椭圆接触弹流润滑气穴现象的实验观察

采用多光束干涉测量技术对椭圆滚子-玻璃盘形成的椭圆接触气穴现象进行了实验观察.实验在传统光弹流实验机上进行,只研究了纯滑动的情形.结果表明:气穴形状及其发展过程依赖于椭圆接触区短轴与卷吸方向之间的夹角.在一定的载荷-速度条件下,出现片状气穴区；载荷一定时,椭圆接触区短轴与卷吸方向之间的夹角越大,形成片状气穴区需要的速度越高.卷吸速度增大,气穴区向接触中心靠近；载荷增大,气穴区远离接触中心.椭圆接触区短轴与卷吸方向之间的夹角越大,气穴区越是远离接触中心,且气穴区位置受速度影响越显著.     

两表面速度均为任意方向的非牛顿椭圆接触等温弹流润滑分析

提出了一种简单易行的方法用于进行两表面速度均为任意方向的等温点接触弹流润滑分析;建立了等温非牛顿椭圆接触弹流润滑的数学模型,综合考虑了两表面速度同向、反向及不共线且与椭圆短轴成一定角度的工况,并得到了两表面速度均为任意方向的等温数值解.结果表明:随着两表面速度方向的改变,合卷吸速度的方向不断变化,接触椭圆在计算域内的倾斜角度也随之改变;由于接触椭圆与坐标轴成一定角度,油膜的压力和膜厚不再与Y=0平面对称,Y=0平面内第二压力峰和油膜颈缩出现在出口区,而在X=0平面内第二压力峰和油膜颈缩出现在入口区.     

一类反常弹流油膜出现的实验研究

采用光干涉法对球-圆盘和椭圆滚子-圆盘形成弹流油膜的凹陷现象进行研究.结果表明:凹陷只存在于一定的速度范围内,并受到载荷、卷吸方向及运动条件的影响;在速度-载荷关系曲线上,凹陷出现区域为一开放的三角形;润滑油的极限剪应力特性及其诱发的界面滑移为凹陷产生的原因.     

摆动工况下有限长线接触弹流的实验研究

针对对数型凸度滚子,在自制的滚子接触光弹流试验装置上开展了摆动工况弹流的实验研究.在2种不同摆动频率下,测量了弹流润滑油膜厚度和形状.结果表明:在一定载荷范围内,对数凸型滚子弹流润滑状态下的油膜厚度沿轴向呈均匀分布.摆动工况下润滑油膜的变化受到楔形效应和挤压效应的共同作用;低频时卷吸速度变化较小,以挤压效应为主;高频时卷吸速度变化较大,楔形效应增强.在卷吸速度为零时,油膜被封入接触区内,高频时形成的凹陷更为明显.     

定量供油下近接触区油池形态试验观察

采用球-盘点接触光干涉润滑油膜测量装置,观察了纯滚条件下近接触区油池形态随供油量和卷吸速度的变化过程. 结果表明,油池在低速、中速和高速下分别呈现出闭合态、半开放态和分离态3种状态. 闭合态油池内气穴长度随卷吸速度增加而增加,且存在使尾部油池分离的临界速度. 气穴区表面张力作用使气穴长度预测值和测量值出现差别;卷吸作用和压差作用是油池变形的原因;供油量和卷吸速度决定了润滑剂的供-失平衡态,影响了油池侧宽的变化趋势.      

高压条件下界面滑移长度的定量测量

采用光干涉技术对高压条件下的界面滑移现象进行了试验研究.通过追踪冲击封油核心的运动位移,实现了对滑移长度的定量测量.结果表明:在纯滑条件下封油核心并不以卷吸速度运动,而是在盘纯滑时小于卷吸速度、球纯滑时大于卷吸速度,从而说明了滑移发生在玻璃盘表面.对封油核心的运动特征进行分析,得出了油膜界面滑移长度及剪应变率.试验分析表明滑移长度随油膜厚度、初始封油压力和润滑油黏度的增加而增加;随速度的增加而呈现减小趋势.     

