Elastic solutions of a cylindrical rod containing periodically distributed inclusions with axisymmetric eigenstrains

Summary. In this paper, we give the elastic solution for a special type of microstructure – a circular cylindrical rod containing periodically distributed inclusions along its axial direction. Each inclusion has the same uniform axisymmetric transformation strain (eigenstrain). Analytical elastic solutions are obtained for the displacements, stresses and elastic strain energy of the rod. The effects of microstructure and its evolution (growth of inclusions) on the elastic stress and strain fields as well as the strain energy of the rod are quantitatively demonstrated. As a result of such microstructure evolution nominal stress-strain relation with strain softening is derived for a rod under uniaxial tension.     

叠前地震数据的规则化

本文通过对动校正前积分法DMO原理的探讨，在借鉴Canning(1996)提出的利用DMO实现三维数据规则化的方法和Biondi(1998)提出的三维叠前地震数据方位角校正方法的基础上，从方位角校正的角度入手，利用DMO和DMO^-1相结合的处理流程对地震数据进行规则化，以得到新的规则的观测系统下具有所需特定方位角的观测数据。此方法可用于解决叠前地震数据道插值、陆上地震勘探中不规则观测数据的规则化和海上地震勘探中的羽状现象校正等问题，可将已有地震观测数据转变为特定观测系统的叠前地震数据，以便于某些处理方法的应用。此方法原理简单并具有广泛的适用性。     

Prediction of cracking within early-age concrete due to thermal, drying and creep behavior

To predict potential early-age cracking after concrete placing, a numerical simulation procedure has been completed based on a micromechanical model and empirical formulas on the property development of young concrete. The numerical model could account for the effects of hydration, moisture transport and creep. Environmental influences, such as removal of formworks, curing conditions and variations of surrounding temperature and relative humidity, have been investigated. In calculating stress field with age caused by these synthetic physical-mechanical processes, three-dimensional finite element and finite difference (3D-FE-FD) methods are combined together.     

Properties of latex blends and its modified cement mortars

In this paper, the mechanical properties of three latex blends and the mechanical properties and chloride diffusivity of the latex-modified mortars are studied. The relationships between the properties of polymer films formed from latex blends and the properties of the latex blend-modified mortars are illustrated. The test results showed that the modified mortar with the blend of styrene-acrylic ester (SAE) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) showed synergistic effect; especially the flexural strength of the SAE/SBR blend-modified mortars was about 20-40% higher than that of monolatex-modified mortars. However, the vinyl chloride-vinylidene chloride copolymer (PVDC)/SBR and PVDC/SAE blends-modified mortars showed antisynergistic effect. The compressive strength of the modified mortars increased with the increasing of the tensile strength of the latex films, while the flexural strength of the modified mortars did not depend on the tensile strength of the latex films. When PVDC with the mass fraction of 0.2 or SAE copolymer emulsion with mass fraction of 0.4 was blended into SBR latex, the latex blend-modified mortars showed lower chloride diffusivity. The chloride diffusivity of the modified mortars increased approximately linear with the tensile strength of the latex blend films, and decreased with increase of the elongation at rupture of the latex blend films. When the elongation at rupture of the latex blend films increased from 200-300% to more than 800%, the chloride diffusivity of the modified mortars decreased from 10-15×10⁻¹² to 3-4×10⁻¹² m²/s.

A force modulation study on crystallization process in ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene copolymer films

This paper introduces the Force Modulation technique to the study of crystallization process in ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene copolymer films. Using this technique we have successfully visualized ferroelectric crystalline domains and observed that these ferroelectric domains grow out from amorphous phase, unite into strip-like structures, and finally congregate into a union. Force Modulation can weaken the influence of topography on imaging of ferroelectric domains, and reveal more details, which are difficult to be observed in topographical image.

Investigation into the time-dependent behaviour of reinforced concrete specimens strengthened with externally bonded CFRP-plates

This paper deals with the influence of an external CFRP-reinforcement on the time dependent behaviour of flexural concrete beams. For this purpose, four reinforced concrete beams are tested in relaxation under three-point bending. Three of the four are strengthened with a composite plate bonded to their tensile soffit. The latter is not strengthened. The phenomenon of relaxation leads to a decrease in the loading force in the course of time. The test results are analysed in three ways: the first is a comparison between the global behaviour of the four beams. The second is a detailed analysis of the internal equilibrium of the beams in the course of time. The third is a global approach based on an incremental method suited to time analysis of composite structures. It can be concluded that composite reinforcement has a positive influence on the long term behaviour of strengthened beams. Their time dependent behaviours are different depending on whether the beam is pre-cracked before being strengthened. This difference may be taken into account using a coefficient of influence applied to the composite reinforcement. The existence of a period of loading before strengthening has a positive influence on the long-term behaviour of the beam.

Machine-learning paradigms for selecting ecologically significant input variables

Harmful algal blooms, which are considered a serious environmental problem nowadays, occur in coastal waters in many parts of the world. They cause acute ecological damage and ensuing economic losses, due to fish kills and shellfish poisoning as well as public health threats posed by toxic blooms. Recently, data-driven models including machine-learning (ML) techniques have been employed to mimic dynamics of algal blooms. One of the most important steps in the application of a ML technique is the selection of significant model input variables. In the present paper, we use two extensively used ML techniques, artificial neural networks (ANN) and genetic programming (GP) for selecting the significant input variables. The efficacy of these techniques is first demonstrated on a test problem with known dependence and then they are applied to a real-world case study of water quality data from Tolo Harbour, Hong Kong. These ML techniques overcome some of the limitations of the currently used techniques for input variable selection, a review of which is also presented. The interpretation of the weights of the trained ANN and the GP evolved equations demonstrate their ability to identify the ecologically significant variables precisely. The significant variables suggested by the ML techniques also indicate chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) itself to be the most significant input in predicting the algal blooms, suggesting an auto-regressive nature or persistence in the algal bloom dynamics, which may be related to the long flushing time in the semi-enclosed coastal waters. The study also confirms the previous understanding that the algal blooms in coastal waters of Hong Kong often occur with a life cycle of the order of 1–2 weeks.
