Negative thermal expansion: Mechanisms and materials

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) of materials is an intriguing phenomenon challenging the concept of traditional lattice dynamics and of importance for a variety of applications. Progresses in this field develop markedly and update continuously our knowledge on the NTE behavior of materials. In this article, we review the most recent understandings on the underlying mechanisms (anharmonic phonon vibration, magnetovolume effect, ferroelectrorestriction and charge transfer) of thermal shrinkage and the development of NTE materials under each mechanism from both the theoretical and experimental aspects. Besides the low frequency optical phonons which are usually accepted as the origins of NTE in framework structures, NTE driven by acoustic phonons and the interplay between anisotropic elasticity and phonons are stressed. Based on the data documented, some problems affecting applications of NTE materials are discussed and strategies for discovering and design novel framework structured NET materials are also presented.     

晚期HEMP作用下铁路牵引供电系统GIC算法研究

高空核爆电磁脉冲晚期效应（E₃）会引起地磁场剧烈变化并形成地面感应电场。感应电场等效为激励源与地面长距离导体和大地构成回路,产生地磁感应电流 （GIC）。GIC可引起牵引供电系统中变压器直流偏磁,从而严重威胁牵引供电系统的安全运行。本文基于平面波理论、分层大地电导率模型并结合牵引供电系统的电路模型,提出E₃作用下的牵引供电系统GIC算法,并以带回流线的直接供电方式的铁路牵引供电系统为例,首次计算了系统GIC情况。结果表明,该供电方式下牵引供电系统中的GIC远大于系统中变压器等设备的耐受值,为进一步研究E₃作用下牵引供电系统效应及我国铁路设备选型、灾害防治等提供支撑。

基于维纳滤波的同轴电缆脉冲信号传输畸变补偿研究

由于同轴电缆的低通传输特性,脉冲信号在同轴电缆中传输时不可避免地会出现畸变,并且畸变程度会随着脉冲信号频率、带宽以及传输距离的增加而增大。创新性地将图像处理领域中的一种图像复原方法——维纳滤波法应用于脉冲信号同轴电缆传输畸变补偿,仅利用同轴电缆的S参数和输出信号即可完成输入信号的重构。并以10 m同轴电缆为对象,采用该方法分别对双指数脉冲信号、高斯调制脉冲信号、调制方波信号进行传输畸变补偿。结果表明：对于不同样式的信号,该方法均具有优异的补偿性能;并且,与工程上常用的衰减补偿法相比,该方法不仅补偿精度高,还具有高的计算效率,在同轴电缆脉冲信号传输畸变补偿中具有很好的实用价值。     

Universality of entropy principle for a general diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theory

Thermodynamics plays an important role in gravitational theories. It is a principle that is independent of gravitational dynamics, and there is still no rigorous proof to show that it is consistent with the dynamical principle. We consider a self-gravitating perfect fluid system with the general diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theory. Based on the Noether charge method proposed by Iyer and Wald, considering static off/on-shell variational configurations, which satisfy the gravitational constraint equation, we rigorously prove that the extrema of the total entropy of a perfect fluid inside a compact region for a fixed total particle number demands that the static configuration is an on-shell solution after we introduce some appropriate boundary conditions, i.e., it also satisfies the spatial gravitational equations. This means that the entropy principle of the fluid stores the same information as the gravitational equation in a static configuration. Our proof is universal and holds for any diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theories, such as Einstein gravity, \begin{document}$ f(R)$\end{document} gravity, Lovelock gravity, f(Gauss-Bonnet) gravity and Einstein-Weyl gravity. Our result indicates the consistency between ordinary thermodynamics and gravitational dynamics.     

A Novel Feature Extraction Method for Power Transformer Vibration Signal Based on CEEMDAN and Multi-Scale Dispersion Entropy

Effective diagnosis of vibration fault is of practical significance to ensure the safe and stable operation of power transformers. Aiming at the traditional problems of transformer vibration fault diagnosis, a novel feature extraction method based on complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and multi-scale dispersion entropy (MDE) was proposed. In this paper, CEEMDAN method is used to decompose the original transformer vibration signal. Additionally, then MDE is used to capture multi-scale fault features in the decomposed intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Next, the principal component analysis (PCA) method is employed to reduce the feature dimension and extract the effective information in vibration signals. Finally, the simplified features are sent into density peak clustering (DPC) to get the fault diagnosis results. The experimental data analysis shows that CEEMDAN-MDE can effectively extract the information of the original vibration signals and DPC can accurately diagnose the types of transformer faults. By comparing different algorithms, the practicability and superiority of this proposed method are verified.
