Research on the sound absorption performance of metal rubber material

The sound absorption performance of Metal Rubber material was studied theoretically and experimentally. The acoustic impedance rate and the sound absorption coefficient were derived based on the acoustic parameters of metal rubber material. The relation of structure constant, compressibility modulus and structural parameters was investigated experimentally. The results showed that the specimen of metal rubber with the same mean porosity diameter had the same structure constant. For the same structural parameters, the compressibility modulus of metal rubber material was approximately constant in certain frequency range. The calculated acoustic parameters are in good agreement with the experimental results, demonstrating the effectiveness of theoretical models.

Using the system function to analyze the performance of transducer’s impedance measurement method

Prom investigation of the advantages and disadvantages of conventional tri-voltage method,a method for the measurement of the transmitting transducer’s impedance was presented to solve the difficult problem of examining the consistency of the transmitting phased array on the single-mode excitation sea spot.In the method based on the system function, the circuit structure of tri-voltage method was used but new parameters were measured.The principle of the method was given first.Then when resistors with different nominal values were used in the circuit,the measured results for the impedance of transducers were reported.The results were compared with the higher precision impedance analyzer.Finally,the error analysis was performed according to the impedance formula and the equivalent circuit parameters were fitted.Under the condition of guaranteeing the sampling precision,by performance analyzing, the resistor value in series was chosen relatively smaller than the impedance of transducer,the measurement of impedance could achieve the same precision as the higher precision impedance analyzer.Finally,the least squares curve-fitting of measured curves indicated that the transducer equivalent electrical parameters could be extracted accurately and used to design the matching network.

Mini-LIA is a miniature of a linear induction accelerator developed by China Academy of Engineering Physics and Tsinghua University in 2007. It has been constructed with a thermionic cathode in an electron injector and a metglas core in the induction accelerator cavities. A double-pulsed electron beam was produced for the first time in China on the Mini-LIA with a thermionic cathode in the electron gun and a metglas core in the induction accelerator cavities. A double-pulsed beam current of more than 1.1 A was obtained on condition of 80 k V double-pulsed high voltage produced by pulsed power system supplying to the injector and accelerating modules.

自能函数和夸克的动力学质量(英文)

研究夸克的质量是QCD研究中的一个非常重要问题。因为, 夸克质量是标准模型的基本输入参数, 准确地确定这些参数无论对于唯象的应用还是对于理论的应用都是极其重要的。基于参数化的完全穿衣服的夸克传播子, 研究了自能函数和夸克的动力学质量。理论预言了夸克质量和自能函数, 其结果与文献中的经验值相符合, 也与Dyson Schwinger方程解一致。反过来这也说明了参数化的夸克传播子是成功和可靠的。Study of mass of quark is one of the most important issues in the investigation of QCD. Because masses of quarks are fundamental QCD input parameters of standard Model, and an accurate determination of these parameters is extremely important for both phenomenological and theoretical applications. Based on the parameterized fully dressed quark propagator proposed by us, the theoretical predictions of the masses of quarks are predicted in this short note. The effective quark mass is defined by the scalar self energy function Bf(p2) and vector self energy function Af(p2). The results of our calculations are in agreement with the empirical values used widely in literature and also show that the parameterized form of quark propagator is an applicable and reliable approximation.     

用于测量ICF靶丸内氚活度的电离室的设计

设计了一种可测量ICF靶内氚含量的圆柱电离室。密封部件的设计抛弃了传统的橡胶密封而采用全金属密封, 以消除橡胶、 塑料对氚的强吸附性产生的电离室污染。为防止氚扩散污染电离室的内壁, 内壁镀上一层2 μm的Au膜。在中心电极和外电极间引入保护电极以降低低水平放射性测量时的电极漏电流。保护电极和中心电极间的绝缘材料, 以及保护电极和外电极间的绝缘材料分别选择绝缘性好、 耐高温的蓝宝石和Al2O3陶瓷。另外, 基于对ICF靶参数测量的特殊要求, 在电离室中设计了一个压碎靶丸释放氚的装置。最后, 通过物理建模和复合损失计算, 得到了优化的电离室参数。A cylindrical ionization chamber was designed for the measurement of the tritium at the level enclosed in inertial confinement fusion(ICF) targets. In stead of the conventional rubber seals, the metallic seals was adopted to reduce the chamber contamination caused by the strong tritium absorption of rubber and plastics. A 2 μm thick Au layer was plated on the inner wall of the chamber to avoid the contamination due to tritium diffusion in the chamber. The protective electrode was introduced to reduce the leakage current when measuring the low level radioactivity. Sapphire was employed as an insulator between the protective electrode and central electrode, while Al2O3 ceramic was used in between the protective electrode and the external electrode. In addition, to meet the specific requirements on the measurement of ICF targets’ parameters, a component used to crash the target to release tritium was designed in the chamber. Finally, the optimal chamber parameters were obtained in terms of physics modeling and combination loss computation.     

