Interface damage caused by interface gaps, significantly different from that of metal/metal stacks, is a common problem in the through-hole drilling of CFRP/Ti stacks with low stiffness. In this study, a force–deformation coupling model was developed to further examine the formation mechanism and the control method of interface damage. Firstly, the coupling model was built considering the interaction between the thrust force and the deformation. To solve this model, a numerical method was proposed in which specific cutting coefficients were calibrated using only the thrust force of rigid stacks. Secondly, drilling experiments were performed with different feed rates and bending stiffness. Experimental results indicate that interface damage mainly includes interlayer chips and surface damage of CFRP layers. The surface damage, which is irreparable, is caused by the rotary extension of metal chips along the interlayer gap. Thirdly, variations of the interface gap were calculated with the coupling model that had been verified by measured thrust forces. The damage area was found to have a linear dependence relation with the interlayer gap. However, in conditions of large gap sizes, the interface damage areas increased with the interlayer gap at high feed rates, while decreasing slightly at low feed rates. This phenomenon was satisfactorily explained by the presented model. Finally, a method was proposed to determine the appropriate pressure exceeding which no interlayer damage will occur. Additional drilling experiments proved the method effective. This study leads to further understanding of the forming mechanism of interlayer damage and of selecting appropriate parameters in drilling low-stiffness composite/metal stacks.展开更多

This research indicated that under the action of steady loading, the mechanical deformation path of the simulated gas drainage borehole is gradually complicated, and the decay of the borehole circumferential strain is an important characterization of the prediction and early warning of borehole instability and collapse. The horizontal position of borehole occurs compressive strain, and the vertical of which occurs tensile strain under the action of vertical stress. At the initial stage of loading, the vertical strain is more sensitive than that in the horizontal direction. After a certain period of time, the horizontal strain is gradually higher than the vertical one, and the intersection of the borehole horizontal diameter and the hole wall is the stress concentration point. With the increase of the depth of hole, the strain shows a gradual decay trend as a whole, and the vertical strain decays more observably, but there is no absolute position correlation between the amount of strain decay and the increase in borehole depth,and the area within 1.5 times the orifice size is the borehole stress concentration zone.展开更多

We conducted this pro- spective randomized study to evaluate the metabolic benefits as well as the safety and efficacy with rivaroxaban versus warfarin in patients with NVAF following radiofrequency catheter ablation （RFCA）. Methods： From April to July 2014, 60 patients with NVAF undergoing RFCA were prospectively enrolled in our study. Following RFCA, all patients were randomly assigned to receive rivaroxaban （Group R, n=30） or warfarin （Group W, n=30）. Metabolic indices including serum total protein, albumin, globulin, and high-density lipoprotein （HDL） as well as bleeding, stroke, and systemic thromboembolism events were evaluated and compared during follow-up after 15, 30, 60, and 90 d of RFCA procedure. Results： Serum total protein, albumin, globulin, and HDL levels were all significantly elevated at each follow-up stage in Group R when compared to the baseline （P〈0.05 respectively）. In Group W, the metabolic indices decreased at first and then had an increasing trend. There were no deaths or thromboembolic complications in each group. The prevalence of total bleeding complications was similar between Group R and Group W （11/30, 36.7% vs. 10/30, 33.3%, P=0.70）. Conclusions： Patients with NVAF receiving rivaroxaban after RFCA procedures appear to benefit from a metabolic perspective compared with warfarin, providing practical clinical reference for the choice of the anticoagulant. Rivaroxaban seems to be as safe and effective in preventing thromboembolic events as warfarin for these patients.展开更多

文摘The wet-assembly hybrid bonded/bolted(WHBB)joint is increasingly employed in aircraft fuel tank structures owing to its advantageous mechanical strength and sealing performance.However,the integral tank is susceptible to leakage during service,particularly at the joint,which seriously endangers the flight safety of the aircraft.In this paper,a leakage prediction method of WHBB joint based on porous media theory is proposed,in which the shape and characteristic length of the sealant layer are taken into consideration.The model parameters are determined by the analysis and treatment of the defect state of the WHBB joint section.The prediction results agree well with the experimental data,which were acquired by self-designed sealing leakage rate measurement system,and the deviation between the predicted results and the average value of the experimental data is less than 20%.Furthermore,in order to verify the environmental adaptability,the prediction results based on 2D cutting sections of the joints and experimental results under three different loading conditions are compared.The comparison results not only prove the accuracy of the prediction model,but also reveal the important influence of tensile fatigue load on the sealing performance of the structure.The tensile fatigue loads lead to two orders of magnitude increase in leakage rate,and the reason is that the repeated stretching and compression process lead to an increase in interfacial cracks between the adhesive layer and the hole wall,thereby accentuating the defects within the adhesive layer.

