In order to analyze the impact of cylindrical charges on the tunnel blast wave loads and to develop a quantitative calculation method, this study carried out experimental and numerical research. Initially, external explosion experiments were conducted using both 35 kg spherical charges and cylindrical charges with aspect ratio of 4.8 at two different distances from the tunnel entrance. Comparative analysis of the blast wave parameters in the tunnel revealed that the explosive equivalent of the cylindrical charges was significantly higher than that of the spherical charges. To address this, an equivalent coefficient κ based on the spherical charges was proposed for the cylindrical charges. Subsequently, numerical simulations were conducted for the experimental conditions, and the numerical simulation results match the experiments well. Through numerical calculations, the reliability of the equivalent coefficient κ under the experimental conditions was verified, and comparison analysis indicated that the explosion energy of cylindrical charges spreads more radially, resulting in more explosion energy entering the tunnel, which is the fundamental reason for the increase in tunnel blast wave loads. Additionally, analyzing the explosion energy ratio entering the tunnel is an effective method for calculating the equivalent coefficient κ. Finally, through more than one hundred sets of numerical calculation results, the impact of the proportional distance λ and the ratio of charge mass to the tunnel cross-section dimension φ on the equivalence coefficients κ was investigated. An empirical formula for the equivalence coefficient κ was derived through fitting, and the accuracy of the formula was validated through literature experimental results. The research findings of this paper will provide valuable guidance for the calculation of blast wave loads in tunnel.展开更多

Twenty three p-section concrete beams with a 100 cm length were tested. TNT charges were placed at three positions: contact detonation in the center, contact detonation above the web and close-in detonation in the center. The external and internal breach parameters of the panels were evaluated by measuring the diameter of the ejection crater, spalling crater and breach hole created by the charge detonation. The experimental results were compared to predict values obtained by the analytical models proposed by McVay, Morishita and Remennikov. A modified breach with crater limit line and breach without crater limit line were put forward based on the experimental results. The maximum cross-sectional destruction area ratio(MCDAR) values were used to evaluate the damage degree. The maximum value of MCDAR reached 0.331 corresponding to the C5 experimental condition, of which explosion occurred above the web.展开更多

An experimental investigation and theoretical analysis were made on the law of deflection development and stiffness degradation, as well as the influence of fatigue load ranges. Test results indicate that the law of three-stage change under fatigue loading is followed by both midspan deflection and permanent deflection, which also have positive correlation with fatigue load amplitude. Fatigue stiffness of composite strengthened beams degrades gradually with the increasing of number of cycles. Based on the experimental results, a theoretical model by effective moment of inertia method is developed for calculating the sectional stiffness of such composite strengthened beams under fatigue loading, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results.展开更多

Four different small caliber projectiles were tested against SS400 steel plates of 9 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm thicknesses. The ballistic limit velocity was calculated using two standard methods, MIL-STD-662F and NIJ-STD-0101.06, and additionally using a support vector machine algorithm. The results show a linear relationship between the plate thickness and ballistic limit velocity. Further, the relative penetration performance among five different small caliber projectiles was analyzed using the Penetration Performance Ratio(PPR) introduced in this study, which suggests the potential of PPR to predict the ballistic limit velocity of other untested materials and/or different projectiles.展开更多

The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.展开更多

文摘The order-of-addition experiments are widely used in many fields,including food and industrial production,but the relative research under prior constraints is limited.The purpose of this paper is to select an optimal sequence under the restriction that component i is added before component j,while it is unachievable to compare all sequences when the number of components m is large.To achieve this,a constrained PWO model is first provided,and then the D-optimal designs for order-of addition experiments with minimal-points via the modified threshold accepting algorithm is established.The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through a job scheduling problem with a prior constraint for teaching cases.
文摘This study presents the ballistic limit velocity of small caliber projectiles against SS400 steel plate derived from live-fire ballistic experiments. Four different small caliber projectiles were tested against SS400 steel plates of 9 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm thicknesses. The ballistic limit velocity was calculated using two standard methods, MIL-STD-662F and NIJ-STD-0101.06, and additionally using a support vector machine algorithm. The results show a linear relationship between the plate thickness and ballistic limit velocity. Further, the relative penetration performance among five different small caliber projectiles was analyzed using the Penetration Performance Ratio(PPR) introduced in this study, which suggests the potential of PPR to predict the ballistic limit velocity of other untested materials and/or different projectiles.
文摘Sloshing experiment is crucial to determine the reaction performance of regeneration columns on an offshore floating platform.A novel type of column motion simulating device and a Marine Predator Algorithm-based Sliding Mode Controller(MPA-SMC)are proposed for such sloshing experiments.The simulator consists of a Stewart platform and a steel framework.The Stewart platform is located at the column's center of gravity(CoG)and supported by the steel framework.The platform's hydraulic servo system is controlled by a sliding mode controller with parameters optimized by MPA to improve robustness and precision.A numerical sloshing experiment is conducted using the proposed device and controller.The results show that the novel motion simulator has lower torque during the column sloshes,and the proposed controller performs better than a well-tuned PID controller in terms of target tracking precision and anti-interference capability.
文摘High-quality antiferromagnetic(AFM)θ-phase manganese nitride(MnN)films were successfully grown on MgO(001)substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy.Structural analysis confirms the high-quality MnN film has a tetragonal distortion with a c/a ratio of~0.98.The film exhibits exceptional stability in both aqueous and ambient conditions,which is a crucial factor for practical applications.Electrical transport reveals its metallic behavior with an upturn at low temperatures,which could be attributed to the Kondo effect originated from nitrogen vacancy-induced magnetic impurities.Room temperature exchange bias has been demonstrated in a MnN/CoFeB heterostructure,verifying the AFM ordering of MnN.Considering its high Néel temperature~650 K,superior stability,and low-cost,this work highlights the epitaxial MnN films as a promising candidate for AFM spintronic applications.
文摘By introducing noncanonical vortex pairs to partially coherent beams, spatial correlation singularity (SCS) and orbital angular momenta (OAM) of the resulting beams are studied using the Fraunhofer diffraction integral. The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.

