Thermal-hydro-mechanical coupling stress intensity factor of brittle rock

A new calculation formula of THM coupling stress intensity factor was derived by the boundary collocation method, in which an additional constant stress function was successfully introduced for the cracked specimen with hydraulic pressure applied on its crack surface. Based on the newly derived formula, THM coupling fracture modes （including tensile, shear and mixed fracture mode） can be predicted by a new fracture criterion of stress intensity factor ratio, where the maximum axial load was measured by self-designed THM coupling fracture test. SEM analyses of THM coupling fractured surface indicate that the higher the temperature and hydraulic pressure are and the lower the confining pressure is, the more easily the intergranular （tension） fracture occurs. The transgranular （shear） fracture occurs in the opposite case while the mixed-mode fracture occurs in the middle case. The tested THM coupling fracture mechanisms are in good agreement with the predicted THM coupling fracture modes, which can verify correction of the newly-derived THM coupling stress intensity factor formula.

Vibration control of pedestrian-bridge vertical dynamic coupling interaction based on biodynamic model

The human-induced vertical vibration serviceability of low-frequency and lightweight footbridges is studied based on the moving mass-spring-damper（MMSD） biodynamic model, and the mass damper（TMD） with different optimal model parameters being used to control the vertical vibration.First, the MMSD biodynamic model is employed to simulate the pedestrians, and the time-varying control equations of the vertical dynamic coupling system of the pedestrian-bridgeTMD are established with the consideration of pedestrianbridge dynamic interaction; and the equations are solved by using the Runge-Kutta-Felhberg integral method with variable step size. Secondly, the footbridge dynamic response is calculated under the model of pedestrian-structure dynamic interaction and the model of moving load when the pedestrian pace frequency is consistent with the natural frequency of footbridge. Finally, a comparative study and analysis are made on the control effects of the vertical dynamic coupling system in different optimal models of the TMD. The calculation results show that the pedestrian-bridge dynamic interaction cannot be ignored when the vertical human-induced vibration serviceability of low-frequency and light-weight footbridge is evaluated. The TMD can effectively reduce the vibration under the resonance of pedestrian-bridge, and TMD parameters are recommended for the determination by the Warburton optimization model.

Hyperchaos behaviors and chaos synchronization of two unidirectional coupled simplified Lorenz systems

To design a hyperchaotic generator and apply chaos into secure communication, a linear unidirectional coupling control is applied to two identical simplified Lorenz systems. The dynamical evolution process of the coupled system is investigated with variations of the system parameter and coupling coefficients. Particularly, the influence of coupling strength on dynamics of the coupled system is analyzed in detail. The range of the coupling strength in which the coupled system can generate hyperchaos or realize synchronization is determined, including phase portraits, Lyapunov exponents, and Poincare section. And the critical value of the system parameter between hyperchaos and synchronization is also found with fixed coupled strength. In addition, abundant dynamical behaviors such as four-wing hyperchaotic, two-wing chaotic, single-wing coexisting attractors and periodic orbits are observed and chaos synchronization error curves are also drawn by varying system parameter c. Numerical simulations are implemented to verify the results of these investigations.

A METHOD OF CALCULATING PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION OF PERIODIC PULSATION FLUID TRANSPORTED IN PIPING NETWORK

The pressure pulsation induced by the pumped periodic pulsation fluid is the main factor of causing fluid resonance and stimulating pipelines vibrations and noise. In order to reduce the faults caused by the vibrations of pipelines, two aspects have been researched: one is to develop high quality filters, weaken and restrain the crest of pulsation pressure; the other is to design structural parameters of the piping network and eliminate the fluid resonance. Both need calculating the pressure pulsations of different structural parameters and frequencies, and knowing the amplitude frequency. In this paper the stiffness matrix technique is used for treating the coupling of subsystems of pipelines and calculating the pressure distribution of the piping network and it is tested by simulation and experiments.

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.

Density matrix of two interacting particles with kinetic coupling derived in bipartite entangled state representation

A density matrix is usually obtained by solving the Bloch equation, however only a few Hamiltonians＇ density matrices can be analytically derived. The density matrix for two interacting particles with kinetic coupling is hard to derive by the usual method due to this coupling; this paper solves this problem by using the bipartite entangled state representation.

