粗粒料三轴试验橡皮膜嵌入量数值模拟

在粗粒料三轴试验中,橡皮膜嵌入量可造成显著的体积变形量测误差。本文针对颗粒材料的接触特点,利用Nagata Patch方法重建颗粒表面,基于重建曲面进行接触状态的判断和接触几何信息的计算,开发了高效的颗粒接触算法。该法采用dual mortar有限元方法处理颗粒与橡皮膜间的接触模拟,针对橡皮膜变形较大的特点,采用更新坐标的大变形计算格式,并根据重建的颗粒表面对颗粒-橡皮膜的距离进行几何修正,实现了颗粒-橡皮膜接触的精细化模拟,可较好地模拟计算“柔性”橡皮膜嵌入颗粒孔隙的过程。进行了Kramer钢球试验以及粗颗粒料和标准粗砂三轴试验橡皮膜嵌入过程的模拟计算,计算结果符合一般规律,与相应的试验结果吻合较好,验证了本文方法对于粗粒料膜嵌入问题的适用性。

Visualizing Extracellular Vesicles and Their Function in 3D Tumor Microenvironment Models

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived nanostructures that mediate intercellular communication by delivering complex signals in normal tissues and cancer. The cellular coordination required for tumor development and maintenance is mediated, in part, through EV transport of molecular cargo to resident and distant cells. Most studies on EV-mediated signaling have been performed in two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cell cultures, largely because of their simplicity and high-throughput screening capacity. Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures can be used to study cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions, enabling the study of EV-mediated cellular communication. 3D cultures may best model the role of EVs in formation of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and cancer cell-stromal interactions that sustain tumor growth. In this review, we discuss EV biology in 3D culture correlates of the TME. This includes EV communication between cell types of the TME, differences in EV biogenesis and signaling associated with differing scaffold choices and in scaffold-free 3D cultures and cultivation of the premetastatic niche. An understanding of EV biogenesis and signaling within a 3D TME will improve culture correlates of oncogenesis, enable molecular control of the TME and aid development of drug delivery tools based on EV-mediated signaling.

Multidisciplinary optimization of gas-quenching process

Distortion as a result of the quenching process is predominantly due to the thermal gradient and phase transformations within the component. Compared with traditional liquid quenching, the thermal boundary conditions during gas quenching are relatively simple to control. By adjusting the gas-quenching furnace pressure, the flow speed, or the spray nozzle configuration, the heat-transfer coefficients can be designed in terms of both the component geometry and the quenching time. The purpose of this research is to apply the optimization methodology to design the gas-quenching process. The design objective is to minimize the distortion caused by quenching. Constraints on the average surface hardness, and its distribution and residual stress are imposed. The heat-transfer coefficients are used as design variables. DEFORM-HT is used to predict material response during quenching. The response surface method is used to obtain the analytical models of the objective function and constraints in terms of the design variables. Once the response surfaces of the objective and constraints are obtained, they are used to search for the optimum heat-transfer coefficients. This process is then used instead of the finite-element analysis. A one-gear blank case study is used to demonstrate the optimization scheme.     

Modelling of plastic flow, heat transfer and microstructural evolution during rolling of eutectoid steel rods

A study was undertaken in an attempt to quantitatively describe the rolling process of eutectoid steel rods. Finite element method was employed to model plastic flow and heat transfer in the deformed material, and heat transfer during cooling to ambient temperature. The numerical calculation gave an assessment of the strain, strain rate and temperature distributions in the work piece. This allowed the prediction of the austenite microstructure evolution during the process. Finally, the relationships describing the microstructure-mechanical properties were used to quantitatively characterize the influence of processing parameters on strength of rods after rolling.
