One type is the sensitivities of solar-radiation-pressure force with respect to position of the center of mass, and the other type is the sensitivities of solar-radiation-pressure force with respect to attitude. The two types of sensitivities represent how the solar-radiation- pressure force changes with the position of mass center and the attitude. Sailcrafts with larger sensitivities undergo larger error of the solar-radiation-pressure force, leading to larger orbit error, as demonstrated by simulation. Then as a case study, detailed formulas are derived to calculate the sensi- tivities for sailcrafts with four triangular sails. According to these formulas, in order to reduce both types of sensitivities, the angle between opposed sails should not be too large, and the center of mass should be as close to the axis of symmetry of the four sails as possible and as far away from the center of pressure of the sailcraft as possible.展开更多

When the tension is different with the compression modulus, EI is the function of internal force and is not constant any more that is different from classic mechanics. In the other words, it is a nonlinear problem to calculate the internal force. The expression for neutral axis of the statically indeterminate structure was derived in the paper. The iterative program for nonlinear internal force was compiled. One case study was presented to illustrate the difference between the results using the different modulus theory and the single modulus theory as in classical mechanics. Finally, some reasonable suggestions were made for the different modulus structures.展开更多

The working body of the genie is the working chamber, the saw cylinder and the rib grate. The main wear is on the saw cylinder shaft and saw teeth. The wear of these parts leads to additional material costs, as well as to a decrease in the quality of the fiber. The wear of the shaft is affected by the number of saws and the mass of raw cotton in the working chamber of the gin. To prevent wear of the saw cylinder, the article determines the optimal static load on the shaft by calculating saw gins consisting of 90, 100, 110, 120, 130 saws. An analysis of tables shows that maximum value to bending shows 120 and 130 saws cylinder, because shaft bending angles along the length appear. This leads to a 2% - 3% reduction in the distance between the saws, serves for the premature wear of the saw, the exit of short fibers.展开更多

Through non dimensionalization of independent and dependent variables, the system passes into that of partial differential equations. Although the statically determinate system of partial differential equations is non linear, yet the two dimensional one falls apart into three separate groups which can be solved easily one after another.展开更多

The method makes possible to do the simple andapproximate calculations of the complex trusses in two stages, in each of which is calculated a statically determinate truss being anappropriate counterpart of the basic form of the statically indeterminate truss structure. Systems of the statically determinate trussesconsidered in the both stages are defined by cancelation of members, number of which is equal to the statically indeterminacy of thebasic truss. In the paper are presented outcomes obtained in the two-stage method applied for two different shapes of trusses and carriedout for various ways of removing of appropriate members from the basic trusses. The results are compared with outcomes gained due toapplication of suitable computer software for computation of the same types of trusses and for the same structural conditions.展开更多

One is under the conditions that the con-fining pressure is fixed and the axial pressure is changeable. The other is under the conditions that the confining pressure becomes and the axial pressure is fixed. It is found that samples break up evenly after impacting when axial static pressures are low, there is great disparity in size of fragments when axial static pressures are high, and the main bodies of samples after the tests under the combination of dy-namic and static loads frequently show the type of V or X. The samples are more close-grained at the elastic stage and impacts make many cracks be generated and developed, as makes samples more crackable. At the initial phase of damage stage, the static pressures make some cracks in the samples which are undeveloped and the impacts′ role is similar to that at the elastic stage. At the metaphase or anaphase of damage stage, these cracks in the samples develop adequately and the impacts mainly accelerate samples′ failure. The main bodies of samples show the type of V or X after impacting due to the confining pressures′ restraining samples′ lateral formation at the elastic stage or the initial phase of damage stage, the main bodies of samples have almost formed at the stage loading static pressures and the results after impacting usually are similar to those under the axial pressures tests.展开更多

In each stage, it is considered the static determinate truss, scheme of which is obtained after remove the suitable number of members from the basic static indeterminate truss. The both intermediate statically determinate trusses are of the same clear span and they are loaded by forces of half values applied to the corresponding truss nodes. The method applies one of the typical procedures of calculation of the statically determinate trusses and then it is applied in an appropriate way the rule of superposition for obtaining the final values of forces acting in particular members of the basic truss. The values of forces calculated in this way are of a very close approximation to the force values determined in the special and complex ways being considered as the exact calculation methods. The proposed method can be useful mostly but not only for the initial structural design of such systems. The simplicity of the two-stage method justifies an assumption that it can be relatively easy and worthy to adjust to the requirements of the computer aided technology of statically calculation of the complex forms of trusses.展开更多

The results are obtained in a very simple and quick way. Although the force values are approximated but they are relatively very close to those, which are determined by the exact methods. The point of the two-stage calculation process of the statically indeterminate trusses is to determine schemes of two independent and simple statically determined trusses, which after superposition of their patterns will give in the result a pattern of the initial, more complex form of the statically indeterminate truss. Each of the simple truss has to be of the same clear span and the load forces have to be of the half values and they have to be applied to the same nodes like in truss of the initial structural configuration.展开更多

