A Stiffness Modeling Approach for Multi-Leaf Spring Mechanism Supporting Coupling Error Analysis of Nano- Stages

Shuai-Shuai Lu,Peng Yan 한국정밀공학회 2017 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.18 No.6

In the present paper, we take the multi-leaf spring mechanism as a particular element to develop a modeling approach for the stiffness by considering the coupling effects of the cross axis force. With this, a more accurate model of the multi-leaf spring based nano-stage is derived by incorporating the effect of cross axis input force, which can better predict the coupling error. The new analytical model indicates that the total axial stiffness is an inverse-quadratic function of the cross axis input load instead of a constant value, which can be used to analyze the cross axis coupling error of multi-leaf spring based nano-stages. The proposed analysis method is then verified by FEA and experiments, where excellent results are demonstrated in predicting the cross axis coupling effects of nano-stages such as stiffness variation and coupling error. The proposed approach offers a new look into the design and manipulation of multileaf spring based nano-stages.

Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel on Earth and is used in a wide range of applications. The direct combustion of high-sulfur coal produces a large amount of sulfur dioxide, which is a toxic and corrosive gas. A new superconducting high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) technology was studied to remove sulfur from high sulfur coal. The magnetic separation concentrate was obtained under the optimum parameters, such as a particle size of -200 mesh, a magnetic field strength of 2.0 T, a slurry concentration of 15 g/L, and a slurry flow rate of 600 ml/min. The removal rate of sulfur is up to 59.9%. The method uses a magnetic field to remove sulfur-containing magnetic material from a pulverized coal solution. It is simple process with, high efficiency, and is a new way.

Cijun Shuai,Xuan Chen,Chongxian He,Guowen Qian,Yang Shuai,SHUPING PENG,Youwen Deng,Wenjing Yang 한국생체재료학회 2022 생체재료학회지 Vol.26 No.3

Background: Fe3O4 nanoparticles are highly desired for constructing endogenous magnetic microenvironment in scaffold to accelerate bone regeneration due to their superior magnetism. However, their random arrangement easily leads to mutual consumption of magnetic poles, thereby weakening the magnetic stimulation effect. Methods: In this study, magnetic nanochains are synthesized by magnetic-field-guided interface co-assembly of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. In detail, multiple Fe3O4 nanoparticles are aligned along the direction of magnetic force lines and are connected in series to form nanochain structures under an external magnetic field. Subsequently, the nanochain structures are covered and fixed by depositing a thin layer of silica (SiO2), and consequently forming linear magnetic nanochains (Fe3O4@SiO2). The Fe3O4@SiO2 nanochains are then incorporated into poly l-lactic acid (PLLA) scaffold prepared by selective laser sintering technology. Results: The results show that the Fe3O4@SiO2 nanochains with unique core–shell structure are successfully constructed. Meanwhile, the orderly assembly of nanoparticles in the Fe3O4@SiO2 nanochains enable to form magnetic energy coupling and obtain a highly magnetic micro-field. The in vitro tests indicate that the PLLA/Fe3O4@SiO2 scaffolds exhibit superior capacity in enhancing cell activity, improving osteogenesis-related gene expressions, and inducing cell mineralization compared with PLLA and PLLA/Fe3O4 scaffolds. Conclusion: In short, the Fe3O4@SiO2 nanochains endow scaffolds with good magnetism and cytocompatibility, which have great potential in accelerating bone repair

The Factors Affecting on the Franchisor's Performance, Satisfaction and Recontract Intention : Focusing on the Chinese Franchise Market

Shuai Su,Jun Zhang 한국유통과학회 2012 KODISA ICBE (International Conference on Business Vol.2012 No.-

In this research, we investigate the factors affecting on the recontract intension of franchisor in the uprising Chinese franchise market. Based on the previous study, we extract the four constructs: characteristics of franchisor, features of franchisee, relationship, and environmental uncertainty. We hypothesize that these four factors influence the performance and satisfaction of franchisor, and both performance and satisfaction influence its recontract intention in the end. In order to examine these hypotheses empirically, we conducted a survey on the 400 franchisors in China. By analyzing the data, we can confirm most hypothesis supposed. Characteristics of franchisor, franchisee, and their relationship influence the performance and the satisfaction of franchisor along with environmental uncertainty. However, in specific, the control of franchisor and the commitment of franchisor do not significantly influence on the performance. Trust, commitment and conflict in their relationship do not affect significantly on the performance and the satisfaction neither. The performance and satisfaction of franchisor positively influence the recontract intention of franchisor. This study thus provide franchisors and practitioners, who plan to extend their franchising business abroad into Chinese market, with some practical knowledge.

Node-Level Trust Evaluation Model Based on Blockchain in Ad Hoc Network

Shuai-ling Yan,정영지 한국인터넷방송통신학회 2019 Journal of Advanced Smart Convergence Vol.8 No.4

Due to the characteristics of an ad hoc network without a control center, self-organization, and flexible topology, the trust evaluation of the nodes in the network is extremely difficult. Based on the analysis of ad hoc networks and the blockchain technology, a blockchain-based node-level trust evaluation model is proposed. The concepts of the node trust degree of the HASH list on the blockchain and the perfect reward and punishment mechanism are adopted to construct the node trust evaluation model of the ad hoc network. According to the needs of different applications the network security level can be dynamically adjusted through changes in the trust threshold. The simulation experiments demonstrate that ad-hoc on-demand distance vector(AODV) Routing protocol based on this model of multicast-AODV(MAODV) routing protocol shows a significant improvement in security compared with the traditional AODV and on-demand multipath distance vector(AOMDV) routing protocols.

