Vibration response and performance of a piezoelectric energy harvester under the hybrid excitation of base vibration and galloping is studied. Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the distributed-parameter model of a piezoelectric cantilever beam with base and galloping hybrid excitation is derived. Subsequently, the electromechanical coupled reduced order model and the decoupling model of the system is obtained. Thereafter, the analytical solution of the vibration response and the coupling relationship between the two hybrid excitations are analyzed. In the end, the impacts of the load resistance, the excitation acceleration and the wind speed on the power generation performance of the system are examined. Results indicated that the hybrid excitation can not only increase the energy harvester power of the system by 2.4W, but also effectively broaden the frequency band compared with the single foundation excitation. The research result is helpful to the dynamic design of a piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters under hybrid vibration excitation.

Many domestic traffic accidents are caused by high-temperature friction of truck's brake drum resulting in failure of brake system. Therefore, it is the key to solve the problem of decline on brake drum performance caused by temperature. The following schemes are mainly adopted: improving brake structure and friction materials, adding auxiliary brake devices, and installing cooling devices for brake system. This paper summarizes the structure and characteristics of most intelligent cooling devices for brake system in China. In addition, based on these intelligent cooling devices, the paper also puts forward new intelligent cooling devices for truck's brake system. The system uses sensors to analyze the temperature state of the brake drum. According to the analysis results, the central controller innovatively combines air pump and water pump to transform low-pressure water into high-pressure water, and then sprays and cools the brake drum through the water pipes and arc spray devices to ensure the normal operation of the brake system.

With the strategic transformation of our country's navy, the defense capability of long distance needs to be improved, which has higher requirements on the reliability and life of gas turbines. Bearing system is one of the factors that restricts the life and reliability of gas turbines. The fundamental reason is that the rolling bearings used have limited life and low reliability. Since sliding bearings have higher reliability, longer service life and lower maintenance costs, in order to improve the operation stability of a certain type of gas turbine which works under complex conditions, the former supporting elements were replaced with the more reliable tilting-pad sliding bearings. Its structure is designed according to the original structural dimensions. After finishing the structure design, we analyze the static characteristics of the designed bearing from the aspects like oil film pressure, oil film thickness, bearing capacity and so on, combining with the relevant Matlab program and provide a reference for the subsequent theoretical analysis after completing the subsequent bearing on-machine test.

In recent years, the automobile industry have shown the de-velopment trend of intelligence and networking. OSEK OS, the kind of traditional vehicle control operating system, has the characteristics of static configuration, but it cannot support new industry demands such as ADAS and OTA. Automobiles have become an important part of smart cities, and are currently developing in the direction of intelligence, networking, openness and sharing. However, OSEK OS, the traditional vehicle control operating system, statically configures tasks, alarms and other modules before running, which cannot be changed at runtime. Therefore, it is difficult to meet the needs of intelligent networked vehicles. AUTOSAR OS, the next-generation vehicle control operating system, adds sev-eral new functional modules and security mechanisms and is totally compatible with OSEK OS. In order to verify the re-liability of the new functional modules and security mecha-nisms of AUTOSAR OS, we tests the security mechanisms of VKware OS, which is an open source AUTOSAR OS, and designs a test set that conforms to the specification of AU-TOSAR OS, the test case can also be used for functional and security mechanism test of various AUTOSAR OS.

In this paper, a centrifugal pump of medium specific speed is taken as the research object, and the performance changes of the centrifugal pump are studied by setting five different ratio degrees of blades. The results show that due to the shortening of the blade length, the pump head and efficiency both decrease with the decrease of the ratio degree. In terms of static pressure distribution, the high pressure area in the volute expands from the outlet to the upstream with the decrease of the ratio degree, and forms an obvious boundary layer with the pressure in the impeller. Under the rated flow, the model pump with ratio degree R=2/3 has the best cavitation performance. When the number of impeller blades with a ratio of 2/3 was optimized, the flow field performance of the model pump with 8 blades was the best, and the head increased by 7.33% compared with the prototype pump at rated flow.

For low-fluidity alloys such as TiNb-rich high-entropy alloys, casting parts with complex geometry normally encounter the forming problems like incomplete filling, shrinkage cavities and porosity. Additive manufacturing (AM) is suitable for fabricating those complex parts. However, for the regular portion of a complex part such as the disc of an impeller, AM is not a cost-optimal choice. This work proposes a facile route to fabricate high-performance parts with complex geometry, in which the portion with regular geometry is cast whereas the complex portion that requires high performance is additively manufactured. The results show that the failure always occurs in the cast portion of the hybrid manufactured sample rather than at the interface between the AM portion and the cast one. The strong interfacial bonding is quite different from the welding joint which is commonly the weak link. Moreover, compared with the cast portion with coarse equiaxed grains, the equiaxed fine-grained AM portion exhibits higher strength without sacrificing ductility. Hybrid manufacturing does not introduce weakness, but rather can strengthen the targeted portion by a reasonable structural design.

