An effective approach for reliability-based robust design optimization of uncertain powertrain mounting systems involving imprecise information

The uncertain parameters of automotive powertrain mounting systems (PMSs) may involve imprecise information (e.g., incomplete, different and conflicting information) in engineering practice. An effective approach is proposed for the reliability-based robust design optimization (RBRDO) of uncertain PMSs involving imprecise information. In the proposed approach, the imprecise information of uncertain parameters is firstly addressed and combined based on evidence theory, and the uncertain parameters are treated as evidence variables. Then, an uncertainty analysis method named evidence perturbation-central difference method (EPCDM) is derived to fast estimate the mean intervals, standard deviation intervals, and the belief and plausibility measures related to system inherent characteristics. A reference method named evidence-Monte Carlo method (EMCM) is developed to verify the effectiveness of EPCDM. Next, to conduct robustness design, the weighted sum of the lower bounds of means and the upper bounds of standard deviations of system inherent characteristics are taken to construct optimization objective; while to perform reliability design, the belief measures related to system inherent characteristics are used to create reliability constraints. Afterwards, a nested RBRDO model is established to explore the optimum design of the PMS, which considers both reliability and robustness simultaneously. The nested PBRDO can be effectively simplified based on EPCDM. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is finally demonstrated by the application example.

Effect of rare earths on mechanical and tribological properties of carbon fibers reinforced PTFE composite

The effect of a rare earth (RE) surface treatment on the mechanical and tribological properties of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites was experimentally investigated. The tensile properties of the CF reinforced PTFE (CF/PTFE) composites treated with air oxidation and RE modifier were superior to those of untreated CF/PTFE composites, while RE treatment was most effective in promoting the tensile strength and strain at break of the CF/PTFE composite. The bending strength of the RE treated CF/PTFE composite was improved by about 16% compared with that of untreated composites, while 2% improvement was achieved by air oxidation. Under oil-lubricated conditions, RE treatment was more effective than air oxidation to reduce the friction coefficient and wear of PTFE composite. RE treatment effectively improved the interfacial adhesion between CF and PTFE. The strong interfacial coupling of the composite made CF not easy to detach from the PTFE matrix, and prevented the rubbing-off of PTFE, accordingly improved the friction and wear properties of the composite.

Pillar[5]arene-Modified Gold Nanorods as Nanocarriers for Multi-Modal Imaging-Guided Synergistic Photodynamic-Photothermal Therapy

Supramolecular approaches have opened up vast possibilities to construct versatile materials, especially those with stimuli-responsiveness and integrated functionalities of multi-modal diagnosis and synergistic therapeutics. In this study, a hybrid theranostic nanosystem named TTPY-Py⊂CP5@AuNR is constructed via facile host–guest interactions, where TTPY-Py is a photosensitizer with aggregation-induced emission and CP5@AuNR represents the carboxylatopillar[5]arene (CP5)-modified Au nanorods. TTPY-Py⊂CP5@AuNR integrates the respective advantages of TTPY-Py and CP5@AuNR such as the high performance of reactive oxygen species generation and photothermal conversion, and meanwhile shows fluorescence responses to both temperature and pH stimuli. The successful modification of CP5 macrocycles on AuNRs surfaces can eliminate the cytotoxicity of AuNRs and enable them to serve as the nanocarrier of TTPY-Py for further theranostic applications. Significantly, in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrate that this supramolecular nanotheranostic system possesses multiple modalities including intensive fluorescence imaging (FLI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT), indicating its great potential for FLI-PAI imaging-guided synergistic PDT-PTT therapy. Moreover, TTPY-Py can be released upon activation by the acidic environment of lysosomes and then specifically light up mitochondria. This study demonstrates a new strategy for the design of versatile nanotheranostics for accurate tumor imaging and cancer therapies.