A STUDY ON THE ULTRASONIC VELOCITY AND ATTENU-ATION IN NdFeB MAGNET WITHIN THE TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 80 - 300K (Ⅱ)

Based on the ultrasonic measurements of an isotropic NdFeB magnet in the temperature range of 77 - 300 K, it was found that the elastic parameters, such as Young's modulus E, and Poisson ratio v, change abruptly near the spin reorientation temperature Tsr. This indicates that soft mode emerges in the process of spin reorientation. Thermal hysteresis was observed during heating-up and cooling-down processes. Both Debye temperature and heat capacity were calculated, which suggests that the magnetic entropy of the Nd-sublattice is larger in easy-cone state than in easy-axis state.     

Multi-step geoacoustic inversion with a towed line array

Geoacoustic inversion is important for acoustic field predictions and matched field localizations in shallow water.Combing the Matched-field inversion(MFI) and the Reflectionloss inversion,a multi-step Bayesian inversion for geoacoustic parameters was presented.This method applied the posterior probability density(PPD) or inversion results from one inversion as prior information for subsequent inversion.First,the sensitive parameters were determined by the MFI.Second,the insensitive parameters were determined by the Reflection-loss inversion based on the PPD and inversion results from the MFI.The PPD results indicated that the multi-step inversion method was performed better than direct matched-field inversion,and the inversion results of some parameters were improved significantly.To demonstrate the advantages of the multi-step inversion method on the sound field prediction,the statistical properties of transmission loss based on the posterior probability were introduced.The transmission loss distribution showed that the predicted acoustic fields based on the multi-step inversion method had smaller errors.     

Sensing of ultrasonic fields based on polarization parametric indirect microscopic imaging

This Letter tackles the issue of non-contact detection of ultrasonic fields by utilizing a novel optical method based on the parametric indirect microscopic imaging(PIMI) technique. A general theoretical model describing the three-dimensional anisotropic photoelastic effect in solid was developed. The mechanism of polarization status variations of light passing through the stress and strain fields was analyzed. Non-contact measurements of the ultrasonic field propagating in an isotropic quartz glass have been fulfilled by the PIMI technique under different ultrasonic excitation conditions. PIMI parameters such as sin δ, Φ, and the Stokes parameters have been found to be sensitive to ultrasonic fields.

DISPERSION OF WAVES IN IMMERSED LAMINATED COMPOSITE HOLLOW CYLINDERS

A layer element method (LEM) is presented for analyzing frequency and group velocity dispersive behaviours of waves in a laminated composite cylinder surrounded by a fluid. The LEM applies finite elements to model the radial displacement of the cylinder and the radial pressure of the fluid, and complex exponentials to express the axial and circumferential displacements of the cylinder as well as the axial and tangential pressures of the fluid. The dispersive equation for the fluid-loaded cylinder follows from variational techniques. The frequency and group velocity dispersive relationships of the fluid-coupling cylinder are obtained by means of the Rayleigh quotient. Numerical results are given for hybrid laminated composite cylinders and cylindrical shells submerged in water. The addition of the fluid is proven to have considerable impact on the group velocity spectra of waves in laminated composite cylinders.     

Scaling laws of nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities in two and three dimensions

The late-time nonlinear evolution of the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instabilities for random initial perturbations is investigated using a statistical mechanics model based on single-mode and bubble-competition physics at all Atwood numbers ( A ) and full numerical simulations in two and three dimensions. It is shown that the RT mixing zone bubble and spike fronts evolve as h∼α·A·gt² with different values of α for the bubble and spike fronts. The RM mixing zone fronts evolve as h∼t^θ with different values of θ for bubbles and spikes. Similar analysis yields a linear growth with time of the Kelvin–Helmholtz mixing zone. The dependence of the RT and RM scaling parameters on A and the dimensionality will be discussed. The 3D predictions are found to be in good agreement with recent Linear Electric Motor (LEM) experiments.     

On the use of Hillerborg regularization method to model the softening behaviour of concrete subjected to dynamic tensile loading

Dynamic tensile tests based on the so-called spalling technique may be conducted to characterize the tensile strength and the cracking density of concretes under strain-rates in the range of 30/s to 150/s. Based on this technique, a series of experiments have been performed in LEM3 laboratory by using an instrumentation including a laser interferometer directed toward the rear face of the sample and strain-gauges on the specimen. In the present work, a series of computations of spalling tests have been conducted with the Mazars damage model. First, the loading-rate sensitivity has been identified from spalling tests to take account in the modelling of the increase of strength with strain-rate. Next, a series of numerical simulations have been performed considering various mesh sizes and by using or not the Hillerborg regularization method. Finally the ability of the Mazars model for predicting the post-peak behaviour of concrete in spalling tests has been assessed by comparing the numerous experimental measurements to numerical data.     

Solutions to Buoyancy-Drag Equation for Dynamical Evolution of Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov Mixing Zone

With a self-similar parameter b( A_t ) = H_i /λa_i, where A_t is the Atwood number, H_i andλ_i are the amplitude and wavelength of bubble (i = 1) and spike (i =
2) respectively, we derive analytically the solutionsto the Buoyancy-Drag equation recently proposed for dynamical evolution of Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov mixing zone.Numerical solutions are obtained with a simple form of b(A_t ) = 1/(1 + A_t ) and comparisons with recent LEM (linear electric motor) experiments are made, and an agreement is found with properly chosen initial conditions.     

