The bearing capacity of FRP confined concrete-filled steel tubular (FRP-CFST) columns under axial compression was investigated.
This new type of composite column is a concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) confined with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wraps.
Totally 11 short column specimens were tested to failure under axial compression. The influences of the type and quantity
of FRP, the thickness of steel tube and the concrete strength were studied. It was found that the bearing capacity of short
FRP-CFST column was much higher than that of comparable CFST column. Furthermore, the formulas for calculating the bearing
capacity of the FRP-CFST columns are proposed. The analytical calculated results agree well with the experimental results. 相似文献
Aiming at reducing the recombination of photo-induced carriers in semiconductor photocatalytic process, we prepared TiO2 thin film with its surface modified by a connected Cu micro-grid via a microsphere lithography strategy, which showed higher
photocatalytic activity than the pure TiO2 film. The improvement of photocatalytic activity of Cu micro-grid to the TiO2 film is due to the charge carrier separation and electron transfer by the conducting metal grid. The photocatalytic activity
was improved as metal loading increased, which obtained the best performance at a certain loading amount, and then decreased
at higher loading amount. This phenomenon was attributed to the metal’s bulk effect which could be explained by the relationship
between the energetic positions and the metal cluster size.

UV-nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) using a soft mold is a promising technique with low cost and high throughput for producing the submicron scale large-area patterns. However, the deformations of the soft mold during imprinting process which can cause serious consequences have to be understood for the practical application of the process. This paper investigated the deformation of the soft mold by theoretical analyses, numerical simulations, and experimental studies. We simulated the mold deformation using a simplified model and finite element method. The simulation and the related experimental results agree well with each other. Through the investigation, the mechanism and affected factors of the mold deformation are revealed, and some useful conclusions have been achieved. These results will be valuable in optimizing the imprinting process conditions and mold design for improving the quality of transferred patterns. 相似文献
A gel polymer electrolyte based on poly(acrylonitrile-co-styrene) as polymer matrix and N-methyl pyridine iodide salt as I− source was prepared. Controlling the concentration of polymer matrix of poly(acrylonitrile-co-styrene) at 17.5 wt.%, mixing the binary organic solvents mixture ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate with 6:4 (w/w), and the concentration of N-methyl pyridine iodide and iodine with 0.5 and 0.05 M, respectively, the gel polymer electrolyte attains the maximum ionic conductivity (at 30 °C) of 4.63 mS cm−1. Based on the gel polymer electrolyte, a quasi-solid state dye-sensitized solar cell was fabricated and its overall energy conversion efficiency of light-to-electricity of 3.10% was achieved under irradiation of 100 mW cm−2. 相似文献
3D movies/videos have become increasingly popular in the market; however, they are usually produced by professionals. This paper presents a new technique for the automatic conversion of 2D to 3D video based on RGB-D sensors, which can be easily conducted by ordinary users. To generate a 3D image, one approach is to combine the original 2D color image and its corresponding depth map together to perform depth image-based rendering (DIBR). An RGB-D sensor is one of the inexpensive ways to capture an image and its corresponding depth map. The quality of the depth map and the DIBR algorithm are crucial to this process. Our approach is twofold. First, the depth maps captured directly by RGB-D sensors are generally of poor quality because there are many regions missing depth information, especially near the edges of objects. This paper proposes a new RGB-D sensor based depth map inpainting method that divides the regions with missing depths into interior holes and border holes. Different schemes are used to inpaint the different types of holes. Second, an improved hole filling approach for DIBR is proposed to synthesize the 3D images by using the corresponding color images and the inpainted depth maps. Extensive experiments were conducted on different evaluation datasets. The results show the effectiveness of our method.
