基于同步辐射原位CT的水牛角结构性能关系研究

为探究水牛角的结构性能关系,基于上海同步辐射光源搭建了高分辨原位CT系统,对水牛角角鞘进行初始表征和准静态压缩下的实时表征,并通过Top-Hat方法提取了角鞘内孔洞三维形貌。结果显示,水牛角角鞘孔隙率在1%左右,椭圆柱状孔洞沿牛角生长方向排列成线,首尾相连却并未连通,均匀分布在波浪状片层之间。孔洞特征椭球的轴长分布满足对数正态分布,长轴和短轴的长度均值分别为7μm和3μm。原位CT结果表明,角鞘在屈服之后,初始孔洞首先扩张而形成微裂纹,随后微裂纹沿着片层界面由外向内发生桥接,片层发生局部屈曲和层间开裂,形成宏观裂纹,导致角鞘内裂纹密度急剧上升。片层之间不仅存在大量纤维黏接(提高了层间拉伸/剪切强度),而且孔洞互不连通,这些因素抑制了层间裂纹的快速传播,使得各处裂纹只能独立缓慢发展而无法贯通样品。波浪状片层使裂纹传播路径更加曲折,层间屈曲增加了片层摩擦耗能。这些机制使得牛角表现出加工硬化,也是牛角在纵向方向呈现优良韧性的主要原因。     

Simulations of X‐ray diffraction of shock‐compressed single‐crystal tantalum with synchrotron undulator sources

Polychromatic synchrotron undulator X‐ray sources are useful for ultrafast single‐crystal diffraction under shock compression. Here, simulations of X‐ray diffraction of shock‐compressed single‐crystal tantalum with realistic undulator sources are reported, based on large‐scale molecular dynamics simulations. Purely elastic deformation, elastic–plastic two‐wave structure, and severe plastic deformation under different impact velocities are explored, as well as an edge release case. Transmission‐mode diffraction simulations consider crystallographic orientation, loading direction, incident beam direction, X‐ray spectrum bandwidth and realistic detector size. Diffraction patterns and reciprocal space nodes are obtained from atomic configurations for different loading (elastic and plastic) and detection conditions, and interpretation of the diffraction patterns is discussed.     

Small‐angle scattering of polychromatic X‐rays: effects of bandwidth,spectral shape and high harmonics

Polychromatic X‐ray sources can be useful for photon‐starved small‐angle X‐ray scattering given their high spectral fluxes. Their bandwidths, however, are 10–100 times larger than those using monochromators. To explore the feasibility, ideal scattering curves of homogeneous spherical particles for polychromatic X‐rays are calculated and analyzed using the Guinier approach, maximum entropy and regularization methods. Monodisperse and polydisperse systems are explored. The influence of bandwidth and asymmetric spectra shape are explored via Gaussian and half‐Gaussian spectra. Synchrotron undulator spectra represented by two undulator sources of the Advanced Photon Source are examined as an example, as regards the influence of asymmetric harmonic shape, fundamental harmonic bandwidth and high harmonics. The effects of bandwidth, spectral shape and high harmonics on particle size determination are evaluated quantitatively.     

Orientation-induced crossover in pinning force density and peak effect in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x single crystal

Magnetization–hysteresis measurements on single crystal of Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+x (Bi-2212) at various temperatures (20–40 K) are reported for different applied field orientations (θ) relative to the unit cell's c-axes. An orientation-induced crossover in the magnitude of the volume pinning force density F_p around θ≥20° is observed which does not conform with predictions of the existing 2D-pancake model. The results further indicate that the `peak-effect' in Bi-2212 is associated with the crossover in the vortex matter from a quasi-lattice to a disordered vortex solid.     

基于同步辐射原位CT的聚氨酯泡沫微观变形机理研究

为揭示聚氨酯泡沫的微观结构性能关系,本文依靠自主研发的微型材料试验机,在美国APS光源2BM线站上搭建了原位CT系统,对闭孔硬质聚氨酯泡沫在准静态压缩加载下的变形损伤行为进行了三维实时表征,分辨率可达0.87μm。通过原位CT试验获取了硬质聚氨酯泡沫的应力应变关系,以及三个变形阶段(弹性、平台、压实)的三维结构演化过程。三维图像显示,在平台段会观察到局部压缩带从样品两端向中间传播的过程,且压缩带传播速度会超过压头速度。同时,利用数字体图像相关技术精确计算了聚氨酯泡沫的三维变形场,表明压缩变形主要集中在变形带内部。通过追踪胞元变形过程并利用表面曲率场来量化胞壁变形,发现胞元坍塌主要源于包壁屈曲形成的褶皱。     

A study of the effect of inertia blocks on the stability of the vibratory system and the performance of vibration isolation

Resilient vibration isolators and inertia blocks are commonly used by building services engineers to isolate vibratory machines in buildings. They are selected in practice according to the force transmissibility method and some crude methods or the experience of building services engineers. These methods, however, can produce inaccurate predictions, and a power transmissibility method has recently been proposed to assess the performance of vibration isolation. In this paper, normalized average vibration velocities and overall rotational velocities are proposed to study the stability of the vibratory system. The result shows that the use of an inertia block primarily does not improve the performance of vibration isolation, but does increase the stability of the vibratory system regardless of whether the machine is of even or uneven mass distribution and whether it is driven by the vibratory force or the rocking moment.     

Pattern formation in the work hardening process of single alloyed γ-Fe crystals

Experimental evidences on the evolution of macrodeformation fields of extended single Cr-Ni austenitic steel crystals having superequilibrium nitrogen content are interpreted in the framework of the autowave model of plastic flow. A prerequisite to the realization of the different types of deformation structure (autowave), i.e. a solitary moving front, a moving (waves) and a stationary periodical dissipative structure, and the best observing conditions are defined. It is shown that the propagation rate of deformation nuclei is found to be inversely proportional to the work hardening coefficient in the linear work hardening stage of the plastic flow.     

The asymptotic laws of shockless strong compression of quasi-one-dimensional gas layers

The solutions of initial-boundary-value problems describing the shockless compression of cylindrically and spherically symmetric layers on an ideal polytropic gas to infinite density are investigated. Attention is also devoted to the quasi-one-dimensional case, when the surface on which the compression takes place is in one-to-one correspondence with the sonic characteristic surface separating the initial background flow and the compression wave. The solutions are expanded in convergent power series in a space of special dependent and independent variables, both in the neighbourhood of the final time. Asymptotic laws of shockless strong compression are found, and it is proved that they are described by curves in the convergence domains of the series. The additional external energy resources required for the transition from the compression of plane layers to that of quasi-one-dimensional layers are shown to be finite, provided that the polytropy index of the gas is not greater than three.     

GAPD: a GPU‐accelerated atom‐based polychromatic diffraction simulation code

GAPD, a graphics‐processing‐unit (GPU)‐accelerated atom‐based polychromatic diffraction simulation code for direct, kinematics‐based, simulations of X‐ray/electron diffraction of large‐scale atomic systems with mono‐/polychromatic beams and arbitrary plane detector geometries, is presented. This code implements GPU parallel computation via both real‐ and reciprocal‐space decompositions. With GAPD, direct simulations are performed of the reciprocal lattice node of ultralarge systems (～5 billion atoms) and diffraction patterns of single‐crystal and polycrystalline configurations with mono‐ and polychromatic X‐ray beams (including synchrotron undulator sources), and validation, benchmark and application cases are presented.
