This paper proposes a MS source location method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and multi-sensor arrays, where a free weight joints the P-wave first arrival data. This method adaptively adjusts the preference for “superior” arrays and leverages “inferior” arrays to escape local optima, thereby improving the location accuracy. The effectiveness and stability of this method were validated through synthetic tests, pencil-lead break (PLB) experiments, and mining engineering applications. Specifically, for synthetic tests with 1 μs Gaussian noise and 100 μs large noise in rock samples, the location error of the multi-sensor arrays jointed location method is only 0.30 cm, which improves location accuracy by 97.51% compared to that using a single sensor array. The average location error of PLB events on three surfaces of a rock sample is reduced by 48.95%, 26.40%, and 55.84%, respectively. For mine blast event tests, the average location error of the dual sensor arrays jointed method is 62.74 m, 54.32% and 14.29% lower than that using only sensor arrays 1 and 2, respectively. In summary, the proposed multi-sensor arrays jointed location method demonstrates good noise resistance, stability, and accuracy, providing a compelling new solution for MS location in relevant mining scenarios.展开更多

However, few studies have focused on its application in esophageal stents. In this paper, time-lapse degradation characteristics of pure Mg were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hydrogen evolution, pH and electrochemical measurements after immersion in artificial saliva for different times. Results revealed that a dense degradation product film formed on samples, which mainly consisted of two kinds of layers： one was calcium phosphate compounds with different structures; the other was thin magnesium hydrate layer close to the substrate. Less pH increase and low degradation rate were ob- served in the first 5 days of immersion, which can be ascribed to the formation of a thicker and denser layer on the sample surface with increasing immersion time. And then there was an increase in degradation rate and pH values; the deposition layer remained almost intact after immersion for 6 and 8 days. After 10 days of immersion, the degradation rate and pH value remained stable, and the calcium phosphate layer was delaminated and the inner magnesium hydrate layer was exposed. This study indicated that pure Mg exhibited desirable degradation resistance in artificial saliva, which provided magnesiumbased materials with the potential to be used as esophageal stents.展开更多

However, corrosion products deposited on Mg alloys exert a critical impact on corrosion resistance. There are no acceptable criteria on the evaluation on degradation rate of Mg alloys. Understanding the degradation behavior of Mg alloys in presence of Tris buffer is necessary. An investigation was made to compare the influence of Tris-HCl and Tris on the corrosion behavior of Mg alloy AZ31 in the presence of various anions of simulated body fluids via hydrogen evolution, p H value and electrochemical tests.The results demonstrated that the Tris-HCl buffer resulted in general corrosion due to the inhibition of the formation of corrosion products and thus increased the corrosion rate of the AZ31 alloy. Whereas Tris gave rise to pitting corrosion or general corrosion due to the fact that the hydrolysis of the amino-group of Tris led to an increase in solution p H value, and promoted the formation of corrosion products and thus a significant reduction in corrosion rate. In addition, the corrosion mechanisms in the presence of Tris-HCl and Tris were proposed. Tris-HCl as a buffer prevented the formation of precipitates of HCO;, SO;,HPO;and H;PO;ions during the corrosion of the AZ31 alloy due to its lower buffering p H value（x.x）.Thus, both the hydrogen evolution rate and corrosion current density of the alloy were approximately one order of magnitude higher in presence of Tris-HCl than Tris and Tris-free saline solutions.展开更多

文摘Aiming at mitigating the high risks associated with conventional explosive blasting,this study developed a safe directional fracturing technique,i.e.instantaneous expansion with a single fracture(IESF),using a coal-based solid waste expanding agent.First,the mechanism of directional fracturing blasting by the IESF was analyzed,and the criterion of directional crack initiation was established.On this basis,laboratory experiments and numerical simulations were conducted to systematically evaluate the directional fracturing blasting performance of the IESF.The results indicate that the IESF presents an excellent directional fracturing effect,with average surface undulation differences ranging from 8.1 mm to 22.7 mm on the fracture surfaces.Moreover,during concrete fracturing tests,the stresses and strains in the fracturing direction are measured to be 2.16-3.71 times and 8 times larger than those in the nonfracturing direction,respectively.Finally,the IESF technique was implemented for no-pillar mining with gob-side entry retaining through roof cutting and pressure relief in an underground coal mine.The IESF technique effectively created directional cracks in the roof without causing severe roadway deformation,achieving an average cutting rate and maximum roadway deformation of 94%and 197 mm,respectively.These on-site test results verified its excellent directional rock fracturing performance.The IESF technique,which is safe,efficient,and green,has considerable application prospects in the field of rock mechanics and engineering.

