Shear rate dependence of viscosity and first normal stress difference of LCP/PET blends at solid and molten states of LCP

The liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were blended in an elastic melt extruder to make samples having 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 wt % of LCP. Morphology of these samples was studied using scanning electron microscopy. The steady state shear viscosity (η), dynamic complex viscosity (η*) and first normal stress difference (N₁) were evaluated and compared at two temperatures: 265°C, at which LCP was in solid state, and 285°C, at which LCP was in molten state. The PET was in molten state at both the temperatures. The shear viscosity of the studied blends displayed its dependence on composition and shear rate. A maxima was observed in viscosity versus composition plot corresponding to 80/20 LCP/PET blend. The N₁ increased with LCP loading in PET and with the increased asymmetry of LCP droplets. The N₁ also varied with the shear stress in two stages; the first stage demonstrated elastic deformation, whereas second stage displayed dominant plastic deformation of LCP droplets. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

考虑土体强度参数深度依赖性的非平稳随机场边坡滑动深度和体积分析

基于随机有限元方法（RFEM）和Monte-Carlo模拟,建立了能够模拟具有深度依赖性的土体强度参数边坡或具有软弱夹层边坡的非平稳随机场模型。通过辐射扫描方法获取最危险滑动面,得到非平稳随机场边坡滑动深度和滑动体积。将该方法与均质边坡和平稳随机场边坡获得的滑动深度和滑动体积进行对比,研究土体强度参数深度依赖性的非平稳随机场边坡的不同坡度和各向异性对滑动深度和滑动体积的影响。结果表明：基于RFEM的非平稳随机场滑动深度和滑动体积结果为地质灾害风险及后果评估提供了一个参考分析的新角度;参数的深度依赖性程度越高(变化率b越大),则边坡平均滑动深度和滑动体积越小;在大坡度滑坡风险后果评估中,可以基于均质边坡分析结果进行初步预估;在非平稳随机场中,随着各向异性的增大,所有坡度边坡的滑动体积变异系数增大;不同坡度下,水平方向的相关程度越大,则土坡内软弱夹层的不确定性越强,滑动体积的变异系数也不断增大。     

ESTIMATION OF EFFECTIVE SHEAR RATE FOR AERATED NON-NEWTONIAN LIQUIDS IN AIRLIFT BIOREACTOR”“

Effective shear rate is one of the indispensable parameters for the design of aerobic fermentors using a viscous non-Newtonian system. The estimation of effective shear rate in airlift loop bioreactors has been investigated with liquid circulation velocity. An empirical correlation of effective shear rate in airlift loop reactors is proposed.

γ_eπ= 3.26-3.51 ; 10²U_G + 1.48 10⁴U²_G

It is found that the effective shear rate is lower in airlift reactors than in bubble columns. This equation can be used for the cultivation of cells sensitive to shear stress.     

Short‐beam three‐point bend test study in syntactic foam. Part III: Effects of interface modification on strength and fractographic features

Syntactic foam slabs having uncoated microballoons and paraffin oil surface‐treated microballoons were fabricated and tested for short‐beam three‐point bend test. The work points to the role of paraffin oil coating first weakening the interface between the microballoons and the matrix and hence lowering the efficiency of load transfer from matrix to the fillers (i.e., microballoons). This led to an overall decrement of 71% in the experimentally measured strength value compared to the deduced value for uncoated microballoons' specimens. The large strengths for uncoated microballoons specimens can be traced to the presence of the curvilinear marks in the matrix that, incidentally, are absent in the case of paraffin oil coated specimens. These observations are revealed distinctly in the microscopy of test‐failed specimens. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 98: 687–693, 2005     

非饱和黏性土直剪强度特性及其修正分析

为研究非饱和黏性土的直剪强度特性,采用非膨胀土及两种不同干密度的弱膨胀土进行了包含低应力状态下8种不同上覆压力的直剪试验。试验结果表明,随着上覆压力的增大,最大剪应力及所对应的剪切位移逐渐增大,试验中低应力状态下测定的土体凝聚力小于高应力状态,且试验中的上覆压力对膨胀性土凝聚力的影响大于非膨胀性黏土;而低应力状态下测定的土体内摩擦角大于高应力状态。对直剪试验中上下盒接触面积减小对抗剪强度参数测定的影响进行了分析,分析表明,接触面积减小对抗剪指标有影响,但极其微小。提出对膨胀土边坡浅层破坏进行稳定性分析时应采用低应力下的抗剪强度参数。     

