The particles are subject to inelastic mutual collisions and obey Langevin equation between collisions. By Monte Carlo simulation we study the dynamic actions of the system. Far from the equilibrium, i.e., τ 〉〉 τe, the results of simulation indicate that the inhomogeneity of the system and the inelasticity of the particles have great influences on the dynamic properties of the system, and correspondingly the influence of the inhomogeneity is more significant.展开更多

The dispersive degree of the particle size distribution can be measured by a fractal dimension dr, and the smooth particles are constrained to move along a circle of length L, colliding inelastically with each other and thermalized by a viscosity heat bath. When the typical relaxation time τ of the driving Brownian process is longer than the mean collision time To, the system can reach a nonequilibrium steady state. The average energy of the system decays exponentially with time towards a stable asymptotic value, and the energy relaxation time τB to the steady state becomes shorter with increasing values of df. In the steady state, the spatial density distribution becomes more clusterized as df increases, which can be quantitatively characterized by statistical entropy of the system. Furthermore, the spatial correlation functions of density and velocities are found to be a power-law form for small separation distance of particles, and both of the correlations become stronger with the increase of df. Also, tile density clusterization is explained from the correlations.展开更多

The inhomogeneity of the particle size distribution is described by a fractal dimension D. The stationary state that the mixture reaches is the result of the balance between energy dissipation and energy injection. By molecular dynamics simulations, we have mainly studied how the inhomogeneity of the particle size distribution and the inelasticity of collisions influence the velocity distribution and distribution of interparticle spacing in the steady-state. The simulation results indicate that, in the inelasticity case, the velocity distribution strongly deviates from the Gaussian one and the system has a strong spatial clustering. Thus the inhomogeneity and the inelasticity have great effacts on the velocity distribution and distribution of interparticle spacing. The quantitative information of the non-Gaussian velocity distribution and that of clustering are respectively represented.展开更多

We have studied the nonequilibrium properties of the system by means of Monte Carlo method. When the typical relaxation time T of the Brownian process is greater than the mean collision time To, the energy evolution of the system exponentially decays, with a tendency to achieve a stable asymptotic value, and the system finally reaches a nonequilibrium steady state in which the velocity distribution strongly deviates from the Gaussian one. Three other aspects have also been studied for the steady state： the visualized change of the particle density, the entropy of the system and the correlations in the velocity of particles. And the results of simulations indicate that the system has strong spatial clustering; Furthermore, the influence of the inelasticity and inhomogeneity on dynamic behaviors have also been extensively investigated, especially the dependence of the entropy and the correlations in the velocity of particles on the restitute coefficient e and the fractal dimension D.展开更多

However, a creep damage theory model and numerical simulation method have not been proposed for the key materials(UNS N10003 alloy) in the TMSR. In this study, creep damage characterization of UNS N10003 alloy is investigated using the Norton creep law and Kachanov–Rabotnov(K–R) creep damage model. First, the creep experimental data of the UNS N10003 alloy at 650 °C were adopted to fit the material constants of the two models. Then, the creep damage behavior of the UNS N10003 alloy was analyzed and discussed under uniaxial and multi-axial stress states. The results indicated that the K–R creep damage model is more suitable for the UNS N10003 alloy than the Norton model. Finally, the numerical simulation method was developed by a user-defined UMAT subroutine and subsequently verified through a finite element analysis(FEA). The FEA results were in agreement with the theoretical solutions. This study provides an effective method for the inelastic creep damage analysis of the elevated temperature structure in the TMSR.展开更多

The eff ect of seismic intensity and ductility demand, on the eff ective periods, is investigated, and inelastic site amplifi cation is shown to be strongly correlated to the normalized eff ective period. Two non-dimensional parameters, analogous to the conventional site amplifi cation factors in codes, are defi ned to quantify the inelastic site amplifi cation. It is shown that the inelastic site amplifi cation factor (i.e. ratio of constant ductility spectral ordinates at soil site to those at rock outcrop) is able to represent the site eff ects more clearly, as compared to the inelastic site amplifi cation ratio (i.e. ratio of inelastic spectral ordinates at soil site to the corresponding elastic spectral ordinates at rock outcrop). Further, the peak in the amplifi cation factor corresponding to the eff ective site period diminishes rapidly with increasing ductility demand.展开更多

In this study an attempt is made to estimate residual displacements for elastic-perfectly-plastic single-degree-of-freedom oscillators with a given lateral strength ratio. It is observed in the case of a class of ground motions that there are no trends in the dependence of residual displacement on the temporal features of the ground motion, and thus any estimation of residual displacements should be carried out only in the statistical sense. Statistical estimation of residual displacement spectrum via normalization with respect to inelastic or elastic spectral displacements is considered, and it is found that normalization with respect to inelastic spectral displacements is preferable. Expressions for residual displacement spectra are proposed for both types of normalizations and for the givenlateral-strength-ratio type oscillators.展开更多

