Therefore, accurately predicting multi-hazard dynamic responses to super high-rise structures has significant engineering and scientific value. This study performed a parametric global sensitivity analysis (GSA) for multi-hazard dynamic response prediction of super high-rise structures using the multiple-degree-of-freedom shear (MFS) model. Polynomial chaos Kriging (PCK) was introduced to build a surrogate model that allowed GSA to be combined with Sobol’ indices. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is also conducted for the comparison to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the PCK method. Parametric sensitivity analysis is performed for a wide range of aleatory uncertainty (intensities of coupled multi-hazard), epistemic uncertainty (bending stiffness, k_(m);shear stiffness, kq;density, ρ;and damping ratio, ξ), probability distribution types, and coefficients of variation. The results indicate that epistemic uncertainty parameters, k_(m), ρ, and ξ dramatically affect the multi-hazard dynamic responses of super high-rise structures;in addition, Sobol’ indices between the normal and lognormal distributions are insignificant, while the variation levels have remarkably influenced the sensitivity indices.展开更多

The results showed that the 7.5 mm-thick foam sample, which was formed by piling of 5-layer foam plate（thickness： 1.5 mm; porosity： 96%; average pore-diameter： 0.65 mm） could exhibit an excellent sound absorption effect at 4000 Hz, with the absorption coefficient about 0.8. Constituting alternate air gap with the total thickness of about 18.5 mm can greatly improve the absorption performance at relatively low frequencies of 2000-3150 Hz, with the absorption coefficient up to about 0.5 or more. In addition, the research showed that alternate piling up the perforated plate inside the foam plates can also achieve a quite good effect of sound absorption at relatively low frequencies.展开更多

The results show that with the decrease of quenching rate from 960 ℃/s to 2 ℃/s, the hardness after aging is decreased by about 33% for the homogenized and solution heat treated alloy（H-alloy） with large equiaxed grains and about 43% for the extruded and solution heat treated alloy（E-alloy） with elongated grains and subgrains. Cr-containing dispersoids make contribution to about 33% decrement in hardness of the H-alloy due to slow quenching; while in the E-alloy, the amount of（sub） grain boundaries is increased by about one order of magnitude, which leads to a further 10% decrement in hardness due to slow quenching and therefore higher quench sensitivity.展开更多

The results indicate that iron (Fe) and silicon (Si) are the primary mineral elements of the envelopes. Composition of mineral elements was uncorrelated with envelope color, however, it was highly correlated with the microarchitecture of the envelopes. Content of Si was higher than that of Fe in all species of Strombomonas and some species of Trachelomonas with rough surface. In most species of Trachelomonas, especially those with dense and smoothy surface, content of Fe was higher than that of Si. Based on the above results, we propose to assign those species of Strombomonas into Trachelomonas and consider them as a group of the latter. These species were the most primitive among the group with envelopes in Euglenaceae.展开更多

The result shows that with decreasing prior austenite grain size, both the packet size and block width decrease, while the lath width has virtually no change. Accordingly, both strength and toughness increase, while total elongation decreases. The yield strength has a Hall Petch type relationship with the prior austenite grain size, packet size and block width, and the block width may be regarded as a key factor influencing strength. On the other hand, the ductile to brittle transition temperature （DBTT） is found to be more related lo the packet size, which may be considered as a dominant factor influencing toughness.展开更多

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite-element model is established for a highway bridge over a railway on No.312 National Highway and the ambient test is carried out in site, the dynamic characteristics of the bridge are studied using the finite-element analysis and ambient vibration measurements. Comparison between the theoretical and experimental results shows that the frequency differences of the modes range between 0.44% and 8.77%. If the measurement is more reliable, the finite element model updating is necessary. Thus, a set of design variables is selected based on sensitivity analysis, then the finite element model of the bridge is updated based on optimization algorithm. The results of model updating show that the proposed updating method in this paper is more simple and effective, the updated finite element model can reflect the dynamic characteristics of the bridge better, the analytical results can provide the theoretical basis for damage identification and health condition monitoring of the bridge.展开更多

An andosol soft sample and artificial soil samples （SiO2 blended with iron （Ⅲ） hydroxide and manganese （Ⅳ） oxide） were used herein. After adding antimony （Ⅲ） oxide to all soil samples, the oxidation process was observed by recording the XAFS spectra of Sb K-edge, Fe Kedge, and Mn K-edge. The results indicated that manganese （Ⅳ） oxide played an important role in the oxidation of Sb（Ⅲ）; however iron （Ⅲ） hydroxide was not directly related to the reaction. During a 2-hr continuous Sb K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure （XANES） measurement with an interval of I rain of one of the artificial soil samples （SiO2 ＋ MnO2 ＋ Sb2O3）, a pseudo-first-order reaction was determined with an average estimated rate of 0.52 ±0.04 hr-1. Compared to the lower oxidation rate of andosol, it is suggested that because of the low concentration of Mn（Ⅳ） in natural soils, the oxidation process of Sb（Ⅲ） might be relatively slow and require more time to convert Sb（Ⅲ） to Sb（V）.展开更多

