Stick-slip suppression and speed tuning for a drill-string system via proportional-derivative control

This paper studies the problems of stick-slip mitigation and speed tuning for a lumped-parameter drill-string system by using a proportional-derivative feedback controller via path-following analysis. In this study, we consider two main control parameters, the weight-on-bit and the desired drill-bit speed. In particular, we determine the combinations of these two parameters for which the proposed control scheme is applicable, which is affected by the non-smooth nature of the system induced by bit-rock interaction. Our analysis using path-following techniques for non-smooth systems reveals the inherent coexistence of stick-slip vibration and constant rotation, and identifies a critical point where the drill-bit speed coincides with the desired angular speed. Furthermore, our analysis proposes a strategy that allows controlling the drill-bit speed to suppress stick-slip, by tuning the controller in a suitable manner.

双脉冲激光诱导土壤中Pb和Ba光谱增强研究

为获得共线双脉冲激发方式对土壤中Pb和Ba元素的谱线增强效果，研究了1064 nm单脉冲和(355 nm+ 1064 nm)，(1064 nm+355 nm)共线双脉冲三种激发方式下，谱线强度随采集延迟时间的变化规律和谱线增强倍数随双脉冲时间间隔的变化规律。研究发现，与单脉冲激发方式相比，在双脉冲激发方式下，谱线Pb I 405.78 nm和Ba I 553.55 nm强度的最大增强倍数分别为5和8。该研究结果为检测土壤中重金属元素提供了参考。

Miscanthus stem fragment – Reinforced polypropylene composites: Development of an optimized preparation procedure at small scale and its validation for differentiating genotypes

The production of ligno-cellulosic biomass-based composites requires the development of new methodologies to evaluate the reinforcement potential of a given biomass, such as miscanthus studied in the work. Miscanthus stems from thirteen genotypes were broken into elongated fragments and mixed with polypropylene composites in an internal mixer. The aim is to find the best protocol able to discriminate miscanthus genotypes for their reinforcement capability. The following process parameters were optimized in order to maximize the reinforcement effect of the stem fragment filler: mixing parameters (mixing time, rotor speed and chamber temperature), temperature, fragment content, size and length distributions and coupling agent. The relationship between the process parameters and the mechanical properties of composites were analyzed to evaluate the influence of genotype on reinforcement performance, showing the robustness of the protocol in effectively discriminating genotypes according to their reinforcing capacity.     

H2S gas sensor based on integrated resonant dual-microcantilevers with high sensitivity and identification capability

Detection of trace-level hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas is of great importance whether in industrial production or disease diagnosis. This research presents a novel H₂S gas sensor based on integrated resonant dual-microcantilevers which can identify and detect trace-level H₂S in real-time. The sensor consists of two integrated resonant microcantilever sensors with different functions. One cantilever sensor can identify H₂S by outputting positive frequency shift signals, while the other cantilever sensor will detect H₂S as a normally used cantilever sensor with negative frequency shifts. Combined the two cantilever sensors, the proposed gas sensor can distinguish H₂S from a variety of common gases, and the detection limit to H₂S of the sensor is as sensitive as below 1 ppb.