The recently developed endurance time (ET) method is another method that uses dynamic pushover excitations, i.e., endurance time acceleration function, to obtain results similar to those obtained by IDA or pushover methods with low computational cost and acceptable accuracy. This study proposes an improvement on the ET method by considering more restrictions for both the elastic and inelastic response spectra in the generation procedure, and by specifying a target duration. Four reinforced concrete frame structures with 4, 8, 12, and 16 stories are adopted to verify the accuracy of the improved method. Comparison of the results obtained by the proposed method, the ET method and the IDA method shows that the improved method has a higher accuracy than the ET method. For evaluation of structural responses under specifi c ground motion intensity, which is typically required in seismic design codes, the results obtained by the proposed method are compared with fi ve commonly used ground motion selection methods, and shows the proposed method provides acceptable accuracy for engineering applications.展开更多

文摘Due to their low symmetry in crystal structure,low elastic modulus(~45 GPa)and low yielding stress,magnesium(Mg)alloys exhibit strong inelastic behaviors during unloading.As more and more Mg alloys are developed,their unloading behaviors were less investigated,especially for rare-earth(RE)Mg alloys.In the current work,the unloading behaviors of the RE Mg alloy ZE10 sheet is carefully studied by both mechanical tests and crystal plasticity modeling.In terms of the stress-strain curves,the inelastic strain,the chord modulus,and the active deformation mechanisms,the substantial anisotropy and the loading path dependency of the unloading behaviors of ZE10 sheets are characterized.The inelastic strains are generally larger under compressive Loading-Un Loading(L-UL)than under tensile L-UL,along the transverse direction(TD)than along the rolling direction(RD)under tensile L-UL,and along RD than along TD under compressive L-UL.The basal slip,twinning and de-twinning are found to be responsible for the unloading behaviors of ZE10 sheets.

文摘We present a non-uniform granular system in one-dimensional case, whose granularity distribution has the fractal characteristic. The particles are subject to inelastic mutual collisions and obey Langevin equation between collisions. By Monte Carlo simulation we study the dynamic actions of the system. Far from the equilibrium, i.e., τ 〉〉 τe, the results of simulation indicate that the inhomogeneity of the system and the inelasticity of the particles have great influences on the dynamic properties of the system, and correspondingly the influence of the inhomogeneity is more significant.

文摘By Monte Carlo simulations, the effect of the dispersion of particle size distribution on the spatial density distributions and correlations of a quasi one-dimensional polydisperse granular gas with fractal size distribution is investigated in the same inelasticity. The dispersive degree of the particle size distribution can be measured by a fractal dimension dr, and the smooth particles are constrained to move along a circle of length L, colliding inelastically with each other and thermalized by a viscosity heat bath. When the typical relaxation time τ of the driving Brownian process is longer than the mean collision time To, the system can reach a nonequilibrium steady state. The average energy of the system decays exponentially with time towards a stable asymptotic value, and the energy relaxation time τB to the steady state becomes shorter with increasing values of df. In the steady state, the spatial density distribution becomes more clusterized as df increases, which can be quantitatively characterized by statistical entropy of the system. Furthermore, the spatial correlation functions of density and velocities are found to be a power-law form for small separation distance of particles, and both of the correlations become stronger with the increase of df. Also, tile density clusterization is explained from the correlations.

文摘We present a one-dimensional dynamic model of polydisperse granular mixture with the fractal characteristic of the particle size distribution, in which the particles are subject to inelastic mutual collisions and are driven by Gaussian white noise. The inhomogeneity of the particle size distribution is described by a fractal dimension D. The stationary state that the mixture reaches is the result of the balance between energy dissipation and energy injection. By molecular dynamics simulations, we have mainly studied how the inhomogeneity of the particle size distribution and the inelasticity of collisions influence the velocity distribution and distribution of interparticle spacing in the steady-state. The simulation results indicate that, in the inelasticity case, the velocity distribution strongly deviates from the Gaussian one and the system has a strong spatial clustering. Thus the inhomogeneity and the inelasticity have great effacts on the velocity distribution and distribution of interparticle spacing. The quantitative information of the non-Gaussian velocity distribution and that of clustering are respectively represented.

文摘We present a model of non-uniform granular gases in one-dimensional case, whose granularity distribution has the fractal characteristic. We have studied the nonequilibrium properties of the system by means of Monte Carlo method. When the typical relaxation time T of the Brownian process is greater than the mean collision time To, the energy evolution of the system exponentially decays, with a tendency to achieve a stable asymptotic value, and the system finally reaches a nonequilibrium steady state in which the velocity distribution strongly deviates from the Gaussian one. Three other aspects have also been studied for the steady state： the visualized change of the particle density, the entropy of the system and the correlations in the velocity of particles. And the results of simulations indicate that the system has strong spatial clustering; Furthermore, the influence of the inelasticity and inhomogeneity on dynamic behaviors have also been extensively investigated, especially the dependence of the entropy and the correlations in the velocity of particles on the restitute coefficient e and the fractal dimension D.

