Gyrotropic and piezoelectric coefficients and attenuation of elastic waves in BaTiO3

Using Landau theory of phase transition, expressions for gyrotropic coefficients and piezoelectric coefficients are obtained for barium titanate in the tetragonal phase. Both coefficients vanish at the ferroelectric phase transition temperature. The piezoelectric coefficients tallied with the literature values. The attenuation coefficients for elastic waves propagating along the principal directions in tetragonal, orthorhombic and rhombohedral phases are derived based on Landau theory. It is predicted that there will be slight amplification for both longitudinal and transverse modes in the rhombohedral phase at a temperature close to the rhombohedral phase transition temperature.     

铝的动态屈服强度测量及再加载弹性前驱波的形成机理分析

利用激光干涉测速技术(VISAR)测量LY12铝合金在20—34 GPa冲击压力下经历加载-卸载和加载-再加载过程的样品/窗口界面粒子速度剖面，采用AC方法确定了具有较高精度的动态屈服强度值.实验结果和文献发表的数据具有较好的一致性.通过以平面焊接方式制作组合飞片，克服了组合飞片在气炮发射过程中可能发生分离的技术困难，使铝的动态屈服强度测量压力范围从22 GPa扩展到了34 GPa.同时，根据对不同实验条件下的加载-再加载过程的比较，对再加载弹性前驱波的形成机理进行了讨论，认为位错是形成该现象的主要原因.     

Numerical Study on Depinning Dynamics of Fluids Interacting with Disorder

We investigate the depinning of two-dlmensional fluids interacting with quenched disorder, based on Langevin simulations. For weak disorder the fluids depin elastically and flow in an ordered state. A power-law scaling fit between velocity and driving force can be obtained for the onset of motion in the elastic regime. This is in good agreement with that of colloid, charge density wave, and superconducting vortex systems. With an increasing strength of the disorder, we find a sharp crossover to plastic depinning, accompanied by a substantial increase in the depinning force. The scaling fit obtained in the elastic regime becomes invalid when plastic flow occurs. In the plastic regime, the fluids flow in channels and the hexatic order decays exponentially with drives.     

Improved Ligand-Field Theoretical Calculations of R-Line Thermal Broadenings of NIgO：Cr^3＋ and MgO：V^2＋

With the values of parameters obtained from improved ligand-field theory, by taking into account all the irreducible representations and their components in EPI as well as all the levels and the admixtures of basic wavefunctions within d^3 electronic configuration, the R-line thermal broadenings （TB） of both MgO：Cr^3＋ and MgO：V^2＋ have microscopic-theoretically been calculated, The results are in very good agreement with the experimental data. It is found that the R-line TB of MgO：Cr^3＋ or MgO：V^2＋ comes from the first-order term of EPI. The elastic Raman scattering of acoustic phonons plays a dominant role in R-line TB of MgO：Cr^3＋ or MgO：V^2＋.     

Applicability of ~9Be global optical potential to reactions of ~(7,10,11,12)Be

Elastic scattering angular distributions and total reaction cross-sections of ~(7,10,11,12)Be projectiles are predicted by the systematic ~9 Be global phenomenological optical model potential for target mass numbers ranging from24 to 209. These predictions provide a detailed analysis by their comparison with the available experimental data.Furthermore, these elastic scattering observables are also predicted for some targets out of the mass number range.The results are in reasonable agreement with the existing experimental data, and they are presented in this study.     

First-principles investigation on ideal strength of B2 NiAl and NiTi alloys

For B2 NiAl and NiTi intermetallic compounds, the ideal stress–strain image is lack from the perspective of elastic constants. We use first-principles calculation to investigate the ideal strength and elastic behavior under the tensile and shear loads. The relation between the ideal strength and elastic constants is found. The uniaxial tension of NiAl and NiTi along <001> crystal direction leads to the change from tetragonal path to orthogonal path, which is driven by the vanishing of the shear constant C(66). The shear failure under {110}{111} shear deformation occurring in process of tension may result in a small ideal tensile strength(~ 2 GPa) for NiTi. The unlikeness in the ideal strength of Ni Al and Ni Ti alloys is discussed based on the charge density difference.     

Fluid‐structure coupling of linear elastic model with compressible flow models

Cavitation erosion is caused in solids exposed to strong pressure waves developing in an adjacent fluid field. The knowledge of the transient distribution of stresses in the solid is important to understand the cause of damaging by comparisons with breaking points of the material. The modeling of this problem requires the coupling of the models for the fluid and the solid. For this purpose, we use a strategy based on the solution of coupled Riemann problems that has been originally developed for the coupling of 2 fluids. This concept is exemplified for the coupling of a linear elastic structure with an ideal gas. The coupling procedure relies on the solution of a nonlinear equation. Existence and uniqueness of the solution is proven. The coupling conditions are validated by means of quasi‐1D problems for which an explicit solution can be determined. For a more realistic scenario, a 2D application is considered where in a compressible single fluid, a hot gas bubble at low pressure collapses in a cold gas at high pressure near an adjacent structure.     

Lattice dynamical study of body-centred tetragonal indium

The phonon dispersion curves, phonon frequency distribution function as well as the lattice specific heat of body-centred tetragonal indium have been deduced using a lattice dynamical model which includes central, angular and volume forces. Six elastic constants, four zone boundary frequencies and an equilibrium condition were used in the evaluation of the force constants. It is shown that this model is elastically consistent and satisfies the symmetry requirements of the lattice, the phonon frequencies of indium deduced from it are in very good agreement with the experimental values of Reichardt and Smith and the theoretical values of Garrett and Swihart, and theθ _D values compare well with the experimental values over a wide temperature range. The apparent discrepancies in the phonon dispersion curves and theθ _D-T curves obtained from deficient models, importance of umklapp processes and the significance of angular forces in the lattice dynamical models are discussed.
