文摘Vaginal delivery is a fascinating physiological process,but also a high-risk process.Up to 85%–90%of vaginal deliveries lead to perineal trauma,with nearly 11%of severe perineal tearing.It is a common occurrence,especially for first-time mothers.Computational childbirth plays an essential role in the prediction and prevention of these traumas,but fast personalization of the pelvis and floor muscles is challenging due to their anatomical complexity.This study introduces a novel shape-prediction-based personalization of the pelvis and floor muscles for perineal tearing management and childbirth simulation.300 subjects were selected from public Computed Tomography(CT)databases.The pelvic bone nmjmeshes were generated using a coarse-to-fine non-rigid mesh alignment procedure.The floor muscle meshes were personalized using the bone mesh deformation information.A feature-to-pelvic structure reconstruction pipeline was proposed,incorporating various strategies.Ten-fold cross-validation helped determine the optimal reconstruction strategy,regression method,and feature sizes.The mesh-to-mesh distance metric was employed for evaluating.The statistical shape relation-based strategy,coupled with multi-output ridge regression,was the optimal approach for pelvic structure reconstruction.With a feature set ranging from 3 to 38,the mean errors were 2.672 to 1.613 mm,and 3.237 to 1.415 mm in muscle attachment regions.The best-and worst-case predictions had errors of 1.227±0.959 mm and 2.900±2.309 mm,respectively.This study provides a novel approach to achieving fast personalized childbirth modeling and simulation for perineal tearing management.

文摘In the past few years,efforts have been made to extend the sensitivity of surface nuclear magnetic resonance(SNMR)to short relaxation times,typical for strongly bound water,which,for example,occurs in partially saturated soils.The two limiting factors for the sensitivity are the dead time after the excitation pulse and the duration of the pulse itself.To enable short pulses,while also achieving proper depths of investigation,high pulse amplitudes are needed.This makes it necessary to consider the Bloch-Siegert effect,i.e.the counter-rotating component and the parallel component of the excitation field have significant influence on the excitation.If an untuned transmitter circuit is used,the pulse shape will also be non-sinusoidal.In this paper,we demonstrate that this influences SNMR measurements with short pulses in two ways:On one hand,the pulse shape influences the phase of the fundamental frequency oscillation.On the other,at very high pulse amplitudes,other frequency components of the excitation field start to influence the excitation.The behavior of the macroscopic magnetizations in the subsurface during the pulse is simulated by solving the Bloch equations,using the pulse shape as an input.Since these calculations are computational expensive,we propose a lookup scheme that allows a time efficient modeling of the obtained SNMR data.

文摘The penetration of shaped charge jets into targets at high velocities is significantly influenced by the compressibility effect,while at low velocities,the strength effect becomes predominant.In the latter regime,material strength dictates the resistance to plastic deformation and flow,a contrast to the shockwave-dominated interactions where compressibility is key.This paper presents a self-consistent compressible penetration theory that considers both the axial penetration and radial crater growth of shaped charge jets into targets.An integrated approach where the axial and radial dynamics are coupled has been proposed,influencing each other through shared physical principles rather than being treated as separate,empirically linked phenomena.The presented theory is rooted in the compressible Bernoulli equation and the linear Rankine-Hugoniot relation.These foundational equations are employed to accurately model the high-pressure shock state and subsequent material flow at the jet-target interface,providing a robust physical basis for the penetration model.Notably,it considers the target material's compressibility,which elevates the pressure at the jet-target interface beyond that observed with incompressible materials.This pressure increase is directly proportional to the target's degree of compressibility.As such,this model of compressible penetration reorients the analytical approach:rather than merely estimating penetration resistance,it determines this value from the target material's specific compressibility and yield strength.This shift from empirical correlations to a physics-based derivation of penetration resistance enhances the model's predictive power,particularly for novel target materials or engagement conditions outside established experimental datasets.This investigation establishes a quantitative link between the material's yield strength and its penetration resistance.The accuracy of this penetration resistance value is paramount,as it significantly influences the predicted crater diameter;indeed,the crater diameter's sensitivity to this resistance underscores the necessity for its precise determination.Ultimately,by integrating the yield strength of the target material,this framework enables the prediction of both the penetration depth and the resultant crater diameter from a shaped charge jet.The theory's validation involved two experimental sets:the first focused on shaped charge jet penetration into 45#steel at varied stand-offs,while the second utilized targets of high-to ultrahigh-strength steel-fiber reactive powder concrete(RPC)with differing strength characteristics.These experimental campaigns were specifically chosen to test the theory against both ductile metallic alloys,where plastic flow is significant,and advanced quasi-brittle cementitious composites,presenting a broad spectrum of material responses and penetration challenges.Resulting hole profiles derived from theoretical calculations demonstrated a strong correspondence with empirical measurements for both material types.

