骨陷窝-骨细胞形状和方向对骨单元内液体流动行为的影响

骨组织内的流体流动不仅为骨细胞的生存提供了充足营养供应及代谢物排放途径,也在骨重建过程中起到关键作用. 为了更精确地阐明骨内液体流动的具体形式,这项研究利用骨陷窝-骨细胞的密度,形态和方向等参数来计算骨单元内液体的流动行为. 首先,计算出不同形状和方向的骨陷窝周围骨小管的数量及分布情况,其次利用算出的参数以及骨组织其他微结构数据来估计骨组织的渗透率和孔隙率等参数,最后根据计算所得的参数建立骨单元的多孔弹性力学有限元模型,并分析了在轴向位移载荷作用下骨陷窝形状和方向对骨单元内液体渗流行为的影响. 结果表明,在所研究的参数范围内不同骨单元模型的相同区域上,骨陷窝形状影响下的骨单元最大压力和流速比最小的分别增加了86%和18%;骨陷窝方向影响下的最大压力和流速比最小的分别增加了125%和56%. 伸长形骨陷窝对单个骨单元局部压力的影响远大于扁平形和圆形骨陷窝. 骨陷窝从0°绕$x$轴旋转到90°过程中压力是逐渐降低的,且30°,45°和60°的模型对骨单元内局部流速有显著影响. 该模型表示骨陷窝的形状和方向以及骨小管的三维分布对骨单元内液体压力和流速幅值及沿不同方向的流动差异有显著的影响. 这项研究将有助于精确量化描述骨内液体的流体行为.

VISCOELASTICITY AND POROELASTICITY IN ELASTOMERIC GELS

An elastomeric gel is a mixture of a polymer network and a solvent.In response to changes in mechanical forces and in the chemical potential of the solvent in the environment,the gel evolves by two concurrent molecular processes:the conformational change of the network,and the migration of the solvent.The two processes result in viscoelasticity and poroelasticity,and are characterized by two material-specific properties:the time of viscoelastic relaxation and the effective diffusivity of the solvent through the network.The two properties define a materialspecific length.The material-specific time and length enable us to discuss macroscopic observations made over different lengths and times,and identify limiting conditions in which viscoelastic and poroelastic relaxations have either completed or yet started.We formulate a model of homogeneous deformation,and use several examples to illustrate viscoelasticity-limited solvent migration,where the migration of the solvent is pronounced,but the size of the gel is so small that the rate of change is limited by viscoelasticity.We further describe a theory that evolves a gel through inhomogeneous states.Both infinitesimal and finite deformation are considered.     

Bag breakup of nonturbulent liquid jets in crossflow

An experimental investigation of the bag breakup of round nonturbulent liquid jets in gaseous crossflow at room temperature and pressure is described. Pulsed photography, pulsed shadowgraphy, and high-speed imaging were used to observe the column and surface waves along the liquid jet and the formation and breakup of bags. Measurements included: wavelengths of column and surface waves, jet velocities, the number of bags along the liquid jet, the number of nodes per bag, droplets sizes and velocities, and trajectories of droplets. Present results show that the column waves of a nonturbulent liquid jet in crossflow within bag breakup regime can be explained based on Rayleigh–Taylor instability. The number of nodes per bag affected the breakup mechanism of the bags. Three distinctive sizes of droplets were produced due the breakup of the bag membrane, the ring strings and the ring nodes. The size of the droplets resulting from the breakup of the bag membrane was constant independent of the crossflow Weber number. Finally different trajectories were observed for the three groups of droplets.     

Non-linear in-plane buckling of rotationally restrained shallow arches under a central concentrated load

This paper investigates the non-linear in-plane buckling of pin-ended shallow circular arches with elastic end rotational restraints under a central concentrated load. A virtual work method is used to establish both the non-linear equilibrium equations and the buckling equilibrium equations. Analytical solutions for the non-linear in-plane symmetric snap-through and antisymmetric bifurcation buckling loads are obtained. It is found that the effects of the stiffness of the end rotational restraints on the buckling loads, and on the buckling and postbuckling behaviour of arches, are significant. The buckling loads increase with an increase of the stiffness of the rotational restraints. The values of the arch slenderness that delineate its snap-through and bifurcation buckling modes, and that define the conditions of buckling and of no buckling for the arch, increase with an increase of the stiffness of the rotational end restraints.

An algorithm has been developed for the analysis of asperities of various types of machined surfaces, in order to characterize wear processes in the course of dry friction. Wear experiments and surface roughness measurements were performed to study the microtopographies of worn surfaces. Investigations extended to wear in the case of the non-lubricated ceramic-steel clutch and lubricated camshaft and bushing. A statistical analysis of asperities and scratches was completed with distribution curves to display the results. The peak angle, the rate of the major and minor axis and orientation were analyzed to characterize the shape of asperities and the overall characteristics of the surface.     

