Equivalent nonlinear beam model for the 3-D analysis of shear-type buildings: Application to aeroelastic instability

Tower buildings can be very sensitive to dynamic actions and their dynamic analysis is usually carried out numerically through sophisticated finite element models. In this paper, an equivalent nonlinear one-dimensional shear–shear–torsional beam model immersed in a three-dimensional space is introduced to reproduce, in an approximate way, the dynamic behavior of tower buildings. It represents an extension of a linear beam model recently introduced by the authors, accounting for nonlinearities generated by the stretching of the columns. The constitutive law of the beam is identified from a discrete model of a 3D-frame, via a homogenization process, which accounts for the rotation of the floors around the tower axis. The macroscopic shear strain in the equivalent beam is produced by the bending of columns, accompanied by negligible rotation of the floors. A coupled nonlinear shear–torsional mechanical model is thus obtained. The coupling between shear and torsion is related to a non-symmetric layout of the columns, while mechanical nonlinearities are proportional to the slenderness of the columns. The model can be used for the analysis of the response of tower buildings to any kind of dynamic and static excitation. A first application is here presented to investigate the effect of mechanical and aerodynamic coupling on the critical galloping conditions and on the postcritical behavior of tower buildings, based on a quasi-steady model of aerodynamic forces.     

The First Catalytic Synthesis of an Acrylate from CO2 and an Alkene—A Rational Approach

For more than three decades the catalytic synthesis of acrylates from the cheap and abundantly available C₁ building block carbon dioxide and alkenes has been an unsolved problem in catalysis research, both in academia and industry. Herein, we describe a homogeneous catalyst based on nickel that permits the catalytic synthesis of the industrially highly relevant acrylate sodium acrylate from CO₂, ethylene, and a base, as demonstrated, at this stage, by a turnover number of greater than 10 with respect to the metal.     

论坚持社会主义先进文化前进方向

绿色建筑发展关键主体动态博弈——基于供给侧结构性改革视角

 中国绿色建筑市场正处于稳步发展阶段，但仍然存在供需结构不合理、各方利益关系协调不均衡等问题。基于供给侧结构性改革视角，分析了绿色建筑发展过程中“供应侧”和“需求侧”两端正外部经济性特征，构建了政府与供、需两端关键主体动态博弈模型，提出了基于政府、房地产开发商和消费者的对策建议。通过研究，表明绿色建筑发展前期阶段存在正外部经济效应和市场失灵共生现象，供、需两端并不能满足帕累托效率的平衡量要求，只通过市场自身资源配置功能调节绿色建筑市场结构和各主体利益关系存在局限性，政府的适度干预有利于实现供、需两端最优利益组合和利益均衡，有助于加快实现传统建筑市场转型升级。     

Thiadiazolo-Azaacenes

This work reports the synthesis and characterization of bis- and tetrakis(thiadiazolo)-appended di- and tetraazaacenes, displaying up to seven catenated benzene/pyrazine rings. The targets are obtained by condensation of benzo-bis(thiadiazole)-4,5-dione with aromatic di- and tetraamines. The condensation products—up to a heptacene-like species—are stable but can be insoluble. Soluble derivatives are readily processible, but do not show enhanced electron affinities, as the two or four attached benzothiadiazole units are effectively resonance-separated from the acene body, maximizing the number of Clar-sextets.     

Crystal structures of functional building blocks derived from bis(benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl)methane

The syntheses of three bis(benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl)methane derivatives, namely bis(benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl)methanone, C₁₇H₁₀OS₂, (I), 1,1‐bis(benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl)‐3‐(trimethylsilyl)prop‐2‐yn‐1‐ol, C₂₂H₂₀OS₂Si, (II), and 1,1‐bis(benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl)prop‐2‐yn‐1‐ol, C₁₉H₁₂OS₂, (III), are described and their crystal structures discussed comparatively. The conformation of ketone (I) and the respective analogues are rather similar for most of the compounds compared. This is true for the interplanar angles, the C_aryl—C_bridge—C_aryl angles and the dihedral angles. The best resemblance is found for a bioisotere of (I), viz. 2,2′‐dinaphthyl ketone, (VII). By way of interest, the crystal packings also reveal similarities between (I) and (VII). In (I), the edge‐to‐face interactions seen between two napthyl residues in (VII) are substituted by S…π contacts between the benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl units in (I). In the structures of the bis(benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl)methanols, i.e. (II) and (III), the interplanar angles are also quite similar compared with analogues and related active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) containing the dithiophen‐2‐ylmethane scaffold, though the dihedral angles show a larger variability and produce unsymmetrical molecules.     

卷泥片雕塑：当代钧窑造型艺术的新高度

1990年代中后期,卷泥片成型技艺引进钧窑造型艺术。钧窑卷泥片陶艺造型从理念上讲,需要创作者对泥性的深刻理解与把握,需要基本认知泥片成型工艺要求,需要熟知卷泥片肌理及其应用;从创作艺术素养和思想上讲,需要创作者从传统文化资源里汲取养素,在日常生活中寻求创作灵感。卷泥片造型技法进入钧窑成型艺术无疑将给当代中国钧窑带来极大的艺术提升潜力和张力。