In this study, the effect of microtab (MT) with different deployed positions and heights on the performance of a vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is investigated through two-dimensional CFD simulation. The simulation results show that optimum deployed position for better turbine performance is 96% of chord from leading edge and optimum height is 0.5% of chord, which makes the power coefficient of turbine increase by 13% at TSR = 3.2. The observation of flow fields around turbine blade with MT indicates that MT decreases area of stall region at azimuthal angles ranging from 90° to 270°, leading to the increase of pressure and torque of turbine blade. The simulated results demonstrate that MT is an effective solution to enhance flow characteristics around turbine blade and improve turbine performance at high tip-speed-ratios.

Ball screws are widely used as feed systems for machine tools due to their high transmission efficiency and long service life. However, the large inertia force generated by the ball screw in high-speed motion will excite its flexible mode and cause system vibration. In the actual working condition, the dynamics of the system will also change with the nut position and workpiece mass. In order to further study the modeling method and dynamic properties of the ball screw feed system, this paper firstly improves the traditional hybrid model by introducing an energy loss factor to modify the hysteresis damping of the model. Further, the rationality of the improved model is verified by hammer test. Finally, the model was used to analyze the dynamic properties of the system and to obtain the influence law of workpiece mass and nut position on the system natural frequency.

Most traditional agricultural machines use traditional mechanical transmission with fuel drive and front wheel steering, and most of them are manned, with low transmission efficiency, poor flexibility and low level of intelligence. This paper proposes a new high ground clearance sprayer with four-wheel independent drive (4WID) with dual front and rear steering axles. This sprayer is an oil-electric hybrid that not only saves energy, but also reduces the pollution to crops. In this study, a path tracking controller and a self-correcting controller are constructed based on the kinematic model of the sprayer, respectively. The model prediction controller is used as the main controller, and it outputs the desired steering angle and speed of the sprayer based on the current state of the sprayer and the desired path to achieve path tracking control. The self-correcting controller, as an auxiliary controller, adopts fuzzy control method and designs fuzzy control rules based on the driver's experience to correct the wheel turning angle at the current moment, which not only retains the advantages of model prediction control in linear path tracking, but also improves the control effect in curved path tracking and enhances the path tracking accuracy in large curvature roads. The simulation shows that the maximum lateral deviation of 0.03 m can be achieved by the model predictive control alone, and the maximum lateral deviation is reduced to 0.0141 m after adding the self-correcting controller.

In small-size Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology, the size of Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) below 90nm becomes higher and higher due to the enhancement of the short channel effect of transistors. CMOS Buffer is a very common circuit unit in VLSI. In this paper, a Pileup effect transistor (PET) is proposed to reduce the subthreshold leakage current of the CMOS buffer. The main principle of PET technology is to reduce the voltage difference between gate and source and the voltage difference between drain and source by lowering the voltage of source so as to reduce the subthreshold leakage current. Through simulation-based on Cadence and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) N65 library, PET technology can reduce leakage current power consumption by about one-twelfth of the original while maintaining the function of the original CMOS buffer.

Unbalance is a major factor influencing rotating machinery vibration. In general, vibration problems caused by mass imbalance can be solved by dynamic balancing method. When dynamically balancing a flexible rotor, if the counterweight plane does not coincide with the unbalanced plane, it will cause the rotor to bend and deform, and the bending deformation will produce a new unbalance force. So, it is important to identify the unbalanced force on each plane. A method to solve this problem using strain gauges was presented. The equation to identify unbalance force at three or more planes of a shaft is set up. A series of tests were done on a rotor bearing rig. The tests show that unbalance weights and angles at different rotating speeds were identified with high accuracy. It is a new and effective method for multi-disk shaft balance.

The HSV attitude-tracking control problem belongs to continuous control problems, which means the state space and the action space of the HSV are both continuous. The goal of DRL is to maximize accumulated rewards rather than the instant reward, so a fixed time length training episode and a normalized instantaneous reward function are presented to facilitate a comparison of each episodic return. Numerical simulation results show the proposed training manner can effectively make the learning controller track the attitudes for the longitudinal motion of HSVs with uncertainties. This training manner also can generalize to other continuous control problems.

In the production of wide titanium strips cold rolled by 20 high mill, when the diameter of the 1st intermediate roll is reduced, the work roll with a large roll diameter will be used to match it, which is called non-standard roll diameter configuration in this study. In order to master the control characteristics of the 1st intermediate roll shifting under non-standard roll diameter configuration, the coupled static model of roll system and strip is established by FEM, and the model is verified by using the corresponding relationship between the change of load roll gap and the change of titanium strip residual stress after cold rolling. The simulation results show that under the same rolling force, the contact stress peaks of non-standard roll diameter configuration in flat area and cone area of the 1st intermediate roll are about 1.44 times and 1.51 times of standard roll diameter configuration respectively. Compared with the standard roll diameter configuration, when the roll shifting amount increases, the longitudinal plastic strain of non-standard roll diameter increases most significantly in the range of 0-300mm from the titanium strip edge. Under the non-standard roll diameter configuration, increasing the roll shifting amount is more prone to occur the high-order buckle problem.

