双曲冷却塔塔筒水平地震响应分析

为明确冷却塔在水平地震下的内力环向分布特征及内在原因,同时探究不同地震波时程与规范反应谱所得内力差异的原因,以某大型双曲冷却塔为例,在动力特性分析的基础上,通过反应谱方法和时程方法的水平地震响应计算及对比分析,对上述两个问题进行了研究。研究表明:由于仅侧弯振型对水平地震有贡献,而塔筒的侧弯振型和实际响应均表现为整体侧倾并伴随微弱的截面“流动”变形,这也使塔筒各内力的环向分布分别呈现正弦、余弦分布特征;其整体侧倾可类比于悬臂杆结构,塔筒子午向轴力FY、子午向弯矩MY、剪力FXY和扭矩MXY的环向分布可借助悬臂杆侧倾时截面正应力和剪应力分布来解释;而截面“流动”变形则决定了环向轴力FX和环向弯矩MX的环向分布;整体侧移显著而截面变形极小也使FY和FXY的幅值在塔筒中下部明显大于FX;由于冷却塔第1阶侧弯振型在水平地震响应中往往起绝对主导作用,因此可先对所选地震波计算得到其反应谱,对比第1阶侧弯振型周期对应的水平地震影响系数α值,即可初步推断不同时程及规范反应谱方法所得结果的大小关系。

LEONARDO DA VINCI AND FLUID MECHANICS 1)

旷世全才列奥纳多·达·芬奇(Leonardo da Vinci),被世人誉为画家、雕刻家、天文学家、发明家、音乐家、数学家、解剖学家、生理学家、地质学家、植物学家、作家、军事、建筑工程和制图师,是意大利文艺复兴时期人文主义的代表人物。本文对其流体力学相关思想及湍流、飞行、波浪和风暴等几个方面的研究贡献进行梳理,认为他是流体力学科学研究的先驱和奠基人,也是一位“流体力学家”。     

An interview with Sam C. Saunders

Sam C. Saunders, the son of Elizabeth Cundiff and Winston E. Saunders, was born in Richland, OR, on February 24, 1931. The family moved to La Grande, OR, in 1944, where Sam completed high school and two years at Eastern Oregon College. He then received the BSc degree in Mathematics from the University of Oregon, Eugene, OR, in 1952, and he attended the University of Washington, Seattle, WA, receiving a PhD degree under Z. W. Birnbaum. After graduating, he accepted employment at the Boeing Company in its Mathematical Services Unit and, in 1972, a position as a Full Professor at Washington State University, Pullman, WA, from which he retired in 1996.     

Mildred Dresselhaus and Solid State Pedagogy at MIT

Mildred Dresselhaus is known for her influential research on the physics of carbon. Her wide‐ranging influence as a physics teacher, although well‐known to her students, has been less thoroughly examined. Exploring how Dresselhaus grew into her role teaching solid state physics at MIT reveals much about how that subfield evolved.

The Story Behind the Link between Molecular Chirality and Crystal Shape

Here we describe the story behind the link between molecular chirality and macroscopic phenomena, the latter being a probe for the direct assignment of absolute configuration of chiral molecules. First, a brief tour of the history of molecular stereochemistry, starting with the classic experiment reported by Pasteur in 1848 on the separation of enantiomorphous crystals of a salt of tartaric acid, and his conclusion that the molecules of life are chiral of single-handedness. With time, this study raised, inter alia, two fundamental questions: the absolute configuration of chiral molecules and how a molecule of given configuration shapes the enantiomorphous morphology of its crystal. As for the first question, following the beginning of crystal structure determination by X-ray diffraction in 1912, it took almost 40 years before Bijvoet assigned molecular chirality through the esoteric method involving anomalous X-ray scattering. We have been able to address and link both questions through ‘everyday concepts of left and right’ (in the words of Jack Dunitz) by the use of ‘tailor-made’ auxiliaries. By such means, it proved possible to reveal, through morphology, etch patterns, epitaxy and symmetry reduction of both chiral and, paradoxically, centrosymmetric crystals, the basic chiral symmetry of the molecules of life, the α-amino acids and sugars.     

溯源辨析“活化分子”概念在化学教材中的角色定位*

“活化分子”作为国内化学教育领域广为人知的科学概念,在各类相关化学教材中都有介绍。然而在国外多种经典化学教材中却完全没有“活化分子”的概念,反映出国内外化学教育领域对化学反应速率理论相关知识点的处理上存在明显的差异与分歧。通过溯源关键历史文献,回顾了“活化分子”概念的形成及其在化学反应速率理论发展过程中的角色演变,指出“活化分子”概念已经退出反应速率理论的舞台,在教材中应更多地呈现其在科学史方面的价值,而不是科学价值。     

Friedel-Crafts:伟大的反应与伟大的合作者*

傅克反应(Friedel-Crafts Reaction)是迄今为止最古老、应用最长久的碳-碳键形成反应之一,广泛应用于医药、染料、石油等化学工业的各个分支。自1877年被发现以来,傅克反应已经发展成为最经典的有机反应之一,被写进现代有机化学教科书。跟其他重大化学发现类似,傅克反应的发现过程也充满着惊喜和意外,折射出化学家敏锐的洞察力和非同寻常的逻辑推理能力。本文通过整理一些早期的国内外文献和相关化学史料,简述了傅克反应发现的历史背景、发现过程,回顾了两位化学家查理斯·傅列德尔(Charles Friedel)和杰姆斯·克拉夫茨(James Crafts)的一些重要成长经历以及他们接近40年的伟大合作历程。     

Effects of Relative Permeability History Dependence on Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media

Hysteresis phenomena in multi-phase flow in porous media has been recognized by many researchers and widely believed to have significant effects on the flow. In an attempt to account for these effects, a theoretical model for history-dependent relative permeabilities is considered. This model is incorporated into 1-D two-phase nondiffusive flow system and the corresponding flow is predicted. Flow history is observed to have a notable impact on the saturation profile and fluids breakthrough.
