The important test results which contain the damage of vehicles and barrier,the moving locus of vehicle,the occupant risk index,the maximum dynamic deformation, etc,were obtained through the analysis under the different collision speeds. These provide the necessary reference basis for the further research on the structure topology optimization and improve the comprehensive constraint performance to the flexible barrier.展开更多

Since topological indices can be derived directly from the molecular structure without any experimental effort, they provide a simple and straightforward method for property prediction. In this work the flash point of alkanes was modeled by a set of molecular connectivity indices (Х), modified molecular connectivity indices ( ^mХ^v ) and valance molecular connectivity indices ( ^mХ^v ), with ^mХ^v calculated using the hydrogen perturbation. A stepwise Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) method was used to select the best indices. The predicted flash points are in good agreement with the experimental data, with the average absolute deviation 4.3 K.展开更多

This paper presents a new FESS based on three-phase boost inverter topology. The proposed system facilitates voltage boost capability directly in a single-stage. The main advantage of the three-phase boost inverter is the deployment of only six switches and undersized passive elements to obtain a boosted AC output voltage weighed against the input DC supply. In this paper, FESS based on boost inverter topology is modeled and simulated using MATLAB/S1MULINK. An experimental setup has been built for the three-phase boost inverter to present its boosting capability. The simulation and experimental results sustain the proposed configuration.展开更多

Like two- and three-dimensional ones, Onedimensional systems are important in a complete understanding of the topological properties. One-dimensional topological phases have been realized using current experimental setups. Specially the signatures of Majorana fermions have been observed in onedimensional topological superconductors engineered with Rashiba nanowires. From the many studies, the paper reviews typical theoretical models of one-dimensional topological insulators and superconductors. For one-dimensional topological insulators, we introduce the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger, superlattices and Creutz models, while for topological superconductors the Kitaev model and Rashiba nanowire are introduced. These models not only provide an overview of one-dimensional topological phases, but also are the starting points for further studies.展开更多

In honeycomb lattice, domain walls(DWs) with gapless topological kink states could be induced either by sublattice symmetry breaking or by lattice deformation. We find that the coexistence of these two mechanisms will induce DWs with gapped topological kink states. Significantly, the intersection of these two types of DWs gives rise to topological corner state localized at the crossing point.Through the manipulation of the DWs, we show AG with honeycomb lattice structure not only a versatile platform supporting multiple topological corner modes in a controlled manner, but also possessing promising applications such as fabricating topological quantum dots composed of gapped topological kink states and topological corner states.展开更多

This artificial TSC, first proposed by Fu and Kane in 2008, is a heterostructure made of a topological insulator BiETe3 and an s-wave superconductor NbSe2. This paper will briefly review the experimental progresses based on the Bi2Te3/NbSe2 heterostructure. All evidences are self-consistent and reveal that the MZM exists in the center of vortex. Those experimental results are also supported by theory. This finding is a milestone in the research ofMajorana fermions in solid state physics and a starting point of MZM's application in topological quantum computation.展开更多