Since the traditional cellular cell communication system is no longer suitable for the development needs of the continuously accelerating high-speed railway, the distributed antenna system and the two-hop architecture are used to construct a system network architecture suitable for high-speed railway. Under the architecture of this system, for the problem of frequent handover between remote antenna units (RAUs) under the control of the same centralized unit (CU), this paper proposes an MFC/FSW algorithm by combining the concept of moving frequency concept (MFC) and frequency switching algorithm (FSW). Using FSW to trigger MFC, the frequency of RAU is changed by applying fiber optic radio technology in MFC. Due to the speed change has a greater effect on the success rate of the scheme, a correction factor is defined to mitigate the effect of speed on the success rate. The results show that the scheme can eliminate the traditional switching between RAUs, and the defined correction factor effectively mitigates the effect of the speed on the success rate.

The magnetically driven micro soft robot is a hot research topic in the field of micro robotics. The magnetic torque of each part of the robot rotates with its deformation, so the magnetic torque and magnetic force to which the robot is subjected are difficult to be calculated directly. The lack of physical interfaces for torque distribution in many finite element software reduces the speed and accuracy of calculating the deformation of a robot using finite element simulation methods. In this paper, a fast simulation method to convert the local magnetic torque into equivalent load density for the deformation mode of the sheet micro soft robot is proposed. A finite element model of the fabricated micro soft robot is established, and the deformation and total magnetic moment of the robot under different magnetic field strength and magnetic field gradient are simulated and calculated.

In the early stage of line construction, if the influence of adjacent lines is not considered in subsequent planning, the original lines need to be adjusted, and the reconstruction of the base station (BS) coverage along the railway increases the hardness of buliding and the invested funds. Therefore, a Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway (GSM-R) wireless field strength coverage prediction model based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm optimized radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) was proposed. Aiming at the problem of slow network convergence caused by improper selection of network parameters and structure of RBFNN, PSO algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of RBFNN, and combined with the actual measurement data on site, a PSO-RBFNN model is established to simulate and predict the field strength coverage. The results show that the prediction effect of PSO-RBFNN is the best, followed by RBFNN, and the worst of HATA model, which is very beneficial to the future railway GSM-R wireless network coverage and provides a feasible idea.

In recent years, high-strength micro-alloyed cold heading steel has developed rapidly, mainly by adding Nb, V, Ti and other micro-alloying elements to the steel for grain refinement and precipitation strengthening, it is widely used in automobiles, bridges, construction machinery and other fields due to its excellent strength and toughness, fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance. However, the common quality defects in the process of continuous casting and hot rolling of such steels - transverse cracks on the surface and corners, are still one of the technical difficulties in the production of the world's iron and steel enterprises. Therefore, it is of great scientific and engineering significance to deeply explore the evolution law of high temperature mechanical properties of niobium microalloyed cold heading steel, to analyze the common generation mechanism of surface transverse cracks and to propose general improvement measures. In this work, the high temperature thermoplastic properties of niobium microalloyed cold heading steel was studied by using Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator, combined with optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), the tensile fracture morphology and nearby microstructure were observed, and its high temperature plasticity mechanism was analyzed. The results show that the niobium microalloyed cold heading steel has two brittle temperature ranges: the first brittle zone is from the melting point to 1200°C, the temperature range of the third brittle zone is below 700°C, and the optimum plasticity zone is 700-1200°C. At 650°C, the fracture mode is ductile fracture and cleavage fracture; at 800°C, it is a typical cleavage-brittle fracture type; at 950°C, the fracture mode is dimple fracture, with good plasticity; at 1100°C, the particles become finer and the plastic deformation is more uniform. In order to avoid the occurrence of cracks in the continuous casting billet, the straightening temperature of the continuous casting billet should be higher than 700°C, it should be heated slowly in the early stage of heating, and the hot rolling temperature should be controlled at 700-1100°C.

The development of plastic product prototype by incremental sheet forming (ISF) has attracted extensive attention. Forming polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet into parts by ISF has a wide application prospect in many industrial fields. However, torsion is a problem that needs to be solved. In this paper, some truncated pyramids were formed by different feed speeds and tool paths with a certain spindle speed of the tool. Torsion angle of central line and accuracy of each formed part were measured. In addition, numerical simulation was also used to get the influence of tool path on the torsion of PVC parts. The results show that PVC part appears torsion around the central axis when it was formed by the unidirectional direction tool path, and torsion increases and accuracy reduces with increment of feed speed of the tool. Otherwise, the alternating bidirectional direction tool path can effectively eliminate the torsion of PVC part.

Liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) was an important candidate material for the fourth generation reactor coolant. Its high temperature and heavy metal corrosion conditions put forward higher requirements for the corrosion resistance of reactor structural materials. As a new kind of special material, glass-ceramic material, which possesses the excellent properties of glass and ceramics, has good mechanical property, wear-resisting property and corrosion resistance. The LBE corrosion behavior of glass-ceramics at typical operating temperatures of nuclear reactors was investigated. The lead bismuth corrosion test was carried out under the condition of oxygen saturation at 500°C for 500h. The lead bismuth corrosion resistance of the two glass ceramic samples in static LBE was analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). After 500 h corrosion in oxygen saturated liquid LBE at 500°C, there was no obvious corrosion on the surface of CMAS glass ceramics. Its dense microstructure and stable phase composition effectively prevented the penetration of Pb and Bi elements, and had good resistance to corrosion; The surface of LZS glass ceramics was covered with a layer of loose and porous compounds, and the thickness of the corrosion zone was 10 μm, which occurred a certain degree of lead-bismuth corrosion, and its corrosion resistance was poor. The results showed that under the same corrosion conditions, no lead bismuth corrosion behavior was found on the surface of CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS) glass-ceramic, while there was a corrosion layer with a thickness of about 10 μm on the surface of Li2O-ZnO-SiO2 (LZS) glass-ceramic, indicating that the lead bismuth corrosion resistance of CMAS glass ceramics was significantly better than that of LZS glass ceramics.

Compared to mechanical bearings, active magnetic bearings eliminate mechanical friction, resulting in lower energy losses. However, due to the magnetization characteristics and high-frequency working characteristics of the core material of the active magnetic bearing, there will be high wind friction loss, eddy current loss, hysteresis loss and copper loss in the active magnetic bearing. These losses will generate heat and increase the internal temperature of the bearing, which will not only affect the control accuracy of the active magnetic bearing and the stability of the rotor suspension, but may also cause irreversible damage to the components inside the active magnetic bearing. In this paper, different heat dissipation schemes are established to discuss the influence of the active magnetic suspension bearing on the loss and heat generation of the active magnetic bearing.

The membrane-based gas separation is well-suited for the recovery of hydrocarbons from nitrogen-rich exhaust gases. However, the separation performance of the existing polymeric membranes was insufficient. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) was synthesized and then incorporated into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to prepare ZIF-67/PDMS mixed matrix membranes via the spin-coating method. The resultant ZIF-67 and membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope. The C3H6/N2 (20:80 vol) mixed gas separation tests indicated that the ZIF-67/PDMS membranes achieved the higher C3H6/N2 separation factor but the lower C3H6 permeance in contrast with pure PDMS membrane. At the ZIF-67 loading of 5 wt%, the membrane displayed the optimal separation factor of 16.5 with comparable C3H6 permeance of 86.9 GPU. Besides, the relatively low operating temperature and pressure were advantageous to gaining good gas separation performance.

In order to explore the influence of different element contents on selecting the prediction model of gray cast iron's modulus, we apply Meta-analysis to retrieve Chinese journals related to gray cast iron and elastic modulus and adopt fixed effect models to evaluate and analyze the introducedδ value, hoping to provide theoretical basis for prediction model of elastic modulus. According to the analytical results: (1) When the silicon content is relatively low, the model E0=101.32+2.51Si/C is suggested for prediction.

According to the influence of welding process between 304 austenitic stainless steel and 20 steel dissimilar steel on the weld seam, the effects of welding current of 150A, 180A and 200A, normalizing and solution treatment on the microstructure and properties of the weld seam were studied by using MAG. The results show that the 150A current welding seam has incomplete fusion, which leads to its low strength and fracture toughness. With the increase of current, the necking fracture occurred on one side of 20 steel, and the brittleness and hardness of weld increased, all of which indicated that carbon element diffused from 20 steel to weld and 304 stainless steel. Although the corresponding post-welding heat treatment can reduce the hardness to a certain extent, improve the machining performance of welded joints and homogenize the microstructure of welded joints, it can't significantly improve the performance of welded joints of dissimilar steels.

NdFeB rare earth permanent magnets are widely applied in numerous fields including consumer electronics, industrial motors and new energy vehicles. Sintered NdFeB magnets are prepared by pressing and high-temperature sintering, followed by machining into desired shapes with anisotropism and high magnetic properties. During industrial production process, the appearance of non-magnetic impurities adhering on NdFeB magnet surface is a critical problem, which takes bad influences to not only magnetic properties of NdFeB, but also the qualification rate of subsequent assembled parts. There are two forms of impurities, one is gelatinous and the other is filamentary. In this paper, non-magnetic impurities on the surface of NdFeB magnets were characterized and analyzed by FTIR, EDS and SEM, and the methods to remove impurities were studied. The results showed that gelatinous impurities are stearamide derivative, which can be dissolved by xylenes under heating conditions. Filamentous impurities are cellulose derivative that can be removed by economical sodium hydroxide-urea system instead of expensive AmimCl, without damaging magnet plating and magnetic properties.

In this study, 1 mol%La2O3-2 mol%Gd2O3-2 mol%Yb2O3-6 mol%Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 (LGYYSZ) with 0 mol%, 5 mol% and 10 mol% TiO2 additions were synthesised by solid-state reactions. The effect of TiO2 addition on the phase stability of LGYYSZ and its sintering behaviour at 1500 °C were investigated using XRD, SEM and EDS. The results show that the eutectic temperature of LGYYSZ decreases with increasing TiO2 content. SEM, EDS and XRD results show that the TiO2 addition is reacted with the La2O3 in LGYYSZ to form a orthorhombic La2Ti2O7 phase. When held at 1500 °C, La2Ti2O7 is precipitated on the surface of the samples by evaporation-condensation mechanism. This resulted in the anti-sintering properties of LGYYSZ at 1500 °C decreasing with increasing TiO2 content.

