Structural and electrical properties of lead-free perovskite ceramic: Ba(In1/2Nb1/2)O3

Lead-free perovskite Ba(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃ was prepared by conventional ceramic fabrication technique at 1350 °C/5 h in air atmosphere. The crystal symmetry, space group and unit cell dimensions were determined from Rietveld analysis using FullProf software whereas crystallite size and lattice strain were estimated from Williamson-Hall approach. XRD analysis of the compound indicated the formation of a single-phase cubic structure with the space group Pm3m. EDAX and SEM studies were carried out in order to evaluate the quality and purity of the compound. Complex impedance as well as electric modulus analyses suggested the dielectric relaxation to be of non-Debye type. The correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model was employed to successfully explain the mechanism of charge transport in Ba(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃.     

弹丸对钢筋混凝土中钢筋交汇处侵彻效应研究

考虑弹丸在钢筋交汇处与钢筋直接发生作用的情况,提出了弹丸侵彻钢筋混凝土的近似模型。利用该模型得到了弹丸侵彻钢筋混凝土过程中弹丸的加速度时间历程。计算结果与实验结果符合较好。用该模型分析了不同配筋结构、配筋尺寸和网眼尺寸对侵彻深度和侵彻过程的影响,结果表明:弹丸从钢筋交汇处侵彻时,当弹丸动能相对较小时,随着网眼尺寸的减小,弹丸的大部分能量均消耗在侵彻第一层配筋结构中,当弹丸动能较大时,不管网眼尺寸多大,第一层配筋均只消耗掉弹丸的部分能量;配筋直径和网眼尺寸对侵彻深度的影响较大。     

组合式隔热陶瓷短杆高温SHPB实验技术

讨论和分析了当前高温分离式霍普金森压杆(SHPB)实验技术,为了获得材料在高温下可靠的动态力学性能,建立了一套在压杆和试件之间添加隔热陶瓷短杆的高温SHPB实验系统。相比于传统接触式高温SHPB方案,该系统可以使用在更高的冲击载荷和温度下,与机械对杆方案相比,实验装置及其控制要简便许多。结合有限元模拟,对陶瓷短杆及温度场对压杆中应力波传播的影响进行了相应的评估,并利用这套实验系统得到了800℃下HR2抗氢钢的动态压缩应力-应变曲线。     

加速器电水锤数值模拟与实验研究

强流加速器水介质形成线放电或击穿形成的冲击波对陶瓷真空界面具有破坏作用。为获得该冲击载荷的信息,应用通用软件ANSYS/LS-DYNA建立了一种水下爆炸有限元模型,将电弧放电等效为爆炸源,模拟得到了冲击波传播时序、压力历史曲线及陶瓷板的加速度响应;为验证模型的有效性,应用"针-板"电极水开关在输出电脉冲40～50 ns、幅值100～300 kV可调的10级陡化前沿Marx发生器上开展了电水锤缩比实验研究。实测了不同击穿电压下冲击波峰压、波速和主脉冲宽度,并依据经验公式计算了放电沉积能量和冲击波能量,平均约17%的间隙放电能量转换为冲击波机械能。对冲击波能量与峰压关系进行了拟合,并与数值模拟结果进行了比较,二者变化趋势基本一致,量级上吻合较好。     

Low temperature fired Ni-Cu-Zn ferrite with Bi4Ti3O12

The Ni-Cu-Zn ferrites with different contents of Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ ceramics (1-8 wt%) as sintering additives were prepared by the usual ceramic technology and sintered at 900 °C to adapt to the low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The magnetic and dielectric properties of the ferrite can be effectively improved with the effect of an appropriate amount of Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂. For all samples, the ferrite sintered with 2 wt% Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ has relatively high density (98.8%) and permeability, while the ferrite with 8 wt% Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ has relatively good dielectric properties in a wide frequency range. The influences of Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ addition on microstructure, magnetic and dielectric properties of the ferrite have been discussed.     

Effect of ZnO on phase emergence, microstructure and surface modifications of calcium phosphosilicate glass/glass-ceramics having iron oxide

The effect of ZnO on phase emergence and microstructure properties of glass and glass-ceramics with composition 25SiO₂-50CaO-15P₂O₅-(10 − x)Fe₂O₃-xZnO (where x = 0, 2, 5, 7 mol%) has been studied. They have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surface modifications of these glass-ceramics in simulated body fluid have been studied using Fourier transform infrared reflection spectroscopy (FTIR), XPS and SEM. Results have shown a decrease in the fraction of non-bridging oxygen with increase in zinc oxide content. Emergence of crystalline phases in glass-ceramics at different heat treatment temperatures was studied using XRD. When glass is heat treated at 800 °C calcium phosphate, hematite and magnetite are developed as major phases in the glass-ceramics samples with ZnO up to 5 mol%. In addition to these, calcium silicate (Ca₃Si₂O₇) phase is also observed when glass is heat treated at 1000 °C. The microstructure of the glass-ceramics heat treated at 800 °C exhibits the formation of nano-size (40-50 nm) grains. On heat treatment at 1000 °C crystallites grow to above 50 nm size and more than one phase are observed in the microstructure. The formation of thin flake-like structure with coarse particles is observed at high zinc oxide concentration (x = 7 mol%). In vitro studies have shown the surface modifications and formation of Ca-P-rich layer on the glass-ceramics when immersed in simulated body fluids (SBF) for different durations. The bioactive response was found to depend on ZnO content.

混凝土层裂强度测量的新方法

提出了利用Hopkionson压杆测量混凝土层裂强度的新实验方法:用高聚物材料取代传统的金属材料透射杆,混凝土试件为细长杆,由于高聚物波阻抗比混凝土小,试件中压缩波在试件/吸收杆界面反射后形成拉伸波使试件产生层裂破坏,通过吸收杆上透射波形可以确定混凝土层裂强度。由于波在粘弹性材料中的弥散效应,吸收杆中透射波形会发生变化,但三维有限元分析表明,在利用吸收杆上透射波确定混凝土层裂强度时弥散产生的影响可以忽略。按照一维特征线理论,可以由吸收杆上的应变波形确定出混凝土材料的层裂强度。
