Magnetic Mineral Dissolution in Heqing Core Lacustrine Sediments and Its Paleoenvironment Significance

The magnetic parameters within lacustrine sediments serve as invaluable proxies for deciphering the paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic conditions. However, the dissolution of magnetic minerals can significantly alter detrital magnetic mineral assemblages, thereby complicating their interpretation in paleoenvironmental reconstructions. In an effort to clarify the impact of this dissolution on the grain size of magnetic minerals in lacustrine sediments, we undertook a thorough analysis of the rock magnetic properties on samples from the interval characterized by low ARM (anhysteretic remanent magnetization)/SIRM (saturation isothermal remanent magnetization) values between 140 and 320 ka in the Heqing (HQ) lacustrine drill core, located in Southwest China. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility and FORC diagrams revealed a predominance of single-vortex and pseudo-single domain (PSD) magnetite and maghemite within the sample. When compared to samples from both the glacial and interglacial periods, the high SIRM, elevated magnetic susceptibility, and low ARM/SIRM ratio intervals from 140 to 320 ka suggested a high concentration of magnetic minerals coupled with a relatively low concentration of fine-grained particles in the sediments. The reductive dissolution of the fine-grained magnetic oxides is responsible for the reduction in the fine-grained magnetic particles in this interval. Our findings indicate that pedogenic fine-grained magnetite and maghemite are the first to dissolve, followed by the dissolution of coarser-grained iron oxides into finer particles. This process underscores the complex interplay between magnetic mineral dissolution and grain size distribution in lacustrine sediments, with significant implications for the reliability of paleoenvironmental interpretations derived from magnetic parameters.

A personalized clinical assessment: multi-sensor approach for understanding musculoskeletal health in the frail population

BackgroundSarcopenia is a muscle disorder causing a progressive reduction of muscle mass and strength, but the mechanism of its manifestation is still partially unknown. The three main parameters to assess are: muscle strength, muscle volume or quality and low physical performance. There is not a definitive approach to assess the musculoskeletal condition of frail population and often the available tests to be performed in those clinical bedridden patients is reduced because of physical impairments. In this paper, we propose a novel instrumental multi-domain and non-invasive approach during a well-defined protocol of measurements for overcoming these limitations. A group of 28 bedridden elder people, subjected to surgery after hip fracture, was asked to perform voluntary isometric contractions at the 80% of their maximum voluntary contraction with the non-injured leg. The sensor employed before and/or during the exercise were: ultrasound to determine the muscle architecture (vastus lateralis); force acquisition with a load cell placed on the chair, giving an indication of the muscle strength; surface electromyography (EMG) for monitoring muscular electrical activity; time-domain (TD) near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for evaluating muscle oxidative metabolism.ResultsA personalized “report card” for each subject was created. It includes: the force diagram (both instantaneous and cumulative, expected and measured); the EMG–force diagram for a comparison between EMG derived median frequency and measured force; two graphs related to the hemodynamic parameters for muscle oxidative metabolism evaluation, i.e., oxy-, deoxy-, total-hemoglobin and tissue oxygen saturation for the whole exercise period. A table with the absolute values of the previous hemodynamic parameters during the rest and the ultrasound related parameters are also included.ConclusionsIn this work, we present the union of protocols, multi-domain sensors and parameters for the evaluation of the musculoskeletal condition. The novelties are the use of sensors of different nature, i.e., force, electrical and optical, together with a new way to visualize and combine the results, by means of a concise, exhaustive and personalized medical report card for each patient. This assessment, totally non-invasive, is focused on a bedridden population, but can be extended to the monitoring of rehabilitation progresses or of the training of athletes.

Research on the Control Method of a 2DOF Parallel Platform Based on Electromagnetic Drive

In this paper, a spatial two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) parallel platform based on electromagnetic redundant drive and its control method are investigated. The platform is redundantly driven by three electromagnetic-spring conforming branched chains, and the design provides better flexibility and responsiveness than conventional parallel structures. The introduction of the electromagnetic drive alleviates the stresses within the conventional rigid redundant drive structure and reduces the detrimental effects associated with rigid redundancy. In this paper, the structure and equivalent SPU model of the platform are first introduced, with S referring to the kinematic sub, P to the spherical sub, and U to the universal joint. The degrees of freedom of the platform are analyzed, and the inverse kinematic model and velocity Jacobi matrix are derived, so as to derive the relationship between the pitch, roll angles, and length of the gimbal chain, and the relational equation between the angle and the current is further established to realize the electromagnetic control of the parallel redundant platform. The control part is realized as follows. Firstly, the angle information of the platform is obtained from the gyroscope to the microcontroller, the filtered angle is derived through the Untraceable Kalman Filter (UKF), and the angle value can be fused with data by both the mathematical model and PID algorithm to introduce the current value required to achieve the balance and realize the balance. In the simulation part, this paper uses Simulink and Simscape in MATLAB for joint simulation, and by giving the simulated trajectory and the desired trajectory of the joints, the driving force diagrams of the three branched chains based on the Least-Second Paradigm method are derived, and the trajectory error and driving force error are given to validate the reliability of the method of this paper.

