正交异性板条的渐近分析

本文阐明由三维薄弹性体的渐近分析导出各级精度板壳理论的基本方法。将多尺度分析用于板的内部区域和边界层区域导出应力,应变和位移等物理量的不同的无量纲小厚度参数ε的渐近展开式。与工程的方法不同,推导仅基于ε→0的渐近分析,对板的变形不做任何假定。给出正交异性板的平面应变渐近展开的具体列式,仅有一些常数待定。结果表明,内域解渐近级数的首项正是熟知的Kirchhoff板理论解。本文为内域解和边界层解的渐近匹配,从而正确表述圣维南原理并用以建立各级渐近解的边界条件进而求解的研究做好了准备。     

铁电薄膜在红外辐射作用下的动力响应

本文研究了红外探测器中红外焦平面列阵的象元———铁电薄膜微桥在红外辐射作用下的输出信号。用层合板壳作为微桥结构的力学模型,中间一层为压电材料,上下两层为金属材料电极。采用了力-电-热耦合的控制方程和变分原理,考虑了铁电薄膜的惯性力,推导出了基于Mindlin假设的压电材料层合板有限元公式。以红外探测器在夜间从飞机上探测地面的坦克为例,用有限单元法模拟了铁电薄膜微桥在红外辐射作用下的力、热、电输出信号,并对结果作了分析比较。

HEAT TRANSFER AND PRESSURE DROP FROM LOUVERED SURFACES IN AUTOMOTIVE HEAT EXCHANGERS

An investigation of heat transfer and pressure drop from some louvered surfaces is presented. The test rig and the measuring as well as the data evaluating procedures are described. The measured data are transferred and presented in a nondimenswnal form. The heal transfer data are provided mainly as Stanton numbers versus Reynolds number, and the pressure drop is given as Darcy friction factors versus Reynolds number. For comparing the performance of the various louvered surfaces, the flow area goodness factors and the so-called volume goodness factors are presented. All the louvered surfaces have been found to be more efficient than the corresponding smooth surface. The standard multilouvered fin surfaces were found to be most efficient, but one of the new surfaces also performed very well.     

COUPLING EFFECTS OF VOID SHAPE AND VOID SIZE ON THE GROWTH OF AN ELLIPTIC VOID IN A FIBER-REINFORCED HYPER-ELASTIC THIN PLATE

The growth of a prolate or oblate elliptic micro-void in a fiber reinforced anisotropic incompressible hyper-elastic rectangular thin plate subjected to uniaxial extensions is studied within the framework of finite elasticity. Coupling effects of void shape and void size on the growth of the void are paid special attention to. The deformation function of the plate with an isolated elliptic void is given, which is expressed by two parameters to solve the differential equation. The solution is approximately obtained from the minimum potential energy principle. Deformation curves for the void with a wide range of void aspect ratios and the stress distributions on the surface of the void have been obtained by numerical computation. The growth behavior of the void and the characteristics of stress distributions on the surface of the void are captured. The combined effects of void size and void shape on the growth of the void in the thin plate are discussed. The maximum stresses for the void with different sizes and different void aspect ratios are compared.     

3D finite element simulation of explosive welding of three-layer plates

A 3D finite element model of the explosive welding process of three-layer plates with materials of steel-copper-copper is established. Based on the presented model, the bonding mechanism is simulated and analyzed, different detonation modes are also comparatively studied to indicate the driving force spread in few microseconds. The results show that the three layer plates bond together after many times of impact between the flyers and the base driven by detonation wave, which is damping rapidly at each impa...     

Long‐time behavior of a nonlinear viscoelastic beam equation with past history

This paper is concerned with the existence of a global attractor for the nonlinear viscoelastic beam equation with past history memory where g(u_t) is a damping like | u_t | ^ru_t and f(u) is a source term like | u | ^αu ? | u | ^βu, by considering 0 ≤ β < α and r > 0.

Thermal radiation impact on magneto-hydrodynamic heat transfer micropolar fluid flow over a vertical moving porous plate: A finite difference approach

For this research, an examination on the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a micropolar fluid across a moving vertical porous plate for the presence of thermal radiation is achieved. It is necessary to translate the partial differential equations regulating the flow, heat, & mass transfer into dimensionless form employing proper non-dimensional variables, which are then cracked numerically by utilizing the Finite difference approach. Graphs are used to represent numerical values of various flow profiles; however, tables are used to represent the simulated values of rate coefficients. The velocity rises when the value of Grashof number, dimensionless viscosity ratio is raised, and the opposite effect is seen when the value of magnetic parameter, micro-gyration factor is raised. The result in skin friction coefficient improves when the values of magnetic parameter, micro-gyration factor, Prandtl number, and radiation are raised higher.     

In situ X‐ray data collection and structure phasing of protein crystals at Structural Biology Center 19‐ID

A prototype of a 96‐well plate scanner for in situ data collection has been developed at the Structural Biology Center (SBC) beamline 19‐ID, located at the Advanced Photon Source, USA. The applicability of this instrument for protein crystal diffraction screening and data collection at ambient temperature has been demonstrated. Several different protein crystals, including selenium‐labeled, were used for data collection and successful SAD phasing. Without the common procedure of crystal handling and subsequent cryo‐cooling for data collection at T = 100 K, crystals in a crystallization buffer show remarkably low mosaicity (<0.1°) until deterioration by radiation damage occurs. Data presented here show that cryo‐cooling can cause some unexpected structural changes. Based on the results of this study, the integration of the plate scanner into the 19‐ID end‐station with automated controls is being prepared. With improvement of hardware and software, in situ data collection will become available for the SBC user program including remote access.
