Phase change analysis of an underwater glider propelled by the ocean's thermal energy

The phase change characteristic of the power source of an underwater glider propelled by the ocean's thermal energy is the key factor in glider attitude control. A numerical model has been established based on the enthalpy method to analyze the phase change heat transfer process under convective boundary conditions. Phase change is not an isothermal process,but one that occurs at a range of temperature. The total melting time of the material is very sensitive to the surrounding temperature. When the temperature of the surroundings decreases 8 degrees,the total melting time increases 1.8 times. But variations in surrounding temperature have little effect on the initial temperature of phase change,and the slope of the temperature time history curve remains the same. However,the temperature at which phase change is completed decreases significantly. Our research shows that the phase change process is also affected by container size,boundary conditions,and the power source's cross sectional area. Materials stored in 3 cylindrical containers with a diameter of 38mm needed the shortest phase change time. Our conclusions should be helpful in effective design of underwater glider power systems.

Study of Tunneling Technology in Tertiary Sandy Mudstone Strata with Rich Water under High Pressure: Case Study of Shuangfeng Tunnel of Mudanjiang Suifenhe Railway（第三系高压富水砂泥岩地层隧道技术研究——以牡绥铁路双丰隧道为例）

In order to deal with the technical problems of Shuangfeng Tunnel passing through water rich Tertiary sandy mudstone strata with long distance and big overburden, such as dewatering, advance reinforcement, structural design and construction method etc., reducing tunnel deformation, preventing water inrush, gushing mud and tunnel collapse, the technical route of "stereo exploration, pressure reduction by water releasing, pre grouting, supporting timely, overall monitoring" is established after the field test and data analysis. Methods of full dimensional exploration and water pressure reducing are proposed, which form the preceding reinforcing technology that are different between inside the excavation contour and outside the excavation contour. Support linings are constructed immediately after excavation of upper bench. Safety performance of tunnel structure is evaluated according to the monitoring results. The research is conducted based on Shuangfeng Tunnel and the study results are applied in the construction of the tunnel. Results indicate that it can make sense to control deformation and ensure safety by using methods of reducing pressure through full dimensional water release, adopting advance reinforcement measures that are different between inside the excavation contour and outside the excavation contour, proposing mini bench method during tunnel construction and supporting timely after excavation for tunnels passing through water rich Tertiary sandy mudstone strata.

CTOD Testing and Evaluation for Weld Joint of UOE Pipeline Steel

根据英国标准BS7448,对UOE直缝埋弧焊管不同钢级管线钢焊接接头进行裂纹尖端张开位移(CTOD)断裂韧度测试.结合加拿大标准CSA Z662-07及挪威船级社规范NDV-OS-F101,在试样形式选择、缺口取样方向、后期金相检验等方面对断裂韧性评定方法加以完善.试验结果表明X70、X65级管线钢均具有良好韧性,符合规范NDV-OS-F101的要求.X70级管线钢焊接接头各区域韧性分布规律为:母材性能最好,焊缝次之,热影响区(HAZ)相对较差.X65级管线钢其HAZ的韧性优于母材和焊缝.其原因是:X65级钢母材含有一定气孔、夹杂,断口出现分层裂纹,导致CTOD结果分散性大.另外,X65焊缝组织为混晶组织分布不均,含有大量M-A脆性组织物,导致韧性下降.该评定结果为海底管线钢制造工艺改进提供了依据,也为海洋工程结构安全性评估奠定了基础.     

Enhancing Speech Recognition for Parkinson's Disease Patient Using Transfer Learning Technique

Parkinson's disease patients suffer from disorders of speech.The most frequently reported speech problems are weak,hoarse,nasal or monotonous voice,imprecise articulation,slow or fast speech,difficulty starting speech,impaired stress or rhythm,stuttering,and tremor.To improve the speech quality and assist the patient with speech rehabilitation therapy,we have proposed the speech recognition model for Parkinson's disease patients using transfer learning technique (PSTL),where we have pre-trained the long short-term memory (LSTM)neural network model with our developed publicly available dataset that has been obtained from healthy people through the social media platform.Then,we applied the transfer learning technique to improve the performance of the PSTL framework.The frequency spectrogram masking data augmentation method has been used to alleviate the over-fitting problem so that the word error rate (WER) is further reduced.Even with a limited dataset,our proposed model has effectively reduced the WER from 58％ to 44.5％ on the original speech dataset and 53.1％ to 43％ on the denoised speech dataset,which demonstrated the feasibility of our framework.
