文摘The composite structures/components made by friction stir lap welding(FSLW)of Mg alloy sheet and Al alloy sheet are of wide application potentials in the manufacturing sector of transportation vehicles.To further improve the joint quality,the ultrasonic vibration(UV)is exerted in FSLW,and the UV enhanced FSLW(UVeFSLW)was developed for making Mg-to-Al dissimilar joints.The numerical analysis and experimental investigation were combined to study the process mechanism in Mg/Al UVeFSLW.An equation related to the temperature and strain rate was derived to calculate the grain size at different locations of the weld nugget zone,and the effect of grain size distribution on the threshold thermal stress was included,so that the prediction accuracy of flow stress was further improved.With such modified constitutive equation,the numerical simulation was conducted to compare the heat generation,temperature profiles and material flow behaviors in Mg/Al UVeFSLW/FSLW processes.It was found that the exerted UV decreased the temperature at two checking points on the tool/workpiece interface from 707/671 K in FSLW to 689/660 K in UVeFSLW,which suppressed the IMCs thickness at Mg-Al interface from 1.7μm in FSLW to 1.1μm in UVeFSLW.The exerted UV increased the horizontal materials flow ability,and decreased the upward flow ability,which resulted in the increase of effective sheet thickness/effective lap width from 2.01/3.70 mm in FSLW to 2.04/4.84 mm in UVeFSLW.Therefore,the ultrasonic vibration improved the tensile shear strength of Mg-to-Al lap joints by 18%.

文摘This work examines the microstructure and corrosion properties of fine-grained Al 7075 across different regions under varying cooling conditions during friction stir welding.The findings demonstrate that forced cooling significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the welded joints.Specifically,the corrosion resistance was the highest in the stir zone,followed by the thermo-mechanical affected zone,and then the heat affected zone.Forced cooling mitigates grain growth by controlling the welding thermal effects,thereby increasing the proportion ofΣ3 grain boundaries.The modification of these microstructural characteristics promotes the formation of a dense oxide layer,thereby enhancing the corrosion resistance.Furthermore,forced cooling mitigates the precipitation and coarsening of the anodic phase in the stir zone,which in turn reduces the susceptibility of the joint to pitting corrosion.Additionally,the lower recrystallization texture content in the joint,resulting from forced cooling,contributes to a reduction in the number of corrosion-active sites,thereby further improving the corrosion performance of the welded joint.
文摘This study investigated the effects of xu-argument-based continuation writing on learners’processing of source texts.Seventy-five participants were randomly assigned to three conditions:(1)continuation writing,(2)summary writing,or(3)reading comprehension.Eye-tracking data were collected during reading,measuring early(first fixation duration,first pass duration)and late(go-past time,total fixation duration)eye movements.During writing,source-text rereading was tracked via fixation counts and durations.Results showed that task type did not affect initial lexical access,as first fixation duration showed no group differences.However,both production groups exhibited significantly longer first pass durations than the reading comprehension group.Late measures revealed a gradient pattern:the continuation writing group spent significantly longer gopast time and total fixation duration than the summary writing group,which exceeded the reading comprehension group.This indicates that continuation tasks promoted deeper cognitive engagement during reading.During writing,the continuation writing group spent more time rereading the source text with higher fixation counts than the summary writing group.These findings suggest that continuation writing triggers more intensive reader-text interaction during pre-writing and enhances comprehension-production coupling through sustained attention to input during writing.This study sheds light on the cognitive mechanisms underlying the theoretical and pedagogical value of xu-argument.

