Debonding quantification in adhesive bonded joints by the inverse finite element method

Published: March 2023

Abstract
In the past two decades, the aerospace industry has massively shifted from aluminum-made components to composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP), striving for more fuel efficient and lighter aircrafts. Consequently, traditional joints have been replaced by adhesive bonded interfaces, which are also the most common choice to repair damaged components. Although adhesive bonding is the most efficient choice for permanent connections, it is not free of disadvantages: one of the most common failure modes, the debonding of the two laps, is very problematic to detect and predict in practice. Therefore, frequent inspections must be performed to ensure structural safety, increasing maintenance costs, and lessening the availability of the platforms. The development of innovative sensing technologies has allowed for a close monitoring of structural interfaces, and several structural health monitoring techniques have been proposed to monitor adhesive bonded connections. Sensitivity and correlation between measurements and debonding entity has been demonstrated in the literature: nevertheless, hardly any technique has been proposed and quantitively evaluated to estimate the debonding entity independently of the applied loads, such as misalignment-induced torsion, which is a major confounding influence in the traditional backface strain gauge technique. This paper proposes the inverse finite element method (iFEM) as a load and material independent approach to infer the debonding entity from strain measurements in adhesive-bonded joints. Two approaches to estimate the debonding entity with the iFEM are compared on cracked leap shear specimens representative of CFRP repair patches: one is based on anomaly indexes, the other on performing a model selection with multiple iFEM models including different damages. The latter demonstrates satisfactory performances; thus, it is considered a significant scientific advancement in this field.
Atom walking in a traveling-wave light
Authors: Lai Wenxi 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we investigate mechanical motion of ultra-slow single atoms considering each atom is coherently coupled to a traveling-wave light. The main noise in this system is originated from Doppler broadening due to the continuous momentum distribution in atom wave packet. Here, it is proved that the Doppler broadening could be effectively suppressed in strong coupling regime. Under the coherent coupling, individual neutral atoms periodically walk in a definite direction. Direction of the motion depends on occupation of the atom in its two internal states related to the optical transition, since the atom would be affected by attractive or repulsive forces depending on the internal states. It is analogous to the electric force acting on negatively or positively charged particles. We explain them with spin–orbit coupling of atoms which is hidden in our Hamiltonian. These results have potential applications for the construction of future atomic devices.
Multiphoton coherent states for bilayer graphene
Authors: Fernández C David J , Martínez-Moreno Dennis I 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The multiphoton coherent states, a generalization to coherent states, are derived for electrons in bilayer graphene placed in a constant homogeneous magnetic field which is orthogonal to the bilayer surface. For that purpose a generalized annihilation operator is constructed in order to determine the multiphoton coherent states as eigenstates of such operator with complex eigenvalue. In addition, some physical quantities are calculated for these states, as the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, the probability density and the mean energy value. Finally, in order to study the dynamics of the system the time evolution is explored and the time-correlation function is computed.
The Saturation Mechanism in a two-stream free-electron laser based upon a rectangular hybrid wiggler

Published: March 2023

Abstract
This paper presents a one-dimensional nonlinear simulation of a square hybrid two-stream free electron laser (TSFEL) consisting of an axial magnetic field guide. It is supposed that the two cold relativistic electron beams differ in energy, while the electron beam’s self-fields, and radiation wave slippage relative to electron beams are neglected. A set of differential equations of the first order of coupled nonlinearity, obtained from the combination of Maxwell’s equations and Lorentz’s equations, can be numerically solved using a Runge–Kutta algorithm of fourth-order based on slowly varying amplitudes and wavenumbers approximation. According to the results of the calculations, the increase in the axial magnetic field will increase the efficiency in group I orbits while the saturation length decreases. The results for group II orbits are different from those of group I, so the efficiency decreases with the increasing axial magnetic field. There is, however, an increase in saturation length. Additionally, it is found that prebunching significantly reduces the length of saturation. A comparison of radiation saturation in an FEL and a TSFEL indicates that a TSFEL has a higher efficiency than an FEL. In contrast, the TSFEL has shorter saturation lengths.

