PMMA动态拉伸破坏实验研究

本文利用Hopkinson压杆系统对PMMA变截面柱锥试样进行冲击加载,研究材料动态拉伸断裂特性和破坏机理.由于PMMA的拉压强度差别不大,采用圆柱状试件难以产生反射拉伸破坏,因此,将试样设计为圆柱锥状,实验时,将试样的圆柱端粘贴于输入杆上.实验结果表明,在一定的撞击速度下,由于应力波的汇聚作用,在试样锥段产生了反射拉伸破坏;当撞击速度较高时,在产生反射拉伸破坏的同时,试件中还产生了银纹区,随着打击速度的提高,银纹区域增大.同时根据断口的SEM观察,研究了材料的破坏机制.     

AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE IMPACT PERFORATION FAILURE OF WATER-FILLED-PRESSURIZED PIPELINES

Some experimental data recorded from impact tests on empty and water-filled pressurized mild steel pipes are presented. The pipes were supported as a three-span continuous beam and impacted laterally by a rigid indenter at the mid-span of middle span. Three kinds of indenter nose shapes were used: blunt-nose, hemisphere-nose and 90?conical-nose. The internal pressure ranged up to 20 MPa. The perforation failure modes and corresponding critical impact energies were obtained under different test conditions. The time-history curves of the internal pressure and impact force were given. The experiments show that the media filled in the tube greatly decreased the ballistic limit energy.

Computational Investigation of Wing Flutter

Numerical aeroelastic simulation of a high-aspect-ratio transport type wing model in transonic region is presented. The aeroelastic responses of the wing are extracted by integrating compressible thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the equations of motion of the wing structure, in a time dependent manner. The Yee-Harten implicit TVD scheme and the Wilson's θ method are employed to integrate these equations, respectively. Flutter boundaries were found for Mach number range, 0.7 to 0.85 and the results were compared with experimental flutter boundaries. Futhermore, Limit Cycle Oscillations were found and the characteristics of the flutter and limit cycle oscillations are investigated and discussed.     

Experimental Investigation of the Velocity Field near a Cylinder in a Contonuously Stratified Fluid

The velocity distributions in the upstream disturbance and lagging wake are measured using markers in the shadow flow pattern near a horizontal cylinder uniformly towed in a stratified fluid. The dimensions of the upstream total blocking zone and the velocity damping laws in the upstream disturbance are determined. On the basis of the experimental results the actual limits of applicability of existing methods of calculating the structure of stratified flow past obstacles are found for small Froude numbers.

Computational and Experimental Investigation of the Development of Turbulent Mixing in a Gas Layering in Passage of a Shock Wave

The experimental data and the results of direct numerical simulation of the flow developed in a constant-cross-section tube in passage of a shock wave through a three-layer gas system are presented. The three-layer systemis formed as a result ofmounting two thin films in the tube and filling the space between them with gases of different densities. The first interface (thin film) makes an angle of 45? with the shock front and the second interface is located in parallel to the front. The shock wave is formed at the left tube end and moves towards the first interface at the Mach number M = 2.4. The results of simulation of the problem are compared with the experimental data.     

Experimental Determination of Lagrangian Velocity Statistics in Turbulent Pipe Flow

The calculation of Lagrangian statistics out of experimentally determined data from homogeneously seeded inhomogeneous turbulent flows is far from straightforward since statistical properties are position-dependent, necessitating local sampling. Two solutions for the preferential sampling of faster particles at a certain position in the flow are proposed. The performance of both methods was tested using DNS calculations for turbulent pipe flow. Both methods show a good performance for various statistical properties, thus providing two reliable ways to analyze experimental data from inhomogeneous turbulent flows.     

Experimental Measurement of Local Burning Velocity Within a Rotating Flow

The work presented in this paper details the implementation of a new technique for the measurement of local burning velocity using asynchronous particle image velocimetry. This technique uses the local flow velocity ahead of the flame front to measure the movement of the flame by the surrounding fluid. This information is then used to quantify the local burning velocity by taking into account the translation of the flame via convection. In this paper the developed technique is used to study the interaction between a flame front and a single toroidal vortex for the case of premixed stoichiometric methane and air combustion. This data is then used to assess the impact of vortex structure on flame propagation rates. The burning velocity data demonstrates that there is a significant enhancement to the rate of flame propagation where the flame directly interacts with the rotating vortex. The increases found were significantly higher than expected but are supported by burning velocities (Filatyev et al, Combust Flame 141:1?C21, 2005; Kobayashi et al, Proc Combust Inst 29:1793?C1800, 2002; Shepherd et al. 1998) found in turbulent flames of the same mixture composition. Away from this interaction with the main vortex core, the flame exhibits propagation rates around the value recorded in literature for unperturbed laminar combustion (Tahtouh et al, Combust Flame 159:1735?C1743, 2009; Hassan et al, Combust Flame 115:539?C550, 1998); Halter et al, Proc Combust Inst 30:201?C208, 2005; Coppens et al, Exp Therm Fluid Sci 31:437?C444, 2007).     

