Contravariant second Piola-Kirchhoff stress and moment tensors, in conjunction with finite deformation measures derived by the authors in recent paper, are utilized in deriving the conservation and balance laws and the constitutive theories based on conjugate pairs in entropy inequality and the representation theorem. This nonlinear MPNCCT for TVES with rheology: 1) incorporates nonlinear ordered rate dissipation mechanism based on Green’s strain rates up to order n;2) also incorporates an additional ordered rate dissipation mechanism due to microconstituents, the viscosity of the medium and the rates of the symmetric part of the rotation gradient (of cΘ) tensor up to order n, referred to as micropolar dissipation or micropolar viscous dissipation mechanism;3) incorporates the primary mechanism of memory or rheology due to long chain molecules of the polymer and the viscosity of the medium by using the contravaraint second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor and its rates up to order m, resulting in a relaxation spectrum;4) incorporates second mechanism of memory or rheology due to nonclassical physics, interaction of microconstituents with the viscous medium and long chain molecules by considering rates of the contravariant second Piola-Kirchhoff moment tensor up to order m, resulting in relaxation of second Piola-Kirchhoff moment tensor. This results in another relaxation spectrum for the second Piola-Kirchhoff moment tensor due to microconstituents, referred to as micropolar relaxation spectrum consisting of micropolar relaxation time constants of the material. This nonlinear MPNCCT for TVES with memory is thermodynamically and mathematically consistent, and the mathematical model consisting of conservation and balance laws and the constitutive theories has closure and naturally reduces to linear MPNCCT based on infinitesimal deformation assumption. BMM is the essential balance law for all MPNCCT and is used in the present work as well. In the absence of this balance law, a valid thermodynamically and mathematically consistent nonlinear MPNCCT is not possible. The nonlinear MPNCCT based on rotations (cΘ+αΘ) and αΘ(ignoring cΘ) is not considered due to the fact that even the linear MPNCCT based on these rotations is invalid and is thermodynamically and mathematically inconsistent MPNCCT.展开更多

This nonlinear MPNCCT for TVES with rheology: 1) incorporates nonlinear ordered rate dissipation mechanism based on Green’s strain rates up to order n;2) also incorporates an additional ordered rate dissipation mechanism due to microconstituents, the viscosity of the medium and the rates of the symmetric part of the rotation gradient (of cΘ) tensor up to order n, referred to as micropolar dissipation or micropolar viscous dissipation mechanism;3) incorporates the primary mechanism of memory or rheology due to long chain molecules of the polymer and the viscosity of the medium by using the contravaraint second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor and its rates up to order m, resulting in a relaxation spectrum;4) incorporates second mechanism of memory or rheology due to nonclassical physics, interaction of microconstituents with the viscous medium and long chain molecules by considering rates of the contravariant second Piola-Kirchhoff moment tensor up to order m, resulting in relaxation of second Piola-Kirchhoff moment tensor. This results in another relaxation spectrum for the second Piola-Kirchhoff moment tensor due to microconstituents, referred to as micropolar relaxation spectrum consisting of micropolar relaxation time constants of the material. This nonlinear MPNCCT for TVES with memory is thermodynamically and mathematically consistent, and the mathematical model consisting of conservation and balance laws and the constitutive theories has closure and naturally reduces to linear MPNCCT based on infinitesimal deformation assumption. BMM is the essential balance law for all MPNCCT and is used in the present work as well. In the absence of this balance law, a valid thermodynamically and mathematically consistent nonlinear MPNCCT is not possible. The nonlinear MPNCCT based on rotations (cΘ+αΘ) and αΘ(ignoring cΘ) is not considered due to the fact that even the linear MPNCCT based on these rotations is invalid and is thermodynamically and mathematically inconsistent MPNCCT.
文摘The application of mass timber elements in different structures has gained publicity over the last few years,pri-marily due to climate change adaptation policies and net zero carbon targets.Timber is a renewable construction material that can outperform other building materials regarding environmental impact.However,when used in seismically active regions,its application has been limited due to the uncertainties on their seismic behaviour in respect with different design standards and limited ductility in conventional connections.Conventional timber connections typically suffer from stiffness and strength degradation under cyclic loads.Their repairability is also low due to permanent damage in the fasteners and the associated crushing in the wood fibres.The use of friction connections can be an efficient way to mitigate these issues.They offer many advantages as they are economical and yet provide a high level of reliable and continuous energy dissipation.In recent years,a new generation of friction connections has been developed that can provide self-centring behaviour(i.e.,the ability of the structure to return to its original position at the end of an earthquake).However,how these connections perform compared to a mass timber system with conventional timber connections is still unknown.Several studies in the literature have suggested that these connections can enhance the performance of mass timber structures.However,the seismic performance of such systems specifically in terms of base shear,response drifts and response accelerations-has not been thoroughly investigated.This paper examines various design aspects of conventional friction connections and self-centring friction connections,providing insights into their differences concerning key seismic performance indicators.It compares the seismic performance of mass timber buildings equipped with both solutions,highlighting their advantages and limitations and drawing conclusions based on the results.The key findings are that friction connections can provides a superior seismic performance for timber structures.However,that may need to be combined with a parallel system avoid residual displacements.

