Nonlinear Time History Analysis for the Different Column Orientations under Seismic Wave Synthetic Approach

The significant impact of earthquakes on human lives and the built environment underscores the extensive human and economic losses caused by structural collapses. Over the years, researchers have focused on improving seismic design to mitigate earthquake-induced damages and enhance structural performance. In this study, a specific reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure at Kyungpook National University, designed for educational purposes, is analyzed as a representative case. Utilizing SAP 2000, the research conducts a nonlinear time history analysis to assess the structural performance under seismic conditions. The primary objective is to evaluate the influence of different column section designs, while maintaining identical column section areas, on structural behavior. The study employs two distinct seismic waves from Abeno (ABN) and Takatori (TKT) for the analysis, comparing the structural performance under varying seismic conditions. Key aspects examined include displacement, base shear force, base moment, joint radians, and layer displacement angle. This research is anticipated to serve as a valuable reference for seismic restraint reinforcement work on RC buildings, enriching the methods used for evaluating structures through nonlinear time history analysis based on the synthetic seismic wave approach.

Nonlinear Pushover Analysis of the Influences on RC Footing for the External Elevator Well

In contemporary society, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and achieving sustainable development are paramount goals. One effective approach is to preserve existing RC (Reinforced Concrete) buildings rather than demolishing them for new construction. However, a significant challenge arises from the lack of elevator designs in many of these existing RC buildings. Adding an external elevator becomes crucial to solving accessibility issues, enhancing property value, and satisfying modern residential buildings using convenient requirements. However, the structural performance of external elevator wells remains understudied. This research is designed by the actual external elevator project into existing RC buildings in Jinzhong Rd, Shanghai City. Specifically, this research examines five different external elevator wells under nonlinear pushover analysis, each varying in the height of the RC (Reinforced Concrete) footing. By analyzing plastic hinge states, performance points, capacity curves, spectrum curves, layer displacement, and drift ratio, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these structures of the external elevator well respond to seismic events. The findings are expected to serve as a valuable reference for future external elevator projects, ensuring the external elevator designs meet the seismic requirements. By emphasizing seismic resistance in the design phase, the research aims to enhance the overall safety and longevity of external elevator systems integrated into existing RC buildings.

By harnessing the predictive capabilities of LSTM, the research aims to contribute to advancements in elevator group control design, ultimately enhancing the functionality and efficiency of vertical transportation systems in built environments. The findings of this research have the potential to reference the development of intelligent elevator management systems, capable of dynamically adapting to fluctuating passenger demand and optimizing elevator usage in real-time. By enhancing the efficiency and functionality of vertical transportation systems, the research contributes to creating more sustainable, accessible, and user-friendly living environments for individuals across diverse demographics.

氧化还原驱动的高活性Pd/PdO表面界面促进低温甲烷燃烧

天然气汽车尾气中尚未充分燃烧的甲烷是一种典型的温室气体之一,其温室效应远超二氧化碳,达到后者的20倍以上.因此,减少甲烷的排放对于有效应对气候变化至关重要.目前,以Pd/Al_(2)O_(3)为基础催化剂的催化燃烧反应,已被证实为减少甲烷排放的最为切实可行的技术手段.深入了解钯基催化剂的活性结构不仅有助于合理设计高效的催化体系,还能在很大程度上减少贵金属钯的使用量.然而,在甲烷燃烧反应过程中,由于氧化还原气氛的复杂性,Pd金属的表面容易转变为不同结构,这增加了研究其活性结构的难度.此外,催化剂的制备方法、载体的性质、预处理的气氛以及温度等因素均会对Pd的价态和粒径效应产生影响,使得Pd基催化剂在甲烷燃烧反应中的活性结构至今仍存在争议.为了深入研究这一问题,本文选用商业化的纳米级γ-Al_(2)O_(3)作为载体,采用易于工业化应用的浸渍法制备了Pd/Al_(2)O_(3)催化剂,并研究其在低温(200-400℃)贫燃条件下的活性结构.球差电镜结果表明,催化剂中的Pd纳米颗粒在不同气氛中经800℃高温预处理后呈现出不同的结构特点.氦气处理后的催化剂中,Pd以完全金属态的形式存在;氧气处理后的催化剂中,Pd以PdO的形式存在;甲烷燃烧反应气处理后的催化剂中,PdO大颗粒上存在金属Pd小颗粒,呈现出“荔枝型”Pd/PdO结构.准原位X射线光电子能谱和原位X射线吸收谱等结果表明,“荔枝型”Pd/PdO结构是在甲烷燃烧反应中受氧化还原气氛诱导形成的.该独特的“荔枝型”Pd/PdO结构的催化剂在300℃甲烷燃烧反应中,表现出337.8μmol gPd^(-1) s^(-1)的反应速率,分别是纯金属Pd和PdO型催化剂反应速率的10.7倍和15.5倍.进一步研究表明,无论催化剂中Pd的初始状态为金属态或是氧化态,高活性的“荔枝型”Pd/PdO结构都可以在较低温度(500℃)的长时间(12 h)甲烷燃烧反应中缓慢生成.通过调节预处理气氛中甲烷与氧气的相对浓度,可以实现689.2μmol gPd-1 s^(-1)的反应速率,高于文献已报道的Pd基催化剂在相似反应条件下的活性.密度泛函理论计算结果表明,相对于金属Pd和PdO,甲烷在Pd/PdO界面处表现出最低(0.40 eV)的自由能势垒,这表明由于界面处金属Pd和PdO的协同作用,甲烷断裂第一个C-H键的解离活化过程更容易发生,从而解释了“荔枝型”Pd/PdO结构高催化活性的来源.综上,本文通过先进的球差电镜和原位光谱表征技术,为深入认识甲烷燃烧钯基催化剂活性结构提供了新的角度.研究发现,反应过程中因气氛诱导而生成的高活性结构可能是重要的活性中心,这一观点不仅有助于理解甲烷燃烧反应的机理,而且可以为其他氧化还原催化体系的研究以及工业催化剂的设计制备提供参考.

