Higher-order topological states, as emergent topological phases of matter, originating from condensed matter physics, have sparked a vibrant exploration of topological insulators. Their topologically protected multidimensional localized states are typically associated with nontrivial bulk band topology, and the significant impact of lattice geometry is unconsciously overlooked. Here, we construct coupled acoustic cavities on a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice to investigate the sensitivity of higher-order topological modes to the variations of edge contour. Fractional charge is utilized to accurately predict topological modes with distinct topological orders, in spite of the minimal bulk bandgaps inherent in the honeycomb lattice and bound states in the continuum. It is found that the presence and absence of the first-order and higher-order topological modes in the same topological phase are tightly linked to the sample boundaries, which can be demonstrated by both theoretical analysis and numerical calculation. Our study also discusses potential physical realization of geometry-dependent topological states across different platforms, providing inspiration for the prospective application of topological devices in acoustics.

In this work, we investigate the possibilities of performing charge and spin current rectifications using graphene nano-ribbon in the presence of Rashba spin–orbit (SO) interaction. More specifically, we explore the specific role of mechanical strain on these two different types of current rectifications. The system is simulated by a tight-binding framework, where all the results are worked out based on the standard Green's function formalism. In order to have current rectification, an asymmetry is required, which is incorporated through uncorrelated disorder among the constituent lattice points. From our extensive numerical analysis, we find that reasonably large charge and spin current rectifications can be obtained under strained conditions, and all the physical pictures are valid for a broad range of tight-binding parameters. The rectification properties are studied mostly for zigzag graphene nano-ribbons; however, an armchair ribbon is also taken into account for a clear comparison. Our work may provide a new direction of getting strain-controlled current rectifications in similar kinds of other physical systems as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The excitation and tuning of multiple resonances with narrow spectral width based on Brewster's effect is possible in an ultrathin dual-band terahertz absorber. The angular variation establishes a monotonic relation with the frequency of some generated resonances offering tunability. Moreover, burying a graphene ring resonator beneath the metallic ring splits the resonance for providing the triple narrow absorption windows. The electrical modulation offers the feature of independent tunability in the generated third absorption band. Thus, the frequency ratio of the upper to lower spectral absorption peak can be modulated by the electrically tunable Fermi energy of graphene. Engraving the graphene resonator also enhances the incident angle based tunability by affecting a greater number of Brewster generated resonance peaks. The narrow line shape of the triple band absorption can enable refractive index sensing and the detection of extraneous elements in localized analyte samples. The detection of imidacloprid pesticide in wheat flour is performed by the implemented sensor. The numerical analysis is done for the design and analysis of the absorber structures to report the above facts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Unitary Group Adaptation (UGA) offers a very compact and efficient spin adaptation strategy for any spin-free Hamiltonian in a many body framework. Our use of UGA in the context of state-specific (SS) Jeziorski–Monkhorst Ansatz based multireference coupled cluster (MRCC) theory obviates the non-commutativity between the spin-free cluster operators via a normal ordered exponential parametrization in the wave operator. A previous formulation of UGA-SSMRCC by us [R. Maitra, D. Sinha, and D. Mukherjee, J. Chem. Phys. 137, 024105 (2012)], using the same ansatz, employed certain sufficiency conditions to reach the final working equations, which cannot be improved systematically. In this article, we will present a more rigorous formulation that follows from an exact factorization of the unlinked terms of the Bloch equation, resulting in equations on which a hierarchy of approximations can be systematically performed on the emergent additional terms. This derivation was shown in our recent article [D. Chakravarti, S. Sen, and D. Mukherjee, Mol. Phys. 119, e1979676 (2021)] in the context of a single open shell CC formalism and was applied to spectroscopic energy differences where the contribution of the new terms was found to be of the order of ∼0.001 eV for ionization potential, electron affinity, and excitation energy. In the current work, we will present a comparison between the earlier and current formulations via both a theoretical analysis and a numerical demonstration of the dramatic effect of the additional terms brought in by the factorization on potential energy curves. The contribution of such terms was found to gain importance with an increase in the number of singly occupied active orbitals in the model space functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The kernel polynomial method (KPM) is a powerful numerical method for approximating spectral densities. Typical implementations of the KPM require an a prior estimate for an interval containing the support of the target spectral density, and while such estimates can be obtained by classical techniques, this incurs addition computational costs. We propose a spectrum adaptive KPM based on the Lanczos algorithm without reorthogonalization, which allows the selection of KPM parameters to be deferred to after the expensive computation is finished. Theoretical results from numerical analysis are given to justify the suitability of the Lanczos algorithm for our approach, even in finite precision arithmetic. While conceptually simple, the paradigm of decoupling computation from approximation has a number of practical and pedagogical benefits, which we highlight with numerical examples.

Lot splitting is one of the effective technologies of time-based strategy and has been widely studied in a variety of production environments. Nevertheless, the literature on its application in seru production has been highly scarce until now. Seru system is composed of simple equipment and multi-skilled workers, which can be quickly converted from the traditional assembly line to seru units. As an innovative production mode, seru production inevitably allows applying lot splitting in the real world. Therefore, a multi-objective model is studied for line–cell conversion with lot splitting, aiming at determining the trade-off among makespan, inter-seru system balancing, and intra-seru system balancing. Due to the proposed model's NP-hard nature, an improved NSGA-II was developed to solve it. Finally, extensive numerical simulations are conducted. Compared to no lot splitting, lot splitting is improved by 4.2% and 3.7% in terms of inter-seru system balancing and makespan respectively. The better efficiency and effectiveness of the improved NSGA-II are proved by comparisons with other state-of-the-art algorithms. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to ascertain the degree of contribution of the model parameters towards the value of objectives, which provides management implications to support the decision-making of seru production for the enterprise.

