The factors controlling the spacing and morphological development of its deep thrust faults, as well as the formation mechanism of shallow normal faults, remain unclear. Meanwhile, the factors affecting the continuity of plane faults must be comprehensively discussed. Clarifying the development characteristics and deformation mechanisms of the Makran accretionary wedge is crucial to effectively guide the exploration of gas hydrate deposits in the area. This study aims to interpret seismic data to identify typical structures in the Makran accretionary wedge, including deep imbricate thrust faults, shallow and small normal faults, wedge-shaped piggyback basins, mud diapirs with fuzzy and disorderly characteristics of reflection, décollements with a northward tilt of 1° – 2°, and large seamounts. Physical simulation-based experiments are performed to comprehensively analyze the results of the plane, section, and slices of the wedge. Results reveal that the distances between and shapes of thrust faults in the deep parts of the Makran accretionary wedge are controlled by the bottom décollement. The uplift of the thrust fault-related folds and the upwelling of the mud diapirs primarily contribute to the formation of small normal faults in the shallow part of the area. The mud diapirs originate from plastic material at the bottom, while those that have developed in the area near the trench are larger. Seamounts and mud diapirs break the continuity of fault plane distribution.展开更多

To evaluate the MCWR process and better understand its deformation characteristics, the material flowing mechanisms, temperature distributions, strain and rolling force were analyzed. The correctness of the finite element simulation is experimentally verified. Numerical simulations and experiments led to the following conclusions: when α=36° and β=7.5°, the quality of the work piece can be significantly improved. Finally, the development of the asymmetric stepped shaft is applied to industrial production.展开更多

The driver transmits one＇s breaking intent through the brake pedal stroke and force. The hydraulic booster can amplify the pedal force, only when the engine operates. The hydraulic caliper is composed of cylinders, pistons. There are also hydraulic pipes from the booster to the caliper. Currently, X-By-Wire technology is researched actively due to the exhaustion of fuel and the regulation of CO2. As a chain of this trend, the e-pedal and an electric mechanical brake （EMB） also are highlighted. At the beginning of EMB development, high-torque and high-power motors are required in order to implement the existing hydraulic calipers＇ clamping force. This has some limits as the need of big spaces and high costs. Then the electro wedge brake （EWB） is launching with self-reinforcement features of the wedge structure. EWB can generate big clamping forces with small size and low-torque motors with good braking-efficiency. In recent, the disc＇s circumferential face clamping one has been researched, for better heat-emission ability and better braking-efficiency compared to the existing disc＇s lateral face clamping method. But, this circumferential face clamping method can have worse unbalance-wear features compared to lateral face clamping one. In this study, the authors describe their circumferential EWB concepts, the method for reducing unbalance-wear feature of circumferential EWB, and the cost-effective implementation of circumferential EWB, in particular focused on nonlinear counter-wedge profile which is appropriate to reduce unbalance-wear.展开更多

The cmnputational analysis compared with experimental data has been made to assess the influence of the wall temperature and the leading edge nose radius on a hypersonic double wedge boundary layer. It has been found that the laminar boundary layer separation occurs on the first ramp. Furthermore, the wall temperature and the leading edge nose radius have remarkable influence on the separation characteristics in the kink. Comparison of the calculated pressure coefficient distribution and the boundary layer profile with the experimental data shows that better results can be achieved when using the modified transition model.展开更多

In this paper, the detonation reflection from wedges is investigated for the wave dynamic processes occurring in the wave front, including transverse shock motion and detonation cell variations behind the Mach stem. A detailed reaction model is implemented to simulate two-dimensional cellular detonations in stoichiometric mixtures of H2/O2 diluted by Argon. The numerical results show that the transverse waves, which cross the triple point trajectory of Mach reflection, travel along the Mach stem and reflect back from the wedge surface, control the size of the cells in the region swept by the Mach stem. It is the energy carried by these transverse waves that sustains the triple-wave-collision with a higher frequency within the over-driven Mach stem. In some cases, local wave dynamic processes and wave structures play a dominant role in determining the pattern of cellular record, leading to the fact that the cellular patterns after the Mach stem exhibit some peculiar modes.展开更多

