Two-point contact is one of the fundamental problems of wheel-rail contact in switch area. The contact state and the distribution of forces are complex and essential points in wheel-rail relationship. Given the problem that the current dynamic wheel-rail contact state is challenging to detect, a theory to detect the two-point contact state of the wheel-rail in switch area using a discrete gauge column was presented and proved in the finite element model. This paper derived the relationship between strain gauge position and stress using a modified rail model. The patch scheme was determined using the rail waist bending moment difference method to achieve decoupling of the bridge circuit of the force measurement columns. The bridge circuit was calibrated by means of the modified theoretical calibration method, and the circuit test data was obtained for the two-point contact condition in the switch area. The study compared the results obtained from the wheel-rail column finite model and circuit test data for two-point contact conditions, demonstrated the method's ability to identify the two-point contact state and the wheel-rail force distribution characteristics in the switch area. The results show that the method can identify the two-point contact state in switch area and distribute characteristics of the wheel-rail force. And the wheel-rail contact point position can be deduced accurately according to the wheel-rail force. This test method provides a test verification scheme for wheel-rail two-point rolling contact theory and a new technology for the dynamic force testing of wheel-rail in switch area.

Electrical contacts are of the greatest importance as they decisively contribute to the overall performance of photoresistors. Undoped κ-GaO is an ideal material for photoresistors with high performance in the UV-C spectral region thanks to its intrinsic solar blindness and extremely low dark current. The quality assessment of the contact/κ-GaO interface is therefore of paramount importance.

Human fingertip tactile perception relies on the activation of densely distributed tactile receptors to identify contact patterns in the brain. Despite significant efforts to integrate tactile sensors with machine learning algorithms for recognizing physical patterns on object surfaces, developing a tactile sensing system that emulates human fingertip capabilities for identifying contact patterns with a high spatiotemporal resolution remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we present the development of an artificial tactile finger for accurate contact pattern identification, achieved through the integration of a high spatiotemporal piezoresistive sensor array (PRSA) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) model.

A spatial redundantly actuated parallel mechanism (RAPM) constrained by two point contact higher kinematic pairs (HKPs) has been designed, arising from the inspiration of mastication in human beings: the end effector is the lower jaw, the six kinematic chains are the primary chewing muscles, and the constraints at HKPs are the temporomandibular joints. In this paper, firstly, the constrained motions of the mechanism are described in detail; thereafter, five models are formulated by the well-known Newton-Euler's law, the Lagrangian equations, and the principle of virtual work, to explore its rigid-body inverse dynamics. The symbolic results show that the model structures based on these approaches are quite different: the model via the Newton-Euler law well reflects the nature of the mechanism in terms of the constraint forces from HKPs with six equations and eight unknowns, and the existence of reaction forces at the spherical joints is tightly dependent on the number of kinematic chains.

We present analytical results of the fundamental properties of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model with a repulsive interaction. The new model results with arbitrary external fields include: (I) using the exact solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations of the Hubbard model, we first rigorously calculate the gapless spin and charge excitations, exhibiting exotic features of fractionalized spinons and holons. We then investigate the gapped excitations in terms of the spin string and thek-Λstring bound states at arbitrary driving fields, showing subtle differences in spin magnons and charge-pair excitations.