Subgrid combustion modeling of 3-D premixed flames in the thin-reaction-zone regime

Large eddy simulation (LES) is used to investigate three-dimensional (3D) lean premixed turbulent methane–air flames in the thin-reaction-zone regime. In this regime, the Kolmogorov scale is smaller than the preheat zone thickness, but larger than the reaction zone thickness. Past numerical studies of similar flames were primarily direct numerical simulation either in two-dimensions or using the artificially thickened flame approach in 3D. For an LES the effect of small (unresolved) scales on the scalar field must be, modeled accurately to capture the correct flame structure. A subgrid combustion model based on the linear-eddy-mixing (LEM) model is used within an LES framework (called LEM–LES hereafter) to capture the 3D flame-structure of the highly stretched premixed flames. A finite-rate, one-step methane–air chemistry with a non-unity Lewis number formulation is used in this study. The simulated flame structure resembles flames experimentally studied in the thin-reaction-zone regime. Even though the preheat zone is broadened by the penetration of small eddies, the chemical reaction zone remains thin and localized. This feature is captured properly in the current LEM–LES approach. The flame structure and other statistics such as the flame area evolution, curvature, and strain-rate statistics computed using the LEM–LES are also in good agreement with the past DNS studies.     

Upgrading the PSI Muon Facility

A new project was initiated at PSI to replace the existing μE4 decay channel with a new beam line delivering surface/cloud beams of highest luminosities. This goal will be accomplished by installing a solenoidal lens system at the main production target E and then transporting the muons with conventional beamline elements of very big apertures to a greatly enlarged experimental floor. Several slit systems and an electrostatic separator will be available to control the beam shape and reduce the electrons and other background. Particle fluxes up to 5 × 10⁸ μ⁺/s and 10⁷ μ⁻/s can be expected at 28 MeV/c beam momentum, using the 600 MeV primary proton beam of 1.7 mA. The operation of the channel will be limited to a maximum momentum of 40 MeV/c. The beam line has been specially designed to provide highest flux to the ultra-slow μ⁺ beam (LEM). This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Large eddy simulation of the low temperature ignition and combustion processes on spray flame with the linear eddy model

Large eddy simulation coupled with the linear eddy model (LEM) is employed for the simulation of n-heptane spray flames to investigate the low temperature ignition and combustion process in a constant-volume combustion vessel under diesel-engine relevant conditions. Parametric studies are performed to give a comprehensive understanding of the ignition processes. The non-reacting case is firstly carried out to validate the present model by comparing the predicted results with the experimental data from the Engine Combustion Network (ECN). Good agreements are observed in terms of liquid and vapour penetration length, as well as the mixture fraction distributions at different times and different axial locations. For the reacting cases, the flame index was introduced to distinguish between the premixed and non-premixed combustion. A reaction region (RR) parameter is used to investigate the ignition and combustion characteristics, and to distinguish the different combustion stages. Results show that the two-stage combustion process can be identified in spray flames, and different ignition positions in the mixture fraction versus RR space are well described at low and high initial ambient temperatures. At an initial condition of 850 K, the first-stage ignition is initiated at the fuel-lean region, followed by the reactions in fuel-rich regions. Then high-temperature reaction occurs mainly at the places with mixture concentration around stoichiometric mixture fraction. While at an initial temperature of 1000 K, the first-stage ignition occurs at the fuel-rich region first, then it moves towards fuel-richer region. Afterwards, the high-temperature reactions move back to the stoichiometric mixture fraction region. For all of the initial temperatures considered, high-temperature ignition kernels are initiated at the regions richer than stoichiometric mixture fraction. By increasing the initial ambient temperature, the high-temperature ignition kernels move towards richer mixture regions. And after the spray flames gets quasi-steady, most heat is released at the stoichiometric mixture fraction regions. In addition, combustion mode analysis based on key intermediate species illustrates three-mode combustion processes in diesel spray flames.     

Dependence of the magnetic and magnetoelastic properties of cobalt ferrite on processing parameters

The dependence of the magnetic and magnetoelastic properties of highly magnetostrictive cobalt ferrite on processing parameters has been investigated. The cobalt ferrite samples used in this study were prepared via conventional ceramic processing methods. The processing parameters of interest were sintering temperature, holding time at the sintering temperature and powder compaction pressure. It was observed that the crystal structure, composition and saturation magnetization of the samples studied did not vary with changes in processing parameters but coercive field decreased with increasing sintering temperature. The amplitude of peak to peak magnetostriction was dependent on the holding time and powder compaction pressure. The strain derivative on the other hand was found to depend on powder compaction pressure at any given sintering temperature or holding time. The results show how the magnetoelastic properties of cobalt ferrite can be varied by changing the processing parameters.