In contrast with traditional detonation induced by a single wedge, the present study considers oblique shock interactions attached to double wedges in a hypersonic combustible flow. The temperature/pressure increases sharply across the interaction zone that initiates an exothermic reaction, finally resulting in an Oblique Detonation Wave(ODW). Compared with the case for a single-wedge ODW, the double-wedge geometry has great potential to control the initiation of the ODW. As a tentative study, two-dimensional compressible Euler equations with a two-step induction-reaction kinetic model are used to solve the detonation dynamics triggered by a double wedge. The effects of the wedge angles and wedge corner locations on the initiation structures are investigated numerically.The results show an ODW complex comprising three Oblique Shock Waves(OSWs), an induction zone, a curved detonation front, and an unburned/low-temperature gas belt close to the surface of the second wedge. Both the increasing wedge angle and downstream wedge corner location lead to an abrupt OSW–ODW transition type, whereas the former corresponds to the shock–shock interaction and the later has a greater effect on the exothermic chemical process. Analysis of the shock polar and flow scale confirms that the OSW–ODW initiation structure mainly depends on the coupling of shocks and heat release in a confined initiation zone.展开更多

According to the theory of single-layer potential, the scattered-wave field can be constructed by applying virtual uniform loads on the surface of lined tunnel and the nearby wedge surface. The densities of virtual loads can be solved by establishing equations through the continuity conditions on the interface and zero-traction conditions on free surfaces. The total wave field is obtained by the superposition of free field and scattered-wave field in elastic wedge space. Numerical results indicate that the IBEM can solve the diffraction of elastic wave in elastic wedge space accurately and effi- ciently. The wave motion feature strongly depends on the wedge angle, the angle of incidence, incident frequency, the location of lined tunnel, and material parameters. The waves interference and amplification effect around the tunnel in wedge space is more significant, causing the dynamic stress concentration factor on rigid tunnel and the displacement amplitude of flexible tunnel up to 50.0 and 17.0, respectively, more than double that of the case of half-space. Hence, considerable attention should be paid to seismic resistant or anti-explosion design of the tunnel built on a slope or hillside.展开更多

To produce a part, one cylindrical billet should be placed between t wo counterrotating and wedge-shape dies, which move tangentially relative each other. The billet suffers plastic deformation (essentially, localized compressio n) during its rotation between the rotating dies. Compared to other numerical si mulation methods, the finite element method (FEM) has advantages in solving gene ral problems with complex shapes of the formed parts. In cross-wedge rolling, t here are four stages in the workpiece deformation process, namely knifing, guidi ng, stretching and sizing stage. It is time-consuming and expensive to design t he CWR process by trial and error method. The application of numerical simul ation for the CWR process will help engineers to efficiently improve the process development. Tselikov, Hayama, Jain and Kobayashi, and Higashimo applied the sl ip-line theory in study of CWR process analysis. Zb.pater studied CWR process i ncluding upsetting by upper-bound method. The above numerical simulation were b ased on the two-dimensional plain-strain assumption ignored the metal flow in workpiece axial direction. Therefore, the complex three-dimensional stress and deformation involved in CWR processes were not presented. Compared to other nume rical simulation methods, the finite element method (FEM) has advantages in solv ing general problems with complex shapes of the formed parts. As yet, a few 3-D finite element simulation studies on CWR process have been reported in literatu res. In this paper, the process of cross wedge rolling (CWR) has been simulated and analyzed by 3D rigid-plastic finite element method. Considering the charact eristic of CWR, the static implicit FEM program is selected. The models proposed in this study uses the commercial code DEFORM 3D to simulate the CWR process. T his is an implicit Lagrangian finite element code, which includes many new enhan cements functions. A new method of utilizing multiple processors using the MPI s tandard has been implemented. Automatic switching between the two different defo rmation solvers (Sparse Solver and Conjugate Gradient Solver) has also been impl emented in order to increase the speed of simulations. In this paper, all stages in CWR process are simulated to be able to closely understand and analyze the a ctual CWR process. For simulating all forming stages in CWR process, the dynam ic adaptive remeshing technology for tetrahedral solid elements was applied. T he stress distributions in cross section of forming workpiece are analyzed to in terpret fracture or rarefaction in the center of workpiece. Authors also analyze d the time-torque curve and the laws of load changing.展开更多

