At first, using discrete Fourier transformation technique, the complete structure is analyzed by considering only one sector with appropriate complex constraints on its boundary with the adjacent sectors. Next, an imaginary structure which is composed of two identically overlapping sectors is constructed, and that the complex constraints mentioned above can be equivalently replaced by a set of real constraints on this imaginary structure is proved. Therefore, the stress analysis of a cyclically symmetric structure can be solved conveniently by most of finite element programs.展开更多

The 'characteristic radius', r0 characterized as the horizontal structure of a tropical cyclone,in which m and p are the parameters of the vortex, has been found by the author. And then it has been shown that there is but one 'characteristic radius' for each cyclone with horizontal structure. Two direct analytic solutions for the uniform and non-uniform basic flows in steady situations are presented with rc Results show that the change in the horizontal structure of the tropical cyclone itself will have obvious effect on the cyclone motion, on both its direction and speed. Therefore it must be considered in the research on the tropical cyclone motion.展开更多

The condensation of generalized coordinates, the locations of sensors and actuators, and the relation between system inputs and control forces are assumed to be set in a symmetric way so that the control system posses the same repetition as the structure considered. By employing proper transformations of condensed generalized coordinates and the system inputs, the vibration control of an entire system can be implemented by carrying out the control of a number of sub-structures, and thus the dimension of the control problem can be significantly reduced.展开更多

Its asymmetric unit consists of one and two halves of crystallographically independent Mn(Ⅱ) cations,one fully deprotonated H4 bpta ligand,seven coordinated water molecules and five solvent water as guest molecules. In I,each Mn(Ⅱ) atom is octahedrally coordinated by six oxygen atoms from bpta^(4-) anions and coordinated water molecules. In the Mn(Ⅱ) cations,one half Mn(Ⅱ) ion of them located at a 2-fold axis generating a trinuclear [Mn_3(H_2O)_2(RCOO)_2] linker by μ1,1-O(water) and μ1,3-O,O?(carboxylate) bridges and another half Mn(Ⅱ) ion with an inversion is a mononuclear linker. These neighbouring trinuclear and mononuclear Mn(Ⅱ) cations are linked together by biphenyl-3,3?,5,5?-tetracarboxylates to form a three-dimensional framework with a(42.84) topology of a(4,4)-connected net,in which the positions of the trinuclear [Mn_3(H_2O)_2(R-COO)_2] linker as a 4-connector linking four bpta^(4-) ligands in I reproduce an eagle-shaped arrangement. The polymeric structure exhibits a water channel with an accessible void of 797.1 ?~3,amounting to 15.7% of the total unit-cell volume. Each of the cavities in the network is occupied by solvent water molecules.展开更多

Focused ion beam and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques revealed that α-Fe2O3 was the single crystal feature present. Ba ions contributed to the formation of symmetrical structures exhibited in the final composites. Subsequently, porous magnetic symmetric hexagonal cone structures were used to study the observed intense electromagnetic wave interference. Electromagnetic absorption performance studies at 2-18 GHz indicated stronger attenuation electromagnetic wave ability as compared to other shapes such as spindles, spheres, cubes, and rods. The maximum absorption frequency bandwidth was at 7.2 GHz with a coating thickness d = 1.5 mm. Special structures and the absence of BaCO3 likely played a vital role in the excellent electromagnetic absorption properties described in this research.展开更多

An earlier version of the ALLTD uses a rigid link to model the lower limbs of a patient. This paper extends this scenario to include articulations in the lower limbs and analyzes the resulting two-link mechanism. Due to the force-displacement coupled structure, the inverse and forward kinematics of the ALLTD model are analyzed in combination with the requirement for static force balance. Examples using the limb parameters of Chinese adults are provided to show the efficacy of our model. The workspaces and cable tensions of the model indicate that the ALLTD could satisfy the rehabilitation training needs of patients with various lengths of lower limbs.展开更多

The equivalent circuit model is proposed on the basis of physical and electrical properties of the GaN HEMT device. A transistor with 0.5 μm gate length and 6 x 125 gm gate width is fabricated to verify the model, which can be treated as a single pole single throw (SPST) switch due to the ON state and OFF state. The measurement results show a lzood agreement with the simulation results, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed model.展开更多
