摘要：
This paper presents a Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) epidemic model for a continuous human population of super-spreading infected individuals. The model uses a generalized fractal-fractional derivative with the Mittag-Leffler function to analyze transmission, considering different infection stages, and demonstrates the effectiveness of certain individuals as viral spreaders. Using linear growth and Lipschitz requirements, the study determines the existence, uniqueness, positiveness, and boundedness of a proposed fractional-order system in order to assess its viability. The global stability of equilibrium points is verified by the Lyapunov function, and the effects of the model's parameters are investigated through sensitivity analysis. To comprehend the model's behavior and create preventative measures for infected people, a numerical simulation of its activity is also carried out. By offering a more realistic depiction of virus behavior at various dimensions and population effects, the fractal-fractional model enhances comprehension and forecasts. The results highlight the importance of fractional order and its fitting function in the model by demonstrating how input parameters affect the dynamic behavior of RSV infection. Such an investigation will aid in understanding the behavior of the RSV and develop prevention measures for infected individuals.

摘要：
Focused ultrasound has been widely used for the thermotherapy of soft tissue lesions. In this process, non-Fourier heat conduction and porous medium theory has to be considered because of non-homogeneous media. The study estimates the effects of the temperature lag and porous medium on the plaque ablation and drug treatment by focused ultrasound (FU). This study integrated TWMBT with the porous media heat transfer equation to characterize the internal temperature distribution within atherosclerotic plaque (AP) during FU application. The coupling equations are solved with finite element method. This paper focuses on the effects of porosity, permeability, and attenuation coefficient on the temperature and flow rate within the AP. The results consider artery wall thickness on heating of AP by FU. In addition, this study qualitatively analyzed the differences among the Pennes, TWMBT, and porous media heat conduction equations. The results show that the temperature responses of biological tissues exhibits lagging behaviors, which are inherently related to the physical time scale. Because of the disparities in the physical characteristics of the target and surrounding tissues, fluid flow within AP can have an impact on the distribution of tissue temperature, the direction of flow between solid tissues is determined by the permeability coefficient and ultrasonic intensity. The permeability coefficient, frequency and attenuation coefficient have a significant effect on the fluid flow within AP. Both heat dissipation and heat convergence are characteristics of fluid flow within the tissue, the focal location and the physical property parameters may affect the fluid heat dissipation and heat collection properties within the tissue. Furthermore, the temperature peak may not occur at the focus. The model can provide an analytical template for different types of precise thermal ablation AP, including radiofrequency ablation, microwave therapy, and laser ablation besides FU ablation, and can also provide a case for adjunctive drug transport.

Lotka-Volterra competition system;gap formation;forced pulsating waves;spreading dynamics;shifting media
摘要：
We study the propagation dynamics of a Lotka-Volterra competition system in which one growth rate behaves like a monotonically decreasing wave profile that shifts with a given speed and is also periodic in the first spatial variable, while the other growth rate behaves similarly, except that its profile is monotonically increasing with respect to the shifting variable. Furthermore, both growth functions are assumed to be sign-changed, which implies that the environments in which the species live switch spatially from 'good' regions (suitable for survival) to 'bad' regions (not suitable for survival) and vice versa. We reveal that the model admits a forced pulsating wave only when the forced speed lies within a finite interval (c & lowast;,c(& lowast;)) that contains zero. Biologically, this corresponds to the formation of a shifting cline. Moreover, we find that c(& lowast;)<0 and c(& lowast;)>0 can be calculated in terms of the Fisher-KPP speeds related to the linearized equations of each species. By applying a sliding technique, we show that the forced pulsating wave is unique. We also prove that the forced pulsating wave is Lyapunov-stable. Finally, the spreading dynamics of spatial gap formation in the two species are also investigated when the forced wave speed is either less than c(& lowast;) or greater that c(& lowast;). We employ a novel approach to demonstrate how the species invade in response to a shifting environment.

