STOCHASTIC MODELLING OF FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH UNDER CONSTANT AMPLITUDE LOADING

Two stochastic models of fatigue crack growth under constant amplitude cyclic loadingare proposed and studied by using the stochastic averaging method and total probability theorem to ac-count for high frequency component and low frequency component, respectively, of the irregular na-ture of fatigue crack growth observed in Virkler's experiment. Particular attention is paid to the predic-tion performance of the models under a change in the initial crack length. It is shown that the modelsproposed in the present paper yields better agreement with experimental data than other models avail-able in literature.     

THERMODYNAMIC AND PARTICLE-DYNAMIC STUDIES ON SYNTHESIS OF SILICA NANOPARTICLES USING MICROWAVE-INDUCED PLASMA CVD

1. Introduction1.1 Silica nanoparticles and synthesis methods Silica (SiO2) nanoparticles are widely used in industry asan active filler for polymer reinforcement, a rheologicaladditive in fluids, a free flow agent in powders, and anagent for chemical mechanical polishing during IC (inte-grated circuit) fabrication (Sniegowski & de Boer, 2000).Silica powder is also used for producing silicon carbide(Koc & Cattamanchi, 1998) or opaque silica aerosols (Leeet al., 1995). Many methods can …     

地震作用下结构的AMTMD主动控制策略

提出了一种新的控制策略——主动多重调谐质量阻尼器(AMTMD)．AMTMD控制系统频率呈线性分布．AMTMD保持相同的刚度和阻尼但质量变化．AMTMD的主动控制力采用Roorda(1975)提出的生成模式．基于结构的广义振型模型，导出了设置AMTMD时结构的动力放大系数(DMF)．于是AMTMD优化准则选择为结构最大动力放大系数的最小值的最小化．分别使用位移、速度和加速度传感器，通过最优搜寻，研究了反映AMTMD有效性和鲁棒性的参数．这些参数包括：频率间隔、平均阻尼比、调谐频率比、Min．Min．Max．DMF、标准化反馈增益系数和环增益系数．为比较，同时考虑了多重调谐质量阻尼器和主动调谐质量阻尼器．而且，数值结果表明：AMTMD比MTMD具有更高的有效性和鲁棒性且ATMD也有更高的有效性．     

阶梯压电层合梁的波动动力学特性

采用行波理论系统地研究了压电阶梯梁的自由振动分析以及强迫响应的分析方法. 基于分布 参数理论研究了压电阶梯梁的波传播特性，忽略柔性梁横向剪切和转动惯量的影响，给出了 梁的轴向和横向的简谐波解. 将压电阶梯梁离散化为单元，考虑压电片的刚度和质量的影响， 建立了节点散射模型. 应用位移连续和力平衡条件，推导了节点的波反射和波传递矩阵，在 此基础上，引入波循环矩阵的概念，给出波循环矩阵、波传递系数矩阵的确定方法. 应用波 循环矩阵可以有效地计算结构的固有频率. 另外，应用波传递系数研究了压电陶瓷作动器位 置对其驱动能力的影响. 得出两个主要结论：1)作动器靠近悬臂梁固定端将有较强的驱动 能力，悬臂梁边界反射行波产生弯曲消失波有利于增大压电波的模态传递系数；2)模态传 递系数与固有频率的灵敏度密切相关，波传递系数越大, 对应该处固有频率变化灵敏度越大. 另外，数值算例表明了行波方法比有限元方法具有更高的计算精度.

Silver(I)-mediated reaction of trimethylsilylated arylacetylenes with sulfonyl chlorides:Unexpected formation of vinvl sulfones

A novel reaction of trimethylsilylated arylacetylenes with sulfonyl chlorides was performed in the presence of silver nitrate or triflate.Conjugated vinyl sulfones as dramatic products were obtained in moderate yields and with Z-selectivity.A free radical mechanism has been proposed to account for the formation of the products.

Escape of Brownian particles and stochastic resonance with low-temperature quantum fluctuations

In this paper, we investigate the escape of Brownian particles and stochastic resonance (SR) with low-temperatures quantum fluctuations by using the quantum Smoluchowski equations at low-temperature. Two specific examples have been considered: one is the example of bistable system, and the other is the example of metastable system. The explicit expressions of the mean-first passage time (MFPT) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for both specific examples are obtained, respectively. Based on the numerical compu...
