This study focuses on the estimation of a system state-space model for a two-link space manipulator in the procedure of capturing an unknown object, and a recursive tracking approach based on the recursive predictor-based subspace identification(RPBSID) algorithm is proposed to identify the manipulator payload mass parameter. Structural rigid motion and elastic vibration are separated, and the dynamics model of the space manipulator is linearized at an arbitrary working point(i.e., a certain manipulator configuration).The state-space model is determined by using the RPBSID algorithm and matrix transformation. In addition, utilizing the identified system state-space model, the manipulator payload mass parameter is estimated by extracting the corresponding block matrix. In numerical simulations, the presented parameter identification method is implemented and compared with the classical algebraic algorithm and the recursive least squares method for different payload masses and manipulator configurations. Numerical results illustrate that the system state-space model and payload mass parameter of the two-link flexible space manipulator are effectively identified by the recursive subspace tracking method.展开更多

The distinctive feature of this method is that instead of solving the original optimization problem directly, we turn to seeking the solutions of a sequence of approximated problems which are formulated by relaxing the constraints of the original problem to some extent. The approximated problem can be solved efficiently by employing the algorithms developed for sizing optimization problems because its solution is not singular. It can also be proved that when the relaxation parameter is tending to zero, the solution of the approximated problem will converge to the solution of the original problem uniformly. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness and validity of the present approach. Results are also compared with those obtained by traditional methods.展开更多

A commercial finite element software HFSS and S-parameter retrieval method were used to determine the effective constitutive parameters of the metamaterials, and topology optimization technique was introduced to design the microstructure configurations of the materials with desired electromagnetic characteristics. The material considered was a periodic array of dielectric substrates attached with metal film pieces. By controlling the arrangements of the metal film pieces in the design domain, the potential microstructure with desired electromagnetic characteristics can be obtained finally. Two different LHMs were obtained with maximum bandwidth of negative refraction, and the experimental results show that negative refractive indices appear while the metamaterials have simultaneously negative permittivity and negative permeability. Topology optimization technique is found to be an effective tool for configuration design of LHMs.展开更多

Due to the trilinearity of the pushover curve of buildings with metallic structural fuses, the mechanism of the structural fuse is investigated through the ductility equation of a single-degree-of-freedom system, and the corresponding damage-reduction spectrum is proposed to design and retrofit buildings. Furthermore, the controlling parameters, the stiffness ratio between the main frame and structural fuse and the ductility factor of the main frame, are parametrically studied, and it is shown that the structural fuse concept can be achieved by specific combinations of the controlling parameters based on the proposed damage-reduction spectrum. Finally, a design example and a retrofit example, variations of real engineering projects after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedures using buckling restrained braces as the structural fuses.展开更多

It is found that this algorithm has an overwhelming advantage in computing efficiency over traditional methods, as demonstrated by some numerical examples given in this paper.展开更多

It is used to predict the topological structure of wave function and the oscillation rule of energy gap in various types of finite carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The theoretical model indicates that the characteristics of the electronic states only depend on the nanotube size and its symmetry along the shorter vector direction. In this direction, the wave functions of the original 3m (or 3m/2) periodicity are also suitable for armchair, chiral and zigzag finite CNTs with the C2 (Cs), C1 and Cn point groups, respectively. Energy gaps present the oscillation with 3m (or 3m/2) or odd-even n. The first principle calculations for some prototype systems are performed. The results are consistent with the theoretical model.展开更多

文摘In order to investigate the penetration performance of Linear-Shaped Charge(LSC),Embowed LinearShaped Charge(ELSC),and Embowed Linear Explosively Formed Projectile(ELEFP)on T-shaped stiffened plates,a series of near-field air-burst experiments are conducted.The damage modes and characteristics of the target plates are compared and analyzed.Each flat plate section is completely punctured,resulting in a penetration hole.The damage modes induced by the three charge types on the stiffened plate structure are consistent,characterized by shear failure in the central region of the flat plate due to penetration by the penetrator,localized plastic deformation of the flat plate,and local penetration failure resulting from partial perforation of the central stiffener.The penetration lengths caused by ELSC and ELEFP are 45.1%and 46.1% larger than that of LSC,while the half-width of the penetration hole generated by ELEFP is 54.2% and 24.7% smaller than that of ELSC and LSC,respectively.The penetration height caused by ELEFP are 17.5%and 62.1% larger than that of ELSC and LSC,respectively.The stiffener effectively segments the damage area,enhancing the local structural strength and limiting the extent of plastic deformation in the flat plate section.The comparative results show that the ELSC proves to be more effective for efficient large-scale damage,and ELEFP is more suitable for achieving efficient localized damage.

