压电俘能器结构及其力/电耦合作用分析

介绍了一种新的切实可行的能量俘获方法,即通过压电结构的力/电转换功能从环境振动中提取能量,实现微电子器件的无线供能.这种由压电结构制作的能从环境振动中提取能量的声波器件称为压电俘能器,可分为两类:一类是压电结构在环境振动激励下所输出的功率直接供给微电子器件工作,不进行能量储存,这类俘能器称为第一类压电俘能器(piezoelectric power harvester);另一类是环境振动较弱,压电结构的输出功率低于器件的瞬时耗能,考虑到某些器件大部分时间处于休眠状态,而俘能器却随时可以从环境振动中提取能量,因此经过一段时间的能量累积后,由俘能器所储存的能量仍能满足器件的短期工作耗能.显然,这类俘能器需要具备能量储存功能,称为第二类压电俘能器(piezoelectric energy harvester).本文详细介绍了压电俘能器结构以及两类俘能器的不同分析方法,阐述了提高俘能效率的有效措施并揭示了相关的改进机理,对压电俘能器的设计和应用具有重要意义.

Aging Characteristics of Lithium-Ion Battery Under Fast Charging Based on Electrochemical-thermalmechanical Coupling Model

The aging characteristics of lithium-ion battery(LIB)under fast charging is investigated based on an electrochemical-thermal-mechanical(ETM)coupling model.Firstly,the ETM coupling model is established by COMSOL Multiphysics.Subsequently,a long cycle test was conducted to explore the aging characteristics of LIB.Specifically,the effects of charging(C)rate and cycle number on battery aging are analyzed in terms of nonuniform distribution of solid electrolyte interface(SEI),SEI formation,thermal stability and stress characteristics.The results indicate that the increases in C rate and cycling led to an increase in the degree of nonuniform distribution of SEI,and thus a consequent increase in the capacity loss due to the SEI formation.Meanwhile,the increases in C rate and cycle number also led to an increase in the heat generation and a decrease in the heat dissipation rate of the battery,respectively,which result in a decrease in the thermal stability of the electrode materials.In addition,the von Mises stress of the positive electrode material is higher than that of the negative electrode material as the cycling proceeds,with the positive electrode material exhibiting tensile deformation and the negative electrode material exhibiting compressive deformation.The available lithium ion concentration of the positive electrode is lower than that of the negative electrode,proving that the tensile-type fracture occurring in the positive material under long cycling dominated the capacity loss process.The aforementioned studies are helpful for researchers to further explore the aging behavior of LIB under fast charging and take corresponding preventive measures.

Crack initiation rate of brittle rock under thermal-hydro-mechanical coupling condition

A calculation formula of thermal-hydro-mechanical(THM)coupling crack initiation rate for brittle rock was derived based on the energy conservation law.The self-designed THM coupling fracture test with conductive adhesive electrical measurement method was applied to measuring the THM coupling crack propagation rate of brittle rock continuously.Research results show that both calculation and test results of crack initiation rate increased with increase of the temperature and the hydraulic pressure.They are almost in good agreement,which can prove validity of the calculation formula of THM coupling crack initiation rate.

A new measurement method of crack propagation rate for brittle rock under THMC coupling condition

A new electrical method of conductive carbon-film(with waterproof and anticorrosion ability)was proposed to continuously measure crack propagation rate of brittle rock under THMC coupling condition.A self-designed coupling testing system was used to conduct THMC coupling fracture tests of the pre-cracked red sandstone specimens(where the temperature is only changed)by this new electrical method of conductive carbon-film.Calculation results obtained by the energy method coincide well with the test results.And the higher the temperature is,the earlier the crack is initiated and the larger the crack propagation rate and accelerated velocity are,which can prove the validity of the new electrical method.This new electrical method has advantages of continuously measuring crack propagation rate over the conventional electrical,optical and acoustic methods,and can provide important basis for safety assessment and cracking-arrest design of deep rock mass engineering.