It was found that environmental variables-including temperature, light, and moisture-elicit directional shifts in static traits ( e.g. , chemical composition, morphological architecture, and leaf tissue structure) toward enhanced environmental adaptation, characterized by graduality, juvenility, similarity, and correlativity. Upon alterations in ambient conditions, flue-cured tobacco modulates its static traits through integrated physical, chemical, and biological-genetic mechanisms, aiming to optimize resource utilization, mitigate environmental constraints, and preserve internal homeostasis alongside metabolic balance. The investigation further reveals that the adaptive scope of flue-cured tobacco to field environments is malleable and can be extended and elevated via adaptive conditioning commencing at the juvenile stage. In addition, the adaptive alignment between static traits and environmental parameters exerts a substantial impact on the plant s growth dynamics, yield performance, and quality attributes. Beyond its relevance to flue-cured tobacco, the proposed theory offers a meaningful framework for elucidating the pervasive adaptive strategies employed by plants and broader biological systems in response to environmental contingencies.展开更多

The efficiency of TE materials is typically evaluated by a dimensionless figure of merit (ZT = S2σT/(κe+ κl)), which depends on the delicate interplay among the electrical conductivity (σ), Seebeck coefficient (S), lattice thermal conductivity (κl), and electronic thermal conductivity (κe) [4].展开更多

文摘Two types of sensitivities are proposed for stat- ically stable sailcrafts. One type is the sensitivities of solar-radiation-pressure force with respect to position of the center of mass, and the other type is the sensitivities of solar-radiation-pressure force with respect to attitude. The two types of sensitivities represent how the solar-radiation- pressure force changes with the position of mass center and the attitude. Sailcrafts with larger sensitivities undergo larger error of the solar-radiation-pressure force, leading to larger orbit error, as demonstrated by simulation. Then as a case study, detailed formulas are derived to calculate the sensi- tivities for sailcrafts with four triangular sails. According to these formulas, in order to reduce both types of sensitivities, the angle between opposed sails should not be too large, and the center of mass should be as close to the axis of symmetry of the four sails as possible and as far away from the center of pressure of the sailcraft as possible.
文摘For statically indeterminate structure, the internal force will be changed with the translation of the supports, because the internal force is related to the absolute value of the stiffness EI. When the tension is different with the compression modulus, EI is the function of internal force and is not constant any more that is different from classic mechanics. In the other words, it is a nonlinear problem to calculate the internal force. The expression for neutral axis of the statically indeterminate structure was derived in the paper. The iterative program for nonlinear internal force was compiled. One case study was presented to illustrate the difference between the results using the different modulus theory and the single modulus theory as in classical mechanics. Finally, some reasonable suggestions were made for the different modulus structures.

文摘In the primary processing of cotton, it is important to increase the productivity of ginning and reduce the wear of working bodies. The working body of the genie is the working chamber, the saw cylinder and the rib grate. The main wear is on the saw cylinder shaft and saw teeth. The wear of these parts leads to additional material costs, as well as to a decrease in the quality of the fiber. The wear of the shaft is affected by the number of saws and the mass of raw cotton in the working chamber of the gin. To prevent wear of the saw cylinder, the article determines the optimal static load on the shaft by calculating saw gins consisting of 90, 100, 110, 120, 130 saws. An analysis of tables shows that maximum value to bending shows 120 and 130 saws cylinder, because shaft bending angles along the length appear. This leads to a 2% - 3% reduction in the distance between the saws, serves for the premature wear of the saw, the exit of short fibers.

The efficiency of TE materials is typically evaluated by a dimensionless figure of merit (ZT = S2σT/(κe+ κl)), which depends on the delicate interplay among the electrical conductivity (σ), Seebeck coefficient (S), lattice thermal conductivity (κl), and electronic thermal conductivity (κe) [4].

文摘Statically indeterminate symmetric(SIS)flexure structures are symmetric structures with“clamped-clamped”boundary conditions.The static indeterminacy and topological symmetry significantly attenuate the parasitic motions associated with statically determinate flexure structures.Hence,SIS flexure structures feature decoupled linear and angular motions,improved motion accuracy,high stiffness,and high stability.Although SIS flexure structures have been more frequently utilized as prismatic joints,they can also be utilized as revolute joints.This study systematically investigates the characteristics of SIS flexure structures.Based on the unified compliance models of a single flexure hinge,analytical compliance models of two fundamental types of SIS flexure structures are established.In 1-degree-of-freedom or planar applications,multiple SIS-based structures can also be integrated into various configurations to transmit linear or angular motions.Corresponding stiffness models are also established.The characteristics and possible applications of the SIS flexure structures are computationally investigated through case studies.Ultimately,several SIS prototypes are manufactured,and the modeling accuracy of the established stiffness models is experimentally verified.

