摘要In this work,incorporating the impact of grain boundary sliding,a theoretical analytical model has been proposed for assessing fracture toughness at different temperatures of particle reinforced metal matrix composites.The model can achieve prediction of fracture toughness in varying temperature conditions by utilizing the yield strength and Young’s modulus of the metal matrix at room temperature,along with readily accessible material parameters.And the predictions have achieved good consistency with the measurements of five composites obtained from other scholars’references.Furthermore,based on the established model,the impact of particle volume fraction and particle size on the fracture toughness of composites,as well as their evolution with temperature were studied within the applicable range of the proposed model.This research not only provides an effective and convenient tool for evaluating the fracture toughness of composites serving in different temperature environments,but also lays the foundation for the strengthening and toughening design of composites.
摘要Seismic time series forecasting remains challenging due to the nonlinearity,non-stationarity,and noise of earthquake data,and because deep learning models are sensitive to preprocessing and hyperparameter settings.Although recent studies have improved neural architectures and optimization techniques,preprocessing is often treated as a fixed or manually designed stage,with limited integration into model optimization.To address this,this paper proposes an integrated,data-driven modelling framework that combines guided preprocessing with systematic hyperparameter optimization for seismic prediction,specifically forecasting earthquake magnitude from seismic catalog time-series data,with experiments conducted on Canadian seismic records.The method uses a Large Language Model to guide data preparation and feature engineering,rather than fully automate them,and applies deep learning-based forecasting with the N-HITS architecture,optimized via metaheuristic-assisted feature selection and hyperparameter tuning.The Football Optimization Algorithm(FbOA),employed as a metaheuristic optimization strategy in this study,is evaluated and compared with several well-known optimizers under identical conditions.The results show significant performance gains,with FbOA achieving superior accuracy,robustness,and convergence compared to baseline and competing methods.Notably,error metrics are reduced(MSE 3.10×10-7,RMSE 5.57×103),with high performance indicators(r=0.982,R2=0.979,NSE=0.981,WI=0.985).These results highlight the value of integrating guided preprocessing with optimization and demonstrate a scalable framework for high-precision time-series prediction in geophysical and related domains.

摘要Automation and intelligence have become the primary trends in the design of investment casting processes.However,the design of gating and riser systems still lacks precise quantitative evaluation criteria.Numerical simulation plays a significant role in quantitatively evaluating current processes and making targeted improvements,but its limitations lie in the inability to dynamically reflect the formation outcomes of castings under varying process conditions,making real-time adjustments to gating and riser designs challenging.In this study,an automated design model for gating and riser systems based on integrated parametric 3D modeling-simulation framework is proposed,which enhances the flexibility and usability of evaluating the casting process by simulation.Firstly,geometric feature extraction technology is employed to obtain the geometric information of the target casting.Based on this information,an automated design framework for gating and riser systems is established,incorporating multiple structural parameters for real-time process control.Subsequently,the simulation results for various structural parameters are analyzed,and the influence of these parameters on casting formation is thoroughly investigated.Finally,the optimal design scheme is generated and validated through experimental verification.Simulation analysis and experimental results show that using a larger gate neck(24 mm in side length) and external risers promotes a more uniform temperature distribution and a more stable flow state,effectively eliminating shrinkage cavities and enhancing process yield by 15%.

摘要A high-speed on/off valve(HSV)is a core component of aerospace digital hydraulic systems,and its dynamic performance is crucial for system reliability.A multistage voltage control(MSVC)strategy that uses currentbased feedback can improve dynamic characteristics.However,setting the critical feedback parameters,including the pre-opening and pre-closing currents,for the MSVC strategy depends on an accurate mathematical model of the HSV,particularly its magnetic model.Existing magnetic models typically ignore the changes in the magnetic flux leakage of the working air gaps(WAGs)to simplify the model,leading to deviations in the electromagnetic force calculations and limiting the potential of the MSVC strategy.This study presents a refined magnetic model using an equivalent magnetic circuit method that incorporates variations in the flux leakage of WAGs.Effective magnetic flux coefficients are introduced to quantify flux leakage.The relationship between the effective flux coefficients and the thickness of the WAGs is revealed by finite element simulation.A high-precision semi-analytical magnetic model for the HSV was established.Based on this,a current-based feedback MSVC strategy is proposed to improve the HSV dynamics.The simulation and experimental results validate the proposed model and control strategy.The results indicate that the effective flux coefficients decrease nonlinearly with the thickness of the WAGs,following a cubic relationship.The proposed model closely aligns with experimental data,exhibiting maximum deviations of only 6.0%(3.6 N)for electromagnetic force and 2.9%(0.39 ms)for total response time.Furthermore,compared with the previous model,utilizing the proposed model allows more accurate feedback parameter settings for the MSVC strategy,significantly reducing opening delay time by 70.7%(0.52 ms).This study offers a practical approach for fine modeling and dynamic performance improvement of HSVs.