Results show that at a given lamellar spacing 1% Nb(mole fraction) with 1% Ta and replacing 0.2% Ta with 0.2% W induced little effect, but addition of 0.3% Si decreased the creep resistance by a factor of 3～4 under otherwise identical conditions. These different effects of different alloying elements are interpreted in terms of the interaction of alloy segregants with misfit and/or misorientaion dislocations at the lamellar interface. That is, the interaction retards or facilitates the climb of interfacial dislocations, which is rate controlling during creep, depending on the size of the segregants relative to the host atoms.展开更多

The structural optimization of air filter is often based on the bench experiment, which has high implementation cost and poor performance. In view of this, taking computational fluid dynamics(CFD) as the basic technical means, an optimization design method based on parametric sensitivity combined with equidistant search was proposed. Specifically, the sensitivity of local structure parameters to pressure loss was analyzed by taking local structure of air filter as the object. According to the sensitivity, the method of equidistant search was used to optimize the parameters in order, so as to achieve the goal of overall optimization. After optimization, the pressure loss decreased by 45.13% and the effect was remarkable.展开更多

Based on the homogenization method, the topology optimization is carried out for the main supporting frame of service module under given constraints and load conditions, and then the sensitivity analysis is made of 15 structural size parameters of the whole satellite and the optimal sizes are obtained. The numerical result shows that the present optimization design method is very effective.展开更多

文摘A new coordination complex [Cu（IMI）4]（PA）2 had been synthesized with imidazole（IMI） as ligands and picrate（PA-） groups as outer anions,and characterized by Fourier transform infrared（FTIR） spectrum and elemental analysis.Its crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction（XRD） analysis.The crystallographic data show that the crystal belongs to monoclinic,C2/c space group,a=2.542（5） nm,b=0.91773（18） nm,c=1.3778（3） nm,β=107.854（3）° and Z=4.Furthermore,the central copper（II） ion is coordinated by four N atoms from four imidazole ligands.All the molecular units are linked into a zigzag pattern along a-axis by the hydrogen bonds,and extended to the distance regularly.Thermal decomposition mechanisms were determined based on differential scanning calorimetry（DSC） and thermogravimetry-differential thermogravimetry（TG-DTG） analysis,and kinetic parameters of the first exothermic process were studied using Kissinger＇s and Ozawa-Doyle＇s method,respectively.Sensitivity tests show that the title complex has low sensitivity to external stimulus,but it has a higher energy of combustion of 14.2 kJ/g due to which it may be used as the additives of energetic materials to improve the explosive performance.

文摘The sensitive area of targeted observations for short-term(7 d)prediction of vertical thermal structure(VTS)in summer in the Yellow Sea was investigated.We applied the Conditional Nonlinear Optimal Perturbation(CNOP)method and an adjoint-free algorithm with the Regional Ocean Modeling System(ROMS).We used vertical integration of CNOP-type temperature errors to locate the sensitive areas,where reduction of initial errors is expected to yield the greatest improvement in VTS prediction for the selected verification area.The identified sensitive areas were northeast−southwest orientated northeast to the verification area,which were possibly related to the southwestward background currents.Then,we performed a series of sensitivity experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of the identified sensitive areas.Results show that initial errors in the identified sensitive areas had the greatest negative effect on VTS prediction in the verification area compared to errors in other areas(e.g.,the verification area and areas to its east and northeast).Moreover,removal of initial errors through deploying simulated observations in the identified sensitive areas led to more refined prediction than correction of initial conditions in the verification area itself.Our results suggest that implementation of targeted observation in the CNOP-based sensitive areas is an effective method to improve short-term prediction of VTS in summer in the Yellow Sea.

文摘Using the three-dimensional reticular nickel foam as experimental material, the sound absorption performance was investigated for several various multilayer structures in the frequency range of 2000-4000 Hz, which is aurally sensitive for human ears. The results showed that the 7.5 mm-thick foam sample, which was formed by piling of 5-layer foam plate（thickness： 1.5 mm; porosity： 96%; average pore-diameter： 0.65 mm） could exhibit an excellent sound absorption effect at 4000 Hz, with the absorption coefficient about 0.8. Constituting alternate air gap with the total thickness of about 18.5 mm can greatly improve the absorption performance at relatively low frequencies of 2000-3150 Hz, with the absorption coefficient up to about 0.5 or more. In addition, the research showed that alternate piling up the perforated plate inside the foam plates can also achieve a quite good effect of sound absorption at relatively low frequencies.

