摘要The deformation and failure of coal walls in front of a working face cause significant difficulties during mining operations.This study reveals the nonuniform distribution of bearing pressure in front of coal walls based on in situ monitoring data and numerical simulation.Therefore,an eccentric compression mechanical model was established to study the deformation and failure characteristics of a coal wall.The slenderness ratio of the compression bar is introduced to define coal walls.The results showed that instability failure occurs when λ>λc and material failure occurs when λ≤λc.The instability failure-type coal wall spalling was related to the mining height,eccentricity of roof pressure,the horizontal force,and the reaction moment of the floor.The material failure-type coal wall spalling was related to the cohesion,the internal friction angle of the coal,the upper pressure,and the horizontal force of coal walls.Unstable and destructive coal wall peeling usually occurs at a height of 0.5–0.6 times the mining height,while material damage to coal wall peeling is determined to occur within the range of 0.4-0.6 times the mining depth.The findings contribute to the understanding of the deformation and failure of coal walls.

摘要Excavation-induced retaining wall deflection(RWD)significantly influences the safety of surrounding built environment.To predict the three-dimensional RWD in heterogeneous strata,a new partial differential equation(PDE)is derived in this study,and two prediction models are proposed,i.e.the physics-informed neural network(PINN)model and the data-driven PINN model.As a physical constraint,the new PDE is crucial to the loss functions of these models.Then,the validity of the models is verified and analysed using a subway deep-foundation pit.The results show that the training times of both models are controlled within 900 s,which is a significant reduction compared to that of the conventional numerical model.In addition,the prediction accuracy of the data-driven PINN model is higher than that of the numerical model,while that of the PINN model is slightly lower than that of the numerical simulation.However,in contrast to the data-driven PINN model,the PINN model can identify irregular soil interfaces in heterogeneous strata to learn the deflection continuity conditions at irregular interfaces and realize RWD prediction in non-uniform distributed strata.In practical applications in foundation pit engineering,the selection of the PINN and data-driven PINN models can be conducted according to the in situ distribution conditions of the strata to enable the early prediction of potential RWD,thereby providing a reliable basis for the further optimisation of retaining structures design.

摘要Spherical and capsule-shaped surface tension tanks are widely used in satellite,spacecraft,and other fields due to their advantages of lightweight structure,high efficiency,and high reliability.With the advancement of space exploration,the demands for thinner walls,more complex structures,and uniform overall performance in the hemispherical shells of these tanks present significant challenges for hemispherical shell forming technique.A hemispherical shell with uniform wall thickness was prepared using the rapid direct-and-reverse superplastic forming method.Results reveal that the properties and microstructure of each section of the formed hemisphere shell are consistent with those of the initial plate,and the overall shell thickness is highly uniform.

摘要In this study,a Gaussian Process Regression(GPR)surrogate model coupled with a Bayesian optimization algorithm was employed for the single-objective design optimization of fan-shaped film cooling holes on a concave wall.Fan-shaped holes,commonly used in gas turbines and aerospace applications,flare toward the exit to form a protective cooling film over hot surfaces,enhancing thermal protection compared to cylindrical holes.An initial hole configuration was used to improve adiabatic cooling efficiency.Design variables included the hole injection angle,forward expansion angle,lateral expansion angle,and aperture ratio,while the objective function was the average adiabatic cooling efficiency of the concave wall surface.Optimization was performed at two representative blowing ratios,M=1.0 and M=1.5,using the GPR-based surrogate model to accelerate exploration,with the Bayesian algorithm identifying optimal configurations.Results indicate that the optimized fan-shaped holes increased cooling efficiency by 15.2%and 12.3%at low and high blowing ratios,respectively.Analysis of flow and thermal fields further revealed how the optimized geometry influenced coolant distribution and heat transfer,providing insight into the mechanisms driving the improved cooling performance.

