Effects of a vocally fatiguing task and systemic hydration on phonation threshold pressure

Phonation threshold pressure (PTP), effort for speaking, and vibratory closure pattern were assessed in 4 women with normal untrained voices after 2 hours of loud reading. PTP generally increased after this vocally fatiguing task at conversational pitch and 10%, 50%, and especially 80% of the pitch range. Increased systemic hydration by drinking water appeared to attenuate and/or delay the elevation of PTP for 3 subjects, at least at the highest pitch tested. Effort for speaking increased consistently throughout the loud reading task and subsequently decreased after 15 minutes of vocal silence. Upon videostroboscopic examination of the larynx, 3 subjects demonstrated spindle-shaped vibratory closure patterns on occasion after loud reading. The results provide preliminary support for increasing water consumption to reduce or delay some vocal-function changes after prolonged loud phonation in untrained speakers.     

制导光缆中光纤寿命预期

介绍了光纤寿命预期的疲劳实验方法和筛选实验方法。采用这两种方法，利用电子万能材料试验机和光纤筛选复绕机对室温下光纤进行了疲劳性能实验。实验得出，在张力小于850g的情况下，制导光纤的寿命可以达到10年以上；光纤的韦伯参数md和疲劳参数nd的大小影响光纤寿命。实验表明，当光纤的使用状态受力较大时，或使用贮存状态相差较大时，宜选用动态方法进行寿命预期；当贮存和使用状态受力变化不大时，宜选用筛选复绕方法预期光纤寿命。制导光纤寿命模型宜选用动态疲劳模型，通信光纤可选用筛选实验模型。实验还表明，提高光纤的抗疲劳因子nd和减小光缆中光纤的应变，可以更好地保持光缆中光纤的使用寿命和可靠性。

Transport properties and anomalous fatigue effect of Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructures

The transport properties and fatigue effect of Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructures are described. By examining the I-V curves, an anomalous fatigue effect was found and its influences on resistive states were studied. I-V curves combined with C-f spectra were used to directly analyze the transport properties and fatigue effect. Compared to the first I-V cycle state, this structure shows more than one order increase of resistance after 100 cycles of ＂I-V curve training＂. The redistribution of oxygen vacancies in the depletion layer of Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3 is believed to be responsible for the different resistance mechanisms and tenfold magnitude drop in resistance. The resistive switching is understood to be caused by electric field-induced carrier trapping and detrapping, which changes the depletion layer thickness at the Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3 interface.     

Notch fatigue of Cu_(50)Zr_(50) metallic glasses under cyclic loading: molecular dynamics simulations

Molecular dynamics simulation is performed to simulate the tension–compression fatigue of notched metallic glasses(MGs), and the notch effect of MGs is explored. The notches will accelerate the accumulation of shear transition zones, leading to faster shear banding around the notches' root causing it to undergo severe plastic deformation. Furthermore, a qualitative investigation of the notched MGs demonstrates that fatigue life gradually becomes shorter with the increase in sharpness until it reaches a critical scale. The fatigue performance of blunt notches is stronger than that of sharp notches. Making the notches blunter can improve the fatigue life of MGs.     

Self-healing slip pulses and the friction of gelatin gels

We present an extensive experimental study and scaling analysis of friction of gelatin gels on glass. At low driving velocities, sliding occurs via propagation of periodic self-healing slip pulses whose velocity is limited by collective diffusion of the gel network. Healing can be attributed to a frictional instability occurring at the slip velocity V = V _c. For V > V _c, sliding is homogeneous and friction is ruled by the shear-thinning rheology of an interfacial layer of thickness of order the (nanometric) mesh size, containing a solution of polymer chain ends hanging from the network. In spite of its high degree of confinement, the rheology of this system does not differ qualitatively from known bulk ones. The observed ageing of the static friction threshold reveals the slow increase of adhesive bonding between chain ends and glass. Such structural ageing is compatible with the existence of a velocity-weakening regime at velocities smaller than V _c, hence with the existence of the healing instability.
