Origin of strain-induced resonances in flexible terahertz metamaterials

Two types of flexible terahertz metamaterials were fabricated on polyethylene naphthalate(PEN) substrates. The unit cell of one type consists of two identical split-ring resonators(SRRs) that are arranged face-to-face(i.e., Flex Meta F); the unit cell of the other type has nothing different but is arranged back-to-back(i.e., Flex Meta B). Flex Meta F and Flex Meta B illustrate the similar transmission dips under zero strain because the excitation of fundamental inductive–capacitive(LC)resonance is mainly dependent on the geometric structure of individual SRR. However, if a gradually variant strain is applied to bend Flex Meta F and Flex Meta B, the new resonant peaks appear: in the case of Flex Meta F, the peaks are located at the lower frequencies; in the case of Flex Meta B, the peaks appear at the frequencies adjacent to the LC resonance. The origin and evolution of strain-induced resonances are studied. The origin is ascribed to the detuning effect and the different responses to strain from Flex Meta F and Flex Meta B are associated with the coupling effect. These findings may improve the understanding on flexible terahertz metamaterials and benefit their applications in flexible or curved devices.     

99氧化铝陶瓷在不同应变率下的破碎特性

开展了99氧化铝陶瓷在不同应变率下的轴向压缩实验,通过对相应应变率下的试件碎片进行软回收,并结合筛余法对碎片进行几何表征,获得了不同应变率下的碎片尺寸分布曲线和试件破坏的能量吸收过程,建立了颗粒陶瓷的外力功与相对破碎率之间的关系。采用数字图像相关(Digital image correlation,DIC)技术获取了不同应变率下沿加载方向的应变场,并结合能量吸收过程和碎片级配表现分析了破坏模式。实验结果表明:99氧化铝陶瓷的破坏强度与应变率呈正相关,在中应变率下,能量吸收率与应变率呈负相关,由于能量吸收机制的改变,样品初始为劈裂破坏;当应变率达到401 s^?1时,破坏模式变为劈裂-粉碎混合破坏;随着应变率继续增大,试件变为粉碎破坏,颗粒平均粒径减小,碎片尺寸趋同,应力集中的影响逐渐减弱。分析了能量、破坏过程、碎片分布之间的关系,最终获得了碎片分布规律以及破碎特性。     

Design optimization of highly efficient spectrum-splitting and beam-concentrating diffractive optical element for lateral multijunction solar cells

Two improved algorithms are proposed to extend a diffractive optical element （DOE） to work under the broad spec- trum of sunlight. An optimum design has been found for the DOE, with a weighted average optical efficiency of about 6.8% better than that of the previous design. The optimization of designing high optical efficiency DOEs will pave the way for future designs of high-efficiency, low-cost lateral multijunction solar cells based on such a DOE.     

冲击载荷下圆环纵向压缩力学行为研究

选用外径、内径和高度三者比值为6∶3∶2的铝合金圆环试件作为研究对象,在粗磨、细磨和润滑三种端面粗糙条件下,利用SHPB实验方法研究了其纵向动态压缩行为。实验结果表明:随着端面摩擦系数的增大,对应的屈服强度和硬化强度增大明显。同时,圆环纵向压缩应力应变曲线有一个明显的应力下降段。其原因是圆环在塑性压缩过程从内而外发生了动态塑性失稳。由于端面应力不均匀和压缩过程端面摩擦系数不均匀变化,试件前后端面的压缩变形明显不一致。数值模拟分析了不同表面粗糙情况下的圆环纵向压缩过程,得到了和实验相类似的现象。

采用沉淀法制备前驱体,通过不同温度合成了上转换发光材料Y2O2S∶Er3+,Yb3+,运用XRD,SEM和上转换发射光谱对其进行表征。结果表明,所合成的Y2O2S∶Er3+Yb3+属于六方晶系晶体,随着合成温度的升高,产物的粒径不断增大,上转换发射光强度逐渐增加。研究Y2O2S∶Er3+Yb3+的上转换发光过程,红光发射和绿光发射分别源于Er3+离子的4F9/2→4I15/2以及2H11/2→4I15/2,4S3/2→4I15/2能级跃迁。利用群论计算了晶场中Er3+离子的能级分裂数目。     

Split equilibrium problems for related games and applications to economic theory

ABSTRACT

In this paper we introduce the concept of split Nash equilibrium problems associated with two related noncooperative strategic games. Then we apply the Fan-KKM theorem to prove the existence of solutions to split Nash equilibrium problems of related noncooperative strategic games, in which the strategy sets of the players are nonempty closed and convex subsets in Banach spaces. As an application of this existence to economics, an example is provided that studies the existence of split Nash equilibrium of utilities of two related economies. As applications, we study the existence of split Nash equilibrium in the dual (playing twice) extended Bertrand duopoly model of price competition.     

New algorithms for the split variational inclusion problems and application to split feasibility problems

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we suggest two new iterative methods for finding an element of the solution set of split variational inclusion problem in real Hilbert spaces. Under suitable conditions, we present weak and strong convergence theorems for these methods. We also apply the proposed algorithms to study the split feasibility problem. Finally, we give some numerical results which show that our proposed algorithms are efficient and implementable from the numerical point of view.     

多目标跟踪中目标数量准确识别算法

由于场景中存在目标遮挡与重叠的影响,以及检测时产生的分割错误,同一个目标往往被识别为若干运动区域,或者多个目标被识别为同一个运动区域,从而导致目标数量识别错误。为了解决这一问题,提出了一种结合融合与分离操作的理论来分析视频的方法,将多目标跟踪的问题转化成为一个找寻后验极值的问题。采用图论的方法表示观测结果,利用图像序列中目标运动轨迹和外观相似度的信息,将多目标跟踪的问题归结为找寻图中多个最优路径的问题。该方法采用了滑动窗口框架以便统计固定数目帧的信息。实验结果表明该方法能够应对实际中发生的上述现象,达到了准确识别多目标数量的目的。     

分离重组错位通道微混合器混合及结构研究

本文对基于非对称分离重组原理优化得到的错位通道微混合器的混合特性进行了数值模拟,并采用混合强度值作为衡量指标。结果表明,Re在1到80的变化范围内,微混合器的混合效果受通道几何结构参数影响较大,即主次通道上错位通道结构的布置有利于提高微混合器的混合强度。综合考虑混合性能和微通道内压降变化等条件,当错位通道结构参数ω₃/ω₄=1时,非对称分离重组错位通道微混合器的混合强度可提高到86%左右。     

Integer linear programming models for a cement delivery problem

We consider a cement delivery problem with an heterogeneous fleet of vehicles and several depots. The demands of the customers are typically larger than the capacity of the vehicles which means that most customers are visited several times. This is a split delivery vehicle routing problem with additional constraints. We first propose a two phase solution method that assigns deliveries to the vehicles, and then builds vehicle routes. Both subproblems are formulated as integer linear programming problems. We then show how to combine the two phases in a single integer linear program. Experiments on real life instances are performed to compare the performance of the two solution methods.