摘要Cotton fiber provides an exceptional model system for studying plant cell differentiation,elongation,and cell wall biogenesis.Recent advances in genomics,single-cell transcriptomics,genome editing,and multi-omics approaches have dramatically expanded our understanding of the molecular networks governing cotton fiber development.This review synthesizes current knowledge on the transcriptional,hormonal,epigenetic,and metabolic regulation of fiber initiation,elongation,and secondary cell wall(SCW)formation.We highlight the central roles of key transcription factors families—including MYB,HD-ZIP,bHLH,and NAC—in coordinating fiber cell fate determination and morphogenesis.We further discuss how phytohormones such as auxin,gibberellins,brassinosteroids,and strigolactones interact to regulate fiber elongation and SCW deposition.Emerging evidence also indicates that epigenetic mechanisms,including chromatin accessibility and RNA methylation,contribute to the fine-tuning of stage-specific gene expression.Furthermore,we explore how cytoskeletal dynamics and lipid metabolism contribute to polarized cell growth.Finally,we assess the potential of CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing for cotton fiber improvement and propose future research directions aimed at bridging knowledge gaps between molecular mechanisms and agronomic traits.Despite these advances,several knowledge gaps remain,including the precise integration of hormonal hierarchies,the functional validation of predicted regulatory modules in polyploid cotton,and the translational feasibility of gene editing for fiber quality improvement under field conditions.

摘要An analytical model of a floating heaving box integrated with a vertical flexible porous membrane placed right next to the box applications to wave energy extraction and breakwater systems is developed under the reduced wave equation.The theoretical solutions for the heave radiating potential to the assigned physical model in the corresponding zones are attained by using the separation of variables approach along with the Fourier expansion.Applying the matching eigenfunction expansion technique and orthogonal conditions,the unknown coefficients that are involved in the radiated potentials are determined.The attained radiation potential allows the computation of hydrodynamic coefficients of the heaving buoy,Power Take-Off damping,and wave quantities.The accuracy of the analytical solution for the hydrodynamic coefficients is demonstrated for different oblique angles with varying numbers of terms in the series solution.The current analytical analysis findings are confirmed by existing published numerical boundary element method simulations.Several numerical results of the hydrodynamic coefficients,power capture,power take-off optimal damping,and transmission coefficients for numerous structural and physical aspects are conducted.It has been noted that the ideal power take-off damping increases as the angle of incidence rises,and the analysis suggests that the ability to capture waves is more effective in shallower waters compared to deeper ones.
摘要Wall-modeled large eddy simulation is a practical turbulence simulation approach that balances computational efficiency and accuracy for the shock wave/boundary layer interaction(SWBLI).Commonly used equilibrium wall stress models neglect the influences of the pressure gradient,which may lead to significant prediction errors in non-equilibrium flows.In this study,we develop a modeling framework for non-equilibrium wall stress models and establish a non-equilibrium wall stress model that incorporates pressure gradient,compressibility,and wall heat transfer effects.A priori analysis using high-fidelity data of the SWBLI reveals that the velocity profile at the reattachment point deviates from the velocity law considering pressure gradient,overpredicting the scale of the separation region.Therefore,we propose a novel separation indicator to improve the prediction accuracy of the non-equilibrium wall stress model in separation flows.The non-equilibrium model with this separation indicator is validated in the compressible turbulent boundary layer and SWBLI cases.All the results demonstrate that the present model indeed provides a more accurate wall shear stress and can capture the flow field accurately.

摘要Wall thickness deviation significantly diminishes the durability and efficiency of turbine blades.It primarily results from surface deformation and positional shifts of the ceramic core during casting,which disrupts core-shell alignment.A novel reverse adjustment method for ceramic core positions within turbine blades based on the measurement of a batch of blades was proposed in this work.Initially,the optimal position solution model for internal ceramic cores of turbine blades on the basis of industrial computed tomography(ICT)scanning was established.Subsequently,a reverse adjustment method was developed to optimize the position and orientation of ceramic cores within the blade interior.The proposed method was verified through casting experiments,revealing a reduction of 45.5%in the maximum wall thickness error of the adjusted blades compared to their initial condition.The wall thickness error at the leading and trailing edges of the blade is reduced to less than±0.15 mm,while the wall thickness error on the concave and convex surfaces is minimized to less than±0.2 mm,which essentially satisfies the prescribed wall thickness tolerance requirements.The process system for precise shape control of hollow turbine blade wall thickness is further refined,providing robust technical support for enhancing the conformity rate of hollow turbine blade wall thickness dimensions.