The effects of setup parameters on the measured kinetic output of cervical disc prostheses

Mechanical testing machines are used to evaluate kinematics, kinetics, wear, and efficacy of spinal implants. The simulation of "physiological" spinal loading conditions necessitates the simultaneous use of multiple actuators. The challenge in achieving a desired loading profile lies in achieving close synchronization of these actuators. Errors in load application can be attributed to both the control system and the intrinsic sample response. Moreover, the presence of friction in the setup can have an impact on the measured outcome. The optimization of setup parameters can substantially improve the ability to simulate spinal loading conditions and obtain reliable data on implant performance. In this study, a reproducible kinematic test protocol was developed to evaluate the sensitivity of the kinetic response (i.e., measured loads, moments, and stiffnesses) of a cervical disc prosthesis to several testing parameters. In this context, five ceramic ball and socket sample implants were mounted in a 6 DOF material testing machine and tested with a constant axial compressive force of 100 N in two motion modes: 1) flexion-extension (±7.5°) and 2) lateral bending (±6°). Parameters including rotation rate, slider friction, friction between the samples' articulating surfaces, and moment arm were considered to determine their effects on measured kinetic parameters. The sensitivity analysis indicated that all setup parameters except friction between the samples' articulating surfaces had a substantial effect on the results. The findings were then compared to predictions from a free body diagram to determine the optimal setup parameters. Consequently, the setup with the lowest rotation rate and employing passive sliders yielded results that were consistent with the free body diagram. This study demonstrated the significance of a comprehensive setup evaluation for reliable and reproducible testing of spinal implants, also for comparison between labs.

Analogy use in textbook introductions to isostasy: Presentations, perceptions and physics

In teaching, analogies can be used to support the introduction of a new concept or idea with reference to a more familiar one. This relies on the learner’s correct understanding of the (supposedly) familiar situation, their identification of the relevant similarities (structural relations) between the two situations, and of the limits of the similarities. Without these, analogies may reinforce or introduce misconceptions. Through content analysis of 14 introductory textbooks, semi-structured interviews with four students, and analysis of two analogies, we explore how analogies are used as part of introductions to isostasy in introductory geoscience textbooks. Analogies were ubiquitous, but prior knowledge of the source domain was typically assumed and the majority were not elaborated (explained to the learner). Interviews indicate that, in the absence of sufficient elaboration, students turn to superficial similarities for clues on how to apply the analogies. Many textbooks used analogies amenable to this approach, indicating an alignment between textbook strategy and student reactions. However, giving precedence to superficial similarities over explicit elaboration of structural relations may favor a novice approach to learning. Analyzing an analogy using free-body diagrams demonstrates how an apparently relevant analogy can introduce misconceptions, both in terms of the underlying physics (introducing a fictitious force) and the Earth application (unnatural behavior of the lithosphere) when not sufficiently, or correctly, elaborated. We conclude that the introductory textbooks place much of the responsibility for appropriate use of their analogies, and for avoiding misconceptions, on the learners and their teachers.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Meshing State Transition Analysis of Spalling Defect Gears with Multi-Lubrication Conditions

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamic characteristics and the meshing state transition characteristics of spalling defect gears under various lubrication conditions. The time-varying geometric parameters, motion parameters and load distribution of the gears in the state of positive meshing and reverse impact are analyzed. The time-varying meshing stiffness considering the time-varying friction coefficient under elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL), mixed lubrication and boundary lubrication are calculated, and the spalling defect is introduced in the stiffness calculation process. The equivalent lubrication model of the gear is established, the switching condition of the lubrication state is derived, and the distribution of the lubrication state in the torque-speed plane is discussed. The multimeshing state dynamic model of the spalling defect gear is established, and the evolution characteristics of the coexistence response and the transition of the meshing state under different lubrication conditions are simulated by using the attraction domain, phase trajectory, meshing force and bifurcation diagram. The results show that the phase trajectory of the gear with the spalling defect is deformed compared with that of the healthy gear. The change of lubrication state has little effect on the phase trajectory and attraction domain of the gear with spalling defect, but has a great influence on the meshing force. At the spalling boundary, the meshing force is changed abruptly, and the worse the lubrication state, the more obvious the mutation. Due to the influence of spalling on tooth stiffness, it will also affect the meshing force in the nonspalling area.

