In order to seek the best testing method of resin sand high temperature compressive strength, a self-developed instrument was used to carry out experiments, and the sample shape and size were designed and studied. The results show that a hollow cylinder sample can reflect the strength difference of different resin sands better than a solid cylinder sample, and its data is stable. The experiments selected φ20/5×30 mm as the size of the hollow cylinder samples. The high temperature compressive strengths of phenol-formaldehyde resin coated sand, furan resin self-setting sand, and TEA resin sand were each tested. For the resin sand used for cast steel and cast iron, 1,000 ℃ was selected as the test temperature; for the resin sand used for cast non-ferrous alloy, 800 ℃ was selected as the test temperature; and for all the resin sand samples, 1 min was selected as the holding time. This testing method can truthfully reflect the high temperature performance of three kinds of resin sand; it is reproducible, and the variation coefficients of test values are under 10%.展开更多

Fatigue crack growth tests were performed on Ti-6Al-4V/ELI and 7050-T7452 subjected to constant-amplitude and actual randomspectra loading at room temperature of about 25 ℃ and at high temperatures of 250 ℃ and 150 ℃ to determine their crack growth properties and residual lives. The damage mode and mechanisms at high temperature were compared with those at room temperature on the basis of the results of fractographic analysis. Temperature-dependent residual lives under actual random-spectra load history were evaluated based on a modified accumulation damage rule accounting for the load interaction.Good correlation was achieved between the predictions and actual experiments, demonstrating the practical and effective use of the proposed method.展开更多

To find the reasons in the abnormally collapse and countermeasures, first the quality of the tubing was checked. It was founded that the collapse was not resulted from the defect of the tubing. Then, force and stress exerted in the tubing was analyzed taking XS2 well as an example. The analysis results were concluded as follows. The collapsing strength of tubing decreased due to the axial tensile, which is seriously at the upper tubing especially. During injecting, the additional axial force that was caused by the temperature effect increased the tubing near wellhead to suffer axial tensile and further reduced the collapsing strength of tubing near wellhead. Reinforcing defect, prohibiting defect tubing to trip in hole, according to the calculation to impose appropriate annular pressure, selecting size nozzle to reverse pumping and controlling the reverse pumping speed and pressure, prohibiting to be opened flow and reducing or releasing the annular pressure can prevent the well testing tubing down-hole being collapsed at the wellhead.展开更多

文摘The effect of real-time high temperature and thermal treatment on the mechanical characteristics and crack evolution of granite with different grain sizes(i.e.,0.5 mm,0.7 mm and 1.0 mm)is investigated by numerical simulation employing a grain-based model,and the impact of initial cracks on thermal-induced strengthening is also examined by integrating random cracks within the model before tests.The results revealed that thermal stress,induced by the mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient between various minerals,is the primary distinction between rock specimens in real-time high temperature and thermal treatment.With increasing temperature,the thermal stress gradually accumulates in quartz minerals under real-time high temperature but releases after thermal treatment.The high local contact force significantly affects the peak stress and crack evolution.Uniaxial compression simulation results demonstrate that progressive accumulation of thermal stress induces degradation in macroscopic peak strength and increase of microcrack density.The grain size controls the ratio of intergranular contacts to intragranular contacts,and leads to an increase in strong contact number in the intragrain and a decrease in strong contact number in the intergrain.The strengthening of uniaxial compression strength in the experiment can be well simulated by controlling the number of pre-existing initial cracks in the numerical model.Our conclusions are beneficial to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of thermal damage and thermal strengthening of granite for deep geological engineering.

