An experimental study of dynamic tensile properties of glass fiber at low-temperatures

Tensile impact experiments of EC8.0−24×7 glass fiber bundles at different low temperaturesT(14°C, −40°C and −10°C) and strain rates ɛ were carried out, and complete stress-strain curves were obtained. Within the range of the experiment temperatures and strain rates, it is found that the initial modulusE, the ultimate strength σ_max and the unstable strain ɛ _b of the glass fiber bundles all increase with ɛ at an identicalT. At an identical ɛ, with the decrease ofT, E and σ_max increase; but ɛ _b increases when 10°C>T>−40°C and decreases when −40°C>T>−100°C. The strain-rate- and temperature-dependent bimodal Weibull statistical constitutive theory was adopted for the statistical analysis of the experimental results, and the Weibull parameters of single fiber were obtained. The results show that the bimodal Weibull distribution function is suitable to represent the strength distribution of the glass fiber at low temperature and different strain rates. The differences in the mechanical properties between EC8.0−24×7 and EC5.5−12 ×14 glass fiber bundles were also discussed.

Passive neutron area monitor with pairs of TLDs as neutron detector

A passive neutron area monitor has been designed using Monte Carlo methods; the monitor is a polyethylene cylinder with pairs of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD600 and TLD700) as thermal neutron detector. The monitor was calibrated with a bare and a thermalzed ²⁴¹AmBe neutron sources and its performance was evaluated measuring the ambient dose equivalent due to photoneutrons produced by a 15 MV linear accelerator for radiotherapy and the neutrons in the output of a TRIGA Mark III radial beam port.     

Analysis of Coupling and Radiation Properties for an Improved Dielectric Waveguide Directional Coupler Utilizing a Tapering Left-Handed Slab Core

The coupling and radiation characteristics of an improved dielectric waveguide directional coupler with a tapering left-handed slab core located in the coupling region are analyzed by the staircase approximation method, which combines the building block approach and multi-mode network theory with a rigorous mode-matching procedure. Particular attentions are directed toward the radiation characteristics under different structural parameters of the coupler. Numerical results indicate that the proposed coupler is very promising by shortening the coupling length significantly while keeping the radiation loss at a low level.     

Anisotropy of sound velocity for a new PbB4O7 crystal as determined by the laser ultrasonic technique

4 O₇ crystal is a new nonlinear optical crystal. For the first time the anisotropy of the velocities of its longitudinal and surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are determined by laser ultrasonic technique. The velocities of surface waves for X-, Y-, and Z-cut crystals are also calculated. The theoretical calculations of slowness curves are in good agreement with experimental results. The SAW slowness curve is elliptical for Y- or Z-cut crystal wafers, and circular for an X-cut wafer. Received: 27 January 1997/Accepted: 30 July 1997     

Feedback control of quantum system

Feedback is a significant strategy for the control of quantum system. Information acquisition is the greatest difficulty in quantum feedback applications. After discussing several basic methods for information acquisition, we review three kinds of quantum feedback control strategies: quantum feedback control with measurement, coherent quantum feedback, and quantum feedback control based on cloning and recognition. The first feedback strategy can effectively acquire information, but it destroys the coherence in feedback loop. On the contrary, coherent quantum feedback does not destroy the coherence, but the capability of information acquisition is limited. However, the third feedback scheme gives a compromise between information acquisition and measurement disturbance.     

Approximate time-optimal control of quantum ensembles based on sampling and learning

For a general quantum ensemble with Hamiltonian fluctuations, this paper proposes a sampling-based two-stage approximate time-optimal control algorithm with momentum terms and achieves a high-fidelity state transition of all member systems to a common target state within an approximate minimum time. The fidelity and the control time are respectively optimized in the two stages. In particular, the introduction of momentum terms greatly improves the convergence rate of the algorithm. Simulation experiments on a two-level quantum ensemble verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

DYNAMICAL ANALYSIS OF A CYLINDRICAL PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCER

In the present paper, the vibration of a cylindrical piezoelectric transducer induced by applied voltage, which can be used as the stator transducer of a cylindrical micromotor, is studied based on shell theory. The transducer is modelled as a thin elastic cylinder. The properties of the vibration modes of the transducer, such as mode frequencies and amplitude ratios of the mode shapes, are determined following Galerkin method. The response of the transducer under the four electric sources with 90° phase difference is then obtained by the modal summation method. With the results, the performance of the transducer under the electric sources can be estimated. The present work provides a general and precise theoretical modelling on the dynamical movement of the transducer.

Laser-assisted electron capture by a fast proton from a hydrogen atom

The first Born approximation is used to study the laser-assisted electron capture by a fast proton from a hydrogen atom. The laser modification on differential cross section peaks sharply in the forward direction. With the impact energy increasing, the change in integral cross section becomes notable. The more intense the laser, the greater the cross section is; the lower the frequency, the greater the cross section.     

Radiation Vulcanization of Magnetorheological Elastomers Based on Silicone Rubber

The fabrication of magnetorheological （MR） elastomers was studied by two vulcanization methods, including heat vulcanization （HV） and radiation vulcanization （RV）, were employed to fabricate MRE samples. The dynamical mechanical properties were characterized by using a dynamic mechanic analyzer. In particular, both the MR effect and its durability were investigated. The experimental results showed that RV samples have large magnetoinduced modulus, large zero-field modulus, and good durability property of MR effect. To explain these results, cubic deformation and plasticizer migration were analyzed. Large magneto-induced modulus of RV sample results from cubic deformation during vulcanization process. And the plasticizer migration results in better durability of MR effect.
