  • Patent number: 11707895
    Abstract: A zero-Poisson-ratio honeycomb structure and an interlocking assembly manufacturing method thereof are provided. The honeycomb structure is formed by combining a four-pointed star shaped structure and horizontal and vertical honeycomb wall arrays at star corners. The zero-Poisson-ratio honeycomb structure not only has the zero-Poisson-ratio characteristic, but also can achieve respective design of in-plane and out-of-plane mechanical properties. Meanwhile, due to the existence of the horizontal honeycomb walls and the vertical honeycomb walls, the connection of multiple honeycomb walls at angular points in the honeycomb structure is avoided. Moreover, a novel manufacturing mode is provided for the honeycomb structure in addition to prepare the honeycomb structure by utilizing a 3D printing process. The honeycomb structure can be manufactured by combining an interlocking assembly process with resin matrix composites.

  • Publication number: 20230178983
    Abstract: A fast and flexible holomorphic embedding-based method for assessing power system load margins includes the following steps: S1, acquiring required decrypted power system data from a partner indirectly; S2, establishing a system of continuation power flow equations; S3, solving the continuation power flow equation by FFHE; and S4, designing and planning a scheduling policy for the power system based on the solved load margin. Compared with prediction through a linear function, the present method is considerably precise and efficient by utilizing rational approximants obtained by expanding arc-length series without repeatedly applying a local solver inefficiently and multifariously for correction. An efficient solution is developed to solve this type of nonlinear equations efficiently. Compared with existing methods, the present method is significantly improved in computational efficiency, computational accuracy, solvable system scale and the like.
