Results analytical or numerical on transverse shear stresses of laminated composite plates subjected to hygrothermomechanical effects are scarce in literature. To fill this gap, a higher-order global-local model (HGLM) satisfying the continuity conditions of transverse shear stresses at interfaces is proposed. Based on stress continuity condition between layers, the number of variables in the proposed model is independent of the number of layers of the laminate. Applying Navier's technique to equilibrium equations obtained using the principle of minimum potential energy, analytical solution of the model HGLM is derived for simply supported composite plates. Comparing the results from available three-dimensional elasticity theory and those computed from the first-order and the higher-order models, it is found that the proposed model can produce promising transverse shear stresses directly from constitutive equations without any smoothing technique. The effects of material properties, aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio, stacking sequence and thermal expansion coefficients on the hygrothermomechanical response have also been studied. 相似文献
A soybean oil derived biodiesel was prepared and blended with a conventional No. 0 petrodiesel. The pour points (PP) and the cold filter plugging points (CFPP) of biodiesel blends were evaluated on a low-temperature flow tester. Dynamic viscosities of the blends at different temperatures and different shear rates were measured on a rotary rheometer. The crystal morphologies of biodiesel blends at low temperatures were analyzed using a polarizing microscope. The results indicated that blended fuels demonstrated slight decrease in PPs and CFPPs as compared with those of neat soybean oil derived biodiesel and pure petrodiesel. Below the temperatures of PPs or CFPPs, the dynamic viscosity of biodiesel blends dramatically increased with a decreasing temperature, but decreased with an increasing shear rate, so that biodiesel blends exhibited non-Newtonian behavior. At temperatures higher than PPs or CFPPs, a linear relationship appeared between the dynamic viscosity and shear rate and biodiesel blends became Newtonian fluids. At low temperatures, wax crystals of biodiesel blends grew and agglomerated rapidly. Loss of fluidity for biodiesel blends at low temperatures could therefore be attributed on one hand to the sharp increase of viscosity and on the other hand to the rapid growth and agglomeration of wax crystals. 相似文献
Product distributions from the pyrolysis of a common sample of pine-wood have been determined for two reactors with different configurations. The ablative pyrolysis reactor operates on the principle of “scraping” a continuous stream of biomass particles onto a heated surface under conditions of high relative motion and high applied pressure. In the wire-mesh reactor configuration, fine dispersion of a small quantity [4–6 mg] of sample and the rapid removal of volatiles from the reaction zone ensures that volatiles released during pyrolysis are captured under conditions minimising extra particle secondary reactions.
Comparison of liquid yields determined for the two reactors has been undertaken in order to assess the effect of secondary reactions on yields during ablative pyrolysis. Structural characterisations and comparison of liquids produced in the two reactors have been carried out by size exclusion chromatography, UV-fluorescence spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy. Slight differences in structures were apparent either due to cracking of lignin-derived macromolecules on the heated reactor surface or low molecular weight components formed during slow pyrolysis reactions of a small proportion of the feed material. Comparison of the ablative liquids with those from other ablative pyrolysis reactors show similar trends in molecular mass distributions and structures suggesting that the ablative pyrolysis process inherently cracks some liquids during volatilisation. Dry organic liquid yields from the ablative pyrolysis reactor were between 2.5 and 5.3% lower than the wire-mesh reactor between 55° and 600°C. This is believed to be a result of non-optimised reactor operation of the ablative pyrolysis reactor. 相似文献
A service-life evaluation program on the electricity generation units of Taipower Company (TPC) has been inaugurated since 1985. Based on a survey of five different types of boiler units generated by fossil fuel, a generic procedure for the component evaluation and service-life assessment was established. The major degradation mechanisms of each of the key components/systems of the fossil fuel power units are discussed. The elements of the database software are described which are relevant in carrying out life assessment work. The limitations of applying these methods are addressed based on the experiences in performing the life assessment work for the fossil power plants of Taipower Company in the ROC. 相似文献
This paper presents a novel filtering technique based on sample adaptive offset (SAO) in H.265/high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) for reduction in the temporal flickering artifacts and improving the coding performance. SAO is a newly introduced technique for in-loop filtering in H.265/HEVC, which derives the offsets independently for each frame in the spatial domain without considering temporal frame correlation. As a result, the temporal distortion artifacts which will have a negative effect on the subjective quality, such as flickering artifacts, cannot be effectively addressed. In this paper, the rate-distortion optimization of the newly developed SAO method, referred to as Inter-SAO, is performed on the residual samples between adjacent frames. Inter-SAO and SAO in the reference software of H.265/HEVC (i.e., the test model HM) are then combined to form the novel in-loop filter-based method, denoted as 3D-SAO filtering method, where both spatial information and temporal information are effectively utilized to reduce the overall distortion in reconstructed videos. Compared with the SAO in HM, 3D-SAO has demonstrated its advanced performance for flickering artifacts suppression. Furthermore, 3D-SAO improves the coding efficiency compared with the SAO in HM with a performance gain of up to 0.91 dB in \(\Delta PSNR\), 1.74 dB in \(\Delta PSPNR\) and 7.33 % in BD-rate reduction. 相似文献
