This may induce chronic increases in blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of hypertension in people working in occupations generally accepted as high stress in comparison to those working in an environment where less of these obvious high stressors were present. Methods: Resting blood pressure was measured by TrUBP in 1067 on-duty first responders (fire, paramedic, and police), and in participants generally associated with a lower-stress work environment (transit workers, city and bank employees, factory workers and legislature employees). Results: The average age, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly lower in those employees working in a high-stress environment than those in a low-stress job. This difference was observed in both male and female sexes. Conclusions: Our data do not support an association of high resting blood pressure values in those employed in activities typically associated with a high-stress urban working environment.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of tooth loss on blood pressure among Congolese population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2019 until December 2023 among Congolese population aged at least 30 years reporting to the living in DR Congo. All participants were enrolled from Dental Clinic located in the DR Congo. To be eligible to participate in the study, were the willing to participate and having signed informed consent;had a missing tooth;had carried out blood pressure measurement (hypertension/normotensive). The exclusion criteria were determined: being less than 30 years old, being pregnant for women considering the risk of existing gestational hypertension, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and diabetes. Hypertension was defined as the mean of three measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP) (140 mmHg or higher), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (90 mm or higher) or physician diagnosed hypertension confirmed from medical records. We determined the number of tooth loss from oral examination. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to investigate the effect of tooth loss on blood pressure. Results: In all, 25,396 participants were enrolled among Congolese population for this study. After oral examination, 13,421 were excluded for no tooth loss and 11,975 participants were selected. The average number of tooth loss among study population was 11.06. Among the participants with hypertension had lost an average of 11 teeth, significantly higher than those without hypertension (6.09) (p = 0.001). After adjusting for covariates (socio-demographic characteristics), tooth loss (>10) was significantly associated with hypertension, with OR = 1.32 (95% CI 1.073 - 2.38). Conclusion: Tooth loss maybe associated with severe hypertension among Congolese population adults. Prevention of tooth loss is very important to the overall health of this population.展开更多

Methods: This study is a prospective controlled trial that selected patients undergoing two-port thoracoscopic valve surgery at a certain hospital from January 2019 to December 2024. Patients were randomly assigned to the control group and the negative pressure group using a random number table method. The control group consisted of 30 patients (20 males, 10 females, mean age 42.03 ± 12.89 years), and the negative pressure group consisted of 35 patients (26 males, 9 females, mean age 41.84 ± 11.83 years). The control group received traditional chest drainage, while the negative pressure group received negative pressure chest drainage. Postoperative pain scores, hospital stay, drainage time, number of tube blockages, and incidences of pneumothorax or subcutaneous emphysema were recorded and statistically analyzed. Results: The negative pressure group had a significantly shorter postoperative drainage time compared to the control group (49.09 ± 11.99 hours vs. 79.10 ± 7.32 hours, P < 0.001). The postoperative pain score was lower in the negative pressure group (4.49 ± 1.27 vs. 7.03 ± 0.85, P < 0.001), and the hospital stay was significantly shorter (9.83 ± 1.69 days vs. 14.73 ± 2.32 days, P < 0.001). The incidence of pneumothorax or subcutaneous emphysema was significantly lower in the negative pressure group than in the control group (14.29% vs. 56.67%, P = 0.0003). Conclusion: The application of negative pressure chest drainage in patients after two-port thoracoscopic valve surgery can effectively reduce postoperative pain, shorten hospital stay, and lower the incidence of tube blockage and pneumothorax, demonstrating good clinical outcomes.展开更多

MDRPI, a peculiar subtype of pressure injuries (PI), result from the pression exerted by devices (or their fixation systems) applied for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. MDRPI represent a serious problem for patients and healthcare systems. Understanding potential risk factors is an important step in implementing effective interventions. Methods: In this study, we will perform a systematic review;if possible, also a meta-analysis will be performed. The review will follow the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines for systematic reviews. A rigorous literature search will be conducted both in electronic databases (Medline/PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library) to identify studies published since 2000 and in gray literature for unpublished studies. Pairs of researchers will identify relevant evidence, extract data, and assess risk of bias independently in each eligible study. Factors associated with the occurrence of MDRPI are considered the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes are prevalence and incidence of MDRPI, length of hospital stay, infections, and death. The evidence will be synthesized using the GRADE methodology. Results: Results are not currently available as this is a protocol for a systematic review. Conclusions: This systematic review will identify evidence on risk factors for developing MDRPI. We are confident that the results of this review will help to improve clinical practice and guide future research.展开更多

This difference was observed in both male and female sexes.

