Hence the shrinkage stress arises and the jointing strength is reduced during the brazing of high-voltage vacuum interrupters (HVVIs). The solder bound contour was gained by solved energy bound equation. The finite element model of weld beads was established with Surface Evolver software. Then the stress in two different cooling techniques ( natural cooling and force cooling) was calculated with ANSYS. Comparing the stress, a better cooling technique was selected for HVVIs. Its cooling time is shortened by 3 hours while the jointing stress doesn' t increase and the tensile strength of ceramic to metal seal is not decreased. The stress-rupture tests have validated the calculated results. More important, a method is found, by which the brazing technique could be improved in advance instead of blind experiments.展开更多

摘要The variation in pile types can to some extent reduce frost jacking displacement of pile foundations in seasonal frost regions,yet further research is needed on the anti-jacking-up performance of different pile types under freeze-thaw cycles.This study conducted freeze-thaw cycle model tests under open-system conditions based on the proposed design concept of bamboo joint conical piles,analyzing variations in test fill temperature,moisture content,surface displacement,and pile-top displacement.The main findings are:(1)Pile type variation significantly affects pile foundation frost jacking,with bamboo joint conical piles demonstrating superior anti-jacking-up performance compared to straight piles and inferior performance to 9°conical piles.Moreover,the anti-jacking-up performance of bamboo joint conical piles follows a pattern of initial enhancement followed by attenuation with increasing cone angle,where a 7°cone angle provides optimal anti-jacking-up performance.(2)The moisture content of the soil fill increases with the number of freeze-thaw cycles in an open system environment,with the rate of increase decreasing over time,while the initial frozen core volume within the fill material tends to increase during the thawing phase.(3)The mechanisms underlying the frost heave and settlement of the fill surface and the frost jacking displacement at the pile top were clarified.The frost heave and settlement of the fill surface result from volume changes in the frozen soil due to the water-ice phase transition and the compaction effect on unfrozen soil.The thermal melting evolution of the frozen core in the fill material is the key factor determining the cumulative displacement at the pile top.(4)Differences in the thermophysical properties between the pile foundation and the fill material induce the migration of free water toward the vicinity of the pile,where the higher moisture content of the fill material is detrimental to the mitigation of frost jacking damage to the pile foundation.These findings provide a foundation for further elucidation of the frost jacking mechanism of bamboo joint conical piles in seasonally frozen regions under freeze-thaw cycles.

摘要To address the issues of poor adaptability in resource allocation and low multi-agent cooperation efficiency in Joint Radar and Communication(JRC)systems under dynamic environments,an intelligent optimization framework integrating Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)and Graph Neural Network(GNN)is proposed.This framework models resource allocation as a Partially Observable Markov Game(POMG),designs a weighted reward function to balance radar and communication efficiencies,adopts the Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization(MAPPO)framework,and integrates Graph Convolutional Networks(GCN)and Graph Sample and Aggregate(Graph-SAGE)to optimize information interaction.Simulations show that,compared with traditional methods and pure DRL methods,the proposed framework achieves improvements in performance metrics such as communication success rate,Average Age of Information(AoI),and policy convergence speed,effectively enabling resource management in complex environments.Moreover,the proposed GNN-DRL-based intelligent optimization framework obtains significantly better performance for resource management in multi-agent JRC systems than traditional methods and pure DRL methods.
摘要Gait asymmetries after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(ACLR)may lead to radiographic knee osteoarthritis(OA)and secondary injury.This study aimed to investigate three-dimensional(3D)lower limb joint kinetics using a multi-body dynamic analysis method based on a subject-specific musculoskeletal model during level walking 2 years after ACLR.A total of 23 patients(2 females and 21 males)2 years after ACLR were selected and underwent gait testing.3D motion joint reaction forces and the internal moments of the hip,knee,and ankle joints for the stance phase of each gait cycle were calculated by a musculoskeletal multibody dynamics model.In the hip and ankle joints,the peak of the first anteroposterior forces on the affected side were significantly smaller compared to the non-affected side(both p=0.04).The abduction(peak2:p=0.01)and the internal rotation moment(peak1:p=0.02;peak2:p=0.01)of the affected knee were significantly smaller than the non-affected side,but both of them did not reach the Minimal clinically important difference.The external rotation moment of the affected ankle moments was greater than the affected side(p<0.01).Two years after ACLR,there was no clinically significant kinetic abnormality in the affected knee joint,the kinetics of the hip and ankle joint were still abnormal,which may lead to the development of OA and secondary injury.Gait retraining should be used to improve the kinetics of the hip,knee,and ankle after ACLR.

