EFFECT OF Z-PINS'' DIAMETER, SPACING AND OVERLAP LENGTH ON CONNECTING PERFORMANCE OF CMC SINGLE LAP JOINT

The effect of through-thickness reinforcement by composite pins (Z-pins) on the static tensile strength and failure mechanisms of the joints made from ceramic matrix composite (CMC) is investigated.Overlap length of the single lap joint is 15 mm,20 mm,23 mm,37 mm,and 60 mm,respectively.The experimcntal results indicate that the final failure modes of the joints can be divided into twó groups,(a) the bond-line stops debonding until crack encounters Z-pins;and then the adherends break at the location of Z-pins,when overlap length is more than 20 mm;(b) the bond-line detaches entirely and Z-pins are drawn from adherends,when overlap length is equal to 15 mm.A simple efficient computational approach is presented for analyzing the benefit of through-thickness pins for restricting failure in the single lap joints.Here,the mechanics problem is simplified by representing the effect of the pins by tractions acting on the fracture surfaces of the cracked bond-line.The tractions are prescribed as functions of the crack displacement,which are available in simple forms that summarize the complex deformations to a reasonable accuracy.The resulting model can be used to track the evolution of complete failure mechanisms,for example,bond-line initial delamination and ultimate failure associated with Z-pin pullout,ultimate failure of the adherends.The paper simulates connecting performance of the single lap joints with different Z-pins' diameter,spacing and overlap length;the numerical results agree with the experimental results;the numerical results indicate enlarging diameter and decreasing spacing of Z-pins are in favor of improving the connecting performance of the joints.By numerical analysis method,the critical overlap length that lies between two final failure modes is between 18 mm and 19 mm,when Z-pins' diameter and spacing are 0.4 ram,5 ram,respectively.     

用ZnS做诱导金属滤光片的间隔层

从制备工艺稳定性出发,设计的诱导金属滤光片的膜系结构与以往设计的膜系结构有所不同,即将n_L低折射率冰晶石间隔层改用n_H高折射率ZnS做间隔层。如果金属与间隔层结合良好,本文中给出的设计计算公式适合于做间隔层的任意膜层。通常膜系的透光率T是膜层厚度nd的函数T=f(nd)。高折射率n_H的膜层函数T_H=f(n_Hd)变化较快,低折射率n_L的膜层函数T_L=f(n_Ld)变化较慢,尤其是在膜层厚度接近λ_0/2的区域更为明显。实践证明选用高折射率ZnS做诱导金属银滤光片的间隔层比选用低折射率冰晶石做间隔层制备工艺稳定,产品合格率高。

Adjustment and evaluation of an LDA probe for accurate flow measurement

An LDA probe with optimized measuring volume was obtained based on repeated adjustments of a preconfigured LDA system with a calibrated spinning disc. A retriggerable pulse-width-and-time-delay module was used to trigger and freeze favorable Doppler bursts. After a repeated beam-steering procedure and a fringe-pattern analysis, we found that the variation of fringe spacing throughout the measuring volume was reduced from 3% to 0.28%, such that the adjusted probe gave more accurate measurements. To verify this applicability in velocity calibration, the fringe spacing of the adjusted LDA measuring volume was treated as a velocity coefficient, and its mean and measurement uncertainty was experimentally estimated. Analysis shows that the expanded uncertainty of the coefficient was 0.10% at the 95% level of confidence for both the components of the LDA. The results demonstrated that the adjusted LDA system was qualified to perform accurate flow measurement.     

磷钨酸插层MgAl水滑石层间距的调变及催化酯化脱酸性能

通过改变离子交换温度和时间合成了具有不同层间距的磷钨酸(H_3PW_(12)O_(40),HPW)插层MgAl水滑石(LDHs),采用XRD、FT-IR、Raman、~(31)P MAS NMR、ICP-AES和Hammett指示剂-正丁胺滴定法等表征其性质,并研究其对模型原油的催化酯化脱酸性能。高的离子交换温度有利于形成较大的层间距(d_(003)约1.46 nm),较长的交换时间有利于形成较小的层间距(d_(003)约1.05 nm)。不同的层间距源自HPW在层间不同的存在形式,P_2W_(18)O_(62)~(6-)以C_2轴倾斜于层板和PW_(11)O_(39)~(7-)以C_2轴垂直于层板的方式排列于层间时,形成d_(003)约1.46 nm的层间距;PW_(12)O_(40)~(3-)与层板发生嫁接,并以C_2轴垂直于层板的方向排列于层间时,形成d_(003)约1.05 nm的层间距。层间P_2W_(18)O_(62)~(6-)和PW_(11)O_(39)~(7-)能产生更高比例的中强酸中心,同时大的层间距有利于反应物扩散进入层间与酸中心接触,能够提高LDHs的催化酯化脱酸性能。     

13C discriminations of Pinus sylvestris vs. Pinus ponderosa at a dry site in Brandenburg (eastern Germany): 100-year growth comparison

