Determination of a Drawing Die's Cone Angle at a Small Compression Ratio Based on the Upper Bound Theory

The value of a drawing die＇s cone angle has great influence on wire drawing. In order to determine the optimum value of a drawing die＇ s cone angle, the plastic deformation power Wi, shear deformation power Wi and friction power of contact surface Wf were calculated using the upper bound theory with a reasonable and movement permitted velocity field according to the related characteristics. Then the relation between half cone angle and unit drawing force was obtained and it was compared with the result with the spherical velocity field. The relative error of the two near the optimal value is only about 0. 26% through comparing with existing calculated results. Finally, in an ABAQUS environment the finite element modal of the wire rod with 12. 5 mm diameter in first drawing pass was established and the axial drawing force in different cone angles was obtained using the ABAQUS/Explicit explicit integration method. The finite element method （FEM） results verify the results using the upper bound theory and this indicated that the velocity field and the relation between half cone angle and unit drawing force reasonable.

The numerical results are compared with the experimental ones of cylindrical cup drawing process. The focus of the present researches is on the numerical analysis and the constraining scheme of the flange earring of circular sheets with strong anisotropy in square cup drawing process.

Research on Data Theory of Value

This paper explores the data theory of value along the line of reasoning epochal characteristics of data-theoretical innovation-paradigmatic transformation and,through a comparison of hard and soft factors and observation of data peculiar features,it draws the conclusion that data have the epochal characteristics of non-competitiveness and non-exclusivity,decreasing marginal cost and increasing marginal return,non-physical and intangible form,and non-finiteness and non-scarcity.It is the epochal characteristics of data that undermine the traditional theory of value and innovate the“production-exchange”theory,including data value generation,data value realization,data value rights determination and data value pricing.From the perspective of data value generation,the levels of data quality,processing,use and connectivity,data application scenarios and data openness will influence data value.From the perspective of data value realization,data,as independent factors of production,show value creation effect,create a value multiplier effect by empowering other factors of production,and substitute other factors of production to create a zero-price effect.From the perspective of data value rights determination,based on the theory of property,the tragedy of the private outweighs the comedy of the private with respect to data,and based on the theory of sharing economy,the comedy of the commons outweighs the tragedy of the commons with respect to data.From the perspective of data pricing,standardized data products can be priced according to the physical product attributes,and non-standardized data products can be priced according to the virtual product attributes.Based on the epochal characteristics of data and theoretical innovation,the“production-exchange”paradigm has undergone a transformation from“using tangible factors to produce tangible products and exchanging tangible products for tangible products”to“using intangible factors to produce tangible products and exchanging intangible products for tangible products”and ultimately to“using intangible factors to produce intangible products and exchanging intangible products for intangible products”.

APPLICATION OF GREY SYSTEM THEORY TO PROCESSING OF MEASURING DATA IN REVERSE ENGINEERING

The processing of measuri ng data plays an important role in reverse engineering. Based on grey system the ory, we first propose some methods to the processing of measuring data in revers e engineering. The measured data usually have some abnormalities. When the abnor mal data are eliminated by filtering, blanks are created. The grey generation an d GM(1,1) are used to create new data for these blanks. For the uneven data sequ en ce created by measuring error, the mean generation is used to smooth it and then the stepwise and smooth generations are used to improve the data sequence.

On the generation of deep focus earthquakes in subduction zones

Following a quasi-dynamic scheme proposed by Minear and Toksoz (1970), thermal structures of subduction zonesfor different models by finite element method (FEM) were calculated. Density distribution and p-wave anomaly ofsubduction zones were calculated at the same time. Comparing with seismological evidences and results of laboratories. it is proposed that earthquakes occurred below 400 km depth are probably controlled by anti-crackmechanism.

Effect of graph generation on slope stability analysis based on graph theory

Limit equilibrium method （LEM） and strength reduction method （SRM） are the most widely used methods for slope stability analysis. However, it can be noted that they both have some limitations in practical application. In the LEM, the constitutive model cannot be considered and many assumptions are needed between slices of soil/rock. The SRM requires iterative calculations and does not give the slip surface directly. A method for slope stability analysis based on the graph theory is recently developed to directly calculate the minimum safety factor and potential critical slip surface according to the stress results of numerical simulation. The method is based on current stress state and can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above in the two traditional methods. The influences of edge generation and mesh geometry on the position of slip surface and the safety factor of slope are studied, in which a new method for edge generation is proposed, and reasonable mesh size is suggested. The results of benchmark examples and a rock slope show good accuracy and efficiency of the presented method.

DISCUSSION ON AVERAGE GENERATION OF TWODIMENSIONAL DATA SEQUENCE IN GREY SYSTEM THEORY

An unequal time interval sequence or a sequence with blanks is usually completed with average generation in grey system theory. This paper discovers that there exists obvious errors when using average generation to generate internal points of non-consecutive neighbours. The average generation and the preference generation of the sequence are discussed, the concave and convex properties show the status of local sequence and propose a new idea for using the status to build up the criteria of choosing generation coefficient. Compared with the general average method of the one-dimensional data sequence, the two-dimensional data sequence is defined and its average generation is discussed, and the coefficient decision method for the preference generation is presented.

