Wave-based analysis of dual acoustic black holes for anechoic termination of shock testing devices

Shock testing is an important issue for the survivability of an equipment under shock environment in aerospace and military industries. One of the problems faced in conventional shock testing devices is the need for redesigning of the geometry whenever the responses to different shock environments are tested. To circumvent the redesigning processes, a structure with two ‘acoustic black holes (ABHs)’ on both ends, referred to as the beam with dual ABHs, is proposed as a shock testing device. The beam with dual ABHs is capable of simulating diverse shock environments by controlling the applied force because it can be regarded as an infinite beam at high frequency range with the aid of the anechoic terminations by the ABHs. To systematically investigate the beam with dual ABHs, we develop a wave-based method that uses the reflection matrix of an ABH to perform free and forced vibration analyses. From the analyses on frequency response function and shock response spectrum of the beam with dual ABH, it is suggested that the beam with dual ABHs is feasible as a semi-permanent shock testing device.     

Morris-Lecar系统中通道噪声诱导的自发性动作电位研究

在生物物理学中, 越来越多的现象是由于分段确定性的动力系统与连续时间马氏过程之间的耦合作用而产生的. 因为这种耦合性, 相关的数学模型更适合取为随机混合系统而不是扩散过程(基于It?随机微分方程). 本文从理论上和数值上研究了在弱噪声条件下无鞍点状态的随机混合Morris-Lecar系统中, 由通道噪声诱导的自发性放电现象. 一个动作电位的初始阶段可视为噪声诱导的逃逸事件, 其最优路径和拟势可由辅助Hamilton系统给出. 由于系统不存在鞍点, 因此可选择虚拟分界线(ghost separatrix)为阈值, 研究噪声诱导的自静息态的逃逸事件. 通过计算在阈值处的拟势, 便可发现其值有一个明显的最小值, 其作用类似于鞍点. 通过改进的Monte Carlo模拟方法, 计算了历程概率分布, 其结果对初始阶段和兴奋阶段的理论解均给出了验证. 此外, 基于前人将拟势等高线作为阈值的另一种选择, 我们对两种阈值取法的优劣性进行了比较. 最后, 本文研究了钠离子和钾离子通道噪声的不同组合对最优路径和拟势的影响. 结果表明: 钾离子通道噪声在自发性放电过程中起主导作用, 且两种噪声强度存在一个最优比例能使总的噪声强度达到最小.      

平面波输入下海水-海床-结构动力相互作用分析

海洋工程结构的地震反应分析是保证海洋工程结构地震安全的重要环节.由于其所处的复杂环境, 该问题涉及到流固耦合和土-结相互作用.本文基于海水、饱和海床、基岩流固耦合统一计算框架,采用Davidenkov模型和修正的Masing准则考虑饱和海床的非线性,在脉冲SV波垂直入射下, 进行了海域场地和海洋工程结构的动力响应分析. 首先,对比分析了线性自由场和非线性自由场输入情形的海域场地非线性反应,结果表明线性自由场输入时反应不合理,自由场分析和场地分析应该采用相一致的本构模型. 然后,对比分析了海床分别为线性和非线性情形时,海域场地以及海水-海床-结构体系的反应特征. 与线性海床情形相比,非线性对海床反应的影响主要由如下两方面因素控制: 一方面,非线性导致饱和海床模量减小, 饱和海床与基岩间的波阻抗比减小,由基岩到饱和海床间的反射系数和透射系数增加, 导致反应增大; 另一方面,非线性导致阻尼加大, 使海床反应减小. 对于本文算例而言,阻尼对非线性海床结果的影响占主导作用.      

