Finite element analysis and experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the design, with a peak velocity of 17.48 mm/s and a maximum load capacity of 55 g.

In this paper, a novel method for high-strain rate tensile testing of aluminum alloys based on magnetic pulse driving was proposed. The method can generate a fast-rising edge and adjustable stress pulses to enable uniaxial tensile deformation, reaching a target strain rate quickly and keeping it constant. Based on the theory of stress wave transmission, a single-point method for measuring stress-strain relationship of the specimen combining digital image correlation (DIC) technology is proposed. Finite element simulations using the explicit finite element software LS-DYNA demonstrate a good agreement between the strains and strain rate with experimental values.

The developed diagnostic system for atomic processes aims to present the atomic process distributions of ionization and recombination in the whole divertor region of HL-3, which is equipped with the multi-channel visible imaging optics, two SCMOS cameras having identical parameters, and bandpass filters. This configuration enables high spatiotemporal resolution measurements of Balmer lines across the entire divertor region. The maximum frequency of the cameras is 400 fps (512 pixel × 512 pixel), and the field of view covers the entire 1100 × 650 cm2 area of the divertor with the spatial resolution of 1 × 1 cm2. The intensity ratio of experimental measurements of Balmer lines can be used to assess the leading region of ionization, transition from ionization to recombination, and recombination from the Atomic Data and Analysis Structure database. The preliminary results show that ionization is primarily distributed near the last closed flux surface (LCFS), while the transition from ionization to recombination and recombination predominate within a limited region distant from the LCFS. Through the corresponding S/XB, the numbers of ionization and recombination per unit time within the divertor region are obtained. With the evolution of time, the electron density gradually increases, and the ionization region and ionization rate gradually increase.

Based on the cavity perturbation technique, we have shown that all components of the surface impedance tensor can be extracted under the application of a magnetic field by comparing the right- and left-handed circularly polarized modes. To verify the validity of the developed method, we performed test measurements on tiny Bi single crystals at low temperatures.

In order to address this problem and provide better stability and measurement accuracy, this paper designs a fuzzy proportional integral differential (PID) controller and realizes the drive control of the motor on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) using the Verilog hardware description language (HDL). The advantages of the proposed controller are verified by comparing the simulation results with those of the traditional PID controller. First, the technical index of the LUSM as the driving element is studied through theoretical analysis based on the operation mechanism of the absolute gravimeter. Then, the relationship between the output performance and the input parameters (excitation voltage, preload, and driving frequency) of the motor in a vacuum/natural environment is experimentally investigated. Finally, an experimental system is constructed, and experiments are conducted to measure the acceleration of gravity and compare with the test results of the habitual FG-5 absolute gravimeter. The experimental results show that the output performance of the V-shaped LUSM meets the requirements of the driving element of the absolute gravimeter. The combination of the two control methods can realize the repeatable and stable operation of the system.
