大口径长条形反射镜组件自重变形的仿真与试验

研究了空间光学遥感器的大口径长条形反射镜组件在自重载荷作用下的面形变化,实验验证和定量分析了Zernike多项式拟合法以及球面方程拟合法得到的仿真分析结果的精度。介绍了Zernike多项式拟合法以及球面方程拟合法的基本原理,分别用这两种算法对大口径长条形反射镜组件在自重载荷作用下的面形变化进行了仿真分析。根据误差合成原理,提出了依据翻转前后两个状态的面形检测结果计算镜面面形变化的方法;针对离轴反射镜在面形检测过程中存在离轴量与镜面像散互相补偿的现象,求解了离轴量变化量与镜面像散的关系。试验结果显示:Zernike多项式拟合法的计算精度为74.2%,而球面方程拟合法的计算精度为12.6%;对仿真分析结果的误差评价表明,采用有限元法得到的仿真分析结果的理论精度值为10%左右,与球面方程拟合方法的计算精度12.6%基本吻合。研究表明,由于Zernike多项式拟合法自身的局限性,不适合对长条形反射镜面形变化进行拟合,而球面方程拟合法的计算精度能够满足工程要求。     

Comparative Study of Ultrasonication-Induced and Naturally Self-Assembled Silk Fibroin-Wool Keratin Hydrogel Biomaterials

This study reports the formation of biocompatible hydrogels using protein polymers from natural silk cocoon fibroins and sheep wool keratins. Silk fibroin protein contains β-sheet secondary structures, allowing for the formation of physical cross-linkers in the hydrogels. Comparative studies were performed on two groups of samples. In the first group, ultrasonication was used to induce a quick gelation of a protein aqueous solution, enhancing the ability of Bombyx mori silk fibroin chains to quickly entrap the wool keratin protein molecules homogenously. In the second group, silk/keratin mixtures were left at room temperature for days, resulting in naturally-assembled gelled solutions. It was found that silk/wool blended solutions can form hydrogels at different mixing ratios, with perfectly interconnected gel structure when the wool content was less than 30 weight percent (wt %) for the first group (ultrasonication), and 10 wt % for the second group (natural gel). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and temperature modulated DSC (TMDSC) were used to confirm that the fibroin/keratin hydrogel system was well-blended without phase separation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to investigate the secondary structures of blended protein gels. It was found that intermolecular β-sheet contents significantly increase as the system contains more silk for both groups of samples, resulting in stable crystalline cross-linkers in the blended hydrogel structures. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to analyze the samples’ characteristic morphology on both micro- and nanoscales, which showed that ultrasonic waves can significantly enhance the cross-linker formation and avoid phase separation between silk and keratin molecules in the blended systems. With the ability to form cross-linkages non-chemically, these silk/wool hydrogels may be economically useful for various biomedical applications, thanks to the good biocompatibility of protein molecules and the various characteristics of hydrogel systems.     

Identification of Autophagy in the Pine Wood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and the Molecular Characterization and Functional Analysis of Two Novel Autophagy-Related Genes,BxATG1 and BxATG8

The pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, causes huge economic losses in pine forests, has a complex life cycle, and shows the remarkable ability to survive under unfavorable and changing environmental conditions. This ability may be related to autophagy, which is still poorly understood in B. xylophilus and no autophagy-related genes have been previously characterized. In this study, transmission electron microscopy was used to confirm that autophagy exists in B. xylophilus. The full-length cDNAs of BxATG1 and BxATG8 were first cloned from B. xylophilus, and BxATG1 and BxATG8 were characterized using bioinformatics methods. The expression pattern of the autophagy marker BxATG8 was investigated using in situ hybridization (ISH). BxATG8 was expressed in esophageal gland and hypodermal seam cells. We tested the effects of RNA interference (RNAi) on BxATG1 and BxATG8. The results revealed that BxATG1 and BxATG8 were likely associated with propagation of nematodes on fungal mats. This study confirmed the molecular characterization and functions of BxATG1 and BxATG8 in B. xylophilus and provided fundamental information between autophagy and B. xylophilus.     

A new converter for improving efficiency of multi-actuators fluid power system

This paper is concerned with the application of energy efficient fluid power in mobile robots system and proposes a new fluid power converter system which is analogous to a boost converter in power electronics. The fluid power converter system is based on the principle of pulse-width modulation. The fluid power converter has an effect akin to an electrical switched inductance transformer, wherein the output pressure or flow rate can be stepped up or down. Using an inductive reactance device (an inertia mass-block), the output flow and pressure can be varied to meet the load by a means that does not rely on dissipation of power (the resistance control). The simulation model based on the mathematics models of the components is built to analyse the performance of the fluid power converter. It is clearly shown that the fluid power converter has higher energy efficiency than conventional resistance control manners.

采用Gleeble 3500热模拟试验机对一种低合金系热轧低密度钢进行了高温(760～1200℃)热塑性研究,并结合光学显微镜、体视显微镜以及扫描电镜对拉断后的断口附近组织和断口形貌进行了表征。结果表明,随着拉伸温度升高,断口面积逐渐缩小,韧窝也逐渐变大变深,断面收缩率总体表现良好,均达到80%以上,表现出了良好的高温热塑性。但是试验钢在900～1000℃进行拉伸时,出现了多处颈缩现象,900～1000℃时存在理论塑性低谷区,应避免在900～1000℃进行铸坯矫直或轧制。

Zr-0.75Sn-0.35Fe-0.15Cr-xNb合金在He+辐照下的显微组织演变及其对腐蚀行为的影响

本工作采用2 MeV He⁺在300℃下对Zr-0.75Sn-0.35Fe-0.15Cr-x Nb(x=0,1.0,mass fraction,%)合金进行辐照,然后在360℃/18.6 MPa/0.01 mol/L LiOH水溶液中进行高压釜腐蚀实验,利用扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜研究辐照对合金显微组织及腐蚀行为的影响。结果表明,添加Nb改变了Zr-0.75Sn-0.35Fe-0.15Cr合金中第二相的数量、尺寸和晶体结构。He⁺辐照1 dpa后,合金的辐照损伤峰区域分布有大量的He泡和型位错环,添加Nb对He泡和位错环的数量及第二相的元素扩散等均产生了一定的影响。腐蚀结果表明,He⁺辐照或添加1.0%的Nb均可促进Zr-0.75Sn-0.35Fe-0.15Cr合金的腐蚀,但当二者同时存在时,辐照能减弱Nb促进腐蚀的作用。
