First, the fractional Pfaff-Herglotz action and the fractional PfaffHerglotz principle are presented. Second, based on different definitions of fractional derivatives, four kinds of fractional Birkhoff’s equations in terms of the Herglotz variational principle are established. Further, the definition and criterion of Noether symmetry of the fractional Birkhoffian system in terms of the Herglotz variational problem are given. According to the relationship between the symmetry and the conserved quantities, the Noether’s theorems within four different fractional derivatives are derived, which can reduce to the Noether’s theorem of the Birkhoffian system in terms of the Herglotz variational principle under the classical conditions. As applications of the Noether’s t heorems of the fractional Birkhoffian system in terms of the Herglotz variational principle, an example is given at the end of this paper.展开更多

Using a conventional method,its measurable range is limited due to the low resolution of the current spectrometer embedded in the reflectometer.We present a simple method, using cubic spline interpolation to resample the spectrum with a high resolution,to extend the measurable transparent film thickness. A large measuring range up to 385 m in optical thickness is achieved with the commonly used system. The numerical calculation and experimental results demonstrate that using the FFT method combined with cubic spline interpolation resampling in reflectrometry, a simple,easy-to-operate, economic measuring system can be achieved with high measuring accuracy and replicability.展开更多

Traditional intrinsic materials, including metals and semiconductors, face challenges in simultaneously achieving initial metallic state and strain-induced insulating state, hindering the development of highly sensitive mechanical sensors. Here we report an ultrasensitive mechanical sensor based on a strain-induced tunable ordered array of metallic and insulating states in the single-crystal bronze-phase vanadium dioxide [VO2(B)] quantum material. It is shown that the initial metallic state in the VO2(B) flake can be tuned to the insulating state by applying a weak uniaxial tensile strain. Such a unique property gives rise to a record-high gauge factor of above 607970, surpassing previous values by an order of magnitude, with excellent linearity and mechanical resilience as well as durability. As a proof-of-concept application, we use our proposed mechanical sensor to demonstrate precise sensing of the micro piece, gentle airflows and water droplets. We attribute the superior performance of the sensor to the strain-induced continuous metal-insulator transition in the single-crystal VO2(B) flake, evidenced by experimental and simulation results. Our findings highlight the potential of exploiting correlated quantum materials for next-generation ultrasensitive flexible mechanical sensors, addressing critical limitations in traditional materials.展开更多

A 2D-axisymmetric numerical model considering heat transfer and laminar flow is es- tablished to describe the melting process. The simulation results indicate that material melts earlier at lower pressure (8.0 Pa) than at higher pressure (8.8x 104 Pa) in several milliseconds with the same laser fluence. The experimental results demonstrate that the melting time threshold at high laser fluence (above 1.89x 108 W/m2) is shorter for lower pressure (vacuum), which is consistent with the simulation. While the melting time threshold at low laser fluence (below 1.89x 108 W/m2) is shorter for higher pressure. The possible aspects which can affect the melting process in- clude the increased heat loss induced by the heat conduction between the metal surface and the ambient gas with the increased pressure, and the absorption variation of the coarse surface resulted from the chemical reaction.展开更多

By using of the Lyapunov stability theory and matrix theory, a criterion for stability of complete synchronization is deduced. Meanwhile, an estimate of the critical coupling strength is obtained to ensure achieving chaos synchronization. As an example application, a model of coupled Chua's circuits with linearly bidirectional coupling is studied to verify the validity of the criterion.展开更多

The designed structure incorporates periodic metal-insulator-metal waveguides to enhance the optical path length of light within the solar cells. The new design can result in broadband optical absorption enhancement not only for transverse magnetic (TM)-polarized light, but also for transverse electric (TE)-polarized light. No plasmonic modes can be excited in TE-polarization, but because of the coupling into the a-Si planar waveguide guiding modes and the diffraction of light by the bottom periodic structures into higher diffraction orders, the total absorption in the active region is also increased. The results from rigorous coupled wave analysis show that the overall optical absorption in the active layer can be greatly enhanced by up to 40%. The designed structures presented in this paper can be integrated with back contact technology to potentially produce high-efficiency thin-film solar cell devices.展开更多

