Dynamic fracture testing of polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) single-edge notched beam

Dynamic fracture in single-edge notched polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) beams have been investigated by three-point-bending impact testing with a drop-weight machine. A high-speed camera combined with the digital image correlation (DIC) method is used to capture the impact-induced crack initiation and propagation, as well as the beam deformation fields and the open mode strain at the original notch tip. The crack propagation length is recorded and the instantaneous crack velocity is calculated. Furthermore, the dynamic fracture toughness K_Id is quantified from the loading-displacement relations at different impact velocities. The effects of the impact velocity and impact energy on dynamic fracture toughness, fracture initiation strain, as well as the corresponding influences on the fracture propagation velocity, are discussed.     

Ultrasound assisted eco-friendly synthesis of 3-cinnamoyl coumarins using N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(2-aminobenzamide) dichloro cobalt immobilized on mesoporous Al-SBA-15 as a new and recyclable catalyst

ABSTRACT

A novel mesoporous Al-SBA-15 modified by N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(2-aminobenzamide) dichloro cobalt has been prepared and applied as a reusable catalyst in the 3-cinnamoyl coumarins synthesis via three-component reaction between benzaldehydes, salicylaldehydes and ethyl acetoacetate by the assist of ultrasonic irradiation. By using of the nanocatalyst and also ultrasound irradiation, the easiness and velocity of the abovementioned reaction were enhanced and an environment friendly condition was provided to synthesis of various 3-cinnamoyl coumarin compounds. The properties and structure of nanocatalyst have been specified by methods including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption–desorption analysis and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Superiority of this novel and viable method is due to mild reaction condition, short reaction times, high yields of 3-cinnamoyl coumarins, environmentally benign, recoverability of the CoCl₂N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(2-aminobenzamide)/Al-SBA-15 catalyst and reusability with important preservation in its catalytic activity.     

Effect of Gaussian size distribution width on minimum fluidization velocity in tapered gas–solid fluidized beds

This paper investigated the effect of Gaussian distribution width, average particle diameter, particle loading, and the tapered angle on minimum fluidization velocity (U_mf) by conducting extensive experiments in tapered fluidized beds. Three powders with Gaussian size distribution and different distribution widths were used in the experiments. An increase in U_mf with increasing the average particle diameter, particle loading, and the tapered angle was observed. There was also a nonmonotonic behavior of U_mf as the Gaussian distribution width increased. An empirical correlation including dimensionless groups for predicting U_mf in tapered beds was developed in which the effect of distribution width was considered. The proposed correlation predictions were in good agreement with the experimental data, with a maximum deviation of 16.5% and average and standard deviations of, respectively, 6.4% and 7.4%. The proposed correlation was also compared with three earlier models, and their accuracy was discussed.     

异地时钟同步与时间的度量

介绍了庞加莱等人关于"异地时钟同步"和"相继时间段(绵延)相等"的思考,介绍了爱因斯坦"约定"异地时钟"同时"的方案,以及朗道等人对该方案的发展.我们赞同庞加莱的设想,即对光速传播性质的约定是时间测量的基础,并指出对光速的约定相当于对时空对称性的约定.我们在"约定光速的基础上"给出了钟速同步具有传递性的条件,不仅解决了"异地坐标钟钟速同步"的定义问题,而且解决了"相继时间段相等"的定义问题,证实了庞加莱原初的猜想,简化了时间测量的理论基础.

探针移动速度对等离子体射流热流密度测量结果的影响

采用自行研制的中心嵌有铜柱感应件的小尺寸杆状热流探针,在低扰动条件下,对射入大气环境的纯氩层流等热离子体射流传向铜探头表面的热流密度进行了动态测量.结果表明,在射流最高温度16500 K、最大轴向速度850 m/s、探针垂直于射流流动方向的移动速度130～260 mm/s的实验参数范围内,随着探针移动速度的提高,测得的热流密度值减小;射流温度和速度越高,探针移动速度对热流密度测量值的影响越大.

本文运用激光微细加工技术,通过对不同浓度引发剂的甲基丙烯酸类树脂的聚合行为进行评价,研究了1-甲基-2-[2-(9-戊基-咔唑-3-基)-乙烯基]-3,3-二甲基吲哚碘盐(I)作为双光子光引发剂的聚合特性,结果表明该化合物在扫描速度为44μm/s时,双光子聚合阈值为139kJ/cm²;当激光能量密度为286kJ/cm²时,引发聚合的曝光时间阈值为0.7ms.实验结果为进一步作为双光子聚合三维结构的微细加工提供了可靠依据.     

超光速群速度与信息传输的有效速度

研究了反常色散介质中脉冲形变对超光速群速度的影响,发现即使光脉冲完全不产生形变群速度仍会超过真空中的光速。但波包的群速度并不等同于信号的传输速度,采用信息论方法,定义了信号的有效传输速度,并用于解释WKD(Wang,Kuzmich,Dogariu)实验。通过计算入射光与出射光信号所携带的信息量,发现由于光的波动衍射及光子散粒噪声的影响,出射光所携带的信息量会损失,使得光信号的有效传播速度不会超过真空中的光速。     

参变过程中的群速延迟对晶体匹配长度的影响

基于能量守恒和三波耦合波方程,建立了超短脉冲在参变过程中二次谐波产生时的I类和II类相位匹配条件、基波与谐波之间的群速延迟时间、以及群速失配对晶体长度限制的理论基础。以负单轴非线性光学晶体CsLiB6O10为例,分析和数值计算了超短脉冲宽度为100fs时,谐波的群速匹配长度随基波波长变化的规律。研究结果表明在I类相位匹配条件下,基波波长为642nm时,群速延迟最小,相应的群速匹配晶体长度最长为19.1mm;在II类相位匹配条件下,基波波长为767nm,群速延迟最小,群速匹配长度最长为0.89mm。