摘要The dynamic evolution of fracture permeability presents a critical scientific challenge in rock masses.Understanding the mechanisms of rock mass permeability evolution is vital for engineering project design and operations.By integrating the discrete element method(DEM)with the finite element method(FEM),a numerical simulation framework for shear seepage in rough fractured shale has been developed to investigate the dynamic mechanisms of permeability evolution under varying confining pressures and during the shearing process.Numerical simulations were conducted on rough fractured samples under effective confining pressures ranging from 5 MPa to 20 MPa to monitor the aperture and permeability evolution of the fracture.The results of the numerical simulation are consistent with the experimental observations,indicating that both the shearing process and confining pressure significantly influence permeability.Moreover,the magnitude of the confining pressure is a crucial factor influencing the trend in permeability changes.Under a confining pressure of 5 MPa,fracture permeability initially increases significantly but decreases post-shearing.In contrast,a continuous decrease in fracture permeability is observed when the confining pressure exceeds 10 MPa.The results of the shear numerical simulation indicate that the confining pressure restricts fracture dilation during shearing,promotes the generation of rock debris,and decreases both the permeability and transmissivity of the fracture.The wear results obtained from numerical simulations are consistent with the experimental patterns and correlate with the joint roughness coefficient(JRC).This study proposed an effective numerical simulation method to reveal the evolution mechanism of fracture flow capacity,taking into account the wear of the fracture surface in shear simulations and the initial stress state of the rock in seepage simulations.This research explains the permeability evolution mechanism of fractured shale from a microscopic perspective,and the proposed numerical simulation method for shear seepage provides a powerful means to uncover the dynamic evolution mechanisms governing fracture permeability.

摘要Pain is the most common symptom of temporomandibular joint(TMJ)disorders,which present significant clinical challenges due to their complexity and limited treatment options.Our previous study demonstrates that gut microbiome-derived butyrate is critical for the modulation of TMJ pain.In this study,we investigated its underlying mechanisms,and we found that oral administration of tributyrin,a prodrug of butyrate,not only significantly alleviated TMJ pain but also reversed the reduction in histone acetylation in the spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis(Sp5C)under the TMJ pain condition.Using single-cell multi-omics sequencing,we profiled gene expression and chromatin accessibility in the Sp5C cells at the single-cell resolution.Bioinformatics analysis revealed that TMJ pain disrupted both the expression and chromatin accessibility of Nop14,Matk,Idh3b,Ndst2,and Tomm6 across four cell types in the Sp5C,and these alterations were reversed by tributyrin treatment.Specifically,Nop14 exhibited increased chromatin accessibility at its promoter region under TMJ pain condition,and knockdown of Nop14 in the Sp5C restored histone acetylation and alleviated TMJ pain.Together,our findings reveal cell-type-specific gene regulation that underlies butyrate-mediated epigenetic regulation of TMJ pain,which suggesting that targeting gut microbiome metabolites could develop a non-opioid novel therapy for TMJ disorders.

摘要Condylar hyperplasia(CH),characterized by progressive facial deviation,occlusion disorders,and temporomandibular joint dysfunction,often requires combined temporomandibular joint(TMJ)-orthognathic interventions to reconstruct joint and occlusal functions as well as rebuilding harmonious facial expressions.Managing the dentomaxillofacial deformities secondary to CH involves hyperplastic condylar resection,orthognathic surgery,facial contour surgery and orthodontic treatment.Based on the activity of condylar hypertrophy,the severity of dentomaxillofacial deformity and malocclusion,an individualized treatment plan should be formulated to reconstruct joint functions,correct deformities and recover occlusal relationships.This expert consensus,informed by the latest clinical research and practical experience,addresses clinical considerations for surgical treatment strategies for patients with different CH types,delineating indications,objectives,procedures,and principles with the aim of providing clear and practical guidance for clinical practitioners.

摘要Research on the modeling of bolted connection structures primarily centers on the characterization of the connection interface.Accurate equivalent modeling of the connection interface is crucial for the effective modeling of bolted connection structures.This article considers the misalignment between the bolt plane and the beam plane,and establishes a modified joint element representing the bolted connection by using the seriesstiffness method.The contact stiffness in this modified joint element are identified using a genetic algorithm with an “emperor selection” strategy.The bolted connection beam model is achieved by refining the Euler-Bernoulli beam model through the incorporation of a modified joint element.The maximum error between the model calculation results and experimental results for each order of natural frequency is 2.39%.This demonstrates the feasibility of accurately characterizing the bolted connection beam through the utilization of the modified joint element for equivalent modeling.This research proposes a modeling method for bolted connection beams that accounts for the misalignment between the bolt plane and the beam plane,significantly enhancing modeling accuracy.

