This paper focuses on the configuration design of flexure hinges with a prescribed compliance matrix and preset rotational center position. A new method for the topology optimization of flexure hinges is proposed based on the adaptive spring model and stress constraint. The hinge optimization model is formulated by maximizing the bending displacement with a spring while optimizing the compliance matrix to a prescribed value. To avoid numerical instability, an artificial spring is used as an auxiliary calculation, and a new strategy is developed for adaptively adjusting the spring stiffness according to the prescribed compliance matrix. The maximum stress of flexure hinge is limited by using a normalized P-norm of the effective von Mises stress, and a position constraint of rotational center is proposed to predetermine the position of the rotational center. In addition, to reduce the error of the stress measurement, a simple but effective filtering method is presented to obtain a complete black-and-white design. Numerical examples are used to verify the proposed method. Topology results show that the obtained flexure hinges have the prescribed compliance matrix and preset rotational center position while also meeting the stress requirements. 相似文献
Due to the limited improvement of single-image based super-resolution (SR) methods in recent years, the reference based image SR (RefSR) methods, which super-resolve the low-resolution (LR) input with the guidance of similar high-resolution (HR) reference images are emerging. There are two main challenges in RefSR, i.e. reference image warping and exploring the guidance information from the warped references. For reference warping, we propose an efficient dense warping method to deal with large displacements, which is much faster than traditional patch (or texture) matching strategy. For the SR process, since different reference images complement each other, and have different similarities with the LR image, we further propose a similarity based feature fusion strategy to take advantage of the most similar reference regions. The SR process is realized by an encoder–decoder network and trained with pixel-level reconstruction loss, degradation loss and feature-level perceptual loss. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art SR methods in both subjective and objective measurements. 相似文献
The joining of liquid-phase sintered SiC (LPS-SiC) ceramics was conducted using spark plasma sintering (SPS), through solid state diffusion bonding, with Ti-metal foil as a joining interlayer. Samples were joined at 1400 °C, under applied pressures of either 10 or 30 MPa, and with different atmospheres (argon, Ar, vs. vacuum). It was demonstrated that the shear strength of the joints increased with an increase in the applied joining pressure. The joining atmosphere also affected on both the microstructure and shear strength of the SiC joints. The composition and microstructure of the interlayer were examined to understand the mechanism. As a result, a SiC-SiC joining with a good mechanical performance could be achieved under an Ar environment, which in turn could provide a cost-effective approach and greatly widen the applications of SiC ceramic components with complex shape. 相似文献
Fluorescent detection is a new spectroscopic measurement for ions sensing due to the advantages of real-time determination with high selectivity, accuracy, and low cost. However, chemosensors based on fluorescent detection are usually determined by absolute intensity from a monochromatic emission signal, which is easy to be fluctuated by the external environment, especially for Fe3+ detection in complex fluids. Herein, we rationally design a dual-emission Eu3+: CDs@ZIF-8 to construct a ratiometric fluorescent sensor with self-calibrating ability for Fe3+ determination. High efficient carbon dots (CDs) are embedded in europium ions (Eu3+)-doped MOF by simple stirring preparation at room temperature. The label-free ratiometric fluorescent probe (ICDs@ZIF-8/IEu) exhibits simultaneous blue and red emission under the same excitation at 365 nm. Remarkably, Eu3+: CDs@ZIF-8 displays the superiority of high selectivity to Fe3+, which shows ratiometric fluorescence characteristics (I0/I) in a range of 0-6 μmol\L with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.897 μmol\L. Besides, the CDs-MOF nanocomposite holds good aqueous dispersibility and low cytotoxicity, which shows great potential applications in medical aid including biological detection and clinical diagnosis. 相似文献
Electrothermal materials can easily and controllably convert electric energy into heat energy, and are widely used in many electrothermal fields. In this paper, a series of conductive pastes were simply prepared by ball milling, and their rheological and electrothermal properties were studied. Phenolic resin was used as curing agent of epoxy resin and rheological modifier, which could make the paste have very good printing applicability. Ultrafine carbon(UC) powder has excellent dispersion effect. Sheet carbon materials such as graphite powder(GP), graphite nanosheet(GS) and graphene(GE) would improve the performance of paste using only UC as conductive filler. It was proved that GE with the smallest thickness has the most obvious lifting effect. UC was gathered around the graphene sheet, as a bridge between graphene sheets. GE could also be connected with each other to build a more effective and denser conductive path. The electrothermal film could reach 199°C under 30 V voltage, increasing by 254.7% compared with the electrothermal film with only UC as conductive filler. The electrothermal film had a short response time, good recyclability and excellent flexibility. The electrothermal film also had certain electromagnetic shielding efficiency. The electromagnetic shielding efficiency SE could reach about 20 dB at 30–1500 MHz, and the ratio of field strength before and after attenuation SE% could reach 97%?+?. This electrothermal film has simple preparation process, good printing applicability, controllable film resistance, excellent flexibility, fast response speed and good recyclability. It is suitable for large-scale preparation and has broad application prospects in many scenarios.
Perovskite solid solution materials, namely, 0.67BiFeO3-0.33BaTiO3, were synthesized by spark plasma sintering method. The effects of the spark plasma sintering temperature on phase purity, microstructure, and electric properties of the as-prepared materials were investigated. The materials could be referred as pseudocubic phases based on the X-ray diffraction patterns. The bulk density first increased and then decreased. The 880 °C-sintered-ceramics had the maximal density and a compact microstructure with grain size of 0.77 ± 0.34 μm. The dielectric constant as a function of temperature exhibited a broad peak. At the optimal spark-plasma-sintering temperature, enhanced ferroelectric properties were observed with a value of Pr ~ 21 μC/cm2. This investigation on the spark plasma sintering process confirms it as an efficient approach to prepare outstanding performance BiFeO3–BaTiO3 ceramics. 相似文献