文摘Precise heterometal doping or substitution of specific metal sites in isostructural metal clusters remains a formidable synthetic challenge,despite its transformative potential for modulating excited-state characteristics and customizing optical properties.In this work,we achieved the precise synthesis of isostructural alloy clusters R/S-Ag_(3)Cu([Ag_(3)Cu(tppm)(R/S-IPTT)]ClO_(4),R/S-IPTT=R/S-4-isopropylthiazolidine-2-thiolate,tppm=tris(diphenylphosphino)methane)in high yield(89%-91%)through selective doping of a Cu(Ⅰ)atom into chiral homometallic cluster enantiomers R/S-Ag_(4)([Ag_(4)(tppm)(R/S-IPTT)]ClO_(4)).In stark contrast to R/S-Ag_(4)(Φ_(em)<0.5%)that displays weak circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)with phosphorescence characteristic,R/S-Ag_(3)Cu(Φ_(em)≈70%)demonstrates strong CPL properties featured with thermally activated delay fluorescence(TADF)at ambient temperature.The selective substitution of the apical Ag(Ⅰ)atom in Ag_(4)triangular pyramid with a Cu(Ⅰ)atom not only gives rise to beyond 100-fold boosting of photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY),but also leads to more pronounced optically chiral activity of alloy clusters in excited states in view of the larger photoluminescence dissymmetry factors(g_(PL))of R/S-Ag_(3)Cu(-3.5×10^(-3)/3.4×10^(-3))than that of R/S-Ag_(4)(-2.7×10^(-3)/2.6×10^(-3)).Furthermore,compared with chiral homometallic clusters R/S-Cu_(4)([Cu_(4)(tppm)(R/S-IPTT)]ClO_(4))with the same TADF characteristic at ambient temperature,R/S-Ag_(3)Cu manifests 1.7-fold PLQY and 6-fold g_(PL)due to faster reverse intersystem crossing(RISC)and more effective coupling of electric and magnetic transition moments in alloy clusters.This work not only presents a typical example of selective heterometal doping to modulate excited-state properties of isostructural metal clusters,but also gets deeper insight into the doping chemistry of dissimilar metals at the molecular level.

文摘Conformal truss-like lattice structures face significant manufacturability challenges in additive manufac-turing due to overhang angle limitations.To address this problem,we propose a novel angle-constrained optimization method grounded in the global adjustment of nodal coordinates.First,a build direction is selected to minimize the number of violating struts.Then,an angular-constraint matrix is assembled from strut direction vectors,and analytical sensitivities with respect to nodal coordinates are derived to enable efficient constrained optimization under nonlinear angular inequality constraints.Numerical studies on two complex curved-surface lattices demonstrate that all overhang violations are eliminated while only minor changes are induced in global stiffness and strength.In particular,the maximum displacement of an ergonomic insole varies by only 2.87%after optimization.The results confirm the method’s versatility and engineering robustness,providing a practical approach for additive manufacturing-oriented lattice structure design.

文摘As carrier aircraft sortie frequency and flight deck operational density increase,autonomous dispatch trajectory planning for carrier-based vehicles demands efficient,safe,and kinematically feasible solutions.This paper presents an Iterative Safe Dispatch Corridor(iSDC)framework,addressing the suboptimality of the traditional SDC method caused by static corridor construction and redundant obstacle exploration.First,a Kinodynamic-Informed-Bidirectional Rapidly-exploring Random Tree Star(KIBRRT^(*))algorithm is proposed for the front-end coarse planning.By integrating bidirectional tree expansion,goal-biased elliptical sampling,and artificial potential field guidance,it reduces unnecessary exploration near concave obstacles and generates kinematically admissible paths.Secondly,the traditional SDC is implemented in an iterative manner,and the obtained trajectory in the current iteration is fed into the next iteration for corridor generation,thus progressively improving the quality of withincorridor constraints.For tractors,a reverse-motion penalty function is incorporated into the back-end optimizer to prioritize forward driving,aligning with mechanical constraints and human operational preferences.Numerical validations on the data of Gerald R.Ford-class carrier demonstrate that the KIBRRT^(*)reduces average computational time by 75%and expansion nodes by 25%compared to conventional RRT^(*)algorithms.Meanwhile,the iSDC framework yields more time-efficient trajectories for both carrier aircraft and tractors,with the dispatch time reduced by 31.3%and tractor reverse motion proportion decreased by 23.4%relative to traditional SDC.The presented framework offers a scalable solution for autonomous dispatch in confined and safety-critical environment,and an illustrative animation is available at bilibili.com/video/BV1tZ7Zz6Eyz.Moreover,the framework can be easily extended to three-dimension scenarios,and thus applicable for trajectory planning of aerial and underwater vehicles.

