Ultrasonic Vibration Suspends Large Pendant Drops

A stationary substrate can suspend only small pendant drops even with excellent wetting ability because of gravity. We report the suspension of large pendant water drops by a copper substrate that vibrates ultrasonically with a frequency of 22 kHz. The mass of the largest pendant drop suspended by the vibrating substrate reaches 1.1 g, which is 9 times that by the same stationary substrate. The pendant drop deforms drasticaJly and quickly at both the beginning and the end of the vibration procedure. As the vibration power increases, the contact area between the drop and substrate expands and the drop height shrinks accordingly. Theoretical analysis indicates that the Bernoulli pressure induced by ultrasonic vibration may contribute strongly to enhancing the suspensibility of pendant drops.     

Vibration Characteristics of Acoustically Levitated Object with Rigid and Elastic Reflectors

Levitation stability is a crucial factor that influences acoustic levitation capability. We present two sample-including models for a single-axis acoustic levitator with either a rigid or elastic reflector. Numerical analysis shows that, with the rigid reflector, both the decay time from initial disturbance and the vibration amplitude increase with sample density, which is unfavorable for levitation stability. However, with the elastic reflector, the decay time and the vibration amplitude are greatly reduced by choosing appropriate parameters of the reflector. Experimental results agree well with theoretical predictions, indicating that levitation stability can be remarkably enhanced by replacing the rigid reflector with an elastic reflector.

声悬浮条件下Ag-Cu共晶合金的无容器凝固研究

采用声悬浮技术结合激光加热,实现了Ag-Cu共晶合金的无容器熔化与凝固,并通过CMOS图像分析与数值计算,研究了声悬浮过程中合金熔体的温度场分布特性.由于声辐射压作用,合金熔体在声悬浮条件下呈现扁球或圆饼形,表面温度沿赤道点到极点方向升高.凝固样品表面出现涟漪状波纹,统计分析发现,该表面波纹出现在大变形(a/b>2.1)的样品上.波纹中心为共晶形核点,且波纹传播方向与共晶生长方向相同.分析表明,表面形核以及形核后辐射推移的固液界面是形成表面波纹的先决条件.声场的增强能够促进悬浮样品在表面形核.

首先,采用导重准则法对在固定载荷下以位移为约束的拓扑优化问题进行计算,运用一种新的插值模型推导了在单工况作用下的最小质量拓扑优化迭代算法,并通过一个算例验证了该算法的可行性。然后,将该算法应用于残损航空器搬移拖车悬臂的拓扑优化设计中,将由此获得的悬臂的拓扑形貌与结构优化软件Optistruct得到的拓扑结果进行对比。结果表明,二者的迭代速度差别不大,且导重准则法的优化效果更好。作为概念设计,所得的拓扑形貌为以后悬臂结构的优化设计提供了有效参考。     

超声场中Ag-Cu-Sb三元共晶的生长机制

在频率为35 kHz的超声场中实现了三元Ag_42.4Cu_21.6Sb₃₆共晶的液固转变. 凝固过程中合金熔体内部的声场分布表明, 在声波的传播方向上, 随着液固界面自下而上推移, 界面处液相中的声强逐渐升高. 超声场的不均匀性促使(ε +θ +Sb)三元共晶生长形态沿声波传播方向呈现出“三元离异共晶-不规则和规则三元共晶混合组织-规则三元共晶”的区域特征. 在声强最高的区域内, 空化效应引发3个共晶相独立形核, 声流有效抑制了共晶相的协同生长, 组织生长形态为粗大的三元离异共晶. 同时, 声场加速了共晶液固界面前沿的溶质传输, 降低了3个共晶相对溶质元素的固溶程度.

Dynamic Superposition and Levitation Capability of Two Confronting Ultrasonic Waves

The superposition dynamics of two confronting ultrasonic waves and their levitation capability for centimeter-sized thin disks are investigated by numerical analyses and validated by experiments. The sound pressure simulation reveals that two opposite ultrasonic waves provide a more effective standing-wave field than a single ultrasonic wave when the diameter of disk-shaped object approaches the wavelength scale. The dynamic superposition of two confronting beams facilitates the acoustic levitation of the clay disk and aluminum disk with diameters of 0.97 and 0.90. The acoustic radiation forces exerting on these thin disks are measured experimentally, which exhibit a better levitation stability for the centimeter-sized thin disks. The equilibrium levitation positions of the two disks are located near the sound pressure node, and the maximum acoustic radiation pressure on their surfaces is less than one percent of the maximum sound pressure.     

Al-Cu-Ge合金的热物理性质与快速凝固规律研究

Al-Cu-Ge合金是典型的三元共晶体系,在工业上有重要的应用价值,对其进行研究有助于了解该合金的热物理性质和提高该合金的结构性能.本文选择了Al55Cu10Ge35,Al70Cu10Ge20和Al80Cu10Ge10三种成分合金作为研究对象,对合金的固态比热和热膨胀系数进行了测量,并对比分析了合金在近平衡凝固和落管快速凝固条件下的组织特征和凝固路径.研究发现,合金比热随Al含量的增大和Ge含量的减少而增大.这三种成分合金的软化温度均为666 K,物理热膨胀系数α在370—650 K温度范围内基本一致,约为1.5×10-5K-1.近平衡凝固条件下合金凝固过程中最后一步反应生成的均为(Al)+(Ge)二相共晶而不是三元共晶,这表明(Al)、(Ge)和CuAl2相在这三种成分的Al-Cu-Ge合金中难以同时形核并协同生长.然而,在快速凝固条件下,初生相的形核和生成受到抑制,合金中更易于形成二相共晶和三元共晶组织.
