超声波燃气表矩形流道的雷诺修正系数仿真研究

在超声波流量计测量技术中, 雷诺修正系数相关的研究对于提高计量精度有重要作用. 为研究矩形流道的雷诺修正系数与雷诺数的关系, 对矩形流道在常温常压流量较小情况下进行仿真, 结果发现: 矩形流道层流状态下的雷诺修正系数与雷诺数呈线性相关. 保持压强、体积流量不变, 在不同温度下进行仿真及拟合, 结果表明: 在不同温度下雷诺修正系数与雷诺数的线性关系依然满足. 在上述实验基础上, 对矩形流道湍流状态下的雷诺修正系数与雷诺数关系进行研究, 通过改变温度、压强和体积流量进行仿真及拟合发现, 矩形流道湍流状态下雷诺修正系数与雷诺数呈非线性相关.

A Modular Peel Fixture for Tape Peel Tests on Immovable Substrates

Background

Peel tests are frequently used to perform measurements of adhesive strength for pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes. Current lab methodologies for 90° peel tests translate the model substrate orthogonally to the peel direction in order to maintain the peel angle, precluding testing from immovable substrates.

Objective

It was our objective to develop a peel fixture capable of testing temporary pavement marking (TPM) tapes and other PSA tapes from immovable substrates such as roadways surfaces.

Methods

We present a modular peel fixture for conducting peel experiments directly on immovable substrates. The fixture was validated through a series of peel tests on consumer tapes to reproduce the linear width dependence and viscoelastic rate dependence found in traditional peeling setups. To test the capabilities of the fixture, a series of peel tests were conducted with various tapes on controlled surfaces, and a commercial tape on various immovable substrates.

Results

We demonstrate the ability of our fixture to reproduce results reported for traditional peel tests from literature. In addition, we were able to conduct peel tests directly on immovable substrates such as the benchtop.

Conclusions

This fixture shows potential for both traditional peeling tests, and for use in in-situ peel experiments from substrates relevant to the end application of the PSA tape.

Well-posedness of two pseudo-parabolic problems for electrical conduction in heterogeneous media

We prove a well-posedness result for two pseudo-parabolic problems, which can be seen as two models for the same electrical conduction phenomenon in heterogeneous media, neglecting the magnetic field. One of the problems is the concentration limit of the other one, when the thickness of the dielectric inclusions goes to zero. The concentrated problem involves a transmission condition through interfaces, which is mediated by a suitable Laplace-Beltrami type equation.