Thermodynamics of Third Order Lovelock-Born-Infeld Black Holes

We here explore black holes in the third order Lovelock gravity coupling with nonlinear Born-Infeld electro- magnetic field. Considering special second and third order coefficients （＆g = 363 = a2）, we analyze the thermodynamics of third order Lovelock-Born-Infeld black holes and, in 7-dimensional AdS space-time, discuss the stability of black holes in different event horizon structures. We find that the cosmological constant A plays an important role in the distribution of black hole stable regions.

The adsorptive properties of UiO-66 towards organic dyes: A record adsorption capacity for the anionic dye Alizarin Red S.

In order to decisively determine the adsorption selectivity of zirconium MOF(UiO-66) towards anionic versus cationic species, the adsorptive removal of the anionic dyes(Alizarin Red S.(ARS), Eosin(E), Fuchsin Acid(FA)and Methyl Orange(MO)) and the cationic dyes(Neutral Red(NR), Fuchsin Basic(FB), Methylene Blue(MB),and Safranine T(ST)) has been evaluated. The results clearly reveal a significant selectivity towards anionic dyes. Such an observation agrees with a plethora of reports of UiO-66 superior affinity towards other anionic species(Floride, PO_4^(3-), Diclofenac sodium, Methylchlorophenoxy-propionic acid, Phenols, CrO_4^(2-), SeO_3^(2-), and AsO_4^-). The adsorption process of ARS as an example has been optimized using the central composite design(CCD). The resultant statistical model indicates a crucial effect of both pH and sorbent mass. The optimum conditions were determined to be initial dye concentration 11.82 mg.L^(-1), adsorbent amount 0.0248 g, shaking time of 36 min and pH 2. The adsorption process proceeds via pseudo-second order kinetics(R^2= 0.999). The equilibrium data were fit to Langmuir and Tempkin models(R^2= 0.999 and 0.997 respectively). The results reveal an exceptional removal for the anionic dye(Alizarin Red S.) with a record adsorption capacity of400 mg·g^(-1). The significantly high adsorption capacity of UiO-66 towards ARS adds further evidence to the recently reported exceptional performance of MOFs in pollutants removal from water.

Entanglement Dynamics of Three Superconducting Charge Qubits Coupled to a Cavity

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a quantum system consisting of three superconducting charge qubits （SCQs） interacting with a microwave field. For separable and entangled states of the SCQs, the evolutions are studied under various photon numbers of cavity field. The results show that the amplitude and period of the bipartite entanglement square concurrences can be controlled by the choice of initial states of SCQs and photon number of cavity field, respectively. This simple model of a quantum register allows us to understand the dynamic process of the quantum storage of information carried by charge qubit.

Research on main circuit parameter coupling relationship of single-phase shunt active power filter

There is a certain coupling relationship among the main circuit parameters of a single-phase shunt active power filter(SAPF),which has a great influence on the reasonable selection of various parameter values.By analyzing the calculation methods of the inductance of alternating current(AC)side and the voltage and capacitance values of direct current(DC)side in the existing single/three-phase SAPF main circuit,a specific single-phase SAPF circuit parameter analytical expression was obtained.Aiming at the coupling relationship among the variables in the resulting expression,the model was optimized and analyzed in MATLAB,and a complete set of parameters design scheme was obtained,which ensure the comprehensive optimization target of the post-harmonic content below 2% is compensated under a specific load.The simulation and experimental procedures verify the correctness of the selected parameters.

A double-clutch hybrid drivetrain architecture, control, and simulation

Electmmechanical coupling system is one of the key technologies of hybrid electric vehicles. Among the existing electromechanical coupling systems, ISG system is recognized as the most practical one with the highest integration. However, the efficiency of ISG system is relatively low in pure-motor-drive mode. In this paper, a hybrid drivetrain with double clutches was proposed, in which a mode-clutch was installed between engine and motor as the mode switch, thus the efficiency in pure-motor-drive mode was improved. This paper discussed the architecture, modeling and control strategy of double-clutch drivetrain. The results of co-simulation by Cruise and Simulink showed that the fuel economy of the vehicle with this drivetrain was effectively improved compared to similar conventional vehicles.

