Authors: Wu Jinxing , Li Tielin , Yan Rong , Li Hong 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Addressing the challenge of in-situ calibration for onboard vibration sensors in aircraft installations, we propose an online calibration method based on actuators. Leveraging the inverse piezoelectric effect, we employ piezoelectric actuators mounted on the vibration sensors to calibrate vibration signals. Experimental results demonstrate that the influence of the actuator on the energy transfer of the measured sensor’s vibration signal during the calibration process can be negligible, meeting the calibration accuracy requirements of onboard vibration sensors. Through validation experiments, we determine the excitation coefficients of the actuators at different frequencies, subsequently obtaining the sensitivity of the vibration sensors equipped with actuators. The results reveal that within the frequency range, the relative error of sensitivity remains within ±3%, satisfying the relevant calibration requirements. Therefore, the actuator-based online calibration technique offers an efficient means of calibrating onboard vibration sensors, carrying significant practical value.

Abstract
In order to explore the actual performance of a micro-pump turbine under pump conditions, this paper builds a micro-pumped storage test platform based on micro-mixed-flow pump turbine, and then conducts energy characteristics tests in pump conditions and hump region on this basis. The final determination of the hump area range of 10.6 m3/h∼18.2 m3/h; When the flow rate is 52 m3/h, the pump turbine efficiency reaches the maximum 81.91%, and the head is 16.683 m. In the test, it is found that when the unit runs to the hump area, the noise and vibration of the flow parts are generated, and the output power and efficiency curves show nonlinear growth of abnormal speed. In this paper, by setting up a test bench and conducting real machine tests, the pump operation of the micro-pump turbine is explored, and the hump phenomenon found in the test is further tested, which provides data support and improvement ideas for the next application and optimization design of the micro-pumped storage power station.

Abstract
In the early stage of natural gas extraction, the fracturing and blowout process is often used to obtain stable production. However, during the fracturing process, natural gas combustion is frequently directly released, which causes significant pollution to the environment and a waste of resources. In order to measure the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the process of gas well blowout, a multi-channel velocity measurement model is established. The multi-channel sensor structure is designed based on an analysis of the gas well blowout process and fluid configuration simulations. The influence of pipe diameter on the flow characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase flow was analyzed by FLUENT software. The simulation results show that the distribution of flow velocity in a gas-liquid two-phase flow tube is not uniform, the flow velocity of different flow layers is different, and the stratification phenomenon is more obvious with the increase of pipe diameter, highlighting the necessity of multi-channel measurements. Therefore, we developed a gas-liquid two-phase flow velocity measuring device. The experimental results demonstrate that accurately describing velocity in the tube can be achieved by measuring velocities in different channels using the gas-liquid two-phase flow velocity measurement device.
Simulating Wind-Blown Nebulae from Single and Binary Massive Stars
Authors: Mackey Jonathan 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Winds from massive stars expand supersonically into their surroundings, creating dynamic and fascinating nebulae that can give us insight into physical processes in interstellar plasma, and into the evolutionary history of the stars. Around single stars, parsec-scale bubbles such as bow shocks and ring nebulae are formed, whereas in colliding-wind binary (CWB) systems the high wind density produces intense time- and space-dependent emission across the electromagnetic spectrum from radio to gamma-rays. This contribution summarizes some recent results from 3D MHD modelling of bow shocks around runaway stars such as ζ Oph, and of the wind-collision zone of the CWB systems WR140 and WR21a. A resolution study of 3D simulations of bow shocks shows that X-ray emission from the shocked wind is time-variable and that converged results can be obtained once the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at the contact discontinuity is resolved. Simulations of the CWB system WR140 show that inverse-Compton cooling of the shocked plasma can trigger runaway cooling when the orbit is near periastron, producing strong compression and dynamical instabilities. This sharply reduces the hard-X-ray emission around periastron, in agreement with observations. Scaling tests of the simulation software pion are also presented for a model of the CWB system WR21a run on up to 8192 cores using the HPC system Karolina.

Abstract
Understanding the Physics of thermonuclear explosions of a White Dwarf star (WD), so called Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia), provide a playground for modern physics, computational methods, and are a key to modern cosmology. We identify new and investigate a variety of observational signatures of underlying physical processes related to the thermonuclear runaway, the flame propagation and the environment. Being intrinsically multi-dimensional phenomena, probing the physics requires multi-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamics and MHD simulations. For this task, we developed and employed methods for photon transport for the X-, gamma- and of low energy and of positrons under non-LTE conditions. We identify signatures in the light curves and spectra, in particular, line profiles and polarization spectra. Consistent treatment of high energy processes is critical. Therefore, our framework and results can be used directly a variety of scenarios for SNe Ia including merging WDs and explosions of sub-Chandrasekhar mass WDs. Current simulations have limitations but, nevertheless, when combined with recent JWST and VLT observations solutions emerge to many of decade old problems on the ignition process, flame physics and thermonuclear explosion.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The human toe, characterized by its rigid-flexible structure comprising hard bones and flexible joints, facilitates adaptive and stable movement across varied terrains. In this paper, we utilized a motion capture system to study the adaptive adjustments of toe joints when encountering obstacles. Inspired by the mechanics of toe joints, we proposed a novel design method for a rigid-flexible coupled wheel. The wheel comprises multiple elements: a rigid skeleton, supporting toes, connecting shafts, torsion springs, soft tendons, and damping pads. The torsion springs connect the rigid frame to the supporting toes, enabling them to adapt to uneven terrains and pipes with different diameters. The design was validated through kinematic and dynamic modeling, rigid-flexible coupled dynamics simulation, and stress analysis. Different stiffness coefficients of torsion springs were compared for optimal wheel design. Then, the wheel was applied to a sewer robot, and its performance was evaluated and compared with a pneumatic rubber tire in various experiments, including movement on flat surfaces, overcoming small obstacles, adaptability tests in different terrains, and active driving force tests in dry and wet pipelines. The results prove that the designed wheel showed better stability and anti-slip properties than conventional tires, making it suitable for diverse applications such as pipeline robots, desert vehicles, and lunar rovers.

