三轴应力下花岗岩加载破坏的能量演化和损伤特征

为揭示不同围压下硬岩在破坏过程中的力学性质和能量演化规律,基于RMT-150B岩石力学试验系统对花岗岩试样进行不同围压条件下常规三轴压缩试验。研究结果表明:岩样的峰值应力和围压具有较强的线性关系,利用Mohr-Coulomb强度准则求出花岗岩的黏聚力为23.548 MPa,内摩擦角为57.629°。围压对花岗岩加载破坏过程中能量演化的影响显著,岩石的峰值能量、弹性应变能以及耗散能都随着围压的增大而增大,且两者呈线性增加关系。根据岩石的线性储能规律,提出了确定岩石应力阈值的方法。围压越大,起裂应力和扩容应力越大,且岩样起裂点处与扩容点处的能量也越大;当围压较低时,岩石破坏前储存的能量较少,破坏时能量释放速率低,岩样表现为典型低劈裂破坏;在高围压情况下,能量快速释放,岩样表现为剪切破坏。基于能量演化规律,提出了岩石损伤演化模型,得到了花岗岩的损伤变量D在不同围压下加载破坏过程中的演化规律。

Effect of mechanical force on domain switching in BiFeO_3 ultrathin films

Ferroelectric polarization can be switched by an external applied electric field and may also be reversed by a mechanical force via flexoelectricity from the strain gradient.In this study,we report the mechanical writing of an epitaxial BiFeO3(BFO)thin film and the combined action of an applied mechanical force and electric field on domain switching,where the mechanical force and electric field are applied using the tip of atomic force microscopy.When the applied force exceeds the threshold value,the upward polarization of the BFO thin film can be reversed by pure mechanical force via flexoelectricity;when an electric field is simultaneously applied,the mechanical force can reduce the coercive electric field because both the piezoelectricity from the homogeneous strain and the flexoelectricity from strain gradient contribute to the internal electric field in the film.The mechanically switched domains exhibit a slightly lower surface potential when compared with that exhibited by the electrically switched domains due to no charge injection in the mechanical method.Furthermore,both the mechanically and electrically switched domains exhibit a tunneling electroresistance in the BFO ferroelectric tunnel junction.     

Second harmonic magnetoacoustic responses of magnetic nanoparticles in magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction

Due to the unique magnetic, mechanical and thermal properties, magnetic nanoparticles(MNPs) have comprehensive applications as the contrast and therapeutic agents in biomedical imaging and magnetic hyperthermia. The linear and nonlinear magnetoacoustic responses determined by the magnetic properties of MNPs have attracted more and more attention in biomedical engineering. By considering the relaxation time of MNPs, we derive the formulae of second harmonic magnetoacoustic responses(2H-MARs) for a cylindrical MNP solution model based on the mechanical oscillations of MNPs in magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction(MAT-MI). It is proved that only the second harmonic magnetoacoustic oscillations can be generated by MNPs under an alternating magnetic excitation. The acoustic pressure of the 2H-MAR is proportional to the square of the magnetic field intensity and exhibits a linear increase with the concentration of MNPs. Numerical simulations of the 2H-MAR are confirmed by the experimental measurements for various magnetic field intensities and solution concentrations using a laser vibrometer. The favorable results demonstrate the feasibility of the harmonic measurements without the fundamental interference of the electromagnetic excitation, and suggest a new harmonic imaging strategy of MAT-MI for MNPs with enhanced spatial resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio in biomedical applications.

Fault Diagnosis of Rolling Bearings Based on WPE by Wavelet Decomposition and ELM

The fault diagnosis classification method based on wavelet decomposition and weighted permutation entropy (WPE) by the extreme learning machine (ELM) is proposed to address the complexity and non-smoothness of rolling bearing vibration signals. The wavelet decomposition based on ‘db3’ is used to decompose the signal into four layers and extract the approximate and detailed components, respectively. Then, the WPE values of the approximate (CA) and detailed (CD) components of each layer are calculated and composed to be the feature vectors, which are finally fed into the extreme learning machine with optimal parameters for classification. The comparative study of the simulations based on WPE and permutation entropy (PE) shows that the classification method of seven kinds of signals of normal bearing signals and six types of fault states (7 mils and 14 mils) based on WPE (CA, CD) with the number of nodes in the hidden layers of ELM determined by the five-fold cross-validation has the best performances, the training accuracy can reach 100%, and the testing accuracy can reach 98.57% with 37 nodes of the hidden layer by ELM. The proposed method using WPE (CA, CD) by ELM provides guidance for the multi-classification of normal bearing signals.     

Structure and Mechanical Properties of 50/50 NR/SBR Blend/Pristine Clay Nanocomposites

A blend/clay nanocomposites of 50/50 (wt%) NR/SBR was prepared via mixing the latex of a 50/50 NR/SBR blend with an aqueous clay dispersion and co‐coagulating the mixture. The structure of the nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Nanocomposites containing less than 10 phr clay showed a fully exfoliated structure. After increasing the clay content to 10 phr, both nonexfoliated (stacked layers) and exfoliated structures were observed in the nanocomposites. The results of mechanical tests showed that the nanocomposites presented better mechanical properties than clay‐free NR/SBR blend vulcanizate. Furthermore, tensile strength, tensile strain at break, and hardness (shore A) increased with increasing clay content, up to 6 phr, and then remained almost constant.     

Rheological and Mechanical Characterization of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes/Polypropylene Nanocomposites

The rheology and morphology of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT)/polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites prepared via melt blending was investigated. The minor phase content of MWNT varied between 0.25 and 8 wt%. From morphological studies using a scanning electron microscopy technique a good dispersion of carbon nanotubes in the PP matrix was observed. The rheological studies were performed by a capillary rheometer, and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were studied using a tensile and flexural tester. Both PP and its nanocomposites showed non-Newtonian behavior. At low shear rates the addition of MWNT content causes an increase in viscosity; however, viscosity is less sensitive to addition of MWNT content at higher shear rates. Flow activation energy for the nanocomposites was calculated using an Arrhenius type equation. From this calculation it was concluded that the temperature sensitivity of nanocomposites was increased by increasing of nanotube content. An increase in tensile and flexural moduli and Izod impact strength was also observed by increasing the MWNT content. From rheological and mechanical tests it was concluded that the mechanical and rheological percolation threshold is at 1.5 wt%.     

Mechanical,Thermal, and Surface Properties of Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene/Polypropylene Blends

Various compositions of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene/polypropylene (UHMWPE/PP) blends were prepared in decalin, with the rheological, mechanical, thermal, and surface properties of the blends being determined using the solution cast film. Viscosity and mechanical properties of the blends decreased below the additivity value with increasing PP content implying that PP molecules disturb the entanglement of UHMWPE. Contact angle of the blend films with a water drop increased with increasing content of PP. The atomic force microscope (AFM) images showed that the surface of cast UHMWPE was very smooth whereas that of cast PP was very uneven. For blends, the surface became rough and uneven with increasing content of PP. The melting temperature of PP (T _mP) decreased in the blends with increasing UHMWPE content while that of UHMWPE (T _mU) remained almost constant in blends.