文摘Background: Tooth loss results in impaired mastication, which in turn, makes it difficult to chew hard food, consequently leading to deteriorate dietary habits and to develop hypertension. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of tooth loss on blood pressure among Congolese population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2019 until December 2023 among Congolese population aged at least 30 years reporting to the living in DR Congo.

Conclusion: Tooth loss maybe associated with severe hypertension among Congolese population adults. Prevention of tooth loss is very important to the overall health of this population.
文摘Objective: This study aims to investigate the drainage effect and clinical outcomes of negative pressure chest drainage in patients after two-port thoracoscopic valve surgery, comparing the differences in postoperative pain, hospital stay, and other factors between the negative pressure group and the control group. Methods: This study is a prospective controlled trial that selected patients undergoing two-port thoracoscopic valve surgery at a certain hospital from January 2019 to December 2024. Patients were randomly assigned to the control group and the negative pressure group using a random number table method. The control group consisted of 30 patients (20 males, 10 females, mean age 42.03 ± 12.89 years), and the negative pressure group consisted of 35 patients (26 males, 9 females, mean age 41.84 ± 11.83 years). The control group received traditional chest drainage, while the negative pressure group received negative pressure chest drainage. Postoperative pain scores, hospital stay, drainage time, number of tube blockages, and incidences of pneumothorax or subcutaneous emphysema were recorded and statistically analyzed. Results: The negative pressure group had a significantly shorter postoperative drainage time compared to the control group (49.09 ± 11.99 hours vs. 79.10 ± 7.32 hours, P < 0.001). The postoperative pain score was lower in the negative pressure group (4.49 ± 1.27 vs. 7.03 ± 0.85, P < 0.001), and the hospital stay was significantly shorter (9.83 ± 1.69 days vs. 14.73 ± 2.32 days, P < 0.001). The incidence of pneumothorax or subcutaneous emphysema was significantly lower in the negative pressure group than in the control group (14.29% vs. 56.67%, P = 0.0003). Conclusion: The application of negative pressure chest drainage in patients after two-port thoracoscopic valve surgery can effectively reduce postoperative pain, shorten hospital stay, and lower the incidence of tube blockage and pneumothorax, demonstrating good clinical outcomes.
文摘Objective: To identify the principal factors associated with the occurrence and development of medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPI) in adults admitted to hospitals. MDRPI, a peculiar subtype of pressure injuries (PI), result from the pression exerted by devices (or their fixation systems) applied for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. MDRPI represent a serious problem for patients and healthcare systems. Understanding potential risk factors is an important step in implementing effective interventions. Methods: In this study, we will perform a systematic review;if possible, also a meta-analysis will be performed. The review will follow the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines for systematic reviews. A rigorous literature search will be conducted both in electronic databases (Medline/PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library) to identify studies published since 2000 and in gray literature for unpublished studies. Pairs of researchers will identify relevant evidence, extract data, and assess risk of bias independently in each eligible study. Factors associated with the occurrence of MDRPI are considered the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes are prevalence and incidence of MDRPI, length of hospital stay, infections, and death. The evidence will be synthesized using the GRADE methodology. Results: Results are not currently available as this is a protocol for a systematic review. Conclusions: This systematic review will identify evidence on risk factors for developing MDRPI. We are confident that the results of this review will help to improve clinical practice and guide future research.