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) possess multiple advantages as a sealing element for a packer. The contact stress between the SMP rubber and a casing (or the formation) is an essential indicator in evaluating the sealability of packers. This work conducts a finite element simulation based on the generalized Maxwell viscoelastic model and the time-temperature equivalence (TTE) principle to analyze the contact stress during the setting. The proposed model simulates the mechanical response of the polymer, including the stretch at a high temperature, cooling with a fixed shape, unloading at a low temperature, the shape recovery with reheating, and the stress relaxation. The results show that the contact stress distribution in the middle section of the packer is relatively uniform. The average contact stress is over 7.5 MPa and meets sealing needs. More significant stresses occur at the shoulders of the packer due to stress concentration. Both the shape recovery and the stress relaxation finish fast that it needs about 228.7 s to obtain stable contact stress after shape recovery. This study provides a method to evaluate the performance of the packer based on SMPs.

Black silicon with micro-nano structures were fabricated by irradiating silicon with 1064nm laser pulses of 8.7-ps duration, 4.5 μJ per single pulse, 100mm/s scanning speed in vacuum, and doping the black silicon by irradiating the silicon coated with Si-Se bilayer film. SEM images show that the surface micron-scale grooves covered with nano-scale particles pattern was produced on Si for both the sample with no film and with Se film, but the surface structure are smoother and more uniform in the presence of Se film. EDS graph demonstrated the presence of Selenium in the black silicon micro-nano structures. Furthermore, Raman spectra results indicate that the micro-nano structured black silicon is still crystal phase.

In this paper, the aerodynamic and aerothermal performance of the simplified two-dimensional wedge-shaped waverider bluntness leading edge and high pressure capture wing(HCW) combined configuration in a hypersonic continuous flow basin is numerically simulated by the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method, the flow field structure of the model is analyzed, and the law of anti-thermal rise is revealed. The main contents of the study include the surface heat flux and lift-drag ratio characteristics of the bluntness leading edge under different bluntness radii, the lift-to-drag ratio, and surface heat flux characteristics of the composite configuration of the bluntness leading edge and the high pressure capture wing under different bluntness radius. Within the scope of the study: 1. The larger the bluntness radius is, the more effective it is to reduce the heat flux of the head. When the bluntness radius is 2mm, the decrease is about 82.5%;2. The larger the bluntness radius is, the more serious the lift-drag ratio decreases. When the bluntness radius is 2mm, the lift-drag ratio decreases by about 72.4%;3. The combined configuration of the bluntness leading edge and the high pressure capture wing can effectively reduce the head heat flux under the premise of ensuring a certain lift-drag ratio. The optimal bluntness radius is 1mm, the head heat flux decreases by about 76% and the lift-drag ratio only decreases by 24%.

In the context of green and clean energy, latent heat energy storage by phase change materials is considered as one of the important energy technologies. In this paper, a new metal foam embedded graphene aerogel composite phase change material is developed, and pore-scale numerical simulations are performed in order to investigate the thermal properties of this composite phase change material. Among them, this paper designs copper foam with cubic periodic unit structure, which not only has high thermal conductivity, high porous structure and low relative density, but also can be rapidly fabricated by new fabrication techniques, while paraffin and erythritol are selected as PCM embedded in the metal foam. By analyzing the temperature-time and liquid phase-time relationship graphs, it is known that the new composite phase change material has more uniform internal temperature distribution and shorter melt condensation time compared to graphene-aerogel composite PCM, which provides a method for thermal management of PCMs.

Compared to autoclave-cured prepreg, liquid composite moulding (LCM) is a cost-effective alternative to produce advanced composites, thanks to the less-expensive intermediate materials, lower capital investment and shorter cycle time. A separate preforming step is typically required within the process chain to convert 2D fabric blanks into complex 3D geometries before moulding. Numerical models are therefore important to ensure near net-shape preforms during the design phase, in order to minimise the material wastage related to preforming. In this study, a microscale finite element (FE) model was employed to assist in determining the ply shape of multi-ply biaxial non-crimp fabrics (NCF) to achieve net-shape preforms made by double diaphragm forming (DDF) using a spar-like geometry. The forming deformation of the NCF was predicted by simulations considering the in-plane stiffness of the NCF. The location of wrinkles was indicated by the simulation using membrane elements. By continuously removing the redundant fabric material making contact with the machine bed and tool surface, net-shape preforms were achieved for the target geometry using single and multiple NCF plies respectively. Compared with the original ply shape, the number of wrinkles was reduced for the net-shape case due to the reduction in the bridging force induced by the contact pairing between fabric-diaphragm assembly and the machine bed.

A novel superhydrophobic Ni-graphene coating is synthesized on mild steel by one-step electrodeposition. The microtopography and contact angle of coatings deposited at varied deposition conditions were investigated to obtain the optimized preparation parameters. The anti-corrosion performance of the coatings was investigated by electrochemical polarization in synthetic seawater. The results illustrate that the Ni-graphene coatings deposited at GO concentration of 0.2 g·L–1 and current density of 4 A·dm–2 possessed dual roughness structures. After stored for 14 days in a vacuum drying chamber, the coating exhibited a contact angle of 156.1° and a sliding angle of 6.2°. Furthermore, the corrosion current density of the superhydrophobic coating was only 2.3×10–8 A·cm–2. This facilely prepared fluorine-free Ni-graphene superhydrophobic coating can potentially provide a pathway for corrosion control in the oil and gas industry.

