Effects of Ca and Zr substitution upon structure and properties of Ba5LaTi3Ta7O30 low-loss dielectric ceramics

Effects of Ca and Zr substitution upon the dielectric properties of Ba₅LaTi₃Ta₇O₃₀ ceramics were investigated together with the structural characterization. All the samples of Ba₅La(Zr_xTi_1−x)₃Ta₇O₃₀ formed a filled tungsten-bronze structures, whereas the solid solution limit was determined as x=0.25 in (Ca_xBa_1−x)₅LaTi₃Ta₇O₃₀. Beyond this limit secondary phase of CaTa₂O₆ was detected and it would become the major phase for the Ca-rich compositions. The temperature coefficient of dielectric constant was improved with increasing Zr content while the dielectric constant decreased and the low dielectric loss varied little (in the order of 10⁻⁴). In the case of (Ca_xBa_1−x)₅LaTi₃Ta₇O₃₀, small temperature coefficient of dielectric constant could be obtained with increasing Ca content while the dielectric constant decreased significantly, and a small amount substitution of Ca for Ba induced decrease in dielectric loss.     

Adhesive element modelling and weighted static shape control of composite plates with piezoelectric actuator patches

A novel finite element model is presented for static and dynamic analysis of composite plates integrated with a laminated piezoelectric layer, a host laminated composite plate and an adhesive layer between them. A new adhesive element is developed which includes both peel and shear effects in the adhesive layer based on first‐order shear deformation plate theory. The thin adhesive layer between the piezoelectric layer and the host plate is modelled by assuming that it carries constant shear and peel strains throughout its thickness. In addition, a weighted static shape control scheme for finding the optimal voltage distribution for static shape control is given. By selecting different weighting matrices, a variety of items such as displacements, slopes, curvatures, strains and even generalized forces, can be included in finding the optimal actuating voltage for static shape control. The present model is validated by comparing with those results available in the literature. The numerical results show that the weighted linear least method can give a satisfactory voltage distribution to best match the desired shape. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On maximum-length linear congruential-sequences-based low-density parity-check codes

This letter extends a low-density parity-check code construction using maximum-length linear congruential sequences by Prabhakar and Narayanan. The corresponding bipartite graphs of their construction were guaranteed to have a girth larger than four by a sufficient condition. However, their sufficient condition was limited to regular codes and data-node degree equal to three. The extension in this letter allows arbitrary data-node degrees and is applicable to irregular codes. Further, simpler sufficient conditions are derived and larger girths are addressed.

The stress intensity factors for a short crack partially penetrating an inclusion of arbitrary shape

Some approximate solutions for predicting the stress intensity factor of a short crack penetrating an inclusion of arbitrary shape have been developed under mode I and mode II loading conditions. The derivation of the fundamental formula is based on the transformation toughening theory. The transformation strains in the inclusion are induced by the crack-tip field and remotely applied stresses, and approximately evaluated by the Eshelby equivalent inclusion theory. As validated by detailed finite element (FE) analyses, the developed solutions have good accuracy for different inclusion shape and for a wide range of modulus ratio between inclusion and matrix material.     

Structural study of cubic pyrochlores based on quantum mechanical simulation

In the ideal A₂B₂O₆O′ pyrochlore structure, the x-value of O atom position is a variable parameter. In Bi_1.5ZnNb_1.5−xTa_xO₇ (BZNT) cubic pyrochlores, the x-values alter with the different compositions of Nb/Ta. In this work, a series of initial models for BZNT were established by analyzing X-ray diffraction data. Then three structure modifying methods, including Rietveld refinement, Rietveld refinement with energy and geometry optimization based on quantum mechanics, were employed to obtain the precise models using Materials Studio. Moreover, the reflectivities of BZNT were computed by quantum mechanical simulation based on the refined models. Comparing the simulation results from different modifying models with the experimental results, it is found that Rietveld refinement with energy optimization is the most accurate method for BZNT pyrochlores. According to the simulation results, the different reflectivities correspond well with various x-values of O atom positions in BZNT pyrochlores.