The evolution and control of the temperature field during the chemical foaming of epoxy resin are of paramount importance because the foam structure results from the competition of resin crosslinking and foaming, both of which are highly dependent on temperature distributions. Herein, the epoxy foams, consisting of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, glycidyl amine-type epoxy resin, and 4,4'-diamino diphenyl sulfone hardener, are prepared using azodicarbonamide and 4,4'-oxydibenzenesulfonyl hydrazide as a chemical foaming agent (CFA). Kinetic models for heat release and CFA decomposition are established using the auto-catalytic and n-th order models, respectively. By integrating the transient flow of resin during the foaming process, numerical simulations of the temperature field evolution within the self-expanding geometry are conducted to investigate the effects of foaming temperature, heat transfer coefficient, and mold diameter on spatial temperature distributions. A comparison of the kinetic parameters of epoxy curing and CFA decomposition at various foaming temperatures (433, 443, and 453 K) reveals that the acceleration of the curing rate is consistent with that of the decomposition rate as the foaming temperature increases, then the foam structure remains largely unchanged across different foaming temperatures. However, local overheating is unavoidable for the foams at 443 and 453 K. This study offers a method for optimizing the processing parameters in preparing epoxy foams. Highlights * Auto-catalytic model for predicting heat released rate is well established. * The decomposition kinetics of the chemical foaming agent is described by n-th model. * Nonisothermal simulation is implemented to study the self-expanded process of epoxy foam. * The foam structure is predicted by comparing the kinetic between the curing and expansion processes.

In this paper, we numerically study the influence of saturable absorber parameters, namely, modulation depth, recovery time, and saturation energy, on the performance of an ultrafast fiber laser that is mode-locked by a hybrid scheme of a saturation absorber (SA) and a nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR). Maps of mode-locked states related to intracavity wave-plates are created to evaluate the operation of hybrid mode-locking under different modulation depths of the SA. Along with the improvement of modulation depth of the SA, the mode-locked pulse results from a combination effect of the SA and NPR. The numerical analysis reveals that the SA parameters can significantly impact the pulse profile, peak power, and operation state. Moreover, they can also impact the selection of NPR mode-locked points, resulting in variation in stable single pulse output. A higher modulation depth can suppress the unstable multiple pulses' operation and convert them into harmonic mode-locked pulses. The obtained results indicate that the selection of appropriate SA parameters can effectively improve the output characteristics of hybrid mode-locked fiber lasers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research work successfully addresses the key issues related to the selection of optimal initial approximations depending on numerical parameters and available data in the context of reaction-diffusion. This approach significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring and analyzing the dynamics of the reaction-diffusion process. In this study, it was shown that for the successful analysis and solution of complex nonlinear problems, it is effective to use the nonlinear splitting method and the method of standard equations. These methods have proven to be reliable tools for studying nonlinear phenomena in various systems. As a result of this study, a nonlinear splitting algorithm was justified, which is used to solve equations describing multicomponent cross-diffusion systems of a biological population. This algorithm provides an important tool for numerical simulation and analysis of such systems, providing more accurate and efficient results. The study confirms the significance of nonlinear splitting and reference equation methods in the context of nonlinear problems, and also provides a practical solution in the form of an algorithm for studying multicomponent cross-diffusion systems in biological populations. These results have potential for application in various fields of science and engineering, where modeling and numerical work with nonlinear differential equations is important. In addition, software packages have been created to help automate the processes of visualizing the development of solutions in time and space. These innovative tools provide the ability to conveniently observe and analyze the evolution of processes in various fields of science and engineering where complex dynamic systems, such as biological populations and others, are important. This work advances the understanding and modeling of complex reaction-diffusion processes and has potential applications in various disciplines of science and technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Variation in discharge and water levels in rivers due to climate change effects such as temperature differentials and increased precipitation in the upstream and downstream areas of river-based structures might lead to impacts on the safety of such structures. Al-Hindiya barrage is currently one of the most important engineering projects in Iraq, and one of the concerns of engineers during the operation of dams such as this, is the potential for leakage under the hydraulic structures, which may result from poor geological conditions and changes in water levels: if the leakage rate increases under the origin, this will affect the safety of the structure. This project utilised measuring devices (Piezometers) to monitor the water pressure in the foundations of the barrage to verify its safety. The variation of the water levels of the Al-Hindiya barrage was thus assessed in terms of its impacts on the seepage ratio, with numerical analysis in Geo-Studio SEEP/W used to determine the amount of leakage occurring in the structure, based on comparing the readings derived from the program with field readings to ensure precise evaluation of the model. All data entered into the Geo-studio program were thus provided by the Al-Hindiya Dam Irrigation Project Department. The amount of leakage occurring under the structure was found to be permissible, and the safety of the structure was thus confirmed. This was attributed to the quality of the cut-off wall and its efficiency in dissipating leakage under the structure, which increased the safety factor against uplift pressure and seepage pressure. The analysis demonstrated that the cut-off wall works effectively to reduce the hydraulic gradient in the horizontal and vertical directions, which helps by increasing the factor of safety against uplift pressure to about 5, protecting the barrage's body. This ensures that the barrage is safe, the concrete structures are of high quality, and that no form of concrete damage should arise even after a long period of operation. The analysis further highlighted that the maximum design level (flood conditions) had a reduced factor of safety of 3, however, leading to a recommendation that the water level not be permitted to reach this extent in order to protect the barrage from harm.

