Abstract Craniocerebral injuries represent the primary cause of fatalities among riders involved in two-wheeler accidents; nevertheless, the prevalence of helmet usage among these riders remains alarmingly low. Consequently, the accurate identification of riders who are wearing safety helmets is of paramount importance. Current detection algorithms exhibit several limitations, including inadequate accuracy, substantial model size, and suboptimal performance in complex environments with small targets. To address these challenges, we propose a novel lightweight detection algorithm, termed GL-YOLOv5, which is an enhancement of the You Only Look Once version 5 (YOLOv5) framework. This model incorporates a Global DualPooling… More >

Abstract 3D printing technology has demonstrated considerable potential in wastewater remediation. Zero-valent metal (ZVM) has been recognized as an efficient catalyst facilitating the organic pollutant degradation in water. However, owing to its inclination toward oxidation and aggregation, the practical utilization of ZVM remains a challenge. Herein, we have employed 3D printing techniques to fabricate hierarchically porous ZVM, such as zero-valent copper and zero-valent iron, which exhibit a high level of printing precision and commendable resistance to compression. These 3D-ZVM catalysts can effectively activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS), thereby degrading various organic pollutants, including tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, rhodamine B, and… More >

Abstract Drying and calendering processes are crucial in electrode manufacturing, as they significantly affect the mechanical and electrochemical performances of lithium-ion batteries. In this study, we established a three-dimensional (3D) representative volume element (RVE) of electrodes composed of active material particles, carbon binder domain particles, solvent, and different particle contact types. We continuously simulated the 3D macroscopic and microscopic structural evolutions of the RVE during drying and calendering using the discrete element method (DEM). Based on the evolution of the particle coordination numbers and contact networks during drying, we propose a three-stage-drying scheme, consistent with the More >

Abstract Traditional topology optimization methods often suffer from the “dimension curse” problem, wherein the computation time increases exponentially with the degrees of freedom in the background grid. Overcoming this challenge, we introduce a real-time topology optimization approach leveraging Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks with Gradient Penalty (CGAN-GP). This innovative method allows for nearly instantaneous prediction of optimized structures. Given a specific boundary condition, the network can produce a unique optimized structure in a one-to-one manner. The process begins by establishing a dataset using simulation data generated through the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) method. Subsequently, we More >

Abstract Solar energy is a valuable renewable energy source, and photovoltaic (PV) systems are a practical approach to harnessing this energy. Nevertheless, low energy efficiency is considered a major setback of the system. Moreover, high cell temperature and reflection of solar irradiance from the panel are considered chief culprits in this regard. Employing pulsating heat pipes (PHPs) is an innovative and useful approach to improving solar panel performance. This study presents the results of the power performance of a PV panel attached to a newly designed spiral pulsating heat pipe, while graphene oxide nanofluid with three More >

Abstract The world produces vast quantities of high-dimensional multi-semantic data. However, extracting valuable information from such a large amount of high-dimensional and multi-label data is undoubtedly arduous and challenging. Feature selection aims to mitigate the adverse impacts of high dimensionality in multi-label data by eliminating redundant and irrelevant features. The ant colony optimization algorithm has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in multi-label feature selection, because of its simplicity, efficiency, and similarity to reinforcement learning. Nevertheless, existing methods do not consider crucial correlation information, such as dynamic redundancy and label correlation. To tackle these concerns, the paper proposes a More >

Abstract Due to excellent physical performance and potential application in the nanoscale fluid channel, 2D transition-metal dioxides and dichalcogenides with 1H phase are of great interest. Their mechanical property attracts much attention but the accurate evaluation still faces challenges because of the ultrasoft and ultrathin structure. In this work, we establish an analytical atom-based molecular mechanics model to predict the elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio and shear modulus of the single-layer 2D transition-metal dioxides and dichalcogenides. The proposed method is validated through the calculation of the mechanical property of Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂). The results indicate that the elastic… More >

Abstract The underwater explosion (UNDEX) could cause the fatal damage of naval ships and submarines in the naval battle, and seriously threaten their combat capability [1]. The UNDEX process is very complicated, including the propagation and reflection of the shock wave, formation and collapse of cavitation zone, trainset dynamic structural response and so on [2]. In this paper, we develop the three-dimensional Discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) model for simulating the propagation of incident shock loading in fluid domain. The pressure cutoff model is employed to deal with the cavitation effect due to the reflection of the More >

Abstract Magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) materials are a specific class of advanced smart materials that simultaneously manifest the coupling behavior under electric, magnetic, and mechanical loads. This unique combination of properties allows MEE materials to respond to mechanical, electric, and magnetic stimuli, making them versatile for various applications. This paper investigates the static and time-harmonic field solutions induced by the surface load in a three-dimensional (3D) multilayered transversally isotropic (TI) linear MEE layered solid. Green’s functions corresponding to the applied uniform load (in both horizontal and vertical directions) are derived using the Fourier-Bessel series (FBS) system of vector… More >