文摘The Paleo-Pacific Plate stagnated in the mantle transition zone beneath northeast Asia during the Late Mesozoic,resulting in the eastern Asian big mantle wedge(BMW).However,its formation mechanism remains unclear.Here,we analyzed elemental and isotopic compositions of 126-60 Ma intraplate basaltic rocks to map the mantle flow pattern and investigate the implications for the formation of the BMW.These rocks exhibit eastward an increase in Ba/Nb,Ba/La,^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr,and^(208)Pb/^(204)Pb ratios,while a decrease in Nb/Yb,Zr/Yb,Ta/Yb,and Nb/Nb*ratios,indicating mixing between the fertile mantle and the depleted mantle modified by slab material,implying the occurrence of trench-perpendicular mantle flow.The coeval mantle flow and formation of the BMW,the similar directions of mantle flow and Paleo-Pacific Plate subduction,and migration of basin depocenters indicate trench-perpendicular mantle flow was a key factor in the formation of the BMW.Moreover,these basaltic rocks have elevatedδ^(66)Zn values(0.22‰to 0.52‰),indicating recycled carbonates have been added into their mantle source,which increased the mantle flow velocity.Combined with slab roll-back in the Late Mesozoic,it created the essential conditions for mantle flow to promote the formation of the eastern Asian BMW.

文摘The phenomenon of shock/shock interaction(SSI)is widely observed in high-speed flow,and the double wedge SSI represents one of the typical problems encountered.The control effect of single-pulse plasma synthetic jet(PSJ)on double wedge type-Ⅵand type-ⅤSSI was investigated experimentally and numerically,and the influence of discharge energy was also explored.The findings indicate that the interaction between PSJ and the high-speed freestream results in the formation of a plasma layer and a jet shock,which collectively governs the control of SSI.The control mechanism of single-pulse PSJ on SSI lies in its capacity to attenuate both shock and SSI.For type-ⅥSSI,the original second-wedge oblique shock is eliminated under the control of PSJ,resulting in a new type-ⅥSSI formed by the jet shock and the first-wedge oblique shock.For type-ⅤSSI,the presence of PSJ effectively mitigates the intensity of Mach stem,supersonic jet,and reflected shocks,thereby facilitating its transition into type-ⅥSSI.The numerical results indicate that the peak pressure can be reduced by approximately 32.26%at maximum.Furthermore,the development of PSJ also extends in the Z direction.The pressure decreases in the area affected by both PSJ and jet shock due to the attenuation of the SSI zone.With increasing discharge energy,the control effect of PSJ on SSI is gradually enhanced.