A heat sink is a device that removes heat from electronic devices that consume electricity. This heat removal is required to meet the equipment's design requirements. In this paper, different heat sink geometries are designed and simulated using computational fluids dynamic software to compare the temperature distribution and thermal performance. The main objective is to investigate the effect of the fin arrangement, base plate thickness and type of heat sink material on the thermal performance of heat sinks using the Ansys FLUENT 2021. The heat sinks have been analyzed at different heat load supply of 60 W, 70 W and 80 W. Three different fins arrangement of rectangular plates, rectangular pins and separated short plates heat sink are compared of the thermal performance in this study. The effects of heat sink materials on thermal performance were also investigated numerically. In this research work, thermal resistance is the parameter that determines the thermal performance of the heat sinks. The findings revealed that the thermal resistance is lower for the copper rectangular plates heat sink with 5 mm base plate thickness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Replacement of soft clay soil technique is commonly utilized in the construction practices and engineers had proven that it may be one of the effective techniques. In addition, a number of researchers have already thought about the mechanisms of soil removal and replacement. The present research investigates efficiency of remove and replace approaches for the mitigations of the soft clays in the fact that analyses have been based upon the basic principles of stress-deformation. The main objective of the present work is to investigate the effectiveness of the replacement method. The finite element software PLAXIS was implemented in the present study in order to analyze the behavior of shallow footing. The present investigation considers the variation in replacement thickness, replacement width and the relative density of sand used in replacement. A total of 33 models represent two groups were performed. The first group consists of 16 models by using medium sand for soil replacement; the second group consists of 16 models by using dense sand for replacement of the soil both of 2 groups have been performed with various depth and width values of the replacement, besides one untreated soil model. Soil's bearing capacity that has been enhanced by the soil replacement was measured. It has been noticed that the capability of the replacement of the soft soil by the sandy soil for improvement of footing bearing capacity on the soil had shown a maximal improvement degree that has been accomplished in the case where soil has been treated through partially replacing it with the dimensions B soil replacement (B represents footing width) with an extension of (b=1.50-2.0) all the sides to a (1-2) B depth. The approach of the soil has a higher effectiveness in the improvement of bearing capacity when increasing replacement width in comparison to an increase of replacement depth. It has been found that bearing capacity of the footing is highly increased by increasing relative density of sand by compacting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study is concerned with the behavior of two convergent foundations resting on clay using three-dimensional plane strain finite element analysis. A Mohr-coulomb soil model was used to simulate soils using PLAXIS 3D V21, a finite element analysis software that perfectly simulates linear and plastic elastic behavior. The soil zone is divided into 10-node triangular points approach for calculating the mesh generation, with locally refined mesh near the foundations and very fine mesh near the domain boundaries. Differences in spacing between two foundations and new foundation depth are used to investigate their effects on settlement and tilt, the effect use skirted foundation as a new foundation. It was observed through numerical analysis that the interference affects the functions of the existing foundation and that the settlement and tilt decrease as the spacing between the two foundations increases. Also, increasing the depth of the new foundation leads to a decrease in the settling of the foundation and tilt. Also using a skirted foundation as a new foundation contributed in decrease risks of additional settlement and risk of tilt of existing foundation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The material properties have a significant impact on disc brake performance. Cast iron is a material commonly for brake discs in automobiles right now, owing to its low cost. However, due to the better performance, Aluminum is now being used for disc brakes of some high-end automobiles. Aluminum is lightweight, it has a strong strength to weight ratio, and it cools faster than cast iron. In this study, further research has been conducted by adding varying percentages of fly ash to aluminum metal matrix composite. Fly ash, the residue obtained from coal combustion, is abundant and cheap. It helps improve the properties of the material like wear and abrasion resistance, stiffness, and low thermal conductivity. The six samples with varying amounts of fly ash: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 17%, and 20% were manufactured using stir casting. Tests were undertaken to determine the mechanical properties of the samples and the disc brake was designed based on the test results. The objective of this paper is to perform numerical analysis on the designed brake disc of six samples of aluminum-fly ash metal matrix composite, including static structural analysis, modal analysis, dynamic analysis, wear analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and transient thermal analysis using the software.

The Discrete Taylor Transform and Inverse Transform (D-TTIT) in one dimension was introduced in [1] for the first time. Employing simple toy models, the present work extends the ideas in [1] to two- (2D) and three dimensions (3D). Thereby, it is demonstrated that properly sampled (composite) monomials and properly calculated weighted discrete higher-order (mixed) derivative operators are bi-orthogonal in Cartesian Coordinates. Despite the fact that the underlying mathematics in higher dimensions becomes increasingly elaborate, it remains algorithmically tractable, and more importantly, automatable. Interpreted locally, D-TTIT in 2D and 3D has the potential of evolving into a surgical tool in numerical analysis. A comprehensive coverage of D-TTIT will be presented in [2]. Future work will extend the technique by considering functions in curved coordinates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In today's quick-paced and fiercely competitive industry, engineering applications are assessed on accuracy and precision. In compliant mechanisms, beam deflection is employed to meet the growing need for precision motion. A sort of mechanism known as a "compliant mechanism" allows for enhanced precision without necessarily lowering accuracy because it is depend on the rigidity mobility and of a component. Molecular deformation and beam bending in the elastic zone are used to create motion. Precision scanning, microscopes, and biological scanners are common uses for compliant mechanisms. The current study includes numerical analysis of a compliant mechanism for linear motion in the XY direction found in biomedical scanners. By using various beam constraint positions and materials, performance of compliant mechanism is analyzed in this research work. The compliant mechanisms range of motion and movement in the XY direction are entirely attributable to the elastic deformation of the beam. Range of motion, stress, and stiffness values for various beam combinations are used to determine how well a compliant mechanism performs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The response of a nucleus to an electromagnetic probe is a key quantity to simulate photabsorption or photodeexcitation processes. For large calculations at the scale of the entire mass table, this response can be estimated by linear response theory. Thanks to the introduction of the finite-amplitude method (FAM), calculations are computationally efficient. In this paper, we investigate in more details the convergence of FAM calculations of the response function as a function of the parameters controlling the numerical implementation of the theory. We show that the response is much less sensitive to the details of the single-particle basis than, e.g., Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract The selection of materials for the protective coating of a crusher’s feed chute significantly influences the mean time between failures (MTBF) and operational costs associated with the mass production of sulfuric acid at MMG/Kinsevere. Neglecting the condition of the protective coating can pose a serious challenge to production efficiency and result in increased downtime. This study focuses on enhancing industrial productivity in Sulfuric Acid production with minimal maintenance. The investigation explores the quality and type of materials used for the protective coating of the feed chute in the mining industry, particularly at MMG/Kinsevere, utilizing Ansys Fluent and SOLIDWORKS Software for analysis. The paper proposes a Ceramic protective liner for the crusher feed chute due to its superior resistance to erosion compared to other liners. Different feed chute models, constructed with materials like halogenated butyl rubber, 316 stainless steel, and ceramic, underwent analysis. The evaluation of the potential impact on the mean time between failures (MTBF) for different materials used in a protective coating, considering the rate of erosion through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with ANSYS FLUENT software, is a central aspect of this study. The detailed modeling and simulation reveal that the ceramic material exhibits the most favorable protective coating characteristics, with an erosion rate density of 06.636753 kg/m2s, outperforming halogenated butyl rubber (3.326576 kg/m2s) and 316 stainless steel (2.186633 kg/m2s). The simulation yielded results corresponding to flow rates of 284.19 kg/s for the solid phase and 123.14 kg/s for the liquid phase.

