基于热传导原理电枢平均磨损率计算

在假设导轨为半无限长固体导体及电枢表面磨损主要是熔化磨损条件下,基于固体接触面导热原理,推导出电枢和导轨温度分布方程,提出了电枢平均磨损率计算方法。利用此方法分析了驱动电流、电枢和导轨材料匹配和接触面积参数对电枢平均磨损率影响。将平均磨损率计算结果与Stefani和Parker的实验结果进行对比,二者吻合较好,从而为建立电磁轨道炮磨损率与转捩之间的关系提供理论支持。

Evaluation of the mechanical properties of PMC interface using slice compression test — Analysis of transfer mechanism of interfacial shear stress

Properties of the fiber/matrix interface in SiO₂/epoxy and SiC/epoxy composite are investigated using the slice compression test (SCT) for the single fiber, where the specimen is loaded and unloaded between a plate which has different mechanical properties. It is found that the interfacial debonding proceeds from the polished surface at a soft plate side and that the fiber protrusion occurs after unloading. The fiber-protrusion length is directly measured at each applied stress level using a scanning electron microscope. Interfacial shear-sliding stress is obtained based on the constant shear-sliding stress analysis employing the obtained protrusion length. It is demonstrated that the value of interfacial shear-sliding stress shows good agreement with that obtained from another technique, the push-out test, on the same system. The relation between the fiber-protrusion length and applied stress is proportional to a certain extent. From this result, it is analytically pointed out that the applied stress has a limiting value in this SCT because of Poisson's effect. Also, two interfacial debonding criteria, which are determined analytically for the PMC, are discussed.     

Generalized exterior boundary-value problems and optimization for the Helmholtz equation

A class of radiation problems is considered for the Helmholtz equation in exterior domains bounded by a smooth surface on which Dirichlet, Neumann, or Robin boundary conditions are imposed. The problem of finding the boundary data which maximizes far field power in a restricted subset of far field directions is formulated as a constrained maximization problem. Existence of an optimal solution in a variety of control domains is established. The particular case when the boundary is circular and the control domain is the unit ball inL ² is treated in detail. An algorithm for constructing the optimal solution is derived and used to obtain explicit numerical results.This work was supported by the US Air Force under Grant No. AFOSR 81-0156.

Estimation of the Multivariate Normal Precision Matrix under the Entropy Loss

Let X ₁, , X _n (n > p) be a random sample from multivariate normal distribution N _p (, ), where R ^p and is a positive definite matrix, both and being unknown. We consider the problem of estimating the precision matrix ^–1. In this paper it is shown that for the entropy loss, the best lower-triangular affine equivariant minimax estimator of ^–1 is inadmissible and an improved estimator is explicitly constructed. Note that our improved estimator is obtained from the class of lower-triangular scale equivariant estimators.     

Shear Buckling Form of a Circular Sandwich Ring under Uniform External Pressure

The problem on the stability of a circular sandwich ring under uniform external pressure is considered. It is shown that, along with a mixed flexural-shear buckling form (BF), a pure shear BF can be realized in the core. This form is accompanied by rotation of the load-carrying layers at the cost of the transverse shear strain (constant in the circumferential direction) in the core. It is found that the simplified equations of the theory of shallow shells cannot describe this nonclassical BF. The critical loads corresponding to the shear BF may prove to be smaller than the critical load of the classical mixed flexural BF for a circular sandwich ring of medium thickness at a low shear modulus of the core. The results obtained contribute greatly to the understanding of buckling mechanisms of sandwich structures and supplement the existing classification of BFs.     

Near-Subconvexlikeness in Vector Optimization with Set-Valued Functions

A new class of generalized convex set-valued functions, termed nearly-subconvexlike functions, is introduced. This class is a generalization of cone-subconvexlike maps, nearly-convexlike set-valued functions, and preinvex set-valued functions. Properties for the nearly-subconvexlike functions are derived and a theorem of the alternative is proved. A Lagrangian multiplier theorem is established and two scalarization theorems are obtained for vector optimization.

大气激光通信中的偏振调制性能

为充分证明偏振移位键控可有效抑制大气湍流等因素的影响这一观点,对目前大气激光通信系统中广泛采用的几种强度调制和偏振移位键控技术进行详细的分析研究,从各调制方式的功率利用率、带宽需求、传输容量以及差错性能几个方面进行对比。研究结果表明,各调制方式各有千秋,不能一概而论。综合各方面性能考虑,偏振移位键控较其他几种强度调制方式更具优越性,其具有最大传输容量、最小的带宽需求和接收误码率。由此可见,偏振调制方式更适合应用于大气激光通信。     

Detection of diminished response to cold pressor test in smokers: Assessment using phase-contrast cine magnetic resonance imaging of the coronary sinus

Purpose

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the reproducibility for measuring the cold pressor test (CPT)-induced myocardial blood flow (MBF) alteration using phase-contrast (PC) cine MRI, and to determine if this approach could detect altered MBF response to CPT in smokers.

Materials and methods

After obtaining informed consent, ten healthy male non-smokers (mean age: 28 ± 5 years) and ten age-matched male smokers (smoking duration ≥ 5 years, mean age: 28 ± 3 years) were examined in this institutional review board approved study. Breath-hold PC cine MR images of the coronary sinus were obtained with a 3 T MR imager with 32 channel coils at rest and during a CPT performed after immersing one foot in ice water. MBF was calculated as coronary sinus flow divided by the left ventricular (LV) mass which was given as a total LV myocardial volume measured on cine MRI multiplied by the specific gravity (1.05 g/mL).

Results

In non-smokers, MBF was 0.86 ± 0.25 mL/min/g at rest, with a significant increase to 1.20 ± 0.36 mL/min/g seen during CPT (percentage change of MBF (?MBF (%)); 39.2% ± 14.4%, p < 0.001). Inter-study reproducibility for ?MBF (%) measurements by different MR technologist was good, as indicated by the intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.93 and reproducibility coefficient of 10.5%. There was no significant difference between smokers and non-smokers for resting MBF (0.85 ± 0.32 mL/min/g, p = 0.91). However, ?MBF (%) in smokers was significantly reduced (-4.0 ± 32.2% vs. 39.2 ± 14.4%, p = 0.011).

Conclusion

PC cine MRI can be used to reproducibly quantify MBF response to CPT and to detect impaired flow response in smokers. This MR approach may be useful for monitoring the sequential change of coronary blood flow in various potentially pathologic conditions and for investigating its relationship with cardiovascular risk.
