In recent years, the parameterized level set method (PLSM) has attracted widespread attention for its good stability, high efficiency and the smooth result of topology optimization compared with the conventional level set method. In the PLSM, the radial basis functions (RBFs) are often used to perform interpolation fitting for the conventional level set equation, thereby transforming the iteratively updating partial differential equation (PDE) into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Hence, the RBFs play a key role in improving efficiency, accuracy and stability of the numerical computation in the PLSM for structural topology optimization, which can describe the structural topology and its change in the optimization process. In particular, the compactly supported radial basis function (CS-RBF) has been widely used in the PLSM for structural topology optimization because it enjoys considerable advantages. In this work, based on the CS-RBF, we propose a PLSM for structural topology optimization by adding the shape sensitivity constraint factor to control the step length in the iterations while updating the design variables with the method of moving asymptote (MMA). With the shape sensitivity constraint factor, the updating step length is changeable and controllable in the iterative process of MMA algorithm so as to increase the optimization speed. Therefore, the efficiency and stability of structural topology optimization can be improved by this method. The feasibility and effectiveness of this method are demonstrated by several typical numerical examples involving topology optimization of single-material and multi-material structures.
We demonstrate, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, a multiwavelength fiber ring laser using a continuous-wave dual-pump fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA) as gain medium. In the ring cavity, two high-power pumps are injected into a spool of 1-km highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted fiber to generate the parametric gain, and a superimposed chirped fiber Bragg grating is used as the comb-like filter. Benefiting from the high and flat gain of the dual-pump FOPA, seven lasing lines around 1.55 mum with wavelength spacing of 1 nm have been obtained. Each lasing line has a linewidth of as narrow as 20 pm and an extinction ratio of > 30 dB. The proposed mechanism using a dual-pump FOPA as gain medium is a promising alternative for generating multiwavelength laser. 相似文献
Acoustic waves that impinge transversely on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) induce periodic microbends of the fiber, which modulate the phase index and lead to the changes of optical spectral characteristics of the FBG. We investigated the spectral characteristics of a FBG modulated by a transverse acoustic wave. The corresponding theoretical model is presented by modifying the multimode coupled equations. A fast algorithm based on the Newton-Raphson method is proposed to simulate numerically the spectral characteristics of such a FBG. Our numerical results are in excellent agreement with the known experimental results. For the first time, to our knowledge, the known experimental results have been reproduced by numerical simulations. Moreover, the optimization of the reflective spectra of such a FBG is also discussed. From the perspective of inherent physical mechanisms, the exceptional spectral characteristics of such a FBG are discussed as well. 相似文献
以某小型非道路柴油机为样机,搭建了柴油机缸内喷雾燃烧过程可视化研究平台,进行缸内燃烧过程高速摄影研究,分析内部废气再循环(Internal Exhaust Gas Recirculation,IEGR)对小型非道路柴油机燃烧及排放性能的影响规律。结果表明,引入IEGR会缩短滞燃期,延长燃烧持续期。IEGR在低负荷时可提高缸内燃烧温度,在中高负荷时则可以降低缸内燃烧温度。随着IEGR率增大,NOx逐渐降低,且这种降低的趋势随负荷率的增加愈趋明显,SOOT均有一定程度的升高,但并未严重恶化。IEGR对柴油机油耗有一定的改善效果,且随负荷率的减小,IEGR对油耗率的改善效果增强。 相似文献
