We introduce a multidimensional peridynamic formulation for transient heat-transfer. The model does not contain spatial derivatives and uses instead an integral over a region around a material point. By construction, the formulation converges to the classical heat transfer equations in the limit of the horizon (the nonlocal region around a point) going to zero. The new model, however, is suitable for modeling, for example, heat flow in bodies with evolving discontinuities such as growing insulated cracks. We introduce the peridynamic heat flux which exists even at sharp corners or when the isotherms are not smooth surfaces. The peridynamic heat flux coincides with the classical one in simple cases and, in general, it converges to it in the limit of the peridynamic horizon going to zero. We solve test problems and compare results with analytical solutions of the classical model or with other numerical solutions. Convergence to the classical solutions is seen in the limit of the horizon going to zero. We then solve the problem of transient heat flow in a plate in which insulated cracks grow and intersect thus changing the heat flow patterns. We also model heat transfer in a fiber-reinforced composite and observe transient but steep thermal gradients at the interfaces between the highly conductive fibers and the low conductivity matrix. Such thermal gradients can lead to delamination cracks in composites from thermal fatigue. The formulation may be used to, for example, evaluate effective thermal conductivities in bodies with an evolving distribution of insulating or permeable, possibly intersecting, cracks of arbitrary shapes. 相似文献
Summary: The integration of gradients of enzyme activity in microstructured biosensor arrays enables intrinsic on‐line quality control of biosensor performance. Multiple sensor elements with different compositions and hence varying responses for the same analyte are evaluated as a basis for improving data reliability. The formation of glucose oxidase/polymer microstructures using a piezo microdispenser and their examination by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) are used to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach.

We report about the synthesis of carbon nanotubes by catalytic LCVD (C-LCVD), using a CW CO2 laser and alternatively, C2H2/C2H4/NH3 and C2H2/C2H4-containing gas mixtures. Different core–shell Fe–C nanocomposites (as synthesized and toluene extracted) were used employed as catalysts. The nanotubes grown from Fe–C residue demonstrate the lowest mean diameters. Prevalent curled and coiled morphologies are obtained for the CNTs grown in the presence of ammonia. 相似文献
Double incorporation of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions into a CaWO4 crystalline lattice modifies the luminescence spectrum due to the formation of new emission centers. Depending on the activators concentration and nature, as well as on the interaction between the activators themselves, the luminescence color can be varied within the entire range of the visible spectrum. Variable luminescence was obtained when CaWO4:Eu,Tb phosphors with 0-5 mol% activator ions were exposed to relatively low excitation energies as UV (365 and 254 nm). Under high energy excitation such as VUV (147 nm) radiation or electron beam, white light has been observed.This material with controlled properties seems to be promising for the applications in fluorescent lamps, colored lightning for advertisement industries, and other optoelectronic devices. 相似文献
In this study, the kinetics of thiophene (TH) hydrodesulfurization (HDS) over the Mo–Co–Ni-supported catalyst was investigated. Trimetallic catalyst was synthesized by pore volume impregnation and the metal loadings were 11.5 wt % Mo, 2 wt % Co, and 2 wt % Ni. A large surface area of 243 m2/g and a relatively large pore volume of 0.34 cm3/g for the fresh Mo–Co–Ni-supported catalyst indicate a good accessibility to the catalytic centers for the HDS reaction. The acid strength distribution of the fresh and spent catalysts, as well as for the support, was determined by thermal desorption of diethylamine (DEA) with increase in temperature from 20 to 600 °C. The weak acid centers are obtained within a temperature range between 160 and 300 °C, followed by medium acid sites up to 440 °C. The strong acid centers are revealed above 440 °C. We found a higher content of weak acid centers for fresh and spent catalysts as well as alumina as compared to medium and strong acid sites. The catalyst stability in terms of conversion as a function of time on stream in a fixed bed flow reactor was examined and almost no loss in the catalyst activity was observed. Consequently, this fact demonstrated superior activity of the Mo–Co–Ni-based catalyst for TH HDS. The activity tests by varying the temperature from 200 to 275 °C and pressure from 30 to 60 bar with various space velocities of 1–4 h?1 were investigated. A Langmuir–Hinshelwood model was used to analyze the kinetic data and to derive activation energy and adsorption parameters for TH HDS. The effect of temperature, pressure, and liquid hourly space velocity on the TH HDS activity was studied. 相似文献
