Control of Sudden Death of Entanglement by Transient Effects

We investigate the properties of entanglement between an isolated atom and a Jaynes-Cummings atom in the presence of transient effects. These effects are due to the modulation of the atom-field coupling whose explicit time-dependence is considered for the case of the linear sweep. We show that the sudden death of entanglement can be controlled by the transient effects. These effects can suppress the sudden death of entanglement in time.

Transient Characteristics of a High-Capacity Centrifugal Pump during Rapidly Regulating Discharge Valve

In order to reveal the instantaneous characteristics of a high-capacity centrifugal pump during rapidly regulating discharge valve,theoretical analysis and numerical simulation are employed.The transient characteristics of the pump model under off-design condition were theoretically analyzed based on the generalized basic equation of vane pumps.The study showed that a centrifugal pump with radial straight blades at off-design condition almost had no transient effect,whereas a centrifugal pump with common backward-curved blades had transient effects that were directly related to the regularity of adjusting flowrate.Calculation examples show that transient effects are insignificant.The finite volume method and re-normalization group(RNG)κ-ε turbulence model were adopted to accomplish a 3D numerical calculation of a mediumspecific-speed centrifugal pump under the off-design condition.The transient process at the off-design condition is mainly caused by the time-varying intrinsic pulsation from the stator-rotor interference and by the time-varying consequent pulsation from the changes in flow rate.

Multi-Electron Effects in Attosecond Transient Absorption of CO Molecules

Using the fully propagated time-dependent Hartree–Fock method, we identify that both the dynamic core polarization and multiorbital contributions are important in the attosecond transient absorption of CO molecules.The dynamics of core electrons effectively modifies the behaviors of electrons in the highest occupied molecular orbital, resulting in the modulation of intensity and position of the absorption peaks. Depending on the alignment angles, different inner orbitals are identified to contribute, and even dominate the total absorption spectra. As a result, multi-electron fingerprints are encoded in the absorption spectra, which shed light on future applications of attosecond transient absorption in complex systems.

TRANSIENT EFFECT OF A BOGER FLUID FLOWING AROUND A CONFINED CYLINDER

This paper is concerned with the numerical simulation of the transient effect of an inertialess Boger flow past a confined circular cylinder and the comparison of predictions with particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements given by Shiang et al.. Dynamic simulation based on the Oldroyd-B constitutive model was carried out using a Lagrangian-Eulerian algorithm. The evolution of velocity field was obtained for the flow at two Deborah (De) numbers, i.e. De = 1.2 and 3.0. At low De, the flow reached steady state rapidly, and showed a symmetric flow regime. However, at high De, the time required to reach steady flow behind the cylinder increased significantly, and the distribution of the velocity field appears to be asymmetric with respect to the stagnation line. Fairly good agreement between the numerical results and the experimental observations is reported. It can be concluded that both the experimental measurements and the present simulations indicate that the elasticity of the polymeric flow strongly affect the flow regime of viscoelastic flow around a confined cylinder.

Simulation of continuous terahertz wave transient state thermal effects on static water

We report a numerical simulation of continuous terahertz beam induced transient thermal effects on static water. The terahertz wave used in this paper has a Gaussian beam profile. Based on the transient heat conduction equation, the finite element method （FEM） is utilized to calculate the temperature distribution. The simulation results show the dynamic process of temperature change in water during terahertz irradiation. After about 300 s, the temperature reaches a steady state with a water layer thickness of 5 mm and a beam radius of 0.25 mm. The highest temperature increase is 7 K/mW approximately. This work motivates further study on the interaction between terahertz wave and bio-tissue, which has a high water content.

Analytical solution for a circular roadway considering the transient effect of excavation unloading

The rocks surrounding a roadway exhibit some special and complex phenomena with increasing depth of excavation in underground engineering.Quasi-static analysis cannot adequately explain these engineering problems.The computational model of a circular roadway considering the transient effect of excavation unloading is established for these problems.The time factor makes the solution of the problem difficult.Thus,the computational model is divided into a dynamic model and a static model.The Laplace integral transform and inverse transform are performed to solve the dynamic model and elasticity theory is used to analyze the static model.The results from an example show that circumferential stress increases and radial stress decreases with time.The stress difference becomes large gradually in this progress.The displacement increases with unloading time and decreases with the radial depth of surrounding rocks.It can be seen that the development trend of unloading and displacement is similar by comparing their rates.Finally,the results of ANSYS are used to verify the analytical solution.The contrast indicates that the laws of the two methods are basically in agreement.Thus,the analysis can provide a reference for further study.