In the present work, PtNi-loaded defective carbon (Pt/ZnPPC) was prepared by solid-phase method. Carbon support with specific defect types, such as Zn metal nitrogen carbon (ZnPPC850), N-doped carbon (ZnPPC950) and defective carbon (ZnPPC1050), were selectively obtained by optimizing the pyrolysis temperature to explore the effect of defect types on oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). Electrochemical measurements showed that the half-wave potential of the PtNi metal nanoparticle-loaded ZnPPC1050 catalyst (PtNi-ZnPPC1050) outperformed the commercial JM-Pt/C by 35 mV, and by 45 mV compared to the PtNi-loaded ZnPPC950 catalyst (PtNi-ZnPPC950), suggesting that the defects in the ZnPPC1050 support resulting from the evaporation of N by pyrolysis can interact well with Pt metal electrically, allowing the PtNi nanoparticles to be uniformly distributed. Meanwhile, the defects lead to the carrier containing a large number of active sites making its catalytic performance even much better than the pyridine nitrogen sites in ZnPPC950. The carbon defect structure is loosened and porous with high specific surface area, which can effectively load PtNi nanoparticles and enhance the mass transfer. We obtained a new bimetallic oxygen reduction catalyst loaded with PtNi on defective carbon and elucidated the effect of five-membered ring carbon defect structure and N-doped structure on metal-carrier interaction.

The continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites (called CFRTPCs) have been used in transportation, aerospace, sports and leisure products because of their great green recyclability and mechanical performances. This study evaluated the 3D printing process for the rapid manufacturing of CFRTPCs. The effect of laser and drilling processes, the size and shape of holes on mechanical performances of CFRTPCs were evaluated individually and mutually. The results proved that the small holes and low fiber content helped improve the strain at break while the big holes and the high fiber content helped improve the ultimate tensile strength and elastic modulus. The ultimate tensile strength and elastic modulus of specimens with square or big holes were higher than those of samples with circle or small holes. The ultimate tensile strength and elastic modulus of specimens with circle holes by laser were higher than those of samples with circle holes by drilling while the trend of strain at break was opposite. The micro morphology of the tensile breakage was observed and analysed to study the failure mechanism. This work makes an important contribution to the design of 3D printed CFRTPCs parts with holes.

Homogenization of refractory high entropy alloys (RHEAs) usually requires very high annealing temperatures and long periods due to the high melting temperature of alloying elements and the sluggish diffusion effects. TiVTaNb is a typical RHEA with excellent mechanical properties. The present work takes TiVTaNb as a model alloy and shows the influence of cold-deformation, annealing temperature, and annealing time on its homogenization microstructure. The optimal process parameters are determined as cold deformation of 80% thickness reduction, followed by annealing at 1250 °C for 48 h. The tensile deformation behavior of the homogenized alloy is then studied based on quasi-in situ tensile testing, showing a tensile strength of 766 MPa. The tensile deformation is accompanied by grain rotation, meanwhile, a large number of geometrically necessary dislocations piles-up at the grain boundaries.

This transformation effectively improved the uniform ductility to around 17%. The gradually induced martensite lamella shows the "dynamic Hall-Petch" effect during transformation, which reduces the mean free path of dislocation slip, resulting in Z25 alloy with excellent ductility and remarkable work hardening effect.

Through electrochemical hydrogen permeation experiment at different hydrogen charging current densities, the hydrogen diffusion kinetic parameters such as penetration time tB, steady-state hydrogen permeation current density I, hydrogen diffusion coefficient D, adsorbed hydrogen concentration C0, hydrogen flux J, and hydrogen trap density NT in the heat-affected zone of X80 steel welding with different heat input were analyzed. The results show that the penetration time gradually decreases, and the I gradually increases with the increase of hydrogen charging current density. The penetration time of BM at the same hydrogen charging current density is the smallest, and the penetration times of CGHAZ specimens with different heat input conditions are relatively close. BM has the most significant hydrogen diffusion coefficient and negligible hydrogen trap density at the same hydrogen charging current densities. For CGHAZ, D significantly decreases and NT substantially increases, and there exists a threshold value that makes the lowest D in the CGHAZ with different heat inputs.

Ti-Zr-Hf-Nb-Ta system refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) exhibits outstanding tensile ductility in room temperature. However, the moderate yield strength of them is insufficient. In this work, the Fe element with small atomic radius was added into a non-equiatomic Ti-Zr-Hf-Nb-Ta RHEA for furtherly improving the yield strength. As a result, the yield strength of modified RHEA is as high as ~970 MPa, while retains a considerable fracture train of ~17.5%. However, the Hf2Fe brittle precipitates were formed at grain boundary after aging treatment, leading to a further increment of yield strength but severe deterioration of ductility.

