This article comprehensively analyzes the research achievements over the past 40 years of geology, geomorphology, seismic exploration, paleogeography, and oil and gas exploration in the Ordos Basin and Langshan. It recognizes that the northern part of the Ordos Basin experienced a meteorite impact in the Late Cretaceous period. The impact pushed the block northwest ward, subducting after colliding with igneous rocks in the north. This sudden event formed a clear arc-shaped mountain zone in the north and a wedge-shaped trench in front of the mountain. The chaotic layers, prolonged and continuous faults, and numerous thrust layers in the Langshan, a negative anomaly area in the center of the northern Ordos, abnormal orientation of crystalline basement structures in the north of Ordos, Moho uplift, and distribution of meteorite fragments in the northwest of Langshan, all of these geological phenomena support the occurrence of the meteorite impact event, forming the arc-shaped Langshan and the Trench.展开更多

In the process of analysis, the tloating breakwater is assumed to be rigid, thin, vertical, and immovable and located in water with constant depth. The fluid domain is divided into two regions by imaginary interface. The velocity potential in each region is expanded by eigenfunction in the context of linear theory. By satisfying continuity of pressure and normal velocity across the imaginary fluid interface, a set of linear algebraic equations can be obtained to determine the unknown coefficients for eigenfunction expansions. The accuracy of the present model was verified by a comparison with existing results for the case of arc-shaped floating breakwater. Numerical results, in the form of contour maps of the non-dimensional wave amplitude around the breakwater and diffracted wave amplitude at typical sections, are presented for a range of wave and breakwater parameters. Results show that the sheltering effects on the arc-shaped floating perforated breakwater are closely related to the incident wavelength, the draft and the porosity of the breakwater.展开更多

In this study, the FUNWAVE model was used to calculate the wave-induced currents in the Haller experiment and the ideal arc-shaped coast similar to Sanya Dadonghai, Hainan Province,China. The results showed that the FUNWAVE model has considerable ability to simulate the rip currents, and it was used to further simulate rip currents off arc-shaped coastlines to investigate their characteristics. The rip currents were found to be stronger as the curvature of arc-shaped coastline increased. Coastal beach slope exerts a significant influence on rip currents; in particular, an overly steep or overly mild slope is not conducive to creating rip currents. Furthermore, the rip currents were found to become weaker as the size of arc-shaped coast decreased. When the height and period of waves increase, the strength of rip currents also increases, and, in some cases, wave heights of 0.4 m may produce dangerous rip currents.展开更多

By comparing with other three designs of plate type breakwater(lower arc-shaped plate, single horizontal plate and double horizontal plate), this new type breakwater has been proved more effective. The wave exiting force, transmission and reflection coefficients are analyzed and discussed. In order to reveal the wave elimination mechanism of this type of breakwater, the velocity field around the breakwater is obtained. It is shown that:(1) The sway exciting force is minimal.(2) When the ratio of the submergence and wave amplitude is 0.05, the wave elimination effect will increase by 50% compared with other three types of breakwater.(3) The obvious backflow is found above the plate in the velocity field analysis.展开更多

Based on ABAQUS/Explicit nonlinear finite element software, the finite element model of the multi-pass DRCS for the sheet metal is established, and the material model, the contact definition, the mesh generation, the loading trajectory and other key technical problems are solved. The simulations on the multi-pass DRCS of the ordinary Q235A steel cylindrical part with the arc-shaped surface flange are carried out. The effects of number of spinning passes on the production efficiency, the spinning moment, the shape error of the workpiece, and the wall thickness distribution of the final part are obtained. It is indicated definitely that with the increase of the number of spinning passes the geometrical precision of the spun part increases while the production efficiency reduces. Moreover, the variations of the spinning forces and the distributions of the stresses, strains, wall thickness during the multi-pass DRCS process are revealed. It is indicated that during the DRCS process the radical force is the largest, and the whole deformation area shows the tangential tensile strain and the radial compressive strain, while the thickness strain changes along the generatrix directions from the compressive strain on the outer edge of the flange to the tensile strain on the inner edge of the flange. Based on the G-CNC6135 NC lathe, the three-axis linkage computer-controlled experimental device for DRCS which is driven by the AC servo motor is developed. And then using the experimental device, the Q235A cylindrical parts with the arc-shape surface flange are formed by the DRCS. The simulation results of spun parts have good consistency with the experimental results, which verifies the feasibility of DRCS process and the reliability of the finite element model for DRCS.展开更多

The breakwater was assumed to be rigid, thin, impermeable and vertically located in water of constant depth. The fluid domain was divided into two regions by imaginary cylindrical interface. The velocity potential in each region was expanded with cigcnfunctions. By satisfying continuity of pressure and normal velocity across the imaginary fluid interface, a set of linear algebraic equations could be obtained to determine the unknown coefficients for eigenfunction expansions. The accuracy of the present model was verified by a comparison with existing results for the case of an isolated straight-line breakwater. Numerical results, in the form of contour maps of the non-dimensional wave amplitude around the breakwater and diffracted wave amplitude at three typical sections, were presented for a range of wave parameters. Results show the arc-shaped bottom-mounted breakwater is generally effective in defending against waves. The wave amplitudes at most sheltered areas are commonly 10%-50% of incident wave amplitudes under most wave conditions.展开更多