Coupled effects of stress damage and drilling fluid on strength of hard brittle shale

During well drilling process,original stress state of hard brittle shale will be changed due to stress redistribution and concentration,which leads to stress damage phenomenon around the borehole.Consequently,drilling fluid will invade into formation along the tiny cracks induced by stress damage,and then weaken the strength of hard brittle shale.Based on this problem,a theoretical model was set up to discuss damage level of shale under uniaxial compression tests using acoustic velocity data.And specifically,considering the coupled effect of stress damage and drilling fluid,the relationship between hard brittle shale strength and elapsed time was analyzed.

Exponential Synchronization of Uncertain Complex Dynamical Networks with Delay Coupling

This paper studies the global exponential synchronization of uncertain complex delayed dynamical networks. The network model considered is general dynamical delay networks with unknown network structure and unknown coupling functions but bounded. Novel delay-dependent linear controllers are designed via the Lyapunov stability theory. Especially, it is shown that the controlled networks are globally exponentially synchronized with a given convergence rate. An example of typical dynamical network of this class, having the Lorenz system at each node, has been used to demonstrate and verify the novel design proposed. And, the numerical simulation results show the effectiveness of proposed synchronization approaches.

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.

An experimental investigation on decoupling performance for a lateral axis micromachined gyroscope with varying environmental parameters

This paper carries out an experiment study of decoupling performance for a novel lateral axis micromachined gyroscope with varying environmental parameters. The non-ideal mathematical model for the coupling mechanism of the gyroscope is estab-lished through the gyro dynamic response matrix. The coupling components varying with ambient pressure and temperature induced by stiffness coupling, damping coupling and electrostatic force coupling are semi-analytically discussed. The overall coupling ratio is evaluated via experiments in the custom-built installation. The testing results show that the decoupling per-formance of the gyroscope is sensitive to the environmental parameters and all the non-ideal errors are determined as a function of ambient pressure and temperature. The coupling error varies from 0.05% to 0.25% within the pressure range of 100 Pa-100 kPa. The characteristics of coupling with temperature are measured from 20℃ to 100℃ with a variation from 0.35% to 0.41%. The results also indicate that within the range of measured ambient pressure and temperature, the minimum coupling ratio occurs at 100 Pa and room temperature. The overall performance of the gyroscope is tested under the pressure of about 2000 Pa and room temperature to achieve a relatively low coupling ratio. The scale factor is measured to be 7.8 mV （°）-1 s-1 with nonlinearity about 0.45% in the full-scale range of 600 （°） s-1. The short-term bias stability is approximately 0.06 （°）s-1 （1σ） for 20 min with noise equivalent angular rate evaluated to be 0.077 （°） s-1 Hz-1/2.

A high-resolution Asia-Pacific regional coupled prediction system with dynamically downscaling coupled data assimilation

A regional coupled prediction system for the Asia-Pacific(AP-RCP)(38°E-180°,20°S-60°N) area has been established.The AP-RCP system consists of WRF-ROMS(Weather Research and Forecast,and Regional Ocean Model System) coupled models combined with local observational information through dynamically downscaling coupled data assimilation(CDA).The system generates 18-day forecasts for the atmosphere and ocean environment on a daily quasi-operational schedule at Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology(Qingdao)(QNLM),consisting of 2 different-resolution coupled models:27 km WRF coupled with 9 km ROMS,9 km WRF coupled with 3 km ROMS,while a version of 3 km WRF coupled with 3 km ROMS is in a test mode.This study is a first step to evaluate the impact of high-resolution coupled model with dynamically downscaling CDA on the extended-range predictions,focusing on forecasts of typhoon onset,improved precipitation and typhoon intensity forecasts as well as simulation of the Kuroshio current variability associated with mesoscale oceanic activities.The results show that for realizing the extended-range predictability of atmospheric and oceanic environment characterized by statistics of mesoscale activities,a fine resolution coupled model resolving local mesoscale phenomena with balanced and coherent coupled initialization is a necessary first step.The next challenges include improving the planetary boundary physics and the representation of air-sea and air-land interactions to enable the model to resolve kilometer or sub-kilometer processes.

