Experimental analysis for the effect of dynamic capillarity on stress transformation in porous silicon

The evolution of real-time stress in porous silicon(PS) during drying is investigated using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The results show that the PS sample underwent non-negligible stress when immersed in liquid and suffered a stress impulsion during drying. Such nonlinear transformation and nonhomogeneneous distribution of stress are regarded as the coupling effects of several physical phenomena attributable to the intricate topological structure of PS. The effect of dynamic capillarity can induce microcracks and even collapse in PSstructures during manufacture and storage.This work is funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China Contract Nos. 10732080 and 10502014

Astrophysical observables for regular black holes with sub-Planckian curvature

We investigate the photon sphere and the extremal stable circular orbit (ESCO) for massive particles over a recently proposed regular black holes with sub-Planckian curvature and Minkowskian core. We derive the effective potential for geodesic orbits and determine the radius of circular photon orbits, with an analysis on the stability of these orbits. We extend our analysis to the background of compact massive object (CMO) without horizon, whose mass is below the lowest bound for the formation of a black hole. For massive particles, the ESCOs become double-valued in CMO phase and we calculate the innermost stable circular orbits (ISCO) and the outermost stable circular orbits (OSCO). By comparing wih Bardeen black hole and Hayward black hole, it is also found that the locations of photon sphere and ESCO in CMO phase with Minkowskian core are evidently different from the ones in CMO phase with dS core, which potentially provides a way to distinguish these two sorts of black holes by astronomical observation.Comment: V1:23pages,8figures,V2:Changed the annotation format of figure 3, two clerical errors were corrected on pages 18,19, no physics change

Perturbation bounds for constrained and weighted least squares problems

AbstractWe derive perturbation bounds for the constrained and weighted linear least squares (LS) problems. Both the full rank and rank-deficient cases are considered. The analysis generalizes some results of earlier works

Guidance Law Design for a Class of Dual-Spin Mortars

To minimize the cost and maximize the ease of use, a class of dual-spin mortars is designed which only rely on GPS receiver and geomagnetic measurements. However, there are some problems to be solved when the range is small, such as low correction authority and trajectory bending. Guidance law design for this mortar is detailed. Different guidance laws were designed for the ascending and descending segments, respectively. By taking variable parameter guidance law in the vertical plane and using compensation in the lateral plane, the problems mentioned above were resolved. Roll angle resolving algorithms with geomagnetic measurements were demonstrated and the experiment results proved to be effective. In order to verify the effectiveness, Seven-Degrees-of-Freedom (7-DOF) rigid ballistic model were established and hardware in the loop simulation was introduced. After the transform function of the actuator was obtained, the control model of the shell was improved. The results of the Monte Carlo simulation demonstrate that the guidance law is suitable and the mortar can be effectively controlled