By using a partition method, the system is divided into two parts, the local impact region and the region away from the impact. The two parts are connected by specific boundary conditions, and the system after partition is equivalent to the original system. According to the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic theory of multibody system, system's rigid-flexible coupling dynamic equations without impact are derived. A local impulse method for establishing the initial impact conditions is proposed. It satisfies the compatibility con- ditions for contact constraints and the actual physical situation of the impact process of flexible bodies. Based on the contact constraint method, system's impact dynamic equa- tions are derived in a differential-algebraic form. The contact/separation criterion and the algorithm are given. An impact dynamic simulation is given. The results show that system's dynamic behaviors including the energy, the deformations, the displacements, and the impact force during the impact process change dramatically. The impact makes great effects on the global dynamics of the system during and after impact.展开更多

The penetration of the rifle bullet into the gelatin was simulated by the nonlinear finite element method. The quantitative analysis of the changes in the ge- latin interaction with the rifle bullet were conducted by changing the bullet parameters, such as at- tack angle on gelatin, initial velocity, warhead' s tip and location of mass center of bullet. Results demonstrate that with the increase of the attack angle, instable moment of the bullet moves forward, the length of narrow wound channel shortens, and when penetration is completed diameters of tem- porary cavities increase, the gelatin energy and energy transmission ratio increases; With the in- crease of the impact velocity, instable moment of the bullet moves forward, the maximum forces acting on the gelatin and the gelatin energy increase remarkably ; the length of narrow wound channel shortens, diameters of temporary cavities increase when penetration is completed, the gelatin energy and energy transmission ratio increase; The warhead' s tip and location of mass center have a influ- ence on the instable moment of the bullet and length of the narrow wound channel. The instable mo- ment delays and narrow wound channel increases when the warhead's tip flattens. The instable mo- ment moves forward a little and the narrow wound channel shortens a little when location of mass center moves back.展开更多

摘要This study reports the investigation of the thermomechanical behavior of aluminum alloys(AI-1060,A1-6061,and A1-7075)under the combined action of tensile loading and laser irradiations.The continuous wave ytterbium fiber laser(wavelength 1080 nm)was employed as the irradiation source,while tensile loading was provided by the tensile testing machine.The effects of various pre-loading and laser power densities on the failure time,temperature distribution,and the deformation behavior of aluminum alloys are analyzed.The experimental results represent the significant reduction in failure time for higher laser power densities and for high preloading values,which implies that preloading may contribute a significant role in the failure of the material at elevated temperature.Fracture on a microscopic scale was predominantly ductile comprising micro-void nucleation,growth,and coalescence.The AI-1060 specimens behaved plastically to some extent,while A1-6061 and A1-7075 specimens experienced catastrophic failure.The reason and characterization of ma-terial failure by tensile and laser loading are explored in detail.A comparative behavior of under-tested materials is also investigated.This work suggests that studies considering only combined loading are not enough to fully understand the mechanical behavior of under-tested materials.For complete characterization,one should consider the effect of heating as well as loading rate and the corresponding involved processes with the help of thermomechanical coupling and the thermal elastic-plastic theory.

摘要We design an effective light trapping scheme through engineering metallic gratings and one-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals(PhCs)to increase the optical path length of light within the solar cells.This incorporation can result in broadband optical absorption enhancement not only for transverse magnetic polarized light but also for transverse-electric polarization.Even when no plasmonic mode can be excited,due to the high reflection of the PhCs,the absorption in the active region can still be enhanced.Rigorous coupled wave analysis results demonstrate that such a hybrid structure boosts the overall cell performance by increasing the light trapping capabilities and is especially effective at the silicon band edge.This kind of design can be used to increase the optical absorption over a wide spectral range and is relatively independent of the angle of incidence.