The role of proton dynamics on the catalyst-electrolyte interface in the oxygen evolution reaction

The development of non‐precious metal catalysts that facilitate the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is important for the widespread application of hydrogen production by water splitting.Various perovskite oxides have been employed as active OER catalysts,however,the underlying mechanism that occurs at the catalyst‐electrolyte interface is still not well understood,prohibiting the design and preparation of advanced OER catalysts.Here,we report a systematic investigation into the effect of proton dynamics on the catalyst‐electrolyte interfaces of four perovskite catalysts:La_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)CoO_(3‐δ)(LSCO),LaCoO_(3),LaFeO_(3),and LaNiO_(3).The pH‐dependent OER activities,H/D kinetic isotope effect,and surface functionalization with phosphate anion groups were investigated to elucidate the role of proton dynamics in the rate‐limiting steps of the OER.For oxides with small charge‐transfer energies,such as LSCO and LaNiO_(3),non‐concerted proton‐coupled electron transfer steps are involved in the OER,and the activity is strongly controlled by the proton dynamics on the catalyst surface.The results demonstrate the important role of interfacial proton transfer in the OER mechanism,and suggest that proton dynamics at the interface should carefully be considered in the design of future high‐performance catalysts.

Oscillatory Behavior of In-medium Interparticle Potential in Hot Gauge System with Scalar Bound States

We investigate the in-medium interparticle potential of hot gauge system with bound states by employing the QED and scalar QED coupling. At the finite temperature an oscillatory behavior of the potential has been found as well as its variation in terms of different free parameters. We expect the competition among the parameters will lead to an appropriate interparticle potential, which could be extended to discuss the fluid properties of QGP with scalar bound states.

Mechanic-Electric Coupling Characteristics of a Resonant Tunneling Diode

This paper reports the piezoresistive effect of a resonant tunneling diode （RTD） in a microstructure. The fourbeam structure is analyzed and fabricated by positing RTDs at the stress sensitive regions. Stress along the [110] orienta- tion and [110]ientation induces a change in the RTD＇s current-voltage （I-V） curves,i, e., the meso-piezoresistance variety,mainly in its negative different resistance （NDR） region. By different methods,the mechanic-electric coupling characteristic of RTD is studied and the consistent 10^9Pa^1 piezoresistive coefficients are discovered.

Vibration modes of flexoelectric circular plate

Beams,plates,and shells,as the fundamental mechanical structures,are widely used in microelectromechanical systems(MEMS)and nanoelectromechanical systems(NEMS)as sensors,actuators,energy harvesters,and among others.Deeply understand the electromechanical coupling of these dielectric structures is of crucial for designing,fabricating,and optimizing practice devices in these systems.Herein we demonstrate the electromechanical coupling in flexoelectric circular plate,in which higher-order strain gradients were considered to extend the classical electromechanical properties to isotropic materials,in which the non-uniform distribution of the electric potential along the radial direction was considered.Analytical solutions for the vibration modes of the flexoelectric circular plates showed that the dynamic modes were totally different from the piezoelectric circular plates owing to the inversion symmetry breaking by the strain gradient.The electromechanical coupling dynamic modes are sensitive to bending,twisting modes owing to the sensitivity of the flexoelectric effect to bending.This work provides a fundamental understanding of the electromechanical coupling in flexoelectric circular plate,which is helpful in designing novel flexoelectric circular plate-based devices,such as flexoelectric mirrors.

