A study of the large strain deformation and failure behaviour of mixed biopolymer gels via in situ ESEM

A mixed biopolymer gel, consisting of a protein (gelatin) and polysaccharide (maltodextrin) mixture has been investigated. By controlling the composition it was possible to construct an ‘emulsion-like’ structure, with included spherical particles of one phase (maltodextrin) within a continuous matrix of the second (gelatin). Large strain deformation and failure behaviour of this system has been examined via in situ environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). ESEM has been employed to explore the changes in the structure of the material, whilst allowing the sample to stay hydrated as it was subjected to tensile strain, thereby allowing simultaneous imaging and determination of stress-strain data of the native sample. Ductile behaviour was observed, which has been attributed to the stretching, tearing and fracture of gelatin ligaments and debonding at the interface between the maltodextrin particles and continuous gelatin matrix. Deformation and fracture of the maltodextrin particles during tensile testing was also observed. The interfacial fracture energy of the composite has been calculated following an elastomer composite-debonding model, although there are several limitations to this approach for the mixed gel. It was found in samples tested after different ageing times that the debonding stress and strain was decreasing with ageing leading to a lower interfacial fracture energy. Samples were also tested after successive loading cycles, which resulted in a mechanical strength decrease after each cycle.     

Plastic deformation of bcc metal thin foils without dislocation

Heavy plastic deformation of fcc metal thin foils to fracture has been found recently to proceed without involving dislocations, and it results in the formation of high density of vacancy clusters. Thin foil specimens of bcc metals such as V and Mo were plastically deformed to fracture in in situ elongation experiments under an electron microscope. Morphology of thinning and fracture was found to be similar to fcc metals, and no dislocation was observed during heavy deformation. Electron diffraction analysis at the tip of a crack during deformation confirmed a large elastic deformation of up to 5%. Unlike in fcc metal thin foil specimens, point defect clusters were not observed near fractured tips. This difference is attributed to the difference in vacancy reaction, though the deformation in bcc metals without dislocation most likely does produce vacancies.

几何造型的自由畸变方法

几何造型是计算机图形学的重要研究内容，ＣＡＤ／ＣＡＭ的核心技术，现行的许多造型系统仅限于造型二次曲面及旋转曲面，没有自由曲面造型能力，本文研究的自由畸变为法，很容易扩展这些系统的自由曲面造型功能，该方法已成功地用于扩展ＭＯＶＩＥ．ＢＹＵ系统的自由曲面造型功能。     

方盒形带凸缘件的板料形状优化设计

本文用大变形刚塑性有限元模拟正方形板料在方冲头拉延下的凸缘变形过程，并以所获得的工件形状与金属流动方向为依据，对初始板料形状进行修正。对修正后的坯料形状进行二次模拟，获得了与给定凸缘形状基本吻合的拉延件形状。文中对不同凸缘圆角对极料优化形状的影响作了计算，讨论了在保证边界轮廓位置不变的条件下网格划分的方法。     

Application of Galerkin Method to Dynamical Behavior of Viscoelastic Timoshenko Beam with Finite Deformation

The motion equations governing the dynamical behavior of a viscoelasticTimoshenko beam with finite deformation are derived and simplified byGalerkin method. The viscoelastic material is assumed to obey thethree-dimensional fractional derivative constitutive relation. Thedynamical behaviors of the simplified systems with order 1 and order 2are numerically computed and compared by using the computational methodpresented by the authors. The dynamical behaviors of the systems areuniform qualitatively, but there is a little deviation quantitatively.And the truncated system with order 1 is safer than the one of order 2.It is also shown that the lower order system is reasonable. Theinfluences of the load parameter and the fractional derivative parameter(material parameter) on the deflection of the beam are consideredrespectively. The numerical methods in nonlinear dynamics, such as phasediagram, and Poincaré section, are applied to reveal dynamical behaviorsof the nonlinear viscoelastic Timoshenko beam. There are plenty ofdynamical behaviors, such as periodicity, bifurcation, quasi-periodicityand chaos in the dynamical system.     

小浪底水库调水调沙运用对大坝变形的影响分析

自2002年以来,小浪底水库汛前利用预泄汛限水位以上水量、腾空防洪库容的有利时机,连续5年进行集中调水调沙,获得了巨大的减淤效益.但在调水调沙期间,由于大流量下泄,水库水位下降较快,大坝变形明显增大,表现为水平位移向上游变化、垂直位移加速沉降变化的特点.监测分析结果表明,调水调沙运用不影响大坝安全稳定运行.     

纵向零序电压保护新方案及其应用

由于结构设计的原因，综合性能较好的一些保护方案如横差保护和不完全纵差保护等将不能应用于大型超临界汽轮发电机。文中重点讨论了纵向零序电压保护方案的改进及其在应用中的问题。研究表明，发电机发生匝间短路故障时3次谐波电势减小，而机组外部故障时发电机3次谐波电势增大。因此，为了提高纵向零序电压保护方案的性能，可以根据故障时3次谐波电压增量的特性作为选取制动量的依据，从而提高保护性能。亦即:当3次谐波电压表现为负增量时，制动量取为0或接近0;而当3次谐波电压表现为正增量时，以该增量值作为制动量。此外，对匝间保护纵向零序电压元件增加一个小延时是可行的，它可以提高保护躲暂态3次谐波影响的能力。仿真计算表明，比例制动式纵向零序电压保护能可靠区分内外部故障，符合大型超临界汽轮发电机的保护要求。