文摘Lycium barb arum,known as wolfberry or goji berry,is consumed by humans as a medicine and a food homology product.Conventionally grown wolfberry is often treated extensively with pesticides,which could pose a hazard to humans.Here,the degradation dynamics of dinotefuran and its 2 metabolites(1-methyl-3-(tetrahydro-3-furylmethyl)urea(UF)and 1-methyl-3-(tetrahydro-3-furylmethyl)guanidine(DN)),during wolfberry cultivation and processing was investigated.The half-life(T_(1/2))of dinotefuran was 11.36 and 9.76 days,respectively,under the recommended dosage and double the recommended dosage.During the oven and sun drying processes,processing factors(PFs)of dinotefuran were 1.07-1.34,implying the enrichment of pesticide residues.Decoction process made the removal rate of dinotefuran reach 87.48%,which is higher than that of the brewing process(14.7%),while dinotefuran remained in the wine with high ethanol content in the alcohol soaking process.The hazard quotient(HQ)of dinotefuran,as determined via dietary risk assessment combined with PFs,was<1,indicating an acceptable risk for human consumption.Bioaccessibility of dinotefuran in the three digestive stages were intestinal(18.20%-88.08%)>gastric(5.45%-86.72%)>oral(23.18%)via in vitro simulated digestive system.These findings provide scientific evidence for reasonable application and risk assessment of dinotefuran residues in wolfberry.
文摘Viscoelastic nanofluid flow has drawn substantial interest due to its industrial uses,including research and testing of medical devices,lubrication and tribology,drug delivery systems,and environmental remediation.This work studies nanofluid flow over a viscoelastic boundary layer,focusing on mass and heat transmission.An analysis is performed on the flow traversing a porous sheet undergoing nonlinear stretching.It assesses the consequences of viscous dissipation and thermal radiation.The scientific nanofluid framework laid out by Buongiorno has been exploited.The partial differential equations illustrating the phenomena can be transfigured into ordinary differential equations by utilizing appropriate similarity transformations.The simplified equations are unmasked using the Homotopy Analysis Method(HAM),a semi-analytical approach designed to solve nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations commonly encountered in numerous scientific and engineering disciplines.Calculations are executed to ascertain the numerical solutions related to temperature,concentration,and velocity fields,accompanied by the skin friction coefficient,local Nusselt number,and local Sherwood number.Visualizations of the results are accompanied by pertinent explanations grounded in scientific principles.The temperature distribution and corresponding thermal layer have been enhanced due to radiative and viscous dissipation characteristics.Additionally,it has been noted that a delay in fluid movement results from an improvement in the porous medium parameter and magnetic field values.A falling trend in the Nusselt number is observed as the Eckert and thermophoresis parameters increase.The current numerical results have been effectively validated against previous difficulties.

文摘The problems of tailings storage and high-stress conditions in deep mining have emerged as critical factors that limit the security,efficiency,and sustainability of such mines.This study explores the potential to utilize tungsten tailings to create cementitious backfill(CTB)materials and investigates the macroscopic strength features and microscopic damage evolution mechanisms of different-sized CTBs with varying dosages of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC).Specimens with bottom diameters of 50,75,and 100 mm are combined with HPMC dosages of 0,0.15wt%,0.25wt%,and 0.35wt%.A diameter/height ratio of 1:2 is maintained for all CTB specimens.The experimental results show that as the HPMC dosage is increased from 0 to 0.35wt%,the uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)of the CTBs decreases significantly in a linear manner.The 75 mm×150 mm CTB specimen exhibits relatively high plasticity and toughness,with good plastic deformation and energy absorption capabilities,indicating significant size effects.HPMC introduces connected bubbles during the CTB pouring process,but it exhibits anti-segregation and anti-bleeding characteristics,thus reducing tailing settling.The hydration reaction of the CTB doped with HPMC is more uniform,and the Ca/Si atomic ratio dispersion at different sites is smaller.The three CTB sizes all exhibit combined tensile and shear failure,with the 75 mm×150 mm specimen exhibiting macroscopic tensile cracks and relatively few shear cracks.At the micro-scale,excessive ettringite and hydrated calcium silicate are interwoven and fuse,and the tungsten tailings are tightly wrapped.These results provide valuable data and notional insights for optimizing the fluidity of the backfill,and elucidate the strength and damage evolution of solidified materials during filling and extraction.This study contributes to the advancement of green,economical,safe,and sustainable mining practices.