Heat transfer enhancement in MOSFET mounted on different FR4 substrates by thermal transient measurement

Miniaturization of electronic package leads to high heat density and heat accumulation in electronics device, resulting in short life time and premature failure of the device. Junction temperature and thermal resistance are the critical parameters that determine the thermal management and reliability in electronics cooling. Metal oxide field effect transistor（MOSFET）is an important semiconductor device for light emitting diode-integrated circuit（LED IC） driver application, and thermal management in MOSFET is a major challenge. In this study, investigations on thermal performance of MOSFET are performed for evaluating the junction temperature and thermal resistance. Suitable modifications in FR4 substrates are proposed by introducing thermal vias and copper layer coating to improve the thermal performance of MOSFET. Experiments are conducted using thermal transient tester（T3ster） at 2.0 A input current and ambient temperature varying from25℃ to 75℃. The thermal parameters are measured for three proposed designs： FR4 with circular thermal vias, FR4 with single strip of copper layer and embedded vias, and FR4 with I-shaped copper layer, and compared with that of plain FR4 substrate. From the experimental results, FR4I-shaped shows promising results by 33.71% reduction in junction temperature and 54.19% reduction in thermal resistance. For elevated temperature, the relative increases in junction temperature and thermal resistance are lower for FR4I-shaped than those for other substrates considered. The introduction of thermal vias and copper layer plays a significant role in thermal performance.

Testing and modelling of transient adhesion phenomena in rolling-sliding contacts

Transient adhesion effects in rolling–sliding contacts influence all aspects of train–track interaction.This is of high importance specifically when these effects result in critically low adhesion,which poses a risk to traction and braking of railway vehicles.This study presents a model that can replicate the transient changes of the coefficient of adhesion with tested water and solid particle mix.The experimental data for the model are measured using a commercial ball-on-disc tribometer.The experimental results showed a liquid reservoir in front of the contact area that slowly reduces in size.This observation was used in the modelling approach to divide the calculation into two stages where the reservoir is present and when it disappears.The model was able to reproduce the occurrence of low adhesion region seen in experimental results with different particle concentrations.

Investigation on the Fire Resistance of Cellular Steel Beam with Sinusoidal Openings

This paper investigated the fire resistance of CSBs with various parameters under high temperature rise due to fire using finite element software ABAQUS. The mechanical parameters of CSBs are analyzed, including load-bearing capacity and the temperature distribution during the heating process. Through structural analysis simulation of the entire heating process, the structural response of the CSBs is divided into five stages: elastic stage, elastic-plastic stage, self-balancing stage, catenary stage and ultimate destruction stage. The results indicate that the opening diameter-to-height ratio, opening spacing-to-height ratio and load ratio significantly affect the structural responses of CSBs in fire, followed by opening shape as secondary effects. In all the numerical analyzes, CSBs are analyzed with a uniformly distributed load and having simply supported boundary conditions.

Multi-field dynamic modeling and numerical simulation of aluminum alloy resistance spot welding

In order to explore the influence of welding parameters and to investigate the Al alloy (AA) nugget formation process, a comprehensive model involving electrical-thermal-mechanical and metallurgical analysis was established to numerically display the resistance spot welding (RSW) process within multiple fields and understand the AA-RSW physics. A multi-disciplinary finite element method (FEM) framework and a empirical sub-model were built to analyze the affecting factors on weld nugget and the underlying nature of welding physics with dynamic simulation procedure. Specifically, a counter-intuitive phenomenon of the resistance time-variation caused by the transient inverse virtual variation (TIVV) effect was highlighted and analyzed on the basis of welding current and temperature distribution simulation. The empirical model describing the TIVV phenomenon was used for modifying the dynamic resistance simulation during the AA spot welding process. The numerical and experimental results show that the proposed multi-field FEM model agrees with the measured AA welding feature, and the modified dynamic resistance model captures the physics of nugget growth and the electrical-thermal behavior under varying welding current and fluctuating heat input.