文摘BACKGROUND Wedged hepatic venous pressure(WHVP)is a crucial variable for accurately assessing the hepatic venous pressure gradient(HVPG)and is vital for the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of patients with portal hypertension(PH).AIM To investigate the anatomical characteristics of balloon-occluded hepatic venous angiography in patients with PH and analyze the relationship between the WHVP and portal venous pressure(PVP).METHODS This retrospective study included 877 patients with PH who met the inclusion criteria from January 2020 to June 2024.Routine and innovative hepatic venous angiography was performed during transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedures to measure hepatic venous and PVPs.All patients'angiographic images were collected for analysis.The associations between WHVP and PVP in each group were analyzed via linear regression analysis,and a predictive model was established.RESULTS The 877 patients had a mean age of 52.6±13.0 years,with 582 males and 295 females.Patients were categorized into four groups on the basis of their anatomical structure.All groups showed strong correlations between WHVP and PVP.The regression coefficient between the WHVP and PVP in the hepatic right vein-portal venous angiography group was 0.884(P<0.05);in the hepatic right vein-accessory hepatic venous angiography group,it was 0.721(P<0.05);in the hepatic right vein-middle hepatic venous angiography group,it was 0.344(P<0.05);and in the hepatic right vein-nonangiography group,it was 0.293(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The presence and anatomical classification of hepatic venous collaterals are key factors influencing the relationship between WHVP with and PVP.Based on the different anatomical classifications of hepatic veins,WHVP can be used to estimate PVP,improving the accuracy of PVP prediction.
文摘Seismic quantitative reservoir simulations and characterizations have played a vital role in exploring stratigraphic traps,such as lateaggradational lowstands prograding wedge systems(LPWS)within lowstands systems tracts(LST).However,seismic data acquisition operations are always dominated by exceptional seismic coherent noise events,e.g.,multiples,which reduce the signal strengths of the sourcegenerated incident seismic waves within vertically and laterally heterogeneous earth systems.Hence,these noise events create hurdles in predicting paleo-depositional impedance(PDI),paleo-thickness(PTS),paleo-dense fractured networks,erosional and depositional zones,faultcontrolled migrations,and types of seismic reflection configurations(SRFC),which are key elements in developing stratigraphic pinch-out traps.This research utilizes the state-of-the-art technologies of spectral wavelet-based instantaneous time-frequency analysis and seismic waveform frequency-controlled porosity-constrained static reservoir simulation(FDPVS)tools to quantify the LPWS inside the Onshore Basin,Pakistan.The use of conventional amplitude-based seismic attributes,such as the average energy,remained a better tool for deciphering the overall geological architecture of the LPWS.Conventional FDPVS realizations resolved a PDI of−1.391 gm./c.c.^(*)m/s to−0.97 gm./c.c.^(*)m/s for LPWS with PTS of 12 and 20 m,respectively.A 0.9 km lateral extent of paleo-dense fractured networks(PDFN)with a strong linear regression R^(2)=0.93 was also resolved.Average energy attribute-based instantaneous frequency FDPVS realizations enabled the imaging of parallel-toprograding SRFC with resolved magnitudes of−0.259 gm./c.c.^(*)m/s for PDI,20 m for PTS,and 0.73 km for PDFN with linear regression transforms at R^(2)=0.92,which indicates the deposition of onlap fill facies inside the LPWS during extensive sea-level fall.These realizations have also resolved frequency-controlled fault migrations on 27-Hz spectral waveform-based amplitude plots with 2.174 gm./c.c.^(*)m/s PDI for conduit fault systems and 27-Hz with 0.585 gm./c.c.^(*)m/s PDI for sealing fault systems.All these structural configurations are completely sealed up by transgressive seals of transgressive systems tracts and,hence,developed into pure stratigraphic-based oil and gas plays.This research has strong implications for side-tracking drilling locations and provides an analogue for basins with similar geology and stratigraphy worldwide.

文摘304 stainless steel(SS)/Q235 carbon steel(CS)bimetallic composite shafts were prepared by the cross wedge rolling(CWR).The bonding interface welding mechanism was investigated through CWR rolling experiments and finite element simulation,as well as element diffusion,microstructure analysis,and mechanical property tests.According to simulation studies,the bonding interface is primarily subjected to three-directional compressive stresses at the tool-workpiece contact zone.As compression ratio increases from 0.25 to 0.35,the interface of the stress penetration area increases,while the diameter and wall thickness of CS/SS bimetallic shaft decrease,and hence,thickness-to-diameter ratio remains unchanged,which is conducive to the coordinated deformation of inner and outer metals and the interface of welded joints.The microstructure analysis of the interface shows that there are no obvious defects and cracks in the attachment,and that the microstructure on CS side is dominated by ferrite and martensite phases.Caused by the decarburization effect,Q235 steel microstructure features coarse ferrite,accompanied by a carburized layer with a thickness of about 20μm on SS side near the interface where grains are refined.As radial compression ratio increases,the diffusion distance of Cr,Ni,and other elements increases,the average thickness of the decarburized layer decreases,the interfacial bonding strength increases from 450 to 490 MPa,and metallurgical bonding at the interface is thus improved.The study demonstrates that it is feasible to use 304 SS and Q235 CS for cross wedge rolling composite shafts.

