Rubber materials filled with reinforcing fillers display nonlinear rheological behavior at small strain amplitudes below γ0 < 0.1. Nevertheless, rheological data are analyzed mostly in terms of linear parameters, such as shear moduli (G′, G″), which loose their physical meaning in the nonlinear regime. In this work styrene butadiene rubber filled with carbon black (CB) under large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) is analyzed in terms of the nonlinear parameter I3/1. Three different CB grades are used and the filler load is varied between 0 and 70 phr. It is found that I3/1(φ) is most sensitive to changes of the total accessible filler surface area at low strain amplitudes (γ0 = 0.32). The addition of up to 70 phr CB leads to an increase of I3/1(φ) by a factor of more than ten. The influence of the measurement temperature on I3/1 is pronounced for CB levels above the percolation threshold.
This paper proposed a new Q690 circular high‐strength concrete‐filled thin‐walled steel tubular (HCFTST) column comprising an ultrahigh‐strength steel tube (yield strength fy ≥ 690 MPa). A quasi‐static cyclic loading test was conducted to examine the seismic behavior, and the obtained lateral load‐displacement hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, and ductility were analyzed in detail. Then, a numerical model based on a nonlinear fiber beam‐column element incorporating the modified uniaxial cyclic constitutive laws for concrete and steel was developed mainly to predict the seismic behavior of the tested Q690 circular HCFTST columns. The effects of the concrete cylinder compressive strength (fc), steel yield strength (fy), axial compression ratio (n), and diameter‐to‐thickness (D/t) ratio on the seismic behavior were investigated through a parametric study. Finally, a simplified hysteretic model incorporating the moment‐resisting capacity and deterioration of the unloading stiffness in addition to a normalized skeleton curve and hysteretic criterion was established. The results indicate the following: the proposed Q690 circular HCFTST columns can display reasonable hysteretic behaviors to some extent; the use of high‐strength steel can lead to a significantly larger elasto‐plastic deformation capacity and delay the appearance of post‐peak behavior, even if a lower ductility capacity is provided; moderately loosening the limitations on the D/t ratio can also result in ideal hysteretic behaviors; and the established numerical model and simplified hysteretic model can satisfactorily predict the experimentally observed load‐displacement hysteretic curves, including the deterioration of the strength and stiffness and can, thus, offer design references for the elasto‐plastic analysis of circular HCFTST columns. 相似文献
Data are very important to build the digital mine. Data come from many sources, have different types and temporal states. Relations between one class of data and the other one, or between data and unknown parameters are more nonlinear. The unknown parameters are non-random or random, among which the random parameters often dynamically vary with time. Therefore it is not accurate and reliable to process the data in building the digital mine with the classical least squares method or the method of the common nonlinear least squares. So a generalized nonlinear dynamic least squares method to process data in building the digital mine is put forward. In the meantime, the corresponding mathematical model is also given. The generalized nonlinear least squares problem is more complex than the common nonlinear least squares problem and its solution is more difficultly obtained because the dimensions of data and parameters in the former are bigger. So a new solution model and the method are put forward to solve the generalized nonlinear dynamic least squares problem. In fact, the problem can be converted to two sub-problems, each of which has a single variable. That is to say, a complex problem can be separated and then solved. So the dimension of unknown parameters can be reduced to its half, which simplifies the original high dimensional equations. The method lessens the calculating load and opens up a new way to process the data in building the digital mine, which have more sources, different types and more temporal states. 相似文献
Using the analysis of experimental data as the base, it is shown that the difference in the values of static and dynamic elastic moduli of rocks is governed by viscoelastic and microplastic mechanisms of deformation, provided the stresses do not exceed the proportionality limit. 相似文献
In the pursuit of integrated scheduling and control frameworks for chemical processes, it is important to develop accurate integrated models and computational strategies such that optimal decisions can be made in a dynamic environment. In this study, a recently developed switched system formulation that integrates scheduling and control decisions is extended to closed-loop operation embedded with nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC). The resulting framework is a nested online scheduling and control loop that allows to obtain fast and accurate solutions as no model reduction is needed and no integer variables are involved in the formulations. In the outer loop, the integrated model is solved to calculate an optimal product switching sequence such that the process economics is optimized, whereas in the inner loop, an NMPC implements the scheduling decisions. The proposed scheme was tested on two multi-product continuous systems. Unexpected large disturbances and rush orders were handled effectively. 相似文献