Casson fluids containing carbon nanotubes of various lengths and radii on a moving permeable plate reduce friction and improve equipment efficiency. They improve plate flow dynamics to improve heat transfer, particularly in electronic cooling and heat exchangers. The core objective of this study is to investigate the heat transmission mechanism and identify the prerequisites for achieving high cooling speeds within a two-dimensional, stable, axisymmetric boundary layer. This study considers a sodium alginate-based nanofluid containing single/multi-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs/MWCNTs) and Casson nanofluid flow on a permeable moving plate with varying length, radius, and nonlinear thermal radiation effects. The plate has the capacity to move either parallel to or perpendicular to the free stream. The governing partial differential equations for the boundary layer, which are interconnected, are transformed into standard differential equations. These equations are then numerically solved using the Runge–Kutta fourth-order scheme incorporated in the shooting method. This research analyses and graphically displays the effects of factors including mass suction, nanoparticle volume fraction, Casson parameter, thermal radiation, and temperature ratio. Additionally, a comparison is made between the present result and the previous finding, which presented in a tabular format. The coefficient of skin friction decreases in correlation with an increase in Casson fluid parameters and Prandtl number. Heat transfer rate decreases with a variation in viscosity parameter, while it is increasing with an increase in Prandtl number. In addition, this study demonstrates that heat transfer rate for MWCNT is significantly higher than that of SWCNT nanoparticles. Thermal radiation and temperature ratio reduce the heat transfer rate, whereas nanoparticle volume fraction and Casson parameter enhance it over a shrinking surface.

The article presents a methodology for determining the hydraulic resistance multiplier, used for a rapid estimation of linear losses in pipes with non-circular cross-sections. The numerical approach was applied using the Finite Volume Method and the ANSYS Fluent software. The research was conducted under turbulent flow conditions, covering two Reynolds number ranges: 10,000 to 100,000 (10 cases) and 100,000 to 1,000,000 (5 cases). The first section of the article presents calculations of losses for a circular pipe, accompanied by a mesh test and error estimation. The second section includes calculations conducted for a series of pipes with various selected cross-sectional shapes: half-circle, quarter-circle, square, rectangles with aspect ratios of 2:1 and 3:1, isosceles triangle, and equilateral triangle. The last section of the article discusses the calculation of linear losses and the hydraulic resistance multiplier for each tested shape. It was found that this coefficient ranged from 1.33 to 2.2, depending on the shape, with the influence of the Reynolds number being relatively insignificant.

Progress in jet grouting technology has been focused on the cutting-edge observer of jets, which aims to generate large columns of jet grouting and increase the activity of construction sites. Since jet grouting techniques vary from conventional grouting methods to modern techniques, they can be used in a variety of soil types and their application areas are expanding quickly. So, grouting methods have become very popular methods for subsoil strengthening. This article includes finding the physical and mechanical properties of the soil of the AL-Rashdia site, using a single-jet grouting machine and a steel model to test concrete piles and jet piles, and a double-jet grouting machine to compare the results obtained from laboratory model of one-dimensional jet grouting column pile with those of a one-dimensional concrete pile. The comparison showed that the settlement of the jet pile was smaller than that of the concrete pile and the bearing load was higher with jet columns giving a high bearing capacity comparable with the concrete pile. Shen’s method is more adequate to find the ultimate bearing load and the settlement for this load. Also, the ultimate pile ratio was 115.63% for the jet column, and the ultimate pile ratio for the concrete column was 123.49%. The compressive strength of the core sample of jet columns was large which improved the bearing capacity of the foundation.

A novel design of Return Flow Solar Air Heater (RFSAH) with different arrangements of baffles especially V-Type Artificial roughness is simulated and numerically analyzed with energy balance equations. To enhance the effectiveness of baffles, numerous studies have been conducted. The performance of the RFSAH is studied in terms of thermal efficiency, thermo-hydraulic efficiency, and optimization of baffle parameters. Maximum Thermal efficiency and thermo-hydraulic efficiency are found in RFSAH with baffle on both sides of the absorber plate and mass flow rate above 0.2kg/s. Sensitivity analysis of the influencing parameters is carried out and reported the best performance of the system on selective geometrical parameters (ψ=0.7, β=20%, e/H=1, p/e=0.8, α=60∘). The results obtained from the present model are validated with the published experimental results and have been found in quite reasonable agreement with an average error of 16.45%. Thermal and Thermohydraulic efficiency of RFSAH with a baffle on both sides of the absorber plate is maximum among baffles below, above, and on both sides of the absorber plate. It is observed that the thermal efficiency of RFSAH is greater than SF-SAH. The proposed optimum baffles roughness is suggested to increase the air upholding time period for more efficient output.

