The impacts on the bonding property of such parameters as the temperature, concrete strength, the relative concrete cover thickness, and the relative anchorage length were analyzed. The test results indicate that the changes in temperature have a clear effect on the bonding property between steel strand and concrete. As the temperature decreases, the bond stress, which corresponds to a 1 mm slip of steel strand in relation to concrete, and the ultimate bond strength initially increase and subsequently decrease at the inflection point of-80 ℃. The impact of the concrete strength on the bonding property, as shown by the tensile strength and the moisture content interaction, indicates that the bond stress vs concrete strength curve initially increases and later decreases with a decrease in temperature; the bond stress vs concrete cover thickness curve linearly increases, but the bond stress vs anchorage length curve linearly decreases at first and finally levels off.展开更多

As we c...The Ag clusters have been investigated widely theoretically and experimentally. In particular, it has recently shown that the neutral Ag8 clusters embedded in an argon matrix have a strong fluorescence signal. As we can know, the metal clusters may have important effects on the structures and properties of biomolecules. More and more attention is paid to the interaction between nanomaterials and biomolecules. In this work, the B3LYP method in density functional theory was used on the complexes between the 6-mercaptopurine（6MP） and Ag8 clusters combined with 6-311＋＋G＊＊ as well as LANL2DZ base sets. The geometries of all the complexes were optimized with full degree of freedom and the structures, chemical bonds, orbital properties as well as Mulliken charges for ten possible complexes were analyzed based on the same theory level. In addition, the influence of temperature and pressure on the stabilities of the four complexes was further explored using standard statistical thermodynamic methods ranging from 50 to 500 K and at 100 kPa or 100 bar. The results show that the complex Ag8-6 MP-7-5 can be the most stable one among the investigated complexes, in which the Ag（11） atom interacts with the S（10） atom forming the strong chemical bond. The Mulliken charges also show that the Ag–S chemical bond is formed and the related charge has transferred. Additionally, the temperature and pressure can significantly influence the stability of the four stable complexes.展开更多

Evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of ARB-processed Mg-5Li-1Al sheets was investigated. Results show that, during ARB process, the evolution of deformation mechanism oft Mg-5Li-1Al alloy is as follows： twinning deformation, shear deformation, forming macro shear zone, and finally dynamic recrystallization （DRX）. The grain refining mechanism changes from twin DRX to rotation DRX. With the increase in ARB cycles, strength of the Mg-5Li-1Al sheets is enhanced, whilst elongation varies slightly. With the increase in rolling cycles, anisotropy of mechanical properties decreases. It is conclusive that strain hardening and grain refinement dominate the strengthening mechanism of Mg-5Li-1Al alloy.展开更多

The interface characteristics and mechanical properties of joints were examined, and the evolution of interracial void morphology was analyzed in detail The results showed that there were four typical interfacial void shapes generating sequentially： the large scraggly voids, penny-shaped voids, ellipse voids and rounded voids. The variation of interracial void shape was dominated by surface diffusion, while the reduction of void volume was ascribed to the combined effects of plastic flow of materials around voids, interface diffusion and volume diffusion. Owing to the elimination of void from the bonding interface, the sound joint obtained could exhibit nearly full interracial contact, and present excellent mechanical properties, in which the microhardness and shear strength of joint matched those of base material.展开更多

文摘Current research on the fabrication of rolled composite plates primarily focuses on processing and bonding mechanisms.Compared with hot-rolling technology,the electrically assisted rolling process has demonstrated excellent performance in interfacial bonding effects.However,the influence of different current loading modes on the interfacial recombination process of composite panels varies significantly.In this study,low-frequency electrically assisted rolling was used in the first pass to pre-bond a composite plate at a low reduction rate of 15%.High-frequency electrically assisted rolling was used during the second pass,and Al/Mg alloy composite plates were obtained.The interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite plate were coordinated regulation by designing the rolling reduction rate.The results showed the interfacial morphology of the alternating distribution of the melt-diffusion layer,diffusion layer,and the formation of a new Al/Mg bonding interface.At the melt-diffusion interface,the irregular intermetallic compounds(IMCs)and the new Al/Mg bonding interface were alternately distributed,and the IMCs contained theα-Mg,Mg17Al12,and Mg2Al3 phases.In addition,an extremely high shear strength of 78.26 MPa was achieved.Adhesion of the Mg alloy matrix was observed on the fracture surface of the Al alloy side.The high shear strength was mainly attributed to the formation of a unique interfacial structure and the appearance of a melt-diffusion layer.Compared to the diffusion-reduction interface,the regular rectangular IMCs and the new Al/Mg bonding interface were alternately distributed,and the IMCs consisted of the Mg17Al12 and Mg2Al3 phases.The shear test results showed that the shear strength of the interface reached 68.69 MPa,and a regular distribution of the Mg alloy matrix with dimples and the Al alloy matrix with a necking zone was observed on the fracture surface of the Al side.Tensile strength test results revealed a maximum value of 316.86 MPa for the Al/Mg alloy composite plate.The tensile and interfacial bonding strengths can be synchronously enhanced by coordinating the regulation of the interfacial structure.This study proposes a new electrically assisted rolling technology that is useful for the fabrication of composite plates with excellent mechanical properties.