文摘The on-orbit parameter identification of a space structure can be used for the modification of a system dynamics model and controller coefficients. This study focuses on the estimation of a system state-space model for a two-link space manipulator in the procedure of capturing an unknown object, and a recursive tracking approach based on the recursive predictor-based subspace identification(RPBSID) algorithm is proposed to identify the manipulator payload mass parameter. Structural rigid motion and elastic vibration are separated, and the dynamics model of the space manipulator is linearized at an arbitrary working point(i.e., a certain manipulator configuration).The state-space model is determined by using the RPBSID algorithm and matrix transformation. In addition, utilizing the identified system state-space model, the manipulator payload mass parameter is estimated by extracting the corresponding block matrix. In numerical simulations, the presented parameter identification method is implemented and compared with the classical algebraic algorithm and the recursive least squares method for different payload masses and manipulator configurations. Numerical results illustrate that the system state-space model and payload mass parameter of the two-link flexible space manipulator are effectively identified by the recursive subspace tracking method.

文摘In order to overcome the difficulties caused by singular optima, in the present paper, a new method for the solutions of structural topology optimization problems is proposed. The distinctive feature of this method is that instead of solving the original optimization problem directly, we turn to seeking the solutions of a sequence of approximated problems which are formulated by relaxing the constraints of the original problem to some extent. The approximated problem can be solved efficiently by employing the algorithms developed for sizing optimization problems because its solution is not singular. It can also be proved that when the relaxation parameter is tending to zero, the solution of the approximated problem will converge to the solution of the original problem uniformly. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness and validity of the present approach. Results are also compared with those obtained by traditional methods.

文摘Thin-walled structures are commonly utilized in aerospace and aircraft structures,which are prone to buckling under axial compression and extremely sensitive to geometric imperfections.After decades of efforts,it still remains a challenging issue to accurately predict the lower-bound buckling load due to the impact of geometric imperfections.Up to now,the lower-bound curve in NASA SP-8007 is still widely used as the design criterion of aerospace thin-walled structures,and this series of knockdown factors(KDF)has been proven to be overly conservative with the significant promotion of the manufacturing process.In recent years,several new numerical and experimental methods for determining KDF have been established,which are systematically reviewed in this paper.The Worst Multiple Perturbation Load Approach(WMPLA)is one of the most representative methods to reduce the conservatism of traditional methods in a rational manner.Based on an extensive collection of test data from 1990 to 2020,a new lower-bound curve is approximated to produce a series of improved KDFs.It is evident that these new KDFs have an overall improvement of 0.1-0.3 compared with NASA SP-8007,and the KDF predicted by the WMPLA is very close to the front of the new curve.This may provide some insight into future design guidelines of axially compressed cylindrical shells,which is promising for the lightweight design of large-diameter aerospace structures.

文摘An effective method to design structural Left-handed material(LHM) was proposed. A commercial finite element software HFSS and S-parameter retrieval method were used to determine the effective constitutive parameters of the metamaterials, and topology optimization technique was introduced to design the microstructure configurations of the materials with desired electromagnetic characteristics. The material considered was a periodic array of dielectric substrates attached with metal film pieces. By controlling the arrangements of the metal film pieces in the design domain, the potential microstructure with desired electromagnetic characteristics can be obtained finally. Two different LHMs were obtained with maximum bandwidth of negative refraction, and the experimental results show that negative refractive indices appear while the metamaterials have simultaneously negative permittivity and negative permeability. Topology optimization technique is found to be an effective tool for configuration design of LHMs.