High-order harmonic generation of the cyclo[18]carbon molecule irradiated by circularly polarized laser pulse

High-order harmonic generation of the cyclo[18]carbon(C_(18) ) molecule under few-cycle circularly polarized laser pulse is studied by time-dependent density functional theory. Compared with the harmonic emission of the ring molecule C_(6)H_(6) having similar ionization potential, the C_(18) molecule has higher efficiency and cutoff energy than C_(6)H_(6) with the same laser field parameters. Further researches indicate that the harmonic efficiency and cutoff energy of the C_(18) molecule increase gradually with the increase of the laser intensity of the driving laser or decrease of the wavelength, both are larger than those of the C_(6)H_(6) molecule. Through the analysis of the time-dependent evolution of the electronic wave packets, it is also found that the higher efficiency of harmonic generation can be attributed to the larger spatial scale of the C_(18) molecule,which leads to a greater chance for the ionized electrons from one atom to recombine with others of the parent molecule.Selecting the suitable driving laser pulse, it is demonstrated that high-order harmonic generation in the C_(18) molecule has a wide range of applications in producing circularly polarized isolated attosecond pulse.

Calculation of the Nonlinear Susceptibility in van der Waals Crystals

The development of theoretical models for crystals has led to the evolution of computational methods with which much more thorough investigations than previously possible can be done, including studies of the nonlinear optical properties. There has recently been a rise in interest in 2-dimensional materials;unfortunately, measurements of the nonlinear susceptibility of these materials in the wavelength range of the order of hundreds of nanometers by traditional methods are difficult. Studies of second-harmonic generation (SHG) from the transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), MoS2 and MoSe2, have been reported;however, SHG from other typical van der Waals crystals such as GaSe and other transition metal monochalcogenides (TMMCs) has rarely been studied under the same conditions. In this study, the 211 (i = 2, j = 1, k = 1) elements in the susceptibility matrices of GaSe, InSe, MoS2 and WS2 were calculated and compared. A tendency for the SHG intensity to weaken as the wavelength increases from 500 nm to 1000 nm was observed for GaSe and InSe, and, apart from some periodic fluctuations, no clear increase could be seen for these two materials in the SHG response curve in the near infrared. By comparison, MoS2 and WS2 have obvious peaks in both the visible and infrared bands. Calculations of the SHG response show peaks at around 500 nm (for GaSe), 570 (for InSe), 660 nm, 980 nm (for MoS2) and 580 nm, 920 nm (for WS2). Moreover, similarities between the SHG curves for GaSe and InSe and for MoS2 and WS2 were revealed, which may be due to the similarities found for these two groups of crystals.

The models of treatment the extreme values are constructed which are based on machine generated sample and approach is proposed for their future application for constructing forecasting models.

On the Context Vein of“Competence”and Its Generating Mecha­nism-based on the Perspective of Situational Learning Theory

“Key competence”has become a hot vocabulary in educational reform in recent years.However,the essential connotation and specific generation mechanism of“competence”as its basic concept are still far from clear,and often controversial due to vague expressions.The rise of the concept of“key competence”undoubtedly originated in the West,but in the context of Chinese,its meaning has changed significantly.By analyzing the origin and evolution of the concept of“competence”in the Western social context and the concept from“quality”to“competence”in the Chinese social context,we can deeply understand the essence of the concept of“competence”and further clarify the specific generation mechanism of“competence”and its relationship with education.Analyzing the formation of competence based on situational learning theory emphasizes the occurrence of competence through participation in situational activities,the development of learning courses and identity consultation,which can provide some inspiration for the formation of competence.

Assessment of Operational Performance in a Power Generation/Selling Integrated Company Using a Dynamic Proportional Adjustment Coefficient

Currently,the operational performance assessment system in the power market primarily focuses on power generation and electricity retail companies,lacking a system tailored to the operational characteristics of power generation/selling integrated companies.Therefore,this article proposes an assessment index system for assessing the operational performance of a power generation/selling integrated company,encompassing three dimensions:basic capacity,development potential,and external environment.A dynamic proportional adjustment coefficient is designed,along with a subjective and objective weighting model for assessment indexes based on a combined weightingmethod.Subsequently,the operational performance of an integrated company is assessed using extension theory.The results in the case study demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed dynamic proportional adjustment coefficient.