摘要Titanium alloy drill pipes exhibit promising potential for ultra-deep well drilling due to their high specific strength and superior corrosion resistance.However,the engagement surfaces of the pin and box joints feature distinct material stiffness and surface roughness,which influence both the load bearing characteristics and sealing performance.This study establishes a 3D elastoplastic finite element model for steel-titanium heterogeneous drill pipe joints and analyzes their stress distribution under complex loading conditions.Furthermore,a sealing performance evaluation model based on microscopic leakage mechanisms is proposed,and the sealing performance of single shoulder and double shoulder drill pipe joints is comparatively analyzed.The results indicate that,compared to the NC50single-shoulder joint,the DS50 double-shoulder joint exhibits a 12.8%improvement in sealing performa nce under an axial tension of 2500 kN,and a 27.6%improvement under combined loading of 2500 kN axial tension and 8 kN·m bending moment.The synergistic action of the primary and secondary shoulders enhances the sealing stability of the drill pipe joint.

摘要When conducting simulations of jointed rock mass tunnels,the conventional Numerical Manifold Method(NMM)relies on contact algorithms entailing intricate contact detection and open-close iteration processes,thereby leading to restricted computational efficiency.To overcome this constraint,this study puts forward a Joint Element-based Numerical Manifold Method(JE-NMM),which aims to improve the existing situation.The method replaces traditional contact algorithms with joint elements characterized by cohesive constitutive models and incorporates a Newton–Raphson iterative convergence strategy,thus establishing a static analysis framework that is suitable for initially closed joint systems.Results from numerical benchmark tests demonstrate that the new method attains approximately 20-fold higher computational efficiency compared to the classical NMM while preserving a high degree of consistency with the results of physical model test results in stability analysis of jointed tunnel.Findings from engineering application studies show that a locally optimized support scheme,by precisely identifying instability zones,can achieve reinforcement effects comparable to full-face bolting while significantly decreasing the number of bolts used.This approach effectively overcomes the efficiency-related constraints imposed by traditional contact algorithms,providing a novel numerical tool for stability analysis and support optimization in jointed rock tunnels.

摘要Fretting fatigue in bolted joints within aero-engine fan and compressor structures,characterized by multi-layered,thin-walled components and high preload,poses a significant structural safety challenge.This study investigates fretting fatigue in a bolted joint configuration simulating compressor axis contact with sealing disk ends,analyzing hysteresis loops,fretting scars,and fracture surfaces.Numerical simulation,incorporating a UMESHMOTION subroutine,and a critical plane approach utilizing the Smith-Watson-Thorpe parameter and Miner’s law,alongside wear morphology simulation,were employed to evaluate fretting fatigue life.Results revealed a non-monotonic relationship between surface quality and fretting fatigue life,demonstrating an initial life decrease followed by an increase,primarily due to a transition from partial to gross slip.The study highlights the significant impact of fretting on the life prediction of aero-engine bolted joints,demonstrating that improved surface quality does not always guarantee enhanced fatigue performance.The accuracy of the life prediction approach was validated through experimental correlation with wear-aware simulation results.

摘要The interaction of high-intensity stress waves with fluid-filledrock joints is pivotal in seismic hazard assessment,hydrocarbon recovery,geological CO2 storage,geothermal energy extraction,and wastewater disposal,yet remains insufficientlyunderstood.This study investigates the dynamic mechanical response(elastic modulus and initial joint stiffness)and wave propagation behavior(transmission and reflectioncoefficientsand energy attenuation)of single fluid-filledrock joints subjected to the normal incidence of high-intensity stress waves.Dynamic compression experiments were performed using a split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)system combined with high-speed photography on individual fluid-filledrock joints with varying thickness,initial contact area,and water content.Results show that thinner joints,larger contact areas,and higher water contents yield greater dynamic elastic modulus and initial joint stiffness.Increasing stiffness consistently enhances wave transmission and suppresses wave reflection,independent of joint geometry or water saturation.Wave attenuation is strongly dependent on stiffness at low water contents,but this effect diminishes as the water content increases.High-speed imaging further reveals that the observed wave signatures arise from coupled mechanisms of joint stiffening and wave-induced fluidflow(WIFF).Energy partitioning derived from high-speed imaging data reveals the influenceof joint geometry on fluidflow-driven dissipation during stress wave propagation.This study advances the fundamental understanding of high-intensity stress waves–fluid-filledrock joints interactions,providing valuable insights for theoretical development and practical applications across many geophysical and geomechanical fields.