文摘The effect of grain structure on quench sensitivity of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Cr alloy was investigated by hardness testing, optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy. The results show that with the decrease of quenching rate from 960 ℃/s to 2 ℃/s, the hardness after aging is decreased by about 33% for the homogenized and solution heat treated alloy（H-alloy） with large equiaxed grains and about 43% for the extruded and solution heat treated alloy（E-alloy） with elongated grains and subgrains. Cr-containing dispersoids make contribution to about 33% decrement in hardness of the H-alloy due to slow quenching; while in the E-alloy, the amount of（sub） grain boundaries is increased by about one order of magnitude, which leads to a further 10% decrement in hardness due to slow quenching and therefore higher quench sensitivity.
文摘Fine structure and elemental composition of envelopes of 10 taxa of Trachelomonas and Strombomonas from natural freshwater bodies in China were studied and phylogeny of both genera were discussed. The results indicate that iron (Fe) and silicon (Si) are the primary mineral elements of the envelopes. Composition of mineral elements was uncorrelated with envelope color, however, it was highly correlated with the microarchitecture of the envelopes. Content of Si was higher than that of Fe in all species of Strombomonas and some species of Trachelomonas with rough surface. In most species of Trachelomonas, especially those with dense and smoothy surface, content of Fe was higher than that of Si. Based on the above results, we propose to assign those species of Strombomonas into Trachelomonas and consider them as a group of the latter. These species were the most primitive among the group with envelopes in Euglenaceae.
文摘Spiky spherical nickel powder with sharp nano-tips on its surface is a kind of excellent fillers for developing pressure-sensitive cement-based composites/sensors for traffic detection,structural health monitoring,and border and military security.The sharp nano-tips on the surface of spiky spherical nickel particles can induce field emission and tunneling effects,which leads to the ultrahigh pressure-sensitive responses of the cement-based composites.In this paper,we systematically introduce research on nanotip-induced ultrahigh pressure-sensitive cement-based composites/sensors,with attentions to their pressure-sensitive property and sensing mechanism,pressure-sensitive characteristic model,and smart structure system for traffic detection.

文摘An oblique detonation wave for a Mach 7 inlet flow over a long enough wedge of 30 turning angle is simulated numerically using Euler equation and one-step rection model.The fifth-order WENO scheme is adopted to capture the shock wave.The numerical results show that with the compression of the wedge wall the detonation wave front structure is divided into three sections：the ZND model-like strcuture,single-sided triple point structure and dual-headed triple point strucuture.The first structure is the smooth straight,and the second has the characteristic of the triple points propagating dowanstream only with the same velocity,while the dual-headed triple point structure is very complicated.The detonation waves facing upstream and downstream propagate with different velocities,in which the periodic collisions of the triple points cause the oscillation of the detonation wave front.This oscillation process has temporal and spatial periodicity.In addition,the triple point trace are recorded to obtain different cell structures in three sections.
文摘Implementation of an opposing jet in design of a hypersonic blunt body significantly modifies the external flowfield and yields a considerable reduction in the aerodynamic drag.This study aims to investigate the effects of flowfield modeling parameters of injection and freestream on the flow structure and aerodynamics of a blunt body with an opposing jet in hypersonic flow.Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)equations with a Shear Stress Transport(SST)turbulence model are employed to simulate the intricate jet flow interaction.Through utilizing a Non-Intrusive Polynomial Chaos(NIPC)method to construct surrogates,a functional relation is established between input modeling parameters and output flowfield and aerodynamic quantities in concern.Sobol indices in sensitivity analysis are introduced to represent the relative contribution of each parameter.It is found that variations in modeling parameters produce large variations in the flow structure and aerodynamics.The jet-to-freestream total-pressure ratio,jet Mach number,and freestream Mach number are the major contributors to variation in surface pressure,demonstrating an evident location-dependent behavior.The penetration length of injection,reattachment angle of the shear layer,and aerodynamic drag are also most sensitive to the three crucial parameters above.In comparison,the contributions of freestream temperature,freestream density,and jet total temperature are nearly negligible.
文摘An 1100 MPa grade ultra-high strength steel with different martensite fine structures, characterized by prior austenite grain size, martensite packet size, block width and lath width, was studied by various heat treatment processes. The result shows that with decreasing prior austenite grain size, both the packet size and block width decrease, while the lath width has virtually no change. Accordingly, both strength and toughness increase, while total elongation decreases. The yield strength has a Hall Petch type relationship with the prior austenite grain size, packet size and block width, and the block width may be regarded as a key factor influencing strength. On the other hand, the ductile to brittle transition temperature （DBTT） is found to be more related lo the packet size, which may be considered as a dominant factor influencing toughness.

