Growth of high-crystallinity uniform GaAs nanowire arrays by molecular beam epitaxy

The self-catalyzed growth of Ga As nanowires(NWs) on silicon(Si) is an effective way to achieve integration between group III–V elements and Si. High-crystallinity uniform Ga As NW arrays were grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy(MBE). In this paper, we describe systematic experiments which indicate that the substrate treatment is crucial to the highly crystalline and uniform growth of one-dimensional nanomaterials. The influence of natural oxidation time on the crystallinity and uniformity of Ga As NW arrays was investigated and is discussed in detail. The Ga As NW crystallinity and uniformity are maximized after 20 days of natural oxidation time. This work provides a new solution for producing high-crystallinity uniform III–V nanowire arrays on wafer-scale Si substrates. The highly crystalline uniform NW arrays are expected to be useful for NW-based optical interconnects and Si platform optoelectronic devices.

面向变厚度柔性轧制工艺的帽型梁横向冲击吸能优化设计

作为汽车主要吸能构件的帽型梁的吸能提升设计是备受关注的问题.研究表明,通过优化薄壁结构的厚度可有效提升吸能性能,但复杂的厚度分布造成制造困难.针对可实现厚度调控的工艺,发展易制造的结构设计方法极为必要.本文基于变厚度柔性轧制工艺(variable gauge rolling, VGR)可实现厚度调控的特点,发展建立帽型梁横向冲击吸能优化设计方法.基于变厚度柔性轧制工艺生产的柔性轧制板(tailor rolled blanks, TRB)的特点,将受横向冲击的帽型薄壁梁设计成沿轴线分段变厚度、分段间设梯度过渡段的结构形式,通过调整各段厚度、分段位置和过渡层梯度变化规律,实现性能的优化.以应变能密度分布均匀为优化准则、基于混合元胞自动机(hybird cellular automata, HCA)方法构建优化模型和求解方法,并在迭代过程中施加满足轧制约束的过滤函数,使结构满足轧制工艺要求.其中,轧制约束的过滤函数由粒子群算法自动寻找.基于本文方法,具体设计了柔性轧制帽型梁横向冲击吸能最优的分段位置、各段厚度及过渡段厚度的梯度过渡方式,设计结果验证了方法的有效性.      

主动控制压电旋转悬臂梁的参数振动稳定性分析

在工程实际中旋转机械由于制造和加工误差,装配的不均匀性等原因,往往会脉动运行,这将使得机械系统发生参数振动. 当脉动参数满足一定关系时,这种参数振动将会失稳,进而影响机械结构的正常运转. 本文针对这一问题,引入压电材料对 脉动旋转悬臂梁系统的振动进行控制,研究主动控制悬臂梁系统的参数振动优化设计问题,采用 Hamilton 变分原理与一阶 Galerkin 离散相结合的方法,建立了受速度反馈传感器主动控制的压电旋转悬臂梁的一阶近似线性控制方程. 运用多尺度方法,得到了压电旋转悬臂梁系统在发生1/2亚谐波参数共振时稳定性边界的控制方程,并利用直接分析方法验证了解析摄动解的正确性. 将摄动解中临界阻尼比和轮毂角速度脉动幅值的无量纲参数作为评价系统稳定性能的指标. 通过数值算例,分析了轮毂半径、轮毂角速度平均值和脉动幅值、梁长以及速度传感器的反馈增益系数对系统稳定性区域的影响. 研究结果表明,梁长、轮毂半径、脉动幅值会降低系统稳定性,反馈增益系数可以提高系统稳定性,而轮毂角速度平均值与系统稳定性之间有非单调的关系. 为进一步设计压电旋转机械结构提供了理论依据.      