摘要Soil desiccation cracking significantly impacts the hydraulic and mechanical properties of soil.Although extensive research has been conducted on cracking under uniform conditions,the influence of non-uniform temperature fields remains poorly understood.This study combines laboratory experiments and discrete element method(DEM)simulations to investigate soil desiccation cracking under non-uniform temperature fields.Laboratory tests utilized a controlled heating setup to establish a temperature gradient,with digital image correlation(DIC)employed to analyze strain and displacement fields.DEM simulations incorporated a temperature-dependent evaporation model to capture the micromechanical behavior of soil particles under non-uniform thermal conditions.The results reveal that cracks initiate near the high-temperature region and propagate in a"fish-scale"pattern toward the low-temperature region,driven by differential evaporation and uneven shrinkage.A distinct dry/wet interface forms and migrates from the high-temperature to the low-temperature region as evaporation progresses.DEM simulations accurately reproduced the observed crack patterns,demonstrating the model's capability to capture the effects of non-uniform temperature fields on soil cracking.Furthermore,the simulations indicate that crack propagation is governed by the movement of tensile stress concentrations,which are more pronounced in high-temperature regions.This study highlights the critical role of temperature gradients in desiccation cracking,offering valuable insights for geotechnical engineering and enhancing predictive models under varying environmental conditions.

摘要With increasing awareness of myopia control,various preventive methods have been developed.In recent decades,a range of specialized spectacle lenses utilizing optical interventions has been manufactured and widely adopted for myopia management.However,the underlying optical mechanisms of these lenses remain unclear,and there is a lack of simulation methods for pre-manufacturing analysis.Meanwhile,the structures of these lenses are becoming increasingly complex,even incorporating an aspheric segment array on a curved base.To address these challenges,we have developed an efficient,accurate,and flexible modeling method for simulating such lenses,along with an experimental setup for validation.We provide deeper insights into the optical mechanisms of these lenses and establish a convenient design framework that facilitates the development of optimized lens structures.

摘要A Low-Altitude(LA)intelligent network with unmanned aerial vehicles is a key component of space-air-ground integrated communication networks.Moreover,the Ultra-Wideband(UWB)technique offers a promising solution of high-speed data transmission in the LA intelligent network due to its broad frequency spectrum.A deep understanding of UWB channels in LA scenarios is vital for design,optimization,and evaluation of reliable communication links.This paper proposes a novel LA UWB channel model,which comprehensively considers the impact of continuous frequency components within the band on the channel parameters and characteristics.On this basis,we present a detailed generation method of bandwidth-dependent channel parameters,i.e.,Path Loss(PL),K-factor,cluster-related parameters,and Doppler frequency.Furthermore,the phenomenon of channel hardening and Doppler companding with respect to the ultra-wide bandwidth are analyzed.Finally,a UWB channel sounder is developed and applied to conduct lowaltitude channel measurements in a 28 GHz campus scenario.The measured results such as PL,K-factor,and cluster numbers show good agreement with the proposed model,validating its accuracy and applicability.

摘要To address the modeling fragmentation and predictive deviation caused by the conventional"singlemechanism,weakly coupled,additive response"approach in formation damage research,this study proposes an integrated modeling framework for multi-mechanism coupling throughout the entire drilling and completion process.Five dominant damage mechanisms are unified into a multi-physics formulation featuring a dual solid–liquid module architecture and a shared-state coupling mechanism.A structural-state integrated damage function(SSIDF)is introduced to establish a continuous mapping from microscopic mechanism evolution to macroscopic permeability degradation.A feedback network encompassing scaling,clay swelling,and water blocking is further developed,achieving bidirectional dynamic coupling among reaction kinetics,interfacial transport,and saturation fields,and representing one of the most systematic coupling schemes currently known.The model is solved via a space-time multi-scale optimization strategy,ensuring strong numerical stability and scalability.Field validation demonstrates a prediction accuracy of 98.6%,representing an improvement of over 8%compared to traditional additive models.The model is particularly applicable to unconventional reservoirs such as deepwater formations,where multi-mechanism damage evolves rapidly and conventional additive models fail to capture dynamic coupling behavior.

摘要Through appropriate thermo-mechanical stimulation,shape memory polymers(SMPs)can exhibit autonomous shape-morphing capabilities,which are referred to as entropic elastic(EE)or reversible plastic(RP)intelligent responses.Currently,few studies in the literature address unified constitutive modeling for these two types of intelligent responses,and thermodynamic consistency is lacking.Here,we develop a unified thermodynamically consistent constitutive model that captures hyperelastic-viscoelastic and elasto-viscoplastic couplings,thereby reproducing both the EE and RP intelligent responses.Through verification against experimental data and results from subsequent mechanistic and parametric studies,the constitutive model can not only integrate the theoretical representations of these two phenomena into a mathematical framework,but also reveal the consistencies and differences between the two types of intelligent responses.
