流动诱导残余应力是塑料制品产生应力开裂以及翘曲变形等现象的重要原因,对成型过程中流动诱导残余应力研究具有重要意义.推导了基于黏弹性eXtended Pom-Pom本构关系的能量方程,进而建立了描述黏弹性流体非等温充模流动的气-液两相模型.用同位网格有限体积法进行了求解,得到了凝固层和剪切速率分布,给出了充填结束时影响制件力学性能的流动诱导残余应力.结果表明,型腔中凝固层的厚度与注射速率有关,注射速率越大,充模时间越短,凝固层越薄.在制品表层紧邻模壁的地方,剪切速率和残余应力几乎为零;在制品次表层的位置,制件内剪切速率和流动残余应力也较高;而在远离模壁的地方,剪切速率和流动残余应力也较小.     

SiC纤维增强Ti17合金复合材料轴向残余应力的拉曼光谱和X射线衍射法对比研究

准确测量和分析SiC纤维增强Ti合金复合材料(SiC_f/Ti)中残余应力状态对优化复合材料的成型工艺和理解其失效模式具有重要意义,但其残余应力的实验测量和分析仍是一个挑战.石墨C涂层作为SiC纤维与Ti17基体合金之间必需的扩散障涂层,承载了由纤维与基体之间热不匹配引入的残余应力.本文采用显微拉曼光谱法对比测量纤维表面C涂层在复合材料中和去掉基体无应力态下G峰的峰位,通过石墨C涂层应力态下峰位移动计算出SiCf/C/Ti17复合材料中SiC纤维受到～705.0 MPa的残余压应力.采用X射线衍射方法测量了不同方向上该复合材料中基体钛合金的晶面间距以获取其空间应变,根据三轴应力模型分析了复合材料中基体钛合金沿轴向方向的残余应力为～701.3 MPa的张应力,并通过线性弹性理论转化为SiC纤维的残余压应力为～759.4 MPa.两种测试方法都确定了SiC纤维在成型过程中受到残余压应力,且获得的应力值较为接近,都可以用于对SiC_f/Ti复合材料的残余应力测量.

单轴拉伸对Nafion结构及性能的影响

2H NMR和PFG-NMR用于研究拉伸过程中Nafion结构的改变以及对溶剂分子运动性质的影响.2H谱表明单轴拉伸Nafion膜在拉伸比率较低情况下(L5),通道排列取向程度随着拉伸比率变大而增大,同时扩散实验表明水分子的运动能力也得到增强,表明取向化的通道网络有助于增强材料取向方向质子的导电能力,可以用于提高质子膜材料性能.在取向达到最大值后(L≥5)继续拉伸,膜内水分子的移动能力相比略有降低.溶胀实验表明取向膜的溶胀行为呈各向异性,拉伸作用致使膜内通道沿拉伸方向取向排列,通道的取向效应使得其在垂直拉伸方向(Y)和膜厚度方向(Z)溶胀更为显著.拉伸Nafion膜对甲醇的吸附能力随着拉伸比率的增加而增强,同时甲醇的扩散数据显示,甲醇的运动能力在该通道网络中也随着拉伸比率的变大而不断增强,甲醇燃料在该类质子膜内的渗透效应得以增强,不利于其在直接甲醇燃料电池中的应用.     

Bi-directional dual-wavelength Brillouin lasing in a hybrid fiber ring cavity

In this paper, a novel Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) is proposed based on the hybrid fiber ring cavity composed of two types of fibers with different Brillouin shifts. Single mode fiber (SMF) and truewave fiber (TWF) are used in our experiments. Bi-directional dual-wavelength Brillouin lasing is achieved in the hybrid fiber ring cavity. The lasing lights along the two directions come from the Stokes waves generated in the two fibers, respectively, with different Brillouin shifts, however, they share the same fiber ring cavity. The BFL based on the hybrid fiber ring cavity provides a simple possible way to realize Brillouin fiber optical gyroscopes (BFOGs) without lock-in effect.     