文摘Red-green-blue(RGB)beam combiners are widely used in scenarios such as augmented reality/virtual reality(AR/VR),laser projection,biochemical detection,and other fields.Optical waveguide combiners have attracted extensive attention due to their advantages of small size,high multiplexing efficiency,convenient mass production,and low cost.An RGB beam combiner based on directional couplers is designed,with a core-cladding relative refractive index difference of 0.75%.The RGB beam combiner is optimized from the perspective of parameter optimization.Using the beam propagation method(BPM),the relationship between the performance of the RGB beam combiner and individual parameters is studied,achieving preliminary optimization of the device’s performance.The key parameters of the RGB beam combiner are optimized using the entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution TOPSIS method,establishing the optimal parameter scheme and further improving the device’s performance indicators.The results show that after optimization,the multiplexing efficiencies for red,green,and blue lights,as well as the average multiplexing efficiency,reached 99.17%,99.76%,96.63%and 98.52%,respectively.The size of the RGB beam combiner is 4.768 mm×0.062 mm.

文摘This paper discusses the influence of Sb/In ratio on the transport properties and crystal quality of the 200 nm InAs_(x)Sb_(1-x)thin film.The Sb content of InAs_(x)Sb_(1-x)thin film in all samples was verified by HRXRD of the symmetrical 004 reflections and asymmetrical 115 reflections.The calculation results show that the Sb component was 0.6 in the InAs_(x)Sb_(1-x)thin film grown under the conditions of Sb/In ratio of 6 and As/In ratio of 3,which has the highest electron mobility(28560 cm^(2)/V·s)at 300 K.At the same time,the influence ofⅤ/Ⅲratio on the transport properties and crystal quality of Al_(0.2)In_(0.8)Sb/InAs_(x)Sb_(1-x)quantum well heterostructures also has been investigated.As a result,the Al_(0.2)In_(0.8)Sb/InAs_(0.4)Sb_(0.6)quantum well heterostructure with a channel thickness of 30 nm grown under the conditions of Sb/In ratio of 6 and As/In ratio of 3 has a maximum electron mobility of 28300 cm^(2)/V·s and a minimum RMS roughness of 0.68 nm.Through optimizing the growth conditions,our samples have higher electron mobility and smoother surface morphology.

文摘Femtosecond laser processing is an important machining method for micro-optical components such as Fresnel zone plate(FZP).However,the low processing efficiency of the femtosecond laser restricts its application.Here,a femtosecond laser Bessel beam is proposed to process micro-FZP,which is modulated from a Gaussian beam to a Bessel annular beam.The processing time for FZP with an outer diameter of 60μm is reduced from 30 min to 1.5 min on an important semiconductor material gallium arsenide(GaAs),which significantly improves the processing efficiency.In the modulation process,a central ablation hole that has an adverse effect on the diffraction performance is produced,and the adverse effect is eliminated by superimposing the blazed grating hologram.Meanwhile,the FZP machined by spatial light modulator(SLM)has good morphology and higher diffraction efficiency,which provides a strong guarantee for the application of micro-FZP in computed tomography and solar photovoltaic cells.

文摘The existing analytical models for umbrella arch method(UAM)based on elastic foundation beams often overlook the influence of the surrounding soil beyond the beam edges on the shear stresses acting on the beam.Consequently,such models fail to adequately reflect the continuity characteristics of soil deformation.Leveraging the Pasternak foundation-Euler beam model,this study considers the generalized shear force on the beam to account for the influence of soil outside the beam ends on the shear stress.An analytical model for the deformation and internal forces of finite-length beams subjected to arbitrary loads is derived based on the initial parameter method under various conditions.The mechanical model of the elastic foundation beam for advanced umbrella arch under typical tunnel excavation cycles is established,yielding analytical solutions for the longitudinal response of the umbrella arch.The reliability of the analytical model is verified with the existing test data.The improved model addresses anomalies in existing models,such as abnormal upward deformation in the loosened segment and maximum deflection occurring within the soil mass.Additionally,dimensionless characteristic parameters reflecting the relative stiffness between the umbrella arch structure and the foundation soil are proposed.Results indicate that the magnitude of soil characteristic parameters significantly influences the deformation and internal forces of the umbrella arch.Within common ranges of soil values,the maximum deformation and internal forces of the umbrella arch under semi-logarithmic coordinates exhibit nearly linear decay with decreasing soil characteristic parameters.The impact of tunnel excavation height on the stress of unsupported sections of the umbrella arch is minor,but it is more significant for umbrella arch buried within the soil mass.Conversely,the influence of tunnel excavation advance on the umbrella arch is opposite.