Experimental investigation of interface curing stresses between PMMA and composite using digital speckle correlation method

This paper studies the interface curing stresses between polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and composite by means of digital speckle correlation method (DSCM). A new method by combining DSCM with the marker points is developed to measure the interface curing stresses, and the measurement principle is introduced. The interface curing stresses between PMMA and composite with different curing bonding conditions are measured and analyzed, this indicates that the residual stress for furnace heating and furnace cooling is the smallest. Finally, the measurement error is discussed by means of finite element method, the influences of glass microsphere between adhesive and PMMA can be ignored.     

Experimental and Computational Investigations of Flow and Mixing in a Single-Annular Combustor Configuration

A complementary experimental and computational study of the flow and mixing in a single annular gas turbine combustor has been carried out. The object of the investigation is a generic mixing chamber model, representing an unfolded segment of a simplified Rich-Quick-Lean (RQL) combustion chamber operating under isothermal, non-reacting conditions at ambient pressure. Two configurations without and with secondary air injection were considered. To provide an appropriate reference database several planar optical measurement techniques (time-resolved flow visualisation, PIV, QLS) were used. The PIV measurements have been performed providing profiles of all velocity and Reynolds-stress components at selected locations within the combustor. Application of a two-layer hybrid LES/RANS (HLR) method coupling a near-wall k − ε RANS model with conventional LES in the core flow was the focus of the computational work. In addition to the direct comparison with the experimental results, the HLR performance is comparatively assessed with the results obtained by using conventional LES using the same (coarser) grid as HLR and two eddy-viscosity-based RANS models. The HLR model reproduced all important flow features, in particular with regard to the penetrating behaviour of the secondary air jets, their interaction with the swirled main flow, swirl-induced free recirculation zone evolution and associated precessing-vortex core phenomenon in good agreement with experimental findings.     

Deformation and Failure Modes of Soft Steel Projectiles Impacting Harder Steel Targets at Increasing Velocity

The present paper describes an experimental and numerical study concerning the impact of blunt steel projectiles against harder steel plates, at impact velocities between 200 and 800 m/s. In contrast with previously published observations, three modes of deformation and failure of the soft steel projectiles were observed in the present study. These included: Taylor cylinder mushrooming, sunflower-like petalling and plugging perforation. Individual velocity ranges and the transitions between the deformation/failure modes are identified by both experiments and numerical simulations. Complex material failure mechanisms of projectile and target play conflicting roles in the various penetration stages. Johnson–Cook models of strength and accumulative damage failure are employed in 3D numerical simulation to describe material behavior of both projectile and target. Computational evolutions of each scenario are offered in detail to understand the deformation and failure of projectile and target plate.     

Experimental Investigation of Thermo-Oscillatory Convection

The thermal convection in an air column oscillating with a high frequency in a plane channel whose boundaries are isothermal and have different temperatures is investigated. The experiments were performed for various channel orientations and for a wide range of nondimensional governing parameters, i.e. the gravitational Rayleigh number and the thermo-oscillatory parameter. As follows from the experimental results, for relatively large oscillation amplitudes the latter parameter characterizes the average action of high-frequency oscillations on a non-isothermal incompressible fluid. The regions in which either the thermo-oscillatory or gravitational mechanism of thermal convection predominates are determined. The threshold of excitation of thermo-oscillatory convection under weightlessness conditions is found.     

Quasi-Static and Dynamic Behavior of Saturated Porous Media with Incompressible Constituents

In this paper the field equations governing the dynamic response of a fluid-saturated elastic porous medium are analyzed and built up for the study of quasi-static and dynamical problems like the consolidation problem and wave propagation. The two constituents are assumed to be incompressible. A numerical solution is derived by means of the standard Galerkin procedure and the finite element method.     

A Computational Fluid Dynamic Investigation of Inhomogeneous Hydrogen Flame Acceleration and Transition to Detonation

Gas explosions in homogeneous reactive mixtures have been widely studied both experimentally and numerically. However, in practice and industrial applications, combustible mixtures are usually inhomogeneous and subject to vertical concentration gradients. Limited studies have been conducted in such context which resulted in limited understanding of the explosion characteristics in such situations. The present numerical investigation aims to study the dynamics of Deflagration to Detonation Transition (DDT) in inhomogeneous hydrogen/air mixtures and examine the effects of obstacle blockage ratio in DDT. VCEFoam, a reactive density-based solver recently assembled by the authors within the frame of OpenFOAM CFD toolbox has been used. VCEFoam uses the Harten–Lax–van Leer–Contact (HLLC) scheme fr the convective fluxes contribution and shock capturing. The solver has been verified by comparing its predictions with the analytical solutions of two classical test cases. For validation, the experimental data of Boeck et al. (1) is used. The experiments were conducted in a rectangular channel the three different blockage ratios and hydrogen concentrations. Comparison is presented between the predicted and measured flame tip velocities. The shaded contours of the predicted temperature and numerical Schlieren (magnitude of density gradient) will be analysed to examine the effects of the blockage ratio on flame acceleration and DDT.     

