The thermal, mechanical, electrical and shape memory properties were investigated. The structural characterization and morphology of the polymer blends were inspected by Fourier transform infrared （FTIR） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, respectively. The 1 wt% of PANI loading enhanced the thermal stability of the system up to 339 ~C. According to differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, the glass transition temperature （Tg） and melting temperature （Tm） of PU/PANI blends increased with the polyaniline loading （0.1 wt%-l wt%）. Improved mechanical properties such as tensile strength and Young＇s modulus of PU matrix were also observed with PANI. Moreover, the electrical conductivity of PU/PANI blends was also found to be a function of PANI loading. Remarkable recoverability of thermally triggered shape memory （SM） behavior to the extent of 96% was achieved for 1 wt% PANI blend.展开更多

Activation of the cadmium precursor by octadecylamine was found to be critical for the formation of branched CdTe nanocrystals. Furthermore, these as-prepared CdTe nanocrystals can evolve into nearly monodisperse dots through Ostwald ripening and still keep strong photoluminescence. These results manifest a new route to synthesize branch- and dot-shaped CdTe nanocrystals with zinc blende structure.展开更多

The wing aerodynamic shape optimization problem is solved by dividing optimization into three steps—modeling 3D（high-fidelity） and 2D（lowfidelity） models, building global meta-models from prominent instead of all variables, and determining robust optimizing shape associated with tuning local meta-models. The adaptive robust design optimization aims to modify the shape optimization process. The sufficient infilling strategy—known as adaptive uniform infilling strategy—determines search space dimensions based on the last optimization results or initial point. Following this, 3D model simulations are used to tune local meta-models. Finally, the global optimization gradient-based method—Adaptive Filter Sequential Quadratic Programing（AFSQP） is utilized to search the neighborhood for a probable optimum point. The effectiveness of the proposed method is investigated by applying it, along with conventional optimization approach-based meta-models, to a Blended Wing Body（BWB） Unmanned Aerial Vehicle（UAV）. The drag coefficient is defined as the objective function, which is subjected to minimum lift coefficient bounds and stability constraints. The simulation results indicate improvement in meta-model accuracy and reduction in computational time of the method introduced in this paper.展开更多

A curvedshape is represented by a closed Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline(NURBS). We determine the inter-mediate shapes by interpolating the intrinsic definitions of the initial and final control polygons. Thisalgorithm can avoid shrinkage resulted from linear vertex interpolation and produce smcoth intermedi-ate shapes. Aliasing problems can also be easily eliminated.展开更多

Several methods are evaluated in ANSYS CFX, including Scale-Adaptive Simulation (SAS), Shielded Detached Eddy Simulation (SDES), Stress-Blended Eddy Simulation (SBES), and Zonal Large Eddy Simulation (ZLES), along with a no-model laminar simulation. Each is used to simulate an adiabatic flat plate film cooling experiment of a shaped hole at low Reynolds number. Adiabatic effectiveness is calculated for Blowing Ratio (BR) = 1.5 and Density Ratio (DR) = 1.5. The ZLES method and laminar simulation most accurately match experimental lateral-average adiabatic effectiveness along the streamwise direction from the trailing edge of the hole to 35 hole diameters downstream of the hole (X/D = 0 to X/D = 35), with RMS deviations of 5.1% and 4.2%, and maximum deviations of 8% and 11%, respectively. The accuracy of these models is attributed to the resolution of turbulent structures in not only the mixing region but in the upstream boundary layer as well, where the other methods utilize RANS and do not switch to LES.展开更多