摘要Biomass structural materials can effectively address the issues of high energy consumption and environmental degradation brought by traditional engineering structural materials.However,natural structural materials often suffer from drawbacks such as low mechanical performance and flammability.Therefore,this study has developed an ultra-strong fire-resistant bamboo composite(UFBC).Natural bamboo(NB)was used as the raw material.After delignification treatment,bamboo fibers are grafted with epoxy groups through in-situ chemical bonding.Subsequently,polymer chains underwent in-situ chemical cross-linking within the bamboo fiber framework,combined with reinforcement from nano silica,resulting in strengthened cell walls.In addition,the softened and expanded cell walls can facilitate the deposition of phosphate and borate salt on the cell walls,forming an N-P-B flame-retardant system within the system.The tensile strength(463 MPa vs NB 112 MPa)and flexural strength(655 MPa vs NB 157 MPa)of UFBC increased fourfold,with a Limiting Oxygen Index(LOI)of 54.4%.Compared to similar bamboo-based composite materials,UFBC exhibits superior environmental friendliness and sustainability throughout its lifecycle,with all 18 environmental factors being optimized(up to a 92%reduction).This study provides an important reference for the application of high-performance biomass structural materials in construction and industry.

摘要The liquid-only transfer dividing wall column(LDWC)offers a promising path for industrializing dividing wall columns by simplifying vapor split control.However,their energy efficiency is insufficient due to the addition of heat at the bottom and its removal at the top.Therefore,developing an effective strategy to enhance the energy efficiency of the entire LDWC system is crucial.This work investigates the intensification of LDWC based on the column grand composite curve(CGCC)and thermodynamic analysis,proposing a novel intensification strategy to improve energy efficiency effectively.An optimization model with four blocks is developed to minimize the total annual cost(TAC)of the intensified LDWC.Energy,exergy,economic,and environmental analyses are used to evaluate its performance.Ternary mixtures with different easy separation indexes(ESI)are selected as illustrative examples.For mixtures with ESI≤1,the optimal configuration involves partial feed preheating,compressors and intermediate reboilers on both side sections,along with optimized operating pressure.This setup leads to significant reductions in total energy consumption,TAC,and gas emissions by 43.80%,28.08%,and 42.85%for ESI=1,and by 46.17%,29.06%,and 45.35%for ESI1,the best performance is achieved by implementing partial feed preheating and modifications only to the right section.This results in reductions of 21.64%in energy consumption,16.26%in TAC,and 21.51%in gas emissions when compared to CDS.In all cases,the optimal configurations show the lowest lost work and minimum work,indicating an improved thermodynamic performance.

摘要Manipulation of spin-wave polarization is fundamental for designing novel magnonic devices based on the polarization coding technique.Here,we demonstrate the generation of left-handed polarized spin waves(LPSWs)in a ferromagnetic domain wall and their polarization modulation through the combined effect of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction(DMI)and spin-polarized electric current.A phase diagram delineating the stability regions of left-and right-handed polarized spin waves(RPSWs)is constructed as a function of DMI strength and current density.Our results reveal a pronounced DMI-induced nonreciprocal damping effect,predominantly manifested in RPSWs while leaving LPSWs largely unaffected.This phenomenon enables effective filtering of RPSWs in one direction,allowing the realization of pure LPSW propagation as well as elliptically polarized spin waves with tunable eccentricity.Our work provides a viable method for controlling spin-wave polarization and nonreciprocal propagation in ferromagnetic systems.