介观双粗糙弹塑性流体动力润滑界面法向接触刚度模型

弹性流体动力润滑状态通常出现在机械高副零部件的点/线接触部位,如齿轮、轴承和蜗轮蜗杆等. 宏观上点/线接触在介观层面表现为两粗糙表面的接触,在微观层面上则又表现为微凸体间的接触. 由于在中/重载荷作用下,粗糙表面上的微凸体发生接触后会产生弹塑性/塑性变形,从而使得两粗糙表面的弹流润滑接触转变为弹塑性流体动力润滑接触. 此外,界面的接触刚度决定了机械装备的整机刚度. 为了精确获得弹性流体动力润滑状态下界面法向接触刚度及其主要影响因素,基于界面的法向接触刚度由固体接触刚度和润滑油膜刚度两部分构成的思想,根据固体弹塑性理论和流体动力学理论,分别对界面间微凸体侧接触及部分膜流体动力润滑进行分析,从微观入手揭示双粗糙表面弹塑性流体动力润滑接触机理,进而建立考虑微凸体侧接触弹塑性变形的流体动力润滑界面法向接触刚度模型. 通过仿真分析,揭示了法向载荷、卷吸速度、表面粗糙度及润滑介质特性等因素对润滑界面法向接触刚度的影响规律. 研究表明:在相同速度、粗糙度及润滑油黏度的工况下,固体接触刚度和油膜接触刚度均随着法向接触载荷的增加呈非线性增大;在相同载荷、速度及润滑油黏度的工况下,接触表面粗糙度越大,表面形貌对于润滑状态的影响较强,固体接触刚度占界面总刚度的主要部分,界面主要由固体承载;在相同载荷、粗糙度及润滑油黏度工况下,随着卷吸速度的增大,固体接触刚度逐渐减小,油膜刚度占界面总刚度的主要部分;在相同载荷、粗糙度及速度工况下,随着润滑油黏度的增大,油膜刚度基本保持不变,固体接触刚度基本不受润滑油黏度的影响. 通过理论建模准确获得单位面积弹塑性流体动力润滑结合面法向接触刚度,对改善机械装备动态性能、提高机械装备的可靠性具有重要的理论和实际意义.      

单个微油滴弹流润滑行为的试验研究

利用光干涉技术研究了微油滴通过弹流润滑接触区的润滑行为,考察了油滴大小、卷吸速度和载荷等因素的影响.结果表明微油滴在入口区域因挤压或毛细力效应发生表面积扩展,从而影响润滑膜的形成.油滴越大,挤压扩展直径越大,形成的膜厚越大.卷吸速度越高,入口处微油滴表面积扩展越不充分,仅接触区局部形成油膜,微油滴在接触表面挤压出凹坑穿过接触区.     

聚合物刷水润滑条件下水膜厚度和摩擦学行为的相关性研究

利用表面引发原子转移自由基聚合技术(SI-ARTP)在钢球和玻璃盘摩擦副表面分别接枝亲水性聚合物刷-聚甲基丙烯酸-3-磺酸丙酯钾盐(PSPMA),去离子水作为润滑剂,在球-盘式摩擦试验机和纳米级薄膜厚度测量装置上开展了其宏观摩擦学性能研究,探讨了流体动压效应介入下的聚合物刷水润滑机理. 利用光干涉技术观察了低卷吸速度下(4 mm/s)接触区域水膜分布情况,发现滚道两侧水膜的形状由初始状态的圆形随着时间逐渐沿着卷吸方向分布,证实了聚合物刷通过不断捕获周围的水分子形成了1层稳定的水膜;通过控制卷吸速度从1 mm/s连续增加512 mm/s实现了润滑状态的转变,低卷吸速度时处于薄膜润滑状态,膜厚不依赖于速度且稳定在35 nm左右,接触区内有效水膜的建立归功于聚合物刷的水合效应;当速度大于32 mm/s时处于弹流润滑状态,膜厚的测量值高于等黏弹膜厚公式的预测值(2~12 nm)和水合效应促成的膜厚值(约35 nm)之和,这意味着在流体动压润滑作用下聚合物刷表现出了优异的润滑增强作用, 是水合效应和流体动压效应协同作用的结果.      

微油滴供油条件下弹流润滑行为的数值分析

油气润滑条件下润滑油以微油滴形式供给摩擦副,基于此建立了简化的单个微油滴供油弹流润滑模型,模拟了微油滴通过弹流接触区的全过程.结果表明:卷吸速度和润滑油黏度会影响微油滴的扩展距离,进而使接触区油膜的形成产生差异.卷吸速度越高,或润滑油黏度越大,微油滴的扩展距离就会越小,油膜仅在接触区中部区域产生,微油滴类似硬质颗粒般在接触表面挤压出凹坑穿过接触区.理论结果和实验结果对比,具有良好的一致性.     

