The effect of doubly tapered strut morphology on the plastic yield surface of cellular materials

Although the literature on the mechanics of cellular materials is vast, there is no theoretical model to account for the effects of axial yielding of struts aligned to the applied loading direction on the plastic yield surface under multiaxial loading conditions. An anisotropic hexagonal model having tapered strut morphology is developed to show these effects on the plastic yield surface under multiaxial tensile loading condition. This model covers several types of cellular structure such as two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal and square cellular materials, and three-dimensional (3D) hexagonal and rhombic cellular materials of rod-like columnar structure. A tetrahedral element with tapered strut morphology is also used for a foam model to illustrate these effects on the yield surface under axisymmetric loading condition. Plastic collapse due to bending moment in the inclined struts is a dominant mode. However, under multiaxial tensile loading, the collapse due to axial yielding of struts parallel to the loading direction is found to be an important mode. The shape of plastic yield surface was found to depend not only on relative density but also on the strut morphology.     

The heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of finned tube banks in forced convection (effects of fin height on pressure drop characteristics)

In recent years the requirement for the reduction of energy consumption has been increasing to solve the problems of global warming and the shortage of petroleum resources. For example, in the power generation field, as thermal power generation occupied 60% of the power generation demand, considerable improvement of the thermal efficiency is required. This paper describes the pressure drop characteristics of finned tube banks used for heat exchangers in thermal power generation that were clarified by testing serrated finned tube banks with different fin heights for improved heat transfer and conventional spiral finned tube banks with different fin heights, and an equation to predict pressure drop which is necessary for the heat exchanger design is proposed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of processing conditions on the yield and failure response of an aliphatic polyketone terpolymer

The effect of processing conditions on the yield and failure behavior of an aliphatic polyketone terpolymer was studied. Testing and characterization were performed on samples that were extruded in the form of hollow cylinders. We performed the extrusion process at different shear rates and at different cooling rates to assess the effect that process conditions had on the polymer properties. We performed biaxial testing on the samples to characterize the failure envelopes, including the ductile–brittle transition condition for each process condition. The effect of shear rate was negligible, whereas the cooling rate significantly affected the failure behavior. To explain these differences in behavior, we performed characterization via differential scanning calorimetry, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, attenuated total reflection IR spectroscopy, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and residual stress measurements. A broad glass transition was found for all samples at temperatures higher than previously reported for this material. Alteration of the processing conditions did not influence the crystalline phase (percentage crystallinity, crystalline orientation, crystallite size, etc.). A change in spherulitic structure was also observed with altered cooling rate and is suggested to have contributed to the change in failure behavior. Residual stresses also affected the behavior of all samples. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 84: 318–334, 2002; DOI 10.1002/app.10334

隧道埋深及开挖方法对于二衬支护时机的影响

为了研究隧道埋深和施工方法对二衬支护时机的影响,以广梧高速公路牛车顶隧道为工程背景,建立数值计算模型,分别改变隧道埋深和施工方法,得到相应的隧道二衬支护时机.结果表明：通过数值计算,可定量得到二衬及掌子面之间的允许距离和埋深的关系;当埋深较小时,二衬与掌子面的允许距离随着埋深的增加而增加;当埋深超过某一限值时,隧道二衬与掌子面的允许距离基本不变;开挖工法对二衬与掌子面间的允许距离影响比较显著,而对仰拱与掌子面的允许距离影响很小.随着开挖断面分部的增加,开挖对围岩的扰动减小,因而可以适当延缓构筑二衬时机.若选取Ⅲ级围岩中的全断面开挖法作为参考基准,则围岩中二衬与掌子面的允许距离将由于选择不同工法需进行修正,相应的修正值为：全断面法1.0,上下台阶法和中隔壁法均为1.5.     

Ultralight X-type lattice sandwich structure (I): Concept,fabrication and experimental characterization

A new type of ultra-lightweight metallic lattice structure (named as the X-type structure) is reported. This periodic structure was formed by two groups of staggered struts in the traditional pyramid structure, and fabricated by folding expanded metal sheet along rows of offset nodes and then brazing the folded structure (as the core) with top and bottom facesheets to form sandwich panels. The out-of-plane compressive and shear properties of the X-type lattice sandwich structure were investigated experimentally and compared to those of the sandwich having a pyramidal truss core. It is found that the formation of the 2-dimensional staggered nodes can effectively make the X-type structure more resistant to inelastic and plastic buckling under both compression and shear loading than the pyramidal lattice truss. Obtained results show that the compressive and shear peak strengths of the X-type lattice structure are about 30% higher than those of the pyramidal lattice truss having the same relative density.

有埋深无体积质量的黏性土地基极限承载力的直接求解

对于有埋深无体积质量黏性土地基极限承载力的求解,目前大多数土力学的书籍中都是先假定滑移面然后用静力平衡的方法求解,这样的求解过程是不精确的.利用Coulomb-Mohr屈服准则,基于R.希尔调和挤出图,采用了塑性力学滑移线的方法求解,得到了相同的结论,但是推导过程却大为简化.
