Mode jumping in the lateral buckling of subsea pipelines

Unburied subsea pipelines under high-temperature conditions tend to relieve their axial compressive stress by forming localised lateral buckles. This phenomenon is traditionally studied under the assumption of a specific lateral deflection profile (mode) consisting of a fixed number of lobes. We study lateral thermal buckling as a genuinely localised buckling phenomenon by applying homoclinic (‘flat’) boundary conditions. By not having to assume a particular buckling mode we are in a position to study transitions between these traditional modes in typical loading sequences. For the lateral resistance we take a realistic nonlinear pipe-soil interaction model for partially embedded pipelines. We find that for soils with appreciable breakout resistance, i.e., nonmonotonicity of the lateral resistance characteristic, sudden jumps between modes may occur. We consider both symmetric and antisymmetric solutions. The latter turn out to require much higher temperature differences between pipe and environment for the jumps to be induced. We carry out a parameter study on the effect of various pipe-soil interaction parameters on this mode jumping. Away from the jumps post-buckling solutions are reasonably well described by the traditional modes whose analytical expressions may be used during preliminary design.     

盾构下坡掘进对推进阻力的影响研究

以神华新街6°煤矿斜井盾构工程为背景,针对盾构下坡掘进工况,通过建立盾构上作用的水土压力载荷与坡度的数学关系模型,推导出推进阻力与坡度的数学公式。结合工程实例,计算水平掘进与6°下坡掘进各推进阻力值,并利用MATLAB软件绘制下坡掘进时推进阻力随坡度变化的曲线。结果表明:1)6°下坡掘进的总推进阻力相对于水平掘进仅减小了约8%,坡度小于13°时,可通过水平掘进时的推进阻力减去重力沿掘进轴线上的分量来近似求得,且偏差小于10%;2)总推进阻力会随坡角的不断增大而减小;3)当坡度大于50.4°后,盾构有自动向下滑移的趋势,刀盘将自动压紧开挖面,导致刀具自动嵌入开挖面,增加了启动扭矩与换刀的难度。

Direct yaw moment control and power consumption of in-wheel motor vehicle in steady-state turning

Driving force distribution control is one of the characteristic performance aspects of in-wheel motor vehicles and various methods have been developed to control direct yaw moment while turning. However, while these controls significantly enhance vehicle dynamic performance, the additional power required to control vehicle motion still remains to be clarified. This paper constructed new formulae of the mechanism by which direct yaw moment alters the cornering resistance and mechanical power of all wheels based on a simple bicycle model, including the electric loss of the motors and the inverters. These formulation results were validated by an actual test vehicle equipped with in-wheel motors in steady-state turning. The validated theory was also applied to a comparison of several different driving force distribution mechanisms from the standpoint of innate mechanical power.     

2型糖尿病患者一级亲属正常糖代谢人群胰岛素抵抗分析

目的探讨2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者糖耐量正常的一级亲属胰岛β细胞功能及胰岛素抵抗情况,并分析胰岛素抵抗的相关因素。方法选取T2DM患者糖耐量正常的一级亲属63例,根据胰岛素抵抗指数分为胰岛素抵抗组及非抵抗组;选取30例健康体检者作为正常对照组。对所选的93例对象进行血压、血糖、胰岛素、血脂的测定,并计算稳态模型胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR)及胰岛β细胞功能指数(HOMA-β)。结果①糖尿病患者一级亲属组与对照组相比,胰岛素水平、HOMA-IR、HOMA-β明显升高(P<0.05);②胰岛素抵抗组体质指数、舒张压、甘油三酯、餐后血糖、HOMA-β明显高于胰岛素非抵抗组(P<0.05);③相关分析示胰岛素抵抗与体质指数、舒张压、甘油三酯、餐后胰岛素呈正相关(P<0.01,P<0.05),与空腹血糖、餐后血糖、空腹胰岛素、收缩压、胆固醇无显著相关性(P>0.05)。结论T2DM患者一级亲属存在胰岛β细胞代偿性的高分泌,早期已经出现胰岛素敏感性的下降和胰岛素抵抗。胰岛素抵抗与体重增加、舒张压升高及甘油三酯的升高有关。提示对糖尿病患者一级亲属应严格控制体重、血压及血脂,对减少T2DM具有积极意义。