Discovery of delayed gas production after implantation of a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device and a preliminary exploration of the mechanisms of its occurrence.

To characterize the gas production phenomenon in the animal model of left ventricular assist device (LVAD), and study its mechanism. An in vitro bubble precipitation experiment was conducted, and the blood samples of Parma spp. animals were divided into ordinary group and oxygen-enriched group according to whether they were oxygenated or not at the time of blood collection, and a static control group was set up respectively. Blood gases were drawn and analyzed before and after the experiment. Activate the pump, and the number of air bubbles in the loop was measured by ultrasound at different rotational speeds; CFD was applied to simulate the flow field in the blood pump, and pressure, fluid velocity vector and shear force diagrams were plotted, and a thrombus model was constructed and the flow field was simulated and plotted as a cloud diagram. There was a statistical difference in the number of bubbles in the inflow and outflow tubes of the blood pump (P values of 0.04 and 0.023, respectively), and the number of bubbles in the outflow tubes of both groups was significantly higher than the number of bubbles in the inflow tubes. The number of bubbles in the tubes of both the oxygen-enriched and normal groups was significantly higher than that in the inflow group. In both the normal and oxygen-enriched groups, more gas was produced at higher speeds than at lower speeds. Blood gas analysis showed that the reduced gas composition in the blood was mainly oxygen. Flow field simulation results: the high rotation speed group had lower central pressure and greater scalar shear. The thrombus simulation group was more prone to turbulence, sudden pressure changes, and greater shear than the normal group. Blood gas production is associated with higher partial pressures of blood oxygen, higher rotation speed, and intrapump thrombosis, and the mechanism of pump gas production is degassing of dissolved gases rather than cavitation of water, and the gas released is most likely to have oxygen. The degassing phenomenon is an warning factor for pump thrombosis.

Analisis Korelasi Kualitas Free-Body Diagram dan Penguasaan Konsep Siswa Pada Materi Dinamika

The goal of learning physics is not to memorize the formulas or equations, but to increase conceptual understanding. For increase conceptual understanding about motion, force analysis skill is the most fundamental skills needed by students. Free-body diagram will help students to analyze force. So this study aims to determine and analyze the correlation between quality of free-body diagrams and mastery of dynamics concepts. The research was conducted at SMAN 2 Sungai Penuh. The population is students of XI MIA. Using whole population sampling, 50 students.

Both data was normally distributed and linearly related with a positive correlation shown by a scatterplot. The Pearson correlation test conducted to show the relationship between variables. There was high correlation between the quality of free-body diagrams and conceptual understanding as indicated by the Pearson correlation coefficient . The correlation was highly positive, which means that students who draw high quality free-body diagram tend to have high conceptual understanding.

CИЛОВОЙ АНАЛИЗ ПЛОСКИХ РЫЧАЖНЫХ МЕХАНИЗМОВ ВЕКТОРНЫМ МЕТОДОМ

An analytical method is presented for force analysis of plain lever mechanisms with one degree of freedom, based on the vector method. Using the example of a two-drive structural group, a method is outlined for finding reaction vectors in all its kinematic pairs, while maintaining the clarity and consistency of the solution inherent in the graphic-analytical method of diagrams of component forces. An original analytical description is given for finding the vectors of tangential and normal components of reactions in kinematic pairs. Application of the proposed method of force analysis makes it possisble to find reaction vectors in kinematic pairs without compiling and solving complex systems of equilibrium equations or graphical construction. Adaptation of the proposed force analysis in modern mathematical packages allows for the study of plain lever mechanisms with one degree of freedom in a short time and with high accuracy.

The driven unicycle

The free-body diagram of a unicycle pedalled across level ground is analysed, showing that riders must tilt their bodies into the direction of the acceleration. A comparison is made with an unpowered round object rolling without slipping up or down an inclined plane. A Newtonian analysis predicts an acceleration of the unicycle as a function of the tilt angle that is in good agreement with measurements of an actual unicycle using a smartphone.