SURFACE STRESS EFFECT IN MECHANICS OF NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS

This review article summarizes the advances in the surface stress effect in mechanics of nanostructured elements,including nanoparticles,nanowires,nanobeams,and nanofilms,and heterogeneous materials containing nanoscale inhomogeneities.It begins with the fundamental formulations of surface mechanics of solids,including the definition of surface stress as a surface excess quantity,the surface constitutive relations,and the surface equilibrium equations.Then,it depicts some theoretical and experimental studies of the mechanical properties of nanostructured elements,as well as the static and dynamic behaviour of cantilever sensors caused by the surface stress which is influenced by adsorption.Afterwards,the article gives a summary of the analytical elasto-static and dynamic solutions of a single as well as multiple inhomogeneities embedded in a matrix with the interface stress prevailing.The effect of surface elasticity on the diffraction of elastic waves is elucidated.Due to the difficulties in the analytical solution of inhomogeneities of complex shapes and configurations,finite element approaches have been developed for heterogeneous materials with the surface stress.Surface stress and surface energy are inherently related to crack propagation and the stress field in the vicinity of crack tips.The solutions of crack problems taking into account surface stress effects are also included.Predicting the effective elastic and plastic responses of heterogeneous materials while taking into account surface and interface stresses has received much attention.The advances in this topic are inevitably delineated.Mechanics of rough surfaces appears to deserve special attention due to its theoretical and practical implications.Some most recent work is reviewed.Finally,some challenges are pointed out.They include the characterization of surfaces and interfaces of real nanomaterials,experimental measurements and verification of mechanical parameters of complex surfaces,and the effects of the physical and chemical processes on the surface properties,etc.     

基于分子动力学的氧化石墨烯拉伸断裂行为与力学性能研究

与石墨烯相比,氧化石墨烯(graphene oxide, GO)的亲水性、分散性和反应活性更好,更易于作为增强材料而研发生成性能超常的复合材料,但另一方面,由于其电子结构较为复杂,致使目前有关力学方面的研究存在一定差异.本文利用分子动力学方法,建立了羟基、羧基和环氧基等官能团随机分布的GO原子模型;通过单向拉伸模拟,分析了其断裂行为,结果表明,远离羟基和羧基的环氧基对断裂具有"诱导"作用,并从化学成键、体系能量和应力分布三个角度对其机理进行了阐释;此外,进一步研究了拉伸应力$\!$-$\!$-$\!$应变曲线、极限强度、极限应变等力学性能与含氧官能团覆盖度间的关系,结果表明,极限强度、极限应变均随含氧官能团覆盖度的增大而呈减小趋势.分析认为,主要原因是官能团的出现对石墨烯面内的sp$^{2}$杂化形式造成了破坏,进而使得原子间键合能弱化,随着含氧官能团的覆盖度的增大,被弱化的键合能的数量和程度将越大,从而使得GO的极限强度、极限应变等越低. 研究结果可为GO的基础研究和工程应用提供参考.      

The electrohydrodynamics of superimposed fluids subjected to a nonuniform transverse electric field

This study aims to investigate electrohydrodynamics of two superimposed fluids that are confined between a pair of two-dimensional flat plates and are exposed to a sinusoidal electric field in zero gravity. The goal is to identify the parameters that affect the flow structure and interface deformation using a simple closed form solution. The governing electrohydrodynamic equations are solved analytically for Newtonian and immiscible fluids in the framework of leaky-dielectric theory and in the limit of small electric field and fluid inertia. A detailed analysis of the electric and flow fields is presented and it is shown that the electric field induces sinusoidal electrical stresses at the interface, which lead to periodic convection cells. The parameters affecting the sense of flow circulation and strength are investigated and it is shown that the former depends on the relative magnitude of the electric permittivity and conductivity ratios while the latter is controlled by the relative thicknesses of the fluid layers and the ratio of the electric conductivities and viscosities of the fluids. The maximum flow strength is achieved at a relative thickness that is set by the competition between the electric and hydrodynamic effects. For small deformation, the distortion of the interface is examined using a normal stress balance at the interface, and it is shown that the degree of interface deformation scales with the square of the amplitude of the electric potential nonuniformity, while its wavenumber is twice that of the imposed potential nonuniformity. Furthermore, a zero-deformation curve is found, which delineates the region in the permittivity-conductivity space according to the sense of interface deformation. The results show that for certain ranges of fluid layer thicknesses and permittivity ratios, the interface will remain flat, despite the action of the nonuiform field.     

