The parameters are obtained from the ab initio energies using the Chen-MSbius inversion method. Analyses of the pair distribution functions show that the two Au clusters use different deformation processes to adjust the distances between the interface atoms, owing to the misfit between the atom distances among the clusters and the substrates. The local structural changes are identified by atomic density profiles.展开更多

Diffusivity as a function of moisture content is obtained through a Boltzman transformation, master curves, and combined numerical and regression techniques. Transport processes in one and two-layered composites are simulated on the basis of extended unsaturated Darcy’s Law using the finite element method (FEM). Simulation results show significantly different transport patterns of moisture profile when moisture migrates in different directions, and high agreement with experimental moisture profiles.

Battery charge-sustaining(CS) period is divided into power mode and economy mode. Energy management strategy designing methods of power mode and economy mode are proposed. Maximum velocity, acceleration performance and fuel consumption are simulated during the CS period in the AVL CRUISE simulation environment. The simulation results indicate that the maximum velocity and acceleration time of the power mode are better than those in the economy mode. Fuel consumption of the economy mode is better than that in the power mode. Fuel consumption of PHEV during the CS period is further improved by using the methods proposed in this paper, and this is meaningful for research and development of PHEV.展开更多

Firstly,this paper presents a unique point of view for computing the electromagnetic wave attenuation ratio under different weather conditions by means of an independent electromagnetic wave propagation component that can be directly implemented in virtual test, and is easy to configure and easy to reuse. We present an analysis of the principles of electromagnetic wave propagation and the algorithms designed for realization of various propagation models within the electromagnetic wave propagation component. Secondly,this paper presents a use-case analysis and outlines the design of the component,verifies the developed models under various weather conditions,and obtains equivalent values as those obtained theoretically. Finally,we build a virtual test system,verify the system in different weather conditions,and again obtain equivalent values to those obtained theoretically. The algorithms in the electromagnetic wave propagation component are developed in the C language, which substantially improves the computational speed,and meets the real-time requirements of the virtual testing platform.展开更多

The developed system of differential equations were integrated numerically using fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithm embedded in ode 45 solver of 7.5 Mathlab program. The models were validated by solving the model equations with kinetic data and other relevant data from literatures. The results and trends were similar and in agreement with those from these literatures. Simulations of the reactor to (±) step changes in the inlet flowrates of the reactants (used cooking oil and methanol) showed great effect on biodiesel production, (instability—oscillations and reduction in output concentration of biodiesel). A feedback control strategy was developed with a Proportional-Integral (PI) Controller and a close loop model was developed for control studies. The closed loop response of the reactor output (biodiesel concentration) showed continuous oscillatory response with offset. Hence the controller parameters (proportional gain <em>K</em><em><sub>c</sub></em> and integral time <img src="Edit_b22777c4-287e-4ff4-a82a-0b5c9393b5ab.bmp" alt="" />) were tuned using the “On-Line Trial and Error Method” implemented using MathLab Simulink to obtain optimum values that ensured quick stability of the closed-loop system, reduced or no oscillatory response and no offset.

文摘This paper presents a digital model for the powder metallurgical(PM)production chain of high-performance sintered gears based on an integrated computational materials engineering(ICME)platform.Discrete and finite element methods(DEM and FEM)were combined to describe the macroscopic material response to the thermomechanical loads and process conditions during the entire production process.The microstructural evolution during the sintering process was predicted on the meso-scale using a Monte-Carlo Model.The effective elastic properties were determined by a homogenization method based on modelling a representative volume element(RVE).The results were subsequently used for the FE modelling of the heat treatment process.Through the development of multi-scale models,it was possible obtain characteristics of the microstructural features.The predicted hardness and residual stress distributions allowed the calculation of the tooth root load bearing capacity of the heat-treated sintered gears.

文摘The differences in structural change between Au225 and Au369 clusters with their (111) facets supported on MgO(100) surfaces at 5 K are studied by using molecular-dynamics simulations with the atomic interchange potentials of the Au/MgO interface. The parameters are obtained from the ab initio energies using the Chen-MSbius inversion method. Analyses of the pair distribution functions show that the two Au clusters use different deformation processes to adjust the distances between the interface atoms, owing to the misfit between the atom distances among the clusters and the substrates. The local structural changes are identified by atomic density profiles.