摘要Electrification has great impacts on our modern society.To electrify future transportation,state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)are still not sufficient in multiple aspects including cost,energy density,lifespan,and safety.To this end,next-generation high-energy LIBs and beyond are highly regarded.In this regard,high-capacity anodes are undergoing intensive investigation,such as silicon,SnO2,and lithium metal.However,such anode materials are commonly experiencing large volume changes and related issues,which are reflected on mechanical degradation,capacity fading,low efficiency,and unsatisfactory lifetime.To address these challenges,many technical strategies have been investigated.In the past decade,atomic layer deposition(ALD)has emerged as a new promising technique enabling atomic-scale surface modification and nanoscale design of high-capacity anodes for high performance.In this review,recent ALD studies on developing high-capacity anodes for LIBs and beyond are thoroughly summarized.In addition,ALD strategies and their effectiveness in pursing high-energy LIBs and beyond are discussed.Particularly,we highlighted the latest advances of ALD for addressing the notorious issues associated with Li metal anodes.It is expected that this work will promote the applications of ALD in new battery systems.

摘要Two-dimensional(2D)superconductors provide a powerful building block for engineering emergent quantum states shaped by reduced dimensionality,enhanced quantum fluctuations,and interfacial symmetry breaking.In van der Waals(vdW)heterostructures,atomically sharp and lattice-mismatch-free interfaces enable superconductivity to be deliberately coupled with magnetism,spin–orbit interaction,and band topology,allowing collective electronic orders to be combined and reconfigured in ways unattainable in bulk materials.This review summarizes recent advances in vdW heterostructures of 2D superconductors,focusing on superconductor/magnet(S/M),superconductoropological material(S/T),and superconductor/superconductor(S/S)junctions.We discuss the microscopic mechanisms underlying proximity effects and highlight how interfacial exchange fields,spin–orbit coupling,and twist-controlled tunneling give rise to unconventional pairing,long-range spin-triplet supercurrents,nonreciprocal Josephson transport,and topological superconductivity potentially hosting Majorana bound states.Beyond their fundamental significance,the ability to controllably generate topological and nonreciprocal superconducting states positions 2D superconductor heterostructures as promising building blocks for emerging quantum technologies,including ultra-sensitive quantum sensing,programmable superconducting logic,and energy-efficient quantum and neuromorphic computing architectures.Looking forward,advances in materials synthesis,interface engineering,and device integration are expected to further expand the scope and functionality of 2D superconductor heterostructures,reinforcing their role as a central platform for exploring and controlling emergent quantum phases.

摘要The interaction of continuous wave (CW) fiber laser with Ti-6A1-4V alloy is investigated numerically and experi- mentally at different laser fluence values and ambient pressures of N2 atmosphere to determine the melting time threshold of Ti-6A1-4V alloy.' A 2D-axisymmetric numerical model considering heat transfer and laminar flow is es- tablished to describe the melting process. The simulation results indicate that material melts earlier at lower pressure (8.0 Pa) than at higher pressure (8.8x 104 Pa) in several milliseconds with the same laser fluence. The experimental results demonstrate that the melting time threshold at high laser fluence (above 1.89x 108 W/m2) is shorter for lower pressure (vacuum), which is consistent with the simulation. While the melting time threshold at low laser fluence (below 1.89x 108 W/m2) is shorter for higher pressure. The possible aspects which can affect the melting process in- clude the increased heat loss induced by the heat conduction between the metal surface and the ambient gas with the increased pressure, and the absorption variation of the coarse surface resulted from the chemical reaction.

摘要We investigate synchronization in an array network of nearest-neighbor coupled chaotic oscillators. By using of the Lyapunov stability theory and matrix theory, a criterion for stability of complete synchronization is deduced. Meanwhile, an estimate of the critical coupling strength is obtained to ensure achieving chaos synchronization. As an example application, a model of coupled Chua's circuits with linearly bidirectional coupling is studied to verify the validity of the criterion.

摘要To increase the absorption in a thin layer of absorbing material (amorphous silicon, a-Si), a light trapping design is presented. The designed structure incorporates periodic metal-insulator-metal waveguides to enhance the optical path length of light within the solar cells. The new design can result in broadband optical absorption enhancement not only for transverse magnetic (TM)-polarized light, but also for transverse electric (TE)-polarized light. No plasmonic modes can be excited in TE-polarization, but because of the coupling into the a-Si planar waveguide guiding modes and the diffraction of light by the bottom periodic structures into higher diffraction orders, the total absorption in the active region is also increased. The results from rigorous coupled wave analysis show that the overall optical absorption in the active layer can be greatly enhanced by up to 40%. The designed structures presented in this paper can be integrated with back contact technology to potentially produce high-efficiency thin-film solar cell devices.

