Small and wide-angle X-ray scattering experiments with in-situ deformation of dry flax fibres have been carried out. An increase in the (200) peak intensity during deformation has been attributed to strain-induced crystallisation of the cellulose microfibrils, and provides evidence that the non-crystalline cellulose chains are initially oriented. However, no change in the equatorial small-angle streak (from cellulose microfibrils), the meridional reflection (from a crystalline/non-crystalline repeat along the fibre), or the microfibril orientation was seen. 相似文献

A novel numerical method is proposed for modelling time‐harmonic acoustic propagation of short wavelength disturbances on non‐uniform potential flows. The method is based on the partition of unity finite element method in which a local basis of discrete plane waves is used to enrich the conventional finite element approximation space. The basis functions are local solutions of the governing equations. They are able to represent accurately the highly oscillatory behaviour of the solution within each element while taking into account the convective effect of the flow and the spatial variation in local sound speed when the flow is non‐uniform. Many wavelengths can be included within a single element leading to ultra‐sparse meshes. Results presented in this article will demonstrate that accurate solutions can be obtained in this way for a greatly reduced number of degrees of freedom when compared to conventional element or grid‐based schemes. Numerical results for lined uniform two‐dimensional ducts and for non‐uniform axisymmetric ducts are presented to indicate the accuracy and performance which can be achieved. Numerical studies indicate that the ‘pollution’ effect associated with cumulative dispersion error in conventional finite element schemes is largely eliminated.

A number of spheroidal and ellipsoidal infinite elements have been proposed for the solution of unbounded wave problems in the frequency domain, i.e solutions of the Helmholtz equation. These elements are widely believed to be more effective than conventional spherical infinite elements in cases where the radiating or scattering object is slender or flat and can therefore be closely enclosed by a spheroidal or an ellipsoidal surface. The validity of this statement is investigated in the current article. The radial order which is required for an accurate solution is shown to depend strongly not only upon the type of element that is used, but also on the aspect ratio of the bounding spheroid and the non‐dimensional wave number. The nature of this dependence can partially be explained by comparing the non‐oscillatory component of simple source solutions to the terms available in the trial solution of spheroidal elements. Numerical studies are also presented to demonstrate the rates at which convergence can be achieved, in practice, by unconjugated‐(‘Burnett’) and conjugated (‘Astley‐Leis’)‐type elements. It will be shown that neither formulation is entirely satisfactory at high frequencies and high aspect ratios. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Four experiments used a 4-choice discrimination learning paradigm to explore the pigeon's recognition of line drawings of 4 objects (an airplane, a chair, a desk lamp, and a flashlight) that were rotated in depth. The pigeons reliably generalized discriminative responding to pictorial stimuli over all untrained depth rotations, despite the birds' having been trained at only a single depth orientation. These generalization gradients closely resembled those found in prior research that used other stimulus dimensions. Increasing the number of different vantage points in the training set from 1 to 3 broadened the range of generalized testing performance, with wider spacing of the training orientations more effectively broadening generalized responding. Template and geon theories of visual recognition are applied to these empirical results. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

Three experiments examined superordinate categorization via stimulus equivalence training in pigeons. Experiment 1 established superordinate categories by association with a common number of food pellet reinforcers, plus it established generalization to novel photographic stimuli. Experiment 2 documented generalization of choice responding from stimuli signaling different numbers of food pellets to stimuli signaling different delays to food reinforcement. Experiment 3 indicated that different numbers of food pellets did not substitute as discriminative stimuli for the photographic stimuli with which the food pellets had been paired. The collective results suggest that the effective mediator of superordinate categories that are established via learned stimulus equivalence is not likely to be an accurate representation of the reinforcer, neither is it likely to be a distinctive response that is made to the discriminative stimulus. Motivational or emotional mediation is a more likely account. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

We describe an integrated system to record physiological and behavioral variables from nonhuman primates in social groups. The system records data simultaneously from two animals in family groups of five. It synchronizes behavioral and physiological data within 16 ms, either on-line or from recordings. Behavioral data are entered by trained observers on-line or from videotape. Recordings of physiological data are produced on-line as stripchart records, tape recordings on the audio channels of video cassettes, and magnetic disk files. The physiological data include two arterial blood flows, arterial blood pressure and heart rate. The data are transmitted from freely behaving animals to a central site via radio telemetry. The infrared link controls the radio transmitter and physiological signal processing electronics, as well as two sources of drugs for each animal. All of the electronics are contained in a small, light backpack that can be worn by either male or female baboons. 相似文献

Infinite element schemes for unbounded wave problems are reviewed and a procedure is presented forassessing their performance. A general computational scheme is implemented in which orthogonal functions are used for the transverse interpolation within the infinite element region. This is used as a basis for numerical studies of the effectiveness of various combinations of the radial test and trial functions which give rise to different conjugated and unconjugated formulations. Results are presented for the test case of a spherical radiator to which infinite elements are directly attached. Accuracy of the various schemes is assessed for pure multipole solutions of arbitrary order. Previous studies which have indicated that the conjugated and unconjugated schemes are more effective in the far and near fields, respectively, are confirmed by the current results. All of the schemes tested converge to the exact solution as radial order increases. All are however susceptible to ill conditioning. This places practical restrictions on their effectiveness at high radial orders. A close relationship is demonstrated between the discrete equations which arise from first‐order infiniteelement schemes and those derived from the application of more traditional, local non‐reflecting boundary conditions.

A simple procedure for calculating how galvanic corrosion and cathodic protection effects are distributed within metallic tubular systems carrying electrolytes is described. The procedure involves the use of equations which are analytical solutions and, in some instances, equations which require numerical solutions which can easily be effected using microcomputers. The equations arc based on an assumption of unidirectional flow of electric current which is shown to be valid for appreciably conducting electrolytes, such as seawater. Various combinations of linear polarisation kinetics, Tafel law polarisation kinetics and totally diffusion-controlled kinetics can be used. Experimental verification of the procedure has been obtained using synthetic seawater for titanium and Cu-30Ni tubes in galvanic contact and for cathodically protected Cu-30Ni tube. It is proposed that the procedure could find useful application at the design stage of plant involving two or three different metals, or of cathodically protected pipework, when any necessary preventative measures indicated by an analysis could be adopted. Plant containing two or three metals can be, for example, in the form of heat-exchangers, pipe to plate combinations or pipework systems connected by plastic sections. Useful design data relating to cathodically-protected pipework can be obtained for systems based on either sacrificial protection or impressed current. 相似文献
