Measurement Error Correction for Distributed Properties – Filter Cake Thickness Measurements

The measurement of a distributed property is frequently encountered in engineering applications. The impact of a possible measurement error on the measured distribution is described and two methods to account for such an error are detailed: A Fourier transform based deconvolution procedure and a moment based deconvolution approach via kernel estimators are presented. The deconvolution methods can be used in many particle characterization and process applications where particle features or properties are commonly presented in a distributed form. In the current instance, these methods are carefully explored by using artificially generated data and applied to experimental data obtained from filter cake thickness measurements.

高架桥声屏障高度对列车气动特性影响的数值模拟

采用计算流体力学方法对高架桥声屏障高度影响高速列车空气动力特性进行数值研究.通过网格划分、湍流模型选取、边界条件设置等来提高数值计算精度.结果表明,当高速列车运行在下风向时,头车、中间车上的侧向力随着声屏障高度增加而逐渐下降.头车所受的侧翻力矩在整车中最大,且随着声屏障高度的增加而逐渐减小.随着声屏障高度的增加,上风向工况下中间车受到的侧翻力矩要大于下风向工况.上、下风向工况下高速列车气动特性差异主要是由于流动空腔中列车所处的相对位置不同,改变了车体表面的压力分布,从而改变了车体所受到的气动力、力矩.

Transient Characteristics of the Yield Surface of Electrorheological Clutch

The characteristic of transient yield surface in electrorheological clutch has been studied. It shows that the characteristics of clutch are dependent on the parameterβ, which is in the yield stress formula of ERF, when extra electric field was applied suddenly. In the case ofβ>2, the yield surface generates from the inner cylinder. In the case ofβ<2, the yield surface generates from the outer cylinder. The direct numerical results deriving from the Crank-Nicoson finite difference method with the regulation parameter model are also presented.     

Doping and temperature dependence of electronic Raman response in cuprate superconductors

The doping and temperature dependence of the electronic Raman response in cuprate superconductors is studied within the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism. It is shown that the temperature dependent depletion at low-energy shifts is faster in the B1g symmetry than in the B2g symmetry. In analogy to the domelike shape of the doping dependent superconducting transition temperature, the maximal peak energy in the B2g channel occurs around the optimal doping, and then decreases in both underdoped and overdoped regimes. Moreover, the overall density of Cooper pairs increases with increasing doping in the underdoped regime.     

Theoretical investigation of nonlinear optical behavior for rod and T-Shaped phenothiazine based D-π-A organic compounds and their derivatives

The exploration of novel materials with excellent nonlinear optical (NLO) features is an area of frontline investigation for scientific community from technological point of view. This study reports the novel phenothiazine-based rod-shaped and T-shaped NLO molecules which are quantum chemically designed from synthesized compounds: rod-shaped (CFA and CBA) and T-shaped (CTA, CCA and CPA). Structural tailoring was performed on D-π-π-A centered CPA chromophore and the effect of various π-spacers, as well as solvents on NLO response properties is investigated. Density functional theory (DFT) along with time dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations have been executed at B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) functional to examine entire analysis. Results showed a smaller energy gap in structurally modified compounds as compared to reference CPA. Global reactivity parameters analysis revealed smaller hardness and larger softness values in T-shaped compounds. UV–Vis analysis of investigated molecules displayed a red shift in absorption maximum value as compared to CPA. Natural bond orbital (NBO) and frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis revealed the stability and intra-molecular electron transferring (ICT) process in investigated molecules. ICT showed the effective charge shift from donor to acceptor via π-spacers. Overall, promising NLO response exists in gas phase and different solvents (acetonitrile, ethyl alcohol and water). Interestingly, proposed molecule CPP presented a maximum value of linear polarizability < α > as 1518.23 a.u and first hyperpolarizability (β_tot) as 755322.39 a.u in acetonitrile solvent. In short, entitled chromophores exhibited excellent NLO properties due to their lower charge transport resistance. This NLO study may open a new topic for researchers to discover novel NLO for hi-tech submissions of modern era.     

闪光照相中源尺寸和散射对成像的影响

 利用Monte Carlo(MC)模拟技术解释实验中心线灰度曲线的各部分波形。结果发现,系统中的散射照射量、光源的尺寸和H-D特征曲线的形状对实验灰度曲线的各部分波形均有影响：散射量越大,中心信号幅度越低;H-D曲线趾部的非线性越严重,中心信号幅度也越低;光源尺寸造成图像越模糊。指出了用实验波形可以半定量确定系统散射程度和光源尺寸。在测量照射量时,应该尽可能避免散射的干扰,用台阶法测量H-D曲线时,应使台阶远离剂量片而前移。     

The Effect of Temperature on Lattice Mechanical Properties of Noble and Transition Metals

A simple pseudopotential model is used for the calculation of the temperature dependence of lattice mechanical properties which also depend on the phonon density of states such as lattice heat capacity C _V , Debye temperature _D, harmonic contribution to free energy, thermal pressure, isothermal bulk modulus corrected to the fourth order, volume thermal expansion coefficient , Debye-Waller factor, mean-square displacement, Debye-Waller temperature parameter, and X-ray characteristic temperature _M of Cu, Ag, Au, Ni, Pd, Pt, Rh, and Ir. The contribution of d-like electrons is taken into account by introducing repulsive short-range Born-Mayer-like term. Very recently proposed screening function due to Sarkar et al. has been used to obtain the screened form factor. The theoretical results are compared with experimental findings wherever possible. A good agreement between theoretical investigations and experimental findings show the ability of our model potential to reproduce wide class of properties in noble and transition metals.     

Non-linear Viscoelastic Rheological Properties of PCC/PEG Suspensions

The shear thinning and shear thickening rheological properties of PCC/PEG suspension were investigated with the increase of oscillatory amplitude stress at different constant frequencies. The results show that the complex viscosity was initially independent of stress amplitude and obvious shear thinning occurred, then dramatic shear thickening took place after reaching the minimum viscosity. Typically, in a constant frequency of 5 rad/s, the elastic modulus, viscous modulus, and tanδ （δ is the out-of-phase angle） vs. the stress amplitude was investigated. It is found that the elastic modulus initially appeared to be independent of stress amplitude and then exhibited a rapid decrease, but the viscous modulus was independent of amplitude stress at lower amplitude stress. After reaching the minimum value the viscous modulus showed a rapid increase. On the other hand, tanδ increased from 0.6 to 92, which indicates that the transition from elastic to viscous had taken place and tanδ showed a steep increase when shear thickening occurred. Lissajous plots are shown for the dissipated energy vs. different maximum stress amplitude in the shear thinning and shear thickening regions. The relationship of dissipated energy vs. maximum stress amplitude was determined, which follows a power law. In the shear thinning region the exponent was 1.91, but it steeply increases to 3.97 in the shear thickening region.