文摘High temperature stress (HT) significantly reduces maize yield by impairing starch accumulation in kernels.However,the mechanism by which HT affects starch synthesis remains controversial-whether through reduced assimilate supply or direct inhibition on kernel metabolism.To clarify these mechanisms,a heat-sensitive maize hybrid,Xianyu 335 (XY),was exposed to 30℃/20℃ (maximum/minimum temperature,control) and 40℃/30℃ for seven consecutive days during the seed setting stage.Synchronous pollination (SP),apical pollination (AP),and shading treatments were applied to manipulate the inherent source–sink ratio in maize plants.Results showed that apical kernel weight decreased by 11.9%under 40℃ in the SP treatment.The ^(13)C content,starch accumulation,and cell-wall invertase (CWIN) activity also declined by 15.9,36.7,and 16.4%,respectively,under HT.In the shading treatment,40℃/30℃ caused even greater reductions in^(13)C content,starch accumulation,and CWIN activity due to diminished assimilate supply.Conversely,in the AP treatment,starch content and CWIN activity increased by 22.0 and 18.5%,respectively,under 40℃/30℃,resulting in kernel weight and ^(13)C content similar to those in SP and shading treatments regardless of temperature.Consistent with apical kernels under AP,HT did not negatively affect middle kernels in either SP or shading treatments,as kernel weight and starch content remained unchanged under HT.Although all kernels were exposed to the same HT or control environment,their responses varied a lot.The impaired starch synthesis in apical kernels under HT was rescued by increasing carbon supply via AP treatment.The contrasting performance among middle kernels,apical kernels under AP,and apical kernels under SP or shading indicates that reduced carbon supply is a critical factor underlying inhibited starch accumulation.Our findings provide a theoretical basis for further understanding kernel abortion under HT.

文摘Rechargeable Zn/Sn-air batteries have received considerable attention as promising energy storage devices.However,the electrochemical performance of these batteries is significantly constrained by the sluggish electrocatalytic reaction kinetics at the cathode.The integration of light energy into Zn/Sn-air batteries is a promising strategy for enhancing their performance.However,the photothermal and photoelectric effects generate heat in the battery under prolonged solar irradiation,leading to air cathode instability.This paper presents the first design and synthesis of Ni_(2)-1,5-diamino-4,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone(Ni_(2)DDA),an electronically conductiveπ-d conjugated metal-organic framework(MOF).Ni_(2)DDA exhibits both photoelectric and photothermal effects,with an optical band gap of~1.14 eV.Under illumination,Ni_(2)DDA achieves excellent oxygen evolution reaction performance(with an overpotential of 245 mV vs.reversible hydrogen electrode at 10 mA cm^(−2))and photothermal stability.These properties result from the synergy between the photoelectric and photothermal effects of Ni_(2)DDA.Upon integration into Zn/Sn-air batteries,Ni_(2)DDA ensures excellent cycling stability under light and exhibits remarkable performance in high-temperature environments up to 80℃.This study experimentally confirms the stable operation of photo-assisted Zn/Sn-air batteries under high-temperature conditions for the first time and provides novel insights into the application of electronically conductive MOFs in photoelectrocatalysis and photothermal catalysis.

文摘High temperature compressive strength is one of the most important performances of resin sand; its value directly concerns the quality of castings. In order to seek the best testing method of resin sand high temperature compressive strength, a self-developed instrument was used to carry out experiments, and the sample shape and size were designed and studied. The results show that a hollow cylinder sample can reflect the strength difference of different resin sands better than a solid cylinder sample, and its data is stable. The experiments selected φ20/5×30 mm as the size of the hollow cylinder samples. The high temperature compressive strengths of phenol-formaldehyde resin coated sand, furan resin self-setting sand, and TEA resin sand were each tested. For the resin sand used for cast steel and cast iron, 1,000 ℃ was selected as the test temperature; for the resin sand used for cast non-ferrous alloy, 800 ℃ was selected as the test temperature; and for all the resin sand samples, 1 min was selected as the holding time. This testing method can truthfully reflect the high temperature performance of three kinds of resin sand; it is reproducible, and the variation coefficients of test values are under 10%.

文摘This paper seeks to evaluate crack propagation properties and residual lives of metallic alloys subjected to fatigue loading at room and high temperatures. Fatigue crack growth tests were performed on Ti-6Al-4V/ELI and 7050-T7452 subjected to constant-amplitude and actual randomspectra loading at room temperature of about 25 ℃ and at high temperatures of 250 ℃ and 150 ℃ to determine their crack growth properties and residual lives. The damage mode and mechanisms at high temperature were compared with those at room temperature on the basis of the results of fractographic analysis. Temperature-dependent residual lives under actual random-spectra load history were evaluated based on a modified accumulation damage rule accounting for the load interaction.Good correlation was achieved between the predictions and actual experiments, demonstrating the practical and effective use of the proposed method.