文摘In the scenario of a steam generator tube rupture accident in a lead-cooled fast reactor,secondary circuit subcooled water under high pressure is injected into an ordinary-pressure primary vessel,where a molten lead-based alloy(typically pure lead or lead-bismuth eutectic(LBE))is used as the coolant.To clarify the pressure build-up characteristics under water-jet injection,this study conducted several experiments by injecting pressurized water into a molten LBE pool at Sun Yat-sen University.To obtain a further understanding,several new experimental parameters were adopted,including the melt temperature,water subcooling,injection pressure,injection duration,and nozzle diameter.Through detailed analyses,it was found that the pressure and temperature during the water-melt interaction exhibited a consistent variation trend with our previous water-droplet injection mode LBE experiment.Similarly,the existence of a steam explosion was confirmed,which typically results in a much stronger pressure build-up.For the non-explosion cases,increasing the injection pressure,melt-pool temperature,nozzle diameter,and water subcooling promoted pressure build-up in the melt pool.However,a limited enhancement effect was observed when increasing the injection duration,which may be owing to the continually rising pressure in the interaction vessel or the isolation effect of the generated steam cavity.Regardless of whether a steam explosion occurred,the calculated mechanical and kinetic energy conversion efficiencies of the melt were relatively small(not exceeding 4.1%and 0.7%,respectively).Moreover,the range of the conversion efficiency was similar to that of previous water-droplet experiments,although the upper limit of the jet mode was slightly lower.

文摘Molybdenum nitride,renowned for its exceptional physical and chemical properties,has garnered extensive attention and research interest.In this study,we employed first-principles calculations and the CALYPSO structure prediction method to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the crystal structures and electronic properties of molybdenum nitride(Mo_(x)N_(1-x))under high pressure.We discovered two novel high-pressure phases:Imm2-MoN_(3) and Cmmm-MoN_(4),and confirmed their stability through the analysis of elastic constants and phonon dispersion curves.Notably,the MoN_(4) phase,with its high Vickers hardness of 36.9 GPa,demonstrates potential as a hard material.The results of this study have broadened the range of known high-pressure phases of molybdenum nitride,providing the groundwork for future theoretical and experimental researches.
文摘Objective:To analyze the characteristics of ambulatory blood pressure in elderly patients with hypertension and find out the risk factors of abnormal circadian rhythm.Methods:According to the circadian rhythm of patients'blood pressure,they were divided into Group A,Group B and Group C,and all the data of hypertension patients in this study were collected,including age,gender,BMI,smoking,drinking,basic diseases(diabetes,cerebrovascular disease,hyperlipidemia,etc.),fasting blood glucose,ambulatory blood pressure(24-hour mean systolic pressure,24-hour mean diastolic pressure,daytime mean systolic pressure and daytime mean diastolic pressure).Results:There were significant differences in mean systolic blood pressure and mean diastolic blood pressure at night among Group A,Group B and Group C(P<0.05).Age,hyperlipidemia and fasting blood glucose were risk factors for circadian rhythm abnormality(P<0.05),and 24-hour urinary sodium was a protective factor for circadian rhythm abnormality(P<0.05).Conclusion:Age,hyperlipidemia and fasting blood glucose are risk factors for circadian rhythm abnormality(P<0.05),and 24-hour urinary sodium is a protective factor for circadian rhythm abnormality(P<0.05).

文摘The influences of different factors,including whether the transverse frames are actually built,longitudinal and transverse welding residual stresses,and unloaded edge boundaries,on the ultimate strength and failure mode of a real hull bottom full-scale stiffened plate under axial compression and lateral pressure are investigated via numerical analysis.Result shows that the failure mode of the stiffened plate under axial compression is the tripping of the stiffeners.Whether transverse frames are built has little effect on the ultimate strength of the stiffened plate under axial compression,which can be replaced by the degree of freedom constraint.However,when lateral pressure is present,the transverse frame cannot be simply replaced by a free-degree constraint.The longitudinal residual stress has a greater effect on the ultimate strength,whereas the effect of the transverse residual stress is smaller.Stronger unloaded edge boundary conditions can slightly enhance the stiffness and ultimate strength of the stiffened plate.Under combined axial compression and lateral pressure,the failure mode of stiffened plates changes from the tripping of stiffeners to beam-column failure,as the lateral pressure increases.The ability of stiffened plates in which transverse frames are actually built out to resist beam-column shape deformation becomes weaker with lower ultimate strength.Stronger unloaded edge boundary conditions can improve the ability of stiffened plates to resist beam-column deformation and increase the ultimate strength.