Aiming at the frost heave characteristics of long-distance and large-section underground freezing projects in cities, the double-line tunnel of Shanghai Metro Line 18 undercrossing an operation station was select as an example,a three-dimensional numerical model was established by using finite element software based on the thermal-mechanical coupling equation. Combined with the physical parameters obtained from laboratory tests, the evolution law of frost heave displacement field of the project was studied, and the influence of measures such as the staggered peak freezing and the adjustment of brine temperature on the frost heave displacement field was explored. Under the experimental conditions, the results show that: ① the deformation of the station floor caused by frost heave which mainly occurs in the active freezing period. When the double-line tunnel is frozen at the same time, the vertical displacement of the station floor at 45days of freezing reaches 77.72% of the displacement at 90 days of freezing. ② When the freezing time reaches 90 days, compared with simultaneous freezing, the displacement of the station floor reduced by 7.7% under the condtion of staggered peak freezing. The superposition effect of frost heave in the same time period is effectively avoided, and the frost heave effect is reduced to a certain extent. ③ When the freezing time reaches 90 days, compared with simultaneous freezing, the displacement of the station floor reduced by 34.2% under the condtion of adjusting the brine temperature, it shown that the expansion rate and frost heave effect of frozen soil are effectively controlled. In engineering practice, measures such as staggered freezing and adjusting brine temperature are used together to control frost heave, and the maximum vertical deformation of the station floor is 25.41 mm. The deformation law of the station floor obtained by numerical simulation is basically consistent with the measured data, which effectively guided the construction of the project.

Abstract This study investigates the Tip Clearance Cavitation (TCC) characteristics of three different Tip Clearances (TC) (0.4, 0.6, 0.8) and five inlet negative pressure conditions Pj = (− 20–60)kPa to improve the reliability of the aerospace high-speed centrifugal pump during in-orbit operation, based on the premise of good agreement between the TC 0.6 test curve and the simulation performance curve. Under negative pressure and high-speed conditions, the variation gradient of cavitation characteristics with various inlet negative pressures is non-linear and has a sudden change, but the trend becomes stable after the inlet negative pressure drops to a certain stage. The tip clearance cavitation characteristics vary from the blade surface cavitation characteristics due to the difference in forces on both sides. This study is a proper starting point for the design of aerospace power pumps.

Residual stress is caused by non–uniform deformation caused by non–uniform force, heat and composition, which is of great significance in engineering applications. It is assumed that the residual stress is always the upper limit of the elastic limit, so the reduction of the flow stress will reduce the residual elastic stress. It is particularly important to control the flow stress in metal materials. Compared with traditional methods, the use of electropulsing treatment (EPT) technology stands out due to its energy–efficient, highly effective, straightforward and pollution–free characteristics. However, there are different opinions about the mechanism of reducing flow stress through EPT due to the conflation of the effects from pulsed currents. Herein, a clear correlation is identified between induced stress levels and the application of pulsed electrical current. It was found that the decrease in flow stress is positively correlated with the current density and the duration of electrical contact and current action time. We first systematically and comprehensively summarize the influence mechanisms of EPT on dislocations, phase, textures and recrystallization. An analysis of Joule heating, electron wind effect, and thermal–induced stress within metal frameworks under the influence of pulsed currents was conducted. And the distribution of electric, thermal and stress fields under EPT are discussed in detail based on a finite element simulation (FES). Finally, some new insights into the issues and challenges of flow stress drops caused by EPT are proposed, which is critically important for advancing related mechanism research and the revision of theories and models.

In the case of solid slabs made of reinforced concrete that are usually subjected to bending, large areas of the structure are stressed well below their load-bearing capacity. Contrary to this are shell structures, which can bridge large spans with little material if designed according to the force flow. To improve the efficiency of ceiling slabs, we want to utilize the shell load-bearing behavior on a smaller scale by resolving the solid interior accordingly. In order to study a wide range of such constructions virtually, a parametric multi-objective simulation environment is being developed in an ongoing research project. The basic analysis approaches that were implemented are presented in this paper. The basic workflow, the used programs and material models, and their calibration on the tests on textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) samples are described.

Computer simulation is a crucial element in the design of chemical processes. Although numerous commercial software options are widely recognized, the expense associated with acquiring and sustaining valid software licenses can be prohibitive. In contrast, open-source software, being freely available, provides an opportunity for individuals to study, review, and modify simulation models. This accessibility fosters technology transfer and facilitates knowledge dissemination, benefiting both academic and industrial domains. In this study, a thermodynamic equilibrium steady-state analysis of steam methane reforming using a natural-gas-like intake fuel was conducted. An analytical method was developed on the Microsoft Excel platform, utilizing the material balance equations system. The obtained results were compared to numerical methods employing the free-of-charge chemical process simulation software COCO and DWSIM. The investigation explored the influence of temperature, pressure, and steam-to-carbon ratio to determine optimal operating conditions. The findings suggest that higher temperatures and lower pressures are highly favorable for this process, considering that the choice of steam-to-carbon ratio depends on the desired conversion, with a potential disadvantage of coke formation at lower values. Consistent results were obtained through both analytical and numerical methods. Notably, simulations performed using DWSIM showed a deviation of 6.42% on average compared to COCO values. However, it was observed that the analytical method tended to overestimate the results by an average of 3.01% when compared to the simulated results from COCO, highlighting the limitations of this analytical approach.