Abstract
The properties of a plasma sheath in the presence of dust grains and a magnetic mirror-like field configuration have been investigated in this study. All the plasma species viz. electrons, ions, and dust grains are described by fluid equations. The system of equations involved in the study is solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta fourth-order (RK4) method to explore the sheath properties. The results of the study suggest that in the presence of a magnetic mirror-like field configuration, the component of ion velocity perpendicular to the wall decreases near the surface, and consequently, the ion density increases. To the best of our knowledge, such observations have not been reported anywhere previously. This utterly different observation is due to the magnetic field configuration alone. Such a behavior can be used to control the dynamics of the ions in the sheath. Moreover, ion-neutral collisions tend to reduce the effect of the magnetic field on the properties of the sheath. The study may be helpful to understand the interactions of plasma with the wall in different plasma-assisted industrial applications containing dust grains as contaminants. Besides, the study will play a significant role in controlling the dynamics of positive ions and negatively charged dust grains in the sheath. The space charge shows an unusual behavior near the sheath. In the usual scenario, the space charge slightly decreases near the wall. But in the present context, the space charge increases. Further, it has been observed that the dust surface potential near the wall becomes less negative with the increase in magnetic field strength. The magnetic field and ion-neutral collisions tend to restrict the movement of the ions toward the wall when acting separately, but their combined effect leads to a different kind of behavior altogether.
Model independent bounds for the number of e-folds during the evolution of the universe
Authors: Germán Gabriel , Gonzalez Quaglia R. , Moran Colorado A.M. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
We present a simple procedure to obtain universal bounds for quantities of cosmological interest, such as the number of e-folds during inflation, reheating, and radiation, as well as the reheating temperature. The main assumption is to represent each of the various epochs of evolution of the universe as being due to a single substance changing instantaneously into the next, describing a new era of evolution of the universe. This assumption, commonly used to obtain solutions of the Friedmann equations for simple cosmological models, is implemented here to find model-independent bounds on cosmological quantities of interest. In particular, we find that the bound Nk
≈ 56 for -1/3 < ω
re < 1/3 is very robust as an upper bound on the number of e-folds during inflation and also as a lower bound when ω
re > 1/3, where ω
re is the effective equation of state parameter during reheating. These are model-independent results that any single-field model of inflation should satisfy. As an example we illustrate with the basic α attractor model the usual model dependent approach, and the one presented here, and show how they complement each other.
Crack deflection in laminates with graded stiffness—lessons from biology
Authors: Greenfeld Israel , Wagner H Daniel 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
A crack propagating through a laminate can cause severe structural failure, which may be avoided by deflecting or arresting the crack before it deepens. Inspired by the biology of the scorpion exoskeleton, this study shows how crack deflection can be achieved by gradually varying the stiffness and thickness of the laminate layers. A new generalized multi-layer, multi-material analytical model is proposed, using linear elastic fracture mechanics. The condition for deflection is modeled by comparing the applied stress causing a cohesive failure, resulting in crack propagation, to that causing an adhesive failure, resulting in delamination between layers. We show that a crack propagating in a direction of progressively decreasing elastic moduli is likely to deflect sooner than when the moduli are uniform or increasing. The model is applied to the scorpion cuticle, the laminated structure of which is composed of layers of helical units (Bouligands) with inward decreasing moduli and thickness, interleaved with stiff unidirectional fibrous layers (interlayers). The decreasing moduli act to deflect cracks, whereas the stiff interlayers serve as crack arrestors, making the cuticle less vulnerable to external defects induced by its exposure to harsh living conditions. These concepts may be applied in the design of synthetic laminated structures to improve their damage tolerance and resilience.

Abstract
Nowadays, there is a growing awareness on the social and economic importance of the ocean. In this context, being able to carry out a diverse range of operations underwater is of paramount importance for many industrial sectors as well as for marine science and to enforce restoration and mitigation actions. Underwater robots allowed us to venture deeper and for longer time into the remote and hostile marine environment. However, traditional design concepts such as propeller driven remotely operated vehicles, autonomous underwater vehicles, or tracked benthic crawlers, present intrinsic limitations, especially when a close interaction with the environment is required. An increasing number of researchers are proposing legged robots as a bioinspired alternative to traditional designs, capable of yielding versatile multi-terrain locomotion, high stability, and low environmental disturbance. In this work, we aim at presenting the new field of underwater legged robotics in an organic way, discussing the prototypes in the state-of-the-art and highlighting technological and scientific challenges for the future. First, we will briefly recap the latest developments in traditional underwater robotics from which several technological solutions can be adapted, and on which the benchmarking of this new field should be set. Second, we will the retrace the evolution of terrestrial legged robotics, pinpointing the main achievements of the field. Third, we will report a complete state of the art on underwater legged robots focusing on the innovations with respect to the interaction with the environment, sensing and actuation, modelling and control, and autonomy and navigation. Finally, we will thoroughly discuss the reviewed literature by comparing traditional and legged underwater robots, highlighting interesting research opportunities, and presenting use case scenarios derived from marine science applications.
Quantum-quasiclassical analysis of center-of-mass nonseparability in hydrogen atom stimulated by strong laser fields