摘要The impact dynamics of a flexible multibody system is investigated. By using a partition method, the system is divided into two parts, the local impact region and the region away from the impact. The two parts are connected by specific boundary conditions, and the system after partition is equivalent to the original system. According to the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic theory of multibody system, system's rigid-flexible coupling dynamic equations without impact are derived. A local impulse method for establishing the initial impact conditions is proposed. It satisfies the compatibility con- ditions for contact constraints and the actual physical situation of the impact process of flexible bodies. Based on the contact constraint method, system's impact dynamic equa- tions are derived in a differential-algebraic form. The contact/separation criterion and the algorithm are given. An impact dynamic simulation is given. The results show that system's dynamic behaviors including the energy, the deformations, the displacements, and the impact force during the impact process change dramatically. The impact makes great effects on the global dynamics of the system during and after impact.

摘要Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was developed to detect aluminum in nickel-based superalloys (K417, GH4033, DZ125L, З ∏742y) using a non-intensified, non-gated, low-cost detection system. The precision of LIBS depends strongly on the experimental conditions. The calibration curves of Al(I)394.4 nm and Al(I)396.2 nm under the optimum experimental parameters are presented. Finally the limit of detection (LOD) for aluminum is calculated from the experimental data, which is in the range of 0.09% to 0.1% by weight.

摘要The classic metallic Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar(SHPB)cannot capture the transmitted signal accurately when measuring soft biological tissue,because of the very low wave impedance and strength of this material.So the dynamic compressive response of porcine muscle has been investigated by using a modified SHPB.The forces on both ends of the sample measured using Polyvinylidene fluor(PVDF)transducers were applied to calculate the stress in the specimen instead of the strain gauge signal on the transmitted bar.Moreover,a circular cardboard disk pulse shaper was applied for generating a suitable incident pulse to achieve stress equilibrium and constant strain rates in the specimens.Then,the dynamic mechanical properties of porcine muscle parallel and perpendicular to the fiber directions were measured,and the stress equilibrium process during loading was analyzed,as well as the inertia-induced extra stress being corrected.Furthermore,quasi-static tests were conducted at two different strain rates to investigate the strain rate dependence using a universal material testing machine.The results show that the stress-strain curves are sensitive to strain rate in the two different loading directions.The compressive stress perpendicular to the fiber direction is stiffer than that parallel to the fiber direction.In addition,a strain rate-dependent constitutive model was developed based on the mechanical response of the muscle at different strain rates and fitted to the experimental data.The results show that the overall fit is good,and the constitutive model could describe the muscle's dynamic mechanical properties.
摘要To understand the effects of the rifle bullet parameters on the bullet-gelatin interaction quantitatively, a finite element model of bullet penetrating gelatin was set up and computational re- suits are compared with experimental ones. The penetration of the rifle bullet into the gelatin was simulated by the nonlinear finite element method. The quantitative analysis of the changes in the ge- latin interaction with the rifle bullet were conducted by changing the bullet parameters, such as at- tack angle on gelatin, initial velocity, warhead' s tip and location of mass center of bullet. Results demonstrate that with the increase of the attack angle, instable moment of the bullet moves forward, the length of narrow wound channel shortens, and when penetration is completed diameters of tem- porary cavities increase, the gelatin energy and energy transmission ratio increases; With the in- crease of the impact velocity, instable moment of the bullet moves forward, the maximum forces acting on the gelatin and the gelatin energy increase remarkably ; the length of narrow wound channel shortens, diameters of temporary cavities increase when penetration is completed, the gelatin energy and energy transmission ratio increase; The warhead' s tip and location of mass center have a influ- ence on the instable moment of the bullet and length of the narrow wound channel. The instable mo- ment delays and narrow wound channel increases when the warhead's tip flattens. The instable mo- ment moves forward a little and the narrow wound channel shortens a little when location of mass center moves back.