文摘The Makran accretionary wedge has the smallest subduction angle among any accretionary prism in the world. The factors controlling the spacing and morphological development of its deep thrust faults, as well as the formation mechanism of shallow normal faults, remain unclear. Meanwhile, the factors affecting the continuity of plane faults must be comprehensively discussed. Clarifying the development characteristics and deformation mechanisms of the Makran accretionary wedge is crucial to effectively guide the exploration of gas hydrate deposits in the area. This study aims to interpret seismic data to identify typical structures in the Makran accretionary wedge, including deep imbricate thrust faults, shallow and small normal faults, wedge-shaped piggyback basins, mud diapirs with fuzzy and disorderly characteristics of reflection, décollements with a northward tilt of 1° – 2°, and large seamounts. Physical simulation-based experiments are performed to comprehensively analyze the results of the plane, section, and slices of the wedge. Results reveal that the distances between and shapes of thrust faults in the deep parts of the Makran accretionary wedge are controlled by the bottom décollement. The uplift of the thrust fault-related folds and the upwelling of the mud diapirs primarily contribute to the formation of small normal faults in the shallow part of the area. The mud diapirs originate from plastic material at the bottom, while those that have developed in the area near the trench are larger. Seamounts and mud diapirs break the continuity of fault plane distribution.

文摘To overcome the inaccuracy problem of the traditional wedge evaluation of steel plates and strips caused by the ran-domness of the thicknesses of two local points and improve the reliability of the wedge index,the double-centroid method for the wedge evaluation was proposed,and a model based on the centroid theory was established.Meanwhile,an integral model for the discrete thickness values of the cross-section profiles was derived.The discussion focused on the distinct characteristics of the two-point method,asymmetric method,and double-centroid method in evaluating the asymmetric distribution of cross-sections.The three methods were employed to evaluate the wedge values of both the theoretical and measured cross-sections of steel plates and strips,and the accuracies of three wedge evaluation models were analyzed and discussed.The results showed that the double-centroid method objectively reflects the degree and variation characteristics of the wedge values of the cross-sections of steel plates and strips,and this method is feasible,reliable,and outstanding.