Effects of Thermal History in the Fiber Production on Preferential Orientations of Molecular Planes of Rigid-Rod Polymers along the Radial Direction Normal to the Fiber Axis

The research described in this article was primarily concerned with the preferential orientations of crystal planes along the radial direction normal to the fiber axis, using fibers of poly-p-phenylenebenzobisoxasole as an example. The focus is placed on the formation of the preferential orientation during the dry-jet wet spinning fiber production process for rigid-rod polymers in which, after coagulation, the fibers are washed and dried at low temperatures. It is suggested that the formation of the radial or random preferential orientation was determined in the coagulation and washing processes, based on an analysis of micro-focus X-ray diffraction intensities in a synchrotron radiation facility.     

Simultaneous measurement of whole in-plane displacement using phase-shifting ESPI

A novel method for simultaneously measuring whole field in-plane displacements by using optical fiber phase-shifting electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) is presented in this paper. A 1 × 4 single mode optical fiber beamsplitter is employed to split the laser beam into four beams of equal intensity. One pair of fibers is utilized to illuminate the diffuse target at equal angles in the horizontal plane so it is sensitive only to horizontal in-plane displacement. Another pair of optical fibers is set to be sensitive only to vertical in-plane displacement. The polarization directions of light emitted by fibers are the same for each pair, but are at a right angle between pairs. The optical fibers are equal in length for each pair, but are not equal between two pairs. In this case the speckles are interference between each pair of fibers, thus the horizontal and vertical displacement components can be obtained simultaneously. By means of a fiber phase shift technique we can obtain the quantitative data of whole field displacements. This method has made it possible to study the in-plane displacement of a thin metal plate, and the examples of the results are shown to demonstrate the novel method.     

Novel Fine Structures in Poly-p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole Fibers Induced by Water Vapor,Hot Water,and Non-Aqueous Coagulation I Molecular Orientation Along the Fiber Axis and Fine Structures

This article is concerned with describing novel structural features of the water vapor coagulated Poly-p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole fiber in comparison with other PBO fibers made with hot liquid water and non-aqueous coagulation. Micro-focus X-ray diffraction was adopted to see the skin-core difference of molecular orientation and crystal size along the fiber-radius direction. Low temperature differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed to elucidate the structural features of never-dried fibers made with the different coagulation techniques. Comparison of micro-focus X-ray diffraction profiles from the different positions on the fiber suggests less anisotropy of preferential orientation for the water vapor coagulated fiber. The fiber made through water vapor coagulation showed a large skin-core difference in molecular orientation with structural inhomogeneity along the fiber axis.     

A simplified holography based superresolution system

In this paper we are proposing a simple idea based on holography to achieve superresolution. The object is illuminated by three fibers which maintain the mutual coherence between the light waves. The object in-plane rotation along with fiber-based illumination is used to achieve superresolution. The object in a 4f optical system is illuminated by an on-axis fiber to make the central part of the object׳s spectrum to the pass through the limiting square-aperture placed at the Fourier plane and the corresponding hologram of the image is recorded at the image plane. The on-axis fiber is switched off and the two off axis fibers (one positioned on the vertical axis and the other positioned on diagonal) are switched on one by one for each orientation of the object position. Four orientations of object in-plane rotation are used differing in angle by 90°. This will allow the recording of eight holographic images in addition to the one recorded with on-axis fiber. The three fibers are at the vertices of a right angled isosceles triangle and are aligned toward the centre of the lens following the fiber plane to generate plane waves for object illumination. The nine holographic images are processed for construction of object׳s original spectrum, the inverse of which gives the super-resolved image of the original object. Mathematical modeling and simulations are reported.     

Study of aerodynamic structure of flow in a model of vortex furnace using Stereo PIV method

The aerodynamic structure of flow in a lab model of a perspective design of vortex furnace was studied. The chamber has a horizontal rotation axis, tangential inlet for fuel-air jets and vertical orientation of secondary injection nozzles. The Stereo PIV method was used for visualization of 3D velocity field for selected cross sections of the vortex combustion chamber. The experimental data along with “total pressure minimum” criterion were used for reconstruction of the vortex core of the flow. Results fit the available data from LDA and simulation.
