Three-dimensional and anisotropic numerical analysis of a PEM fuel cell

In this study, the effects of cell temperature and relative humidity on charge transport parameters are numerically analyzed. In order to perform this analysis, three-dimensional and anisotropic numerical models are developed. The numerical models are integrated into the experimental values for anisotropic electrical conductivities, as depending on cell temperature and relative humidity, that were obtained from our previous study. The achieved results indicate that the values of current densities in the in-plane direction increase with increasing cell temperature and relative humidity, while the current densities reach a maximum in the rib regions for both the numerical model at the through-plane direction. The behaviors of electrolyte potentials are similar with changes in the cell temperature and relative humidity. In addition, the cathode electrical potentials in both the in-plane direction and through-plane direction do not change to a considerable amount with increasing cell temperature and relative humidity.     

Temperature cycling and its effect on mechanical behaviours of highporosity chalks

Temperature history can have a significant effect on the strength of water-saturated chalk.In this study,hydrostatic stress cycles are applied to understand the mechanical response of chalk samples exposed to temperature cycling between each stress cycle,compared to the samples tested at a constant temperature.The total accumulated strain during a stress cycle and the irreversible strain are reported.Chalk samples from Kansas(USA)and Mons(Belgium),with different degrees of induration(i.e.amount of contact cementation),were used.The samples were saturated with equilibrated water(polar)and nonpolar Isopar H oil to quantify water weakening.All samples tested during 10 stress cycles with varying temperature(i.e.temperature cycled in between each stress cycle)accumulated more strain than those tested at constant temperatures.All the stress cycles were performed at 30℃.The two chalk types behaved similarly when saturated with Isopar H oil,but differently when saturated with water.When saturated with water,the stronger Kansas chalk accumulated more total strain and more irreversible strain within each stress cycle than the weaker Mons chalk.     

3D velocity from 3D Doppler radial velocity

We present local least squares and regularization frameworks for computing 3D velocity (3D optical flow) from 3D radial velocity measured by a Doppler radar. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithms quantitatively on synthetic radial velocity data and qualitatively on real radial velocity data, obtained from the Doppler radar at Kurnell Radar station, Botany Bay, New South Wales, Australia. Radial velocity can be used to predict the future positions of storms in sequences of Doppler radar datasets.© 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Imaging Syst Technol, 15, 189–198, 2005

叠前地震数据的规则化

本文通过对动校正前积分法DMO原理的探讨，在借鉴Canning(1996)提出的利用DMO实现三维数据规则化的方法和Biondi(1998)提出的三维叠前地震数据方位角校正方法的基础上，从方位角校正的角度入手，利用DMO和DMO^-1相结合的处理流程对地震数据进行规则化，以得到新的规则的观测系统下具有所需特定方位角的观测数据。此方法可用于解决叠前地震数据道插值、陆上地震勘探中不规则观测数据的规则化和海上地震勘探中的羽状现象校正等问题，可将已有地震观测数据转变为特定观测系统的叠前地震数据，以便于某些处理方法的应用。此方法原理简单并具有广泛的适用性。

Solving regularized least squares with qualitatively controlled adaptive cross‐approximated matrices

The adaptive cross‐approximation (ACA) technique is applied to accelerating an inverse‐problem solver that estimates charge distribution on a dielectric spacer. The ACA generates an approximated system‐matrix that enables us to carry out high‐speed inverse calculation. We designed an approximation procedure based on ACA with some additional concepts, that is, (a) partitioning of matrix based on algebraic information, (b) approximation quality control based on matrix norms, and so on. The tested solver (LSQR for regularized least squares) with ACA demonstrates about 10 times faster performance than that without ACA. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A method for evaluating the mechanical performance of thin-walled titanium tubes

A method which was developed to compare the stress–strain properties of three types of thin-walled, commercially pure titanium tubes is presented. The tubes were of types intended for use in large heat-exchanger applications and were to be subjected to significant plastic deformation during subsequent assembly processes. It had been anticipated that small differences in chemical composition and tube-drawing treatment would produce quite different characteristics. It is known that the properties of titanium can exhibit considerable degrees of anisotropy, especially for wrought products; although axial properties of the materials could be evaluated using standard test equipment and procedures, a novel testing system had to be designed to allow the circumferential properties to be assessed. Significant differences between tube types were observed and anisotropic material behaviour was apparent.     

基于正则总体最小二乘准则的OFDM系统信道估计算法

基于导频的最小二乘(LS)估计方法的优点是结构简单,容易实现,但对噪声和干扰敏感。通过对OFDM系统中由于信道的时变性产生的载波间干扰进行了分析,在此基础上提出正则总体最小二乘(TLS)信道估计算法。根据Tikhonov正则化原理,导出了总体最小二乘正则化解法的计算公式。与一般的LS信道估计相比,TLS方法同时考虑了信道噪声和信道时变特性,所以该算法不仅在一般的信道条件下具有良好的性能而且也适合快变信道条件下的OFDM系统。仿真结果表明,该算法具有很好的均方误差和误比特率性能。