摘要：
Load following of the Modular High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (MHTGR) under Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) faults and disturbances remains a major challenge. This paper focuses on proposing a fixed-time fault-tolerant control method for this issue without considering the sensitivities associated with parameter setting. Firstly, to reconstruct some unmeasurable states of the MHTGR and the values of CRDM faults, an adaptive learning observer is established. Based on the learning characteristic of Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN), the lumped uncertainties can be approximated. And then a fixed-time fault-tolerant controller is developed to ensure that the actual load output of the MHTGR actually tracks the expected output power within a fixed time, which can be determined through the system and controller parameters. Finally, simulations under two operational conditions demonstrate the control method is effective and feasible to the MHTGR system under disturbance and CRDM faults.

Black holes;Regular Simpson-Visser black-bounce spacetime;Periastron advance
摘要：
In this paper, we present the second post-Newtonian solution for the quasi-Keplerian motion of a test particle in the regular Simpson-Visser black-bounce spacetime which has a bounce parameter $a$. The obtained solution is formulated in terms of the orbital energy, angular momentum, and the bounce parameter of the black hole. We explicitly analyze the leading effects of the bounce parameter, which has dimensions of length, on the test particle's orbit, including the periastron advance and orbital period. Then, we apply this model to the precessing motion of OJ 287 and determine the upper limits of the dimensionless bounce parameter as $a/m =3.45\pm 0.01$, where $m$ is the mass of the regular black hole. Compared with the bound given by the periastron advance of star S2, our bound on $a/m$ is reduced by one order of magnitude, although our upper limit of $a$ still needs further improvement.

fluid-conveying pipe;base excitation;impact vibration response;Pasternak base
摘要：
When the fluid-conveying pipe is buried on the surface of the base, it will not only suffer from rigid impact damage caused by base excitation and surrounding gravel, but also be affected by the characteristics of the base, which makes safety accidents extremely likely to occur during the operation of the fluid-conveying pipe. Based on the Hamilton principle, a mathematical model of simply supported fluid-conveying pipe structures with a rigid constraint on the Pasternak base under base excitation is established. The Galerkin method is used to discretize the equation of motion, and the NDFS algorithm is employed to solve the system of equations. The influence is discussed in terms of the base excitation frequency, internal flow rate, and the viscoelastic coefficient of the pipe on the model. Bifurcation diagrams, phase diagrams, Poincaré maps, and time-history curves under various parameters are used to analyze the impact vibration response of the fluid-conveying pipe system. The research shows that: grazing impact usually occurs when the system’s motion state changes under impact vibration, and at a lower base excitation frequency, grazing impact will induce incomplete chatter-impact vibration in the system; there is a particular dynamic law in the evolution between quasi-periodic motion and single-period non-impact vibration on the Poincaré map; the increase in the equivalent linear spring stiffness K and shear stiffness KG of the Pasternak base is beneficial for resisting the unstable factors caused by base excitation. The findings of this study provide theoretical support for the optimal design, operation maintenance, and safety assurance of fluid-conveying pipes on the Pasternak base.
摘要：
The dynamic behavior of fluid-conveying pipes can lead to significant safety hazards when subjected to impact vibrations, influenced by complex operational environments such as base excitations, distributed follower forces, and support looseness. A model for the impact vibration of a simply supported, rigidly constrained fluid-conveying pipe is established based on Hamilton's principle under the combined effects of base excitations and distributed follower forces. The Galerkin method and the NDFs (variable-order numerical differentiation formulas) algorithm are employed for discretizing and solving the equation, respectively. The influences of parameters on the model are discussed under the actions of the base excitation frequency, magnitude of distributed follower forces, and fluid velocity. The evolutionary pathways within the model the periodic motions, quasi-periodic motions, chaos are captured by the analysis of bifurcation diagrams, phase diagrams, Poincar & eacute; maps, and time-history curves. So are unique behaviors to rigid impacts such as chatter vibrations and wiping contacts, and the stable focus on the Poincar & eacute; map mutates into an attractor with a shape resembling a plum blossom under multi-source excitation. The research reveals that Plum blossom attractors provide critical transition markers for analyzing vibration evolution from stable focus to attracting circles. Low base excitation frequencies trigger chatter-impact vibrations. The findings of this study provide a theoretical basis for the engineering parameter settings or safe operation of fluid-conveying pipes under multi-source excitation.

