Vibro-acoustic behaviour of laminated double glazing enclosing a viscothermal fluid cavity

This paper presents a new numerical model to investigate the vibro-acoustic behaviour of two laminated glass plates enclosing a thin viscothermal fluid cavity. The aim of this work is to develop an original five layer (two skins plies, two adhesive films and a core ply) laminated plate finite element by mixing Kirchhoff and Mindlin plate’s theory. The formulation is based on the theory that accounts for the transverse shear in the adhesive films and in the core. The acousto-elastic model is established in dimensionless appropriate form including the effects of viscosity and thermal conductivity of fluid and by taking into account the fluid-structure interaction. The discretization of the energy functional by finite element method gives after minimisation a symmetrical coupled matrix system in which the acoustic matrices are frequency dependent. Therefore, an iterative procedure is derived to determine the eigenmodes of the coupled system. The modal approach is adopted to determine the vibro-acoustic system’s response. Then, the validation of the new laminate finite element model is achieved by comparing the sandwich plate results against data obtained from literature. Subsequently, predicted responses, such as the vibration transmissibility and the transmission loss of the coupled system, for a given laminated double glazing under an imposed homogeneous pressure are presented and discussed. Numerical results show the importance of both lamination and viscothermal fluid effects on double glazing vibro-acoustic behaviour.     

Effect of unfolding on the thickness of the hydration layer of a protein

Properties of water in the hydration layer around a protein is intimately correlated with its function. A knowledge of the thickness of the hydration layer is important to understand its role in guiding the folding-unfolding of the protein. We have performed atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the folded native and a partially unfolded molten globule structure of the villin headpiece subdomain or HP-36 in aqueous solution to estimate the effect of unfolding on the thickness of hydration layer around different segments of the protein. In particular, several dynamic properties of water around different segments of the folded native and the unfolded structure have been calculated by varying the thickness of the hydration layers. It is found that unfolding of a segment of the protein is correlated with the dynamics of water around it, i.e., within the first hydration layer. The effect of unfolding on water properties has been found to diminish when water molecules present beyond the first hydration layer were included in the calculations.      

Error control in the perfectly matched layer based multilevel fast multipole algorithm

The development of efficient algorithms to analyze complex electromagnetic structures is of topical interest. Application of these algorithms in commercial solvers requires rigorous error controllability. In this paper we focus on the perfectly matched layer based multilevel fast multipole algorithm (PML-MLFMA), a dedicated technique constructed to efficiently analyze large planar structures. More specifically the crux of the algorithm, viz. the pertinent layered medium Green functions, is under investigation. Therefore, particular attention is paid to the plane wave decomposition for 2-D homogeneous space Green functions in very lossy media, as needed in the PML-MLFMA. The result of the investigations is twofold. First, upper bounds expressing the required number of samples in the plane wave decomposition as a function of a preset accuracy are rigorously derived. These formulas can be used in 2-D homogeneous (lossy) media MLFMAs. Second, a more heuristic approach to control the error of the PML-MLFMA’s Green functions is presented. The theory is verified by means of several numerical experiments.     

A SCREW DISLOCATION IN A THREE-PHASE COMPOSITE CYLINDER MODEL WITH INTERFACIAL RIGID LINES

The problem of the elastic interaction between a screw dislocation and a three-phase circular inclusion with interracial rigid lines （anti-cracks） is investigated. An efficient and concise method for the complex multiply connected region is developed, with which explicit series form solutions of the complex potentials in the matrix, and the interphase layer and inclusion regions are derived. Based on the complex potentials, the image force on the screw dislocation is then calculated by using the Peach-Koehler formula. The equilibrium position of the dislocation is discussed in detail for various rigid line geometries, interphase layer thicknesses and material property combinations. The main results show that the interracial rigid lines exert a significant perturbation effect on the motion of the screw dislocation near the circular inclusion surrounded by an interphase layer.

锂喹啉配合物作为电子注入层对有机电致发光器件性能的影响

利用锂喹啉配合物(8-hydroxy-quinolinato lithium,Liq)作电子注入层,制备了结构为氧化铟锡／锂喹啉配合物铝{ITO(indium tin oxidc) TPD(N,N′-di-phenyl-N,N′-bis(3-mmethylphenyl)-l.l′biphenyl-4,4′diamine)/Alq3[tris-8-hydroxy-quinolinato)aluminum] Liq AI的电致发光器件。通过改变电子注入层Liq的厚度,考查了Liq厚度对器件电致发光效率及电流密度-电压关系的影响。实验表明Liq厚度大约为0．5nm左右时器件的性能最佳、电致发光效率约为没有Liq器件效率的5倍,而定电流下的工作电压最低,其原因可归于Liq在金属铝电极与有机层Alqs之间产生偶极层,使铝与有机层间的界面接近欧姆接触,从而使电子注入效率大幅提高;随着Liq厚度的增加,器件的电致发光效率降低,而定电流下的工作电压升高,与同类型以LiF作注入层的器件相比,这种器件性能受厚度影响而变化的趋势是类似的,但以Liq作注入层的器件具有较低的厚度敏感性,这是由于LiF为绝缘体,而Liq为半导体的缘故。Liq作注入层器件的这种对注入层厚度的不敏感性对批量生产中所用的大尺寸基底来说是非常有利的。