Macroscale Properties of Porous Media from a Network Model of Biofilm Processes

We demonstrate how a network model can predict porosity and permeability changes in a porous medium as a result of biofilm buildup in the pore spaces. A biofilm consists of bacteria and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) bonded together and attached to a surface. In this case, the surface consists of the walls of the porous medium, which we model as a random network of pipes.Our model contains five species. Four of these are bacteria and EPS in both fluid and adsorbed phases. The fifth species is nutrient, which we assume to reside in the fluid phase only. Bacteria and EPS transfer between the adsorbed and fluid phases through adsorption and erosion or sloughing. The adsorbed species influence the effective radii of the pipes in the network, which affect the porosity and permeability.We develop a technique for integrating the coupled system of ordinary and partial differential equations that govern transport of these species in the network. We examine ensemble averages of simulations using different arrays of pipe radii having identical statistics. These averages show how different rate parameters in the biofilm transport processes affect the concentration and permeability profiles.     

Whirling frequencies and amplitudes due to deviations of generator shape

Earlier measurements in large synchronous generators indicate the existence of backward whirling motion, and also relatively large deviations of shape in both the rotor and the stator. These non-symmetric geometries produce an attraction force between the rotor and the stator, called unbalanced magnetic pull (UMP). The target of this paper is to analyse the whirling frequencies and amplitude of the response for large synchronous generators with a high number of poles, due to deviations of shape in the rotor and stator. A mathematical model is developed to describe the shapes of the rotor and stator, and the corresponding UMP is obtained by using the law of energy conservation. The UMP is analysed due to different deviations of shape. The result gives the average angular frequency and the magnitude of the UMP for certain deviations of shape. From this result, the whirling frequency and the amplitude of the corresponding response can be approximated. Simulations of the response of a Jeffcott rotor model show good agreement with the theoretical results of the UMP for some generator geometries. The conclusion is that different whirling frequencies, both backward and forward whirling, can occur in these machines due to deviations in shape of the generator. Therefore, the shape of the generator can excite resonance vibrations on several other frequencies than the rotation frequency. During maintenance of hydropower generators the shapes of the rotor and stator are frequently measured. The results from this paper can be used to evaluate such measurements and to explain the existence of complicated whirling motion.     

Exact Averaging of Stochastic Equations for Transport in Random Velocity Field

We present new examples of exactly averaged multi-dimensional equation of transport of a conservative solute in a time-dependent random flow velocity field. The functional approach and a technique for decoupling the correlations are used. In general, the averaged equation is non-local. We study the special cases where the averaged equation can be localized and reduced to a differential equation of finite-order, where the problem of evolution of the initial plume (Cauchy problem) can be solved exactly. We present in detail the results of the analyses of two cases of exactly averaged problems for Gaussian and telegraph random velocity with an identical exponential correlation function, which are informative and convenient models for continuous and discontinuous random functions. The problems in which the field has sources of solute and boundaries are also examined. We study the behavior of different initial plumes for all times (evolutions and convergence) and show the manner in which they approach the same asymptotic limit for two stochastic distributions of flow-velocity. A comparison between exact solutions and solutions derived by the method of perturbation is also discussed.

纳米流体液滴撞击固体壁面的铺展动力学特性是基于液滴沉积实现高效传热传质过程的关键因素,然而由于纳米流体的非牛顿流变特性及液滴内微流动与纳米颗粒的耦合作用,目前对纳米流体液滴撞击固体壁面的铺展动力学行为缺乏足够的认识.本研究利用了两步法分别配制了分散有3种纳米颗粒的均匀稳定纳米流体(碳纳米管、石墨烯、纳米石墨粉),并对流体的流变特性进行了测量分析.利用显微高速数码摄像技术捕捉了液滴撞击固体壁面的动态过程,通过图像处理技术分析铺展过程中液滴的无量纲高度、铺展因子及动态接触角,探究了液滴在韦伯数约为200及800时撞击壁面后铺展沉积形态的演变规律.研究表明,3种不同纳米颗粒的加入均使基液表现出明显的剪切变稀特性,在液滴撞击壁面的铺展过程中,流体的剪切黏度起重要作用,液滴的无量纲高度和铺展因子的变化幅度随着纳米流体剪切黏度的增大而减小.纳米流体液滴撞击疏水表面时能更快的达到平衡状态,液滴的惯性力主导着液滴的初始铺展阶段,液滴的铺展范围和速度随撞击速度的增大而增大.开展该研究能够为基于液滴沉积的增益冷却技术以及微型高导热及导电材料的制造提供理论依据和技术指导.
