Behavior Identification of Silicone‐Ethanol Soft Actuator Based on Statistical Analysis

Advanced Theory and Simulations, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 30, 2025

Abstract Silicone‐ethanol actuator is a new type of artificial muscle that expands and contracts based on the switching ethanol phase between liquid gas states within elastomeric matrix. However, there lack accurate ranking parameters affect its performance. This research uses cutting‐edge statistical qualitative methods to rank behavioral characteristics this actuator. In research, effect power intensity performance structural changes silicone‐ethanol investigated, for first time. It found use more intense increased response speed actuator, but also intensifies damage. Also, results show energy temperature are most crucial variables in predicting dynamic behavior while content applied important functional long term. hoped scientific approach will be leveraged distinguish real from dummy indices other newfound smart materials, where no complete knowledge their governing physical chemical equations.

Behaviour of Knitted Materials in a Vibrating Environment

Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 18(3), С. 479 - 479

Опубликована: Янв. 21, 2025

The energy generated by the impact of vibrations from industrial tools or ongoing activities can be transmitted to humans and cause various injuries. Knitted materials considered as parts anti-vibration equipment they have proven their ability absorb shocks. In this study, six spacer knitted fabrics consisting two outer layers cotton yarns (Nm 1/50 Nm 1/40) cashmere 2/56) connected PES monofilaments with a diameter 0.08 mm were tested. To date, use natural in used environments subject vibration has been less studied. first part experiments deals measurement frequencies materials, which determined using free method. results show that direction experiment, yarn count, stitch density, thickness material influence value frequencies. These values are relevant order avoid undesirable resonances occur when excitation frequency an external system overlaps material. second part, transmissibility was simulated one degree freedom. composed had highest damping capacity specific coefficient lowest for transmission, make them recommendable protective materials.

The Qinling Mountains in central China are rich polymetallic mineralizations (e.g., Pb-Zn-Au deposits), and historic mining has resulted large amounts of heavy metals being released into the environment. Thus, it is important to evaluate ecological risk triggered by at this location. In work, a gold mine was investigated as case study better understand health risks present Mountains. To address issue, total 84 soil samples 23 surface water were collected from district. Major trace elements soils, coupled with pH SO4−2 contents samples, analyzed. multivariate statistical analysis shows that human activities found have significant impact on levels As, Hg, Cd), pH, within area, coefficient variation for all indicators falls medium high range (0.20–2.73). maximum concentration Cd can reach 3005 mg·kg−1. spatial distribution its isotope signatures indicate sedimentation ponds slag piles primary sources pollution metal concentrations decreasing gradually they disperse surrounding cultivated areas. confirms isotopes be directly used track over area (0.8 km2), conclusions drawn could valuable future restoration management efforts. Simultaneously, approach offer novel framework contamination soils other sites.

Probabilistic and deep learning approaches for conductivity-driven nanocomposite classification

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(1)

Опубликована: Март 7, 2025

To foster greater trust and adoption of machine learning models, particularly neural networks, it is essential to develop approaches that quantify report epistemic uncertainties alongside random uncertainties, which often affect the accuracy Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Addressing these challenges, this study proposes a hybrid approach integrating Bayesian techniques deep improve classification nanocomposites with focus on evaluating their conductivity properties. The proposed framework begins Network (BN) model, provides probabilistic insights into conductive behavior by analyzing distribution interaction constituent nanoparticles. This foundation complemented (RNN) based Transformer architecture, enhances capturing sequential dependencies complex data patterns. model combines reasoning capabilities BNs strengths RNNs, yielding more robust adaptable methodology. While primarily focuses methodological advancements, experimental results demonstrate significantly outperforms individual in terms key evaluation metrics. integrated thus represents promising step toward improving predictive nanocomposite conductivity, offering balance between interpretability data-driven accuracy.

Optimal LID Designs Based on SWMM Simulations Regarding the Sustainable Efficacy of Stormwater Management in Port Areas

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(6), С. 2544 - 2544

Опубликована: Март 13, 2025

Urbanization leads to increased stormwater runoff, placing enormous pressure on the drainage system, including that of port cities in Hunan Province. This increases risk urban flooding and threatens sustainability ecosystem. In this study, we employed Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) assess surface runoff pollutant accumulation (TSS, COD, TN, TP) under varying storm conditions evaluate efficacy low-impact development (LID) measures mitigating these impacts. The results included a peak ratio 0.45, indicating complex concentration dynamics good agreement with observed rainfall patterns. installation permeable paving, rainwater infiltration ditches, storage tanks reduced flows by 33.3%, 30%, 50%, respectively, also reducing total phosphorus (TP) load 29.17%. addition, it was found collected cisterns could be used not only for resource recycling but replenish groundwater resources. demonstrates significantly reduce loads effectively promote sustainable use cost–benefit analyses show long-term benefits LID systems are superior those traditional management systems. Therefore, can improve flood prevention mitigation capabilities green transformation cities.
