts conservatively with physiotherapy and analgesics.In severe cases,extrapleural rib resection may be required.CASE SUMMARY In April 2023,a 24-year-old woman presented with persistent right hemithorax pain in the eleventh rib for one year.Instrumental examinations,including ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging,were negative for abdominal and osteochondral abnormalities.The pain intensity,rated 8/10 on the numeric rating scale(NRS),remained unresponsive to pain therapy.After a careful literature review and discussion with the patient,we opted for a minimally invasive surgical approach.Under general anesthesia,a mini-thoracotomy was performed along the anterior course of the eleventh rib.After exposure,abnormal rib mobility was detected,which led to resection of the medial margin and anchoring to the overlying rib with nonabsorbable sutures.Histological examination revealed no abnormalities.The patient was discharged on the first postoperative day.Pain decreased significantly,reaching 1/10 on the NRS at one month.At 3 months,the patient had mild fluctuating pain(2/10)requiring occasional analgesics but did not interfere with daily activities.CONCLUSION Minimally invasive rib-preserving surgery effectively reduces pain and hospitalization time,offering a valid alternative to conventional rib resection for refractory SRS.

文摘The minimum gripping force applied is expected to prevent objects from mechanical damage when an agricultural robot is applied to handle and manipulate fruits and vegetables.In this research,a sensitive slipping sensor was developed with a piezo resistor to control the griping force of the agricultural robot.Firstly,an output of the slipping sensor was analyzed in a frequency domain by using a short time Fourier transform.Then rules for discriminating slipping signal from the output of a slipping sensor were proposed based on detail coefficients of discrete wavelet transform.Finally,a controller based on adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy inference system was developed to adjust the grasping force of the agricultural robot in real time.The detail coefficients and the normal gripping force were applied as input of the controller,and Fuzzy rules were simplified through subtractive clustering.With a two-finger end-effector of the agricultural robot,the experimental results showed that the slipping signal could be effectively extracted regardless of change in the normal gripping force,and the gripping force had been controlled successfully when grasping tomatoes and apples.This method was a promising way to optimize the gripping force of the agricultural robot grasping the fruits and vegetables.
文摘An optical bandwidth analysis of a quantum-well （16 nm） transistor laser with 150-μm cavity length using a charge control model is reported in order to modify the quantum-well location through the base region. At constant bias current, the simulation shows significant enhancement in optical bandwidth due to moving the quantum well in the direction of collector-base junction. No remarkable resonance peak, limiting factor in laser diodes, is observed during this modification in transistor laser structure. The method can be utilized for transistor laser structure design.

文摘The effects of the Born repulsive force on the stability and dynamics of ultra-thin slipping films under the influences of intermolecular forces are investigated with bifurcation theory and numerical simulation. Results show that the repulsive force has a stabilizing effect on the development of perturbations, and can suppress the rupture process induced by the van der Waals attractive force. Although slippage will enhance the growth of disturbances, it does not have influence on the linear cutoff wave number and the final shape of the film thickness as time approaches to infinity.

文摘Previous works were mainly concentrated on long-term average runoff alterations,and extreme temperatures and watershed conditions are little analyzed.In this study,we collected gauged river flow and meteorological data time series from 1916 to 2015 and 1941 to 2015 across the contiguous United States(CONUS)for 188 catchments to investigate the temporal trends and spatial features of runoff changes at multi-time scales.We also analyzed the relationships between runoff changes and climatic factors.Median descriptive statistics and Budyko coupled climate elasticity methods were used to calculate runoff elasticity in each time scale.The original Mann-Kendall trend test was used to test their trend significance in four time-scale(11,20,40,and 60 a),respectively.The results show that the trend of runoff changes is more significant in high time scales;total changes are heterogeneous over CONUS.After the 1970s,increases of up to 27%decade-1 were mainly concentrated in the mid-northern regions.Maximum temperature and catchment characteristics are vital factors for runoff alteration;runoff changes are independent of rainfall,and wet regions tend to have lower changes.These findings could help develop better regional water resource planning and management.

文摘Rock fractures or faults could be reactivated by the thermal stress generated during the decay process of the high-level radioactive waste in deep geological repositories(DGRs).Understanding thermoshearing behavior and its influencing factors are important for the long-term performance assessment of DGRs.We designed multistage mechanical(M)shear tests and thermomechanical(TM)shear tests on three 100 mm-cubic granite specimens,each containing a single inclined sawcut fracture with distinct microroughness of 8-15μm.M test results have shown that the static friction coefficient of the granite fracture decreases in proportion to the increase in the logarithm of the loading rate within the range of 1-15 kPa/s.For the given heating and boundary conditions,thermal loading rate,i.e.,thermal stress increment with heating time,is measured to be around 1 kPa/s in the fractured granite.Thermoshearing can be well predicted by the linear Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope deduced from M shear tests employing a loading rate that is comparable with the thermal loading rate.The granite fractures exhibited two distinct slip patterns during the mechanical shearing,i.e.,stick-slip observed in the smooth fracture and stable sliding in the relatively rough surface.In contrast,the mechanical loading rate(1-15 kPa/s)investigated in this study appears to not influence the slip pattern.Unlike those in M shear tests,thermoshearing in both smooth and relatively rough fractures show stable sliding with a very slow peak velocity of around 0.002μm/s.

文摘The trade-offbetween strength and ductility remains a persistent obstacle in the development of advanced structural materials.In the present study,a novel dual-heterogeneous structure with a bimodal grain distribution in both ferrite and austenite phases was fabricated via cold rolling and partial recrystallization annealing on solution-treated 2205 duplex stainless steel(DSS).The processed steel exhibited superior mechanical properties,with the yield strength increasing from 586 MPa to 903 MPa,and the ultimate tensile strength from 796 MPa to 1082 MPa,while maintaining a high total elongation of 35.3%.Based on in-situ electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)and scanning electron microscope(SEM)analyses,the microstructural deformation behavior and strengthening mechanisms of the dual-heterostructured 2205 DSS were elucidated.The outstanding combination of strength and ductility was ascribed to the synergistic effects of grain refinement,dislocation strengthening,and hetero-deformation induced(HDI)strengthening.Moreover,the high ductility in DSS was attributed to the coactivation of cross-slip systems in ferrite{110}and{112}along with the single-slip systems in austenite{111}.These findings provide a new strategy for the design and development of high-strength and ultra-high-strength DSSs.

文摘A complex geological environment with faults can be encountered in the process of coal mining.Fault activation can cause instantaneous structure slipping,releasing a significant amount of elastic strain energy during underground coal mining.This would trigger strong rockburst disasters.To understand the occurrence of fault-slip induced rockbursts,we developed a physical model test system for fault-slip induced rockbursts in coal mine drifts.The boundary energy storage(BES)loading apparatus and bottom rapid retraction(BRR)apparatus are designed to realize energy compensation and continuous boundary stress transfer of the surrounding rocks for instantaneous fault slip,as well as to provide space for the potential fault slip.Taking the typical fault-slip induced rockburst in the Xinjulong Coal Mine,China,as the background,we conducted a model test using the test system.The deformation and stress in the rock surrounding the drift and the support unit force during fault slip are analyzed.The deformation and failure characteristics and dynamic responses of drifts under fault-slip induced rockbursts are obtained.The test results illustrate the rationality and effectiveness of the test system.Finally,corresponding recommendations and prospects are proposed based on our findings.
