不同温度热处理后砂岩三点弯曲的断裂特性

通过三点弯曲试验研究了不同温度影响下小尺度砂岩试件的断裂特性,证实温度的影响是明显的.125℃是个临界温度点,此时不仅砂岩的平均断裂韧性达到最大值,而且这时砂岩的裂纹扩展模式也发生了根本性的变化,即低温(低于125℃)热处理后砂岩的断裂以沿颗粒断裂机制为主;而高温(大于125℃)热处理后的砂岩的断裂以破断颗粒和沿颗粒的混合断裂机制为主.在100℃-150℃的温度范围内,砂岩的力学特性变得不稳定,这可能是由于粘土物质内部部分吸附水及层间水的蒸发使得粘土物质孔隙结构发生了变化及力学行为变得不稳定所造成的.从125℃到600℃,砂岩的断裂韧性整体有下降趋势,有约50%的降幅,这不仅与温度影响了粘土物质与矿物的胶结情况有关,也与高温处理后砂岩表面出现的热开裂有关,还与因矿物颗粒及粘土物质的热学性质差异导致冷却后存在的残余应力相关.     

Low-complexity differentiator-based decentralized fault-tolerant control of uncertain large-scale nonlinear systems with unknown dead zone

This paper investigates a low-complexity robust decentralized fault-tolerant prescribed performance control scheme for uncertain larger-scale nonlinear systems with consideration of the unknown nonlinearity, actuator failures, dead-zone input, and external disturbance. Firstly, a new simple finite-time-convergent differentiator is developed to obtain the unmeasurable state variables with arbitrary accuracy. Then, a time-varying sliding manifold involving the output tracking error and its high-order derivatives is constructed to tackle the high-order dynamics of subsystems. Sequentially, a robust decentralized fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed for each sliding manifold with prescribed convergence rate. The prominent advantage of the proposed fault-tolerant control scheme is that any specialized approximation technique, disturbance observer, and recursive procedure of backstepping technique are avoided, which dramatically alleviates the complexity of controller design. Finally, two groups of illustrative examples are employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the low-complexity decentralized fault-tolerant control scheme under the developed finite-time-convergent differentiator.

A Novel Algorithm for Backward-Pumped Raman Amplifier

In this article, a novel semi-analytical algorithm for calculating backward-pumped Raman amplifier is proposed. The algorithm does not need iteration and can greatly save computational time. Simulation results for Raman amplifiers with 25 km, 50 km, and 100 km fibers show that the accuracy of the method is quite satisfying in comparison with the shooting algorithm and the deviation is within 0.02 dB.     

Numerical analysis of Raman amplification and optical signal-to-noise ratio in a photonic crystal fiber

A numerical design on the triangular photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based backward multi-pump Raman amplifier is presented. It is demonstrated that high flat Raman gain can be reached based on PCF.Influences of different geometric parameters and germanium doping concentrations on the Raman net gain, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise and double Rayleigh backscattering (DRBS) of the signal have been analyzed. For optimizing crystal fiber Raman amplifier (FRA), there is tradeoff between the geometric parameter and germanium doping concentration of triangular PCF. The results show that PCF is an appropriate candidate for high gain Raman amplifiers.     

Synthesis of optically active poly(N‐propargylsulfamides) with helical conformation

A novel chiral N‐propargylsulfamide monomer ( 1a ) and its enantiomer ( 1b ) were synthesized and polymerized with (nbd)Rh⁺B^?(C₆H₅)₄ as a catalyst providing poly(1) (poly( 1a ) and poly( 1b )) in high yields (≥99%). Poly(1) could take stable helices in less polar solvents (chloroform and THF), demonstrated by strong circular dichroism signals and UV–vis absorption peaks at about 415 nm and the large specific rotations; but in more polar solvents including DMF and DMSO, poly(1) failed to form helix. Quantitative evaluation with anisotropy factor showed that the helical screw sense had a relatively high thermal stability. These results together with the IR spectra measured in solvents showed that hydrogen bonding between the neighboring sulfamide groups is one of the main driving forces for poly(1) to adopt stable helices. In addition, copolymerization of monomer 1a and monomer 2 was conducted, the solubility of poly(1) was improved drastically. However, the copolymerization had adverse effects on the formation of stable helices in the copolymers. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 500–508, 2007     

Determination of trace water in gas samples by an improved Karl Fischer coulometer.

The determination of trace water in gas samples, such as isobutene, chloromethane (polymeric staple gases) and SF6 by a conventional Karl Fischer coulometer is very difficult, because of the adsorption of trace water on the surface of sample pipe, the gasification of the liquefied samples, and the migration of moisture into the measuring cell from the surroundings. To solve these problems, we improved a device for coulometric determination of water by Karl Fischer method. The improved coulometer was used to determine the trace water in isobutene, chloromethane and SF6; RSD was less than 5%, and recoveries ranged from 94.1 to 109.1%, which is adequate for the analysis of industry.

Structure stability of polyaniline/graphene nanocomposites in gamma-ray environment

The poor structure stability of graphene limits its application as radical scavenger under γ-rays environment because of short service life. Hence we applied polyaniline (PANI), a fairly stable material under irradiation, to modify graphene and then obtained the PANI functionalized graphene oxide (PGO). According to TEM and BET data, the structure stability of PGO is much better than GO after 500 kGy irradiation doses. Electron spin spectroscopy data reveal that PGNS_0.10 (PGO/PANI coatings, 0.10 wt%) are not almost affected by adverse influence comes from active radicals. Then PGNS_0.10 exhibits the excellent corrosion protection performance after 500 kGy irradiation doses.