文摘A new method was proposed for preparing AZ31/1060 composite plates with a corrugated interface,which involved cold-pressing a corrugated surface on the Al plate and then hot-pressing the assembled Mg/Al plate.The results show that cold-pressing produces intense plastic deformation near the corrugated surface of the Al plate,which promotes dynamic recrystallization of the Al substrate near the interface during the subsequent hot-pressing.In addition,the initial corrugation on the surface of the Al plate also changes the local stress state near the interface during hot pressing,which has a large effect on the texture components of the substrates near the corrugated interface.The construction of the corrugated interface can greatly enhance the shear strength by 2−4 times due to the increased contact area and the strong“mechanical gearing”effect.Moreover,the mechanical properties are largely depended on the orientation relationship between corrugated direction and loading direction.

文摘Shape memory polymers used in 4D printing only had one permanent shape after molding,which limited their applications in requiring multiple reconstructions and multifunctional shapes.Furthermore,the inherent stability of the triazine ring structure within cyanate ester(CE)crosslinked networks after molding posed significant challenges for both recycling,repairing,and degradation of resin.To address these obstacles,dynamic thiocyanate ester(TCE)bonds and photocurable group were incorporated into CE,obtaining the recyclable and 3D printable CE covalent adaptable networks(CANs),denoted as PTCE1.5.This material exhibits a Young's modulus of 810 MPa and a tensile strength of 50.8 MPa.Notably,damaged printed PTCE1.5 objects can be readily repaired through reprinting and interface rejoining by thermal treatment.Leveraging the solid-state plasticity,PTCE1.5 also demonstrated attractive shape memory ability and permanent shape reconfigurability,enabling its reconfigurable 4D printing.The printed PTCE1.5 hinges and a main body were assembled into a deployable and retractable satellite model,validating its potential application as a controllable component in the aerospace field.Moreover,printed PTCE1.5 can be fully degraded into thiol-modified intermediate products.Overall,this material not only enriches the application range of CE resin,but also provides a reliable approach to addressing environmental issue.

文摘Physics-informed neural networks(PINNs)have been shown as powerful tools for solving partial differential equations(PDEs)by embedding physical laws into the network training.Despite their remarkable results,complicated problems such as irregular boundary conditions(BCs)and discontinuous or high-frequency behaviors remain persistent challenges for PINNs.For these reasons,we propose a novel two-phase framework,where a neural network is first trained to represent shape functions that can capture the irregularity of BCs in the first phase,and then these neural network-based shape functions are used to construct boundary shape functions(BSFs)that exactly satisfy both essential and natural BCs in PINNs in the second phase.This scheme is integrated into both the strong-form and energy PINN approaches,thereby improving the quality of solution prediction in the cases of irregular BCs.In addition,this study examines the benefits and limitations of these approaches in handling discontinuous and high-frequency problems.Overall,our method offers a unified and flexible solution framework that addresses key limitations of existing PINN methods with higher accuracy and stability for general PDE problems in solid mechanics.

文摘We demonstrate a high-speed rotating slit beam shaping method for femtosecond(fs)laser three-dimensional(3D)isotropic inscription in glass materials.By integrating fs laser direct writing with a real-time rotating slit mechanism,a 3D symmetric spherical focal field distribution is created in the laser-irradiated regions of transparent substrates.The corresponding focal field distribution is theoretically calculated and validated by examining the features of laser-inscribed lines in glass samples.Moreover,we investigate the influences of laser writing speed and slit rotational speed on the fabrication resolution in glass,and discuss the formation mechanism of the generated periodic microstructures.To showcase its powerful capability for3D isotropic fabrication,the high-speed rotating slit beam shaping method is applied to create straight optical waveguides,bending optical waveguides,and hollow microchannels in the glass.The proposed method holds great potential for the facile manufacture of diverse 3D isotropic microstructures and devices within transparent materials across various applications,including advanced photonics,microoptics,micro-electromechanical systems,and microfluidics.

