刚柔耦合建模理论的实验验证

传统的混合坐标建模理论是零次近似方法，对刚柔耦合问题的描述存在缺陷，研究以一个由中心刚体，柔性梁及末端质量组成的刚柔耦合系统对象，建立了精确的一次近似的刚柔耦合动力学方程，在该模型中计及了结构阻尼及风阻的影响，利用单轴气浮台动力学实验平台，通过与实验数据的比较，说明了传统零次近似方法在某些条件下已不能下确描述柔性的刚性正确性和可靠性。     

冲击载荷形状对阻尼介质中结构最终塑性变形的影响

分析了在阻尼介质中当保持相关参量相同时，冲击载荷形状对简支刚塑性圆板和圆柱薄壳的最终塑性变形的影响。在结构物高载阶段的运动中，考虑了阻尼介质对塑性铰区移行的影响。结果表明:在阻尼介质中，文献［６］中相关参量的概念仍然可以沿用，但结构的最终塑性变形与相关参量的关系式Ｗ＿ｏｆ＝Ｉ￣２＿ｅＧ（Ｐ＿ｅ）应由更一般的表达式来代替。     

静压气体球轴承支承球形转子的干扰力矩分析

中心小孔供气单向受载球面气体轴承可以用于球形转子的静平衡测量。对作用于转子上的干扰力矩进行估算是平衡装置设计的重要部分。本在一定假设条件下推导了由粘性剪切应力和气膜支撑力引起的作用于转子上的干扰力矩。干扰力矩以轴承包角、中心气室张角、气膜压力、转子转速、转子旋转轴位置、失中度、转子非球表示。以干扰力矩最小为准则分析了这些参数的影响，结论有助于静平衡装置的优化设计以及对精度的进一步分析。     

On aspects of damping for a vertical beam with a tuned mass damper at the top

In this paper, the wind-induced, horizontal vibrations of a vertical Euler–Bernoulli beam will be considered. At the top of the beam, a tuned mass damper (TMD) has been installed. The horizontal vibrations can be described by an initial-boundary value problem. Perturbation methods will be applied to construct approximations of the solutions of the initial-boundary value problem, and it will be shown that the TMD uniformly damps the oscillation modes of the beam. In the analysis, it will be assumed that damping, wind-force, and gravity effects are small but not negligible.

Prototype electrochromic device and dye sensitized solar cell using spray deposited undoped and ‘Li’ doped V2O5 thin film electrodes

Lithium (Li) (0–5 wt%) doped V₂O₅ thin films were spray deposited at 450 °C onto ITO substrates. Structural analysis using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy revealed orthorhombic phase of the films. In addition to the V₂O₅ phase, presence of VO₂ peaks due to high deposition temperature is also evident from structural and optical characterization. The non-stoichiometric nature of the films due to loss of the terminal O atom was confirmed from Raman spectroscopy. The direct band gap, indirect bandgap, and phonon energies were also calculated from optical studies. Different charge states of vanadium ions present in the film were identified from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study. Results from cyclic voltammetry experiments reflected significant differences between the undoped and Li doped V₂O₅ samples. Transport properties by Hall-effect measured at room temperature indicated significant increase in conductivity, carrier concentration and mobility of V₂O₅ thin films on doping with Li. A Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) was fabricated using mobility enhanced 5 wt% Li doped V₂O₅ film as photoanode and its efficiency was found to be 2.7%. A simple electrochromic cell is fabricated using undoped V₂O₅ thin film to demonstrate the colour change.     

Landau damping in a bounded magnetized plasma column

The damping decrement of Landau damping and the effect of thermal velocity on the frequency spectrum of a propagating wave in a bounded plasma column are investigated.The magnetized plasma column partially filling a cylindrical metallic tube is considered to be collisionless and non-degenerate.The Landau damping is due to the thermal motion of charge carriers and appears whenever the phase velocity of the plasma waves exceeds the thermal velocity of carriers.The analysis is based on a self-consistent kinetic theory and the solutions of the wave equation in a cylindrical plasma waveguide are presented using Vlasov and Maxwell equations.The hybrid mode dispersion equation for the cylindrical plasma waveguide is obtained through the application of appropriate boundary conditions to the plasma-vacuum interface.The dependence of Landau damping on plasma parameters and the effects of the metallic tube boundary on the dispersion characteristics of plasma and waveguide modes are investigated in detail through numerical calculations.     

Observation of room temperature negative differential resistance in solution synthesized ZnO nanorod

We report the observation of negative differential resistance (NDR) in solution synthesized ZnO nanorod. The ZnO nanorod was fabricated as a two terminal planar device using lithographically patterned Au electrodes. The measured current–voltage response of the device has shown a negative differential resistance behavior. The peak-to-valley current ratio of the NDR is found to be greater than 4. The mechanism of this observed NDR effect has been explained based on charge trapping and de-trapping at the nanoscale contacts. It is the first observation of negative differential resistance effect in solution synthesized ZnO nanorod.     

Existence of global weak solutions for Navier‐Stokes‐Poisson equations with quantum effect and convergence to incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations

In this paper, we consider a three dimensional quantum Navier‐Stokes‐Poisson equations. Existence of global weak solutions is obtained, and convergence toward the classical solution of the incompressible Navier‐Stokes equation is rigorously proven for well prepared initial data. Furthermore, the associated convergence rates are also obtained. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Finite Time Extinction for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in 1D and 2D

We consider a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with power nonlinearity, either on a compact manifold without boundary, or on the whole space in the presence of harmonic confinement, in space dimension one and two. Up to introducing an extra superlinear damping to prevent finite time blow up, we show that the presence of a sublinear damping always leads to finite time extinction of the solution in 1D, and that the same phenomenon is present in the case of small mass initial data in 2D.
