Low Pass metallic mesh interference filters for operation in the 165 GHz to 880 GHz region

Low Pass metallic mesh interference filters have been designed and constructed for operation in the region 340 m (880 GHz) to 1.8 mm (165 GHz). These filters have been shown to have excellent edge characteristics and good rejection regions. The results show that the mesh filter can be effectively used in both millimetre and submillimetre regions.Part of this work was performed while this author was at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, U.K.

正交试验法优选穿心莲内酯硫酸酯化反应工艺

硫酸酯化反应以分子结构中的羟基为反应位点,向有机分子中引入硫酸酯基,是一种有效改善天然产物水溶性的结构修饰途径[1]。有些药物因水溶性差,致使其在临床应用中存在一些问题,如生物利用度不高,服用量大,制成的片剂或胶囊体内吸收缓慢等。这类化合物经硫酸酯化后不但可以增加     

膨胀管残余应力测试

膨胀管残余应力是影响膨胀管抗外挤、内压强度的重要因素之一。确定膨胀管的残余应力,测试方法至关重要。在常用测试方法中,机械测量法中的盲孔法体现出测试的优越性。应用盲孔法测试J55、K55两种规格膨胀管的残余应力,并根据实际测试的应力水平和实验误差,采用应变释放系数分级法对试验结果进行修正,以提高测试结果的精度。实验结果表明,膨胀管膨胀后存在环向、轴向的残余应力,且外表面总是压残余应力。将实验结果与仿真结果对比,误差满足工程要求,说明盲孔法测试膨胀管残余应力方便、快捷、准确、有效。     

More non-semigroup Lie gradings

This note is devoted to the construction of two very easy examples, of respective dimensions 4 and 6, of graded Lie algebras whose grading is not given by a semigroup, the latter one being a semisimple algebra. It is shown that 4 is the minimal possible dimension for such graded Lie algebras.     

Geometrically nonlinear analysis with a 4-node membrane element formulated by the quadrilateral area coordinate method

Recently, a 4-node quadrilateral membrane element AGQ6-I, has been successfully developed for analysis of linear plane problems. Since this model is formulated by the quadrilateral area coordinate method (QACM), a new natural coordinate system for developing quadrilateral finite element models, it is much less sensitive to mesh distortion than other 4-node isoparametric elements and free of various locking problems that arise from irregular mesh geometries. In order to extend these advantages of QACM to nonlinear applications, the total Lagrangian (TL) formulations of element AGQ6-I was established in this paper, which is also the first time that a plane QACM element being applied in the implicit geometrically nonlinear analysis. Numerical examples of geometrically nonlinear analysis show that the presented formulations can prevent loss of accuracy in severely distorted meshes, and therefore, are superior to those of other 4-node isoparametric elements. The efficiency of QACM for developing simple, effective and reliable serendipity plane membrane elements in geometrically nonlinear analysis is demonstrated clearly.     

Meshing Requirements for Tidal Modeling in the Western North Atlantic

This paper presents an a posteriori approach to unstructured mesh generation via a localized truncation error analysis and applies it to the Western North Atlantic Tidal (WNAT) model domain. The WNAT model domain encompasses the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and the North Atlantic Ocean east to the 60°W Meridian. Herein, we pay particular attention to the area surrounding the Bahamas.

A bathymetric data set with fine resolution is employed in seven separate linear, harmonic simulations of shallow water tidal flow for seven different tidal-forcing constituents. Each set of simulation results is used to perform a truncation error analysis of a linear, harmonic form of the depth-averaged momentum equations for each of the seven different tidal-forcing frequencies. Truncation error is then driven to a more uniform, domain-wide value by solving for local node spacing requirements. The process is built upon successful research aiming to produce unstructured grids for large-scale domains that can be used in the accurate and efficient modeling of shallow water flow. The methodology described herein can also be transferred to other modeling applications.     

Finite element and boundary element contact stress analysis with remeshing technique

The fundamental part of the contact stress problem solution using a finite element method is to locate possible contact areas reliably and efficiently. In this research, a remeshing technique is introduced to determine the contact region in a given accuracy. In the proposed iterative method, the meshes near the contact surface are modified so that the edge of the contact region is also an element’s edge. This approach overcomes the problem of surface representation at the transition point from contact to non-contact region. The remeshing technique is efficiently employed to adapt the mesh for more precise representation of the contact region. The method is applied to both finite element and boundary element methods. Overlapping of the meshes in the contact region is prevented by the inclusion of displacement and force constraints using the Lagrange multipliers technique. Since the method modifies the mesh only on the contacting and neighbouring region, the solution to the matrix system is very close to the previous one in each iteration. Both direct and iterative solver performances on BEM and FEM analyses are also investigated for the proposed incremental technique. The biconjugate gradient method and LU with Cholesky decomposition are used for solving the equation systems. Two numerical examples whose analytical solutions exist are used to illustrate the advantages of the proposed method. They show a significant improvement in accuracy compared to the solutions with fixed meshes.     

A parallel adaptive mesh approach for flowfields with shock waves

A simple and efficient implementation of Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) with distributed-memory approach is presented. Introducing a lookup table including grid connectivity information and simplified algorithms for AMR, the procedures for reconstructing adaptive grids are carried out in parallel, with local data to a large extent. A simple static load-balancing scheme is adopted, and the grids are not repartitioned and no data redistribution is performed. A numerical example on two different parallel computers shows that the proposed implementation of AMR is effective to reduce the computational time for unsteady flows with shock waves.