文摘The interplay between electronic topological phase transitions and superconductivity in the field of condensed matter physics has consistently captivated researchers.Here we have succeeded in modulating the Lifshitz transition by pressure and realized superconductivity.At 25.7 GPa,superconductivity with a transition temperature of 1.9 K has been observed in 3R-NbS_(2).The Hall coefficient changes from negative to positive at 14 GPa,indicating a Lifshitz transition in 3R-NbS_(2),and the carrier concentration continues to increase with increasing pressure.X-ray diffraction results indicate that the appearance of superconductivity cannot be attributable to structural transitions.Based on theoretical calculations,the emergence of a new band is attributed to the Lifshitz transition and the new band coincides with the Fermi surface at the pressure of 30 GPa.These findings provide new insights into the relationship between the Lifshitz transition and superconductivity.

文摘The underwater anechoic coating technology,which considers pressure resistance and low-frequency broadband sound absorption,has become a research hotspot in underwater acoustics and has received wide attention to address the increasingly advanced low-frequency sonar detection technology and adapt to the working environment of underwater vehicles in deep submergence.One the one hand,controlling low-frequency sound waves in water is more challenging than in air.On the other hand,in addition to initiating structural deformation,hydrostatic pressure also changes material parameters,both of which have a major effect on the sound absorption performance of the anechoic coating.Therefore,resolving the pressure resistance and acoustic performance of underwater acoustic coatings is difficult.Particularly,a bottleneck problem that must be addressed in this field is the acoustic structure design with low-frequency broadband sound absorption under high hydrostatic pressure.Based on the influence of hydrostatic pressure on underwater anechoic coatings,the research status of underwater acoustic structures under hydrostatic pressure from the aspects of sound absorption mechanisms,analysis methods,and structural designs is reviewed in this paper.Finally,the challenges and research trends encountered by underwater anechoic coating technology under hydrostatic pressure are summarized,providing a reference for the design and research of low-frequency broadband anechoic coating.

文摘Lanthanide metal-organic frameworks(Ln-MOFs)have received extensive attention in the development of photoluminescent(PL)materials due to their stable structures and unique line-like emission spectroscopic properties.However,in order to prepare Ln-MOFs with high PL quantum yield(PLQY),further improving the sensitization efficiency of the“antenna effect”is essential.Herein,remarkably enhanced PL in[Tb_(2)(BDC)_(3)(DMF)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]_n MOF is successfully achieved via high-pressure engineering at room temperature.Notably,the PL intensity continues to increase as the pressure increases,reaching its peak at 12.0 GPa,which is 4.4 times that of the initial state.Detailed experimental and theoretical calculations have demonstrated that pressure engineering significantly narrows the bandgap of[Tb_(2)(BDC)_(3)(DMF)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]_n,optimizing both singlet and triplet energy levels.Ultimately,higher antenna effect sensitization efficiency is achieved by promoting intersystem crossing and energy transfer processes.Our work provides a promising strategy for the development of high PLQY Ln-MOFs.

文摘Oil and gas exploration studies have been increasingly moving deeper into the earth.The rocks in deep and ultra-deep reservoirs are exposed to a complex environment of high temperatures and large geo-stresses.The Tarim oilfield in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region(Xinjiang for short),China,has achieved a breakthrough in the exploration of deep hydrocarbon reservoirs at a depth of over 9000 m.The mechanical properties of deep rocks are significantly different from those of shallow rocks.In this study,triaxial compression tests were conducted on heat-treated carbonatite rocks to explore the evolution of the mechanical properties of carbonatite rocks under high confining pressure after thermal treatment.The rocks for the tests were collected from reservoirs in the Tarim oilfield,Xinjiang,China.The experiments were performed at confining pressures ranging from atmospheric to 120 MPa and temperatures ranging from25 to 500°C.The results show that the critical confining pressure of the brittle–ductile transition increases with increasing temperature.Young's modulus is negatively correlated with the temperature and positively correlated with the confining pressure.As the confining pressure increases,the failure mode of the specimens gradually transforms from shear fracture failure into“V”-type failure and finally into bulging failure(multiple shear fractures).With increasing temperature,the failure angle tends to decrease.In addition,an improved version of the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion with a temperature-dependent power function was proposed to describe the failure strength of carbonatite rocks after exposure to high temperature and high confining pressure.The surface of the strength envelope of this criterion is temperature dependent,which could reflect the strength evolution of rock under high confining pressures after thermal treatment.Compared with other strength criteria,this criterion is more capable of replicating physical processes.