文摘Azo-based pillar[6]arene supramolecular organic frameworks are reported for CO_(2) and N_(2) adsorption and separation by density functional theory and grand canonical Monte–Carlo simulation.Azo-based pillar[6]arene provides suitable environment for CO_(2) adsorption and selectivity.The adsorption and selectivity results show that introducing azo groups can effectively improve CO_(2) adsorption and selectivity over N_(2),and both CO_(2) adsorption and CO_(2) selectivity over N_(2) follow the sequence pillar[6]arene N_(4)>pillar[6]arene N2>pillar[6]arene.Pillar[6]arene N_(4) exhibits CO_(2) adsorption capacity of1.36 mmol/g,and superior selectivity of CO_(2) over N_(2) of116.75 with equal molar fraction at 1 bar(1 bar=105 Pa)and 298 K.Interaction analysis confirms that both the Coulomb and van derWaals interactions between CO_(2) with pillar[6]arene frameworks are greater than that of N_(2).The stronger affinity of CO_(2) with pillar[6]arene N_(4) than other structures and the larger isosteric heat differences between CO_(2) and N2 rendered pillar[6]arene N4 to present the high CO_(2) adsorption capacity and high CO_(2) selectivity over N_(2).Our results highlight the potential of azo-functionalization as an excellent means to improve pillar[6]arene for CO_(2) capture and separation.
文摘Research into the moisture transport processes in porous materials is primarily important for theoretical modelling and industrial applications in the design of energy saving buildings and living environments, etc. Based on experimental investigation, we propose new models which describe one-dimensional transport through one-layered uniform materials and dissimilar two-layered composites. Diffusivity as a function of moisture content is obtained through a Boltzman transformation, master curves, and combined numerical and regression techniques. Transport processes in one and two-layered composites are simulated on the basis of extended unsaturated Darcy’s Law using the finite element method (FEM). Simulation results show significantly different transport patterns of moisture profile when moisture migrates in different directions, and high agreement with experimental moisture profiles.

文摘In this paper, a plug-in hybrid electrical vehicle(PHEV) is taken as the research object, and its dynamic performance and economic performance are taken as the research goals. Battery charge-sustaining(CS) period is divided into power mode and economy mode. Energy management strategy designing methods of power mode and economy mode are proposed. Maximum velocity, acceleration performance and fuel consumption are simulated during the CS period in the AVL CRUISE simulation environment. The simulation results indicate that the maximum velocity and acceleration time of the power mode are better than those in the economy mode. Fuel consumption of the economy mode is better than that in the power mode. Fuel consumption of PHEV during the CS period is further improved by using the methods proposed in this paper, and this is meaningful for research and development of PHEV.

文摘With the development of virtual test,the computation of the effect of different weather conditions on electromagnetic wave propagation is required in many simulation systems. Firstly,this paper presents a unique point of view for computing the electromagnetic wave attenuation ratio under different weather conditions by means of an independent electromagnetic wave propagation component that can be directly implemented in virtual test, and is easy to configure and easy to reuse. We present an analysis of the principles of electromagnetic wave propagation and the algorithms designed for realization of various propagation models within the electromagnetic wave propagation component. Secondly,this paper presents a use-case analysis and outlines the design of the component,verifies the developed models under various weather conditions,and obtains equivalent values as those obtained theoretically. Finally,we build a virtual test system,verify the system in different weather conditions,and again obtain equivalent values to those obtained theoretically. The algorithms in the electromagnetic wave propagation component are developed in the C language, which substantially improves the computational speed,and meets the real-time requirements of the virtual testing platform.
文摘A three dimensional model to predict the hydro-mechanical state of unsaturated and deformable material during hot air drying has been proposed.The material viscoelastic behaviour was formulated using Bishop’s effective stress theory for partially saturated material using the liquid saturation as the Bishop parameter.The hydro-thermal and mechanical equations were coupled by the fluid pressure and the solid matter velocity.The model was applied to a deformable material(innovative clay-cellulose fibers composite)subjected to convective drying.A generalized Maxwell model with five elements,whose parameters were measured experimentally and correlated to water content was used to describe the material’s viscoelastic behavior.The hydro-thermal part of the proposed model was validated on the basis of a comparison of experimental and simulated drying rate curves.The Von Mises stress was simulated and compared to the experimental tensile strength in order to predict the time and the region of material failure.For a drying process at 95°C,the region of failure risk was identified.The failure may occur on the lateral surface of the slab in contact with air at a drying time of 2.5h.
文摘Dynamic Models for predicting the concentration profiles of the reactants and product in a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor for the transesterification of used cooking oil (triglyceride) to biodiesel has been developed using the principle of conservation of mass. The developed system of differential equations were integrated numerically using fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithm embedded in ode 45 solver of 7.5 Mathlab program. The models were validated by solving the model equations with kinetic data and other relevant data from literatures. The results and trends were similar and in agreement with those from these literatures. Simulations of the reactor to (±) step changes in the inlet flowrates of the reactants (used cooking oil and methanol) showed great effect on biodiesel production, (instability—oscillations and reduction in output concentration of biodiesel). A feedback control strategy was developed with a Proportional-Integral (PI) Controller and a close loop model was developed for control studies. The closed loop response of the reactor output (biodiesel concentration) showed continuous oscillatory response with offset. Hence the controller parameters (proportional gain <em>K</em><em><sub>c</sub></em> and integral time <img src="Edit_b22777c4-287e-4ff4-a82a-0b5c9393b5ab.bmp" alt="" />) were tuned using the “On-Line Trial and Error Method” implemented using MathLab Simulink to obtain optimum values that ensured quick stability of the closed-loop system, reduced or no oscillatory response and no offset. The optimum controller parameters were: proportional gain <em style="white-space:normal;">K</em><em style="white-space:normal;"><sub>c</sub></em> =8.306 and integral time <img src="Edit_7ad87ff7-7563-48b0-865b-70efc6c433cd.bmp" alt="" />= 17.157 minutes. <p> <br /> </p>
