Inkjet-printed patch antenna emitter for wireless communication application

This research focuses on exploring low-cost and rapid production solutions for fabricating emitters for patch antennas for wireless communication applications. Additive manufacturing technique is employed to fabricate two patch antennas using silver nanoparticle ink on FR4 substrate. Finite-element simulation software, HFSS is used to analyse and predict the theoretical performance of the antenna designs for 2.4?GHz MIMO and 6?GHz wireless data transmission. The fabricated antennas have resonant frequencies closely matching the design values. The work provides a viable solution for fabricating emitters and finally antennas commercially using inkjet printing platform, thus overall reducing the cost and simplifying the process.     

The Influence of Crystal Orientation on Vibration Characteristics of DD6 Nickel-Base Single Crystal superalloy Turbine Blade

Modeling of a nickel-base single crystal superalloy turbine blade which accounts for material orthotropy is carried out to investigate the influence of axial direction and randomness crystallographic orientation on the dynamic natural frequency. In this paper, the natural frequency of the blade is calculated by the finite element method based on the commercial software ABAQUS. The results show that the deviation of the axial directions has a significant effect on the lower frequency as well as on the higher frequency, while the randomness in crystallographic orientations has a great impact only on higher order frequency. It is necessary to take the crystal orientation into account as an optimized factor and the variation of the vibration characteristics can be predicted.

Synthesis of morphology-controlled mesoporous transition aluminas derived from the decomposition of alumina hydrates

Aluminum hydroxides were synthesized through the acidification of sodium aluminate solution using single organic diester or diacid as pH adjustor and aluminum chelating agent. The obtained alumina hydrates are investigated by XRD, SEM, IR and TG. Bayerite firstly formed at room temperature, and its morphology greatly varied with the pH adjustors used, which probably attributes to different kinetics of the acidification. The bayerite can evolve to gibbsite and boehmite after the hydrothermal treatment at 100 °C and 145 °C, respectively, where these alumina hydrates show diverse morphologies. After the calcination, these alumina hydrates of bayerite, gibbsite and boehmite could pseudomorphically transform to the corresponding η-, χ- and γ-aluminas, respectively, exhibiting different structural and textural properties. Interestingly, the transition aluminas derived from the aluminum tri-hydroxides, bayerite and gibbsite, both display locally organized mesopores, while no such meso-structure can be observed in γ-alumina obtained from the aluminum mono-hydroxide, boehmite. The changes of bayerite during calcination are investigated detailed. The dehydration of non-porous bayerite accompanied with the formation of meso-structured transition aluminas, where the meso-structure becomes more and more clearly defined and pore size expands with the calcination temperature increasing.
