Study on stress and deformation of keyhole gas tungsten arc-welded joints

Keyhole gas tungsten arc welding(K-TIG)of Q345 low alloy steel plates was simulated by using SYSWELD software.The temperature field of the K-TIG welding process was simulated with three different combined heat sources and was compared with the weld profile that was obtained experimentally.The temperature field that was obtained by a combination of a double ellipsoid heat source on the upper half and a three-dimensional Gauss heat source on the lower half was similar to the real situation.The effects of plate thickness,gap and welding speed on the deformation and stress of the K-TIG welded joints were investigated by K-TIG welding numerical simulation.A reduction in the thickness of the weld plates reduced the z-direction deformation and transverse residual stress;an appropriate gap reduced the residual stress and an increase in the welding speed reduced deformation after welding,but did not help to control the residual stress after welding.     

Droplet-targeting laser hybrid indirect arc for additive manufacturing technology-A preliminary study

The contradiction between manufacturing accuracy and manufacturing efficiency is discussed in this paper.In order to solve this problem,a novel droplet-targeting laser hybrid indirect arc for additive manufacturing technology is proposed in which a couple of wires are melted using the alternating current with interwire indirect arc to achieve high deposition rate.On the other hand,droplets actively target the laser beam and detach from wire tip under the recoil pressure subjected to pulsed laser irradiating at desired position and with controlled mass for a precise bead forming.The process of alternative droplet growing at desired position are mathematically analyzed and then preliminary verified by experiment.By precisely controlling the wire feed speed and current frequency,the melting process at desired position and mass of wire is successfully obtained which is the fundamental for next-step for the droplet actively targeting laser.     

Novel strategy for encapsulation and targeted delivery of poorly water-soluble active substances

Carriers for targeted delivery and controlled release of poorly water-soluble active substances (PWSAS) are facing three challenges: (a) the encapsulation issues, (b) limitations of PWSAS water solubility, and (c) burst drug release which can be pharmacologically dangerous and economically inefficient. The present study brings a novel strategy for encapsulation and controlled release of PWSAS—caffeine in concentrations which are higher than its maximal water solubility without the possibility of burst effect. The modification of hydrophilic carrier based on poly(methacylic acid) was done using casein and liposomes. To further increase the maximal caffeine loading inside the carrier nicotinamide was used. The release study of the encapsulated PWSAS was elaborated with respect to morphology of the carriers and interactions that could be established between its structural components. The carriers swelling and the release of caffeine and nicotinamide were also investigated depending on caffeine concentration, the presence of different liposomal formulations and the volume ratio of liposomal formulation, in three media with different pH simulating the path of the carrier through the human gastrointestinal tract. The synthesized carriers are promising candidates for encapsulation of PWSAS in concentrations which are higher than its maximal water solubility and for the targeted delivery of those dosages.     

Modelling of electron energy absorption and backscattering during EBW

A three-dimensional heat flux model for deep-penetrating electron beam welding (EBW) is established to mathematically describe the physical heat generation process during interaction between electrons and the dynamic molten pool free surface. Monte Carlo method is used to determine the electron-target interaction, and random distribution of initial electrons, progressive trajectory tracing and electron backscattering models are used to describe the spatial distribution of electrons absorption. The model is verified in preset keyholes and applied in the simulation on electron beam welding process, and the calculated bead shape shows a good consistency with experimental results.

基于模糊多模型的堆芯功率控制

传统的堆芯功率PID控制器是基于单一功率水平处的堆芯局部模型设计的，难以准确描述整个堆芯功率水平范围的控制。因此，本文基于5个不同功率水平下的传递函数模型，通过三角隶属度函数加权，建立堆芯模糊多模型，并依据该模型设计堆芯功率模糊PID控制。以TMI型压水堆堆芯为对象，开展不同初始功率水平下的堆芯功率跟踪、堆芯进口温度扰动的控制仿真。结果表明，基于模糊多模型设计的堆芯功率模糊PID控制器可实现对堆芯功率的良好控制。     

一种半监督对抗鲁棒模型无关元学习方法

元学习期望训练所得的元模型在学习到的“元知识”基础上利用来自新任务的少量标注样本，仅通过较少的梯度下降步骤微调模型就能够快速适应该任务。但是，由于缺乏训练样本，元学习算法在元训练期间对现有任务过度训练时所得的分类器决策边界不够准确，不合理的决策边界使得元模型更容易受到微小对抗扰动的影响，导致元模型在新任务上的鲁棒性能降低。提出一种半监督对抗鲁棒模型无关元学习（semi-ARMAML）方法，在目标函数中分别引入半监督的对抗鲁棒正则项和基于信息熵的任务无偏正则项，以此优化决策边界，其中对抗鲁棒正则项的计算允许未标注样本包含未见过类样本，从而使得元模型能更好地适应真实应用场景，降低对输入扰动的敏感性，提高对抗鲁棒性。实验结果表明，相比ADML、R-MAML-TRADES等当下主流的对抗元学习方法，semi-ARMAML方法在干净样本上准确率较高，在MiniImageNet数据集的5-way 1-shot与5-way 5-shot任务上对抗鲁棒性能分别约提升1.8%和2.7%，在CIFAR-FS数据集上分别约提升5.2%和8.1%。