文摘Programmable/reprogrammable magneto-responsive composites(MRCs)are highly desirable for applications in soft robotics,morphable actuators,and biomedical devices due to their capabilities of undergoing reversible,complex,untethered,and rapid deformations.However,current MRC-based devices primarily rely on soft matrices,which revert to their original shapes and cease functioning when external magnetic fields are removed.Moreover,their magnetization programming,deformations,and functioning need to alternate between encoding and actuation platforms,limiting the adaptability and efficiency.Here,we present a reprogrammable magnetic shape-memory composite(RM-SMC)integrating a shape-memory polymer(SMP)skeleton with phase-transition magnetic microcapsules.High-intensity laser melts microcapsules for magnetic realignment under programmed fields,while low-intensity laser softens SMP for structural reconfiguration without compromising integrity.This dual-laser strategy facilitates in situ magnetization programming,shape morphing,and function execution within a single material system.Our innovative approach enables unique applications,including omnidirectional multi-degree-of-freedom actuators that can activate light switches,solar trackers that optimize energy capture,and adaptive impellers that modulate fluid pumping.By eliminating platform alternation and enabling shape/function retention post-actuation,the RM-SMC platform overcomes critical limitations in conventional MRCs,establishing a paradigm for multifunctional devices requiring persistent configuration control and field-independent operation.
文摘Modern-day human life is absolutely dependent upon the food that we derive from our crop plants. We eat grains, fruits, roots, tubers and other structures, all of which are constructed via coordinated organ growth. Whilst plant organ identity is first established in apical meristems （vegetative and floral shoot meristems and root meristems）, and in other meristematic regions, the final size and shape of organs are defined by subsequent coordination of organ expansion in longitudinal and transverse axes.

文摘The main goals of rice breeding nowadays include increasing yield,improving grain quality,and promoting complete mechanized production to save labor costs.Rice grain shape,specified by three dimensions,including grain length,width and thickness,has a more precise meaning than grain size,contributing to grain appearance quality as well as grain weight and thus yield.Furthermore,the divergence of grain shape characters could be utilized in mechanical seed sorting in hybrid rice breeding systems,which has been succeeded in utilizing heterosis to achieve substantial increase in rice yield in the past decades.Several signaling pathways that regulate rice grain shape have been elucidated,including G protein signaling,ubiquitination-related pathway,mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling,phytohormone biosynthesis and signaling,micro RNA process,and some other transcriptional regulatory pathways and regulators.This review summarized the recent progress on molecular mechanisms underlying rice grain shape determination and the potential of major genes in future breeding applications.

文摘We demonstrated a scheme of bandwidth expansion and pulse shape optimized to afford 10 PW laser design via spec-tral shaping,which uses the existing Nd:glass amplifier chain of the SG PW laser.Compared to the amplified pulse with a gain-narrowing effect,the required parameters of injected pulse energy,spectral bandwidth,and shape are analyzed,to-gether with their influence on the system B-integral,energy output capability,and temporal intensity contrast.A bandwidth expansion to 7 nm by using LiNbO_(3) birefringent spectral shaping resulted in an output energy of 2 kJ in a proof-of-principle experiment.The results are consistent with the theoretical prediction which suggests that the amplifier chain of SG PW laser is capable of achieving 6 kJ at the bandwidth of 7 nm and the B-integral<π.This will support a 10 PW laser with a compressed pulse energy of 4.8 kJ(efficiency=80%)at 480 fs.
文摘This article presents a detailed theoretical hybrid analysis of the magnetism and the thermal radiative heat transfer in the presence of heat generation affecting the behavior of the dispersed gold nanoparticles(AuNPs)through the blood vessels of the human body.The rheology of gold-blood nanofluid is treated as magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)flow with ferromagnetic properties.The AuNPs take different shapes as bricks,cylinders,and platelets which are considered in changing the nanofluid flow behavior.Physiologically,the blood is circulated under the kinetics of the peristaltic action.The mixed properties of the slip flow,the gravity,the space porosity,the transverse ferromagnetic field,the thermal radiation,the nanoparticles shape factors,the peristaltic amplitude ratio,and the concentration of the AuNPs are interacted and analyzed for the gold-blood circulation in the inclined tube.The appropriate model for the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid is chosen to be the effective Hamilton-Crosser model.The undertaken nanofluid can be treated as incompressible non-Newtonian ferromagnetic fluid.The solutions of the partial differential governing equations of the MHD nanofluid flow are executed by the strategy of perturbation approach under the assumption of long wavelength and low Reynolds number.Graphs for the streamwise velocity distributions,temperature distributions,pressure gradients,pressure drops,and streamlines are presented under the influences of the pertinent properties.The practical implementation of this research finds application in treating cancer through a technique known as photothermal therapy(PTT).The results indicate the control role of the magnetism,the heat generation,the shape factors of the AuNPs,and its concentration on the enhancement of the thermal properties and the streamwise velocity of the nanofluid.The results reveal a marked enhancement in the temperature profiles of the nanofluid,prominently influenced by both the intensified heat source and the heightened volume fractions of the nanoparticles.Furthermore,the platelet shape is regarded as most advantageous for heat conduction owing to its highest effective thermal conductivity.AuNPs proved strong efficiency in delivering and targeting the drug to reach the affected area with tumors.These results offer valuable insights into evaluating the effectiveness of PTT in addressing diverse cancer conditions and regulating their progression.