文摘Marine thin plates are susceptible to welding deformation owing to their low structural stiffness.Therefore,the efficient and accurate prediction of welding deformation is essential for improving welding quality.The traditional thermal elastic-plastic finite element method(TEP-FEM)can accurately predict welding deformation.However,its efficiency is low because of the complex nonlinear transient computation,making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid engineering evaluation.To address this challenge,this study proposes an efficient prediction method for welding deformation in marine thin plate butt welds.This method is based on the coupled temperature gradient-thermal strain method(TG-TSM)that integrates inherent strain theory with a shell element finite element model.The proposed method first extracts the distribution pattern and characteristic value of welding-induced inherent strain through TEP-FEM analysis.This strain is then converted into the equivalent thermal load applied to the shell element model for rapid computation.The proposed method-particularly,the gradual temperature gradient-thermal strain method(GTG-TSM)-achieved improved computational efficiency and consistent precision.Furthermore,the proposed method required much less computation time than the traditional TEP-FEM.Thus,this study lays the foundation for future prediction of welding deformation in more complex marine thin plates.

文摘The dissimilar 2B06 and 7B04 Al alloy joints were prepared by refill friction stir spot welding(RFSSW),and the microstructural evolution and corrosion behavior of the joints were investigated.Based on microstructural analysis,the welded joints exhibit distinct microstructural zones,including the stir zone(SZ),thermomechanically affected zone(TMAZ),and heat-affected zone(HAZ).The grain size of each zone is in the order of HAZ>TMAZ>SZ.Notably,the TMAZ and HAZ contain significantly larger secondary-phase particles compared to the SZ,with particle size in the HAZ increasing at higher rotational speeds.Electrochemical tests indicate that corrosion susceptibility follows the sequence of HAZ>TMAZ>SZ>BM,with greater sensitivity observed at increased rotational speeds.Post-corrosion mechanical performance degradation primarily arises from crevice corrosion at joint overlaps,but not from the changes in the microstructure.

文摘Underground engineering projects such as deep tunnel excavation often encounter rockburst disasters accompanied by numerous microseismic events.Rapid interpretation of microseismic signals is crucial for the timely identification of rockbursts.However,conventional processing encompasses multi-step workflows,including classification,denoising,picking,locating,and computational analysis,coupled with manual intervention,which collectively compromise the reliability of early warnings.To address these challenges,this study innovatively proposes the“microseismic stethoscope"-a multi-task machine learning and deep learning model designed for the automated processing of massive microseismic signals.This model efficiently extracts three key parameters that are necessary for recognizing rockburst disasters:rupture location,microseismic energy,and moment magnitude.Specifically,the model extracts raw waveform features from three dedicated sub-networks:a classifier for source zone classification,and two regressors for microseismic energy and moment magnitude estimation.This model demonstrates superior efficiency compared to traditional processing and semi-automated processing,reducing per-event processing time from 0.71 s to 0.49 s to merely 0.036 s.It concurrently achieves 98%accuracy in source zone classification,with microseismic energy and moment magnitude estimation errors of 0.13 and 0.05,respectively.This model has been well applied and validated in the Daxiagu Tunnel case in Sichuan,China.The application results indicate that the model is as accurate as traditional methods in determining source parameters,and thus can be used to identify potential geomechanical processes of rockburst disasters.By enhancing the signal processing reliability of microseismic events,the proposed model in this study presents a significant advancement in the identification of rockburst disasters.

文摘In this paper,we propose a novel graph signal processing convolution recurrent network(GSP CRN)for signal enhancement against high suppressive interference(HSI)in wireless communications.GSPCRN consists of the short-time graph signal processing(SGSP)approach and a modified convolution recurrent network.Similar to the traditional shorttime time-frequency transformation,SGSP frames the complex-valued communication signal and transforms it to the graph-domain representations,where the connection and weight flexibility of each vertex are fully taken into account.In the presence of HSI,SGSP can extract signal features from new graph-domain dimensions and empower neural networks for weak signal enhancement.Two SGSP methods,adjacency singular value decomposition and implicit graph transformation,are designed to capture relationships among the sampling points in the segmented signals.Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed GSPCRN outperforms existing classic methods in extracting weak signals from the HSI environment.When the interference-to-signal ratio exceeds 27dB,only our proposed GSPCRN can achieve the interference mitigation.

