砖烟囱爆破拆除不同切口形状的数值模拟

针对烟囱爆破拆除时爆破切口形状的确定往往按经验确定,没有重视烟囱倒塌过程中一些问题很难通过理论预见的情况,利用ANSYS/LS-DYNA软件数值模拟了常见的长方形切口、正梯形切口、倒梯形切口这3种爆破切口形状对烟囱倒塌拆除过程并进行了对比和分析,研究结果表明:首先从爆破切口闭合时间看到,倒梯形切口闭合时间最长,正梯形切口闭合时间次之,长方形切口闭合时间最短。其次从烟囱顶端着地时间分析,正梯形切口烟囱顶端着地时间最长,而其它两种切口方案次之,并且这两种方案对烟囱倒塌时间差不多相等。再从模拟烟囱倒塌的过程分析,正梯形切口及长方形切口烟囱倒塌过程出现"后座"现象。最后从烟囱倒塌顶端速度变化曲线中看出正梯形切口烟囱倒塌方案对地面的冲击力最小,引起地面的振动强度最小。     

起重机主梁腹板变形自动矫正执行器设计

起重机主梁生产线中下盖板与形梁组对时,用人工矫正方法矫正腹板波浪变形会在主梁腹板上留下焊疤,并增加没有附加值的打磨操作。为了改善这一状况,并高效配合机器人实施定位焊,采用磁力吸附原理进行腹板变形的自动矫正。首先对形梁腹板变形进行测量,并拟合出变形曲线,不同格子间的变形均为凹变形,最大变形值为24mm。接着利用有限元方法分析了磁铁布置方式对矫正效果的影响:在同样的磁铁吸附应力和布置方式下,大筋板间的间距越大,矫正效果越明显;而在同样的大筋板间距下,初始凹变形小有利于矫正;对所有的格子间,永磁铁距腹板下边缘越近,矫正效果越明显,同样的磁铁(长宽比大于1),横放比竖放的矫正效果明显。最后研发了自动矫正执行器的物理样机,其由吸附单元、推拉单元、结构单元、传感单元和控制单元组成,并进行了现场试验,测试结果满足矫正工艺的精度要求(±2mm),同时也验证了有限元分析结果的准确性。主梁腹板变形自动矫正执行器的研制实现了腹板变形识别、腹板临时连接的建立、矫正过程力感知和矫正运动可控。该装置实现了机器人定位焊前的腹板变形自动矫正,对前道工序的焊接工艺优化具有一定意义。     

多级蜿蜒磁路式磁流变阻尼器的设计与分析

为了改善磁流变阻尼器的阻尼特性,设计了一种多级蜿蜒磁路式磁流变阻尼器。该磁流变阻尼器通过导磁环和阻磁环的堆叠来引导磁感线的走向,迫使磁感线数次穿过磁流变阻尼器的节流通道,提高了节流通道的利用效率。建立了考虑磁流变液非线性流动特性的数学模型,并通过有限元方法进行了磁路分析,进而对所设计的磁流变阻尼器的特性进行预测。将所设计的磁流变阻尼器的阻尼特性与具有相同体积的传统磁流变阻尼器进行了比较,包括可控阻尼力、等效阻尼和动态范围。结果显示在正弦激励速度为0.125m/s,并通入2.0A电流的情形下,所设计的磁流变阻尼器的最大可控阻尼力为11 000N,约为传统磁流变阻尼器的2.3倍。此外,所设计的磁流变阻尼器并没有使零场情形下的阻尼力增大。所设计的磁流变阻尼器具有优良的阻尼性能,适用于广泛的工程减振应用。     

Magnetic field-assisted photochemical machining (MFAPCM) of SS316L

In this paper, a new technique of photochemical machining (PCM) process has been described. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of applying a magnetic field on the PCM of AISI 316?L stainless steel. The experiments were planned and conducted using a Full Factorial Design (FFD) approach. The control parameters selected were magnetic field, temperature, concentration and time. The analysis of the results shows significant improvement in the etch rate due to the application of a magnetic field. The highest etch rate was achieved at a concentration of 700?g/l, at the temperature of 60°C in a static magnetic field. The improvement of the etch rate is 2.5 times with the application of magnetic field as compared to the conventional PCM process.     

Single particle tracking of fluorescent nanodiamonds in cells and organisms

Ever since the discovery of fullerenes in 1985, nanocarbon has demonstrated a wide range of applications in various areas of science and engineering. Compared with metal, oxide, and semiconductor nanoparticles, the carbon-based nanomaterials have distinct advantages in both biotechnological and biomedical applications due to their inherent biocompatibility. Fluorescent nanodiamond (FND) joined the nanocarbon family in 2005. It was initially developed as a contrast agent for bioimaging because it can emit bright red photoluminescence from negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers built in the diamond matrix. A notable application of this technology is to study the cytoplasmic dynamics of living cells by tracking single bioconjugated FNDs in intracellular medium. This article provides a critical review on recent advances and developments of such single particle tracking (SPT) research. It summarizes SPT and related studies of FNDs in cells (such as cancer cell lines) and organisms (including zebrafish embryos, fruit fly embryos, whole nematodes, and mice) using assorted imaging techniques.     