Authors: Melezhik Vladimir S 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
We have developed a quantum-quasiclassical computational scheme for quantitative treating of the nonseparable quantum–classical dynamics of the 6D hydrogen atom in a strong laser pulse. In this approach, the electron is treated quantum mechanically and the center-of-mass (CM) motion classically. Thus, the Schrödinger equation for the electron and the classical Hamilton equations for the CM variables, nonseparable due to relativistic effects stimulated by strong laser fields, are integrated simultaneously. In this approach, it is natural to investigate the idea of using the CM- velocity spectroscopy as a classical ‘build-up’ set up for detecting the internal electron quantum dynamics. We have performed such an analysis using the hydrogen atom in linearly polarized laser fields as an example and found a strong correlation between the CM kinetic energy distribution after a laser pulse and the spectral density of electron kinetic energy. This shows that it is possible to detect the quantum dynamics of an electron by measuring the distribution of the CM kinetic energy.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
The conventional luminescent materials used in the anticounterfeiting field generally exhibit unicolor output and a single-wavelength excitation mode, resulting in a poor anticounterfeiting effect. Herein, we successfully achieved a new transparent SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+/CaAlSiN3:Eu2+ phosphor-in-glass (PiG) with dynamic luminescence color variation from red to yellow in hundreds of seconds during the ultraviolet lamp irradiation and green persistent luminescence (PersL) after ceasing excitation. Additionally, the prepared PiG owns excitation wavelength- or doping weight ratio-dependent color-tunable luminescence. As a proof-of-concept experiment, the specially designed SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+/CaAlSiN3:Eu2+ PiG based flower patterns exhibit dynamic luminescence color variation under a simple ultraviolet lamp, and can be observed for quick discrimination. This work exploits a new perspective for the design of dynamic multicolor anticounterfeiting materials.
Asymptotic phase-locking and synchronization in two-qubit systems
Authors: Štěrba D , Novotný J , Jex I 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The paper concerns spontaneous asymptotic phase-locking and synchronization in two-qubit systems undergoing continuous Markovian evolution described by Lindbladian dynamics with normal Lindblad operators. Using analytic methods, all phase-locking-enforcing mechanisms within the given framework are obtained and classified. Detailed structures of their respective attractor spaces are provided and used to explore their properties from various perspectives. Amid phase-locking processes those additionally enforcing identical stationary parts of both qubits are identified, including as a special case the strictest form of synchronization conceivable. A prominent basis is presented which reveals that from a physical point of view two main types of phase-locking mechanisms exist. The ability to preserve information about the initial state is explored and an upper bound on the amplitude of oscillations of the resulting phase-locked dynamics is established. Permutation symmetry of both asymptotic states and phase-locking mechanisms is discussed. Lastly, the possibility of entanglement production playing the role of a phase-locking witness is rebutted by three analytically treatable examples.