The effect of low-pressure carburizing (LPC) on the mechanical properties of open cellular structures was studied by taking the 316L stainless steel body-centred cubic (BCC) lattice fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) as an example. The mechanical properties of the corresponding solid material and the microstructure of the carburized layer were also analyzed. The results showed that the depth of the carburized layer was about 450μm, composed of three sub-layers. After carburized, the yield strength of the 316L solid was obviously decreased accompanied by the reduced elongation at break. The embrittlement was also reflected in the carburized lattice so that the fracture occurred and the energy absorption capacity weakened. Simultaneously, the compressive proof strength of the lattice was improved after low-pressure carburizing due to the toughness inherent in the structure.

Increasing the ligand size could enlarge the pore volume of MOFs, which could further increase the gas adsorption capacity. Inspired by this, we synthesized a porous 3D metalorganic framework [Cu2(L1)·(H2O)2] ·2H2O·3DMF·(CH3)2NH2] (NEM-5) with a high density of carboxylate groups and CuII sites, which exhibited large uptakes for C2H2 (65 cm3 g-1), C2H4 (48 cm3 g-1), C2H6 (64.7 cm3 g-1), C3H6 (68 cm3 g-1), and C3H8 (63.4 cm3 g-1) at room temperature. Compared with MOF 1, NEM-5 has a similar topology and larger pore volume, but the gas adsorption capacities are significantly reduced, which might be attributed to the large pore size and low framework density of NEM-5.

(1-x)CaCu3Ti4O12-xCeO2 (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) and CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics were synthesized through a solid-state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction indicates that the CaCu3Ti4O12 phase is formed in all ceramics. SEM micrographs show that the grain size of ceramics declines with the addition of CeO2, which is attributed to the solute drag effect. When the addition amount of CeO2 is 0.4, the ceramic obtains the maximum dielectric constant at low frequency. Increasing the composite content of CeO2 can effectively reduce the dielectric loss of CCTO ceramics at high frequency. And the lowest value is 0.1 when the addition amount of CeO2 is 0.3. Impedance analysis shows that the lowest dielectric loss obtained for the ceramic is due to the lowest grain resistance.

The mechanical model is established by analyzing the forces of key components during the process of transformation, after which stress and strain of them is analyzed through finite element analysis software, according to previous calculations from the model. The results show that parts with direct contact with ground bear more forces than others. Maximum stress of parts is within the limit strength of materials, but structure of weaker parts should be further improved to reduce stress concentration.

A proactive search time adjustment model based on the optimally weighted LightGBM algorithm was studied in this paper for the problem of large delay fluctuations in 5G distribution terminals leading to protection blocking. The model used historical data on delay fluctuations of wireless communication terminals and feature variables such as temperature and date and time as inputs to predict delays and dynamically adjust equipment parameters. First, the original feature variables were pre-processed via feature engineering, then the data were fitted together with the historical delay data by the LightGBM algorithm. And the final weighted combination was used to adjust the predicted values in combination with the real-time monitoring delay of the terminal, finally realizing the high-precision prediction of 5G terminal delay. The results show that the proposed method can effectively achieve delay prediction and has higher prediction accuracy than random forest regression and XGBoost algorithms.

To face the problem of freight safety and reduce the traffic accidents, the influence of the response time of the pneumatic braking system on the braking performance should be investigated, which can improve the safety level of vehicle. The mathematical model of the pneumatic braking response time was established in this paper. The parameters of the pneumatic braking time and the time delay characteristics of the pneumatic braking system was discussed. The results show that the pressure and effective cross-sectional area of the brake chamber are the main factors affecting the time delay of the pneumatic braking system. When the effective cross-sectional area of the brake chamber is certain, the push rod stroke of the brake chamber increases significantly with the increase of air pressure; when the brake chamber pressure is constant, the larger the effective cross-sectional area of the brake chamber, the greater the output thrust of the brake chamber push rod.

The stress concentration of oil and gas pipelines will produce corrosion cracks and axial fatigue cracks under the action of long-term and repeated internal pressure, and will rapidly expand under fluctuating internal pressure, resulting in serious pipeline accidents. In order to effectively detect the stress concentration of oil and gas pipelines, a stress concentration detection technology of unsaturated local magnetization pipeline is proposed. This paper introduces the theoretical basis of local pipeline stress concentration detection, establishes a two-dimensional finite element model of pipeline stress concentration transient force-magnetic coupling, and analyzes the influence of excitation source position, sensor lift-off value, and stress concentration value on the response signal. The simulation results show that the corresponding signal Bx of the stress concentration changes more obviously than By and the signal is regular, Bx has a good two-stage linear positive correlation with the stress concentration value. The above research provides technical support for the development of pipeline on-line stress concentration detection probe.