摘要：
. In this article, we consider the upper semicontinuity of the uniform attractors for the singular perturbed second order nonautonomous delay lattice systems driven by the almost periodic forces as the coefficient of second order derivative term tends to zero under the Hausdorff semidistance. First we prove the existence of uniform attractors for the second order and the corresponding first order nonautonomous delay lattice systems. Then we establish some prior uniform estimations of solutions. Finally we study the upper semicontinuity of the uniform attractors as the coefficient of second order derivative term tends to zero which showing the relationship between the uniform attractors for second order and the corresponding first order nonautonomous delay lattice systems.

Physical field simulations demand efficient mesh deformation and adaptive refinement methods. This paper proposes a systematical method tailored to the specific needs of simulations. Interpolation-based methods are preferred for large-scale mesh deformation due to computational efficiency. Improving the inverse distance weighted method by introducing auxiliary nodes using the sub-mesh. A node smoothing algorithm based on layered mesh is also devised to enhance mesh deformation ability. Optimizing the convergence criterion greatly reduces computation time. To improve element quality after deformation and meet the requirement for iterative refinement of mesh in simulation, a mesh refinement method is proposed. To address challenges in inserting nodes into narrow spaces, a novel algorithm is developed, which integrates the boundary constraints with the longest-edge propagation path. The co-optimization of surface and tetrahedral meshes is achieved through an algorithm based on size-field and an improved surface priority insertion strategy. A boundary edge priority algorithm is proposed to preserve the fitness between mesh and geometry. Flow field examples demonstrate the method’s effectiveness in mesh deformation and the optimization of poor-quality elements. Electromagnetic simulation results show that, compared to commercial software, the method significantly reduces the number of elements after refinement while maintaining solver accuracy.

摘要：
In practical engineering, the unilateral gap constraint impact vibration in fluid-conveying pipes is a critical concern, often arising from constraint loosening or the presence of barriers around the pipe. These factors can significantly affect the service life and safety reliability of the pipes. A tension and compression anisotropy spring with rapidly increasing restoring force in compression but almost zero restoring force in tension is proposed to simulate the unilateral gap constraint, model a fluid-conveying pipe with a Pfluger column. Its reliability is also verified based on the bifurcation phase diagram comparison between the small and large stiffness conditions. Subsequently, we establish a vibration mechanics analysis model for the cantilever fluid-conveying pipe under foundation excitation to assess the effects of basic excitation frequency, fluid velocity, distributed follower force, position coordinate of unilateral gap constraint, and the viscoelastic coefficient on the impact vibration stability of the fluid-conveying pipe. Our findings reveal that when the period-doubling bifurcation sequence is interrupted by Bare-grazing bifurcation, the system directly transitions into chaotic vibration or induces a new period-doubling bifurcation sequence, followed by re-entry into chaotic vibration. These results provide valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of fluid-conveying pipes under foundation excitation, offering a deeper understanding of the impact of various parameters on the pipe's vibration.

摘要：
The nonlinear vibrations developing in sheets and strips during rolling are of practical technological importance and of theoretical interest. However, the existing numerical methods adopted in research are plagued by problems such as computational inefficiency, difficulty in dealing with bifurcations, slow convergence and frequency cancellations. This study develops an analytical method for solving the problem of rolled strip quasi-periodic motions in the resonant state. First, the conventional incremental harmonic balance method is used to analyze the periodic response of a strip. Its nonlinear frequency response curve is obtained and the type of bifurcation along with its location is determined. Second, the quasi-periodic motion spectrum of the strip is characterized utilizing the fact that the adjacent frequencies in the side bands are equidistant from each other and contain two incommensurable fundamental frequencies. The fundamental frequencies of the strip quasi-periodic motion, as well as all of the frequency components and their corresponding amplitudes, are accurately resolved, especially the quasi-periodic motion response near the critical point. Finally, several numerical examples of the nonlinear vibrations exhibited by the rolled strip in the presence of internal resonance are investigated in depth to validate the proposed method performance and accuracy. These examples are concerned with the internal resonance with an even inherent frequency ratio of 1:6, which may arise during the rolling process, but remains relatively unexplored. The newly proposed method will add to the arsenal of available analytical techniques, expanding the capabilities of both researchers and practicing engineers.
摘要：
Cu-based self-lubricating composites have excellent mechanical properties and enhanced friction characteristics, rendering them ideal for aerospace wear parts. However, the significant mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) between them and counterparts, typically steel, would limit their widespread application. To address this issue, Ni50Fe powders with a low CTE are incorporated into Cu15Ni8Sn-MoS 2 composites via mixing and hot-pressed sintering, resulting in Cu15Ni8Sn-Ni50Fe-MoS 2 composites. The addition of Ni50Fe significantly reduces the CTE of the composites. When added in moderation, Ni50Fe can enhance the mechanical properties and wear resistance, despite a slight degradation in lubricity. The variations in mechanical and friction properties of the composites are attributed to the reaction of Cu and Fe with MoS 2 and the change of matrix composition. The composite containing 40 vol% Ni50Fe (N40) has the best comprehensive performance. Compared to the Cu15Ni8Sn-MoS 2 composite, the CTE of N40 is reduced by 13.7%, along with increases in hardness (5.2%), transverse rupture strength (19.1%), radial crushing strength (11.3%), and a reduction in wear rate (8.8%), although its friction coefficient increases by 15.4%.