Sn1Pt单原子合金催化剂在丙烷脱氢反应中的应用

丙烯是生产聚丙烯、各类丙烷氧化物、丙烯腈的重要化工原料.近年来,随着丙烯需求量日益增长,作为一种专产丙烯的生产方式,丙烷脱氢(PDH)受到了越来越多的关注.PtSn/Al_(2)O_(3)是一种典型的工业丙烷脱氢催化剂,其特征是催化活性会随反应时间的推移而下降,因此需要反复再生以保证丙烯产率.提高PtSn催化剂的稳定性,需要明确反应状态下PtSn的催化性能与其结构之间的关系.然而,Pt和Sn的价态及其相互作用,对制备方法、预还原条件、载体类型等因素非常敏感,此外,从Pt-Sn二元相图来看,二者在高温(~600℃)还原性反应气氛下可形成多种合金结构,因此,PtSn在丙烷脱氢中的活性位结构的认识颇具挑战,目前文献报道结果仍存在争议.本文选用商业化的纳米级γ-Al_(2)O_(3)作为载体,通过利用纳米载体上只能担载有限数量的金属原子和加入过量的第二金属Sn稀释活性金属Pt的方式,得到高分散的PtSn/nano-Al_(2)O_(3)催化剂.当Pt和Sn的负载量分别为0.1 wt%和1 wt%时,其初始丙烯产率可达到47.6 molC_(3)H_(6)gPt^(-1)h^(-1),高于文献已报道的PtSn双金属催化剂,该催化剂经3-10 h活性快速下降期(k_(d-3h):0.11h^(-1))后,表现出较好的稳定性(k_(d-10~40h):0.0026 h^(-1)).球差电镜(AC-HAADF-STEM)表征结果显示,该催化剂经500℃焙烧后,Pt及Sn在Al_(2)O_(3)载体上均呈单原子分散状态;经600℃氢气还原后,Pt团聚为平均直径约0.85 nm的纳米颗粒;通过对其进行能谱点扫分析,发现Pt纳米颗粒上分布有少量的Sn原子,而剩余大量的Sn原子则继续以单原子形式分布在载体上.进一步原位X射线光电子能谱和原位X射线吸收能谱结果证明,该催化剂中纳米颗粒的具体组成为Sn单原子分散在Pt纳米颗粒表面,形成S_(n1)Pt表面单原子合金结构.密度泛函理论理论计算证明了S_(n1)Pt表面单原子合金结构的稳定性及其在丙烷脱氢中的高活性.最后结合原位CO吸附的漫反射红外光谱等表征,揭示了催化剂反应初期活性下降及后期高稳定性的内在原因:催化剂经还原后形成了高活性的S_(n1)Pt表面单原子合金结构,在反应过程中,该结构演变为纯相Pt_(3)Sn金属间化合物,其与周围呈单分散的SnOx物种协同作用,抑制和转移在活性中心上的积碳,进而实现了高稳定性.这种通过单原子表面合金演变得到的Pt_(3)Sn金属间化合物,与传统Pt与Pt_(3)Sn等金属化合物混相共存的工业催化剂相比,可以避免丙烯在催化剂表面单金属Pt平台位点上的深度脱氢和积碳,进而提高了催化剂稳定性.综上,本文从原子水平上为PDH反应中PtSn/Al_(2)O_(3)催化剂的活性位结构及其演化过程提供了新的见解,并为工业催化剂的设计制备提供了理论参考.

