Ionic conductivity of conjugated water-soluble rigid-rod polymers

Poly[(1,7-dihydrobenzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′] diimidazole-2,6-diyl)-2-(2-sulfo)-p-phenylene], a conjugated rigid-rod polymer, was derivatized with pendants of propane-sulfonated ionomers. The derivatized rigid-rod polymer was soluble in aprotic solvents as well as in water for isotropic solutions that were processed into isotropic films. Direct-current electrical conductivity σ of the films was measured using the four-probe technique. Room-temperature σ as high as 2.9 × 10^?4S/cm was achieved on pristine isotropic films without using dopants. When the rigid-rod polymer concentration exceeded 25 wt %, the isotropic solution could be transformed into a liquid-crystalline solution that allowed deformations to be applied to produce anisotropic films. Significant increase in σ was obtained in a sheared film along both the parallel direction (∥) and the transverse direction (⊥) with a σ_∥/σ_⊥ = 5. Additionally, enhanced σ was realized in films heat-treated at about 100°C, in the derivatized polymer with higher molecular weight from dialysis, and in substituting the sulfonated ion Na⁺ by H⁺ in the pendants of the polymers. Constant-voltage measurements were applied to the polymers to monitor the σ stability for ascertaining the nature of the conductivity. No electronic contribution in σ was detected. Instead, a monotonically decreasing σ was consistently observed indicative of ionic conductivity. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

弹簧地基上大直径单桩海上风机的一阶自振频率

自振频率是海上风机前期动力设计的主要难点之一,计算精度要求极高,而桩-土相互作用对自振频率影响显著。目前,针对桩-土相互作用普遍采用弹簧地基简化模型,为对比分析不同弹簧地基简化模型的准确性和精度,本文采用回传射线矩阵法,建立固定端、单弹簧、双弹簧和三弹簧这4种地基简化模型,基于Bernoulli-Euler梁理论和Timoshenko梁理论,求解风机系统的自振频率,并与风机基频实测值作对比,进一步分析三弹簧简化地基模型中地基旋转刚度、地基耦合刚度和地基水平刚度对风机系统基频的影响。研究结果表明,桩-土相互作用不可忽略,三弹簧地基简化模型计算风机系统基频精度最高;地基刚度对风机系统基频的敏感性次序为,地基耦合刚度>地基旋转刚度>地基水平刚度;当地基旋转(水平)刚度较小时,地基耦合刚度与地基旋转(水平)刚度的耦合效应对风机系统的基频影响较大;地基耦合刚度与地基旋转刚度的耦合效应对风机系统基频的影响程度大于地基耦合刚度与地基水平刚度的耦合效应。     

The particular solutions for thin plates resting on Pasternak foundations under arbitrary loadings

Analytical particular solutions of splines and monomials are obtained for problems of thin plate resting on Pasternak foundation under arbitrary loadings, which are governed by a fourth‐order partial differential equation (PDEs). These analytical particular solutions are valuable when the arbitrary loadings are approximated by augmented polyharmonic splines (APS) constructed by splines and monomials. In our derivations, the real coefficient operator in the governing equation is decomposed into two complex coefficient operators whose particular solutions are known in literature. Then, we use the difference trick to recover the analytical particular solutions of the original operator. In addition, we show that the derived particular solution of spline with its first few directional derivatives are bounded as r → 0. This solution procedure may have the potential in obtaining analytical particular solutions of higher order PDEs constructed by products of Helmholtz‐type operators. Furthermore, we demonstrate the usages of these analytical particular solutions by few numerical cases in which the homogeneous solutions are complementarily solved by the method of fundamental solutions (MFS). © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Free vibration of functionally graded rectangular plates using first-order shear deformation plate theory

The main objective of this research work is to present analytical solutions for free vibration analysis of moderately thick rectangular plates, which are composed of functionally graded materials (FGMs) and supported by either Winkler or Pasternak elastic foundations. The proposed rectangular plates have two opposite edges simply-supported, while all possible combinations of free, simply-supported and clamped boundary conditions are applied to the other two edges. In order to capture fundamental frequencies of the functionally graded (FG) rectangular plates resting on elastic foundation, the analysis procedure is based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) to derive and solve exactly the equations of motion. The mechanical properties of the FG plates are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness of the plate and obey a power law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents, whereas Poisson’s ratio is set to be constant. First, a new formula for the shear correction factors, used in the Mindlin plate theory, is obtained for FG plates. Then the excellent accuracy of the present analytical solutions is confirmed by making some comparisons of the results with those available in literature. The effect of foundation stiffness parameters on the free vibration of the FG plates, constrained by different combinations of classical boundary conditions, is also presented for various values of aspect ratios, gradient indices, and thickness to length ratios.