The influence of crystalline technology as concrete admixture on compressive strength and permeability
Authors: Dario Aurelius , Suwondo Riza 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In regions prone to frequent rainfall or coastal exposure, concrete gradually becomes porous due to environmental influences. This study systematically examines the impact of different concrete formulations on compressive strength and permeability. It evaluates standard concrete, concrete with 1% and 2% crystalline admixtures, and concrete utilizing Portland cement type V. Compressive strength tests reveal that concrete with 1% and 2% crystalline admixtures, alongside Portland cement type V concrete, exhibit superior quality compared to standard concrete. Permeability assessments unveil intriguing trends: Portland cement type V concrete displays heightened permeability relative to standard concrete, while 1% and 2% crystalline admixture concretes exhibit significantly reduced permeability, surpassing both standard concrete and Portland cement type V concrete. The heightened concrete density associated with crystalline admixtures can be attributed to their dual influence on augmenting compressive strength and decreasing permeability. By reinforcing these mechanisms, crystalline admixtures effectively enhance concrete durability. This research contributes to the understanding of advanced construction materials and offers insights into sustainable infrastructure development possibilities. Subsequent sections delve into experimental intricacies, result explications, and wider implications of these findings, shaping the trajectory of future construction practices.
The effect of crystalline technology on concrete as coating to improve its durability
Authors: Dwiriyadhi Muhammad Ghafiqi , Suwondo Riza 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This research delves into the effects of incorporating Crystalline Additives (CAs) in concrete, specifically exploring alterations in compressive strength, water penetration resistance, and chemical durability when subjected to corrosive solutions, including H2SO4 and HCl. The investigation encompasses four concrete compositions: Standard Concrete, Concrete with Single Layer Crystalline Coating, Concrete with Double Layer Crystalline Coating, and Concrete featuring Type V Cement. Results indicate that the application of Crystalline coating contributes to notable enhancements in the average compressive strength, albeit falling short of the peak strength achieved with Type V cement. Notably, exposure to a 5% H2SO4 solution triggers more pronounced deterioration compared to exposure to 5% HCl, leading to discernible reductions in both weight and compressive strength. Despite Crystalline coating’s beneficial impact on compressive strength, it remains outperformed by the application of Type V Cement, as evidenced by superior average compressive strength values. Conversely, the efficacy of Crystalline coating in countering water penetration remains inconclusive, as evidenced by the water penetration test outcomes. This ambiguity underscores the necessity for further research to ascertain the true extent of Crystalline coating’s influence on water resistance.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Coastal structures, such as breakwater, play a critical role in protecting shorelines from the erosive forces of waves and currents. Understanding the wave run-up phenomenon on these structures is essential for designing effective coastal defense systems. This research aims to investigate the wave run-up characteristics on an armour layer breakwater using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method (Meshless particle method based on the Lagrangian formulation), a numerical method that captures complex fluid-structure interactions. The SPH method’s inherent ability to handle free-surface flows and dynamic interactions makes it particularly suited for simulating wave run-up. The research employs numerical testing and modelling of a non-overtopping breakwater using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method simulated with the DualSPHysics program. The wave characteristic data used in this research are the waves on the south coast of Java. The results of this research indicate that the correlation between wave run-up characteristics (Ru/H) and the Iribarren number, both using the numerical SPH method and theory, tends to exhibit a similar pattern. Remarkably, the results from both approaches exhibit a striking similarity, revealing that as the Iribarren number increases, the incremental growth of Ru/H diminishes, eventually stabilizing at a critical threshold. The Coefficient of Determination (R2) between wave run-up characteristics (Ru/H) obtained from numerical simulations using the SPH method and Günbak’s theory is 0.8824.

Authors: Ivander  
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The beverage industry is a company that is focused on producing mineral water in Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles. PET bottles serve as the primary packaging choice in the beverage industry, making the use of preforms as a material for bottles unavoidable. On the other hand, the public is more aware of using sustainable materials. Adapting market awareness, the company shifted from virgin material to recycled material. Due to the significant initial investment, the company has decided on a single supplier strategy for recycled PET preform suppliers. This policy forces the company to manage the supplier to meet the company’s delivery accomplishment target. Currently, in the management of beverage found in the industry, the supplier only reaches 50% of delivery accomplishments, whereas the company target is 90%. The beverage industry strived for a revolution, so the company’s target was achieved. The vendor managed inventory method is implemented in this study to create a new revolution for PET preform suppliers, a new replenishment system. After the implementation of Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), there has been an improvement, reaching 95% in delivery accomplishment. The adoption of vendor managed inventory ensures the attainment of the company’s objectives.