Clay minerals and elemental composition of sediments on different sedimentary units in the northern East China Sea shelf:provenance tracing and genetic mechanism analysis

The composition,provenance,and genetic mechanism of sediment on different sedimentary units of the East China Sea(ECS)shelf are essential for understanding the depositional dynamics environment in the ECS.The sediments in the northern ECS shelf are distributed in a ring-shaped distribution centered on the southwestern Cheju Island Mud.From the inside to the outside,the grain size goes from fine to coarse.Aside from the“grain size effect”,hydrodynamic sorting and mineral composition are important restrictions on the content of rare earth elements(REEs).Based on the grain size,REEs,and clay mineral composition of 300 surface sediments,as well as the sedimentary genesis,the northern ECS shelf is divided into three geochemical zones:southwestern Cheju Island Mud Area(ZoneⅠ),Changjiang Shoal Sand Ridges(ZoneⅡ-1),Sand Ridges of the East China Sea shelf(ZoneⅡ-2).The northern ECS shelf is mostly impacted by Chinese mainland rivers(the Changjiang River and Huanghe River),and the provenance and transport mechanism of sediments of different grain sizes is diverse.The bulk sediments come primarily from the Changjiang River,with some material from the Huanghe River carried by the Yellow Sea Coastal Current and the North Jiangsu Coastal Current,and less from Korean rivers.Among them,surface sediments in the southwestern Cheju Island Mud Area(ZoneⅠ)come mostly from the Changjiang River and partly from the Huanghe River.It was formed by the counterclockwise rotating cold eddies in the northern ECS shelf,which caused the sedimentation and accumulation of the fine-grained sediments of the Changjiang River and the Huanghe River.The Changjiang Shoal Sand Ridges(ZoneⅡ-1)were developed during the early-middle Holocene sea-level highstand.It is the modern tidal sand ridge sediment formed by intense hydrodynamic action under the influence of the Yellow Sea Coastal Current,North Jiangsu Coastal Current,and Changjiang Diluted Water.The surface sediments mainly originate from the Changjiang River and Huanghe River,with the Changjiang River dominating,and the Korean River(Hanjiang River)influencing just a few stations.Sand Ridges of the East China Sea shelf(ZoneⅡ-2)are the relict sediments of the paleo-Changjiang River created by sea invasion at the end of the Last Deglaciation in the Epipleistocene.The clay mineral composition of the surface sediments in the study area is just dominated by the Changjiang River,with the North Jiangsu Coastal Current and the Changjiang Diluted Water as the main transporting currents.

Composite solid electrolyte of Na3PS4-PEO for all-solid-state SnS2/Na batteries with excellent interfacial compatibility between electrolyte and Na metal

High ionic conductivity and superior interfacial stability of solid electrolytes at the electrodes are crucial factors for high-performance all-solid-state sodium batteries. Herein, a composite solid electrolyte Na3PS4-polyethylene oxide is synthesized by the solution-phase reaction method with an improved ionic conductivity up to 9.4 × 10-5 S/cm at room temperature. Moreover, polyethylene oxide polymer layer is wrapped homogeneously on the surface of Na3PS4 particles, which could effectively avoid the direct contact between Na3PS4 electrolyte and sodium metal, thus alleviate their side reactions. We demonstrate that all-solid-state battery SnS2/Na with the composite solid electrolyte Na3PS4-polyethylene oxide delivers an enhanced electrochemical performance with 230 m Ah/g after 40 cycles.

Dimension-Enhanced Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Ion Mobility-Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry Combined with Intelligent Peak Annotation for the Rapid Characterization of the Multiple Components from Seeds of Descurainia sophia

The complex composition of herbal metabolites necessitates the development of powerful analytical techniques aimed to identify the bioactive components.The seeds of Descurainia sophia(SDS)are utilized in China as a cough and asthma relieving agent.Herein,a dimension-enhanced integral approach,by combining ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/ion mobility-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UHPLC/IMQTOF-MS)and intelligent peak annotation,was developed to rapidly characterize the multicomponents from SDS.Good chromatographic separation was achieved within 38 min on a UPLC CSH C18(2.1×100 mm,1.7μm)column which was eluted by 0.1%formic acid in water(water phase)and acetonitrile(organic phase).Collision-induced dissociation-MS^(2)data were acquired by the data-independent high-definition MS^(E)(HDMS^(E))in both the negative and positive electrospray ionization modes.A major components knockout strategy was applied to improve the characterization of those minor ingredients by enhancing the injection volume.Moreover,a self-built chemistry library was established,which could be matched by the UNIFI software enabling automatic peak annotation of the obtained HDMS^(E)data.As a result of applying the intelligent peak annotation workflows and further confirmation process,a total of 53 compounds were identified or tentatively characterized from the SDS,including 29 flavonoids,one uridine derivative,four glucosides,one lignin,one phenolic compound,and 17 others.Notably,four-dimensional information related to the structure(e.g.,retention time,collision cross section,MS^(1)and MS^(2)data)was obtained for each component by the developed integral approach,and the results would greatly benefit the quality control of SDS.

Research on Fuzzy PID Charging Control of Battery Pack

Battery groups are widely used in production and life. Optimal charging can not only shorten the charge time, but also improve the performance and life of the battery pack. A constant current or constant voltage charging method is commonly used. This type of method cannot adjust the charge capacity in time according to the change of charging capacity of storage battery, and the charge performance is not high. This paper designs a fuzzy PID controller. In the case of variable load and interference, the battery group can still be charged by the optimal charging current. Through the simulation results, the fuzzy PID controller works well and verifies the feasibility of the charging controller.