文摘Single-pass and double-pass high-temperature deformation experiments were conducted on 40Cr10Si2Mo steel using a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator.The static recrystallization(SRX)behavior and recrystallization mechanisms of 40Cr10Si2Mo steel were investigated under deformation temperatures of 900-1100℃,deformation strains of 10%,20%,and 30%,and inter-pass times of 1-120 s.A static recrystallization fraction model was developed.The results showed that the SRX volume fraction increased with higher deformation temperature,larger deformation amount,and longer inter-pass time,with the deformation temperature having the most significant effect on SRX.During the deformation process,different process parameters led to different internal deformation mechanisms of the material.Static recovery and continuous static recrystallization(CSRX)dominated deformation at lower temperatures through progressive lattice rotation.In comparison,at higher temperatures,the deformation mechanism was dominated by CSRX and discontinuous static recrystallization(DSRX).The nucleation mechanisms of the SRX process were grain boundary bulging nucleation and subgrain merging nucleation,with grain boundary bulging present under all conditions.Subgrain merging nucleation could provide an additional nucleation mode at lower deformation temperatures or lower deformation amounts.Based on the traditional Avarmi equation,a modified model coefficient was used to establish the SRX kinetic model for 40Cr10Si2Mo steel.The linear correlation coefficient R^(2) between the predicted and experimental static recrystallization volume fraction was 0.96702,indicating high prediction accuracy.

文摘The accumulation and circulation of carbon and hydrogen contribute to the chemical evolution of ice giant planets.Species separation and diamond precipitation have been reported in carbon-hydrogen systems and have been verified by static and shock compression experiments.Nevertheless,the dynamic formation processes underlying these phenomena remain insufficiently understood.In combination with a deep learning model,we demonstrate that diamonds form through a three-step process involving dissociation,species separation,and nucleation processes.Under shock conditions of 125 GPa and 4590 K,hydrocarbons decompose to give hydrogen and low-molecular-weight alkanes(CH_(4) and C_(2)H_(6)),which escape from the carbon chains,resulting in C/H species separation.The remaining carbon atoms without C-H bonds accumulate and nucleate to form diamond crystals.The process of diamond growth is associated with a critical nucleus size at which the dynamic energy barrier plays a key role.These dynamic processes of diamond formation provide insight into the establishment of a model for the evolution of ice giant planets.

文摘An optimized volt-ampere reactive(VAR)control framework is proposed for transmission-level power systems to simultaneously mitigate voltage deviations and active-power losses through coordinated control of large-scale wind/solar farms with shunt static var generators(SVGs).The model explicitly represents reactive-power regulation characteristics of doubly-fed wind turbines and PV inverters under real-time meteorological conditions,and quantifies SVG high-speed compensation capability,enabling seamless transition from localized VAR management to a globally coordinated strategy.An enhanced adaptive gain-sharing knowledge optimizer(AGSK-SD)integrates simulated annealing and diversity maintenance to autonomously tune voltage-control actions,renewable source reactive-power set-points,and SVG output.The algorithm adaptively modulates knowledge factors and ratios across search phases,performs SA-based fine-grained local exploitation,and periodically re-injects population diversity to prevent premature convergence.Comprehensive tests on IEEE 9-bus and 39-bus systems demonstrate AGSK-SD’s superiority over NSGA-II and MOPSO in hypervolume(HV),inverse generative distance(IGD),and spread metrics while maintaining acceptable computational burden.The method reduces network losses from 2.7191 to 2.15 MW(20.79%reduction)and from 15.1891 to 11.22 MW(26.16%reduction)in the 9-bus and 39-bus systems respectively.Simultaneously,the cumulative voltage-deviation index decreases from 0.0277 to 3.42×10^(−4) p.u.(98.77%reduction)in the 9-bus system,and from 0.0556 to 0.0107 p.u.(80.76%reduction)in the 39-bus system.These improvements demonstrate significant suppression of line losses and voltage fluctuations.Comparative analysis with traditional heuristic optimization algorithms confirms the superior performance of the proposed approach.

文摘Conventional rolled Mg-Al alloy sheets typically exhibit strong basal textures that remain and may even strengthen after recrystallization annealing due to the preferential growth of basal-oriented grains,resulting in poor formability at room temperature.Therefore,the knowledge of recrystallization and grain growth is critical for modifying textures of Mg-Al alloy sheets.The static recrystallization and texture evolution in a cold-rolled dilute Mg-1Al(wt.%)alloy during various annealed temperatures ranging from 300℃ to 450℃,have been investigated using the quasi in-situ electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)method.The as-rolled Mg-1Al alloy shows a dominant basal texture,which weakens and broadens in the rolling direction(RD)during the subsequent annealing,accompanied by the formation of{1010}texture component.Particularly,the {1010} texture component is more pronounced after annealing at high temperatures.The quasi in-situ EBSD results show that recrystallized grains are mainly induced by shear bands,which exhibit a wide spectrum of orientations with c-axis tilt angles ranging 20°-45°from the normal direction(ND).Orientations of shear band-induced recrystallized grains are retained during the entire recrystallization process,resulting in a reduction in the texture intensity.Moreover,recrystallized grains belonging to the {1010}texture component grow preferentially compared to those with other orientations,which is attributed to low energy grain boundaries,especially grain boundaries with∼30°misorientation angles.Furthermore,the high temperature annealing facilitates the rapid growth of grain boundaries having a 30°misorientation angle,leading to the occurrence of distinct {1010} texture after annealing at 450℃ for 1 h.The results provide insights for texture modification of rare earth-free low-alloyed Mg alloys by controlling annealing parameters.