文摘Using natural gas(NG)as the primary fuel helps alleviate the fossil fuel crisis while reducing engine soot and nitrogen oxide(NO_(X))emissions.In this paper,the influences of a novel split injection concept on an NG high pressure direct injection(HPDI)engine are examined.Four typical split injection strategies,namely split pre-injection of pilot diesel(PD)and NG,split post-injection of PD and NG,split pre-injection of NG,and split post-injection of PD,were developed to investigate the influences on combustion and emissions.Results revealed that split pre injection of NG enhanced the atomization of PD,whereas the split post-injection of NG lowered the temperature in the core region of the PD spray,resulting in the deterioration of combustion.The effect of the split injection strategy on indicated thermal efficiency exceeded 7.5%.Split pre-injection was favorable to enhancing thermal efficiency,whereas split post-injection was not.Ignition delay,combustion duration,and premixed combustion time proportion were affected by injection strategies by 3.8%,50%,and 19.7%,respectively.Split pre-injection increased CH_(4) emission in the exhaust.Split post-injection,especially split post-injection of PD and NG,reduced the unburned CH_(4) emission by approximately 30%.When the split post-injection ratio was less than 30%,the trade-off between NO_(X) and soot was interrupted.The distribution range of hydroxyl radicals was expanded by pre-injection,and NO_(X) was generated in the region where the NG jet hit the wall.This paper provides valuable insights into the optimization of HPDI injection parameters.

文摘The Zenith Hydrostatic Delay(ZHD)is essential for high-precision Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)and Very Long Baseline Interferometry(VLBI)data processing.Accurate estimation of ZHD relies on in situ atmospheric pressure,which is primarily variable in the vertical direction.Current atmospheric pressure is either site-specific or has limited spatial coverage,necessitating vertical corrections for broader applicability.This study introduces a model that uses a Gaussian function for the vertical correction of atmospheric pressure when in situ meteorological observations are unavailable.Validation with the fifth-generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis(ERA5)reveals an average Bias and RMS for the new model of 0.31 h Pa and 2.96 h Pa,respectively.This corresponds to improvements of 37.5%and 80.3%in terms of RMS compared to two commonly used models(T0and Tvmodels)that require in situ meteorological observations,respectively.Additional validation with radiosonde data shows an average Bias and RMS of 1.85 h Pa and 4.87 h Pa,corresponding to the improvement of 42.8%and 71.1%in RMS compared with T0and Tv models,respectively.These accuracies are sufficient for calculating ZHD to an accuracy of 1 mm by performing atmospheric pressure vertical correction.The new model can correct atmospheric pressure from meteorological stations or numerical weather forecasts to different heights of the troposphere.

文摘The rising flexible and intelligent electronics greatly facilitate the noninvasive and timely tracking of physiological information in telemedicine healthcare.Meticulously building bionic-sensitive moieties is vital for designing efficient electronic skin with advanced cognitive functionalities to pluralistically capture external stimuli.However,realistic mimesis,both in the skin’s three-dimensional interlocked hierarchical structures and synchronous encoding multistimuli information capacities,remains a challenging yet vital need for simplifying the design of flexible logic circuits.Herein,we construct an artificial epidermal device by in situ growing Cu_(3)(HHTP)_(2) particles onto the hollow spherical Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) surface,aiming to concurrently emulate the spinous and granular layers of the skin’s epidermis.The bionic Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)@Cu_(3)(HHTP)_(2) exhibits independent NO_(2) and pressure response,as well as novel functionalities such as acoustic signature perception and Morse code-encrypted message communication.Ultimately,a wearable alarming system with a mobile application terminal is self-developed by integrating the bimodular senor into flexible printed circuits.This system can assess risk factors related with asthmatic,such as stimulation of external NO_(2) gas,abnormal expiratory behavior and exertion degrees of fingers,achieving a recognition accuracy of 97.6%as assisted by a machine learning algorithm.Our work provides a feasible routine to develop intelligent multifunctional healthcare equipment for burgeoning transformative telemedicine diagnosis.

