FT‐Raman spectroscopic study of thoracic aortic wall subjected to uniaxial stress

The combination of Fourier transform‐Raman spectroscopy and uniaxial tensile tests (in MTS Synergie 100 testing machine) was used to investigate microstructural changes in the secondary protein structure of the aortic wall under different levels of stress. The spectroscopic analysis clearly shows differing tension thresholds for material excised in two directions: circumferential and longitudinal. This is confirmed by the results of macroscopic mechanical analyses. The application of strain does not lead to any noticeable change in the bandwidths of the Raman bands. The stress‐controlled Raman band analysis shows that the modes at 938 cm⁻¹ assigned as C_α C of the α‐helix, 1660 cm⁻¹ amide I (the unordered structure of elastin) and 1668 cm⁻¹ amide I (the collagen triple helix) undergo wavenumber shifting, but the bands at 1004 cm⁻¹ assigned to the phenyl ring breathing mode and 2940 cm⁻¹ to the ν (CH₃) and ν (CH₂) modes are not affected during the elastic behaviour. A clear correlation between Raman band shifting and the level of mechanical stress has been established. Elastin alone participates in the transmission of low stresses in the circumferential direction, whereas both elastin and collagen take part in the transmission of physiological and higher stresses.

单轴晶光轴干涉图成因的理论分析

借助于数学工具和一种简单的实验装置,用直观的方法,使理论分析和图形相结合,从理论上解释了单轴晶光轴干涉图的成因,并给出了在白光照射下的干涉花样。搭建了实验光路,结果表明:若用单色光照射,干涉图为明暗相间圆环;若用白光照射,则为一个套一个的环状等色曲线。愈向视域边缘,干涉色级数愈高,等色曲线的数目愈多,密度愈大,表示晶体的双折射率愈大。实验结果与理论分析相吻合。     

UPML吸收边界条件统一建模与优化方法

单轴各向异性介质完全匹配层(UPML)是时域有限差分方法(FDTD)的一种理想的吸收边界条件,但多个子区域的迭代运算增加了UPML实现的难度和耗用资源.通过寻找UPML区域中介质属性的变化规律,提出实现UPML吸收边界条件的统一建模方法,并在此基础上提出两种精简辅助变量占用空间的优化算法——六区域分割方法和压缩变量方法.计算结果表明,统一建模方法只需三次循环即可完成三个方向所有介质参数及迭代系数的初始化;六区域分割方法虽然节省了大量无用存储空间,但速度最慢;压缩变量方法不仅节省存储空间、方便编程实现,而且提高了仿真速度.     

Theoretical investigation of ferromagnetic resonance in a ferromagnetic thin film with external stress anisotropy

We use the ferromagnetic resonance(FMR)method to study the properties of ferromagnetic thin film,in which external stress anisotropy,fourfold anisotropy and uniaxial anisotropy are considered.The analytical expressions of FMR frequency,linewidth and the imaginary part of magnetic susceptibility are obtained.Our results reveal that the FMR frequency and the imaginary part of magnetic susceptibility are distinctly enhanced,and the frequency linewidth or field linewidth are broadened due to a strong external stress anisotropy field.The hard-axis and easy-axis components of magnetization can be tuned significantly by controlling the intensity and direction of stress and the in-plane uniaxial anisotropy field.

采用铁磁共振方法,研究了铁磁/反铁磁双层薄膜中交换各向异性和应力各向异性对其物理性质的影响.结果表明,单向各向异性来源于界面交换作用,应力各向异性对材料的磁化难易程度有较大影响.当外磁场方向与应力场方向平行时,应力场的存在将促进该方向的磁化.反之,应力场将会阻碍该方向的磁化.     

Grain size reduction of copper subjected to repetitive uniaxial compression combined with accumulative fold

This paper reports a novel method of repetitive uniaxial compression combined with accumulative fold for preparing bulk submicron- to nanocrystalline copper starting with a coarse grained counterpart. Grain size reduction and microstrain variations of the high purity copper samples after different passes of compression and fold are investigated by scanning electron microscope and x-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Our results show that the average grain size of samples decreases from about 830nm to 127nm as the number of compression passes increases to 30. Microstrain in the compressed sample is found to increase for the first 20 passes, but to decrease at the last 10 passes. The variations of compressive yield strength and the shift of XRD peaks to larger diffraction angles are observed in the squeezed sample. Our experimental results demonstrate that the repetitive uniaxial compression combined with accumulative fold is an effective method to prepare bulk nanocrystalline metallic materials, in particular for soft metals such as Cu, Al and Pb.     

单轴晶体中的负折射现象研究

分析了在各向同性介质和单轴晶体界面实现负折射的最佳条件。计算发现,通过调节光轴角和各向异性参量可以使得负折射现象更为明显,获得最佳光轴角和最大入射临界角。各向异性强的晶体实现负折射的入射角范围可能会很大。讨论了单轴晶体中和负折射率介质中的负折射现象的区别：负折射率介质中的负折射是由负的折射率引起的,单轴晶体中是由于各向异性决定的。同时还发现单轴晶体中的能流负折射现象不能实现Pendry在理论上所预言的完美透镜。

含有缺陷3C-SiC陶瓷拉伸性能的分子动力学模拟

SiC纤维增韧SiC基复合材料(SiC_f/SiC)由于其优越的性能而成为新一代核能系统重要候选材料之一.材料中的缺陷会使材料的力学性能发生变化,本文运用分子动力学程序LAMMPS模拟计算了分别含有空位、微空洞和反位替代三种缺陷的3C-SiC结构体系沿[100]方向的拉伸变形过程,原子间相互作用采用Tersoff多体势描述.通过模拟得到不同缺陷体系的应力—应变曲线和拉伸过程中体系能量,通过分析应力-应变曲线,得到了不同缺陷体系的杨氏模量、断裂应变、拉伸强度随缺陷"浓度"的变化关系,最后分析了3C-SiC拉伸断裂机理.研究结果表明,空位和微空洞对杨氏模量、拉升强度的影响类似,都是随着缺陷"浓度"的增加而减小,反位替代缺陷使体系的杨氏模量随缺陷"浓度"的增加而增大.
