This paper is focused on the transient dynamics of an adiabatic nano‐electromechanical system (NEMS), consisting of a nano‐mechanical oscillator coupled to a quantum dot. By numerically solving the nonlinear stochastic differential equation governing the oscillator, the time evolution of the oscillator position, of the dot occupation number and of the current are studied. Different parameter settings are studied where the system exhibits bi‐stable, tri‐stable or mono‐stable behavior on a finite‐time horizon. It is shown that, after a typically long transient, the system under investigation exhibits no hysteretic behavior and that a unique steady state is reached, independently of the initial conditions. The transient dynamics is marked out by one or two well separated characteristic times, depending on the considered case (i.e., mono‐ or multi‐stable). These times are evaluated for a dot on‐resonance or off‐resonance. It turns out that the characteristic time scales are long in comparison to the period of the uncoupled oscillator, particularly at low bias, suggesting that the predicted transient dynamics may be observed in state‐of‐the‐art experimental setups.
Experimental studies of a model pump-turbine S-curve characteristics and its improvement by misaligned guide vanes (MGV) were extended to prototype pump turbine through 3-D transient flow simulations. The unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the SST turbulence model were used to model the transient flow within the entire flow passage of a reversible pump-turbine with and without misaligned guide vanes during turbine model start-up. The unstable S-curve and its improvement by using misaligned guide vane were verified by model test and simulation. The transient flow calculations were used to clarify the variations of pressure pulse and internal flow behavior in the entire flow passage. The use of misaligned guide vanes can eliminate the S-curve characteristics of a pump-turbine, and can significantly increase the pressure pulse amplitude in the entire flow passage and the runner radial forces during start-up. The MGV only decreased the pulse amplitude on the guide vane suction side when the rotating speed was less than 50% rated speed. The hydraulic reason is that the MGV dramatically changed the flow patterns inside the entire flow passage, and destroyed the symmetry of the flow distribution inside the guide vane and runner. 相似文献
The probability density function for transient response of non-linear stochastic system is investigated through the stochastic averaging and Mellin transform. The stochastic averaging based on the generalized harmonic functions is adopted to reduce the system dimension and derive the one-dimensional Itô stochastic differential equation with respect to amplitude response. To solve the Fokker–Plank–Kolmogorov equation governing the amplitude response probability density, the Mellin transform is first implemented to obtain the differential relation of complex fractional moments. Combining the expansion form of transient probability density with respect to complex fractional moments and the differential relations at different transform parameters yields a set of closed-form first-order ordinary differential equations. The complex fractional moments which are determined by the solution of the above equations can be used to directly construct the probability density function of system response. Numerical results for a van der Pol oscillator subject to stochastically external and parametric excitations are given to illustrate the application, the convergence and the precision of the proposed procedure. 相似文献
The effect of exciton interfacial dissociation on transient photocurrent (TPC) in a single-layer organic solar cell is investigated within a time-dependent device model. The spike observed in TPC experiments is attributed to exciton dissociation at the electrode/organic interface. In comparison with the observed negative signal of transient photovoltage (TPV), the spike more directly reflects the charge processes at the interface. Moreover, numerical results show that the spike of TPC is sensitive to the voltage applied on the device and the hole mobility of the organic semiconductor. Further investigation on the spike by the favorable TPC technique is suggested to provide details about the exciton and carrier processes at the interface. 相似文献
In typical Lamb wave simulation practices, effects of plate edge reflections are often not considered in order to simplify the wave signal interpretations. Methods that are based on infinite plates such as the semi-analytical finite element method is effective in simulating Lamb waves as it excludes the effect of plate edges. However, the inclusion of plate edges in a finite plate could render this method inapplicable, especially for transient response simulations. Here, by applying the ratio of Lamb mode reflections at plate edges, and representing the reflection at plate edges using infinite plate solutions, the semi-analytical finite element method can be applied for transient response simulation, even when the plate is no longer infinite. 相似文献
When cyclic loading is applied to poroelastic materials, a transient stage of interstitial fluid pressure occurs, preceding a steady state. In each stage, the fluid pressure exhibits a characteristic mechanical behavior. In this study, an analytical solution for fluid pressure in two-dimensional poroelastic materials, which is assumed to be isotropic, under cyclic axial and bending loading is presented, based on poroelasticity. The obtained analytical solution contains transient and steady-state responses. Both of these depend on three dimensionless parameters: the dimensionless stress coefficient; the dimensionless frequency; and, the axial-bending loading ratio. We focus particularly on the transient behavior of interstitial fluid pressure with changes in the dimensionless frequency and the axial-bending loading ratio. The transient properties, such as half-value period and contribution factor, depend largely on the dimensionless frequency and have peak values when its value is about 10. This suggests that, under these conditions, the transient response can significantly affect the mechanical behavior of poroelastic materials. 相似文献
Current modelling techniques for the prediction of conveying line pressure drop in low velocity dense phase pneumatic conveying are largely based on steady state analyses.Work in this area has been on-going for many years with only marginal improvements in the accuracy of prediction being achieved.Experimental and theoretical investigations undertaken by the authors suggest that the flow mechanisms involved in dense phase conveying are dominated by transient effects rather than those of steady state and are possibly the principal reasons for the limited improvement in accuracy.This paper reports on investigations on the pressure fluctuation behaviour in dense phase pneumatic conveying of powders.The pressure behaviour of the gas flow in the top section of the pipeline was found to exhibit pulsatile oscillations.In particular,the pulse velocity showed variation in magnitude while the frequency of the oscillations rarely exceeded 5 Hz.A wavelet analysis using the Daubechie 4 wavelet found that the amplitude of the oscillations increased along the pipeline.Furthermore,there was significant variation in gas pulse amplitude for different types of particulate material. 相似文献
We present heterodyne detected transient grating measurements on water filled Vycor 7930 in the range of temperature 20-90 °C. This experimental investigation enables to measure the acoustic propagation, the average density variation due to the liquid flow and the thermal diffusion in this water filled nano-porous material. The data have been analyzed with the model of Pecker and Deresiewicz which is an extension of Biot model to account for the thermal effects. In the whole temperature range the data are qualitatively described by this hydrodynamic model that enables a meaningful insight of the different dynamic phenomena. The data analysis proves that the signal in the intermediate and long time-scale can be mainly addressed to the water dynamics inside the pores. We proved the existence of a peculiar interplay between the mass and the heat transport that produces a flow and back-flow process inside the nano-pores. During this process the solid and liquid dynamics have opposite phase as predicted by the Biot theory for the slow diffusive wave. Nevertheless, our experimental results confirm that transport of elastic energy (i.e. acoustic propagation), heat (i.e. thermal diffusion) and mass (i.e. liquid flow) in a liquid filled porous glass can be described according to hydrodynamic laws in spite of nanometric dimension of the pores. The data fitting, based on the hydrodynamic model, enables the extraction of several parameters of the water-Vycor system, even if some discrepancies appear when they are compared with values reported in the literature. 相似文献