利用十字板强度推算软土抗剪强度指标方法的探讨

软土结构性强,灵敏度高,常规室内试验测得强度参数偏小,而十字板剪切试验对土体扰动小,测定结果较为准确,但是十字板剪切试验无法直接得到土体的c,φ值,需要使用一定的方法进行转换。该文结合某一工程案例,探讨了目前常用的几种根据十字板剪切试验推算软土抗剪强度指标的方法,发现几种方法对于软土内摩擦角φ的推算均能达到较好的效果,但是粘聚力c偏大。最后,提出一种基于地基承载力公式修正c值的方法,对规范方法进行粘聚力修正,结果较为合理。     

花岗岩残积土-土工格栅界面的后循环剪切行为研究

花岗岩残积土在华南、东南沿海、南岳、新疆等地区广泛分布,前人的研究多集中在结构性及微观特性上,后循环加载、位移演化、土壤密度等因素对筋-土界面的剪切特性及加筋作用效果的影响评估研究较少。从循环试验剪切刚度这一重要参数入手,以加载次数、加载频率值、位移振幅值、土壤重度值为自变量,应用控制变量法,通过设计循环直剪试验,得到加筋花岗岩残积土的剪切应力与剪切位移、垂直位移与剪切位移关系曲线进行观察对比,结果表明:花岗岩残积土土工格栅界面剪切刚度受位移半振幅、土壤干重度影响很大,受加载频率影响很小,循环加载并没有弱化后循环界面剪切强度,剪切位移与位移半振幅呈负相关关系。     

UHTCC/RC复合梁剪切性能试验研究

超高韧性水泥基复合材料(UHTCC)以其多重细密稳态开裂模式在宏观上展现出拉应变硬化特征,具有优异的裂缝控制能力,可用作修补材料。采用UHTCC替代部分受拉区混凝土对有腹筋UHTCC/RC复合梁进行了剪切性能研究。试验变量为UHTCC层厚度。结果表明:不同UHTCC层厚度的UHTCC/RC复合梁,其抗剪承载力均明显高于RC对比梁;即便配置较密集的箍筋,仍然无法阻止界面剥离,但可以避免界面剥离产生的荷载抖降;UHTCC能够限制和分散上层混凝土中的裂缝。最后,给出了UHTCC/RC复合梁在实际应用中的建议。     

泄水建筑物下游冲刷坑二维数值模拟

对巨亭水电站泄水建筑物下游局部冲刷过程进行了二维数值模拟。采用RNG k-ε湍流模型封闭N-S方程、有限体积法在计算网格上离散求解、VOF方法追踪自由水面;采用C语言编写用户自定义函数,以泥沙起动切应力作为床面泥沙起动判别标准,通过分析比较水流剪切力与泥沙起动切应力大小,用以控制冲刷坑底部边界变化;采用局部重构模型和弹簧光顺模型更新计算区域和网格质量,藉以模拟和追踪局部冲刷坑边界变化。研究表明,模拟结果与实测资料符合良好。在冲刷坑的冲刷过程中,床面剪切应力随着冲刷的进程急剧减小,湍动能随着冲刷的进程减小缓慢;床面剪切应力和湍动能沿程变化均较为剧烈,床面剪切应力沿程先增大后减小,床面湍动能则沿程减小。冲刷坑的纵向平衡形态或床面泥沙起动主要决定于床面剪切应力,床面湍动能对泥沙起动也具有重要影响。     

振动剪切作用下聚合物熔体的非仿射网络结构模型 Ⅱ．非仿射网络结构模型

假设聚合物熔体的缠结网络形变是非仿射的，运用瞬态网络结构原理，采用在本课题第一部分^[1]中所建立的动态速率方程，并对上随体Maxwell本构方程加以修正来建立一个非仿射网络结构模型，利用这一模型来研究振动剪切作用下LDPE熔体的流变行为，研究表明，随着应变振幅和频率的增加，LDPE熔体的剪切应力也增加，同时指出了非仿射网络结构模型的精确变比仿射结构模型有较大提高，这表明在振动力场作用下，网络形变发生了非仿射形变，因此在建立振动力场作用下聚烯烃熔体本构方程时，不能假设其网络是仿射形变的。
