With the help of the structures, crash kinetic-energy can be completely absorbed or dissipated for the aim of safety. Two composite structures(circumscribed circle structure and inscribed circle structure) were constructed. In addition, comparison and optimization of the crashworthy characteristic of the two structures were carried out based on the method of explicit finite element analysis(FEA) and Kriging surrogate model. According to the result of Kriging surrogate model, conclusions can be safely drawn that the specific energy absorption(SEA) and ratio of specific energy absorption to initial peak force(REAF) of circumscribed circle structure are lager than those of inscribed circle structure under the same design parameters. In other words, circumscribed circle structure has better performances with higher energy-absorbing ability and lower initial peak force. Besides, error analysis was adopted and the result of which indicates that the Kriging surrogate model has high nonlinear fitting precision. What is more, the SEA and REAF optimum values of the two structures have been obtained through analysis, and the crushing results have been illustrated when the two structures reach optimum SEA and REAF.展开更多

Specific energy absorption(SEA) was defined as the energy absorbed by the honeycomb structure per unit volume. This parameter was often used for determining the crashworthiness of thin-walled structures. In order to find the most optimized metal square honeycomb structure with the maximum SEA and the lowest peak stress, the cell length and the foil thickness of the metal honeycombs were optimized, with a low peak stress and a high SEA set as the two primary objectives. The pre-processing software Patran was used to build FE models, and the explicit solver LS-DYNA was employed to perform the crashworthiness analyses. The results show that the square honeycomb exhibits good energy absorption performance in some cases. The geometry is effective using 16.8% less buffer structure volume than the hexagonal honeycombs with a peak stress limitation of 1.21 MPa.展开更多

The results agree well with the observed values. It was found that for the calculation of visible absorption using ZINDO/S method could rapidly yield better results by adjusting OWFπ-π (the relationship between π-π overlap weighting factor) value than by the TD-DFT method. The method of regression showing the linear relationship between OWFπ-π and BLN-N (nitrogen-nitrogen bond lengths) as OWFπ-π=?8.1537+6.5638BLN-N, can be explained in terms of quantum theory, and also be used for prediction of visible absorption maxima of other azobenzne dyes in the same series. This study on molecules’ orbital geometry indicates that their visible ab- sorption maxima correspond to the electron transition from HOMO (the highest occupied molecular orbital) to LUMO (the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital).展开更多

The OTLAMR problem contains two sub-problems: the MMMCN reliabilities evaluation and multi-objective transmission lines assignment optimization. First, a reliability evaluation with a transmission line assignment (RETLA) algorithm is proposed to calculate the MMMCN reliabilities under the cost constraint for a certain transmission lines configuration. Second, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is adopted to find the non-dominated set of the transmission lines assignments based on the reliabilities obtained from the RETLA algorithm. By combining the RETLA and the NSGA-II algorithms together, the RETLA-NSGA II algorithm is proposed to solve the OTLAMR problem. The experiments result show that the RETLA-NSGA II algorithm can provide efficient solutions in a reasonable time, from which the decision makers can choose the best solution based on their preferences and experiences.展开更多

With a small decay rate, the energy transfer efficiency is quantitatively reflected by the average life time of excitation energy before being trapped in the sink where the decay process is omitted. In the weak dissipation regime, the trapping time is analyzed within the exciton population subspace based on the secular Redfield equation. The requirement of the noise-enhanced energy transfer is obtained, where the trapping time follows an exact or approximate 1/F- scaling of the dissipation strength F. On the opposite side, optimal initial system states are conceptually constructed to suppress the 1/F-scaling of the trapping time and maximize the coherent transfer efficiency. Our theory is numerically testified in four models, including a biased two-site system, a symmetric three-site branching system, a homogeneous one- dimensional chain, and an 8-chromophore FMO protein complex.展开更多

The device based on PBDB-T-SF:NCBDT-4 Cl shows a power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 13.1%without any post-treatment, which represents the best result for all as-cast organic solar cells(OSCs) to date. After device optimizations, the PCE was further enhanced to over 14% with a high short-circuit current density(Jsc) of 22.35 m A cm-2 and a fill-factor(FF) of 74.3%. The improved performance was attributed to the more efficient photo-electron conversion process in the optimal device. To our knowledge, this outstanding efficiency of 14.1% with an energy loss as low as 0.55 eV is among the best results for all single-junction OSCs.展开更多

The high-resolved one-dimensional implosion simulations show that the inner pure CFI layer of the Si-doped design is excessively preheated by the hard x-ray, leading to the unstable ablator-fuel interface compared to the Ge-doped capsule. This is because that the Si K-shell absorption edge (1.8 keV) is higher than the Ge L-edge (1.3 keV), and Si dopant makes more hard x-ray penetrate through the doped ablator layers to preheat the inner pure CH layer. So an optimization of the doped ablator layers (called "Si/Ge capsule") is performed: an Si-doped CH layer is placed next to the outer pure CH layer to keep the high implosion velocity; next to the Si-doped layer is a thin Ge-doped layer, in order to absorb the hard x-ray and protect the inner undoped CH-layer from excessively preheating. The simulations show that the Si/Ge capsule can effectively improve hydrodynamic stability at the ablator-fuel interface while keeping the high implosion velocity.展开更多

文摘The paper investigates theoretically the optimization of the doped ablator layers for the plastic ignition capsule. The high-resolved one-dimensional implosion simulations show that the inner pure CFI layer of the Si-doped design is excessively preheated by the hard x-ray, leading to the unstable ablator-fuel interface compared to the Ge-doped capsule. This is because that the Si K-shell absorption edge (1.8 keV) is higher than the Ge L-edge (1.3 keV), and Si dopant makes more hard x-ray penetrate through the doped ablator layers to preheat the inner pure CH layer. So an optimization of the doped ablator layers (called "Si/Ge capsule") is performed: an Si-doped CH layer is placed next to the outer pure CH layer to keep the high implosion velocity; next to the Si-doped layer is a thin Ge-doped layer, in order to absorb the hard x-ray and protect the inner undoped CH-layer from excessively preheating. The simulations show that the Si/Ge capsule can effectively improve hydrodynamic stability at the ablator-fuel interface while keeping the high implosion velocity.