摘要：
Based on the finite element method, the modulation of the bending wave bandgap and bending waveguide of locally resonant phononic crystal (PnC) plates via a thermal environment is investigated. First, the finite element model of the PnC subjected to a thermal field is introduced; then, the modulation behavior of the bending wave bandgap of the PnC under thermal flux is illustrated; finally, the tunable waveguide of the bending waveguide of the PnC supercell is proposed to be realized by setting up a local heat source. The results show that the injected heat flux causes the PnC unit cell band structure to move toward the low-frequency region while the relative bandgap width increases. The linear defect state of the PnC supercell structure is realized by introducing a local heat source, and a new band is added to the bending wave bandgap of the original supercell. The transmission loss of the bending wave is significantly higher than that of the bending wave bandgap of the supercell in the frequency interval of the linear defect of the supercell, and the frequency response vibrational modes of the supercell structure validate the feasibility of the thermally controlled bending waveguide. This method provides a flexible and efficient control strategy for the frequency tuning of the bending wave bandgap and waveguide.

摘要：
In this work, the adsorption properties of uranyl ions (UO2) on the surfaces of two-dimensional metallic materials Sb, LDH, and NiAl-LDH/Sb are investigated using density functional theory (DFT). The computational results show that LDH/Sb has the best adsorption performance for UO2. The electronic structure, charge transfer, and electronic localization function analyses reveal that UO2 undergoes electronic orbital coupling with Ni and Sb of LDH/Sb and transfers the highest number of charges among the three substrates, which enables its stable adsorption. The dependence of adsorption rate on temperature was calculated, and it is concluded that the desorption temperature of uranyl ions on the surface of LDH/Sb is the highest at 570 K. The results indicate that NiAl-LDH/Sb is a good adsorbent material for uranyl ions and, therefore, has application prospects in uranium extraction from seawater.

摘要：
In organic solar cells (OSCs), the molecular aggregation property of donor-acceptor bulk heterojunction (BHJ) architectures serves as a critical determinant in device performance. Nevertheless, the intrinsic steric constraints imposed by polymeric side chains frequently lead to metastable molecular packing configurations with diminished structural coherence. In this study, a morphological modulation strategy is proposed by adopting a 2D layered hydrotalcite (HDC) nanocrystal to regulate polymeric adsorption dynamics. By leveraging hydroxyl-directed interfacial coordination to HDC matrices, the nanocrystal-integrated BHJ systems manifest a pronounced donor-phase H-aggregation, synergistically coupled with reduced π-orbital overlap distances and enhanced long-range crystalline ordering. These nanoscale structural advancements collectively engender superior charge transfer kinetics with reduced activation energy barriers and improved charge carrier transport properties. The HDC nanocrystal-blended devices not only achieve a top-notch power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.63%, but also shows its applicability across various donor - acceptor BHJ systems. This work develops a crystal-engineering strategy that concurrently optimizes nanoscale morphology and charge transport networks in OSCs, yielding state-of-the-art device performance through synergistic structural-electronic modulation.