The cylindrical structure consists of dual arc-shaped porous outer cylinders circumscribing an impermeable inner cylinder. A central feature of the newly extended method is that two virtual outer cylinders extending the arc-shaped porous outer cylinders with the same centre are introduced and variable porous-effect parameters are also introduced for the two virtual cylinders, so that the final SBFEM quation still can be handled in a closed-form analytical manner in the radial direction and by a finite element approximation in the circumferential direction. The entire computational domain is divided into two bounded and one unbounded domains, and a variational principle formulation is used to derive the SBFEM equation in each sub-domain. The velocity potential in bounded and unbounded domains is formulated using sets of Bessel and Hankel functions respectively, and the unknown coefficients are determined from the matching conditions. The results of numerical verification show that the approach discretises only the outermost virtual cylinder with surface finite-elements and fewer elements are required to obtain very accurate results.Influences of the incident wave parameters and structural configurations on the hydrodynamics are examined.展开更多

The debonding regions are modeled as mul- tiple arc-shaped interface cracks with non-contacting faces. By expressing the scattered ?elds as wave function expansions with unknown coe?cients, the mixed boundary value problem is ?rstly reduced to a set of simultaneous dual series equations. Then dislocation density functions are introduced as unknowns to transform these dual series equations into Cauchy singular integral equations of the ?rst type, which can be numerically solved easily. The solution is valid for arbi- trary number and size of the debonds. Finally, numerical results of the dynamic stress intensity factors are presented for the cases of one debond and two debonds. The e?ects of incidence direc- tion, crack con?guration and various material parameters on the dynamic stress intensity factors are respectively discussed. The solution of this problem is expected to ?nd applications in the investigation of dynamic fracture properties of piezoelectric materials with cracks.展开更多

The ME effect is measured by applying both constant and alternating magnetic fields in longitudinal and transverse directions. The longitudinal ME voltage coefficient is much larger than the transverse one. With the increase of arc length or decrease of curvature, the resonance frequency of layered arc Ni/PZT/Ni composites gradually decreases, while the maximum of the ME voltage coefficient of the composites increases monotonously. The influence of the arc length and the curvature on ME coupling is discussed. The flat interface between the ferromagnetic and the piezoelectric phases in layered ME composites is believed to provide large ME voltage coefficient.展开更多

文摘A decagonal quasicrystal, which is weakened by an arc-shaped crackpenetrating through the solid in the period direction, and which is subjected to remote uniformphonon stresses, is investigated by applying the complex variable method which is just developed bythe authors. It is found that the phonon and phason stresses near the crack tips exhibit inversesquare root singularities. The four complex stress functions characterizing the phonon and phasonfields are derived. Explicit expressions for the phonon and phason stress intensity factors, crackopening displacements and energy release rate are also presented.

文摘Slurry-infiltrated fiber concrete(SIFCON)is a sort of strain hardening cement-based composite material,typically made with 5%–20%steel fibers.This study focused on a novel type of SIFCON in which hooked-end steel fibers were replaced by arc-shaped steel fibers.The quasi-static compressive properties of the SIFCON were first measured.Test results suggested that using arc-shaped steel fibers in lieu of hooked-end steel fibers increased the quasi-static compressive strength by 47.1%and the strain at peak stress by 56.3%.We attribute these improvements to new crack-resisting mechanisms,namely“fiber crosslock”,“dual bridging”,and“confinement loops”,when the arc-shaped steel fibers are introduced into SIFCON.As high impact resistance is a special property of SIFCON that is of practical significance,the dynamic compressive properties of arc-shaped steel fiber SIFCON were studied by using an 80-mm-diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB).The results showed that the dynamic compressive strength,dynamic increase factor(DIF),and dynamic toughness of SIFCON all increased with the strain rate.The SIFCON incorporating arc-shaped steel fibers proved to have significant advantages in structural applications requiring high impact resistance.

文摘An analytical method was developed to study the wave diffraction effects on arc-shaped bottom-mounted breakwaters. The breakwater was assumed to be rigid, thin, impermeable and vertically located in water of constant depth. The fluid domain was divided into two regions by imaginary cylindrical interface. The velocity potential in each region was expanded with cigcnfunctions. By satisfying continuity of pressure and normal velocity across the imaginary fluid interface, a set of linear algebraic equations could be obtained to determine the unknown coefficients for eigenfunction expansions. The accuracy of the present model was verified by a comparison with existing results for the case of an isolated straight-line breakwater. Numerical results, in the form of contour maps of the non-dimensional wave amplitude around the breakwater and diffracted wave amplitude at three typical sections, were presented for a range of wave parameters. Results show the arc-shaped bottom-mounted breakwater is generally effective in defending against waves. The wave amplitudes at most sheltered areas are commonly 10%-50% of incident wave amplitudes under most wave conditions.