Abstract Layered rock slope exists widely. Because of its special slope structure, it is prone to bending deformation and toppling failure, which is a serious threat to engineering construction and safety operation. At present, the research of layered rock slope still has great innovation potential. During the construction of Wudongde Hydropower Station on Jinsha River, safety and stability problems such as slope geological structure development, face rock unloading and relaxation, and even slip and large deformation were encountered. Through field exploration, it is found that the rock and soil stratification of the slope on both sides of Wudongde Hydropower Station is highly obvious. At present, there is a lack of research on-site long-term displacement monitoring of layered rock high-steep slope, especially for layered slope in complex hydrogeology and construction environment. In order to strengthen the research on the deformation and stability of layered rock slope, this paper analyzes the measured displacement data of Wudongde hydropower station slope, and establishes three-dimensional geological finite element model with the help of numerical simulation software. The stability of the slope is calculated by combining the finite difference method and the strength reduction method. Finally, the evolution mechanism of the deformation of the layered rock slope is explained according to the geological structure characteristics. The main conclusions of this paper are as follows: the layered slope in the dam reservoir area is prone to deformation under the combined action of long-term construction disturbance and fissure water seepage, and the construction disturbance has a strong influence on the artificial excavation area below 1070 m, and the maximum rock mass deformation and surface displacement in the artificial excavation area of the slope reach 92.2 mm and 312.5 mm, respectively. However, the influence of construction disturbance on the natural mountain above 1070 m is limited, the valley deformation of the natural mountain on the left bank of the reservoir area is higher than that on the right bank, and the cumulative deformation is still less than 20 mm. The influence of seepage on the displacement of the area with higher elevation at the top of the slope is more obvious, and the influence of excavation and other disturbances on the displacement of the artificial excavation area with lower elevation is more obvious. The deformation of the river valley in the water cushion pond behind the dam increases slowly, and the change trend of the field deformation data is mostly consistent with that of the numerical calculation. The horizontal shrinkage of the mountains on both sides shows a contraction trend on the whole, and the maximum horizontal shrinkage calculated by numerical simulation is close to 20 mm, which is located at the elevation of 990 m.

Abstract Longwall mining method is widely used for underground coal production in the world. Additional stresses occur surrounding the longwall during underground mining. Stresses occurring surrounding the longwall are investigated by many researchers for years. How these stresses affect longwall production, gob, main gate, tailgate and main haulage road has been always an important issue. In this study, the effect of the safety pillar left at the end of the panel on the main haulage road is investigated. For this purpose, 6 models with different pillar distances are created and the stresses occurring in the main haulage road, tailgate and main gate at different pillar distances are examined. It has been demonstrated with numerical models that the optimum pillar distance according to these stress conditions does not damage the main haulage road, tailgate and main gate. In addition, the pillar distance of 10 m gives maximum coal recovery efficiency, and it has been shown by numerical models that the stresses occurring in the main haulage road, main gate and tailgate are not damaging to these galleries.

A computationally efficient model is proposed to analyze plasma-assisted combustion using nanosecond repetitive pulsed (NRP) plasmas. The NRP plasma discharge is placed in the oxidizer stream of a counter-flow diffusion flame. The effect of changing the flow rate and the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of a continuous NRP plasma discharge on the temperature and species profiles of a counter-flow diffusion flame is investigated numerically. The results confirm that oxygen atom and nitrogen vibrational states are the most important species to enhance combustion. The results also show that kinetic effects are much more significant for higher PRF and lower pulse voltage. In addition, when steady plasma profiles are used instead of unsteady plasma profiles, the extinction strain rates increase by 25.8%, 21.1%, and 10.8% for PRF equal to 1, 2, and 4 kHz, respectively.

To ensure viability, it is necessary for an intertwined supply network (ISN) system to optimise network structure to provide flexible redundancy in response to changing environment. Considering resilience methods are usually designed as reactions to single discrete disruptions rather than situational reactions to real-time changes, this study proposes a novel redundancy optimisation approach dynamically providing each demand market with a pair of supply routes to optimise the flexible redundancy of ISN, thereby ensuring the survivability of supply chains and demand markets under continuous changes. Based on this, we propose the ISN design (ISND) model to capture the trade-off between total cost and viability performance under facility and transportation disruption. The Lagrangian relaxation algorithm, combined with the sub-gradient method and the improved cellular genetic algorithm, are utilised for solving problems of different scales. To test the performance of the model and corresponding algorithms, we also conduct a numerical analysis of the data from medical equipment ISN in southern China. The results indicate that the ISND model can effectively optimise ISN structures, which makes it possible to dynamically provide flexible redundancy; the two algorithms also show good calculation efficiency. The relationship between ISN structure and viability performance is thus observed and explained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study analytically develops a new recovery planning optimisation model for managing the impacts of the recent COVID-19 outbreak for online business operations. Firstly, a mathematical model for the ideal plan is designed and then extended to generate a recovery plan in a finite planning horizon that maximises total profit. Recovery plans are generated considering two scenarios, namely the dynamic and uncertain situations. For the dynamic situation, a realistic system with timedependent and dynamic demand, supply, and warehouse capacity for investigating the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak is developed using several measures, such as collaborating with emergency suppliers, increasing warehouse capacity, and considering back-orders and lost sales to form recovery strategies. For the uncertain situation, demand, supply, and warehouse capacities are considered as uncertain variables. Further, an innovative solution approach using an adapted differential evolution technique, which is capable of (i) generating long-term recovery plans and (ii) solving both small- and large-scale problems, is developed. The results are illustrated using numerical analyses and simulation experiments. A sensitivity analysis is also conducted. In practice, the proposed optimisation model will assist the decision-makers of online business operations facing the COVID-19 outbreak to decide the optimal recovery plans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The time fractional Schrödinger equation contributes to our understanding of complex quantum systems, anomalous diffusion processes, and the application of fractional calculus in physics and cubic B-spline is a versatile tool in numerical analysis and computer graphics. This paper introduces a numerical method for solving the time fractional Schrödinger equation using B-spline functions and the Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative. The proposed method employs a finite difference scheme to discretize the fractional derivative in time, while a θ-weighted scheme is used to discretize the space directions. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated through numerical results, and error norms are examined at various values of the non-integer parameter, temporal directions, and spatial directions.

