On the tribological characteristics of dynamically loaded journal bearing with micropolar fluids

The addition of the additives to the lubricant oil to enhance the characteristics of the lubricant will influence the performance of the bearings. Based on the theory of micropolar fluids, the tribological characteristics of a dynamically-loaded journal bearing are numerically studied. Comparisons are made between the Newtonian fluids and the micropolar fluids. It is shown that for a dynamically-loaded journal bearing, the micropolar fluids yield an increase not only in the friction force, but also in the friction coefficient. In addition, the oil film pressure and the oil film thickness are obviously higher than that of Newtonian fluids.     

Study of131Ba decay

Singles and coincidence spectra of gamma rays emitted in the decay of¹³¹Ba(11.8d) have been studied with improved statistics. The existence of the level at 1342.07 keV and gamma transitions at 82.58, 461.22, 562.87, 703.53, 1046.4, 1125.97, 1170.53, 1208.43 and 1342.02 keV have been confirmed. Thirteen previously unreported gamma rays at 390.1, 474.2, 506.1, 517.5, 533.7, 596.5, 657.6, 745.5, 757.0, 785.92, 840.9, 1037.0 and 1218.30 keV have been identified and seven new coincidence relations are reported. The level at 596.4 keV is proposed based on coincidence evidence and the level at 657.6 keV is tentatively proposed on the basis of energy differences. All the 62 gamma rays observed in this study have been placed into the decay scheme.     

等离子体羽中氧原子的光谱强度分布

大气压等离子体羽放电产生的低温等离子体由于不需要真空装置,可以对复杂材料进行三维处理等,在工业上具有广泛的应用前景。本工作利用等离子体针放电装置在大气压空气中产生了稳定的等离子体羽。通过光谱测量,发现等离子体羽发射谱中存在777.5和844.6nm的氧原子谱线。这表明在大气压空气放电中产生了具有高化学活性的氧原子。通过光谱学方法研究了氧原子谱线强度的空间分布,发现靠近电极处氧原子谱线强度远大于其他位置。为了对这一现象进行解释,利用光电倍增管对等离子体羽的发光信号进行了空间分辨测量,发现靠近电极处发光信号宽度远大于其他位置的发光信号宽度。这些结果对大气压空气等离子体羽在杀菌消毒等领域的应用具有重要意义。     

Stabilized fiber-optic extrinsic Fabry–Perot sensor system for acoustic emission measurement

A fiber-optic Fabry–Perot (F–P) acoustic emission (AE) sensor system based on an improved double wavelength stabilization technique is described. Without stabilization, the sensor system drifts out of quadrature due to the presence of low-frequency dynamic strains. The stabilization is achieved by using a dense wavelength division multiplexer (DWDM) to generate two quadrature phase-shifted output signals. An optimum model of double wavelength stabilization is established. The filtering wavelengths of DWDM are calculated using an optimization design method. The performance of the developed sensor system was verified by two preliminary tests. One was a test on the stabilization of operating point of fiber-optic F–P sensor, and other was the detection of simulated AE signals generated by the impact and pencil lead breaking. The test results demonstrate that simulated AE signals are successfully detected using this stabilized sensor system, which solves the fade-out problem.     

Prolate and Oblate Shape Coexistence in 188Pt

A standard in-beam γ-spectroscopy experiment for ¹⁸⁸Pt is performed via the¹⁷⁶Yb(¹⁸O, 6n) reaction at beam energies of 88 and 95MeV, and the level scheme for ¹⁸⁸Pt is established. Prolate and oblate shape coexistence has been demonstrated to occur in ¹⁸⁸Pt by applying the projected shell model. The rotation alignment of i_13/2 neutrons drives the yrast sequence changingsuddenly from prolate to oblate shape at angular momentum 10h, indicating likely a new type of shape phase transition along the yrast line in ¹⁸⁸Pt.     

Model independent control of lightly damped noise/vibration systems

Feedforward control is a popular strategy of active noise/vibration control. In well-damped noise/vibration systems, path transfer functions from actuators to sensors can be modeled by finite impulse response (FIR) filters with negligible errors. It is possible to implement noninvasive model independent feedforward control by a recently proposed method called orthogonal adaptation. In lightly damped noise/vibration systems, however, path transfer functions have infinite impulse responses (IIRs) that cause difficulties in design and implementation of broadband feedforward controllers. A major source of difficulties is model error if IIR path transfer functions are approximated by FIR filters. In general, active control performance deteriorates as model error increases. In this study, a new method is proposed to design and implement model independent feedforward controllers for broadband in lightly damped noise/vibration systems. It is shown analytically that the proposed method is able to drive the convergence of a noninvasive model independent feedforward controller to improve broadband control in lightly damped noise/vibration systems. The controller is optimized in the minimum H2 norm sense. Experiment results are presented to verify the analytical results.     

水面油污染物差分偏振光谱信号预处理算法研究

采用差分偏振光谱法在3～5μm波段对水面溢油污染物进行被动遥感时,所测差分偏振光谱是含有强大气吸收光谱信号与油污染物目标弱光谱信号的混合谱,这给油污染物光谱特征识别带来了困难。另外,受环境因素以及油膜自身张力影响,水面油膜厚度分布以及油膜表面粗糙度在测量过程中发生变化,从而使得连续测量的差分偏振光谱中油污染物光谱信息含量存在不同。利用这一特点,基于固定点迭代的快速主成分分析算法FastPCA设计了水面溢油污染物差分偏振光谱信号预处理算法。实验结果表明,该算法可以有效地将水面油污染物目标光谱特征信息从具有强大气吸收的混合差分偏振光谱信号中提取出来,通过光谱重构得到油污染物光谱特征信号,可用于进一步的定性、定量分析。     

Metallic state in cubic FeGe beyond its quantum phase transition

We report on results of electrical resistivity and structural investigations on the cubic modification of FeGe under high pressure. The long-wavelength helical order (T(C) = 280 K) is suppressed at a critical pressure p(c) approximately 19 GPa. An anomaly at T(X)(p) and strong deviations from a Fermi-liquid behavior in a wide pressure range above p(c) suggest that the suppression of T(C) disagrees with the standard notion of a quantum critical phase transition. The metallic ground state persisting at high pressure can be described by band-structure calculations if zero-point motion is included. The shortest FeGe interatomic distance display discontinuous changes in the pressure dependence close to the T(C)(p) phase line.     

Topological Structure of Vortex Solution in Jackiw-Pi Model

By using φ-mapping method, we discuss the topological structure of the self-duality solution in Jackiw-Pi model in terms of gauge potential decomposition. We set up relationship between Chern-Simons vortex solution and topological number, which is determined by Hopf index and Brouwer degree. We also give the quantization of flux in this case. Then, we study the angular momentum of the vortex, which can be expressed in terms of the flux.
