Evaluation of back-calculated elastic moduli of unreinforced and geocell-reinforced unbound granular material from full-scale field tests

This paper presents a field-scale experimental track over a poor subgrade with an unreinforced section and a geocell-reinforced section subjected to in-situ performance tests. Plate load tests and Benkelman beam tests were carried out distributed in several unreinforced and reinforced layers. The objective was to: (1) examine the variability of the elastic modulus of unbound granular material (UGM) due the influence of its thickness and the presence of poor subgrade in its base, (2) evaluate the modulus improvement factor (MIF) generated by the geocell reinforcement in the UGM and (3) verify the most appropriate condition to apply the MIF to transport infrastructure design. The results showed that there is a significant influence of the thickness of the UGM layer on its elastic modulus when the layer is supported directly over a soft subgrade. The MIF values obtained in field suggest that its determination is mostly related to the UGM maximum elastic modulus rather than its decreased values (by virtue of poor subgrade or reduced thicknesses), and that the analytical formulation presented for MIF calculation has good predictive capability to be applied to pavement design.     

First results of negative ion extraction with Cs for CRAFT prototype negative beam source

In order to understand the physics and pre-study the engineering issues for radio frequency(RF)negative beam source, a prototype source with a single driver and three-electrode accelerator was developed. Recently, the beam source was tested on the RF source test facility with RF plasma generation, negative ion production and extraction. A magnetic filter system and a Cs injection system were employed to enhance the negative ion production. As a result, a long pulse of 105 s negative ion beam with current density of 153 A m-2 was repeatedly extracted successfully. The source pressure is 0.6 Pa and the ratio of co-extracted electron and negative ion current is around0.3. The details of design and experimental results of beam source were shown in this letter.

矿用直线振动筛结构故障分析

针对煤矿选煤厂直线振动筛工作过程中出现的结构故障问题,采用有限元仿真与现场测试结合的方法对振动筛出现故障的原因进行了分析研究。介绍了振动筛的主要结构及常见故障,并以某矿选煤厂发生大梁断裂的振动筛为例,对该振动筛进行三维建模和有限元模态分析,分析结果表明:随着模态阶次的增加,振型的变化逐渐由移动转为结构本身的扭曲变形。在该振动筛空载工作状态下,选用本质安全型便携式测振记录仪进行振动测试并处理测试信号,得到该振动筛的工作频率。结合模态分析结果和实际测试结果,判断出空载时频繁运行振动筛是造成其大梁断裂的主要原因。根据故障原因给出维护建议:应当尽量避免振动筛在空载或物料较少的状态下长时间运行;在振动筛投入使用前,应预先了解振动筛的工作状态及可能存在的薄弱环节,尽可能避免结构故障,保证振动筛可靠运行。     

Free vibration behavior of a thermally post-buckled FG Timoshenko beam under large deflection using a tangent stiffness-based method

For thermally postbuckled configurations, the free vibration behavior of functionally graded (FG) Timoshenko beams are investigated. The postbuckling configurations are obtained through a geometrically nonlinear static problem. The free vibration problem around the postbuckled configuration is formulated using its tangent stiffness. The energy based governing equations are solved following the Ritz method. The elements of the tangent stiffness matrix are obtained using the Ritz coefficients. The results are shown to exhibit the effects of FG material, material profile parameter, and length-thickness ratio. The comparative results are presented for both the cases of the physical neutral surface and the geometrical neutral surface.     

双光束激光焊匙孔动态特征分析

文中研究了高功率单光束激光焊与双光束激光焊过程中匙孔动态特征的差别. 结果表明，单光束激光焊及双光束激光焊接过程中匙孔均处于从产生到湮灭的剧烈波动的过程，不同于单光束激光焊匙孔的形成、长大、维持、缩小、湮灭过程，双光束激光焊的匙孔还存在分离长大及合并缩小的过程；在相同的焊接参数及焊缝具有相同熔深的条件下，双光束激光焊匙孔的波动频率约为单光束激光焊的2/3，单光束激光焊匙孔的开口面积均值约为双光束激光焊匙孔开口面积的1/2，开口面积的波动变异系数约为单光束激光的2倍，即双光束激光焊过程中匙孔较单光束激光焊的具有较高稳定性.     

用宽带超表面产生阵列贝塞尔光束

通过在空间光调制器（SLM）上加载相位图或通过光刻加工微型圆锥状结构可以产生贝塞尔光束阵列。然而，典型空间光调制器具有比波长大一个数量级的像素尺寸，这限制了相位梯度的可用范围，用光刻法加工的微型锥透镜的顶端不是标准的圆锥，这影响了贝塞尔光束的质量。为了克服这些缺点，将复杂的相位图加载到电介质超表面上，设计了一种可以产生阵列贝塞尔光束（在波长700 nm处，NA=0.3）的超表面器件。该器件可以宽波段工作，其单元结构在波长580~800 nm范围内的偏振转换效率均超过57%。利用时域有限差分算法（FDTD）对该器件（厚度为380 nm，直径仅为40 μm）进行了仿真，所产生的阵列光束都垂直于超表面器件。所提出的阵列贝塞尔光束发生器具有纳米级别的厚度和几十微米的直径，这对于未来的集成光学领域具有很大的应用前景。     

Focusing characteristics of the relativistic electron beam transmitting in ion channel

Based on the beam–plasma system model established in this paper, the trajectory of the electron beam in the ion channel is studied quantitatively through the envelope equation. Under different initial system parameters, the focusing transmission conditions of the beam in the ion channel are discussed. Then, a series of particle-in-cell simulations are performed, which generally versifies the theoretical results and shows some further details of the focusing behavior of the beam. It is found that the deceleration of some electrons around the focusing point or the beam–plasma interaction at the ion channel boundary will result in the generation of the residual electrons,which forms the electron return current that leads to the new instabilities influencing the focusing characteristics of the beam.     

Fabrication of highly sensitive MnO2/F-MWCNT/Ta hybrid nanocomposite sensor with different MnO2 overlayer thickness for H2O2 detection

In this work, we report the development of MnO₂/F-MWCNT/Ta hybrid nanocomposite sensor with different MnO₂ overlayer thickness for the detection of H₂O₂ in real samples. A novel two-step process using e-beam evaporation and spray pyrolysis deposition was adopted for the synthesis of hybrid MnO₂/F-MWCNT/Ta electrodes. SE morphology revealed smaller-sized, compact grains of MnO₂ infiltrated on the outermost walls of MWCNTs. Raman analysis confirmed the existence of carbon nanotubes with abundant structural defects of MnO₂ in the composite. The cyclic voltammetry results displayed a high peak current and narrowed over potential towards the reduction of H₂O₂. The sensor displayed a fast response (<5?s), wide linear range (2–1510?μM) and a low limit of detection (0.04?μM) with significant anti-interfering properties, promising for the development of highly sensitive and reproducible biosensors. The three dimensional nanocomposite sensor also exhibited good recovery (> 98%), thus providing a favourable tool for analysis of H₂O₂ in milk samples.
