Optical study of a light diaphragm rupture process in an expansion tube

Abstract. Rupture of a light cellophane diaphragm in an expansion tube has been studied by an optical method. The influence of the light diaphragm on test flow generation has long been recognised, however the diaphragm rupture mechanism is less well known. It has been previously postulated that the diaphragm ruptures around its periphery due to the dynamic pressure loading of the shock wave, with the diaphragm material at some stage being removed from the flow to allow the shock to accelerate to the measured speeds downstream. The images obtained in this series of experiments are the first to show the mechanism of diaphragm rupture and mass removal in an expansion tube. A light diaphragm was impulsively loaded via a shock wave and a series of images was recorded holographically throughout the rupture process, showing gradual destruction of the diaphragm. Features such as the diaphragm material, the interface between gases, and a reflected shock were clearly visualised. Both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the rupture dynamics were derived from the images and compared with existing one-dimensional theory. Received 10 April 1999 / Accepted 17 April 2000     

基于局部线性嵌入的特征融合方法在岩石破裂 状态分类的应用*

为了获取岩石破裂过程有效的声发射信号特征,更好的对岩石破裂状态进行分类,提出一种基于流形学习算法的LLE特征融合方法进行数据降维。以红砂岩为研究对象设计室内单轴压缩实验采集信号,然后对原始声发射信号预处理并对信号进行特征提取,以时域、频域下的特征向量重新组合成一组新的多维特征向量,采用线性主元(PCA)和流形学习LLE算法分别进行降维。比较两种算法降维后融合特征的聚类效果二维和三维分布图,使用LLE算法降维后,四种状态分布相对更近,呈一条水平线趋势,且各状态交叉混叠数目较少,第一状态没有一个样本错判,且四个状态相比于PCA降维后的聚类效果更集中。再比较两种算法降维后融合特征的敏感度之和,LLE算法融合特征敏感度之和远大于PCA算法,说明经过LLE算法降维后得到的融合特征更多地表征了原始信号包含的局部信息同时证明了LLE算法相比PCA算法具有更好的聚类效果。最后经LLE特征融合下的砂岩破裂状态分类实验验证,融合特征后的识别率相对单一的时域特征识别提高了6%。表明该方法能显著提高岩石破裂状态分类的识别率,降维性能相对突出。     

Black foam and emulsion films from nonionic surfactant solutions: rupture by hole formation

The concept that rupture of bilayer films is caused by nucleation of holes was checked for foam and emulsion films stabilized by the same nonionic surfactant. Newtonian black (NB) films were formed in a ring-cell from a biconcave drop with air or nonane, respectively, as the ambient phase. The lifetime of the foam and emulsion films increases with surfactant concentration. This relation is analysed on the basis of above mentioned theory.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. A. Weiss on the occasion of his 60th birthday.     

RING-OPENING POLYMERIZATION OF 1,4-DIOXAN-2-ONE INITIATED BY LANTHANUM TRIS( 2,6-DI- TERT-B UTYL-4-METHYLPHENOLATE)

The ring-opening polymerization of 1,4-dioxan-2-one (PDO) was carried out by lanthanum tris(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenolate) (La(OAr)3) as novel single component initiator. The influences of polymerization reaction temperature and the molar ratio of monomer to initiator on the monomer conversion and molecular weight of poly(1,4-dioxan-2-one) (PPDO) were explored. PPDO with high viscosity average molecular weight of 1.95 × 105 can be prepared at 40℃ when [PDO]/ [La(OAr)3] molar ratio was 800. Mechanism investigation shows that the polymerization proceeds through a "coordinationinsertion" mechanism with selective rupture of acyl-oxygen bond of PDO.     