Construction of complex high order subharmonic vibrations in a nonlinear rotor system I: Eigenvalue dynamics and prediction

In real turbomachinery testing, we always confront strange high order vibrations which scatter a few points or draw some local lines in the experimental bifurcation diagrams. Such vibrations maybe ignored due to the lack of experiences and knowledge while they can be important in design and operation due to the nonsmooth jumping and instability. This paper proposes a new method for predicting the complex high order subharmonic vibrations for a nonlinear rotor system with light rub. The nonlinearity is induced by the contact of the bristles and the rotor. A continuous nonlinear rotor system is established based on the geometric and bending force diagrams. We discretize the complex orbits and built implicit mappings between the adjacent nodes. A directional eigenfunctional matrix is constructed which maps each nodes and passes the perturbation along the orbits for semi-analytical prediction of the high order subharmonic vibrations. Stability criterion is defined. Numerical bifurcation diagrams and harmonic contours are presented for quick glance of the global subahrmonic vibrations. Two local subharmonic vibrations of odd orders are succesfuly predicted. Local high order subharmonic vibrations of “full tree” and “half tree” are predicted and achieved accurately. An experimental platform is established to compare the semi-analytical predictions with experimental results. The research delivers a new perspective for predicting and computing the high order subharmonic vibrations in nonlinear rotor system.

A computational implementation of Vector-based 3D Graphic Statics (VGS) for interactive and real-time structural design

This article presents a computational implementation for the Vector-based Graphic Statics (VGS) framework making it an effective CAD tool for the design of spatial structures in static equilibrium (VGS-tool). The paper introduces several key features that convert a purely theoretical graph and geometry based framework into a fully automated computational procedure, including the following new contributions: a general algorithm for constructing 3-dimensional interdependent force and force diagrams; the implementation of a procedure that allows the interdependent transformation of both diagrams; an approach to apply specific constraints to the computationally generated diagrams; the integration of the algorithms as a plug-in for a CAD environment (Grasshopper3D of Rhino3D). The main features of the proposed framework are highlighted with a design case study developed using the newly introduced CAD plug-in (namely the VGS-tool). This plugin uses synthetic-oriented and intuitive graphical representation to allow the user to design spatial structures in equilibrium as three-dimensional trusses. The goal is to facilitate collaboration between structural engineers and architects during the conceptual phase of the design process.

Bifurcation Analysis and Sticking Phenomenon for Unmanned Rotor-Nacelle Systems with the Presence of Multi-Segmented Structural Nonlinearity

Whirl flutter is a phenomenon caused by an aeroelastic instability, causing oscillations to propagate in manned or unmanned rotor-nacelle type aircraft. Under the conditions where multi-segmented freeplay are present, complex behaviors can dominate these oscillations and can lead to disastrous consequences. This study investigates a rotor-nacelle system with multi-segmented stiffnesses with a freeplay gap to encompass the real-world influences of aircraft. The mathematical aerodynamics model considers a quasi-steady application of strip theory along each blade to outline the external forces being applied. A free-body diagram is then used to incorporate the structural stiffness and damping terms with multi-segmented freeplay considered in the structural stiffness matrix. Multiple structural responses of the defined system are investigated and characterized to determine the influence of varying symmetric and asymmetric multi-segmented stiffnesses with varying gap parameters, including a route to impact investigation. The findings are characterized using phase portraits, Poincaré maps, time histories, and basins of attraction. It is found that under these conditions, the structural influences can lead to aperiodic oscillations with the existence of grazing bifurcations. Furthermore, these results unveil that under certain conditions and high freestream velocities, the sticking phenomenon becomes apparent which is strongly dependent on the strength of the multi-segmented representation, its gap sizes, and its symmetry. Lastly, a route to impact study shows the strong coupled influence between pitch and yaw when asymmetric conditions are applied and the possible presence of grazing-sliding bifurcations. The numerical simulations performed in this study can form a basis for drone designers to create reliable rotor-nacelle systems resistant to whirl flutter caused by freeplay effects.

COMPLEX RESISTANCE OF A COMPRESSED-BENT ROD TAKINGINTO ACCOUNT ELASTIC COMPLIANCE OF ITS SUPPORT

This work deals with the urgent problem in the mechanics of a deformable solid: studying factors of the stress-strain state of a single-span statically indeterminate beam with complex boundary conditions that is under conditions of complex resistance (axial compression with plane transverse bending). To solve the problem, both analytical methods (the method of forces in the form of “five” support moments, the method of initial parameters) and the numerical finite difference method with a “linear” grid with density n=8 were used. The necessary resolving equations and matrices are given to take into account changes in the rigidity parameter of the right hinged support and variations in concentrated and uniformly distributed loads, both along the axis of the beam and across it. In the final form, diagrams of deflections, bending moments and shear forces were constructed for specific values of bending rigidity and the degree of elastic compliance of the right hinge-yielding support. Reliability of the theoretical principles and applied results obtained by the authors is confirmed on the basis of the given alternative calculation methods.