文摘The dynamic characteristics of bridge structures, such as the natural frequencies, mode shapes and model damping ratio, are the basis of structural dynamic computation, seismic analysis, vibration control and structural health condition monitoring. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite-element model is established for a highway bridge over a railway on No.312 National Highway and the ambient test is carried out in site, the dynamic characteristics of the bridge are studied using the finite-element analysis and ambient vibration measurements. Comparison between the theoretical and experimental results shows that the frequency differences of the modes range between 0.44% and 8.77%. If the measurement is more reliable, the finite element model updating is necessary. Thus, a set of design variables is selected based on sensitivity analysis, then the finite element model of the bridge is updated based on optimization algorithm. The results of model updating show that the proposed updating method in this paper is more simple and effective, the updated finite element model can reflect the dynamic characteristics of the bridge better, the analytical results can provide the theoretical basis for damage identification and health condition monitoring of the bridge.

文摘The oxidation of antimony （Ⅲ） in soils was studied using X-ray absorption fine structure （XAFS） spectra. An andosol soft sample and artificial soil samples （SiO2 blended with iron （Ⅲ） hydroxide and manganese （Ⅳ） oxide） were used herein. After adding antimony （Ⅲ） oxide to all soil samples, the oxidation process was observed by recording the XAFS spectra of Sb K-edge, Fe Kedge, and Mn K-edge. The results indicated that manganese （Ⅳ） oxide played an important role in the oxidation of Sb（Ⅲ）; however iron （Ⅲ） hydroxide was not directly related to the reaction. During a 2-hr continuous Sb K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure （XANES） measurement with an interval of I rain of one of the artificial soil samples （SiO2 ＋ MnO2 ＋ Sb2O3）, a pseudo-first-order reaction was determined with an average estimated rate of 0.52 ±0.04 hr-1. Compared to the lower oxidation rate of andosol, it is suggested that because of the low concentration of Mn（Ⅳ） in natural soils, the oxidation process of Sb（Ⅲ） might be relatively slow and require more time to convert Sb（Ⅲ） to Sb（V）.
文摘Creep experiments have been conducted on five powder metallurgy TiAl alloys with fine grains (65～80 μm), fine lamellar spacings (0.1～0.16 μm), and different compositions [Ti 47Al(+Cr, Nb, Ta, W, Si)] at temperatures of 760 ℃ and 815 ℃ and stresses from 35 to 723 MPa. Results show that at a given lamellar spacing 1% Nb(mole fraction) with 1% Ta and replacing 0.2% Ta with 0.2% W induced little effect, but addition of 0.3% Si decreased the creep resistance by a factor of 3～4 under otherwise identical conditions. These different effects of different alloying elements are interpreted in terms of the interaction of alloy segregants with misfit and/or misorientaion dislocations at the lamellar interface. That is, the interaction retards or facilitates the climb of interfacial dislocations, which is rate controlling during creep, depending on the size of the segregants relative to the host atoms.

文摘As the supporting supplier of the main engine plant, the general air filter manufacturers have insufficient technical reserves. The structural optimization of air filter is often based on the bench experiment, which has high implementation cost and poor performance. In view of this, taking computational fluid dynamics(CFD) as the basic technical means, an optimization design method based on parametric sensitivity combined with equidistant search was proposed. Specifically, the sensitivity of local structure parameters to pressure loss was analyzed by taking local structure of air filter as the object. According to the sensitivity, the method of equidistant search was used to optimize the parameters in order, so as to achieve the goal of overall optimization. After optimization, the pressure loss decreased by 45.13% and the effect was remarkable.
文摘With the development of satellite structure technology, more and more design parameters will affect its structural performance. It is desirable to obtain an optimal structure design with a minimum weight, including optimal configuration and sizes. The present paper aims to describe an optimization analysis for a satellite structure, including topology optimization and size optimization. Based on the homogenization method, the topology optimization is carried out for the main supporting frame of service module under given constraints and load conditions, and then the sensitivity analysis is made of 15 structural size parameters of the whole satellite and the optimal sizes are obtained. The numerical result shows that the present optimization design method is very effective.