Investigation of Large-scale Transmission Tower Grounding Grid with High Amplitude and Uniform Flowing Impulse Current

Shuai Yang,Jiarui Huang,Shaodong Wei,Wenjun Zhou 대한전기학회 2018 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.13 No.5

Impulse characteristic of transmission tower grounding grid is needed for lightning protection of transmission line. This paper describes an outdoor experimental test facility established for large-scale grounding grid of transmission tower, made up of four impulse current generators and a circle current return electrode. The amplitude of impulse current is up to 100 kA. The results of the CDEGS simulation and GPR measurement reveal the uniform current distribution in the test arrangement. An impulse test for a square electrode with extended conductors is carried out in condition of three current waveforms with different amplitude. Based on the electrical network model and iterative algorithm method, a calculation model is proposed to simulate the impulse characteristic of large-scale grounding grid considering soil ionization. The curve of impulse resistance against the current amplitude shows the soil ionization both from the simulation and test. Deviation between the simulation and test result is less than 15%.

Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Bonding Layers Between Low Carbon Steel and Alloy 625 Processed by Gas Tungsten arc Welding

Shuai Lou,이슬비,남대근,최윤석 대한금속·재료학회 2017 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.23 No.6

A filler metal wire, Alloy 625, was cladded on a plate of a low carbon streel, SS400, by gas tungsten arc welding,and the morphology of the weld bead and resulting dilution ratio were investigated under different welding parametervalues (the input current, weld speed and wire feed speed). The wire feed speed was found to be most influentialin controlling the dilution ratio of the weld bead, and seemed to limit the influence of other weldingparameters. Two extreme welding conditions (with the minimum and maximum dilution ratios) were identified,and the corresponding microstructures, hardness and tensile properties near the bond line were compared betweenthe two cases. The weld bead with the minimum dilution ratio showed superior hardness and tensile properties,while the formation lath martensite (due to relatively fast cooling) affected mechanical properties in the heataffected zone of the base metal with the maximum dilution ratio.

Research on Factors Affecting South Korea’s OFDI Based on a Spatial Measurement Model

Shuai Su,Fan ZHANG 한국무역학회 2022 Journal of Korea trade Vol.26 No.1

Purpose – This paper empirically investigates via a spatial lag model from the perspective of space economy to find the influencing factors of South Korea’s OFDI along with 60 countries. Design/methodology – In the study of regional economic phenomena, we must first test the corresponding spatial correlation, and on this basis, complete the construction of the spatial model. For the target research object, after testing the spatial correlation, if there is spatial correlation, a spatial measurement model is needed. This paper uses the global Moran’s I index for calculation. Based on the characteristics and research needs of the research object, this paper selects the spatial lag model to verify the existence of the spatial effect and factors affecting OFDI. Findings – Our results show that export scale, infrastructure, technology level, political stability, resource endowment, market size, distance and labor cost have a certain impact on Korea’s OFDI, but at present the distance and market size factors are the most important influencing factors for South Korea’s OFDI, The technical level and political stability have little effect on South Korea’s OFDI, and are not main factors determining South Korea’s OFDI. Originality/value – Through spatial measurement verification, it was found that the spatial effect has a significant impact on OFDI, along with more than 60 countries. On this basis, relevant suggestions are put forward, which have strong practical significance for South Korea's OFDI to achieve healthy and sustainable development.

Shuai Wang,Hengzhe Lin,Yan Yang,Xin Zhao,Li Mei,Wei Zheng,Yu Li,Zhihe Zhao 대한치과교정학회 2018 대한치과교정학회지 Vol.48 No.3

Objective: This study was performed to validate the autonomous maximal smile (AMS) as a new reference for evaluating dental and gingival exposure. Methods: Digital video clips of 100 volunteers showing posed smiles and AMS at different verbal directives were recorded for evaluation a total of three times at 1-week intervals. Lip-teeth relationship width (LTRW) and buccal corridor width (BCW) were measured. LTRW represented the vertical distance between the inferior border of the upper vermilion and the edge of the maxillary central incisors. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for reproducibility, and the m-value (minimum number of repeated measurements required for an ICC level over 0.75), were calculated. Results: LTRW and BCW of the AMS were 1.41 and 2.04 mm, respectively, greater than those of the posed smile (p < 0.05), indicating significantly larger dental and gingival exposure in the AMS. The reproducibility of the AMS (0.74 to 0.77) was excellent, and higher than that of the posed smile (0.62 to 0.65), which had fair-to-good reproducibility. Moreover, the m-value of the AMS (0.88 to 1.05) was lower than that of the posed smile (1.59 to 1.85). Conclusions: Compared to the posed smile, the AMS shows significantly larger LTRW and BCW, with significantly higher reproducibility. The AMS might serve as an adjunctive reference, in addition to the posed smile, in orthodontic and other dentomaxillofacial treatments.
