Thermo-mechanical large deformation response and constitutive modeling of viscoelastic polymers over a wide range of strain rates and temperatures

A phenomenological one-dimensional constitutive model, characterizing the complex and highly nonlinear finite thermo-mechanical behavior of viscoelastic polymers, is developed in this investigation. This simple differential form model is based on a combination of linear and nonlinear springs with dashpots, incorporating typical polymeric behavior such as shear thinning, thermal softening at higher temperatures and nonlinear dependence on deformation and loading rate. Another model, of integral form, namely the modified superposition principle (MSP), is also modified further and used to show the advantage of the newly developed model over MSP. The material parameters for both models are determined for Adiprene-L100, a polyurethane based rubber. The constants once determined are then utilized to predict the behavior under strain rate jump compression, multiple step stress relaxation loading experiment and free end torsion experiments. The new constitutive model shows very good agreement with the experimental data for Adiprene-L100 for the various finite loading paths considered here and provides a flexible framework for a three-dimensional generalization.     

非均匀螺旋相位调制下对称破缺角向偏振光束的聚焦特性

提出了一种多参量调控角向偏振光束焦场强度和横向能流的方法.基于矢量衍射积分理论,数值模拟了非均匀螺旋相位和旋转对称振幅挡板调制下角向偏振光束的聚焦特性,讨论了螺旋相位结构和对称振幅挡板联合调制下,角向偏振光束焦场横向能流和偏振态的分布.结果表明:非均匀螺旋相位的引入改变了光场的聚焦特性,导致聚焦场重心产生了偏移;在偶数重旋转对称振幅挡板的联合调制下,焦场中出现了局部的椭圆偏振态和圆偏振态,且焦平面上出现了横向能流;通过调节螺旋相位,不仅可以实现焦场重心的特殊控制,还能进一步丰富焦场偏振态和横向能流分布.这种基于多参量调控焦场强度和能流分布的方法为实现操控特定区域的粒子提供了新的思路.     

Approximation properties for solutions to non‐Lipschitz stochastic differential equations with Lévy noise

In this paper, we consider the non‐Lipschitz stochastic differential equations and stochastic functional differential equations with delays driven by Lévy noise, and the approximation theorems for the solutions to these two kinds of equations will be proposed respectively. Non‐Lipschitz condition is much weaker condition than the Lipschitz one. The simplified equations will be defined to make its solutions converge to that of the corresponding original equations both in the sense of mean square and probability, which constitute the approximation theorems.

Local stability of the Cournot solution with increasing heterogeneous competitors

In this paper we try to solve a paradox related to the results of Theocharis (1960). When the number of competitors increases the Cournot–Nash equilibrium loses stability. We relax the assumption about homogeneity in the decision mechanism and show that if we admit heterogeneity than by increasing the number of competitors the stability region on the parameters’ space may enlarge instead of shrinking.     

Characterization and organic electric-double-layer-capacitor application of KOH activated coal-tar-pitch-based carbons: Effect of carbonization temperature

The present study reports the influence of pre-carbonization on the properties of KOH-activated coal tar pitch (CTP). The change of crystallinity and pore structure of pre-carbonized CTPs as well as their activated carbons (ACs) as function of pre-carbonization temperature are investigated. The crystallinity of pre-carbonized CTPs increases with increasing the carbonization temperature up to 600 °C, but a disorder occurs during the carbonization around 700 °C and an order happens gradually with increasing the carbonization temperatures in range of 800–1000 °C. The CTPs pre-carbonized at high temperatures are more difficult to be activated with KOH than those pre-carbonized at low temperatures due to the increase of micro-crystalline size and the decrease of surface functional groups. The micro-pores and meso-pores are well developed at around 1.0 nm and 2.4 nm, respectively, as the ACs are pre-carbonized at temperatures of 500–600 °C, exhibiting high specific capacitances as electrode materials for electric double layer capacitor (EDLC). Although the specific surface area (SSA) and pore volume of ACs pre-carbonized at temperatures of 900–1000 °C are extraordinary low (non-porous) as compared to those of AC pre-carbonized at 600 °C, their specific capacitances are comparable to each other. The large specific capacitances with low SSA ACs can be attributed to the structural change resulting from the electrochemical activation during the 1st charge above 2.0 V.     

振幅阻尼信道量子隐形传态保真度恢复机理

在振幅阻尼信道上进行量子隐形传态的过程中, 量子Bell纠缠态将发生退相干, 导致隐形传态质量下降甚至通信失败. 为克服该影响, 本文提出了一种Bell纠缠态补偿方法. 在估计振幅阻尼信道参数的基础上, 将对纠缠态的补偿分为纠缠退相干发生之前的预补偿以及 经历量子振幅阻尼信道之后的匹配补偿两部分. 前者在纠缠源处进行, 后者在两个量子通信 用户处进行, 预补偿及匹配补偿参数与信道特性参数相关. 纠缠补偿完成后, 再进行隐形传态. 理论推导与性能分析结果表明, 相比于不进行纠缠补偿及仅在发生退相干之后进行的纠缠补偿, 本方法能够获得更高的隐形传态保真度, 适当调整补偿参数, 可使保真度接近于1, 对克服纠缠 退相干带来的隐形传态质量下降问题具有一定的意义.

定向凝固过程中枝晶侧向分枝生长行为与强制调控规律

采用相场法数值模拟研究了定向凝固过程中随机噪声条件下枝晶侧向分枝生成行为与强制扰动条件下侧向分枝调控规律. 模拟结果表明: 随机噪声条件下, 侧向分枝整体上并无规则性, 但产生频率存在一定分布范围, 且在一定时间段内会出现生成频率一致且具有极强相关性的一组侧向分枝, 即波包; 不同波包之间不具有相关性, 但不同波包内部的侧枝生成频率基本相同, 且与侧枝整体频谱曲线峰值位置处的频率基本相当; 强制周期扰动条件下, 当扰动频率处于侧向分枝整体生成频率范围内时, 可激发枝晶产生规则侧向分枝, 且扰动频率与波包内侧枝生成频率一致时侧向分枝最发达. 研究结果可为向定向凝固枝晶形态的调控提供理论指导.