文摘A rigid-plastic finite element method(FEM) simulation model for a multi-wedge cross wedge rolling(MCWR) was developed to analyze an asymmetric stepped shaft. To evaluate the MCWR process and better understand its deformation characteristics, the material flowing mechanisms, temperature distributions, strain and rolling force were analyzed. The correctness of the finite element simulation is experimentally verified. Numerical simulations and experiments led to the following conclusions: when α=36° and β=7.5°, the quality of the work piece can be significantly improved. Finally, the development of the asymmetric stepped shaft is applied to industrial production.
文摘Cryogenic wedges developed due to very cold,rather arid conditions during the maximum of the last cold event when the drying up of the neighboring China Sea resulted in the failure of the East Asian Monsoon.As the climate ameliorated and the Monsoon rains reappeared,ice-wedges developed.Further warming permitted thawing of the ice infillings accompanied by replacement of the ice by sediments partly from the host ground as well as from the surface by wind or sheet wash.In cases of extreme surface water flow on slopes after 10 ka B.P.,small baydjarakhs typically c.50 cm high developed,only to have the resulting hollows infilled by sediments carried by wind and/or sheet wash.These shallow structures form a network on top of many of the cryogenic wedges.This complex history makes dating the ages of the wedges difficult using OSL methodology.Unfortunately,past field work ignored the problem of the angle of the cut face to the direction of the wedge infilling when sampling the contents of the narrow wedges,resulting in potential contamination of the samples with the host sediment.Sampling of the larger deposits should be alright,but the likelihood of contamination makes the interpretation of the resulting OSL dates from the narrow wedges questionable.Primary wedges consisting of primary mineral infillings should still have similar OSL dates with depth for a given wedge,but the distinction between ice-wedge infillings and soil wedges is difficult since both can exhibit older dates of the infillings with depth.The available data suggests that ice-wedges were significantly more common than sediment-filled primary wedges.A protocol to avoid having to obtain large numbers of OSL dates by more careful field sampling and the use of grain size determinations is provided in the Appendix.
文摘Existing hydraulic braking systems in the vehicle is composed of the brake pedal, the hydraulic booster and the hydraulic caliper. The driver transmits one＇s breaking intent through the brake pedal stroke and force. The hydraulic booster can amplify the pedal force, only when the engine operates. The hydraulic caliper is composed of cylinders, pistons. There are also hydraulic pipes from the booster to the caliper. Currently, X-By-Wire technology is researched actively due to the exhaustion of fuel and the regulation of CO2. As a chain of this trend, the e-pedal and an electric mechanical brake （EMB） also are highlighted. At the beginning of EMB development, high-torque and high-power motors are required in order to implement the existing hydraulic calipers＇ clamping force. This has some limits as the need of big spaces and high costs. Then the electro wedge brake （EWB） is launching with self-reinforcement features of the wedge structure. EWB can generate big clamping forces with small size and low-torque motors with good braking-efficiency. In recent, the disc＇s circumferential face clamping one has been researched, for better heat-emission ability and better braking-efficiency compared to the existing disc＇s lateral face clamping method. But, this circumferential face clamping method can have worse unbalance-wear features compared to lateral face clamping one. In this study, the authors describe their circumferential EWB concepts, the method for reducing unbalance-wear feature of circumferential EWB, and the cost-effective implementation of circumferential EWB, in particular focused on nonlinear counter-wedge profile which is appropriate to reduce unbalance-wear.
文摘The wave propagation behavior in an elastic wedge-shaped medium with an arbitrary shaped cylindrical canyon at its vertex has been studied.Numerical computation of the wave displacement field is carried out on and near the canyon surfaces using weighted-residuals(moment method).The wave displacement fields are computed by the residual method for the cases of elliptic,circular,rounded-rectangular and flat-elliptic canyons,The analysis demonstrates that the resulting surface displacement depends,as in similar previous analyses,on several factors including,but not limited,to the angle of the wedge,the geometry of the vertex,the frequencies of the incident waves,the angles of incidence,and the material properties of the media.The analysis provides intriguing results that help to explain geophysical observations regarding the amplification of seismic energy as a function of site conditions.
文摘A new compressibility correlation is introduced in the Langtry＇s local variable-based transition model to investigate the phe- nomenon on double wedge shock/boundary layer interactions. The cmnputational analysis compared with experimental data has been made to assess the influence of the wall temperature and the leading edge nose radius on a hypersonic double wedge boundary layer. It has been found that the laminar boundary layer separation occurs on the first ramp. Furthermore, the wall temperature and the leading edge nose radius have remarkable influence on the separation characteristics in the kink. Comparison of the calculated pressure coefficient distribution and the boundary layer profile with the experimental data shows that better results can be achieved when using the modified transition model.
文摘When the cell width of the incident detonation wave （IDW） is comparable to or larger than the Mach stem height, self-similarity will fail during IDW reflection from a wedge surface. In this paper, the detonation reflection from wedges is investigated for the wave dynamic processes occurring in the wave front, including transverse shock motion and detonation cell variations behind the Mach stem. A detailed reaction model is implemented to simulate two-dimensional cellular detonations in stoichiometric mixtures of H2/O2 diluted by Argon. The numerical results show that the transverse waves, which cross the triple point trajectory of Mach reflection, travel along the Mach stem and reflect back from the wedge surface, control the size of the cells in the region swept by the Mach stem. It is the energy carried by these transverse waves that sustains the triple-wave-collision with a higher frequency within the over-driven Mach stem. In some cases, local wave dynamic processes and wave structures play a dominant role in determining the pattern of cellular record, leading to the fact that the cellular patterns after the Mach stem exhibit some peculiar modes.