人行荷载下梁式结构振动分析的DQ-IQ混合法

为了评估人行荷载作用下梁式结构的振动舒适度，利用微分求积-积分求积，即DQ-IQ混合法求解移动荷载作用下梁的振动响应。人行荷载作用下梁式结构的振动控制方程是含Dirac函数的偏微分方程，首先利用IQ法离散与时间相关的Dirac函数，再利用DQ法把控制方程转化为二阶常系数微分方程，最后利用Newmark算法求解微分方程。以某钢结构连廊为例，利用DQ法计算结构自振频率并与解析解进行对比，结果验证了节点选取和边界条件施加的合理性，再利用DQ-IQ混合法和振型叠加法分别计算了不同行走步频下连廊的响应，计算结果表明，DQ-IQ混合法具有较高的可靠性和精确性。DQ-IQ混合法也可以推广到诸如车辆荷载作用下路面或桥梁的动力响应等其他移动荷载下结构的振动分析。     

简支及悬臂箱梁在角隅轴向荷载作用下的翼板纵向应力

基于能量变分原理，拟定轴向荷载作用下箱梁的纵向位移函数，得到关于翼板剪切变形引起的位移差函数的基本微分方程，继而推导出箱梁翼板纵向应力表达式，并首次得出角隅轴向荷载作用下翼板出现应力不均匀分布的荷载及边界条件。通过对一模型箱梁进行计算，并与通用有限元软件ANSYS壳单元计算结果进行比较，验证了该方法和所推导公式的正确性。研究结果表明，当作用于简支箱梁截面角隅处的轴向荷载（合力无偏心）为集中或分布荷载时，翼板不产生纵向应力不均匀现象；当作用于悬臂箱梁截面角隅处的轴向荷载（合力无偏心）为集中荷载时，翼板不产生纵向应力不均匀现象，而当荷载轴向分布时，翼板将产生纵向应力不均匀现象。实际工程中，横力弯曲使悬臂箱梁产生剪力滞效应，这种效应会与轴向分布荷载产生的效应叠加，设计时对此应予以充分考虑。     

体外预应力梁摩擦效应的非线性分析

构造了简单的体外预应力梁的摩擦单元,摩擦单元位于转向块和体外筋之间的角平分线上,能模拟转向块和体外筋之间的有摩擦或无摩擦滑移。考虑混凝土、钢筋和体外筋应力-应变的非线性关系,采用梁截面弯矩-轴力-曲率的三折线模型,探讨了体外预应力梁的性能。对简支梁和连续梁的不同因素进行计算,包括不同摩擦系数、不同体外筋和钢筋面积、不同偏心距以及对称和非对称荷载形式。计算结果表明,对于简支梁和对称荷载下的连续梁,承载力的摩擦效应可以忽略,最大预应力增量和挠度的摩擦效应不宜忽略,最小预应力增量的摩擦效应明显;对于非对称荷载下的连续梁,承载力、最大和最小预应力增量以及挠度的摩擦效应不可忽略。     

Raman Micro-Spectroscopy of Dental Pulp Stem Cells: An Approach to Monitor the Effects of Cone Beam Computed Tomography Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation

The objective of this study was to determine the molecular and biochemical changes in dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) due to consecutive low-dose ionizing radiation exposures using label-free Raman micro-spectroscopy (RMS). Ionizing radiation produces biological damage leading to health effects of varying severity. The effects and subsequent health implications caused by exposure to low-dose radiation, such as diagnostic exposure, remain ambiguous. We identified Raman biomarkers characteristic to low-dose cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) irradiation of the DPSCs. The biomarkers were monitored inside the cells using the relative intensity distribution of the 785 and 1734?cm^?1 bands. The control cells presented a higher relative intensity of the nucleic acid specific Raman bands, whereas the irradiated cells revealed an increased intensity of the lipid-induced bands. The results obtained in this study demonstrate the capability of RMS for the detection of cell response to diagnostic radiation dose levels. This may indicate the potential of the technique for future applications such as monitoring the radiation responses in pediatric patients suffering repeated radiological exposures.     

Generation and Propagation of Optical Superoscillatory Vortex Arrays

Superoscillation is an intriguing wave phenomenon which enables subwavelength features propagating into far field and hence has potential applications in super‐resolution microscopy as well as particle trapping and manipulation. While previous demonstrations mostly concentrate on designing complicated nanostructures for generating uncontrollable superoscillatory functions, here a new technique which allows for creating polynomially shaped superoscillatory functions that contain phase singularity arrays is demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. Such a technique is implemented in optical experiments for the first time and controllable superoscillatory lobes with feature much below the diffraction limit is achieved. More importantly, a general theoretical framework, which, to our knowledge, has not been reported before, is developed to show how the created superoscillations propagate to a distance of many Rayleigh ranges and eventually disappear when the distance is sufficiently larger. The validity of the model is confirmed by the experiments. The results may trigger further studies in light field shaping and manipulations in subwavelength scale.
