However, the scaling process of elastic rings introduces complexities in multi-parameter geometric distortions, leading to a diminution in the predictive accuracy of the distorted similitude. To address this challenge, this study formulates a novel set of scaling laws, tailored to account for the intricate geometric distortions associated with elastic rings. The proposed scaling laws are formulated based on the intrinsic deformation characteristics of elastic rings, rather than the traditional systemic governing equations. Numerical and experimental cases are conducted to assess the efficacy and precision of the proposed scaling laws, and the obtained results are compared with those achieved by traditional methods. The outcomes demonstrate that the scaling laws put forth by this study significantly enhance the predictive capabilities for deformations of elastic rings.展开更多

Traditional methods often apply uniform deformation models, neglecting the biomechanical differences between rigid structures and soft tissues, which compromises registration accuracy, especially during significant bone displacements. Method To address this issue, we introduce RE-Reg, a rigid-elastic CT-CBCT image registration framework that jointly learns rigid bone motion and soft tissue deformation. RE-Reg incorporates a rigid alignment(RA) module to estimate global bone motion and an elastic deformation(ED) module to model soft tissue deformation, preserving bony structures through bone shape preservation(BSP) loss. Result Our comprehensive evaluation on publicly available datasets demonstrates that RE-Reg significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of registration accuracy and rigid bone structure preservation, achieving a 1.3% improvement in Dice similarity coefficient(DSC) and a 23% reduction in rigid bone deformation(%Δvol) compared with the best baseline. Conclusion This framework not only enhances anatomical fidelity but also ensures biomechanical plausibility and provides a valuable tool for image-guided orthopedic surgery.

摘要Carbonate reservoirs are vital energy storage spaces,including for oil,shale gas,geothermal,and hydrogen energy.Accurate prediction of reservoir characteristics such as permeability and saturated fluid types through noninvasive approaches is crucial for optimal storage capability.In this paper,we combine a linear Boolean model and a discrete Fourier transform approach to generate pore‐and fracturepore‐type carbonate rocks.Elastic wave velocity information is necessary to predict permeability in different rock geometry models.Permeability is calculated using the lattice Boltzmann method,and the elastic wave velocity is calculated using a finite element method based on a minimal energy approach.Saturated fluids that contain oil and gas were both considered.Our simulated results reveal that,for pore‐type carbonate,empirical formulas were proposed to estimate permeability through elastic data.However,in fracture‐pore carbonate rocks,the precision of the empirical formula is compromised due to the presence of significant conductive channels within the rock matrix.We also find that using S‐wave velocity and permeability relationships to distinguish oil and gas is better than using P‐wave velocity and permeability relationships under low‐porosity conditions.

摘要Uncertain parameters are widespread in engineering systems.This study investigates the modal analysis of a fluid-conveying pipe subjected to elastic supports with unknown-but-bound parameters.The governing equation for the elastically supported fluid-conveying pipe is transformed into ordinary differential equations using the Galerkin truncation method.The Chebyshev interval approach,integrated with the assumed mode method is then used to investigate the effects of uncertainties of support stiffness,fluid speed,and pipe length on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the pipe.Additionally,both symmetrical and asymmetrical support stiffnesses are discussed.The accuracy and effectiveness of the Chebyshev interval approach are verified through comparison with the Monte Carlo method.The results reveal that,for the same deviation coefficient,uncertainties in symmetrical support stiffness have a greater impact on the first four natural frequencies than those of the asymmetrical one.There may be significant differences in the sensitivity of natural frequencies and mode shapes of the same order to uncertain parameters.Notably,mode shapes susceptible to uncertain parameters exhibit wider fluctuation intervals near the elastic supports,requiring more attention.

摘要High-temperature rolling effectively weakens the texture of Mg sheets,but it leads to grain coarsening and high energy cost.This study introduces a low-temperature(100°C)rolling in dilute Mg-1Zn-1Sn-0.2Ca(ZTX110)alloy capable of achieving weakened texture.Zn/Sn/Ca additions promote the accumulation of high-energydislocations near high-density deformation twins and shear bands.This enhances the driving force for twinning and shear band-induced recrystallization in the subsequent annealing,thus substantially expanding randomlyoriented grains and weakening texture.During early annealing stage,initially segregated Zn atoms at twin boundaries migrate into the matrix mediated by residual dislocations,reducing solute drag and facilitating growth of randomly-oriented grains.Upon complete consumption of residual dislocations as recrystallization progresses,Zn atoms gradually re-segregate to grain boundaries of newly nucleated random grains,suppressing grain coarsening.These findings reveal a designed rolling regime enabling texture weakening of Mg sheets by activating profusedislocations and dynamic solute partitioning.