Determination of Bond Strengths in Non-woven Fabrics: a Combined Experimental and Computational Approach

Interfiber bonds are important structural components in non-woven fabrics. Bond fracture greatly affects the strength and damage progression in a fiber network structure. Here, we present a novel combined experimental and computational approach to extract bond strengths in non-wovens. In this method, a small specimen is imaged and the obtained 3D geometry of the network is directly modeled in a finite element framework. Bond properties are determined by matching finite element simulation predicted mechanical response to the experimental data. This method is demonstrated by applying it to six specimens of a commercial polypropylene non-woven. A four parameter bi-linear interface law is used with normal stiffness k, shear stiffness βk, separation at the start of damage d ₁, and separation at total loss of bond stiffness d ₂. The determined normal strength (kd ₁)and shear strength (βkd ₁) are (1.3 ± 0.3) × 10² MPa and (1.0 ± 0.2) × 10² MPa, respectively. To show that the obtained bond parameters can be applied to a new specimen, a cross validation is conducted whereby parameters are fit from five specimens and then evaluated on the sixth. Additional validation of the obtained bond strength parameters was conducted with larger size artificial network simulations and peel tests. The proposed method in this work carries the dual advantages of characterizing actual bonds in a non-woven and characterizing hundreds of bonds simultaneously. The method can be applied to a variety of non-woven fabrics that are bonded at fiber-fiber intersections.

Experimental Determination of the Burning Velocity of Mixtures of n-Heptane and Toluene in Engine-like Conditions

Although the burning velocities of fuel-air mixtures have been extensively studied at room temperature and pressure, there is relatively little experimental information available for elevated temperatures and pressures (the so-called engine like conditions). Therefore, the main aim of the present work is to generate accurate experimental burning velocities valid over a range of high unburned gas temperatures and pressures of a variety of mixtures of n-heptane and toluene, varying its proportion by 25% in volume each time. Two experimental combustion facilities have been used and their results compared. One facility consists of a constant volume cylindrical bomb in which Schlieren images can be recorded and used to calculate the flame front development. The second facility is a spherical combustion bomb with centred ignition in which burning velocities are calculated from pressure records by means of a two-zone model. In order to check that the pressure method is reliable, experiments with n-heptane at room temperature and pressure for different equivalence ratios carried out in the spherical combustion bomb were compared with the ones obtained at the same conditions in the cylindrical vessel equipped with the Schlieren technique. Once the validity has been checked, extensive experiments have been carried out for widely varying initial conditions of pressure between 0.3 and 0.7?MPa, temperature between 363?K and 453?K and equivalence ratios from 0.8 to 1.1. Over the ranges studied, by removing the influence of the ignition energy at the earliest stages of combustion and the quenching effects at the later ones, the burning velocities are fitted by a correlation of type $ Cc=Cc_{r}\cdot (T_{ub}/T_{r})^{\varepsilon }\cdot (P/P_{r})^{\beta } $ , where Cc _r , ?? and ?? depend on the equivalence ratio. The ranges of validity of the correlations obtained cover from 370?K to 700?K, from 0.3?MPa to 4.5?MPa, and from 0.8 to 1.1 equivalence ratio. A comparison with previous predicted values is also given.

在不同进口导叶预旋角度下,采用非定常的方法对进口导叶/叶轮/扩压器三部件之间非定常相干进行了数值与实验研究,探讨了三部件之间动静相干的机理.结果表明,在进口导叶/叶轮/扩压器三部件相干时,最大的脉动压力出现在叶轮和扩压器之间的动静交界面上.当进口导叶预旋角度存在时,叶轮与扩压器之间无叶区内的非定常流动以叶轮叶片通过频率和1/2叶片通过频率为基频;而当扩压器进口安装角增大时,径向间隙内的流动则主要以1/2叶片通过频率为基频.在不同的配置下,湍流强度和非定常度均有朝向轮盘增加的趋势.在进口导叶正预旋60°同扩压器进口安装角为17°时的配置有增大湍流强度和非定常度的趋势.     

Dynamic and Quasi-Static Propagation of Compaction Waves in a Low-Density Epoxy Foam

We conducted dynamic and quasi-static compression experiments with low-density (ρ = 120 kg/m³) epoxy foam specimens. The specimens had a 10.0-mm-square cross-section and a length of 19.3 mm. Dynamic experiments were conducted with a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), and the quasi-static experiments were conducted with a hydraulic load frame device (MTS-810). In both cases, the specimens were loaded from one end at a constant velocity. Equally spaced grid lines were marked on the specimens to monitor the deformation history. Digital images taken at equally spaced time intervals gave the positions of each grid line. These images showed that a constant end-face velocity V produced a compaction wave front that traveled at a constant velocity C in both dynamic and quasi-static experiments. We described these results with a shockwave analysis that used a locking solid material model.