文摘An oblique detonation wave for a Mach 7 inlet flow over a long enough wedge of 30 turning angle is simulated numerically using Euler equation and one-step rection model.The fifth-order WENO scheme is adopted to capture the shock wave.The numerical results show that with the compression of the wedge wall the detonation wave front structure is divided into three sections：the ZND model-like strcuture,single-sided triple point structure and dual-headed triple point strucuture.The first structure is the smooth straight,and the second has the characteristic of the triple points propagating dowanstream only with the same velocity,while the dual-headed triple point structure is very complicated.The detonation waves facing upstream and downstream propagate with different velocities,in which the periodic collisions of the triple points cause the oscillation of the detonation wave front.This oscillation process has temporal and spatial periodicity.In addition,the triple point trace are recorded to obtain different cell structures in three sections.

文摘Pressure-gain combustion has gained attention for airbreathing ramjet engine applications owing to its better thermodynamic efficiency and fuel consumption rate. In contrast with traditional detonation induced by a single wedge, the present study considers oblique shock interactions attached to double wedges in a hypersonic combustible flow. The temperature/pressure increases sharply across the interaction zone that initiates an exothermic reaction, finally resulting in an Oblique Detonation Wave(ODW). Compared with the case for a single-wedge ODW, the double-wedge geometry has great potential to control the initiation of the ODW. As a tentative study, two-dimensional compressible Euler equations with a two-step induction-reaction kinetic model are used to solve the detonation dynamics triggered by a double wedge. The effects of the wedge angles and wedge corner locations on the initiation structures are investigated numerically.The results show an ODW complex comprising three Oblique Shock Waves(OSWs), an induction zone, a curved detonation front, and an unburned/low-temperature gas belt close to the surface of the second wedge. Both the increasing wedge angle and downstream wedge corner location lead to an abrupt OSW–ODW transition type, whereas the former corresponds to the shock–shock interaction and the later has a greater effect on the exothermic chemical process. Analysis of the shock polar and flow scale confirms that the OSW–ODW initiation structure mainly depends on the coupling of shocks and heat release in a confined initiation zone.

文摘The indirect boundary element method （IBEM） is developed to solve the scattering of plane SH-waves by a lined tunnel in elastic wedge space. According to the theory of single-layer potential, the scattered-wave field can be constructed by applying virtual uniform loads on the surface of lined tunnel and the nearby wedge surface. The densities of virtual loads can be solved by establishing equations through the continuity conditions on the interface and zero-traction conditions on free surfaces. The total wave field is obtained by the superposition of free field and scattered-wave field in elastic wedge space. Numerical results indicate that the IBEM can solve the diffraction of elastic wave in elastic wedge space accurately and effi- ciently. The wave motion feature strongly depends on the wedge angle, the angle of incidence, incident frequency, the location of lined tunnel, and material parameters. The waves interference and amplification effect around the tunnel in wedge space is more significant, causing the dynamic stress concentration factor on rigid tunnel and the displacement amplitude of flexible tunnel up to 50.0 and 17.0, respectively, more than double that of the case of half-space. Hence, considerable attention should be paid to seismic resistant or anti-explosion design of the tunnel built on a slope or hillside.