文摘To study the seepage and deformation characteristics of coal at high temperatures,coal samples from six different regions were selected and subjected to computed tomography(CT)scanning studies.In conjunction with ANSYS software,3 D reconstruction of CT images was used for the establishment of fluidsolid conjugate heat transfer model and coal thermal deformation model based on the microstructures of coal.In addition,the structure of coal was studied in 2 D and 3 D perspectives,followed by the analysis of seepage and deformation characteristics of coal at high temperatures.The results of this study indicated that porosity positively correlated with the fractal dimension,and the connectivity and seepage performances were roughly identical from 2 D and 3 D perspectives.As the porosity increased,the fractal dimension of coal samples became larger and the pore-fracture structures became more complex.As a result,the permeability of coal samples decreased.In the meantime,fluid was fully heated,generating high-temperature water at outlet.However,when the porosity was low,the outlet temperature was very high.The average deformation of coal skeleton with different pore-fracture structures at high temperatures showed a trend of initial increase and subsequent decrease with the increase of porosity and fractal dimension.The maximum deformation of coal skeleton positively correlated with connectivity but negatively correlated with the fractal dimension.

文摘Magnesium and its alloys as biodegradable implant materials can be potentially used in cardiovascular and orthopedic devices. However, few studies have focused on its application in esophageal stents. In this paper, time-lapse degradation characteristics of pure Mg were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hydrogen evolution, pH and electrochemical measurements after immersion in artificial saliva for different times. Results revealed that a dense degradation product film formed on samples, which mainly consisted of two kinds of layers： one was calcium phosphate compounds with different structures; the other was thin magnesium hydrate layer close to the substrate. Less pH increase and low degradation rate were ob- served in the first 5 days of immersion, which can be ascribed to the formation of a thicker and denser layer on the sample surface with increasing immersion time. And then there was an increase in degradation rate and pH values; the deposition layer remained almost intact after immersion for 6 and 8 days. After 10 days of immersion, the degradation rate and pH value remained stable, and the calcium phosphate layer was delaminated and the inner magnesium hydrate layer was exposed. This study indicated that pure Mg exhibited desirable degradation resistance in artificial saliva, which provided magnesiumbased materials with the potential to be used as esophageal stents.

文摘Lots of field investigations have proven that layer-crack structure usually appears during the excavation process of deep rock or coal mass.To provide experimental data for studying the formation mechanism of layer-crack structure,this study researches the influence of lateral pressure on the mechanical behavior of different rock types.Four rock types have been tested and the formation mechanism of macro-fracture surface is analyzed.Results indicate that the brittleness and burst proneness of rock or coal material are stronger than that of gypsum material due to the different mineral compositions and structures.When the lateral pressure is less than 10%uniaxial strength,the peak stress and elastic modulus increase with the increase of lateral pressure;but when the lateral pressure is larger than 10%uniaxial strength,the two parameters decrease slightly or keep steady.This is because when the lateral pressure reaches a certain value,local failure will be formed during the process of applying lateral pressure.Under the condition of low lateral pressure,the failure of the specimen is dominated by the tensile mechanism;under the condition of relatively high lateral pressure,the area of the specimen close to the free surface is tensile splitting failure,and the area far from the free surface is shear failure.

