利用ABAQUS有限元仿真软件研究不同喷射角度强化研磨加工GCr15轴承钢板过程的塑性变形,得到不同喷射角度与等效塑性应变沿真实路径距离的关系,并通过拉伸试验进行验证。喷射角度为90°的强化研磨加工伸长率为1.4%,相比未经过强化研磨加工的伸长率数值缩减了2.0%。断口收缩率由空白组的4.9%降低到喷射角为90°的2.2%。结合仿真和试验可知,强化研磨加工中喷射角度越大,塑性变形能力越低,材料加工越难。

塔里木盆地克拉苏构造带油气群下白垩统巴什基奇克组埋深超过6 000 m,储层基质渗透率低,裂缝普遍发育,构造对储层的改造作用明显,但博孜9井的勘探突破反映出不同区带间构造改造作用差异较大、非均质性极强,重新认识构造对储层的改造作用对于预测超深层储层、指导油气勘探生产具有重要的意义。为此,基于钻井取心、构造平衡恢复、裂缝充填物同位素测年、区块应力数值模拟等资料,结合流体包裹体、声发射古应力、铸体薄片等实验分析方法,从定性分析到定量计算、研究了克拉苏构造带油气群超深层储层的构造改造作用及其差异性。研究结果表明:①北部天山造山带及南部古隆起控制了该构造带储层的沉积格局及差异构造变形,形成巴什基奇克组储层"西薄东厚"的分布特征;②博孜区段古应力最小,构造变形主要为正向挤压、逆冲传播,局部井区为斜向压扭;③大北区段主要为斜向压扭,古应力较小,构造变形为逆冲叠置;克深区段古应力最大,构造变形主要为正向挤压、后缘逆冲抬升、前缘滑脱收缩;④差异构造变形使同一构造带不同构造变形样式的构造减孔量呈现出较大的差别,且控制了不同区段造缝期与成岩胶结的叠加影响、中晚期裂缝网络与油气成藏期的配置关系,加剧了储层的非均质性,是区段间产能差异的基础改造因素;⑤现今构造应力的大小及方向影响裂缝有效性,南部为强挤压应力区,背斜相对高部位裂缝走向与现今应力交角较小,裂缝有效性最好;⑥构造成岩环境决定了构造裂缝充填物的类型,北部区块以淡水—半碱水介质成岩环境为主,裂缝充填物类型为方解石,有利于对储层进行酸化压裂改造。     

RESERVOIR PROPERTIES OF BARREMIAN – APTIAN URGONIAN LIMESTONES,SE FRANCE,PART 1: INFLUENCE OF STRUCTURAL HISTORY ON POROSITY-PERMEABILITY VARIATIONS

Upper Barremian – Lower Aptian inner platform “Urgonian” limestones in the Mont de Vaucluse region, SE France, consist of alternating metre-scale microporous and tight intervals. This paper focuses on the influence of structural deformation on the reservoir properties of the Urgonian limestone succession in a study area near the town of Rustrel. Petrographic, petrophysical and structural data were recovered from five fully-cored boreholes, from the walls of a 100 m long underground tunnel, and from a 50 m long transect at a nearby outcrop. The data allowed reservoir property variations in the Urgonian limestones to be studied from core to reservoir scale. Eleven Reservoir Rock Types (RRTs) were identified based on petrographic features (texture, grain size), reservoir properties (porosity, permeability), and the frequency of structural discontinuities such as fractures, faults and stylolites. Tight and microporous reservoir rock types were distinguished. Tight reservoir rock types were characterised by early cementation of intergranular pore spaces and by the presence of frequent structural discontinuities. By contrast microporous reservoir rock types contained preserved intragranular microporosity and matrix permeability, but had very few structural discontinuities. Observed vertical alternations of microporous and tight rock types are interpreted to have been controlled by the early diagenesis of the Urgonian carbonates. Deformation associated with regional-scale tectonic phases, including Albian – Cenomanian “Durancian” uplift (∼105 to 96 Ma) and Pyrenean compression (∼55 to 25 Ma), resulted in the modification of the initial petrophysical properties of the Urgonian limestones. An early diagenetic imprint conditioned both the intensity of structural deformations and the associated circulations of diagenetic and meteoric fluids. Evolution of the Reservoir Rock Types is therefore linked both to the depositional conditions and to subsequent phases of structural deformation.     

Towards a Better Prediction of Cell Settling on Nanostructure Arrays—Simple Means to Complicated Ends

Vertical arrays of nanostructures (NSs) are emerging as promising platforms for probing and manipulating live mammalian cells. The broad range of applications requires different types of interfaces, but cell settling on NS arrays is not yet fully controlled and understood. Cells are both seen to deform completely into NS arrays and to stay suspended like tiny fakirs, which have hitherto been explained with differences in NS spacing or density. Here, a better understanding of this phenomenon is provided by using a model that takes into account the extreme membrane deformation needed for a cell to settle into a NS array. It is shown that, in addition to the NS density, cell settling depends strongly on the dimensions of the single NS, and that the settling can be predicted for a given NS array geometry. The predictive power of the model is confirmed by experiments and good agreement with cases from the literature. Furthermore, the influence of cell‐related parameters is evaluated theoretically and a generic method of tuning cell settling through surface coating is demonstrated experimentally. These findings allow a more rational design of NS arrays for the numerous exciting biological applications where the mode of cell settling is crucial.     

Simulation of media behaviour in vibration assisted abrasive flow machining

Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is an abrasive-based precision finishing process used for achieving surface finish in micro and nano-level. The AFM polishes surfaces by extruding a visco-elastic media in contact with the workpiece. The media, also called a ‘flexible tool’, plays a key role in the performance of the process. Ultrasonic assisted abrasive flow machining (UAAFM) is a new variant of the AFM process in which the workpiece is subjected to mechanical vibration orthogonal to the media flow direction. In this process a high frequency, in the range of about 5–20 kHz, is given to the workpiece with the help of a piezo actuator and a specially designed fixture. The present work highlights on the possible behaviour of the tool (media) during UAAFM and its effect on the machining process through a computation based approach. Commercially available simulation tool was used to study the effect of the media in response to different set of machining conditions. The responses were evaluated in terms of changes in the fluid pressure, velocity profile of the fluid, temperature distribution in the working fluid and the possible wall shear on the work surface. A three-dimensional model was constructed for simulating the UAAFM process. The simulation shows that the abrasive particles tend to hit the target surface at an angle ‘θ’ which significantly affects the basic mechanisms involved and enhances the effectiveness of the process. The computed wall shear explains that the process will have higher finishing rate and hence the performance. The enhanced interaction of abrasive media in UAAFM while compared to simple AFM could be explained by the resultant pressure–velocity phenomena. Results show that while changes in the amplitude of applied vibration (10 μm and 50 μm) significantly affect the wall shear, the media velocity and pressure profiles are only marginally sensitive to this parameter. The simulation results also confirm that the rise in temperature during the process will not affect the media stability. Results have been discussed vis-a-vis the basic mechanism of the process through suitable illustrations.
