Influence of stochastic mesoscopic structure on macroscopic mechanical behavior of brittle material

A newly developed numerical code, MFPA(2D) (Material Failure Process Analysis), is applied to study the influence of stochastic mesoscopic structure on macroscopic mechanical behavior of rock-like materials. A set of uniaxial compression tests has been numerically studied with numerical specimens containing pre-existing crack-like flaw. The numerical results reveal the influence of random mesoscopic structure on failure process of brittle material, which indicates that the variation of failure mode is strongly sensitive to the local disorder feature of the specimen. And the patterns of the crack evolution in the specimens are very different from each other due to the random mesoscopic structure in material. The results give a good explanation for various kinds of fracture modes and peak strength variation observed in laboratory studies with specimens made from the same rock block being statistically homogenous in macro scale. In addition, the evolution of crack is more complicated in heterogeneous cases than in homogeneous cases.

Experimental Investigation On The Slip Between Oil And Water In Horizontal Pipes

This work is devoted to study of the slip phenomenon between phases in water-oil two-phase flow in horizontal pipes. The emphasis is placed on the effects of input fluids flow rates, pipe diameter and viscosities of oil phase on the slip. Experiments were conducted to measure the holdup in two horizontal pipes with 0.05 m diameter and 0.025 m diameter, respectively, using two different viscosities of white oil and tap water as liquid phases. Results showed that the ratios of in situ oil to water velocity at the pipe of small diameter are higher than those at the pipe of big diameter when having same input flow rates. At low input water flow rate, there is a large deviation on the holdup between two flow systems with different oil viscosities and the deviation becomes gradually smaller with further increased input water flow rate.

Pull-In Instability Of Micro-Switch Actuators: Model Review

The existing three widely used pull-in theoretical models (i.e., one-dimensional lumped model, linear supposition model and planar model) are compared with the nonlinear beam mode in this paper by considering both cantilever and fixed-fixed type micro and nano-switches. It is found that the error of the pull-in parameters between one-dimensional lumped model and the nonlinear beam model is large because the denominator of the electrostatic force is minimal when the electrostatic force is computed at the maximum deflection along the beam. Since both the linear superposition model and the slender planar model consider the variation of electrostatic force with the beam's deflection, these two models not only are of the same type but also own little error of the pull-in parameters with the nonlinear beam model, the error brought by these two models attributes to that the boundary conditions are not completely satisfied when computing the numerical integration of the deflection.

关于Columbus问题的几点注记

<正> 在Columbus问题的研究中,应用全充液腔体定点旋转运动稳定理论模型(以下简称定点模型)已有长期历史。最近,文献[13]认为“定点模型”是错误的,这是一个无视这个问题理论和实验研究历史的武断的结论。文献[13]中公式(5)和(6)只是小扰动条件下线性理论的结果,却被作为依据导出大扰动条件下的公式(7)。本文目的就是为了澄清这些问题,同时叙述了一项新的流体转子陀螺实验。

煤浆的流变性和稳定性

<正> 随着工农业和交通运输业的迅速发展,人类社会对矿物燃料的需求越来越大。石油既是一种比较清洁而又使用便利的通用燃料,又是可贵的化工原料,其需求量增长尤为迅速。石油资源最终枯竭的前景是意料中的事。矿物燃料中得天独厚,储量最大的是煤。仅以我国而论,现已探明的煤的天然储量有几千亿吨,按现在的年产量估计,可供开采一千多年。但是,煤既不适用于原有的烧油锅炉、各种动力装置和输送系统,燃烧后排放的废气和粉尘又

带边缘缺口碳纤维增强环氧复合材料静态与疲劳破坏特性

本文对碳纤维增强环氧复合材料0°和±45°铺层无缺口和带直边缺口层板,进行了静态拉伸和拉-拉疲劳破坏试验研究,比较和分析了不同铺层材料和有无缺口试件在静态和疲劳的特性以及损伤破坏型式。采用多种方法(声发射装置、两种位移传感器、电影摄影机、光学显微镜和扫描电镜等),检测层板的损伤。结果表明:带有垂直于载荷方向直边缺口的该类铺层碳/环氧层板受静态或疲劳拉伸时,裂缝不是沿缺口长度方向扩展,而是沿界面(纤维方向)扩展;缺口的存在基本上不影响其余无缺口部分的应力。并讨论了它的损伤破坏机理。