Stability analysis of a hybrid flexible-rigid pipe conveying fluid

The stability and dynamical behavior of flexible and articulated rigid pipes conveying fluid have attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of fluid-structure interactions.The system of an articulated pipe composed of a flexible pipe and a rigid pipe is a class of hybrid flexible-rigid dynamical problems involving flow-induced vibrations.This paper establishes the governing equations of motion of a hybrid flexible-rigid pipe system based on Hamilton's principle,with the rigid pipe being hinged to the lower end of a flexible cantilevered pipe via a rotational spring.The coupling equations of motion are discretized via a Galerkin's approach.The mathematical model is validated by comparing the eigenvalue branches of a degenerated system by choosing extreme values of the parameters of the hybrid pipe with previous results.In the theoretical analysis,the critical flow velocities are calculated as a function of the stiffness of the rotational spring,mass ratio and length ratio of the rigid and flexible pipes.The unstable modes are detected from the eigenvalue branches and compared with those of a flexible cantilevered pipe.Numerical results show that the critical flow velocity is greatly influenced by several structural parameters.It is found that a small stiffness of the rotational spring tends to predict higher-mode instability,whereas a large rotational spring stiffness would generate a second-mode instability in most cases.In several system parameter spaces,the hybrid pipe may experience a transference of unstable modes with the increase of flow velocity.It is also shown that the hybrid pipe system may lose stability first in the fourth mode in some cases.Some of the fresh results obtained for the hybrid pipe system are expected to be helpful in understanding and controlling the dynamical responses of hybrid flexible-rigid fluid-conveying pipes.

Coupled thermal-mechanical analysis of two ITER-like first wall mockups under heat shock of plasma disruptions

The first wall of the fusion reactor is a plasma-facing component and is a key link to maintain the integrity of structure during thermal shock induced by plasma disruptions. Be and W/Cu functionally graded materials are two kinds of important plas- ma-facing materials （PFM） of first wall in fusion reactor currently. Previous researches seldom comparatively evaluated the normal servicing and heat shock resistance performance of first walls with those two kinds of PFMs. And also there lacks cou- pled thermal/mechanical analysis on the heat shock process in consideration of multiple thermal/mechanical phenomena, such as material melting, solidification, evaporation, etc., which is significant to further understand the heat shock damage mecha- nism of the first wall with different PFMs. With the aim of learning more detailed mechanical mechanism of thermal shock damage and then improving the thermal shock resistance performance of different first wall designs, the coupled ther- mal/mechanical response of two typical ITER-like first walls with PFM of Be and functionally graded W-Cu respectively un- der the heat shock of 1 2 GW/m2 are computed by the finite element method. Special considerations of elastic-plastic defor- mation, material melting, and solidification are included in numerical models and methods. The mechanical response behaviors of different structures and materials under the normal servicing operation as well as plasma disruption conditions are analyzed and investigated comparatively. The results reveal that heat is mainly deposited on the PFM layer in thc high energy shock pulse induced by plasma disruptions, resulting in complex thermal stress change as well as mechanical itTeversible damage of thermal elastic and plastic expansion, contraction and yielding. Compared with the first wall with Be PFM, which mitigates the damages from heat shock at most only in the PFM layer with cost of whole PFM layer plastic yielding, the first wall with graded W-Cu PFM is demonstrated to be possessed both of higher heat shock resistance performance and normal servicing performance, provided its material gradient and cooling capacity are well optimized under practical loading conditions.

Room-Temperature Steady-State Entanglement in a Four-Mode Optomechanical System

Stationary entanglement in a four-mode optomechanical system,especially under room-temperature,is discussed.In this scheme,when the coupling strengths between the two target modes and the mechanical resonator are equal,the results cannot be explained by the Bogoliubov-mode-based scheme.This is related to the idea of quantummechanics-free subspace,which plays an important role when the thermal noise of the mechanical modes is considered.Significantly prominent steady-state entanglement can be available under room-temperature.

SYNCHRONIZATION IN A RING OF UNIDIRECTIONALLY COUPLED FITZHUGH-NAGUMO NEURONS

Synchronization behavior of an ensemble of unidirectionally coupled neurons with a constant input is investigated. Chemical synapses are considered for coupling. Each neuron is also considered to be exposed to a self-delayed feedback. The synchronization phenomenon is analyzed by the error dynamics of the response trajectories of the system. The effect of various model parameters e.g. coupling strength, feedback gain and time delay, on synchronization is also investigated and a measure of synchrony is computed in each cases. It is shown that the synchronization is not only achieved by increasing the coupling strength, the system also required to have a suitable feedback gain and time delay for synchrony. Robustness of the parameters for synchrony is verified for larger systems.
