Deep Learning‐Based Prediction of Controllable Stress/Strain‐Rate Loading and Design for Loading Conditions

Materials Genome Engineering Advances, EarlyView.
This study establishes the relationship between loading conditions and loading results in graded density impactor (GDI)‐based controllable stress/strain‐rate loading via deep learning, and ultimately realizing the prediction of loading curves and design of loading conditions.

Modeling the Intermediate Flow Regime in Flow‐Compensated Intravoxel Incoherent Motion MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model is commonly used to separate the effects of motion related to diffusion and blood microcirculation (perfusion) on the MR signal. Depending on the encoding time (T), it is possible to probe the different temporal regimes of blood motion, which resemble a ballistic flow at short T and a ...

Toward Optimized Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) and Compartmental T2 Mapping in Abdominal Organs

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To quantitatively assess the bias in the intravoxel incoherent motions (IVIM)–derived pseudo‐diffusion volume fraction (f) caused by the differences in relaxation times between the tissue and fluid compartments, and to develop a two‐dimensional (b‐value‐TE) fitting approach for simultaneous T2 and IVIM parameter estimation along with ...

Joint Optimal Allocation of Resources for Multiple Jammer Based on Multi‐Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning

IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation
In response to the complex scenario where multiple jammers navigate through a netted radar system (NRS), this study presents an optimised allocation algorithm for cooperative jamming resources, namely the Multi‐Agent Jamming Resource Allocation (MJCJRA ...

Kinetic Compensation of Barrel Launch Under High‐Speed Solid‐Phase Particulate Impacts

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An accurate launch‐dynamics computational method is critical for barrel weapon service life assessment and multiphase physics field refinement. Given the lack of studies on the solid‐phase buildup behavior at the projectile base, this paper provides an improved method for calculating the launching dynamics under high pressure and high speed ...

Comparative Assessment of Energetic Plasticizers Including NFPEG3N3 in a GAP/HMX Formulation: Mechanics, Stability, Combustion, and Performance

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the new energetic plasticizer 3‐(2‐(2‐(2‐azidoethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)‐4‐nitro‐1,2,5‐oxadiazole (NFPEG3N3), three reference compounds (BDNPA/F, Bu‐NENA, and DNDA‐57), and a plasticizer‐free control in a fixed HMX/GAP composite. NFPEG3N3 provides the strongest low‐temperature properties, yielding the lowest formulation glass transition ...