文摘The calculation of inelastic creep damage is important for the structural integrity evaluation of the elevated temperature structure in a thorium molten salt reactor(TMSR). However, a creep damage theory model and numerical simulation method have not been proposed for the key materials(UNS N10003 alloy) in the TMSR. In this study, creep damage characterization of UNS N10003 alloy is investigated using the Norton creep law and Kachanov–Rabotnov(K–R) creep damage model. First, the creep experimental data of the UNS N10003 alloy at 650 °C were adopted to fit the material constants of the two models. Then, the creep damage behavior of the UNS N10003 alloy was analyzed and discussed under uniaxial and multi-axial stress states. The results indicated that the K–R creep damage model is more suitable for the UNS N10003 alloy than the Norton model. Finally, the numerical simulation method was developed by a user-defined UMAT subroutine and subsequently verified through a finite element analysis(FEA). The FEA results were in agreement with the theoretical solutions. This study provides an effective method for the inelastic creep damage analysis of the elevated temperature structure in the TMSR.
文摘The available models for eff ective periods of site and structure are reviewed in context of frequency tuning in the inelastic seismic response of soil-structure system. The eff ect of seismic intensity and ductility demand, on the eff ective periods, is investigated, and inelastic site amplifi cation is shown to be strongly correlated to the normalized eff ective period. Two non-dimensional parameters, analogous to the conventional site amplifi cation factors in codes, are defi ned to quantify the inelastic site amplifi cation. It is shown that the inelastic site amplifi cation factor (i.e. ratio of constant ductility spectral ordinates at soil site to those at rock outcrop) is able to represent the site eff ects more clearly, as compared to the inelastic site amplifi cation ratio (i.e. ratio of inelastic spectral ordinates at soil site to the corresponding elastic spectral ordinates at rock outcrop). Further, the peak in the amplifi cation factor corresponding to the eff ective site period diminishes rapidly with increasing ductility demand.
文摘Structures undergoing inelastic displacements during earthquake ground motions are known to sustain some amount of residual displacements, which may make them unusable or unsafe. In this study an attempt is made to estimate residual displacements for elastic-perfectly-plastic single-degree-of-freedom oscillators with a given lateral strength ratio. It is observed in the case of a class of ground motions that there are no trends in the dependence of residual displacement on the temporal features of the ground motion, and thus any estimation of residual displacements should be carried out only in the statistical sense. Statistical estimation of residual displacement spectrum via normalization with respect to inelastic or elastic spectral displacements is considered, and it is found that normalization with respect to inelastic spectral displacements is preferable. Expressions for residual displacement spectra are proposed for both types of normalizations and for the givenlateral-strength-ratio type oscillators.

文摘Evaluation of structural performance under seismic excitations from low intensity to high intensity is essential to verify the seismic resistant capacity of a structure, and usually carried out by the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method or pushover method. The recently developed endurance time (ET) method is another method that uses dynamic pushover excitations, i.e., endurance time acceleration function, to obtain results similar to those obtained by IDA or pushover methods with low computational cost and acceptable accuracy. This study proposes an improvement on the ET method by considering more restrictions for both the elastic and inelastic response spectra in the generation procedure, and by specifying a target duration. Four reinforced concrete frame structures with 4, 8, 12, and 16 stories are adopted to verify the accuracy of the improved method. Comparison of the results obtained by the proposed method, the ET method and the IDA method shows that the improved method has a higher accuracy than the ET method. For evaluation of structural responses under specifi c ground motion intensity, which is typically required in seismic design codes, the results obtained by the proposed method are compared with fi ve commonly used ground motion selection methods, and shows the proposed method provides acceptable accuracy for engineering applications.

文摘High-entropy alloys are characteristic of extensive atomic occupational disorder on high-symmetric lattices,differing from traditional alloys.Here,we investigate the magnetic and thermal transport properties of the prototype face-centered-cubic high-entropy alloy CrMnFeCoNi by combining physical properties measurements and neutron scattering.Direct-current and alternating-current magnetizations measurements indicate a mictomagnetic behavior with coexisting antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interactions below room temperature and three anomalies are found at about 80,40,and 20 K,which are related to the paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition,the antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic transition,and the spin freezing,respectively.The electrical and thermal conductivities are significantly reduced compared to Ni,and the temperature dependence of lattice thermal conductivity exhibits a glasslike plateau.Inelastic neutron scattering measurements suggest weak anharmonicity so that the thermal transport is expected to be dominated by the defect scattering.

文摘This paper presents the results from shaking table tests of a one-tenth-scale reinforced concrete (RC) building model.The test model is a protype of a building that was seriously damaged during the 1985 Mexico earthquake.The input ground excitation used during the test was from the records obtained near the site of the prototype building during the 1985 and 1995 Mexico earthquakes.The tests showed that the damage pattern of the test model agreed well with that of the prototype building.Analytical prediction of earthquake response has been conducted for the prototype building using a sophisticated 3-D frame model.The input motion used for the dynamic analysis was the shaking table test measurements with similarity transformation.The comparison of the analytical results and the shaking table test results indicates that the response of the RC building to minor and the moderate earthquakes can be predicated well.However,there is difference between the predication and the actual response to the major earthquake.
