Uncertainty model of electro-optical thrombus growth estimation for early risk detection

It is proposed a device for the study of the real-time aggregation of white thrombi in whole blood. This device allows extrapolating the 3D-shape of platelets clotting within artificial capillaries, by simultaneously monitoring the electrical impedance between a pair of specifically designed gold electrodes and 2D optical image of pixel luminance of the fluorescent labeled platelets. Up to 30 3D images per minute have been obtained, for a process which requires few minutes before the aggregation of large thrombi structures, a noticeable result with respect to other 3D-shape reconstruction methods. The contribution of this paper mainly consists in the study of an uncertainty model which, in our opinion, is of fundamental importance to provide a valuable metrological estimation of thrombus growth under flow conditions.     

Physical topology optimization of infrastructure health monitoring sensor network for high-speed rail

With the rapid development of high-speed rail (HSR) systems, the security and safety of these huge systems are becoming the primary concerns for passengers. HSR infrastructure plays an important role in HSR systems, making the maintenance of security and safety of the HSR infrastructure especially important. Meanwhile, sensor network technologies allow the realization of real-time and all-weather monitoring of HSR infrastructure. This paper analyzes the application requirements and characteristics of infrastructure health monitoring sensor network (IHMSN) through construction of a three-layer IHMSN which is composed of end devices, repeater points, and access points. The physical topology optimization goal of IHMSN is to set the optimal number of network nodes (namely, minimum cost) as well as the best physical connections. Given types and amount of the end devices, a multiple knapsack model is established which converts the physical topology optimization problems into multiple knapsack problems. Based on the different needs of practical application, three different cases (basis case, adding devices case and weight-based case) are proposed, and the corresponding models are built. Some artificial intelligence algorithms and a traditional dynamic programming algorithm are presented to solve the problems. In addition, a general algorithmic finite state machine is proposed to describe the solving process. After comparing these algorithms in execution time, memory, and optimal results, the genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm stand out when used to solve the basic case as well as the extended cases. The numerical results show that these proposed models and algorithms can effectively solve the physical topology optimization problem of IHMSN for HSR systems. Moreover, these methods can effectively reduce network costs and provide a theoretical basis for network communication link optimization.

JP-8 catalytic cracking for compact fuel processors

In processing heavier hydrocarbons such as military logistic fuels (JP-4, JP-5, JP-8, and JP-100), kerosene, gasoline, and diesel to produce hydrogen for fuel cell use, several issues arise. First, these fuels have high sulfur content, which can poison and deactivate components of the reforming process and the fuel cell stack; second, these fuels may contain non-volatile residue (NVR), up to 1.5 vol.%, which could potentially accumulate in a fuel processor; and third is the high coking potential of heavy hydrocarbons. Catalytic cracking of a distillate fuel prior to reforming can resolve these issues. Cracking using an appropriate catalyst can convert the various heavy organosulfur species in the fuel to lighter sulfur species such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), facilitating subsequent sulfur adsorption on zinc oxide (ZnO). Cracking followed by separation of light cracked gas from heavies effectively eliminates non-volatile aromatic species. Catalytic cracking can also convert heavier hydrocarbons to lights (C₁–C₃) at high conversion, which reduces the potential for coke formation in the reforming process. In this study, two types of catalysts were compared for JP-8 cracking performance: commercially-available zeolite materials similar to catalysts formulated for fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) processes, and a novel manganese/alumina catalyst, which was previously reported to provide high selectivity to lights and low coke yield. Experiments were designed to test each catalyst’s effectiveness under the high space velocity conditions necessary for use in compact, lightweight fuel processor systems. Cracking conversion results, as well as sulfur and hydrocarbon distributions in the light cracked gas, are presented for the two catalysts to provide a performance comparison.

Enhanced sound insulation and mechanical properties of LDPE/mica composites through multilayered distribution and orientation of the mica

In this work, the composites with multilayered distribution of the mica were fabricated by a multilayer coextrusion technique. The influence of layer number on sound insulation and mechanical properties of multilayered composites was investigated. The distribution, dispersion and orientation of mica particulates in composites were characterized by PLM and SEM. The sound insulation property of composites was measured by four microphone impedance tube. PLM and SEM images showed that the mica was distributed as the multilayered structure along the thickness direction of the composites. With the increase of layer number, more mica aggregates delaminated into thin flakes and aligned parallel to the flow direction. Compared to the conventional composites, the multilayered composites showed the enhanced sound insulation efficiency and mechanical properties. The discontinuity of sound impedance and the improved stiffness were considered to play a crucial role in the improvement of sound transmission loss.     

Crushing analysis and multiobjective crashworthiness optimization of honeycomb-filled single and bitubular polygonal tubes

Honeycomb-filled tubes have recently gained attention for their enhanced energy absorption capacity. This paper firstly investigates the energy absorption characteristics of honeycomb-filled single and bitubular polygonal tubes (HSBPT) by nonlinear finite element analysis through LS-DYNA. By employing a six-level judgement method, we find that both of the honeycomb-filled single and honeycomb-filled bitubular tubes with enneagonal configuration have very excellent energy absorption characteristics among the considered cases. Next, the HSBPTs with enneagonal configuration are optimized by adopting multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm to achieve maximum specific energy absorption (SEA) capacity and minimum peak crushing force (PCF). During the process of multiobjective optimization design (MOD), accurate metamodels of SEA and PCF of the HSBPTs with enneagonal configuration are established to reduce the computational cost of crash simulations by finite element method. Numerical experiments show that the quartic polynomial functions of SEA and PCF are the suitable metamodels for both honeycomb-filled single and bitubular enneagonal tubes.     

管道损伤处纵向导波模态转换对损伤识别的影响

在管道导波检测中损伤反射回波包含了丰富的损伤相关信息,对回波信号的全面分析有助于识别损伤的几何特征。纵向模态导波与损伤相互作用会发生双模态转换,即L(0,2)导波与L(0,1)导波之间的相互转换。由L(0,2)导波转换而来的L(0,1)导波也反映了管道的损伤特征信息。利用数值模拟和实验方法,研究了损伤沿管道径向和周向扩展时L(0,1)和L(0,2)导波的反射特征。结果表明:L(0,2)导波与非贯穿型损伤相互作用会发生双模态转换现象,而与贯穿型损伤作用时,不发生双模态转换;对于周向长度一定的损伤,L(0,1)导波反射系数随损伤径向扩展呈先增大后减小的趋势,且损伤深度小于管道半壁厚时,L(0,1)导波与L(0,2)导波反射系数相当。研究结果为管道检测过程中评估损伤的径向深度提供了参考。
