Desensitization caused by pre-shocking in heterogeneous explosives is discussed. The aim of this study was to find a simple numerical model that could reproduce the important features of previously reported shock desensitization experiments. After reviewing the previous experimental results and modelling efforts, an extension of the Lee-Tarver reactive flow model is proposed. The proposed desensitization model is based upon the experimentally determined desensitization criteria for explosives. The additional parameters required for this extension can be calibrated by experiment for a typical explosive. The new model has been implemented in the hydrodynamic code LS-DYNA as a user defined equation of state, and is now available to simulate various kinds of situations involving explosives up to the limits and capabilities of LS-DYNA. Desensitization by pre-shocking in double shock experiments, reflected shock and detonation quenching experiments have been studied using the new model, and the results were found to be in qualitative agreement with the experimental results reported in the literature.
Focused on the zonal and meridional response of sea level change to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, this paper retrieves the overall average, positive anomaly and negative anomaly sea surface height (SSH) series of equatorial Pacific area (EPA) from satellite altimetry data from 1993 to 2013. The barycenter method is then applied to each of the three series to get the zonal and meridional barycenter coordinates. The barycenter coordinates are then compared with the Multivariate ENSO index (MEI) to reveal the zonal and meridional response of sea level change to ENSO. The meridional and zonal spatio-temporal evolutionary processes of sea level change in EPA during different ENSO events are reconstructed by the Principle Tensor Analysis of Rank 3 Method (PTA3). Comparative analysis shows that the meridional change of positive anomalies barycenter, rather than the mean series of sea level height anomaly in EPA, can well characterize the intensity and evolutionary process of ENSO events. Meanwhile, the zonal migration of barycenter may reflect the lag adjustment of the sea level to the ENSO signal. The analysis on the meridional and zonal evolution of the sea level change in different ENSO periods shows that the response of sea level change to the ENSO events can be mainly characterized by the position differences between positive and negative sea level anomaly barycenter, SSH gradient in the meridional direction and the inconsistency in the overall spatial structure and temporal evolution characteristics in the zonal direction.
Magnetic-geared permanent magnet (MGPM) electrical machine is a new type of machine by incorporating magnetic gear into PM electrical machine, and it may be in operation with low-speed, high-torque and direct-driven. In this paper, three types of MGPM machines are present, and a quantitative comparison among them is performed by finite element analysis (FEA). The magnetic field distribution, stable torque and back EMF are obtained at no-load. The results show that three types of MGPM machine are suitable for different application fields respectively according to their own advantages, such as high torque and back EMF, which form an important foundation for MGPM electrical machine research.