文摘Strainburst is one type of rockburst that generally occurs in deep tunnel.In this study,the strainburst behaviors of marble specimens were investigated under tunnel-excavation-induced stress condition,and two stress paths were designed,a commonly used stress path in true triaxial unloading rockburst tests and a new test path in which the intermediate principal stress was varied.During the tests,a high-speed camera was used to record the strainburst process,and an acoustic emission(AE)monitoring system was used to monitor the AE characteristics of failure.In these two stress paths,all the marble specimens exhibited strainbursts;however,when the intermediate principal stress was varied,the rockburst became more violent.The obtained results indicate that the intermediate principal stress has a significant effect on rockburst behavior of marble.Under a higher intermediate principal stress before the unloading,more elastic strain energy was accumulated in the specimen,and the cumulative AE energy was higher in the rockburst-induced failure,i.e.,more elastic strain energy was released during the failure.Therefore,more violent failure was observed:more rock fragments with a higher mass and larger size were ejected outward.

文摘A superhydrophobic surface was successfully constructed to modify the layered double hydroxide （LDH） coatings on aluminum alloy using stearic acid. The characteristics of the coatings were investigated using SEM, XRD, FT- IR and XPS. The corrosion resistance of the prepared coatings was studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectrum. The results revealed that the superhydrophobic surface considerably improved the corrosion-resistant performance of the LDH coatings on the aluminum alloy substrate. The formation mechanism of the superhydrophobic surface was proposed.

文摘Anchoring mechanism and failure characteristics of composite soft rock with weak interface usually exhibit remarkable difference from those in single rock mass.In order to fully understand the reinforcement mechanism of composite soft roof in western mining area of China,a mechanical model of composite soft rock with weak interface and rock bolt which considering the transverse shear sliding between different rock layers was established firstly.The anchoring effect was quantified by a factor defined as anchoring effect coefficient and its evolution equation was further deduced based on the deformation relationship and homogenized distribution assumption of stress acting on composite structure.Meanwhile,the numerical simulation model of composite soft rock with shear joint was prompted by finite element method.Then detailed analysis were carried out for the deformation features,stress distribution and failure behavior of rock mass and rock bolt near the joint under transverse load.The theoretical result indicates that the anchoring effect of rock-bolt through weak joint changes with the working status of rock mass and closely relates with the physical and geometric parameters of rock mass and rock bolt.From the numerical results,the bending deformation of rock bolt accurately characterized by Doseresp model is mainly concentrated between two plastic hinges near the shear joint.The maximum tensile and compression stresses distribute in the plastic hinge.However,the maximum shear stress appears at the positions of joint surface.The failure zones of composite rock are produced firstly at the joint surface due to the reaction of rock bolt.The above results laid a theoretical and computational foundation for further study of anchorage failure in composite soft rock.

文摘In vitro degradation is an important approach to screening appropriate biomedical magnesium（Mg） alloys at low cost. However, corrosion products deposited on Mg alloys exert a critical impact on corrosion resistance. There are no acceptable criteria on the evaluation on degradation rate of Mg alloys. Understanding the degradation behavior of Mg alloys in presence of Tris buffer is necessary. An investigation was made to compare the influence of Tris-HCl and Tris on the corrosion behavior of Mg alloy AZ31 in the presence of various anions of simulated body fluids via hydrogen evolution, p H value and electrochemical tests.The results demonstrated that the Tris-HCl buffer resulted in general corrosion due to the inhibition of the formation of corrosion products and thus increased the corrosion rate of the AZ31 alloy. Whereas Tris gave rise to pitting corrosion or general corrosion due to the fact that the hydrolysis of the amino-group of Tris led to an increase in solution p H value, and promoted the formation of corrosion products and thus a significant reduction in corrosion rate. In addition, the corrosion mechanisms in the presence of Tris-HCl and Tris were proposed. Tris-HCl as a buffer prevented the formation of precipitates of HCO;, SO;,HPO;and H;PO;ions during the corrosion of the AZ31 alloy due to its lower buffering p H value（x.x）.Thus, both the hydrogen evolution rate and corrosion current density of the alloy were approximately one order of magnitude higher in presence of Tris-HCl than Tris and Tris-free saline solutions.