- Abstract
The present essay is concerned with providing rigorous justification of a long‐standing practice in numerical simulation of partial differential equations. Theory often sets initial‐value problems on all of R${\mathbb {R}}$ or Rd${\mathbb {R}}^d$. If the initial data are localized in space, it has been usual practice to approximate the problem by an associated periodic problem or a homogeneous Dirichlet problem set on a finite interval. While these strategies are commonplace, rigorous justification of the practice is sparse. It is our purpose here to indicate justification of this practice in the concrete context of a surface water wave model. While the theory worked out here is specific to the particular partial differential equation, it will be apparent to the reader that more general results may be derived using the same approach.

- Abstract
Researchers are interested in the non-Newtonian fluid flow with mixed convection because of its extensive use in industry and manufacturing. Additionally, thermal radiation in convective heat transfer is critical for thermal transmission regulation. As a result, the authors provide an in-depth study of how mixed convective effects on concentration and temperature impact mass, heat, and non-Newtonian Casson fluid flow. A transverse magnetic field and vertical permeable stretched sheet affect the fluid. Nonlinear thermal radiation, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, velocity slip, and temperature slip are all examined. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) can be changed into especially nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the right similarity transformation. We use the RK-45 technique in Mathematica to solve the system to accommodate different physical attributes. The data are analyzed graphically. This study shows that increasing the free convection parameters Gr and Gc improves the velocity profile. However, the Casson parameter, magnetic field, velocity slip, and mass suction parameter lower it. Increasing Gc, Nb, Nt, Rd, and θw parameters lead to a higher temperature profile, whereas β,Gr,S, and ε parameters have the opposite. Increased concentration is shown with β and Nt parameters, whereas Gc, Gr, CR, Le, and Sc have the opposite impact. Skin friction increases against δ and Gr and reduces for
S andM Heat transfer increases for β, Gc, Gr, andS whereas reduces for ε Nb, Nt,Rd, and θw. Mass transfer increases for CR, Gr, Gc, Le, Nb, and Sc and reduces for Nt and β. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

This article reports a carbon fiber–reinforced plastic Kagome composite honeycomb sandwich structure reinforced with polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam (PKCSS). Low‐velocity impact performances on the node, rib, and two cell centers of the PKCSS were experimentally compared with those on a composite Kagome honeycomb sandwich (CKHS), and the failure mechanism of the PKCSS was investigated. The impact process was analyzed through an explicit numerical analysis using ABAQUS. A three‐dimensional Hashin failure criterion was introduced using the VUMAT subroutine. Results confirmed that the PKCSS exhibits higher impact and specific loads than the CKHS, with the maximum improvements of 69.7% and 39.5%, respectively, under 50‐J impact energy. As an uncrushable material, the PMI foam provides strong impact resistance during its plateau stage. This technology of cell filling can be used to fabricate lightweight all‐composite honeycomb sandwiches for potential use in ultrahigh engineering applications. Highlights: Cell filling is applied in an all‐composite Kagome honeycomb sandwich.The LVI performances of the PKCSS and CKHS are experimentally compared.C‐scanning is used to analyze the failure of the considered structures.The PKCSS's numerical model is established to investigate the impact process.The enhancement mechanism of the PMI foam is analyzed.

Entanglement constitutes one of the key concepts in quantum mechanics and serves as an indispensable tool in the understanding of quantum many-body systems. In this work, we perform extensive numerical investigations of extensive entanglement properties of coupled quantum spin chains. This setup has proven useful for e.g. extending the Lieb–Schultz–Mattis theorem to open systems, and contrasts the majority of previous research where the entanglement cut has one lower dimension than the system. We focus on the cases where the entanglement Hamiltonian is either gapless or exhibits spontaneous symmetry breaking behavior. We further employ conformal field theoretical formulae to identify the universal behavior in the former case. The results in our work can serve as a paradigmatic starting point for more systematic exploration of the largely uncharted physics of extensive entanglement, both analytical and numerical.

Heat pipes have been extensively studied using various methods, such as MATLAB, AMESIM, and commercial CFD software. Early numerical models employed the thermal conductance approach, which oversimplified the characteristics and performance of heat pipes. Newer models comprise the thermal resistance model, which emphasizes two-phase heat transfer, AI-based approaches for predicting flow patterns and thermal characteristics, and the CFD model, which accounts for phase changes and two-phase flow utilizing the VoF and phase change models. Although the thermal resistance model demands fewer computing resources, it has limited visualization of the flow pattern and wick structure. In contrast, CFD models offer advantages in visualizing the flow pattern and thermal characteristics but have limitations in terms of consuming computing resources and considering heat transfer from wick structures and mass transfer rates caused by phase changes. Consequently, most simulations are validated with experimental results. Innovative approaches for phase changes in heat pipes and wick structures are necessary to address these challenges.

R134a, commonly used in air conditioning (AC) for electric vehicles, may be gradually limited because its global warming potential (GWP) is 1430. This study combined the advantages of R1234yf and R152a. PR state equation and vdW mixing rule are used to construct the mixing model. The performance of R1234yf/R152a at different mass ratios was analyzed, a new mixture R1234yf/R152a (mass ratio 60.5/39.5) was selected. The cycling performance of mixture and R134a under three different evaporation temperatures was further studied. The results show that R1234yf/R152a belongs to a near-azeotropic mixture. In cycling performance, the R1234yf/R152a per-unit refrigerating capacity (RC) of refrigerant mass is about 12.45 % higher than that of R134a, the per-unit RC of swept volume is about 5.21 % lower than that of R134a. In this case, the GWP is 56.93, and the cost is moderate. The safety grade is A2L, which can replace R134a without changing the original system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although the rapid expansion of urban rail transit offers convenience to citizens, the issue of subway vibration cannot be overlooked. This study investigates the spatial distribution characteristics of vibration in the Fayuan Temple historic and cultural reserve. It involves using a V001 magnetoelectric acceleration sensor capable of monitoring low amplitudes with a sensitivity of 0.298 V/(m/s2), a measuring range of up to 20 m/s2, and a frequency range span from 0.5 to 100 Hz for in situ testing, analyzing the law of vibration propagation in this area, evaluating the impact on buildings, and determining the vibration reduction scheme. The reserve is divided into three zones based on the vertical vibration level measured during the in situ test as follows: severely excessive, generally excessive, and non-excessive vibration. Furthermore, the research develops a dynamic coupling model of vehicle–track–tunnel–stratum–structure to verify the damping effect of the wire spring floating plate track and periodic pile row. It compares the characteristics of three vibration reduction schemes, namely, internal vibration reduction reconstruction, periodic pile row, and anti-vibration reinforcement or reconstruction of buildings, proposing a comprehensive solution. Considering the construction conditions, difficulty, cost, and other factors, a periodic pile row is recommended as the primary treatment measure.