文摘Traditional impact protection structures(IPSs)dissipate impact energy according to the plastic dissipation mechanism,which is only effective for single impacts due to the irreversible deformation of structures.To achieve multi-impact protection,this paper proposes a novel chiral periodic structure with the deformation self-recovery function and the high energy conversion efficiency based on the flexoelectric mechanism.A theoretical model is formulated on the electromechanical responses of a flexoelectric beam under rotational boundaries.The equivalent stiffness and damping characteristics are subsequently derived to construct the electromechanical responses of the structure under constant velocity and mass impacts.Discussions are addressed for the influence of the structural scale effect and resistance on the electromechanical responses.The results show that the energy conversion efficiency increases by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude,reaching as high as 85.3%,which can match well with those of structures reported in the literature based on the plastic energy dissipating mechanism.

文摘This work aims to reveal the mechanical responses and energy evolution characteristics of skarn rock under constant amplitude-varied frequency loading paths.Testing results show that the fatigue lifetime,stress−strain responses,deformation,energy dissipation and fracture morphology are all impacted by the loading rate.A pronounced influence of the loading rate on rock deformation is found,with slower loading rate eliciting enhanced strain development,alongside augmented energy absorption and dissipation.In addition,it is revealed that the loading rate and cyclic loading amplitude jointly influence the phase shift distribution,with accelerated rates leading to a narrower phase shift duration.It is suggested that lower loading rate leads to more significant energy dissipation.Finally,the tensile or shear failure modes were intrinsically linked to loading strategy,with cyclic loading predominantly instigating shear damage,as manifest in the increased presence of pulverized grain particles.This work would give new insights into the fortification of mining structures and the optimization of mining methodologies.

文摘After excavation,some of the surrounding rock mass is in a state of triaxial extension,exhibiting tensile or shear fracture modes.To study the energy mechanism of tensile fracture turning to shear fracture,a series of triaxial extension tests were conducted on sandstone under confining pressures of 10,30,50 and 70 MPa.Elastic energy and dissipated energy were separated by single unloading,the input energy u_(t),elastic energy u_(e),and dissipated energy u_(d)at different unloading stress levels were calculated by the integrating stress−strain curves.The results show that tensile cracks dominate fracture under lower confining pressure(10 MPa),and shear cracks play an increasingly important role in fracture as confining pressure increases(30,50 and 70 MPa).Based on the phenomenon that u_(e)and u_(d)increase linearly with increasing u_(t),a possible energy distribution mechanism of fracture mode transition under triaxial extension was proposed.In addition,it was found that peak energy storage capacity is more sensitive to confining pressure compared to elastic energy conversion capacity.

文摘Stress accumulation is a key factor leading to sodium storage performance deterioration for NiSe_(2)-based anodes.Therefore,inhibiting the concentrated local stress during the sodiataion/desodiation process is crucial for acquiring stable NiSe2-based materials for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs),Herein,a stress dissipation strategy driven by architecture engineering is proposed,which can achieve ultrafast and ultralong sodium storage properties.Different from the conventional sphere-like or rod-like architecture,the three-dimensional(3D)flower-like NiSe_(2)@C composite is delicately designed and assembled with onedimensional nanorods and carbon framework.More importantly,the fundamental mechanism of improved structure stability is unveiled by simulations and experimental results simultaneously.It demonstrates that this designed multidimensional flower-like architecture with dispersed nanorods can balance the structural mismatch,avoid concentrated local strain,and relax the internal stress,mainly induced by the unavoidable volume variation during the repeated conversion processes.Moreover,it can provide more Na^(+)-storage sites and multi-directional migration pathways,leading to a fast Na^(+)-migration channel with boosted reaction kinetic.As expected,it delivers superior rate performance(441 mA h g^(-1)at 5.0 A g^(-1))and long cycling stability(563 mA h g^(-1)at 1.0 A g^(-1)over 1000 cycles)for SIBs.This work provides useful insights for designing high-performance conversion-based anode materials for SIBs.