脆性基体复合材料层板弯曲破坏的数值模拟

讨论了复合材料层板的弯曲破坏问题,纤维层是正交异性弹性体,而基体为脆性损伤材料。提出了一种脆性损伤模型,虽是各向同性连续损伤模型,但利用等效损伤应变的定义,可以区分拉、压和剪切对损伤的不同响应。用有限元法数值模拟了如下现象,一旦基体出现临界损伤,弯曲载荷则从最大值急速下降,同时基体的临界损伤区很快扩展,并且发生局部纤维断裂,从而使复合材料层板几乎失去了承弯能力,整体呈脆性特性。为便于了解破坏过程,给出了若干状态时板内的应力等值线分布图。     

Relationship between strain localization and catastrophic rupture

In order to explore a prior warning to catastrophic rupture of heterogeneous media, like rocks, the present study investigates the relationship between surface strain localization and catastrophic rupture. Instrumented observations on the evolution of surface strain field and the catastrophic rupture of a rock under uniaxial compression were carried out. It is found that the evolution of surface strain field displays two phases: at the early stage, the strain field keeps nearly uniform with weak fluctuations increasing slowly; but at the stage prior to catastrophic rupture, a certain accelerating localization develops and a localized zone emerges. Based on the measurements, an analysis was performed with local mean-field approximation. More importantly, it is found that the scale of localized zone is closely related to the catastrophic rupture strain and the rupture strain can be calculated in accord with the local-mean-field model satisfactorily. This provides a possible clue to the forecast of catastrophic rupture.     

典型冰水堆积体浪蚀作用下变形破坏机制研究

大渡河中游沿岸中海拔地区广泛分布的一层冰水堆积体大多具有较为密实的结构和一定程度的胶结, 在风浪作用下的变形破坏机制与其他堆积体存在较大差别。通过对某电站库区高速公路冰水堆积路基岸坡调查和试验分析认为, 该冰水堆积体属级配良好的含细颗粒的粗粒～巨粒混合土, 颗粒之间嵌合紧密, 一般呈中密～密实状, 具有不同程度的泥质、钙质胶结, 其强度明显较其他松散堆积体高。通过采用地质过程定性分析和有限元半定量评价相结合的手段对该冰水堆积体在风浪作用下的变形破坏机制进行了分析和研究, 认为该类冰水堆积体在风浪作用下主要表现为淘蚀- 坍塌型失稳模式。     

Creep damage constitutive equations for multi-axial states of stress for 0.5Cr0.5Mo0.25V ferritic steel at 590°C

Multi-axial creep damage constitutive equations are developed for 0.5Cr0.5Mo0.25V ferritic steel at 590°C. It is aimed to overcome the deficiency of inconsistency in predicted and observed creep strains existed in previous formulations [Q. Xu, in: European Conference on Advances in Mechanical Behaviour, Plasticity and Damage, 7–9 November 2000, Tours, France; Creep Damage Mechanics Research Report, The School of Engineering, The University of Huddersfield, 2000; I.J. Perrin, D.R. Hayhurst, J. Strain Anal. 31 (4) (1996) 299]. In this paper, the lifetime and strain at failure are qualitatively validated in a wider range of states of stress by which the capability of producing consistent results is demonstrated.     

Hemodynamic analysis of intracranial aneurysms using phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging and computational fluid dynamics

Additional hemodynamic parameters are highly desirable in the clinical management of intracranial aneurysm rupture as static medical images cannot demonstrate the blood flow within aneurysms. There are two ways of obtaining the hemodynamic information—by phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging(PCMRI) and computational fluid dynamics(CFD). In this paper, we compared PCMRI and CFD in the analysis of a stable patient's specific aneurysm.The results showed that PCMRI and CFD are in good agreement with each other. An additional CFD study of two stable and two ruptured aneurysms revealed that ruptured aneurysms have a higher statistical average blood velocity,wall shear stress, and oscillatory shear index(OSI) within the aneurysm sac compared to those of stable aneurysms.Furthermore, for ruptured aneurysms, the OSI divides the positive and negative wall shear stress divergence at the aneurysm sac.     

Calcul à la rupture en présence d'un écoulement à surface libre : construction de champs de pression approchésYield design for porous media subjected to unconfined flow: construction of approximate pressure fields

We consider the stability of a porous medium submitted to a steady-state flow with free-boundary. Assuming some hypotheses, it is possible to implement the kinematic method by using an approximate pressure field bounding the true pressure field from below. We are interested in finding such approximate pressure fields and in proving that they bound the true pressure field from below without knowing the true pressure field. We use fields which are solutions of a problem with relaxed conditions with regard to the real problem. Under a uniqueness condition of the solution of a weak formulation of the problem, such fields are lower bounds for the true pressure field. Finally, we give the example of a vertical dam.
