Key techniques of the method including the ground structure construction and seed selection are studied, so as to make it possible to improve the effectiveness and applicability of the adaptive growth method in stiffener layout design optimization of plates and shells. Three schemes of ground structures, which are comprised by different shell elements and beam elements, are proposed. It is found that the main stiffener layouts resulted from different ground structures are almost the same, but the ground structure comprised by 8-nodes shell elements and both 3-nodes and 2-nodes beam elements can result in clearest stiffener layout, and has good adaptability and low computational cost. An automatic seed selection approach is proposed, which is based on such selection rules that the seeds should be positioned on where the structural strain energy is great for the minimum compliance problem, and satisfy the dispersancy requirement. The adaptive growth method with the suggested key techniques is integrated into an ANSYS-based program, which provides a design tool for the stiffener layout design optimization of plates and shells. Typical design examples, including plate and shell structures to achieve minimum compliance and maximum bulking stability are illustrated. In addition, as a practical mechanical structural design example, the stiffener layout of an inlet structure for a large-scale electrostatic precipitator is also demonstrated. The design results show that the adaptive growth method integrated with the suggested key techniques can effectively and flexibly deal with stiffener layout design problem for plates and shells with complex geometrical shape and loading conditions to achieve various design objectives, thus it provides a new solution method for engineering structural topology design optimization.展开更多

TiNbZr alloy specimens were first oxidized at 500 ℃ for 2 h in the air. Then, they were immersed in 40 ℃ saturated NazHPO4 solution for 15 h and 25 ℃ saturated Ca （OH）2 solution for 8 h in turn for pre-calcification. The pre-calcified specimens were immersed in modified simulated body fluid up to 15 d for biomimetic growth. After common oxidization, amorphous titania and anatase were detected on the specimen surface. Except for the substantial amount of calcium and phosphorus, no new phase appeared on the pre-calcified specimens. After the coating process, it was found that the （002） orientation was the preferred orientation during the growing period of hydroxyapatite. The inorganic composition and structure of the coating are very similar to those of human thigh bone, which will be advantageous for its application as biomedical material.展开更多

This study focused on bacterial growth dynamics in the series dilution of water samples with TOC（total organic carbon） values determined beforehand. The results showed that the specific growth rate of Pseudomonas fluorescens P17 varied dramatically and irregularly with TOC value when TOC concentrations were low enough during the initial periods of incubation under given conditions. According to this relationship between bacterial growth rate and TOC, a dilution incubation method was designed for the study of water biostability. With the method under a given condition, a turning-point TOC value was found at a relatively fixed point in the curve between bacterial growth rate and TOC of water sample, and the variation of growth rate had different characteristics below the turning-point TOC value relative to that over this value. A turning-point TOC value similarly existed in all experiments not only with tap water, but also with acetate and mixed solutions. And in the dilution incubation method study, the affections were analyzed by condition factors such as inoculum amount,incubation time and nature of the organic carbon source. In very low organic carbon water environments, the variation characteristics of bacterial growth rate will be useful to further understand the meaning of water biostability.展开更多

文摘We report the synthesis of gold nanorods （NRs） by seed-mediated growth method. A small amount of different shapes such as triangles, hexagons and a large amount of rods are obtained by varying the proportion of seed to metal salt, adding NaOH to growth solution as well as using the seed solution of CTAB-capped agent. The gold nanorod （NR） formation yield is improved. Meanwhile, the growth mechanism of high yield gold NRs is discussed. The high quality single size NRs can be separated from polydisperse samples using surfactant-assisted nanorod self-assembly. The gold NRs synthesized were characterized by transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and UV-vis spectroscopy.