文摘Recently, the structural fuse has become an important issue in the field of earthquake engineering. Due to the trilinearity of the pushover curve of buildings with metallic structural fuses, the mechanism of the structural fuse is investigated through the ductility equation of a single-degree-of-freedom system, and the corresponding damage-reduction spectrum is proposed to design and retrofit buildings. Furthermore, the controlling parameters, the stiffness ratio between the main frame and structural fuse and the ductility factor of the main frame, are parametrically studied, and it is shown that the structural fuse concept can be achieved by specific combinations of the controlling parameters based on the proposed damage-reduction spectrum. Finally, a design example and a retrofit example, variations of real engineering projects after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedures using buckling restrained braces as the structural fuses.

文摘This paper analyzes the random response of structural-acoustic coupled systems. Most existing works on coupled structural-acoustic analysis are limited to systems under deterministic excitations due to high computational cost required by a random response analysis. To reduce the computational burden involved in the coupled random analysis, an iterative procedure based on the Pseudo excitation method has been developed. It is found that this algorithm has an overwhelming advantage in computing efficiency over traditional methods, as demonstrated by some numerical examples given in this paper.

文摘Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(ZIBs) are attracting considerable attention because of their low cost,high safety and abundant anode material resources.However,the major challenge faced by aqueous ZIBs is the lack of stable and high capacity cathode materials due to their complicated reaction mechanism and slow Zn-ion transport kinetics.This study reports a unique 3 D ’flower-like’ zinc cobaltite(ZnCo_(2)O_(4-x)) with enriched oxygen vacancies as a new cathode material for aqueous ZIBs.Computational calculations reveal that the presence of oxygen vacancies significantly enhances the electronic conductivity and accelerates Zn^(2+) diffusion by providing enlarged channels.The as-fabricated batteries present an impressive specific capacity of 148.3 mAh g^(-1) at the current density of 0.05 A g^(-1),high energy(2.8 Wh kg^(-1)) and power densities(27.2 W kg^(-1)) based on the whole device,which outperform most of the reported aqueous ZIBs.Moreover,a flexible solid-state pouch cell was demonstrated,which delivers an extremely stable capacity under bending states.This work demonstrates that the performance of Zn-ion storage can be effectively enhanced by tailoring the atomic structure of cathode materials,guiding the development of low-cost and eco-friendly energy storage materials.

文摘Owing to safety issue and low energy density of liquid lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),all-solid-state lithium metal batteries(ASLMBs)with unique all-solid-state electrolytes(SEs)have attracted wide attentions.This arises mainly from the advantages of the SEs in the suppression of lithium dendrite growth,long cycle life,and broad working temperature range,showing huge potential applications in electronic devices,electric vehicles,smart grids,and biomedical devices.However,SEs suffer from low lithiumion conductivity and low mechanical integrity,slowing down the development of practical ASLMBs.Nanostructure engineering is of great efficiency in tuning the structure and composition of the SEs with improved lithium-ion conductivity and mechanical integrity.Among various available technologies for nanostructure engineering,electrospinning is a promising technique because of its simple operation,cost-effectiveness,and efficient integration with different components.In this review,we will first give a simple description of the electrospinning process.Then,the use of electrospinning technique in the synthesis of various SEs is summarized,for example,organic nanofibrous matrix,organic/inorganic nanofibrous matrix,and inorganic nanofibrous matrix combined with other components.The current development of the advanced architectures of SEs through electrospinning technology is also presented to provide references and ideas for designing high-performance ASLMBs.Finally,an outlook and further challenges in the preparation of advanced SEs for ASLMBs through electrospinning engineering are given.

文摘A theoretical model is summarized into the shorter vector principle. It is used to predict the topological structure of wave function and the oscillation rule of energy gap in various types of finite carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The theoretical model indicates that the characteristics of the electronic states only depend on the nanotube size and its symmetry along the shorter vector direction. In this direction, the wave functions of the original 3m (or 3m/2) periodicity are also suitable for armchair, chiral and zigzag finite CNTs with the C2 (Cs), C1 and Cn point groups, respectively. Energy gaps present the oscillation with 3m (or 3m/2) or odd-even n. The first principle calculations for some prototype systems are performed. The results are consistent with the theoretical model.