Structure and Magnetic Property Control of Copper Hydroxide Acetate by Non‐Classical Crystallization

Copper hydroxide acetate (CHA), one layered hydroxide compound with tunable magnetism, attracts great interest because of its potential applications in memory devices. However, ferromagnetism for CHA is only demonstrated by means of GPa pressure. Herein, a new method is reported, involving the combination of different crystallization pathways to control crystallization of amorphous CHA toward the formation of CHA/polymer composites with tunable magnetic properties and even a tunability that can be tested at room temperature. By using poly[(ethylene glycol)₆ methyl ether methacrylate]‐block‐poly[2‐(acetoacetoxy) ethyl methacrylate] (PEGMA‐b‐PAEMA) diblock copolymers as additives in combination with a post‐treatment process by ultracentrifugation, it is demonstrated that CHA and PEGMA‐b‐PAEMA form composites exhibiting different magnetic properties, depending on CHA in‐plane nanostructures. Analytical characterization reveals that crystallization of CHA is induced by ultracentrifugation, during which CHA nanostructures can be well controlled by changing the degrees of polymerization of the PEGMA and PAEMA blocks and their block length ratios. These findings not only present the first example of using crystallization from polymer stabilized amorphous precursors toward the generation of magnetic nanomaterials with tunable magnetism but also pave the way for the future design of functional composite materials.     

Utilizing Iron's Attractive Chemical and Magnetic Properties in Microrocket Design,Extended Motion,and Unique Performance

All‐in‐one material for microrocket propulsion featuring acid‐based bubble generation and magnetic guidance is presented. Electrochemically deposited iron serves as both a propellant, toward highly efficient self‐propulsion in acidic environments, and as a magnetic component enabling complete motion control. The new microrockets display longer lifetime and higher propulsion efficiency compared to previously reported active metal zinc‐based microrockets due to the chemical properties of iron and the unique structure of the microrockets. These iron‐based microrockets also demonstrate unique and attractive cargo towing and autonomous release capabilities. The latter is realized upon loss of the magnetic properties due to acid‐driven iron dissolution. More interestingly, these bubble‐propelled microrockets assemble via magnetic interactions into a variety of complex configurations and train structures, which enrich the behavior of micromachines. Modeling of the magnetic forces during the microrocket assembly and cargo capture confirms these unique experimentally observed assembly and cargo‐towing behaviors. These findings provide a new concept of blending propellant and magnetic components into one, toward simplifying the design and fabrication of artificial micro/nanomachines, realizing new functions and capabilities for a variety of future applications.     

Hybrid Nanoscopy of Hybrid Nanomaterials

The combination of complementary techniques to characterize materials at the nanoscale is crucial to gain a more complete picture of their structure, a key step to design and fabricate new materials with improved properties and diverse functions. Here it is shown that correlative atomic force microscopy (AFM) and localization‐based super‐resolution microscopy is a useful tool that provides insight into the structure and emissive properties of fluorescent β‐lactoglobulin (βLG) amyloid‐like fibrils. These hybrid materials are made by functionalization of βLG with organic fluorophores and quantum dots, the latter being relevant for the production of 1D inorganic nanostructures templated by self‐assembling peptides. Simultaneous functionalization of βLG fibers by QD655 and QD525 allows for correlative AFM and two‐color super‐resolution fluorescence imaging of these hybrid materials. These experiments allow the combination of information about the topography and number of filaments that compose a fibril, as well as the emissive properties and nanoscale spatial distribution of the attached fluorophores. This study represents an important step forward in the characterization of multifunctionalized hybrid materials, a key challenge in nanoscience.     

Photoacoustic‐Guided Surgery with Indocyanine Green‐Coated Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Clusters

A common cause of local tumor recurrence in brain tumor surgery results from incomplete surgical resection. Adjunctive technologies meant to facilitate gross total resection have had limited efficacy to date. Contrast agents used to delineate tumors preoperatively cannot be easily or accurately used in the real‐time operative setting. Although multimodal imaging contrast agents are developed to help the surgeon discern tumor from normal tissue in the operating room, these contrast agents are not readily translatable. This study has developed a novel contrast agent comprised solely of two Food and Drug Administration approved components, indocyanine green (ICG) and superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles—with no additional amphiphiles or carrier materials, to enable preoperative detection by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and intraoperative photoacoustic (PA) imaging. The encapsulation efficiency of both ICG and SPIO within the formulated clusters is ≈100%, and the total ICG payload is 20–30% of the total weight (ICG + SPIO). The ICG–SPIO clusters are stable in physiologic conditions; can be taken up within tumors by enhanced permeability and retention; and are detectable by MR. In a preclinical surgical resection model in mice, following injection of ICG–SPIO clusters, animals undergoing PA‐guided surgery demonstrate increased progression‐free survival compared to animals undergoing microscopic surgery.
