Tightly coupled aeroelastic model implementation dedicated to fast aeroelastic tailoring optimisation of high aspect ratio composite wing

This paper presents the development of a code, called GEBTAero, dedicated to very flexible aircraft (VFA) aeroelasticity and especially the evaluation of aeroelastic tailoring effect on critical speeds. GEBTAero is an open source code consisting in a tightly coupling between a geometrically exact beam theory -and a finite state induced flow unsteady aerodynamic model, including an homogenisation tool. This model has been implemented in Fortran using GEBT code and optimised open source libraries with particular focus on computation speed. Besides a non linear transient dynamic simulation capacity, a particular focus is put on the fast critical speed computation strategy using a non-iterative modal approach about the geometrically non linear deformed shape of the wing with the computation of only a few aeroelastic modes. Computation speed and accuracy of this implementation is assessed using widely used aeroelastic test cases and compared successfully to other aeroelastic codes. Configurations using aeroelastic tailoring, which are the core target of this solver, are then evaluated numerically on a representative high aspect ratio anisotropic composite wing and a simple 2-ply composite laminates with both variable ply orientations. It illustrates the strong correlation between the structural bending/twisting coupling of an unbalanced composite laminates and its critical aeroelastic speed. It also shows the high sensitivity of ply orientation on the aeroelastic behaviour.     

Fractal dimension and phase transition of graphene oxide (GO) doped polyacrylamide

Graphene Oxide (GO)- Polyacrylamide composites prepared between 5 and 50 μl GO were performed by Fluorescence Spectroscopy. The phase transition performed on the composites was measured by calculating the critical exponents, β and γ, respectively. In addition, fractal analysis of the composites was calculated by a fluorescence intensity of 427 nm. The geometrical distribution of GO in the composites was calculated based on the power law exponent values using scaling models. While the gelation proceeded GO plates first organized themselves into a 3D percolation cluster with the fractal dimension (D_f) of the composite, D_f = 2.63, then After it goes to diffusion limited clusters with D_f = 1.4, its dimension lines up to a Von Koch curve with a random interval of D_f = 1.14.     

Fatigue Behavior of Composite Sandwich Panels Under Three Point Bending Load

In this paper, the bending fatigue tests of honeycomb sandwich panels are carried out by using an improved three-point bending test fixture, and the S-N curves at different stress ratios are obtained. Through the records of fatigue damage in the experiment, the failure mode of the honeycomb sandwich panels and the source of fatigue damage are determined. At the same time, through the calculation of the shear stress distribution on the honeycomb wall, the reasons for the difference in the failure morphology of the L-direction and W-direction sandwich panels are clarified. Besides, a life prediction method is proposed and its effectiveness in predicting the fatigue life of sandwich panels has been verified.     

Flume testing of passively adaptive composite tidal turbine blades under combined wave and current loading

The tidal energy industry is progressing rapidly, but there are still barriers to overcome to realise the commercial potential of this sector. Large magnitude and highly variable loads caused by waves acting on the turbine are of particular concern. Composite blades with in-built bend-twist elastic response may reduce these peak loads, by passively feathering with increasing thrust. This could decrease capital costs by lowering the design loads, and improve robustness through the mitigation of pitch mechanisms. In this study, the previous research is extended to examine the performance of bend-twist blades in combined wave–current flow, which will frequently be encountered in the field. A scaled 3 bladed turbine was tested in the flume at IFREMER with bend-twist composite blades and equivalent rigid blades, sequentially under current and co-directional wave–current cases. In agreement with previous research, when the turbine was operating in current alone at higher tip speed ratios the bend-twist blades reduced the mean thrust and power compared to the rigid blades. Under the specific wave–current condition tested the average loads were similar on both blade sets. Nevertheless, the bend-twist blades substantially reduced the magnitudes of the average thrust and torque fluctuations per wave cycle, by up to 10% and 14% respectively.     