核电结构土-结相互作用分析分区混合计算方法

土-结构相互作用分析是核电结构进行抗震设计和安全评估的重要环节.在核电结构的土-结相互作用分析中,阻尼和非线性是影响结构反应的重要因素. 若采用频域分析,可以方便考虑阻尼,但需通过等效线性化来考虑非线性,不适合于强震作用下的土体非线性.若采用时域分析的逐步积分方法,适合于考虑非线性,但材料阻尼一般采用瑞利阻尼模型,除了紧靠指定阻尼比的少数几个振型外,其他振型的反应将受到瑞利阻尼模型所确定的大阻尼所抑制,造成地震反应与真实情形有较大差异.若采用时域分析的模态叠加法,可合理计入阻尼效应,但模态叠加法不能考虑非线性.因此,如何合理考虑阻尼和非线性是核电结构土-结相互作用分析需要关注的问题.基于此,本文提出一种模态叠加和时步积分结合的土-结相互作用分区算法.其中,出于安全性考虑,地震作用下核电主体结构一般不允许进入非线性,因此结构可采用模态叠加方法,以便合理考虑结构阻尼;土体和基础采用显式时步积分法,可考虑土体非线性;通过人工边界条件考虑无限域的影响 (辐射阻尼).通过简单算例对该方法进行了验证,并用于CAP1400核电结构的土-结相互作用分析中,对比分析了采用模态阻尼和瑞利阻尼时核电结构和场地反应的差异,结果表明结构阻尼模型对场地的反应影响不大,但对结构反应影响明显,在实际工程中应合理选取阻尼模型.      

A survey on HHL algorithm: From theory to application in quantum machine learning

The Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd (HHL) algorithm is a method to solve the quantum linear system of equations that may be found at the core of various scientific applications and quantum machine learning models including the linear regression, support vector machines and recommender systems etc. After reviewing the necessary background on elementary quantum algorithms, we provide detailed account of how HHL is exploited in different quantum machine learning (QML) models, and how it provides the desired quantum speedup in all these models. At the end, we briefly discuss some of the remaining challenges ahead for HHL-based QML models and related methods.

等离子体激励器的静特性与高速特性仿真研究

A parametric study of high-frequency plasma jet actuator was carried out, using the experiment- tally measured energy distribution law of arc discharge as an ideal heat source. The influence of the exit angle of the actuator on the flow field was explored. The jet flow field characteristics of the spark discharge actuator under supersonic flow (Ma0=2.0) were investigated. The results show that the energy density of heat flux increases and the jet front and forward shock wave moves faster with the decrease of discharge region, and the smaller the exit angle of the jet is, the stronger the momentum injection ability of the actuator along the flow direction is. The rule still applies under high-speed air flow conditions. Compared to the static condition, the momentum injection capability of the jet is stronger and the influence domain is larger under supersonic flow conditions.

为了探究角锥棱镜谐振腔激光模式,以角锥-平面镜腔为例,将角锥棱镜等效为衍射光栅,考虑角锥镜棱宽在谐振腔中的衍射效应以及二面角误差引起的附加相位分布对谐振腔激光模式的影响,在光学谐振腔理论的基础上,建立了求解本征模式的理论分析模型.采用快速傅里叶法数值模拟不同腔长、角锥镜棱宽和二面角误差情况下该无源谐振腔激光输出模式分布情况.结果表明,在腔长30 cm、角锥镜棱宽小于75μm、二面角误差在-10′~5′之间时,可实现光斑完整的圆形分布输出模式,且有较好的光束质量;棱宽不小于0.4 mm,二面角误差在-40′~10′之间时,光斑为TEM 03阶横模,光场呈六瓣分布;当角锥镜棱宽为0.4 mm、二面角误差为3′,腔长从30~90 cm范围内增加时,该谐振腔输出的激光模式从TEM 03转换成TEM 10.

Controllably asymmetric beam splitting via gap-induced diffraction channel transition in dual-layer binary metagratings

In this work, we designed and studied a feasible dual-layer binary metagrating, which can realize controllable asymmetric transmission and beam splitting with nearly perfect performance. Owing to ingenious geometry configuration, only one meta-atom is required to design for the metagrating system. By simply controlling air gap between dual-layer metagratings, high-efficiency beam splitting can be well switched from asymmetric transmission to symmetric transmission. The working principle lies on gap-induced diffraction channel transition for incident waves from opposite directions. The asymmetric/symmetric transmission can work in a certain frequency band and a wide incident range. Compared with previous methods using acoustic metasurfaces, our approach has the advantages of simple design and tunable property and shows promise for applications in wavefront manipulation, noise control and one-way propagation.