Wind-induced response analysis of a wind turbine tower including the blade-tower coupling effect

To analyze wind-induced response characteristics of a wind turbine tower more accurately, the blade-tower coupling effect was investigated. The mean wind velocity of the rotating blades and tower was simulated according to wind shear effects, and the fluctuating wind velocity time series of the wind turbine were simulated by a harmony superposition method. A dynamic finite element method (FEM) was used to calculate the wind-induced response of the blades and tower. Wind-induced responses of the tower were calculated in two cases (one included the blade-tower coupling effect, and the other only added the mass of blades and the hub at the top of the tower), and then the maximal displacements at the top of the tower of the tow cases were compared with each other. As a result of the influence of the blade-tower coupling effect and the total base shear of the blades, the maximal displacement of the first case increased nearly by 300% compared to the second case. To obtain more precise analysis, the blade-tower coupling effect and the total base shear of the blades should be considered simultaneously in the design of wind turbine towers.

Cu2O-Au Nanocomposites with Novel Structures and Remarkable Chemisorption Capacity and Photocatalytic Activity

The decomposition of Cull nanoparticles in aqueous solution has been successfully developed as a novel method for the preparation of Cu2O nanoparticles. In particular, we found that the decomposition of Cull nanoparticles in aqueous solution could be catalyzed by Au colloids, forming CU2O-Au nanocomposites. The composition and structure of the resulting Cu2O-Au nanocomposites have been characterized in detail by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Their visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity toward various dye molecules has also been investigated. Depending on the Au：Cu ratio, Cu20-Au nanocomposites exhibit different novel nanostructures including a beautiful flower-like nanostructure that consists of polycrystalline Cu2O, amorphous Cu2O and Au colloids. We propose that the rapidly-generated bubbles of H2 during the course of the catalytic decomposition reaction drive the simultaneously-formed Cu2O to form amorphous curved thin foils and might also act as a template to assemble curved thin foils of amorphous Cu2O, polycrystalline Cu2O and Au colloids into uniform nanostructures. A Cu2O-Au nanocomposite with a Cu：Au ratio of 40 exhibits remarkable chemisorption capacity and visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity towards methyl orange and acid orange 7 and is a promising chemisorption-photocatalysis integrated catalyst. The catalytic decomposition of the metal hydride might open up a new approach for the fabrication of other metal/metal oxide nanocomposites with novel nanostructures and properties.

Achieving maximum power transfer of inductively coupled wireless power transfer system based on dynamic tuning control

As an emerging research field,inductively coupled wireless power transfer(ICWPT) technology has attracted wide spread attention recently.In this paper,the maximum power transfer performances of four basic topologies labeled as SS,SP,PS and PP are investigated.By modeling the equivalent circuits of these topologies in high frequency(HF),the primary resonance compensation capacitances for maximum power transfer capability are deduced.It is found that these capacitances fluctuate with load resistance change,which is disadvantageous to SP,PS and PP topologies and an obstacle to their practical applications as well.To solve this problem,a phase controlled inductor circuit is proposed.By adjusting the triggering angle,the real-time dynamic tuning control can be achieved to guarantee maximum power transfer.Finally,simulations and experiments show that the proposed method is of great effectiveness and reliability to solve the issue of resonance compensation capacitance fluctuation with load change and to guarantee the flexible applications of all topologies.

Electromechanical coupling driving control for single-shaft parallel hybrid powertrain

The single-shaft parallel hybrid powertrain with the automatic mechanical transmission(AMT)is an efficient hybrid driving system in the hybrid electric bus(HEB),while the electromechanical coupling driving control becomes a complicated question to find a transient optimal control method to distribute the power between the engine and the electric machine(EM).This paper proposes an innovative control method to deal with the complicated transient coupling driving process of the electromechanical coupling driving system,considering the accelerating condition and the cruising condition mostly in the city driving cycle of HEB.The EM might be operated at driving mode or generating mode to assist the diesel engine to work in its high-efficiency area.Therefore,the adaptive torque tracking controller has been brought forward to ensure that the EM implements the demand torque as well as compensate the torque fluctuation of diesel engine.The d?q axis mathematical model and back stepping method are employed to deduce the adaptive controller and its adaptive laws.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control scheme can make the output torque of two power sources respond rapidly to the demand torque from the powertrain in the given driving condition.The proposed method could be adopted in the real control of HEB to improve the efficiency of the hybrid driving system.