Sr-doping effects on La_2O_3 catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane

Density‐functional theory calculations were carried out to study the strontium(Sr)‐doping effect on methane activation over a lanthanum‐oxide(La2O3)catalyst for the oxidative coupling of methane(OCM)using the cluster model.Eight Sr‐doped La2O3cluster models were built from pure La2O3clusters that were used previously to model the La2O3catalyst.These form two distinct categories,namely,those without a radical character(LaSrO2(OH),La2SrO4,La3SrO5(OH),and La5SrO8(OH))and those with a radical character(LaSrO3,La2SrO4(OH),La3SrO6,and La5SrO9).The potential‐energy surface for CH4activation to form a CH3radical at different Sr-O and La-O pair sites on these Sr‐doped La2O3clusters was calculated to study the Sr‐doping effect on the OCM catalytic activity.CH4physisorption and chemisorption energies,and activation barriers,and CH3desorption energies were predicted.Compared with the pure La2O3clusters,in general,the Sr‐doped La2O3clusters are thermodynamically and kinetically more reactive with CH4.For the Sr‐doped La2O3clusters without the radical character,the Sr-O pair site is more reactive with CH4than the La-O pair site,although a direct release of the CH3radical is also highly endothermic as in the case of the pure La2O3clusters.In contrast,for the Sr‐doped La2O3clusters with a radical character,the activation of CH4at the oxygen radical site and the release of the CH3radical are much easier.Thus,our calculations suggest that the Sr dopant prompts the OCM catalytic activity of the La2O3catalyst by providing a highly active oxygen‐radical site and by strengthening the basicity of the M-O pair site,which leads to lower CH4activation energies and lower CH3desorption energies.

Optimization of combined endoreversible Carnot heat engines with different objectives

Taking the output power, thermal efficiency, and thermo-economic performance as the optimization objectives, we optimize the operation parameters of a thermodynamic system with combined endoreversible Carnot heat engines in this paper. The applicabilities of the entropy generation minimization and entransy theory to the optimizations are discussed. For the discussed cases, only the entransy loss coefficient is always agreeable to the optimization of thermal efficiency. The applicabilities of the other discussed concepts to the optimizations are conditional. Different concepts and principles are needed for different optimization objectives, and the optimization principles have their application preconditions. When the preconditions are not satisfied, the principles may be not applicable.

Voltage Control in Smart Grids: An Approach Based on Sensitivity Theory

Due to the development of Distributed Generation (DG), which is installed in Medium-Voltage Distribution Networks (MVDNs) such as generators based on renewable energy (e.g., wind energy or solar energy), voltage control is currently a very important issue. The voltage is now regulated at the MV busbars acting on the On-Load Tap Changer of the HV/MV transformer. This method does not guarantee the correct voltage value in the network nodes when the distributed generators deliver their power. In this paper an approach based on Sensitivity Theory is shown, in order to control the node voltages regulating the reactive power exchanged between the network and the dispersed generators. The automatic distributed voltage regulation is a particular topic of the Smart Grids.

Analysis of third and one-third harmonic generation in lossy waveguides

A comprehensive study on the requirements for the highly efficient third harmonic generation(THG) and its inverse process, one-third harmonic generation(OTHG), in lossy waveguides is proposed. The field intensity restrictions for both THG and OTHG caused by loss are demonstrated. The effective relative phase ranges, supporting the positive growth of signal fields of THG and OTHG are shrunken by the loss. Furthermore, it turns out that the effective relative phase ranges depend on the intensities of the interacting fields. At last, a modified definition of coherent length in loss situation, which evaluates the phase matching degree more precisely, is proposed by incorporating the shrunken relative phase range and the nonlinear phase mismatch. These theoretical analysis are valuable for guiding the experimental designs for highly efficient THG and OTHG.

Electronic Structures and Optical Properties of HgGa_2X_4 (X=S,Se,Te)Semiconductors

The first-principles density functional calculations are performed to study the geometries and electronic structures of HgGa2X4（X = S,Se,Te） semiconductors with defect chalcopyrite structures,and the optical properties of all crystals are investigated systematically.The results indicate that these compounds have similar band structures and the band gap decreases from S to Se to Te.For the linear optical properties,three crystals show good light transmission in the IR and part visible regions,and in particular,HgGa2S4 and HgGa2Se4 crystals possess moderate birefringence.For the nonlinear optical properties,these crystals have stronger second harmonic generation（SHG）,and are theoretically predicted to have larger second-order static SHG coefficients（ 30 pm/V）.The SHG of HgGa2X4（X = S,Se,Te） semiconductors can be attributed to the transitions from the bands near the top of valence band derived from X（X = S,Se,Te） p states to the unoccupied bands contributed by the p states of Ga atoms.Our results indicate that the HgGa2S4 and HgGa2Se4 compounds are good candidates for nonlinear optical crystals in the IR region.

Mechanism of Gravity Impulse

It is well known that energy-momentum is the source of gravitational field. For a long time, it is generally believed that only stars with huge masses can generate strong gravitational field. Based on the unified theory of gravitational interactions and electromagnetic interactions, a new mechanism of the generation of gravitational field is studied. According to this mechanism, in some special conditions, electromagnetic energy can be directly converted into gravitational energy, and strong gravitational field can be generated without massive stars. Gravity impulse found in experiments is generated by this mechanism.