ПОСТРОЕНИЕ УПРУГОЙ ЛИНИИ БАЛКИ И ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЕ ВЕЛИЧИНЫ И НАПРАВЛЕНИЯ ГЛАВНЫХ НАПРЯЖЕНИЙ В СЕЧЕНИИ БАЛКИ

The paper uses the data from diagrams of I-beam transverse forces and bending moments to calculate the values and directions of primary stresses at three points of the beam cross-section – on the neutral axis, above and below it. To calculate the values of primary stresses, the graphic analytical method with the construction of Mohr's circles is used. Further, the article presents an algorithm for constructing a beam deflection line and calculating cross-section deflections. To determine deflections, the universal beam deflection line equation is used. After determining the largest deflection value, conclusion is made that the hardness condition of a steel I-beam is met.

Development and Validation of the Force Diagrams Representation Test

Experts and students frequently use force diagrams as a physics representation to understand the force concept. This study aims to develop and validate a force diagram representation test that physics teachers in senior high schools can use. Research and development is implemented in this study by following some steps: analyze, define, design, implement, and evaluate. The 225 senior high school students in Pontianak are involved in this study, from the pilot study to the testing on a large scale. Data analysis includes measuring content validity, reliability index, and parameters of the test using the Rasch model. The test consists of 25 items in a multiple-choice format that cover three contexts: horizontal plane, inclined plane, and hanging object, and covers three situations, including the object being at rest, moving with constant velocity, and moving with constant acceleration. The results show that the content validity test obtained a score of 0.95 for the very good category, and the readability index results obtained a score of 7.42, which means it is easily understood by high school students. Rasch analysis shows that a unidimensional percentage is 30.5%, which means the test is able to measure one ability, and item reliability is 0.98. All items fit the Rasch model and had varying item difficulties. This study indicates that the force diagram representation test (FDRT) can be used by teachers as one of the instruments to measure students’ understanding of force.

Critical Thinking Skills in Rotational Dynamics: Learning Physics With and Without Free-body Diagrams

This quasi-experimental study investigates the impact of using free-body diagrams on the critical thinking skills of students studying rotational dynamics at MAN 1 Sungai Penuh. The study involved 140 eleventh-grade students, divided into an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 70 students. The experimental group received instruction using free-body diagrams, while the control group followed traditional teaching methods. Critical thinking skills were assessed using a test comprising five essay questions, each representing different aspects of critical thinking: likelihood and uncertainty analysis, problem solving and decision making, reasoning, hypothesis testing, and argument analysis. Descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests were employed to analyze the data. The results revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in all aspects of critical thinking skills, with statistically significant differences and strong effect sizes. Specifically, the experimental group showed notable improvements in argument analysis, reasoning, and hypothesis testing. The findings suggest that the use of free-body diagrams significantly enhances students' critical thinking skills in the context of rotational dynamics. This study underscores the importance of incorporating visual learning aids in physics education to foster deeper understanding and improve analytical skills. The results have important implications for teaching practices, advocating for the integration of free-body diagrams to develop students' higher-order thinking skills effectively

Обоснование перспективной схемы кривошипного гидромотора для гидропривода опорно-поворотного устройства манипулятора лесовозного автопоезда

The task of increasing the efficiency of hydraulic manipulators with traditional column turning mechanisms installed on logging road trains can be solved by installing column turning mechanisms with crank hydraulic motors from hydraulic cylinders. Variants of the arrangement of hydraulic cylinders in a crank hydraulic motor were studied graph analytically by determining tangential and radial forces acting on the rotary column of the hydraulic manipulator. At first, calculations were performed based on static methods to evaluate the effect of forces on the rods of hydraulic cylinders in the working positions of the column rotation mechanism. After that, using the COMPASS computer-aided design system, circular diagrams of tangential and radial forces of the considered options for the arrangement of hydraulic cylinders in a crank hydraulic motor were constructed. Further, in the Microsoft Excel program, graphs of changes in tangential forces acting on the rotary column of the hydraulic manipulator were plotted. Schemes with five and six hydraulic cylinders have the best option of influencing the bearings in which the column is rotated. The ranges of radial forces for them ranged, respectively, from 3.32 to 22.07 kN and from 11.175 to 11.297 kN, and tangential forces – from 257.893 to 285.274 kN, and from 300.471 to 354.059 kN, which can be used in the design of new drive designs for turning columns of hydraulic manipulators. For the practical implementation of the proposed design of the crank hydraulic motor, it is planned to make a rational choice of the location of the hydraulic cylinders of the crank hydraulic motor on the frame of the logging road train on the basis of simulation modeling.
