A structure-preserving finite element approximation of surface diffusion for curve networks and surface clusters

We consider the evolution of curve networks in two dimensions (2d) and surface clusters in three dimensions (3d). The motion of the interfaces is described by surface diffusion, with boundary conditions at the triple junction points lines, where three interfaces meet, and at the boundary points lines, where an interface meets a fixed planar boundary. We propose a parametric finite element method based on a suitable variational formulation. The constructed method is semi-implicit and can be shown to satisfy the volume conservation of each enclosed bubble and the unconditional energy-stability, thus preserving the two fundamental geometric structures of the flow. Besides, the method has very good properties with respect to the distribution of mesh points, thus no mesh smoothing or regularization technique is required. A generalization of the introduced scheme to the case of anisotropic surface energies and non-neutral external boundaries is also considered. Numerical results are presented for the evolution of two-dimensional curve networks and three-dimensional surface clusters in the cases of both isotropic and anisotropic surface energies.     

Duplex dual-labeled fluorescence probe-based melting curve and endpoint genotyping assays for genotyping of rs2000999 and haptoglobin gene deletion

Haptoglobin (Hp) is a hemoglobin-binding serum glycoprotein. Some variations in the Hp gene (HP) or Hp-related gene (HPR), including a single-nucleotide polymorphism in intron 2 of HRP, rs2000999, and a complete deletion of the HP gene (HP^del), one of the rare variants of HP, have been reported to correlate with the serum cholesterol concentration as well as the serum Hp concentration. In this study, we developed a duplex dual-labeled fluorescence probe-based method to simultaneously determine the rs2000999 G > A polymorphism by melting curve genotyping and the zygosity of HP^del by endpoint genotyping. This method was then validated by using the genomic DNA from 94 Japanese subjects for whom genotypes of rs2000999 and HP^del zygosity had already been determined. The results obtained with this method were in perfect agreement with the previous ones. Thus, the present method enables us to estimate these two polymorphisms in relatively large-scale groups of subjects, especially in Asian populations where the HP^del is distributed.     

高维线性插值方法及其在3维温度场计算中的应用

通过分析1维和2维线性插值可以推导出任意斜角直线坐标系下n维线性插值的一般计算公式以及有唯一解的条件,这一结论能够应用于三维温度场计算。可以将n维插值问题归结如下:已知n 1维空间中的n 1个点的坐标以及第n 2个点的n个坐标分量xn 2,1,x n 2,2,,xn 2,n,求解该点的第n 1个坐标分量xn 2,n 1。根据线性插值定义,第n 2个点位于前n 1个点所确定的n维超平面上。根据这一条件列写方程、求解方程可得到插值xn 2,n 1。n维插值问题有唯一解的条件是已知的n 1个点在n维空间中构成的多面体的体积不为0。推导过程在斜角直线坐标系中完成,因而结论具有较大普适性。     

Phase Behavior of Methane-Pentane Mixture in Bulk and in Porous Media

The adiabatic calorimetry method is used to measure the isochoric heat capacity and the dew-bubble curves for the methane-normal pentane mixtures in bulk for three different mixture compositions of n-pentane. The near-critical behavior of the mixture heat capacity indicates that at low n-pentane concentrations, this system is close to the special point of the critical locus. The effect of porous medium has been investigated for one of the mixtures studied in bulk. It has been shown that in porous medium the essential shift of the dew-bubble curve takes place. In our opinion this shift is caused by the formation of wetting film on the surface of porous medium. The estimation of film thickness resulting from the data obtained yields the value 7–8 nm.

金属橡胶材料阻尼测试的一个新方法

金属橡胶材料是一种新型减振缓冲材料。本文提出了一个金属橡胶材料阻尼性能的测试方法。基于粘弹性阻尼耗能的基本原理,在给定应变激励函数的条件下,构造了一个等效应力响应函数,由滞环面积相等建立了一组包含实测应力响应和等效应力响应的等效耗能方程,将应变激励函数离散得到了损耗因子的计算表达式,由此可以通过实测应力方便地计算出损耗因子。该方法不仅便于对大阻尼材料的阻尼进行测试,而且具有精度高的优点。依据这一方法对金属橡胶材料进行了测试,测试结果表明我们开发的金属橡胶材料有很好的阻尼减振性能。     

机车曲轴镀铁修复疲劳对比试验研究

通过对镀铁修复后的机车曲轴的疲劳性能进行检测试验，同时给出参照的新曲轴的疲劳性能参数，比较分析原件性能和镀铁修复后的疲劳性能的差异，从而判断在原工作环境下镀铁修复后机车曲轴的工作寿命如何变化，试验中采用42CrMoA棒材及其镀铁修复件进行比较，给出了最大应力—疲劳寿命的S—N曲线，从实验数据可以分析，因长期使用轴径磨损的曲轴镀铁修复后，其疲劳性能将有部分损失，疲劳极限下降9．68%，这意味着在较大的疲劳应力下工作的镀铁修复后曲轴，其疲劳寿命低于原件，因此应进一步研究镀铁修复的曲轴在实际工况下的疲劳极限，并改善镀铁工艺，提高疲劳极限，使镀铁修复技术更好地应用于工程实际。