文摘Carbon fiber reinforced plastic and titanium alloy(CFRP/Ti) stacks have been widely used as aerospace structures because of their excellent combination of physical properties. Interface damage caused by interface gaps, significantly different from that of metal/metal stacks, is a common problem in the through-hole drilling of CFRP/Ti stacks with low stiffness. In this study, a force–deformation coupling model was developed to further examine the formation mechanism and the control method of interface damage. Firstly, the coupling model was built considering the interaction between the thrust force and the deformation. To solve this model, a numerical method was proposed in which specific cutting coefficients were calibrated using only the thrust force of rigid stacks. Secondly, drilling experiments were performed with different feed rates and bending stiffness. Experimental results indicate that interface damage mainly includes interlayer chips and surface damage of CFRP layers. The surface damage, which is irreparable, is caused by the rotary extension of metal chips along the interlayer gap. Thirdly, variations of the interface gap were calculated with the coupling model that had been verified by measured thrust forces. The damage area was found to have a linear dependence relation with the interlayer gap. However, in conditions of large gap sizes, the interface damage areas increased with the interlayer gap at high feed rates, while decreasing slightly at low feed rates. This phenomenon was satisfactorily explained by the presented model. Finally, a method was proposed to determine the appropriate pressure exceeding which no interlayer damage will occur. Additional drilling experiments proved the method effective. This study leads to further understanding of the forming mechanism of interlayer damage and of selecting appropriate parameters in drilling low-stiffness composite/metal stacks.

文摘A novel virtual material layer model based on the fractal theory was proposed to predict the natural frequencies of carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite bolted joints.Rough contact surfaces of composite bolted joints are modeled with this new proposed approach.Numerical and experimental modal analyses were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed model.A good consistence is noted between the numerical and experimental results.To demonstrate the necessity of accurately modeling the rough contact surfaces in the prediction of natural frequencies,virtual material layer model was compared with the widely used traditional model based on the Master-Slave contact algorithm and experiments,respectively.Results show that the proposed model has a better agreement with experiments than the widely used traditional model(the prediction accuracy is raised by 8.77%when the pre-tightening torque is 0.5 N·m).Real contact area ratio A*of three different virtual material layers were calculated.Value of A*were discussed with dimensionless load P*,fractal dimension D and fractal roughness G.This work provides a new efficient way for accurately modeling the rough contact surfaces and predicting the natural frequencies of composite bolted joints,which can be used to help engineers in the dynamic design of composite materials.

文摘Biomass-derived carbon materials are widely applied in the energy storage and conversion fields due to their rich sources,low price and environmental friendliness.Herein,a unique pumpkin-like MoPMoS_(2)@Aspergillus niger spore-derived N-doped carbon(SNC)composite has been prepared via a simple hydrothermal and subsequent phosphorization process.Interestingly,the resulting MoP-MoS_(2)@SNC well inherits the pristine morphology of spore carbon,similar to the natural pumpkin,with hollow interiors and uneven protrusions on the surface.The special structure allows it to have sufficient space to fully contact the electrolyte and greatly reduces the ion transport distance.The theory calculations further demonstrate that the formed MoP-MoS_(2)heterostructure can enhance the adsorption of K ions and electronic couplings.With these unique advantages,the MoP-MoS_(2)@SNC anode for potassium storage shows a high reversible capability of 286.2 mAh g&(-1) at 100 mA g^(-1) after 100 cycles and superior rate performance.The enhanced electrochemical performance is mainly related to the unique pumpkin-like morphology of SNC and the construction of MoP-MoS_(2)heterostructure,as well as their perfect coupling.This study provides a feasible design idea for developing green,low-cost,and high-performance electrode materials for next-generation energy storage.