文摘English reading proficiency is essential for university students in a globalized academic environment,yet many L2 learners encounter challenges,such as limited vocabulary,complex syntax,and unclear text organization,leading to cognitive overload.Grounded in the Cognitive Load Theory(CLT),this study examines the role of the Chunking Reading Processing Strategy-which integrates fragmented linguistic information into meaningful units at lexical,syntactic,and discourse levels-in alleviating cognitive load and improving reading comprehension.Through a mixed-methods approach,the research investigates how learners at different proficiency levels perceive and apply the chunking strategy,and how such application relates to cognitive load management.The results indicate that higher-proficiency learners employ chunking more frequently and report greater benefits,whereas lower-proficiency learners depend more on instructional support.The study confirms the theoretical and pedagogical value of chunk-based reading instruction and suggests that differentiated,cognitively informed teaching of the chunking strategy can enhance both reading efficiency and strategic awareness among L2 learners.
文摘While the Ordos Basin is recognized for its substantial hydrocarbon exploration prospects,its rugged loess tableland terrain has rendered seismic exploration exceptionally challenging[1-3].Persistent obstacles such as complex 3D survey planning,low signal-tonoise ratio raw data,inadequate near-surface velocity modeling,and imaging inaccuracy have long hindered the advancement of seismic exploration across this region.Through a problem-solving approach rooted in geological target analysis,this research systematically investigates the behavioral patterns of nodal seismometer-based high-density seismic acquisition in loess plateau.Tailored advancements in waveform enhancement and depth velocity modelling methodologies have been engineered.Field validations confirm that the optimized workflow demonstrates marked improvements in amplitude preservation and imaging resolution,offering novel insights for future reservoir characterization endeavors.
文摘Background:In mental health,recovery is emphasized,and qualitative analyses of service users’narratives have accumulated;however,while qualitative approaches excel at capturing rich context and generating new concepts,they are limited in generalizability and feasible data volume.This study aimed to quantify the subjective life history narratives of users of psychiatric home-visit nursing using natural language processing(NLP)and to clarify the relationships between linguistic features and recovery-related indicators.Methods:We conducted audio-recorded and transcribed semi-structured interviews on daily life verbatim and collected self-report questionnaires(Recovery Assessment Scale[RAS])and clinician ratings(Global Assessment of Functioning[GAF])from Japanese users of psychiatric home-visit nursing.Using the artificial intelligence-based topic-modeling method BERTopic,we extracted topics from the interview texts and calculated each participant’s topic proportions,and then examined associations between topic proportions and recovery-related indicators using Pearson correlation analyses.Results:“School”showed a significant positive correlation with RAS(r=0.39,p=0.05),whereas“Family”showed a significant negative correlation(r=–0.46,p=0.02).GAF was positively correlated with word count(r=0.44,p=0.02)and“Hospital”(r=0.42,p=0.03),and negatively correlated with“Backchannels”(aizuchi)(r=–0.41,p=0.03).Conclusion:The present results suggest that the quantity,quality,and content of narratives can serve as useful indicators of mental health and recovery,and that objective NLP-based analysis of service users’narratives can complement traditional self-report scales and clinician ratings to inform the design of recovery-oriented care in psychiatric home-visit nursing.

文摘Oxide dispersion strengthened(ODS)alloys are extensively used owing to high thermostability and creep strength contributed from uniformly dispersed fine oxides particles.However,the existence of these strengthening particles also deteriorates the processability and it is of great importance to establish accurate processing maps to guide the thermomechanical processes to enhance the formability.In this study,we performed particle swarm optimization-based back propagation artificial neural network model to predict the high temperature flow behavior of 0.25wt%Al2O3 particle-reinforced Cu alloys,and compared the accuracy with that of derived by Arrhenius-type constitutive model and back propagation artificial neural network model.To train these models,we obtained the raw data by fabricating ODS Cu alloys using the internal oxidation and reduction method,and conducting systematic hot compression tests between 400 and800℃with strain rates of 10^(-2)-10 S^(-1).At last,processing maps for ODS Cu alloys were proposed by combining processing parameters,mechanical behavior,microstructure characterization,and the modeling results achieved a coefficient of determination higher than>99%.