This paper addresses the design of beam position monitor (BPM) devices suitable for fourth-generation diffraction-limited X-ray storage rings. Detailed investigations of the electromagnetic (EM) phenomena occurring inside the component under various working conditions are carried out by considering different BPM EM models defined by their geometry and materials. Moving from a theoretical characterization of the common round geometry, rhomboidal structures are studied through a careful numerical analysis relying on advanced computer-aided tools. Several critical elements, such as wakefields, pick-up signal extraction, and trapped and propagating modes, are explored from the simulation point of view and from the experimental one, by deploying a manufactured microwave test bench, which is employed to measure the radio frequency behavior of a BPM prototype built at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste. The aim of the proposed study is to identify a satisfactory tradeoff between achievable performance and practical realizability for BPM devices operating in last-generation light sources.

This letter introduces a novel integrated framework for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) tailored for general agricultural applications. The framework combines a cutting‐edge SLAM method, LIO‐SAM, with covariance intersection for sensor fusion. Agricultural robots often operate in unstructured environments with sparse feature points and encounter repeated similar information, such as trees. Therefore, a fusion framework based on 3D SLAM augmented with additional information, such as feature‐independent GPS data, becomes essential. This study proposes an integrated SLAM framework by introducing a convergence strategy based on covariance analysis, incorporating a state‐of‐the‐art 3D SLAM technique. The convergence methods, namely "dynamic weight assignment" and "winner takes all", are presented alternatively, tailored to seamlessly integrate with the proposed framework. Evaluations using a public dataset and an experiment demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach through numerical analysis and visual representation. The results illustrate that this method surpasses conventional approaches in accurately estimating the robot's position. In the future, this research will focus on automating crop cultivation and harvesting by integrating the proposed system with robot arm control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Here, the prediction of friction characteristics for pipe jacking drives during soil traversing has been explored. This work is done in the context of no great understanding of how drivers negotiate highly weathered rock formations. Based on a series of jacking force prediction models, including the Staheli model, Pellet-Beaucour and Kastner models (PK-O models) and proposed modified Pellet-Beaucour and Kastner models (PK-M models), direct shear tests are performed on initial-contacted specimens to obtain the friction coefficient μavg using back-analysis. The evaluation of the reliability of the parameter μavg and the modified vertical pressure σv is carried out through a three-dimensional finite element in ADINA in combination with the "wished-in place" method (WPM). The shear stress of the pipe–rock interface and the compressive stress of the end area are obtained by numerical analysis and in good agreement with the measured jacking force predicted by the proposed PK-M-1 model, indicating the correctness and necessity of considering the degree of the arching effect when modeling strong weathering rock masses. According to these results, the friction coefficient μavg of back-analysis can be used as a reliable input parameter for the finite-element modeling of pipe-jacking force in highly weathered geological formations. Highlights: The modified Pellet-Beaucour and Kastner models (PK-M models) have been established. A modified simulation method for rock pipe jacking in highly weathered rocks has been studied in ADINA. The correctness and superiority of the PK-M models have been discussed and verified.

The side sealing technology is crucial for ensuring the quality and process stability in twin‐roll casting (TRC). Investigating the temperature and stress distribution in side dams under operational conditions is vital, especially in understanding the causes of side dam fractures. Optimal performance of side dam materials is achieved when the boron nitride (BN) matrix is fine and homogeneous, with zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and silicon carbide (SiC) particles evenly dispersed throughout. The fracture of the side dam after casting is mainly caused by BN interlamellar tear. The coexistence of BN lamellar tearing and BN layer fracture leads to the fracture of the side dam during the casting process. Through finite element simulation, the effects of variables such as pouring temperature, preheating temperature, and side dam thickness on temperature and stress distribution were analyzed. The findings indicate that a preheating temperature range of 1200–1300 °C minimizes thermal stress in the side dam. Building on these findings, a composite structure for the side dam is developed. Both internal and external composite structures have shown significant effectiveness in reducing thermal stress. These results are pivotal in extending the service life of side dams and enhancing the stability of the TRC process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the top blowing process of the basic oxygen furnace, the oxygen jet may react with CO before it reaches the surface of the molten bath. This combustion reaction affects the dynamic characteristics of the jet, which, in turn, affects its interaction with the bath. In this study, a numerical model is developed to investigate the transient and steady combustion characteristics of the supersonic jet emitted from the top lance. The transient combustion simulation shows that the CO ratio gradually decreases while the CO2 mole fraction increases at the interaction boundary region between jet and ambient due to the chemical reactions. In addition, the jet profile is changed when the postcombustion is introduced. Due to the flame formation and turbulence change at the jet combustion interface, the axial velocity at height of 2 m (x = 73 re) is 89% higher than that of the noncombustion reaction jet flow. In the results, it is demonstrated that the combustion interface is favorable to reduce the jet decay, resulting a higher dynamic pressure before the jet reaches the bath surface. Furthermore, a higher core temperature and lower density are obtained for the combustion jet compared to that of without combustion reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