中子星的吸积流动

本文分析中子星的吸积流动,其中磁轴与自转轴重合.吸积盘内缘区域的波阻将使盘内的角速度偏离开普勒速度而减小,引力势能使流体加热和加速.吸积盘中有两类流动.完全亚声速流动的引力势能主要使吸积流加热.另一种流动有跨声速过渡和激波.这两种流动都表明,吸积盘的高温区域都位于过渡区中,而外部区域中气体温度不高.还计算了中子星磁层中的吸积流动.在极区距几个中子星半径处,气体被急剧加热,产生X射线辐射,形成热斑.这些结果与中子星吸积流动的主要特征一致.

LJD状态方程的简便公式

为了实际使用更方便,我们提出了LJD状态方程的一个简便公式。这个简化了的表达式是基于LJD理论在θ从10到290和τ从0.3到1.0范围内的数值结果得来的,而该理论中所用的分子间相互作用势是6-exp(α=13)势。用这式子计算的结果与数值结果相比最大偏差约为10％,而对爆轰产物所涉及的范围则在6％以内。

东方红-60推土机车架强度分析

<正> 一、问题的提出推土机车架是按装推土机各部件(发动机、减速器、后桥和驾驶座等)的基础。车架除承受这些部件的重量以及由此引起的动负荷外,还承受相当大的履带工作张力以及地面作用于车轮正向和侧向的阻力。因此在实际工作中,车架各杆件均处于拉、扭、弯、压同时作用的这一复杂而又繁重的工作载荷条件下。由于车架是推土机的基础,不管车架是变形还是损坏都会直接影响到推土机的正常使用。因此,必须保证车架有足够的强度和刚度。

关于弹性体固有频率的两个变分原理

<正> 对于几何形狀较复雜的彈性体,要嚴格地根据彈性体力学的全部方程來决定它的固有频率是有很大的困难的,因此在实际上常常采用了各式各样的近似解法,其中最有名的近似解法要算根据萊瑞原理的变分解法(称为萊瑞黎茲法)。在許多問題中,萊瑞黎兹法給出了滿意的結果。但是这个方法在实用上及理論上遺留下两个問題:第一、在許多問題中,我們往往能对应力分布的情況作适当的估計,可是这些估計在萊瑞黎兹法中不能加以充分利用;第二、在各种近似理論中,例如在梁、板、壳的近似理論中,虽然都各有自己的萊瑞原理,可是这些原理并不是彈性体力学中的萊瑞原理的直接的特殊形式。

Triple-region structure for turbulent-flow in a square duct - a finite-element approach

The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for describing the turbulent flow in a straight square duct are formulated with two different turbulence models. The governing equations are then expanded as a multi-deck structure in a plane perpendicular to the streamwise direction, with each deck characterized by its dominant physical forces as commonly carried out in analytical work using triple-deck expansion. The resulting equations are numerically integrated using higher polynomial (H-P) finite element technique for each cross-sectional plane to be followed by finite difference representation in the streamwise direction until a fully developed state is reached. The computed results using the two different turbulence models show fair agreement with each other, and concur with the vast body of available experimental data. There is also general agreement between our results and the recent numerical works anisotropic k-epsilon turbulence model.

Coflow jets with large velocity difference - a new aerodynamic principle of flame stabilization and combustion intensification

A new aerodynamic principle of flame stabilization and combustion intensification, the coflow jets with large velocity difference, is described. One or more small high-velocity jets of air or steam, injected off the axis and in the same direction as the low-velocity main fuel-air flow into the combustor, create a large recirculation zone of high turbulence intensity in which the combustibles and high temperature gases are effectively mixed, so that stable and intensive combustion can be maintained even for fuels with poor ignition. A pulverized coal combustor based on the principle mentioned above is shown to be characteristic of excellent combustoom and a simple structure. A number of precombustors of this type are in operation at some power stations and industrial boilers of China. Using such precombustor, successtul startups and part-load operation of the boilers have become available under conditions of unpreheated air and low-grade coal with volatiles as low as 15% and ash content as high as 30%. This principle shows good promise as an attractive new technology of combustion.
