Earth pressure balance control for EPB shield

This paper mainly deals with the critical technology of earth pressure balance (EPB) control in shield tunneling. On the assumption that the conditioned soil in the working chamber of the shield is plasticized, a theoretical principle for EPB control is proposed. Dynamic equilibrium of intake volume and discharge volume generated by thrust and discharge is modeled theoretically to simulate the earth pressure variation during excavating. The thrust system and the screw conveyor system for earth pressure cont...     

Vertical shaking table tests on the structure with viscoelastic multi-dimensional earthquake isolation and mitigation devices

The viscoelastic multi-dimensional earthquake isolation and mitigation device is a new kind of passive control device, which can perform its "name-giving" task of earthquake isolation and earthquake mitigation simultaneously. In order to quantify its vertical earthquake isolation and mitigation effect on structures, firstly, shaking table tests on steel frame structures with and without the devices were carried out; secondly, analysis on dynamic characteristics and dynamic responses of the structures was al...     

Mathematical models of grinding manufacture and tooth contact analysis of spherical gears

The spherical gear is a gear-driven mechanism with two degrees of freedom (DOF), which can transfer spatial motion and power. Grinding machining of the spherical gear is performed with a plate grinding wheel by using generating method, and based on mathematical model of the plate grinding wheel, the mathematical model of the spherical gear is set up. And then, the meshing model of a spherical gear pair is developed and the tooth contact analysis (TCA) of the spherical gear pairs is performed. After that, th...     

Discrimination for ablative control mechanism in solid-propellant rocket nozzle

The ablation in solid-propellant rocket nozzle is a coupling process resulted by chemistry, heat and mass transfer. Based on the heat and mass transfer theory, the aero-thermo-dynamic, and thermo-chemical kinetics, the thermal-chemical ablation model is established. Simulations are completed on the heat flow field and chemical ablation in the nozzle with different concentrations, frequency factors and activation energy of H2. The calculation results show that the concentration and the activation energy of H...

Examining the use of Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanoparticles to enhance the NH<Subscript>3</Subscript> sensitivity of polypyrrole films

Summary Polypyrrole (PPy) composite films with different contents of Fe₃O₄ were prepared by in-situ polymerization of pyrrole in aqueous solutions. The dependence of dc current changes on the response of the samples exposure to NH₃ vapor has been investigated. The results shows the composite films are more stable than the pristine ones after being exposed to NH₃ vapor. Meanwhile, the response time was reduced with increasing the Fe₃O₄ content in the films. The results might be originated from the structural changes in the PPy films caused by the addition of Fe₃O₄.

Novel polyurethane coating technology through glycidyl carbamate chemistry

Glycidyl carbamate chemistry combines the excellent properties of polyurethanes with the crosslinking chemistry of epoxy resins. Glycidyl carbamate functional oligomers were synthesized by the reaction of polyfunctional isocyanate oligomers and glycidol. The oligomers were formulated into coatings with several amine functional crosslinkers at varying stoichiometric ratios and cured at different temperatures. Properties such as solvent resistance, hardness, and impact resistance were dependent on the composition and cure conditions. Most coatings had an excellent combination of properties. Studies were carried out to determine the kinetics of the curing reaction of the glycidyl carbamate functional oligomers with multifunctional and model amines. Detailed kinetic analysis of the curing reactions was also undertaken. The results indicated that the glycidyl carbamate functional group is more reactive than a glycidyl ether group.

Novel Ferrimagnetic Material for Fabricating Multilayer Chip Inductors —Low-Temperature-Sintered Ba3Co2−xZnxFe24O41 Hexaferrites

The Zn-substituted planar hexaferrite Ba₃Co_{2− x} Zn _x Fe₂₄O₄₁ ( x =0–1.2) powders were prepared via a citrate precursor method. With an appropriate sintering aid, ceramics with high density could be obtained after sintering at a temperature of less than 900°C. These ceramics exhibit excellent high-frequency properties such as high initial permeability up to 10.0 with cut-off frequencies above 1.1 GHz. The results show that we have exploited novel promising ferrimagnetic materials well suited for multilayer chip inductors or multilayer chip beads applications in the high-frequency range.     

A study on blends of liquid crystalline copolyesters with polycarbonate. I. Compatibility by transesterification

Blends of poly(bisphenol-A carbonate) (PC) and synthesized liquid crystalline poly(oxybenzoate-co-ethylene terephthalate 40/60) (P46) were prepared through meltmixing in a Brabender mixer. The miscibility of the blends at different compositions and blending time was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry. The corresponding morphology of the blends was analyzed with scanning electron microscopy. It was found that for blends containing more than 20% P46 and mixed at 250°C or above the transesterification between PC and P46 took place. This transesterification was confirmed at a blend containing 40% P46 by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The transesterification happened first between PC and the ester in the poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) block and then between PC and the ester in the polyoxybenzoate (POB) block. At 260°C and after 60 min' blending, the blend containing 30% P46 became an almost compatible system for appearing of a single glass transition temperature. This is also verified by the disappearing of P46 droplets in the PC matrix in the micrographs' observation. After 60 min' of blending, the compatibility of the system can be greatly improved even for the blend containing 40% P46 mixed at 260°C by the micrograph's observation. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