文摘The Ag clusters have been investigated widely theoretically and experimentally. In particular, it has recently shown that the neutral Ag8 clusters embedded in an argon matrix have a strong fluorescence signal. As we can know, the metal clusters may have important effects on the structures and properties of biomolecules. More and more attention is paid to the interaction between nanomaterials and biomolecules. In this work, the B3LYP method in density functional theory was used on the complexes between the 6-mercaptopurine（6MP） and Ag8 clusters combined with 6-311＋＋G＊＊ as well as LANL2DZ base sets. The geometries of all the complexes were optimized with full degree of freedom and the structures, chemical bonds, orbital properties as well as Mulliken charges for ten possible complexes were analyzed based on the same theory level. In addition, the influence of temperature and pressure on the stabilities of the four complexes was further explored using standard statistical thermodynamic methods ranging from 50 to 500 K and at 100 kPa or 100 bar. The results show that the complex Ag8-6 MP-7-5 can be the most stable one among the investigated complexes, in which the Ag（11） atom interacts with the S（10） atom forming the strong chemical bond. The Mulliken charges also show that the Ag–S chemical bond is formed and the related charge has transferred. Additionally, the temperature and pressure can significantly influence the stability of the four stable complexes.

文摘In this paper,the specimens of polymer-cement composites after 1 d,7 d,15 d,and 30 d aging without aging and UV aging are subjected to fixed extension test and tensile test.By observing the mode of the composite in the fixed-elongation test,and measuring the elastic recovery rate,tensile strength,elongation at break,peak tensile strain,tensile toughness and pre-peak tensile toughness of the composite,the effects of UV aging on the bonding and the tensile properties of the composite were studied.And combining with scanning electron microscopy experiments,the micro-mechanism of the effect of ultraviolet aging on the properties of composite was analyzed.The results showed that the composite had a good bonding property,and no damage was observed after UV aging for 30 days.The UV aging increased the elastic recovery rate and peak tensile within a certain range.The elastic recovery rate and peak tensile strain of the composite increased by 6.60%and 23.55%respectively after UV aging for 15 days.Therefore,the UV aging could enhance the tensile property and the tensile energy consumption performance of the composite.The tensile strength of the composite increased by 65.36%after UV aging for 30 days.The tensile toughness and pre-peak tensile toughness of the composite were increased by 43.29%and 101.83%respectively after UV aging for 15 days.The elongation at break of composite decreased continuously after UV aging due to the photo-oxygen reaction,as well as secondary hydration reaction and cross-linking curing reaction of cement.

文摘The effects of the reduction rate of the corrugated rolling on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TA1/TC4 composite plate that was prepared via corrugated rolling+flat rolling process were investigated.The finite element model was developed and validated for the corrugated rolling process of the composite plate.Experimental findings reveal the absence of significant defects and intermetallic compounds at the bonding interface.When the rolling temperature is 700℃with the reduction rate of 44%in the first pass of corrugated rolling,the tensile and interfacial shear strengths of the composite plate reach 749 and 403.97 MPa,respectively.The simulation results demonstrate that the plastic strain in the TC4 substrate is enhanced by corrugated rolling and the compressive stress at the trough is high.These results confirm that interfacial bonding is promoted by corrugated rolling,and the mechanical properties of the composite plate are improved significantly with the increase of reduction rate.

文摘In the case of valuable cold-rolled Cu/Al clad plates,billet surface treatment before rolling is a significant process that can affect the bonding efficiency and quality.While the current studies primarily focus on the influence of rolling parameters,insufficient attention has been paid to surface treatment.In this study,the effects of mechanical surface treatment on the bonding mechanism and bonding properties of cold-rolled Cu/Al clad plates were investigated.The results showed that different mechanical surface treatments have significant effects on the surface morphology,roughness,and residual stress.In addition,the effect of surface mechanical treatment on bonding quality was also observed to be critical.When the grinding direction was consistent with the rolling direction(RD),the bonding quality of the Cu/Al clad plates was significantly improved.After surface treatment along the RD for 20 s,the Cu/Al clad plates showed the highest shear strength(78 MPa),approximately four times as high as that of the unpolished samples.Simultaneously,the peel strength of this process was also significantly higher than that achieved via the other processes.Finally,on the basis of the surface morphology,roughness,and residual stress,the effect of surface treatment on the bonding mechanism and bonding properties of Cu/Al clad plates was analyzed.This study proposes a deeper understanding of the bonding behavior and bonding mechanism for cold rolled clad plates processed via mechanical surface treatment.