文摘AgCl/Ti_(3)C_(2)@TiO_(2)ternary composites were prepared to form a heterojunction structure between AgCl and TiO_(2)and introduce Ti3C2 as a cocatalyst.The as-prepared AgCl/Ti_(3)C_(2)@TiO_(2)composites showed higher photocatalytic activity than pure AgCl and Ti_(3)C_(2)@TiO_(2)for photooxidation of a 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative(1,4-DHP)and tetracycline hydrochloride(TCH)under visible light irradiation(λ>400 nm).The photocatalytic activity of AgCl/Ti_(3)C_(2)@TiO_(2)composites depended on Ti_(3)C_(2)@TiO_(2)content,and the catalytic activity of the optimized samples were 6.9 times higher than that of pure AgCl for 1,4-DHP photodehydrogenation and 7.3 times higher than that of Ti_(3)C_(2)@TiO_(2)for TCH photooxidation.The increased photocatalytic activity was due to the formation of a heterojunction structure between AgCl and TiO_(2)and the introduction of Ti3C2 as a cocatalyst,which lowered the internal resistance,sped up the charge transfer,and increased the separation efficiency of photogenerated carries.Photogenerated holes and superoxide radical anions were the major active species in the photocatalytic process.
文摘In this paper,ferroelectric tetragonal tungsten bronze type potassium lithium niobate(KLN)crystal with a size of 20mm×8mm×43mm was grown from a melt with a composition of 32mol% K 2CO 3,24mol% Li 2CO 3 and 44mol% Nb 2O 5 by the top seeded solution growth (TSSG)method.The KLN crystal as grown along [110]axis has a perfect crystal melt interface dominated by {110} and {210} facets.Lattice constants were measured by X ray diffraction (XRD) analysis performed on {001}and {110}natural faces of single crystal samples.The anisotropic thermal expansion behavior of the crystal was also studied along [001] and [110] axes,respectively by using a Shimadzu TMA 50 thermomechnical analyzer.For the purpose of crystal poling,the dependence of crystal capacitance vs.temperature in both heating and cooling cycles was measured and the ferroelectric Curie temperature was determined to be 514℃.The crystal was poled at 506℃ with a dc field of about 250 V/cm along the c axis of the sample,for a time corresponding to about 1.5 h/cm.The blue second harmonic generation (SHG)characteristics of the KLN crystal were investigated by using a 3900s Ti∶sapphire CW tunable laser.Blue laser light at wavelength 432nm was obtained by the non critical phase matching (NCPM)SHG at room temperature.Based on the wavelength and temperature tuning curves for the NCPM SHG,the wavelength acceptance and temperature acceptance of this KLN crystal were measured.The crystal property homogeneity along the <110>growth axis was also studied by measuring the room temperature NCPM wavelength at different growth positions.

文摘Water biostability is of particular concern to water supply as a major limiting factor for heterotrophic bacterial growth in water distribution systems. This study focused on bacterial growth dynamics in the series dilution of water samples with TOC（total organic carbon） values determined beforehand. The results showed that the specific growth rate of Pseudomonas fluorescens P17 varied dramatically and irregularly with TOC value when TOC concentrations were low enough during the initial periods of incubation under given conditions. According to this relationship between bacterial growth rate and TOC, a dilution incubation method was designed for the study of water biostability. With the method under a given condition, a turning-point TOC value was found at a relatively fixed point in the curve between bacterial growth rate and TOC of water sample, and the variation of growth rate had different characteristics below the turning-point TOC value relative to that over this value. A turning-point TOC value similarly existed in all experiments not only with tap water, but also with acetate and mixed solutions. And in the dilution incubation method study, the affections were analyzed by condition factors such as inoculum amount,incubation time and nature of the organic carbon source. In very low organic carbon water environments, the variation characteristics of bacterial growth rate will be useful to further understand the meaning of water biostability.

文摘Lead halide perovskites have attracted extensive attention in recent years because of their excellent photoelectronic properties,such as high absorption coefficients,carrier mobilities,defect tolerances,and photoluminescence efficiencies.However,a key issue hindering their commercial application is the toxicity of lead.Replacing lead with other nontoxic elements is a promising solution to this problem.Considering their atomic radii,relative atomic masses,and electron arrangements,perovskites based on Sn,Bi,Sb,and other elements instead of Pb have been widely synthesized.Here,we summarized the growth methods,photoelectric properties,and device applications of these lead-free perovskites.First,we introduced several common growth methods for lead-free perovskites,including solution methods,solid-state reaction,and chemical vapor deposition methods.Second,we discussed the photoelectric properties and methods for optimizing these properties of lead-free perovskites with different structure dimensions.Finally,the applications of lead-free perovskites in solar cells,light-emitting diodes,and X-ray detectors were examined.This review also provides suggestions for future research on lead-free perovskites.