The carbon isotope composition (δ¹³C, ‰) and discrimination (Δ, ‰) of old grown North American Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Ex P. et C. Laws. and European Pinus sylvestris L. were determined using trees grown under almost identical growing conditions in a mixed stand in Bralitz, Northeast Germany. Single-tree δ¹³C analyses of tree-ring cellulose of both species were carried out at a yearly resolution for the period 1901–2001 and the results compared with growth (basal area increment). Annual mean δ¹³C values for P. ponderosa ranged from?21.6 ‰ to?25.2 ‰ and for P. sylvestris from?21.4 ‰ to?24.4 ‰. Accordingly, ¹³C discrimination (Δ) showed higher values for P. ponderosa throughout the investigation period. Five characteristic periods of Δ were identified for both the tree species, reflecting positive and negative influences of environmental factors. Good growing conditions such as after-thinning events had a positive effect on Δ, reflecting higher values, while poor conditions like aridity and air pollution had a negative influence, reflecting lower values. The dynamics of Δ were likewise reflected in the growth (basal area increment, BAI). Higher ¹³C discrimination values of P. ponderosa led to higher BAIs of P. ponderosa in comparison with P. sylvestris. Correlation function analyses confirmed that P. sylvestris was more dependent on precipitation than P. ponderosa, which showed a closer relationship with temperature. The results confirm that under predominantly dry growing conditions, P. ponderosa showed better growth performance than P. sylvestris, indicating better common intrinsic water-use efficiency and, therefore, higher rates of net photosynthesis at a given transpiration. In view of the prospect of climate change, the results are very significant for assessing both trees’ physiological properties and, hence, their potential for coping with future growing conditions.     

Phase behaviour and structural properties of two members of biphenylyl benzoate chiral mesogenic series

ABSTRACT

Phase behaviour and structural properties of two members of biphenylyl benzoate chiral mesogenic series (2F3R and 3F3R) have been investigated. While both the compounds exhibit SmC* phase over a wide temperature range, 2F3R forms orthogonal SmA* from tilted SmC* on heating but 3F3R melts directly to the isotropic phase. The SmA* phase of 2F3R is found to have de vries characteristics with small effective layer contraction. Both the samples on cooling form hexagonal SmF* phase below SmC* phase. On further cooling soft crystal like hexagonal SmJ* phase is formed in 2F3R, undergoing a change in the tilt direction, but in 3F3R, SmG* phase is formed without any change in the tilt direction. A coexistence phase of (SmC*+SmF*) is also observed in a certain temperature range. Slight differences in the dipole moment and molecular conformation of the two molecules give rise to a subtle change in the intermolecular interaction and play an important role in the appearance of different phases in the two compounds. Cell parameters of SmF*, SmG*, SmJ* phases have also been determined. Layer spacings, tilt angles, average intermolecular spacings and correlation lengths have been measured. How some of these properties compare with other members of the series has been discussed.

采用类金属透明模型合金丁二腈-1.8 wt%丙酮(SCN-1.8 wt%Ace)合金, 研究了平行于生长界面前沿的液相对流对定向凝固胞/枝晶生长行为及胞/枝晶间距的影响. 对于胞晶生长, 在液相对流作用下, 其尖端将会出现分岔, 使得胞晶间距减小, 并且液相对流流速越大, 胞晶尖端分岔越明显, 胞晶组织越细小, 胞晶间距越小. 至于枝晶生长, 其生长行为与胞晶不同. 当抽拉速度较小时, 液相对流作用下枝晶两侧三次臂的生长速度将会超过枝晶尖端生长速度, 形成新的枝晶列, 使得枝晶一次间距减小, 并且液相对流流速越大枝晶一次间距越小; 当抽拉速度较大时, 液相对流作用下迎流侧二次臂生长发达,且会抑制上游枝晶生长, 使得枝晶一次间距增大, 并且液相对流越强枝晶一次间距越大. 关键词： 定向凝固 胞晶间距 枝晶间距 液相对流     

Mathematical modelling of chip thickness in micro-end- milling: A Fourier modelling

This study developed a model of undeformed chip thickness in micro-end-milling for the use in estimating cutting constants based on measured cutting forces. The proposed estimation method is based upon the invertibility of the average milling force model. In this paper, chip thickness in micro-end-milling was estimated by summing the thicknesses of the conventional chip component and the additional chip component. Thickness was then expressed in terms of Fourier series. The analyses showed that the fast convergence of Fourier series gives the Fourier chip thickness model sufficient accuracy when using only five terms of the truncated Fourier series for common micro-end-milling processes. The Fourier coefficients can be expressed in terms of the ratio of feed per tooth to cutter radius for different numbers of cutter teeth. The accuracy and conciseness of the chip thickness model enables the modelling of average cutting force in a closed form, which can be applied to identify the cutting constants. Cutting force experiments verify that the model prediction agrees very well with the experimental results.
