High-pressure dc sputtering of High-Tc BPSCCO thin films withTc(0) above 100 K

High-T _c Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O thin films have been made on single-crystal MgO substrates using high-pressure dc sputtering technique. X-ray studies confirm the crystallinity and highly oriented structure withc-axis perpendicular to the substrate. By optimizing the annealing schedule the formation of the high-T _c phase is stabilized. The best film exhibited superconducting transition temperature with zero-resistance temperature,T _c(0), as high as 101 K. Temperature dependence ofJ _c indicates the presence of Josephson-type weak links.     

High-field magnetic and transport critical current density of Sm-Ba-Cu-O: Agx superconductors at low temperature

Variation of magnetic critical current density (J _mc) and transport critical current density (J _tc) in high magnetic fields at liquid helium temperature were investigated on Sm-Ba-Cu-O: Ag _x (x=0.0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6) superconducting samples prepared by the coprecipitation technique.T _c and crystallographic parameters remain unaffected by Ag addition. However, bothJ _mc andJ _tc were found to increase on Ag addition. The volume pinning force (F _p) also increased with increase in Ag concentration, resulting in stronger flux line sheer. Microwave-induced d.c. voltage measurement shows a significant reduction of the total number of weak links between the superconducting grains with increasing concentration of Ag, which creates stronger pinning potentials between the boundary of the superconducting intergrains. Hence, the volume pinning force is greatly enhanced by Ag addition, leading to flux line lattice movement which is responsible for highJ _mc andJ _tc.     

Design,dynamic modelling and experimental validation of a 2DOF flexible antenna sensor

A two-degree-of-freedom flexible antenna sensor platform was designed to physically simulate the ability of a robotic arm, which rapidly reorients and targets itself towards specific surfaces from different approachable angles. An accurate antenna model involves non-linear expressions that represent the system dynamics. Therefore, a comprehensive study along with experimental work has been carried out in order to achieve accurate system identification and validate the dynamic model. The model developed has proven useful in controlling the antenna tip, minimising the effects of the non-linear flexural dynamics and the Coulomb friction. The system was driven by servo motors. Algebraic controllers were developed for the antenna tip to track the reference trajectory. The platform system used encoders to measure the joint angles and a loadcell sensor to obtain the flexible link tip position. To validate the sensory information, the results obtained by the integrated sensors were compared to that of an external camera system.     

Gel chromatographic investigation of p-benzoquinone and styrene products copolymerized in the presence of BF3·OEt2

The molecular weight distribution of copolymers of p-benzoquinone and styrene was studied by g.p.c.. It was shown that the products synthesized have low molecular weights and narrow MWD. p-Benzoquinone was found to be a copolymer macromolecule regulator.     

融合主题相似度权重的主题社区发现模型

社交网络结构错综复杂,主题社区是进行个性化推荐和商业推广的重要途径之一。然而,现有主题社区挖掘方法,要么仅基于链接关系和文本信息挖掘主题社区,要么在已划分社区的基础上挖掘主题,忽略了主题与社区的相互作用,导致社区内部话题相似度不高。因此,提出新的社区主题计算方法,进而建立一种融合主题相似度权重的主题社区发现模型（TSWTCD）。利用文本信息提取主题,计算节点间主题相似度作为链接权重,将链接权重作为模块度参数划分社区。最后,根据提出新的社区主题计算方法得到社区主题。基于真实数据集的实验结果表明,TSWTCD模型提升了挖掘主题社区的质量。     

端板连接耗能梁段偏心支撑钢框架滞回性能研究

应用ANSYS软件对端板连接耗能梁段偏心支撑钢框架进行非线性有限元分析。采用梁单元和实体单元联合建模,定义点-面接触并使用MPC算法实现梁单元和实体单元的连接。对已有试验试件进行模拟,计算结果与试验结果吻合较好。根据相关研究成果,结合我国现行设计规范,考虑高强螺栓直径及连接端板厚度等参数的影响,设计了8个端板连接耗能梁段偏心支撑钢框架结构模型。有限元分析表明:端板连接耗能梁段偏心支撑钢框架具有良好的延性和耗能能力;螺栓直径过小会导致连接的破坏先于耗能梁段,按照规范设计的连接满足结构受力要求;耗能梁段端板太薄会造成端板变形过大,导致连接节点破坏,建议厚度取值不应小于连接螺栓的直径。

Finite‐time asynchronous filtering for discrete‐time Markov jump systems over a lossy network

This paper is concerned with the problem of finite‐time asynchronous filtering for a class of discrete‐time Markov jump systems. The communication links between the system and filter are assumed to be unreliable, which lead to the simultaneous occurrences of packet dropouts, time delays, sensor nonlinearity and nonsynchronous modes. The objective is to design a filter that ensures not only the mean‐square stochastic finite‐time bounded but also a prescribed level of performance for the underlying error system over a lossy network. With the help of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii approach and stochastic analysis theory, sufficient conditions are established for the existence of an admissible filter. By using a novel simple matrix decoupling approach, a desired asynchronous filter can be constructed. Finally, a numerical example is presented and a pulse‐width‐modulation‐driven boost converter model is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Weak-link behavior in superconducting thick films

The surface impedance of melt-processed thick films of YBa₂Cu₃O_7–x on yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates has been measured as a function of temperature over the frequency range 9–18 GHz using an endwall replacement technique. The temperature dependence of both the penetration depth and the surface resistance of thisp-type cuprate system can be described within a two-gap weak-link model. The surface resistance scaled to 10 GHz by the observedf ² frequency dependence gives a value of 1.8 m at 77 K, which compares favorably with the lowest reported values for thick films of this material at microwave frequencies. Trends in material processing indicate that increasing the grain size would further decrease the surface resistance at microwave frequencies.
