《数值流形法》序

得知郑宏教授的《数值流形法》即将脱稿,激动之情难以言表.我完全同意郑教授将流形法的特点归结为“升阶”和“切割”.受郑教授的委托,我愿在此将建立流形法的历程做一简单的回忆.其实早在1985年———也就是在我完成不连续变形分析法(DDA)之前,“升阶”在我心中已完全成熟.“升阶”似乎能取得一致收敛,弥补有限元只能按能量收敛的缺憾.我没有急于发表是因为一直没能想到令我满意的解决“不连续”的办法.起初曾想过在DDA块体上引入高阶多项式,或在块体上再划网格,也就是用分片多项式来提高DDA块体的变形精度.但我对这些方案都不甚满意,因为实际计算时多项式的阶数会受到限制,引入网格又会招致有限元既有的毛病——解的精度受控于网格质量.     

高熵合金的力学性能及变形行为研究进展

高熵合金是近年来提出的一种新的合金设计理念,打破了一般合金中以1种或2种元素为主,辅以极少量其他元素来改善合金性能的传统思想,由多种元素以等原子或近似等原子比混合后形成具有独特原子结构特征的单一固溶体合金.高熵合金的多主元特性使其在变形过程中表现出多重机制(包括位错机制、形变孪生、相变等)的协同,因而高熵合金已经展示了优异的力学性能,如高强、高硬、高塑性、抗高温软化、抗辐照、耐磨等,被认为是最具有应用潜力的新型高性能金属结构材料,已经成为国际固体力学和材料科学领域研究的热点.本文首先介绍了高熵合金独特的结构特征,即具有短程有序结构和严重的晶格畸变;随后对近年来针对不同类型高熵合金(包括具有面心立方相、体心立方相、密排六方相、多相以及亚稳态高熵合金)力学性能、变形行为方面的研究成果,特别是强韧化机制以及相关的原子尺度模拟,进行了较为系统的综述;最后强调了高熵合金未来研究中所面临的一些主要问题和挑战,并对其研究进行了展望.     

基于视频序列的虚拟人渲染方法

针对肢体动作有限的虚拟人仿真系统,提出了一种基于视频序列的虚拟人渲染方法。首先利用建模工具获取关键表情和口型的脸部模型,并对脸部模型进行预处理,在选取脸部模型后,采用基于模型的脸部姿态估计算法,将其叠加到包含肢体动作的图片上以生成具有新表情的图片;然后利用图像变形技术逐次生成含有虚拟表情的图像序列,并将图像序列转换为视频,通过播放视频渲染出逼真的虚拟人。实验结果表明,渲染得到的虚拟人的真实度有了明显的提高。

碱性电解液中K3[Fe(CN)6]在锌阳极上的自发还原和吸附延长锌镍电池的循环寿命

In view of the continuously worsening environmental problems, fossil fuels will not be able to support the development of human life in the future. Hence, it is of great importance to work on the efficient utilization of cleaner energy resources. In this case, cheap, reliable, and eco-friendly grid-scale energy storage systems can play a key role in optimizing our energy usage. When compared with lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries, the excellent safety, environmental benignity, and low toxicity of aqueous Zn-based batteries make them competitive in the context of large-scale energy storage. Among the various Zn-based batteries, due to a high open-circuit voltage and excellent rate performance, Zn-Ni batteries have great potential in practical applications. Nevertheless, the intrinsic obstacles associated with the use of Zn anodes in alkaline electrolytes, such as dendrite, shape change, passivation, and corrosion, limit their commercial application. Hence, we have focused our current efforts on inhibiting the corrosion and dissolution of Zn species. Based on a previous study from our research group, the failure of the Zn-Ni battery was caused by the shape change of the Zn anode, which stemmed from the dissolution of Zn and uneven current distribution on the anode. Therefore, for the current study, we selected K₃[Fe(CN)₆] as an electrolyte additive that would help minimize the corrosion and dissolution of the Zn anode. In the alkaline electrolyte, [Fe(CN)₆]^3– was reduced to [Fe(CN)₆]^4– by the metallic Zn present in the Zn-Ni battery. Owing to its low solubility in the electrolyte, K₄[Fe(CN)₆] adhered to the active Zn anode, thereby inhibiting the aggregation and corrosion of Zn. Ultimately, the shape change of the anode was effectively eliminated, which improved the cycling life of the Zn-Ni battery by more than three times (i.e., from 124 cycles to more than 423 cycles). As for capacity retention, the Zn-Ni battery with the pristine electrolyte only exhibited 40% capacity retention after 85 cycles, while the Zn-Ni battery with the modified electrolyte (i.e., containing K₃[Fe(CN)₆]) showed 72% capacity retention. Moreover, unlike conventional organic additives that increase electrode polarization, the addition of K₃[Fe(CN)₆] not only significantly reduced the charge-transfer resistance in a simplified three-electrode system, but also improved the discharge capacity and rate performance of the Zn-Ni battery. Importantly, considering that this strategy was easy to achieve and minimized additional costs, K₃[Fe(CN)₆], as an electrolyte additive with almost no negative effect, has tremendous potential in commercial Zn-Ni batteries.