文摘This paper reports the modeling method and outcomes of mechanical performance and damage evolution of single-lap bolted composite interference-fit joints under extreme temperatures.The anisotropic continuum damage model involving thermal effects is established on continuum damage mechanics which integrates the shear nonlinearity constitutive relations characterized by Romberg-Osgood equation.The temperature-induced modification of thermal strains and material properties is incorporated in stress-strain analysis,extended 3 D failure criteria and exponential damage evolution rules.The proposed model is calibrated and employed to simulate behavior of composite joints in interference fitting,bolt preloading,thermal and bearing loading processes,during which the influence of interference-fit sizes,preload levels,laminate layups and service temperatures is thoroughly investigated.The predicated interfacial behavior,bearing response and failure modes are in good agreement with experimental tests.The numerical model is even capable of reflecting some non-intuitive experimental findings such as residual stress relaxation and matrix softening at elevated temperatures.
文摘Background and objective： Rivaroxaban is a new oral anticoagulant for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation （NVAF）, which has less drug-food interaction than warfarin. We conducted this pro- spective randomized study to evaluate the metabolic benefits as well as the safety and efficacy with rivaroxaban versus warfarin in patients with NVAF following radiofrequency catheter ablation （RFCA）. Methods： From April to July 2014, 60 patients with NVAF undergoing RFCA were prospectively enrolled in our study. Following RFCA, all patients were randomly assigned to receive rivaroxaban （Group R, n=30） or warfarin （Group W, n=30）. Metabolic indices including serum total protein, albumin, globulin, and high-density lipoprotein （HDL） as well as bleeding, stroke, and systemic thromboembolism events were evaluated and compared during follow-up after 15, 30, 60, and 90 d of RFCA procedure. Results： Serum total protein, albumin, globulin, and HDL levels were all significantly elevated at each follow-up stage in Group R when compared to the baseline （P〈0.05 respectively）. In Group W, the metabolic indices decreased at first and then had an increasing trend. There were no deaths or thromboembolic complications in each group. The prevalence of total bleeding complications was similar between Group R and Group W （11/30, 36.7% vs. 10/30, 33.3%, P=0.70）. Conclusions： Patients with NVAF receiving rivaroxaban after RFCA procedures appear to benefit from a metabolic perspective compared with warfarin, providing practical clinical reference for the choice of the anticoagulant. Rivaroxaban seems to be as safe and effective in preventing thromboembolic events as warfarin for these patients.

文摘Dynamic performance on solids flow with water in deviated tubing is essential for the reliability of pump and normal operation of horizontal and directional wells.Compared with coal-water flow in vertical tubing and sand-oil flow with high production in deviated tubing,solids deposition with water shows obvious non-symmetric distributions in deviated tubing from simulations and experiments.The mathematical model of two phase flow was developed under coupling conditions of deviated tubing,low flow rate and viscosity based on the kinetic theory of granular flow and first-order discrete scheme.The results show that solid-water stratified flow in deviated tubing can be divided into two zones of suspension bed and the moving bed throughout the flow field.The solid flowing velocity with water is negative and particles slide down at the bottom of moving bed zone.The process of solids flow with water in deviated tubing will produce pressure loss and consume the kinetic energy.The thickness of deposited layer and the flowing velocity of solids flow downward with water at the moving bed zone enhance with the decreased inlet flow rate and the increased particle size,tubing inside diameter(ID)and inclination angle.Solids are easier into suspension from the upper part of moving bed zone to suspension bed zone and more solid particles flow with water towards the tubing outlet with the increase of inlet flowing velocity.The decision is made to reduce the screen width,tubing ID and inclination angle to maintain to be greater than critical deposition velocity in order to prevent solids settling.And it provides the theoretical basis and technical reserves for solid control and offers an effective approach to enhance tubing cleaning in deviated strings.

文摘Motivated to understand the pressure-buildup characteristics in a circumstance of a water droplet immerged inside a heavy liquid metal pool,which is a key phenomenon during a Steam Generator Tube Rupture accident of Lead-cooled Fast Reactor,many experiments have been conducted by injecting water lumps into a molten lead pool at Sun Yat-sen University.In order to deepen the understanding of the influence of melt material,this lead experiment was compared with a Lead-Bismuth-Eutectic(LBE)experiment in the literature.For both experiments,a steam explosion occurred in a small part of the experi-mental runs,which generally leads to strengthened pressure buildup.Regarding the non-explosion experimental cases,the impact of all parameters employed in lead experiments(i.e.,water lump volume,water lump shape,molten pool depth,and temperature of water and melt)on the pressure buildup is non-negligible and similar to that in our previous experiments using LBE.Notably,limited pressure buildup with an increase in water lump volume was also observed.A slightly more violent pressure buildup tends to appear in the lead experiments than in the LBE experiments under the same experimental conditions,which may be due to the higher thermal conductivity of lead than of LBE.In a few experimental runs with a relatively low melt temperature close to the melting point of lead,local solidification of liquid lead was observed,restricting pressure buildup.For the lead and LBE experiments,the calculated melt kinetic energy conversion efficiencyηhas a relatively small value(not exceeding 1.6%),and theηvalues have an overall positive correlation with the impulse on the molten pool.
