INTERACTION OF A SPHERICAL SHOCK WAVE AND A SUBMERGED FLUID-FILLED CIRCULAR CYLINDRICAL SHELL

The complete three-dimensional interaction between a spherical shock wave and a submerged fluid-filled elastic circular cylindrical shell is considered. A hybrid analytical-numerical solving procedure is established. An exact analytical solution in the form of double Fourier series with time-depending coefficients is obtained for the hydrodynamic pressure. Displacements of a shell are approached analytically to reduce the problem to a set of systems of ordinary differential equations, which are treated numerically. Detailed analysis of the interaction is performed with emphasis given to the stress-strain state. A few important features of the interaction process have been found. In particular, it has been shown that the interior fluid not only substantially affects the magnitude of displacements and stresses, but also dramatically changes the nature of the interaction. It has been found that the absolute maximum of stresses can neither be caused by a direct action of a shock wave nor by a constructive superpose of elastic waves in the shell, but by the pressure wave propagating in the interior fluid. This fact seems to be of essential importance for engineering applications, especially when safety is a primary design concern. Another important result is that the maximum stresses are attained at large times, which makes use of early time asymptotics leading to incorrect results. The proposed semi-analytical approach seems to be computationally attractive and suitable for extensive numerical simulations.     

Miscibility of bisphenol-A polycarbonate with poly(methyl methacrylate)

The miscibility of bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been reexamined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and optical indications for phase separation on heating, i.e., lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. Various methods have been used to prepare the blends including methylene chloride (CH₂Cl₂) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution casting, melt mixing, and precipitation of PC and PMMA simultaneously from THF solution by using the nonsolvents methanol and heptane. It is shown that the resulting phase behavior for PC/PMMA blends is strongly affected by the blend preparation method. However, these blends are miscible over the whole blend composition range (unambiguous single composition-dependent T_g's and LCST behavior) when prepared by precipitation from solution using heptane as the nonsolvent. To the contrary, solution-cast and melt-mixed PC/PMMA blends were all phase separated, which may be attributed to the “solvent” effect and LCST behavior, respectively, not discovered in previous reports. Methanol precipitation does not lead to fully mixed blends, which demonstrates the importance of the choice of nonsolvent when using the precipitation method.     

As+注入硅的紫外-可见椭圆偏振光谱

本文采用椭圆偏振光谱法研究了剂量为1×10¹⁶—3×10¹²cm^-2的As⁺注入硅,及其在700℃退火后的光学性质。得出:当As⁺注入剂量增大到某一程度后,便呈非晶特性。低于临界剂量的样品,其n-λ,ε₂-λ关系曲线随剂量的增大而往下方移动,呈有规律变化;退火后,在大于4000?波段,n-λ与ε₂-λ曲线基本恢复到单晶硅状态。但在小于4000?的紫外区却未完全恢复,注入剂量越大,偏离单晶硅就越大。并指出,紫外光区是离子注入硅的信息敏感区;用有效质量模型计算出注入剂量与损伤度的关系。计算结果与实验符合得较好。 关键词：     

High-temperature expansions to fifteenth order

High-temperature series expansions of the susceptibility and second moment to 15th order are calculated for zero external field on the linear chain (LC), plane square (PSQ), simple cubic (SC), and body-centered cubic (BCC) lattices. Checks for specific models against pertinent work in the literature are detailed.     

Vibrational spectra and ab initio computations of sarcosinium oxalate monohydrate

Single crystals of sarcosinium oxalate monohydrate (SOM) are grown by the slow-evaporation technique at ambient temperature, and vibrational spectroscopic analysis is carried out using NIR-FT Raman, FT-IR, and SERS spectra. The normal mode frequencies and corresponding vibrational analysis of SOM are examined theoretically using the Gaussian’98 set of quantum chemical codes. The two bands present in the SOM ν C=O region, clearly observed in the Raman spectrum, are assigned to “free” and “bonded” carbonyl groups with the hydrogen atom. Vibrational analysis indicates the presence of C-H—O hydrogen bonding interaction producing a blueshift of the C-H stretching frequency.

Conjugate addition of pyrroles to α,β-unsaturated ketones using copper bromide as a catalyst

Copper bromide was used as a catalyst for the addition of pyrroles to enones. When both the reactants were used in equimolar amounts, mono and dialkylated products were obtained. However, the use of excess enone furnished only dialkylated products. Thus, copper bromide was shown to be an efficient catalyst for the dialkylation of pyrroles.     

Carbon nanotube based bolometer

The contacts of single carbon nanotubes and bundles of carbon nanotubes with superconducting and metallic electrodes are investigated in order to create bolometers and electron coolers. Tunneling contacts of the carbon nanotubes with aluminum electrodes are obtained. The current-voltage characteristics of junctions are analyzed for temperatures from room temperature to 300 mK. The resistance of individual nanotubes is primarily determined by defects and is too large for applications. The use of the bundles of carbon nanotubes makes it possible to considerably reduce the resistance of the bolometer, which is determined by a small number of conducting tubes with good tunneling contacts with the electrodes. The energy gap is equal to hundreds and tens of millivolt in the former and latter cases, respectively. Structures containing bundles of carbon nanotubes can be described in a model with a Schottky barrier. The samples with bundles of carbon nanotubes exhibit the bolometric response to external high-frequency radiation at a frequency of 110 GHz with an amplitude up to 100 μV and a temperature voltage response to 0.4 mV/K.