Axial effect analysis of relativistic electron beam propagation in vacuum

In geostationary orbits and other quasi-vacuum environments,relativistic electron beams are affected by the initial emittance and space charge effects during the propagation process,resulting in beam quality degradation.Furthermore,axial energy distribution change in the beam and the axial transient electromagnetic effect caused by current changes in the head and tail regions of the beam also cause the beam to expand and affect its quality.In this study,the particle-in-cell method was used to construct a long-range propagation model of a relativistic electron beam in a vacuum environment.By calculating and simulating the axial energy distribution of the beam and the changes in the transient electromagnetic field,the axial effect during the propagation process was analyzed,and the parameter change law of the effective propagation of the beam was explored.This provided a theoretical reference for a more accurate assessment of the beam quality during propagation.

Concentration dependent nonlinear refraction in chloroaluminum phthalocyanine/ethanol solution

Nonlinear refractive properties of chloroaluminum phthalocyanine （CAP） in ethanol solution are studied using the Z-scan technique with picosecond （ps） and nanosecond （ns） laser pulses at a wavelength of 532nm. A transition from self-focusing to self-defocusing in CAP solution excited by 10 ns pulses is observed during the decrease of its concentration.This transition is due to co-existing excited-state refraction and transient thermal lensing effects.The experimental results are described very well using the rate-equation model and the theory of transient thermal refraction in liquids.The refractive cross sections of the excited-state are also obtained.

PIPBQ Effect Aware SER Analysis for Combinational Logic Circuits

Technology scaling results in the propagation-induced pulse broadening and quenching（PIPBQ） effect become more noticeable.In order to effectively evaluate the soft error rate for combinational logic circuits,a soft error rate analysis approach considering the PIPBQ effect is proposed.As different original pulse propagating through logic gate cells,pulse broadening and quenching are measured by HSPICE.After that,electrical effect look-up tables（EELUTs） for logic gate cells are created to evaluate the PIPBQ effect.Sensitized paths are accurately retrieved by the proposed re-convergence aware sensitized path search algorithm.Further,by propagating pulses on these paths to simulate fault injection,the PIPBQ effect on these paths can be quantified by EELUTs.As a result,the soft error rate of circuits can be effectively computed by the proposed technique.Simulation results verify the soft error rate improvement comparing with the PIPBQ-not-aware method.

Experimental research on transient radiation effects in microprocessors based on SPARC-V8 architecture

An experimental system is developed for the transient radiation effects testing of an anti-radiation hardened processor. Based on this system, the transient radiation effects in a microprocessor based on SPARC-V8 architecture was investigated. The dose-rate-soft-error index parameters of the processor were determined according to the test results, as were the influences on the function and timing parameters of the processor. The power supply balance is affected, which caused the system to reset and be the main source of soft errors. The results showed the circuit recovery time is primarily determined by the internal PLL, while the core power and the output-low-IO ports are more sensitive to the transient dose rate effect. The power-integrity-hardened design is proposed to mitigate the transient radiation effect.

Direct detection of the transient superresolution effect of nonlinear saturation absorption thin films

Using a strong nonlinear saturation absorption effect is one technique for breaking through the diffraction limit. In this technique, formation of a dynamic and reversible optical pinhole channel and transient superresolution is critical. In this work, a pump–probe transient detection and observation–experimental setup is constructed to explore the formation process directly. A Ge2Sb2Te5 thin film with strong nonlinear saturation absorption is investigated. The dynamic evolution of the optical pinhole channel is detected and imaged, and the transient superresolution spot is directly captured experimentally. Results verify that the superresolution effect originates from the generation of an optical pinhole channel and that the formation of the optical pinhole channel is dynamic and reversible. A good method is provided for direct detection and observation of the transient process of the superresolution effect of nonlinear thin films.