AbstractBackgroundthe identification and minimization of hyponatraemia-inducing medication (HIM) usage is among the effective strategies for preventing hyponatraemia. However, the differential risk of severe hyponatraemia is unknown.Objectiveto evaluate the differential risk of severe hyponatraemia associated with newly started and concurrently used HIMs in older people.Design and settinga case–control study using national claims databases.Methodswe identified patients aged &gt;65 years with severe hyponatraemia as those hospitalised with a primary diagnosis of hyponatraemia or who had received tolvaptan or 3% NaCl. A 1:20 matched control with the same visit date was constructed. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess the association of newly started or concurrently used HIMs comprising 11 medication/classes with severe hyponatraemia after covariate adjustment.Resultsamong 47,766,420 older patients, we identified 9,218 with severe hyponatraemia. After adjusting for covariates, all HIM classes were found to be significantly associated with severe hyponatraemia. Compared with persistently used HIMs, newly started HIMs increased the likelihood of severe hyponatraemia for eight classes of HIMs, with the highest increase being observed for desmopressin (adjusted odds ratio: 3.82, 95% confidence interval: 3.01–4.85). Concurrent use increased the risk of severe hyponatraemia compared to that with individually administered HIMs: thiazide-desmopressin (4.86, 3.90–6.07), medications causing the syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion (SIADH)-desmopressin (2.65, 2.25–3.11), medications causing SIADH-thiazides (1.87, 1.75–1.98) and combination among medications causing SIADH (1.36, 1.28–1.45).Conclusionsin older adults, newly started and concurrently used HIMs increased the risk of severe hyponatraemia compared with persistently and singly used HIMs.
Considerations for implementation of vancomycin Bayesian software monitoring in a level IV NICU population within a multisite health system
Authors: Oliver Meredith B , Boeser Kimberly D , Carlson Melissa K , Hansen Lizbeth A 
Published: March 2023

AbstractPurposeThe updated 2020 vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring guideline advocates for area under the curve (AUC)–based monitoring in neonates, preferably with Bayesian estimation. This article describes the selection, planning, and implementation of vancomycin model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) software with Bayesian estimation in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) within an academic health system.SummaryThe selection, planning, and implementation of vancomycin MIPD software was completed in approximately 6 months throughout a health system with multiple NICU sites. The chosen software captures data on medications in additional to vancomycin, provides analytics support, includes specialty populations (eg, neonates), and offers the ability to integrate MIPD into the electronic health record. Pediatric pharmacy representatives served on a system-wide project team with key responsibilities including development of educational materials, drafting changes to policies and procedures, and assistance with department-wide software training. Additionally, pediatric and neonatal pharmacist super users trained other pediatric pharmacists on software functionality, were available the week of go-live for in-person support, and contributed to the identification of pediatric and NICU-specific nuances related to software implementation. Neonatal-specific considerations when implementing MIPD software include: the selection of appropriate pharmacokinetic model(s), continued evaluation of such model(s), selection of appropriate model(s) in infants as they age, input of significant covariates, determination of the site-specific serum creatinine assay, decision of the number of vancomycin serum concentrations obtained, discernment of patients excluded from AUC monitoring, and the utilization of actual versus dosing weight.ConclusionThis article serves to share our experience with selecting, planning, and implementing Bayesian software for vancomycin AUC monitoring in a neonatal population. Other health systems and children’s hospitals can utilize our experience to evaluate a variety of MIPD software and consider neonatal nuances prior to implementation.

Abstract

Background
People with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PWH) may be at increased risk for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes. We examined HIV status and COVID-19 severity, and whether tenofovir, used by PWH for HIV treatment and people without HIV (PWoH) for HIV prevention, was associated with protection.

Methods
Within 6 cohorts of PWH and PWoH in the United States, we compared the 90-day risk of any hospitalization, COVID-19 hospitalization, and mechanical ventilation or death by HIV status and by prior exposure to tenofovir, among those with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection between 1 March and 30 November 2020. Adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) were estimated by targeted maximum likelihood estimation, with adjustment for demographics, cohort, smoking, body mass index, Charlson comorbidity index, calendar period of first infection, and CD4 cell counts and HIV RNA levels (in PWH only).

Results
Among PWH (n = 1785), 15% were hospitalized for COVID-19 and 5% received mechanical ventilation or died, compared with 6% and 2%, respectively, for PWoH (n = 189 351). Outcome prevalence was lower for PWH and PWoH with prior tenofovir use. In adjusted analyses, PWH were at increased risk compared with PWoH for any hospitalization (aRR, 1.31 [95% confidence interval, 1.20–1.44]), COVID-19 hospitalizations (1.29 [1.15–1.45]), and mechanical ventilation or death (1.51 [1.19–1.92]). Prior tenofovir use was associated with reduced hospitalizations among PWH (aRR, 0.85 [95% confidence interval, .73–.99]) and PWoH (0.71 [.62–.81]).

Conclusions
Before COVID-19 vaccine availability, PWH were at greater risk for severe outcomes than PWoH. Tenofovir was associated with a significant reduction in clinical events for both PWH and PWoH.
