Approximation of the unsteady Brinkman‐Forchheimer equations by the pressure stabilization method

In this work, we propose and analyze the pressure stabilization method for the unsteady incompressible Brinkman‐Forchheimer equations. We present a time discretization scheme which can be used with any consistent finite element space approximation. Second‐order error estimate is proven. Some numerical results are also given.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 33: 1949–1965, 2017     

考虑损伤的修正梯度弹性理论

梯度弹性理论在描述材料微结构起主导作用的力学行为时具有显著优势,将其与损伤理论相结合,可在材料破坏研究中考虑微结构的影响.基于修正梯度弹性理论,将应变张量、应变梯度张量和损伤变量作为Helmholtz自由能函数的状态变量,并在自然状态附近对自由能函数作Taylor展开,进而由热力学基本定律,推导出修正梯度弹性损伤理论本构方程的一般形式.编制有限元程序,模拟土样损伤局部化带的发展演化过程.结果表明,修正梯度弹性损伤理论消除了网格依赖性;损伤局部化带不是与损伤同时发生,而是在损伤发展到一定程度后再逐渐显现出来.     

Shear dependence of viscosity for perfluoropolyether fluids

The shear dependence of the bulk viscosities of two structurally different types of perfluoropolyether fluids was determined by two different techniques. The first involved direct measurement in a high shear Couette viscometer, the second utilized the time-temperature superposition principle to establish master curves from viscosity determinations at low shear rates and temperature; the results are comparable. Both fluids begin to show non-Newtonian behavior at shear rates above 10,000 s^–1.     

Thermoelasticity of bodies with microstructure and microtemperatures

This paper is concerned with a linear theory of thermodynamics for elastic materials with microstructure, whose microelements possess microtemperatures. It is shown that there exists the coupling of microrotation vector field with the microtemperatures even for isotropic bodies. Uniqueness and continuous dependence results are presented. The theory is used to establish the solution corresponding to a concentrated heat source acting in an unbounded continuum.     

应用增量理论考虑应变硬化效应包辛格效应和温度对机械性质影响的自增强厚壁圆筒分析

本文提出的采用增量理论的分析模型和方法可以定量分析应变硬化、包辛格效应和材料机械性质随温度变化等因素对自增强厚壁圆筒中残余应力和操作应力分布的影响.厚壁圆筒看成由N个同轴薄壁圆筒套在一起组成的构件;采用包括弹性、塑性和温度应变的增量型本构关系和相容条件导出了自增强圆筒的基本方程;设计了计算机程序并给出了分析实例。分析结果表明,应变硬化会减小塑性区并降低残余应力;包辛格效应使反向屈服容易出现;温度升高将使残余应力和热应力松驰.     

Rheology of coal suspensions

Proper design of operations encountered in preparation, transport and employment of suspensions like coal slurries and coal-oil mixtures require an accurate knowledge of their rheological behaviour.Such concentrated suspensions generally exhibit non-Newtonian behaviour (shearthinning) which is more pronounced at higher coal concentrations. The nature of the dispersing medium influences the aggregation state of the disperse phase and, consequently, affects the stability and the rheology of the systems. In the present paper coal suspensions prepared with different dispersing media and covering a wide range in solid phase concentration are studied, by using a rotational coaxial cylinders viscometer.Different models have been taken into consideration for correlating experimental data. In particular, in order to describe the dependence of viscosity on shear rate and solid phase concentration, the suitability of the model suggested by Smith and Bruce is evaluated. Accordingly, the aggregation state of the disperse phase as well as its dependence on shear rate and dispersing medium can be estimated.     

Monte Carlo Simulations of Observation Time-Dependent Self-Diffusion in Porous Media Models

Observation time-dependent self-diffusion coefficients can be used to obtain microstructural information of porous media. This paper presents two different kinds of Monte Carlo simulations of the self diffusion process of fluids like water in porous systems, a lattice-free method and a lattice-based method. The results for simple porous media model geometries agree well with each other and with published analytical as well as semi-analytical equations. The use of these equations, which are important for the interpretation of Pulsed Field Gradient-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (PFG-NMR) time-dependent diffusion data with respect to properties of porous media, is discussed.     

Efficiency Improvement in Polymer Light‐Emitting Diodes by “Far‐Field” Effect of Gold Nanoparticles

The “far‐field” effect of metal nanoparticles (NPs), when chromophores localized nearby metal NPs (typically the distance >λ/10), is an important optical effect to enhance emission in photoluminescence. The far‐field effect originates mainly from the interaction between origin emission and mirror‐reflected emission, resulting in the increased irradiative rate of chromophores on the mirror‐type substrate. Here, the far‐field effect is used to improve emission efficiency of polymer light‐emitting diodes (PLEDs). A universal performance improvement is achieved for the full visible light (red, green, blue) PLEDs, utilizing gold (Au) NPs to modify the indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates; this is shown by experimental and theoretical simulation to mainly come from the far‐field effect. The optimized distance, between the NPs and chromophores with visible light emission ranging from 400 to 700 nm, is 80–120 nm. Thus the scope of the far‐field may overlap the light‐emitting profile very well to enhance the efficiency of optoelectronic devices. The 30–40% enhancement is obtained for different color‐emitting materials through distance optimization. The far‐field effect is demonstrated to enhance device performance for materials in the full‐visible spectral range, which extends the optoelectric applications of Au NPs.
