Study of semiconductor lasers under simultaneous uniaxial stress and hydrostatic pressure

Abstract

We present the design of a device for the simultaneous application of uniaxial stress and hydrostatic pressure. This new apparatus will for the first time allow measurements at constant strain. Results of the simultaneous application of uniaxial stress and hydrostatic pressure to a semiconductor laser are presented and discussed.     

Grüneisen parameter for HCP iron at extreme compression

The Thomas–Fermi approximation gives the Grüneisen parameter γ=γ_∞=1/2 for all materials at extreme compression (P→∞ or V→0). After re-analyzing the existing experimental data of volume dependence of Grüneisen parameter γ of hexagonal close-packed (HCP) iron, we find that γ=1/2+a(V/V ₀)^1/3+b(V/V ₀) ⁿ , where a, b and n are constants. Based on this new form of γ, the second Grüneisen parameter q, the Debye temperature θ_D and the shear sound velocity v _s of HCP iron are discussed in the present work. It is found that the zero pressure second Grüneisen parameter q ₀=0.654, which is consistent with the previously determined value of HCP iron for Earth's core physics from Dubrovinsky et al. The calculations for the Debye temperature and the shear sound velocity are also found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Helium trapping at dislocations,precipitates and grain boundaries

Helium bubble formation was observed in austenitic stainless steels by transmission electron microscopy following implantation of 30 to 1000 appm helium at room temperature and annealing at 700 to 800°C. Helium bubble distributions at dislocations and at various grain boundaries and precipitates were studied. It was found that interfacial dislocations play a dominant role in bubble nucleation at grain and interphase boundaries but not at Tic-matrix interfaces. Particularly high trapping of helium was observed at Tic precipitate-matrix interfaces which is attributed to an inhomogeneous ripening mechanism.     

On a new method for the study of the spatial behavior in a homogeneous elastic arch-like region

We consider a two-dimensional homogeneous elastic state in the arch-like region a?≤?r?≤?b, 0?≤?θ?≤?α, where (r,θ) denotes plane polar coordinates. We assume that three of the edges are traction-free, while the fourth edge is subjected to a (in plane) self-equilibrated load. The Airy stress function ‘?’ satisfies a fourth-order differential equation in the plane polar coordinates with appropriate boundary conditions. We develop a method which allows us to treat in a unitary way the two problems corresponding to the self-equilibrated loads distributed on the straight and curved edges of the region. In fact, we introduce an appropriate change for the variable r and for the Airy stress functions to reduce the corresponding boundary value problem to a simpler one which allows us to indicate an appropriate measure of the solution valuable for both the types of boundary value problems. In terms of such measures we are able to establish some spatial estimates describing the spatial behavior of the Airy stress function. In particular, our spatial decay estimates prove a clear relationship with the Saint-Venant's principle on such regions.

Analysis of a bi-piezoelectric ceramic layer with an interfacial crack subjected to anti-plane shear and in-plane electric loading

The behaviour of a bi-piezoelectric ceramic layer with a centre interfacial crack subjected to anti-plane shear and in-plane electric loading has been studied. The dislocation density functions and the Fourier integral transform method have been employed to eliminate the problem of singular integral equations. The normalized energy release rate, stress and electrical displacement intensity factors, G/G₀,K_III/K_III0 and K_D/K_D0, respectively, were determined for different geometric and property parameters by use of two different crack surface electric boundary conditions, i.e. impermeable and permeable. It has been shown that the effects of the thickness and material constants of the piezoelectric layer on all the three parameters, i.e. G/G₀,K_III/K_III0 and K_D/K_D0 were significant.     

钝体分离流动的实验研究

本文报告了楔形钝体分离流区域的湍流实验,提供了分离区内的时均速度、压力,湍流度和雷诺应力的分布,并对分离区的湍流特征进行了分析。实验表明,分离区内时均速度具有很大的横向梯度。湍流度和雷诺应力的分布曲线很相纵,它们在回流区变化较为平缓,而在混合区,当它们达到极大值之后,便以指数形式向(?)衰减。压力在回流区内变化也不大,但在混合区却具有明显的横向梯度。     

Targeting Inflammation by Anthocyanins as the Novel Therapeutic Potential for Chronic Diseases: An Update

Low-grade chronic inflammation (LGCI) and oxidative stress act as cooperative and synergistic partners in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of diseases. Polyphenols, including anthocyanins, are involved in regulating the inflammatory state and activating the endogenous antioxidant defenses. Anthocyanins’ effects on inflammatory markers are promising and may have the potential to exert an anti-inflammatory effect in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, translating these research findings into clinical practice would effectively contribute to the prevention and treatment of chronic disease. The present narrative review summarizes the results of clinical studies from the last 5 years in the context of the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative role of anthocyanins in both health and disease. There is evidence to indicate that anthocyanins supplementation in the regulation of pro-inflammatory markers among the healthy and chronic disease population. Although the inconsistencies between the result of randomized control trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses were also observed. Regarding anthocyanins’ effects on inflammatory markers, there is a need for long-term clinical trials allowing for the quantifiable progression of inflammation. The present review can help clinicians and other health care professionals understand the importance of anthocyanins use in patients with chronic diseases.     

一种新的计算Timoshenko梁截面剪切系数的方法

Timoshenko梁理论中考虑了截面剪切变形的影响,推导了一种新的计算剪切系数的方法,首先采用悬臂梁纯弯曲变形条件下截面剪应力分布的精确解,基于能量原理得到了各种梁截面剪切系数新的表达式,然后推导了弯扭耦合变形条件下截面剪应力分布的精确解,进一步获得了该条件下截面的剪切系数.结果表明,悬臂梁端面作用力偏离截面的弯曲中心将使剪切系数变小,通过与Cowper计算结果的对比发现结果偏小,其原因是Cowper没有考虑与外力垂直的剪应力的影响,因此新的计算结果更优越.