Leading-edge erosion of wind turbines is caused by particles in wind. Impacts at a high velocity damage the blades severely and lower the aerodynamic efficiency. The aim of this paper is to estimate the flow rate hitting on the leading edge of the airfoil NACA4412, which forms the tip of a wind turbine blade, with the geometry referred to NREL offshore 5-MW baseline wind turbine. The methodology is to first compute the coordinates of the points on the boundary of the airfoil that is defined to be the leading edge, then with trigonometry relationships of the airfoil, the length that is passed through by wind can be found. Finally, relating them together, a differential equation is established. It reveals how the angle of attack and flow rate through the leading edge are correlated. With graphs plotted, the equation states that changing the angle of attack from 6 to 7 has 6.2% less erosion while Cl/Cd is dropped by 4.6% only. Hence, for situations where leading edge erosion and aerodynamic efficiency are considered equally important, it is better to vary the angle of attack to 7 degrees rather than the optimal 6 degrees.

Abnormal vibration may occur in the pipeline of cooling and lubrication system of synchronous condenser during operation. In order to solve this problem, a priori analysis method for abnormal vibration of synchronous condenser piping system is proposed in this paper. This method mainly includes three parts :(1) the modal analysis of the whole pipeline system is carried out to find the pipeline with the most dangerous abnormal vibration; (2) Analyze the cause of abnormal vibration of the hazardous pipeline; (3) According to the analysis results of vibration causes, the field measurement is carried out, the modal analysis is verified, and then the cause and location of abnormal vibration of the whole pipeline system are determined. The results of case analysis show that this scheme can quickly and accurately find out the cause and location of abnormal vibration of the synchronous condenser pipeline system, improve detection efficiency and save cost. At the same time, the natural frequency of vibration obtained by modal analysis can provide a theoretical basis for the design and transformation of the synchronous condenser pipe system.

Based on the basic structure and working principle of vertical scraper discharge centrifuge and combined with the actual use, this paper puts forward the main influencing factors of bell-shaped cover wear, studies the wear characteristics of materials on bell-shaped cover, analyzes its wear mechanism, and determines the easily worn parts. Taking the bell-shaped bell-shaped cover of the LLL1200 vertical scraper discharge centrifuge as the research object, the speed and angle of materials eroding the bell-shaped cover at each position are calculated through the analysis of the movement track and force of solid materials in the centrifuge. The erosion and wear speed of materials on the outer end of the rib plate side is the maximum, 23.06 m/s, the speed on the inner wall of the coal retaining ring is slightly lower, 13.87 m/s, and the speed on the upper surface of the rib plate is the minimum, 0.53~ 0.69 m/s. In addition, two methods to prolong the service life of the bell-shaped cover are proposed. The industrial application shows that inlaying alumina wear-resistant ceramics on the bell-shaped cover is the most effective and simple method.

The tandem cold rolling process is continuous production, and it is desired to achieve a stable operation process, the incoming materials need to be welded in the length direction before cold rolling. Usually the head and tail of the incoming material have a thickness dimension positive deviation, and there are two alignments in the thickness direction of the front and rear strip, so that different weld zone profiles can be formed. In this research, we built an FEA (finite element analysis) model of strip rolling with weld zone and relevant simulation conditions are designed to reveal the effect of alignment on the rolling process of the strip with weld zone. The risk of strip breaking between two alignment forms of the weld zone during the rolling process is further discussed and compared. It provides a reference for the setting of the alignment method of the laser welding machine in welding the strip in order to reduce the probability of weld zone breaking during the cold rolling process.

We analyzed the power flow of the vibration transmission of the F2 mill drive system coupled with complex beams using the substructure method. The system was divided into three cylindrical substructures, which were coupled to each other by three spring-dampers. The modal analysis of the substructures was conducted to describe their dynamic characteristics; subsequently, the substructure receiving function under free interface conditions was established. The dynamic characteristics of the transmission coupling system were calculated by synthesizing the force balance conditions and geometric coordination at the coupling interface. The input energy and transmission energy in the system were effectively evaluated. The effects of spring-damper stiffness change, excitation position, and loss factor on the transmission of vibration power flow were studied and verified by field experiments. This study provides an effective theoretical basis for vibration suppression measures for hot tandem rolling mills.

In this paper, the failure mechanism of the piston in the pneumatic down the hole (DTH) impactor has been studied. Failed piston microstructure has been analyzed using the light optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Impact toughness test and the Rockwell hardness test were conducted. Results showed the following: a) The carburizing layer of IQCT failed piston is mainly composed of acicular martensite and lower bainite after the carburizing-tempering-isothermal quenching-cryogenic treatment-tempering (IQCT), and there are collapses on the impact side and outer surface of the piston, mainly fatigue failure. b) IQT failed piston samples are subject to carburizing-tempering-isothermal quenching-tempering treatment (IQT). The carburized layer is mainly composed of high-carbon martensite, carbide and retained austenite. The transition layer is still composed of lower bainite and acicular martensite, but the volume fraction of lower bainite increases significantly and the core is mainly composed of lower bainite. It has the best impact toughness, up to 61.5 J/cm2, which is mainly fatigue failure. c) OQT failed piston sample is subject to carburizing-tempering-oil quenching-tempering (OQT). The carburized layer is mainly composed of acicular martensite, the transition layer is composed of acicular martensite (AM) and lath martensite (LM), and the core is mainly composed of LM. The impact toughness of the sample is the worst. Therefore, fatigue fracture failure is caused.
