However, the incomplete understanding of its biomechanical mechanisms makes OK lens fitting rely heavily on clinician judgment, complicating accurate predictions of treatment outcomes. In this paper, we performed clinical experiments and numerical analysis to study corneal deformation modes and long-term changes in central corneal thickness. Clinical experiments were conducted on 194 Chinese myopic patients under OK treatment for 3 months. Based on the experimental data, a patient-specific computational biomechanical model for OK was established and validated. Specifically, the anisotropic mechanical properties of the cornea were incorporated into the model to describe the significant difference between its shear modulus (29.5 kPa) and tensile modulus (768.4 kPa). Additionally, a visco-hyperelastic material model with a prolonged corneal relaxation time of 5.6 h was developed to capture the long-term deformation response. The results show that corneal thickness reduction in OK is primarily due to out-of-plane shear deformation, influenced by the cornea’s low shear resistance. Modeling the extended corneal relaxation time is crucial for predicting long-term biomechanical responses. The computational model effectively captures long-term changes in central corneal thickness, potentially improving OK lens fitting accuracy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":774,"journal":{"name":"Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142691879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, despite the fundamental and technological importance of thermal transport in amorphous solids, the effect of DHU remains largely unexplored. Here, we theoretically study thermal transport in a class of two-dimensional DHU materials—monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC). Beginning with a perfect graphene lattice, we continuously apply Stone-Wales transformations to generate a series of MAC models with varied degrees of disorder and defects, which are quantified through comprehensive structural analysis including the so-called hyperuniformity index (<i>H</i>), where a smaller <i>H</i> indicates a higher degree of hyperuniformity. Subsequently, we conduct molecular dynamics simulations to obtain the thermal conductivity (<i>κ</i>). A significant correlation between the thermal transport behavior and degree of hyperuniformity is observed, with the room-temperature <i>κ</i> decreasing from 26.3 to 5.3 W m<sup>−1</sup> K<sup>−1</sup> while <i>H</i> is tuned from 0.0004 to 0.024. Remarkably, two distinct transport regimes are identified, including a nearly-DHU regime at small <i>H</i> (< 0.005) where <i>κ</i> drops sharply and a non-DHU region at larger <i>H</i> where <i>κ</i> becomes relatively flat. Mode-resolved analysis reveals longer lifetime and higher participation ratio for the heat carriers in nearly-DHU MAC, implying that the hidden long-range correlations could support extended modes that enhance transport. Our work highlights the impact of DHU on the thermal properties of amorphous materials and represents a conceptual advancement that is worthy of future exploration.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":774,"journal":{"name":"Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy","volume":"68 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142679793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the intrinsic metastable nature of supercooled liquids, the design of imprinting processes for MGs poses a challenge. In the past, process parameters have largely relied on trial-and-error strategies. In this work, a low-frequency active force modulation system is employed to apply a stable, precise, and real-time feedback stress field for imprinting of MG samples. Low-frequency vibrations can facilitate the filling of microstructures on the template surface by reducing the effective viscosity of the supercooled liquid. With the dataset composed of orthogonal experiments, a machine learning strategy based on back-propagation (BP) neural networks was utilized to construct a 3D parameter space for temperature, stress, and time, and to predict the corresponding filling ratio. Furthermore, the optimal combination of imprinting process parameters was identified, and its filling ratio was experimentally validated to reach as high as 0.94. The near-perfect replication of microstructures confirms the superiority of the active force modulation system and the data-driven strategy of machine learning-assisted parameter design.