Preface: Current research progress on mechanics of high speed rail

The construction and operation of high-speed rail（HSR）grid within the past two decades in China,in terms of the scale,may be possibly comparable to any national-wide construction in the history of China,even the Great Wall.By counting railways with commercial train service at the speed of200 km/h,China has the world’s longest HSR network with over 19 369.8 km of track in service today and this number

Rainwater rivulets on a cable subject to windFilets d'eau de pluie sur un câble soumis au vent

Rainwater rivulets appear on inclined cables of cable-stayed bridges when wind and rain occur simultaneously. In a restricted range of parameters this is known to cause vibrations of high amplitudes on the cable. The mechanism underlying this effect is still under debate but the role of rainwater rivulets is certain. We use a standard lubrication model to analyse the dynamics of a water film on a cylinder under the effect of gravity and wind load. A simple criterion is then proposed for the appearance and position of rivulets, where the Froude number is the control parameter. Experiments with several geometries of cylinder covered with water in a wind tunnel show the evolution of the rivulets with the Froude number. Comparison of the prediction by the model with these experimental data shows that the main mechanism of rivulet formation and positioning is captured. To cite this article: C. Lemaitre et al., C. R.

Hermitian space-time finite elements for estuarine mass transport

Space-time finite element solutions of the convection–dispersion equation using higher-order nodal continuity and Hermitian polynomial shape functions are described. Five separate elements ranging from a complete linear element with C^0,0 nodal continuity to a complete first-order Hermitian element with C^1,1 nodal continuity are subjected to detailed analysis. Wave deformation analyses identify the source of leading or trailing edge oscillations, trailing edge oscillations being the major source of difficulty. These observations are confirmed by numerical experiments which further demonstrate the potential of higher-order nodal continuity. The performance of the complete first-order Hermitian element is quite satisfactory and measurably superior to the linear element.     

Cristallisation par onde acoustique : le cas de l'héliumCrystallization by acoustic waves: the case of helium

We establish a theoretical model to explain the nucleation of a crystal of helium by an acoustic over-pressure. We explain the interfacial laws for this ultra-fast cristallization, close to the sound speed. Assuming spherical symmetry and taking into account the experimental data, we recover the dynamics of the growth and melting during an over-pressure impulse.

Structure initiale et propriétés de liquéfaction statique d'un sableInitial structure and static liquefaction properties of sand.

Based on the use of two different preparation procedures for reconstituting triaxial samples of sand, i.e. wet tamping and dry pluviation, significant differences in associated mechanical behaviour are observed on a reference sand with respect to the phenomenon of ‘static’ liquefaction. Wet tamping favours the initiation of liquefaction instability, whereas dry pluviation favours a more stable behaviour, less susceptible to liquefaction. Microscopic observation of corresponding sand specimens allows us to identify two well differentiated structures, i.e., for wet tamping, an irregular structure with predominance of aggregates (aggregated grains) and macropores, very contractant and unstable and, for dry pluviation, a more regular structure, without macropores, more dilatant and more stable. These observations show the importance of further characterization, based on the introduction of appropriate parameters, of the initial structure of sandy materials, strongly dependant upon their mode of formation (natural or artificial).

Sources of Complexity in Human Systems

Complex is a special attribute we can give to many kinds of systems. Although it is used often as a synonym of difficult, it has a specific epistemological meaning, which is going to be shared by the incoming science of complexity. Difficult is an object which, by means of an adequate computational power, can be deterministically or stochastically predictable. On the contrary complex is an object which can not be predictable because of logical impossibility or because its predictability would require a computational power far beyond any physical feasibility, now and forever. For complexity refers to some observing system, it is always subjective, and thus it is defined as observed irreducible complexity. Human systems are affected by several sources of complexity, belonging to three classes, in order of descending restrictivity. Systems belonging to the first class are not predictable at all, those belonging to the second class are predictable only through an infinite computational capacity, and those belonging to the third class are predictable only through a trans-computational capacity. The first class has two sources of complexity: logical complexity, directly deriving from self-reference and Gödel's incompleteness theorems, and relational complexity, resulting in a sort of indeterminacy principle occurring in social systems. The second class has three sources of complexity: gnosiological complexity, which consists of the variety of possible perceptions; semiotic complexity, which represents the infinite possible interpretations of signs and facts; and chaotic complexity, which characterizes phenomena of nonlinear dynamic systems. The third class coincides with computational complexity, which basically coincides with the mathematical concept of intractability. Artificial, natural, biological and human systems are characterized by the influence of different sources of complexity, and the latter appear to be the most complex.