文摘Ultrafine-grain and high-strength Mg-SLi-1Al sheets were prepared by accumulative roll bonding （ARB） process. Evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of ARB-processed Mg-5Li-1Al sheets was investigated. Results show that, during ARB process, the evolution of deformation mechanism oft Mg-5Li-1Al alloy is as follows： twinning deformation, shear deformation, forming macro shear zone, and finally dynamic recrystallization （DRX）. The grain refining mechanism changes from twin DRX to rotation DRX. With the increase in ARB cycles, strength of the Mg-5Li-1Al sheets is enhanced, whilst elongation varies slightly. With the increase in rolling cycles, anisotropy of mechanical properties decreases. It is conclusive that strain hardening and grain refinement dominate the strengthening mechanism of Mg-5Li-1Al alloy.
文摘Accumulative press bonding（APB） is a novel variant of severe plastic deformation processes,which is devised to produce materials with ultra-fine grain.In the present work,the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of AA1100 alloy,which is produced by APB technique,were investigated.The study of the microstructure of AA1100 alloy was performed by optical microscopy.The results revealed that the grain size of the samples decreased to 950 nm after six passes of APB process.The yield strength of AA1100 alloy after six passes of the process increased up to 264 MPa,which is three times higher than that of the as-cast material（89 MPa）.After six passes,microhardness values of AA1100 alloy increased from 38 to 61 HV.Furthermore,the results showed that the behavior of variations in mechanical properties is in accordance with the microstructural changes and it can be justified by using the Hall-Patch equation.Moreover,the rise in the yield strength can be attributed to the reduction in the grain size leading to the strain hardening.

文摘In this work,a vibration was applied in the preparation of the Mg/Al bimetal by a novel compound casting in order to improve the mechanical properties of the Mg/Al bimetal,and the effect of the vibration on the interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the Mg/Al bimetal was investigated.The results indicated that the vibration had a significant effect on the interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the Mg/Al bimetal,but it did not change the phase compositions of the interface,which was composed of layerⅠ(Al3Mg2+Mg2Si),layerⅡ(Al_(12)Mg_(17)+Mg_(2)Si)and layerⅢ(Al_(12)Mg_(17)/δ-Mg).Without vibration,the Mg_(2)Si phase with a needle-like morphology mainly aggregated in the layerⅡof the interface.After the application of the vibration,the SEM and EBSD analysis results showed that the Mg_(2)Si and Al3Mg2phases in the interface were obviously refined,and the distribution of the Mg_(2)Si became more uniform,due to the strong forced convection of the molten metal resulting from the vibration.The TEM analysis indicated that the interface between the A_(l3)Mg_(2) and Mg_(2)Si phases was non-coherent,suggesting the Mg_(2)Si particles cannot act as a heterogeneous nucleation base during the solidification process of the interface.Compared to the Mg/Al bimetal without vibration,the shear strength of the Mg/Al bimetal with vibration increased by about 50%from 31.7 MPa on average to 47.5 MPa,and the hardness of the layer I of the interface increased,and the hardness of the layerⅢdecreased.The fracture surface transformed from a flat fracture morphology without vibration to an irregular zigzag fracture morphology.

文摘Similar diffusion bonding of 1Cr11Ni2W2MoV stainless steel was conducted at different bonding tem- peratures. The interface characteristics and mechanical properties of joints were examined, and the evolution of interracial void morphology was analyzed in detail The results showed that there were four typical interfacial void shapes generating sequentially： the large scraggly voids, penny-shaped voids, ellipse voids and rounded voids. The variation of interracial void shape was dominated by surface diffusion, while the reduction of void volume was ascribed to the combined effects of plastic flow of materials around voids, interface diffusion and volume diffusion. Owing to the elimination of void from the bonding interface, the sound joint obtained could exhibit nearly full interracial contact, and present excellent mechanical properties, in which the microhardness and shear strength of joint matched those of base material.

文摘Influence of aluminum addition on the structures and properties of SiO_2-B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-CaO vitrified bond at low sintering temperature and high strength was discussed. FTIR and XRD analyses were used to characterize the structures of the basic vitrified bond with different contents of aluminum. The bending strength and the thermal expansion coefficients were also tested. Meanwhile, the microstructures of composite specimens at sintering temperature of 660 ℃ were observed by scanning electron microscope（SEM）.