摘要The negative Poisson’s ratio(NPR)bolt is an innovative support element distinguished by its high strength,elongation,and a slightly negative Poisson’s ratio.Unlike conventional prestressed(PR)bolts with a positive Poisson’s ratio,the NPR bolt exhibits a quasi-ideal plastic response without a prominent yield platform,enabling it to sustain high prestress with a substantial safety margin,which is particularly advantageous for jointed rock masses.However,investigations into the shear resistance mechanisms of NPR bolts under varying prestress levels remain limited.This study conducted full-scale double shear tests to assess the shear strength,deformation behavior,energy absorption,and failure mechanisms of NPR bolts under different prestress conditions.To ensure a fair comparison with PR bolts,a prestress utilization coefficient(PUC)was introduced.The results reveal that at a PUC of 0.25,the NPR bolt achieved peak axial force,shear displacement,and peak shear force values that are 2.41,1.88,and 2.13 times greater than those of the PR bolt,respectively.Shear performance was optimized at a prestress level of 100 kN,with energy absorption reaching 47.1 kJ,which is 2.8 times that of the PR bolt.Furthermore,the necking ratio was significantly reduced,indicating more distributed plastic deformation and delayed failure.Field applications verified the superior performance,resulting in a 27.4%reduction in roof settlement and enhanced structural integrity.These findings confirm that NPR bolts possess excellent shear resistance,energy absorption,and deformation adaptability,and optimizing prestress significantly enhances their support performance,providing a strong basis for geotechnical engineering applications.

摘要The contact pressure of an asperity is the fundamental parameter for constructing a single asperity contact model and analyzing the contact load and contact stiffness of the mechanical joint surfaces.In response to the defects of existing models in contact pressure analysis that have non-monotonic changes or do not conform to physical laws,this paper proposes a novel nonlinear contact model that can achieve continuous monotonic changes in contact pressure in accordance with physical laws.This model considers the continuous deformation of the asperity after load application,and can describe three deformation states:elastic,elastic-plastic,and plastic during the loading process.For the elastic and plastic deformation stages,this paper characterizes them using the classic Hertz elastic contact theory and the complete plastic contact theory.For the elastic-plastic deformation stage,the contact pressure is characterized using an empirical pressure function,and expressions for other contact parameters are derived.Furthermore,based on the principle of probability and statistics,the solution expression for the contact parameters of the rough interface is obtained,and a novel rough interface contact model is established.By comparing with existing experimental and simulation results,it is found that:1)The model in this paper achieves monotonic and continuous changes in contact pressure during the contact process of the asperity,while complying with physical laws;2)The new model is in good agreement with experimental and simulation results,verifying the universal effectiveness and correctness of the proposed model in solving the contact parameters of the rough interface;3)The new model has simplicity in expression and high computa-tional efficiency.

摘要Compared to the traditional cast-in-situ technique,the novel prefabricated underground structure(PUS)employs machinery excavation and assembly.Notably,the PUS assembly system undergoes multi-level force transmission through soil,structure,component,and joint interactions.This transmission mechanism remains inadequately understood,consequently posing frequent instability risks during PUS construction.Hereby,this study foremost addresses this problem for multi-level information modeling and planning for PUS under joint principal control.Three modules of numerical modeling,design theory and adaptive planning were constructed and integrated into the Soil-structure-component-joint Adaptive Planning Model(SAPM).Through a real-project application of SAPM,key insights are as follows:(1)SAPM achieves multi-level information adaptivity by planning the joint properties,which mitigates the soil-structure interaction effect of main and secondary structures by 18% and 63%,respectively.(2)Different joints and components may not achieve optimum solutions with uniform joint properties.Top,bottom and midslab joints achieve multi-level information adaptivity only when their respective joint stiffness factors are 0.90,0.61 and 0.65.(3)The use of semi-rigid joints in PUS has multiple advantages over the common cast-in-situ rigid joints.The semi-rigid scheme reduces ring assembly time and cost by approximately 40%and 20%,respectively,compared to hinged and rigid joint schemes.The research results provide a theoretical and instrumental basis for the safe construction of PUS in complex urban and geotechnical environments.