文摘It has been suggested that the carbonated mantle reflected by Mg-Zn isotopic anomalies of Cenozoic intraplate basalts from East Asia coincides with the stagnant West Pacific slab in the mantle transition zone.However,the northern boundary of such carbonated domain beneath East Asia is uncertain.Late Mesozoic-Cenozoic intraplate basalts are widespread in far eastern Russia and thus provide an opportunity to examine this issue.Here we report major-trace element contents and Sr-NdMg-Zn isotopic compositions for 9 Late Mesozoic-Cenozoic basaltic samples from the Khanka Block and Sikhote-Alin accretionary complex.They are characterized by large variations in SiO_(2)contents(41 wt.%to 50 wt.%)and CaO/Al_(2)O_(3)(0.50 to 0.97),enrichments of large-ion lithophile elements(LILE),positive Nb-Ta anomalies and strongly negative K,Pb,Zr,Hf,Ti,Y anomalies in primitive mantle-normalized trace element spider diagram.Furthermore,the rocks show good correlations of Ti/Ti^(*)with Hf/Hf^(*),La/Yb,Fe/Mn and trace element contents(e.g.,Nb).In addition,they have lighter Mg and heavier Zn isotope compositions than the BSE estimates,coupled with depleted Sr-Nd isotope compositions.These elemental and isotopic characteristics cannot be explained by alteration,magma differentiation or diffusion,but are consistent with the partial melting of carbonated peridotite.By and large,the Late Mesozoic-Cenozoic basalts from far eastern Russia bear very similar geochemical characteristics as those Na-series Cenozoic basalts from eastern China.The extended region of Mg-Zn isotopic anomalies is roughly coincident with the stagnant West Pacific slab beneath East Asia,and all of these alkali basalts can be generated from mantle sources hybridized by recycled Mg-carbonates from the Pacific slab stagnant in the mantle transition zone.We infer that(1)the carbonated big mantle wedge extends to the NE edge of the West Pacific slab and may have also appeared in the Late Mesozoic due to the effect of the Paleo-Pacific slab beneath this region,and(2)decarbonation of stagnant slabs in the mantle transition zone is a key mechanism for carbon outgassing from deep mantle to surface via intraplate alkali melts.
文摘Cross-wedge rolling (CWR) is a metal process of ro ta ry forming. To produce a part, one cylindrical billet should be placed between t wo counterrotating and wedge-shape dies, which move tangentially relative each other. The billet suffers plastic deformation (essentially, localized compressio n) during its rotation between the rotating dies. Compared to other numerical si mulation methods, the finite element method (FEM) has advantages in solving gene ral problems with complex shapes of the formed parts. In cross-wedge rolling, t here are four stages in the workpiece deformation process, namely knifing, guidi ng, stretching and sizing stage. It is time-consuming and expensive to design t he CWR process by trial and error method. The application of numerical simul ation for the CWR process will help engineers to efficiently improve the process development. Tselikov, Hayama, Jain and Kobayashi, and Higashimo applied the sl ip-line theory in study of CWR process analysis. Zb.pater studied CWR process i ncluding upsetting by upper-bound method. The above numerical simulation were b ased on the two-dimensional plain-strain assumption ignored the metal flow in workpiece axial direction. Therefore, the complex three-dimensional stress and deformation involved in CWR processes were not presented. Compared to other nume rical simulation methods, the finite element method (FEM) has advantages in solv ing general problems with complex shapes of the formed parts. As yet, a few 3-D finite element simulation studies on CWR process have been reported in literatu res. In this paper, the process of cross wedge rolling (CWR) has been simulated and analyzed by 3D rigid-plastic finite element method. Considering the charact eristic of CWR, the static implicit FEM program is selected. The models proposed in this study uses the commercial code DEFORM 3D to simulate the CWR process. T his is an implicit Lagrangian finite element code, which includes many new enhan cements functions. A new method of utilizing multiple processors using the MPI s tandard has been implemented. Automatic switching between the two different defo rmation solvers (Sparse Solver and Conjugate Gradient Solver) has also been impl emented in order to increase the speed of simulations. In this paper, all stages in CWR process are simulated to be able to closely understand and analyze the a ctual CWR process. For simulating all forming stages in CWR process, the dynam ic adaptive remeshing technology for tetrahedral solid elements was applied. T he stress distributions in cross section of forming workpiece are analyzed to in terpret fracture or rarefaction in the center of workpiece. Authors also analyze d the time-torque curve and the laws of load changing.
