低应变速率下形状记忆合金的特性实验研究

形状记忆合金以其特有的形状记忆效应和超弹性,被广泛应用于医学、航空和建筑防震。在耗能性机构中,需要形状记忆合金能够在变速率条件下工作。为了获得非静态条件下的行为特性,比较静态和非静态条件下形状记忆合金的行为特性的差异,本文采用一种新的分析方法,即以形状记忆合金的特性参数为对象,来分析不同应变速率对形状记忆合金特性的影响。在不同的应变速率(0.0005/s,0.001/s,0.005/s,0.01/s,0.05/s,0.1/s)下,对50.8at%-Ni-Ti记忆合金丝的形状记忆效应和超弹性特性进行了实验研究。在低应变速率范围内,由实验结果得到:随应变速率增大,两种特性行为中的各纯相的杨氏模量保持不变;拉伸过程相变起始和终了临界应力会增大,卸载过程相变起始和终了临界应力会减小,滞后环面积增大;相变硬化系数在形状记忆效应行为中会增大,而在超弹性行为中基本不变。     

基于虚拟响应信号的结构参数时域辨识研究

在充分考虑线性动力系统的时域响应特性以及小波包分析的频率空间剖分特性的基础上,提出了一种基于虚拟响应信息提取的信号去噪新方法.虚拟响应虽然没有在结构动力检测过程中真实发生,但却是在某种激励下可以实现的一个响应,因此,根据虚拟响应信息同样可以进行结构系统的动力识别.数值研究表明,对于地脉动响应这种有效信号频带与噪声频带相互覆盖的低信噪比信号而言,小波阈值去噪法已无能为力,而基于虚拟响应信息提取的信号去噪方法则有较好的去噪效果.     

Boundary-layer relaxation after a separated region

With reference particularly to the work of Peter Bradshaw and his associates, some remarks are made about the recovery of previously distorted shear flows. It is emphasized that such recovery is usually extremely slow, and this is further illustrated by new measurements of the velocity field and turbulence structure in the relaxing flow downstream of a separated region. Data have been obtained for downstream distances (x) up to about 20 times the length of the separated region (x_r), or about 75 times the flow thickness at reattachment. This is a significantly more extensive region than has been previously studied, and the data are more comprehensive than any previously available.

It is shown that the recovery is even slower than previously surmized. Furthermore, the measurements demonstrate that the turbulence stresses eventually fall below standard boundary-layer values (at the same Reynolds number), although around reattachment they are very much higher, having values more akin to those in plane mixing layers. This undershoot is apparently a new finding and is argued to be a result of the influence of the outer part of the flow on the growing inner region. The usual log-law only begins to appear beyond x/x_r = 2.5. It effectively “sees” a turbulent outer region that recovers even more slowly than itself, and the response of the inner region therefore has similarities to the response of an ordinary boundary layer to free-stream turbulence.

It is concluded that even current second-order (i.e., Reynolds stress) models may not capture the exquisitely slow decay of the strong, large eddy motions in the outer part of the flow and the subtleties of their influence on the inner region.

Rheological characterization of well-defined tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene copolymers

The rheology of tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene (TFE/HFP) copolymers, also known as Teflon FEP polymers, having different molecular weight and composition (HFP content) was studied by means of a parallel-plate rheometer. Two groups of polymers having different molecular weights with nearly constant polydispersity (around 2.5) were considered; namely, one group having a relatively low melting temperature (amorphous with a high content of HFP) and a second group having a higher melting point (semi-crystalline with a lower content of HFP). The relaxation time spectrum, H(λ), calculated by use of the BSW model (developed for monodisperse linear polymers) followed a scaling relationship in the terminal zone with scaling exponent of 0.13. However, at higher frequencies the model fails to predict adequately the experimental data. The longest relaxation time calculated from both the BSW model and discrete relaxation spectra (λ _i ,g _i ), which was determined by use of a parsimonious fitting software, depends on the molecular weight in a similar way as the zero-shear viscosity does with the well-established scaling factor of 3.4. The critical molecular weight for the onset of entanglements, M _c , was found to be about 100000, a value much higher than those previously reported in literature for other polymers. The rheology of resins in the second group (higher melting point) was found to exhibit a strong dependence on thermal history during oscillatory-shear measurements. The data obtained in experiments at different temperatures without a preheating to a certain value (330°C) exhibited a violation of the time-temperature superposition principle and no well-defined values of the zero-shear viscosity. This is attributed to residual crystallinity even at temperatures well above their melting point (260°C). However, the same experiments with preheating and subsequent cooling to desired temperature resulted into a very good time-temperature scaling. Received: 13 January 1998 Accepted: 6 April 1998

A thermodynamic approach with internal variables using Lagrange formalism. Part II. Continuous symmetries in the case of the time–temperature equivalence

In the first part of this contribution, the Lie-symmetries of the principle of least action associated to the constitutive equations of the DNLR formalism of relaxation have been presented. We examine in this second part the continuous symmetries corresponding to the simple case of stress relaxation under isothermal conditions. The well-known principle of time/temperature equivalence is discussed in terms of variational symmetry for the Jacobi’s action functional, and connected to the Onsager’s relation near the thermodynamic equilibrium.     

Ultrasonic sizing of embedded vertical cracks in ferritic steel welds

Embedded vertical cracks are very often encountered in structural components necessitating reliable procedure for determining their size. Specialized ultrasonic techniques are required for estimation of through thickness height of these cracks [Mater. Eval. (1970) 28; J. NDI 26 (1977) 320; NND (1975) 146]. The conventional pulse-echo technique has serious limitations for quantitative estimation of vertical cracks because it is subject to variations due to reflectivity, coupling factors etc. The present study aims to improve the accuracy of embedded crack height measurement based on transit time rather than the reflected amplitude [NDT Int. (1982) 315; J. JSNDT 27 (1978) 118]. A unique method has been developed for generating known sizes of fatigue cracks ranging from 2.5 to 18 mm in height and 15 mm in length. These cracks were generated in rectangular steel specimens and subsequently embedded at predetermined locations using welding. These welded specimens containing the embedded vertical cracks were examined using ultrasonic techniques based on transit time like (a) flaw tip echo method and (b) mode conversion method. Using both the techniques excellent agreement was obtained between the estimated crack height and actual crack height with an accuracy of ±1 mm.