文摘(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3) is primarily located in the mantle and has a substantial impact on geophysical and geochemical processes.Here,we employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the structural and transport properties of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3) with varying iron contents at temperatures up to 5000 K and pressures up to 135 GPa.We thoroughly examine the effects of pressure,temperature,and iron content on the bond lengths,coordination numbers,viscosities,and electrical conductivities of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3).Our calculations indicate that the increase of pressure leads to the shortening of the O-O and Mg-O bond lengths,while the Si-O bond lengths exhibit the initial increase with pressure up to 40 GPa,after which they are almost unchanged.The coordination numbers of Si transition from four-fold to six-fold and eventually reach eight-fold coordination at 135 GPa.The enhanced pressure causes the decrease of the diffusion coefficients and the increase of the viscosities of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3).The increased temperatures slightly decrease the coordination numbers and viscosities,as well as obviously increase the diffusion coefficients and electrical conductivities of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3).Additionally,iron doping facilitates the diffusion of Si and O,reduces the viscosities,and enhances the electrical conductivities of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3).These findings advance fundamental understanding of the structural and transport properties of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3) under high temperature and high pressure,which provide novel insights for unraveling the complexities of geological processes within the Earth's mantle.

文摘Flexible,breathable,and highly sensitive pressure sensors have increasingly become a focal point of interest due to their pivotal role in healthcare monitoring,advanced electronic skin applications,and disease diagnosis.However,traditional methods,involving elastomer film-based substrates or encapsulation techniques,often fall short due to mechanical mismatches,discomfort,lack of breathability,and limitations in sensing abilities.Consequently,there is a pressing need,yet it remains a significant challenge to create pressure sensors that are not only highly breathable,flexible,and comfortable but also sensitive,durable,and biocompatible.Herein,we present a biocompatible and breathable fabric-based pressure sensor,using nonwoven fabrics as both the sensing electrode(coated with MXene/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate[PEDOT:PSS])and the interdigitated electrode(printed with MXene pattern)via a scalable spray-coating and screen-coating technique.The resultant device exhibits commendable air permeability,biocompatibility,and pressure sensing performance,including a remarkable sensitivity(754.5 kPa^(−1)),rapid response/recovery time(180/110 ms),and robust cycling stability.Furthermore,the integration of PEDOT:PSS plays a crucial role in protecting the MXene nanosheets from oxidation,significantly enhancing the device's long-term durability.These outstanding features make this sensor highly suitable for applications in fullrange human activities detection and disease diagnosis.Our study underscores the promising future of flexible pressure sensors in the realm of intelligent wearable electronics,setting a new benchmark for the industry.

文摘This paper aims to enhance the compression capacity of underwater cylindrical shells by adopting the corrugated sandwich structure of cuttlebone.The cuttlebone suffers uniaxial external compression,while underwater cylindrical shells are in a biaxial compressive stress state.To suit the biaxial compressive stress state,a novel bidirectional corrugated sandwich structure is proposed to improve the bearing capacity of cylindrical shells.The static and buckling analysis for the sandwich shell and the unstiffened cylindrical shell with the same volume-weight ratio are studied by numerical simulation.It is indicated that the proposed sandwich shell can effectively reduce the ratio between circumferential and axial stress from 2 to 1.25 and improve the critical buckling load by about 1.63 times.Numerical simulation shows that optimizing and adjusting the structural parameters could significantly improve the advantage of the sandwich shell.Then,the hydrostatic pressure tests for shell models fabricated by 3D printing are carried out.According to the experimental results,the overall failure position of the sandwich shell is at the center part of the sandwich shell.It has been found the average critical load of the proposed sandwich shell models exceeds two times that of the unstiffened shell models.Hence,the proposed bio-inspired bidirectional corrugated sandwich structure can significantly enhance the pressure resistance capability of cylindrical shells.