文摘This study examines the hydrodynamic performance of short-crested wave interaction with a new porous cylindrical structure by using the scaled boundary finite element method （SBFEM）, which is a semi-analytical technique combining the advantages of the finite element method and the boundary element method and with its own special features as well. The cylindrical structure consists of dual arc-shaped porous outer cylinders circumscribing an impermeable inner cylinder. A central feature of the newly extended method is that two virtual outer cylinders extending the arc-shaped porous outer cylinders with the same centre are introduced and variable porous-effect parameters are also introduced for the two virtual cylinders, so that the final SBFEM quation still can be handled in a closed-form analytical manner in the radial direction and by a finite element approximation in the circumferential direction. The entire computational domain is divided into two bounded and one unbounded domains, and a variational principle formulation is used to derive the SBFEM equation in each sub-domain. The velocity potential in bounded and unbounded domains is formulated using sets of Bessel and Hankel functions respectively, and the unknown coefficients are determined from the matching conditions. The results of numerical verification show that the approach discretises only the outermost virtual cylinder with surface finite-elements and fewer elements are required to obtain very accurate results.Influences of the incident wave parameters and structural configurations on the hydrodynamics are examined.

文摘An analytical method was developed to study the wave diffraction on are-shaped floating breakwaters. The floating breakwater was assumed to be rigid, thin, vertical, immovable and located in water of constant depth. The fluid domain was divided into two regions by imaginary interface, The velocity potential in each region is expanded by eigenfunctions. By satisfying continuity of pressure and normal velocity across the imaginary fluid interface, a set of linear algebraic equations could be obtained to determine the unknown coefficients for eigenfunctions. The accuracy of present model and the computer program were verified by a comparison with ex isting results for the case of arc-shaped bottom-mounted breakwaters. Numerical results, in the form of contour maps of the non-dimension wave amplitude around the breakwater, were presented for a range of wave and breakwater parame ters. Results show the wave diffraction on the arc-shaped floating breakwater is related to the incident wavelength and the draft of the breakwater.

文摘Thermally activated building envelopes(TABEs)are multifunctional component that combines structural and energy properties.Based on re-examining the heat charging processes,an arc-shaped metal-fin-enhanced TABE(Arc-finTABE)with directional heat charging features is proposed to optimize the thermal barrier formation process.A comprehensive parameterized analysis is conducted based on a validated mathematical model to explore the influence of 5 fin-structure design parameters and the static insulation thickness.Results verified that the directional charging strengthening fins can improve transient thermal performances of Arc-finATBE and enlarge horizontal and vertical sizes of the thermal energy accumulation area surrounding the pipeline,while the maximum growth in extra heat loss is less than 3.17%.From the perspective of promoting heat injection into expected areas,the straight main fin configurations with the angle of main fins of 30°,shank length ratio of 0.4 and no leftward mounted fins are preferred in load-reduction mode,while the angle of main fins of 150°,shank length ratio of 0.8 and multiple fin designs,especially with one of the main fins horizontally toward the indoor side,are more favorable in auxiliary-heating mode.Besides,it is recommended to add one arc-shaped branch fin to each main fin to achieve a balance between performance improvement and material usage.Moreover,branch fins with larger arc angles are preferred in auxiliary-heating mode,while smaller arc angles are conducive to injecting heat into the wall along main fins in load-reduction mode and preventing the heat near the inner surface from being extracted.Under the direct influence of the strengthened invisible thermal barrier,Arc-finTABEs can reduce the amount of static insulation layer by 20%–80%while achieving equivalent thermal performances as conventional high-performance walls.

文摘The scattering of SH wave by a cylindrical piezoelectric inclusion partially debonded from its surrounding piezoelectric material is investigated using the wave function expansion method and singular integral equation technique. The debonding regions are modeled as mul- tiple arc-shaped interface cracks with non-contacting faces. By expressing the scattered ?elds as wave function expansions with unknown coe?cients, the mixed boundary value problem is ?rstly reduced to a set of simultaneous dual series equations. Then dislocation density functions are introduced as unknowns to transform these dual series equations into Cauchy singular integral equations of the ?rst type, which can be numerically solved easily. The solution is valid for arbi- trary number and size of the debonds. Finally, numerical results of the dynamic stress intensity factors are presented for the cases of one debond and two debonds. The e?ects of incidence direc- tion, crack con?guration and various material parameters on the dynamic stress intensity factors are respectively discussed. The solution of this problem is expected to ?nd applications in the investigation of dynamic fracture properties of piezoelectric materials with cracks.

文摘Magnetoelectric （ME） layered Ni/PZT/Ni composites with arc shape have been prepared by using electroless deposition. The ME effect is measured by applying both constant and alternating magnetic fields in longitudinal and transverse directions. The longitudinal ME voltage coefficient is much larger than the transverse one. With the increase of arc length or decrease of curvature, the resonance frequency of layered arc Ni/PZT/Ni composites gradually decreases, while the maximum of the ME voltage coefficient of the composites increases monotonously. The influence of the arc length and the curvature on ME coupling is discussed. The flat interface between the ferromagnetic and the piezoelectric phases in layered ME composites is believed to provide large ME voltage coefficient.