Molecular dynamic study of dielectric polarization and ferroelectricity in a model polar polymer

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to explore the polarization response of a lamellar crystal consisting of folded chains of a highly simplified model polar polymer. The system is based on a united atom model of polyethylene with constrained bond lengths and bond angles, and it is endowed with artificial partial charges placed on the united atoms to give it a simple polar character. Simulations performed with various temperatures, electric field directions, and electric field application histories reveal a complicated sequence of reorientation processes, including pronounced ferroelectric behavior. The sequence includes a weak, temperature‐independent prompt response, and a slow‐rising delay regime with stretched exponential behavior and thermally‐activated reorientation parameters consistent with trans‐gauche (TG) barrier crossings in the amorphous phase. When the delay regime has progressed sufficiently, a primary large‐amplitude response due to organized rotation of large subsegments in the crystalline phase occurs in a rapid manner that requires relatively few TG barrier crossings. A final, extremely slow rise in residual polarization completes the sequence. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym. Phys. 2015 , 53, 740–759     

Preparation of magnetic Fe3O4/TiO2/Ag composite microspheres with enhanced photocatalytic activity

The novel three-component Fe₃O₄/TiO₂/Ag composite mircospheres were prepared via a facile chemical deposition route. The Fe₃O₄/TiO₂ mircospheres were first prepared by the solvothermal method, and then Ag nanoparticles were anchored onto the out-layer of TiO₂ by the tyrosine-reduced method. The as-prepared magnetic Fe₃O₄/TiO₂/Ag composite mircospheres were applied as photocatalysis for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue. The results indicate that the photocatalytic activity of Fe₃O₄/TiO₂/Ag composite microspheres is superior to that of Fe₃O₄/TiO₂ due to the dual effects of the enhanced light absorption and reduction of photoelectron–hole pair recombination in TiO₂ with the introduction of Ag NPs. Moreover, these magnetic Fe₃O₄/TiO₂/Ag composite microspheres can be completely removed from the dispersion with the help of magnetic separation and reused with little or no loss of catalytic activity.     

The influence of environmental conditions on the dimensional stability of components injected with PA6 and PA66

The design of assembly components requires special attention to aspects related to their dimensions to ensure their functionality. The goal of this paper is to analyse the influence of case-based environmental conditions, including extreme hydrothermal conditions, on the dimensional stability of a component made from different polyamides throughout the component's working life. The results support the conclusion that components made from PA6 have a higher capacity to absorb humidity than those made from PA66 and, on the other hand, a higher capacity to lose this humidity, which implies a more significant effect on the average error in the dimensions considered (12% for PA6 in comparison to 3% for PA66). With regard to assembly dimensions, components remain within dimensional tolerances under average and extreme humidity conditions and average temperature conditions. Components injected with P66 are more stable for all of the situations analysed.     

Mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the twisted graphene nanoribbons

Molecular dynamics method was used to simulate the twists of four GNRs (graphene nanoribbons), two AGNRs (armchair GNRs), and two ZGNRs (zigzag GNRs). Thermal conductivity of the length-fixing GNRs under torsion and at high temperature was calculated. It is found that the ZGNRs have better torsional rigidity than the AGNRs; under the torsional deformation of 34.2°/nm local buckling occurs in the length-fixing GNRs, and under the deformation of 22.8°/nm overall buckling occurs in the ones with free-length. In the range of investigated twist-angle and temperature, the thermal conductivity of the length-fixing GNRs decreases with the increase of torsional deformation and temperature. The wider GNRs have better anti-torsion capability and thermal conductivity.     

Asymptotic behavior toward the combination of contact discontinuity with rarefaction waves for 1-D compressible viscous gas with radiation

This paper is concerned with the large-time behavior toward the combination of two rarefaction waves and viscous contact wave for the Cauchy problem to a one-dimensional Navier–Stokes–Poisson coupled system, modeling the dynamics of a viscous gas in the presence of radiation. We show that the composite wave with small strength is asymptotically stable under partially large initial perturbations. The proofs are based on the more refined energy estimates to control the possible growth of the perturbations induced by two different waves and large data.
