Stress distribution in thick-walled cylinder due to non-uniform radial pressure on the example of reinforcement corrosion in concrete

This paper presents an analytical solution to the non-uniform pressure on thick-walled cylinder. The formulation is based on the linear elasticity theory (plain strain) and stress function method. As an example, the proposed solution is used to model the stress distribution due to non-uniform steel reinforcement corrosion in concrete. The model is formulated considering different scenarios of corrosion pressure distribution. It is validated against the finite element model for different cases of non-uniform pressure distributions. The results show that the corrosion-induced cracks are likely to start just beyond the anodic zone. This is confirmed by the experimental tests on concrete cylinder exposed to non-uniform accelerated corrosion of steel reinforcement. The model can be effectively used to calculate the distribution of corrosion-induced stresses in concrete.     

左西孟旦在心脏外科术后重症患者的应用研究

目的：研究左西孟旦对重症心脏外科术后患者心功能、肺高压、肾功能等方面的影响。方法：选取2014年1月－2019年6月在宁波市医疗中心李惠利医院胸外科接受心脏手术治疗的重症患者320例，采用随机数字表法将患者分为实验组和对照组，各160例。根据患者具体病情选择心脏换瓣手术或非体外循环搭桥手术，实验组围术期同时给予左西孟旦治疗。比较2组患者手术前后不同时间心、肾功能指标水平及肺动脉收缩压（PASP）变化。结果：术后24 h 2组患者心率（HR）、平均动脉压（MAP）、中心静脉压（CVP）比较无明显差异，实验组血乳酸（LAC）在术后12 h及术后24 h明显低于对照组（P<0.05或P<0.01）；术后1～14 d 2组左室舒张末期容积（LVEDV）、收缩末期容积（LVESV）均呈减小趋势，且同一时间点实验组明显小于对照组（P<0.05或P<0.01）；2组心脏指数（CI）及左室射血指数（LVEF）均呈升高趋势，且同一时间点实验组明显高于对照组（P<0.01）。术后3～14 d 2组血浆N末端前脑利钠肽（NT-proBNP）水平及PASP均呈降低趋势，且同一时间点实验组明显低于对照组（P<0.05或P<0.01）；实验组血清尿素氮（BUN）、24 h尿蛋白定量（24Upro）及血肌酐（Scr）水平均无明显变化（P>0.05），对照组血清BUN、24Upro及Scr水平先升高后降低，且同一时间点实验组明显低于对照组（P<0.05或P<0.01）。与对照组比较，实验组术后死亡率、ICU住院时间、呼吸机及主动脉球囊反搏（IABP）支持时间均明显低于对照组（P<0.05）。结论：心脏手术后给予左西孟旦可有效改善重症患者术后心功能，保护由于低灌注引起的肾损伤，且可降低术后早期肺动脉高压的发生，值得临床借鉴。

Three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter based on the SOGI filter and Lyapunov function for DC bus control

The three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter (SAPF) was developed to suppress the harmonic currents generated by nonlinear loads, and for the compensation of unbalanced nonlinear load currents, reactive power, and the harmonic neutral current. In this work, we consider instantaneous reactive power theory (PQ theory) for reference current identification based on the following two algorithms: the classic low-pass filter (LPF) and the second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) filter. Furthermore, since an important process in SAPF control is the regulation of the DC bus voltage at the capacitor, a new controller based on the Lyapunov function is also proposed. A complete simulation of the resultant active filtering system confirms its validity, which uses the SOGI filter to extract the reference currents from the distorted line currents, compared with the traditional PQ theory based on LPF. In addition, the simulation performed also demonstrates the superiority of the proposed approach, for DC bus voltage control based on the Lyapunov function, compared with the traditional proportional-integral (PI) controller. Both novel approaches contribute towards an improvement in the overall performance of the system, which consists of a small rise and settling time, a very low or nonexistent overshoot, and the minimization of the total harmonic distortion (THD).

Determination of atomistic deformation of tricalcium silicate paste with high-volume fly ash

We examined the effect of incorporating high-volume fly ash on the atomic arrangement and interatomic deformation behavior of calcium silicate hydrates in tricalcium silicate paste upon exposure to external forces. The interatomic structural changes and strains under compressive load were assessed using synchrotron in situ high-energy X-ray scattering-based atomic pair distribution function analysis. Three different types of strains, which were (a) macroscopic strains from gauges on the surfaces of specimen, (b) strains in a reciprocal space (Bragg peak shift), and (c) strains in real space (PDF peak shift), were compared to each other. All monitored and calculated strains for tricalcium silicate-fly ash (50 wt% fly ash) paste were compared with the counterparts of the pure tricalcium silicate paste. Pair distribution function analysis in the range of r < 10 Å indicated that the atomic arrangement of tricalcium silicate-fly ash was similar to that of synthetic calcium silicate hydrates followed by that of pure tricalcium silicate paste. Moreover, the pair distribution function refinement results revealed that the calcium silicate hydrate structure in tricalcium silicate-fly ash paste was similar to tobermorite 11 Å, unlike that in pure tricalcium silicate paste. The interatomic strain of tricalcium silicate-fly ash in the real space (r < 20 Å) was smaller than that of tricalcium silicate under compression, which suggested that the incompressibility of calcium silicate hydrates at atomistic scale was enhanced by the incorporation of fly ash into it. This was likely to be caused by the increased silicate polymerization of calcium silicate hydrates, which was attributed to the increase in the amount of silicate in their structure via the addition of fly ash.     

Improvement and further investigation on Hoffman-function-based dynamic contact angle model

Dynamic contact angle (DCA) plays a critical role in the numerical investigation of gas-liquid two-phase flow problem in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In our previous study, an advancing-receding DCA (AR-DCA) model was developed based on Hoffman function and has been successfully validated. This study aims to further modify the contact line velocity evaluation method in the AR-DCA model and an improved-AR-DCA (i-AR-DCA) model is proposed. The simulations of droplet impact on inclined surface and liquid water behaviors in microchannel are conducted based on these two models and the results show that the improved methodology has no significant effects on general droplet spreading process on inclined surface; whereas it can facilitate the liquid water detachment in the microchannel. In addition, the Hoffman function is modified into three different forms based on the original experimental data points in order to test the sensitivity of different formulae on the numerical results. It is indicated that the modified forms of Hoffman function can induce notable changes in the liquid water slug elongation in the microchannel.     

Effect of sintering temperature on the transport properties of La2Ce2O7 ceramic materials

La₂Ce₂O₇ (LCO) based materials are of a paramount importance since they can be utilized for ammonium production, thermal barrier application, catalysts, hydrogen production and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). In this work, a nano crystalline LCO powder was prepared using glycine-nitrate combustion method and then its properties were comprehensively characterized. The structural analysis of the synthesized LCO was carried out using conventional X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. In a disordered phase, LCO is a biphasic mixture composed of C- and F-type phases. Densification studies were performed by sintering LCO pellets at different sintering temperatures. A densification of ≥95% was observed in all the samples with a very little variation. Sintering temperature had a marked effect on the electrical conductivity of LCO. The LCO sintered at 1100 °C showed the highest conductivity (3.68 mS/cm at 700 °C in air). The electrical conductivity was found to be decreasing with an increase in sintering temperature from 1100 to 1400 °C. To understand the behavior, the analysis of distribution function of relaxation times (DFRTs) utilized for correct separation of grain and grain boundary resistances. The presence of C- and F- type phases calculated from Raman spectra plays a crucial role in deciding conduction behavior of LCO. The results suggest a strong relationship between history of the ceramics preparation and their electrical properties.