文摘In this study,a waveform modification method was proposed using a self-designed heating device combined with the split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)technique for determination of dynamic behaviors of rock at high temperature.Firstly,the temperature gradient distribution on the incident bar was measured according to the variation of elastic modulus of the bar with temperature,and the relationship between the longitudinal wave velocity and temperature of the bar was obtained based on onedimensional stress wave theory.The incident bar with a temperature gradient was divided into a series of microelements,and then the transmission coefficient of the whole incident bar was obtained.Finally,the stress wave was modified by the transmission coefficient from 25℃ to 600℃.This method was used to study the dynamic properties of rock at high temperature,which not only preserves a classical SHPB device,but also effectively ensures the accuracy of the experimental results.A dynamic Brazilian disc experiment was carried out to explore the influences of loading rate and temperature on dynamic tensile strength of sandstone at high temperature using the proposed waveform modification method.

文摘To evaluate the tensile behavior of metal foils by resistance heating(RH)assisted tensile testing system accurately,this study proposed to embed a digital image correlation(DIC)system with laser speckles for the measurement of full-field strain distribution.Furthermore,the sample structures were optimized to achieve uniform temperature and strain distribution.An infrared camera was used to monitor the temperature distribution.Rectangular samples instead of dog-bone shaped samples were proposed.A model for calculating the temperature distribution was established to optimize the sample structure.The parameters that influence the temperature distribution and tensile behavior were studied.As results,compared to the strain measured by a non-contact extensometer,the maximum deviation of the strain measured by DIC was less than 6%when the nominal strain was larger than 0.013.It is confirmed that the proposed tensile testing system is reliable for measuring the temperature and full-field strain distributions.Sample shape influenced temperature distributions of smaller samples while it almost had no influence on the temperature distributions of larger samples.The temperature difference was not affected by the material type but by the sample size.The proposed rectangular shape was validated to be feasible for RH assisted tensile testing.The sample length was successfully optimized for a more uniform temperature distribution by the established model.Although the tensile deformation was not influenced by the sample shape,the temperature distribution resulted in a non-uniform strain distribution before achieving ultimate tensile strength.Longer effective sample length between two clamping jigs contributed to a more uniform temperature distribution and material deformation.A more accurate evaluation of high-temperature tensile behavior for metal foils can be achieved by the proposed RH assisted tensile testing system using rectangular samples with an optimized structure.

文摘Creep tests under at a certain temperature and different stress levels were performed on two carbon constructional quality steels at a certain stress level and different temperatures,and their creep curves at high temperature were obtained based on analyzing the testing data.Taking 45 steel at a certain temperature and stress as the example,the integral creep constitutive equation and the differential stress-strain constitutive relationship were established based on the relevant rheological model,and the integral core function was also obtained.Simultaneously,the viscous coefficients denoting the viscous behavior in visco-plastic constitutive equation were determined by taking use of the creep testing data.Then the viscous coefficients of three carbon steels(20 steel,35 steel and 45 steel) were compared and analyzed.The results show that the viscosity is different due to different materials at the same temperature and stress.
文摘The tensile properties of three different carbonfiberreinforced carbon composites (C/C), mat C/C, 2D laminate and 4D C/C, were investigated under the combined influence of temperature and loading rate. From the experiments the following could be concluded: loading rate between 10-1-10 mm/min was valid; the fracture stress of the three kinds of C/C composites increased with increasing temperature in the range from room temperature to 1900, and the initial modulus of 2D laminate C/C composites increased with the increase of temperature up to 2000.
文摘Because various reasons, the tubing near wellhead was collapsed during well testing in high pressure and high temperature deep well when the outer pressure was less than collapsing strength. To find the reasons in the abnormally collapse and countermeasures, first the quality of the tubing was checked. It was founded that the collapse was not resulted from the defect of the tubing. Then, force and stress exerted in the tubing was analyzed taking XS2 well as an example. The analysis results were concluded as follows. The collapsing strength of tubing decreased due to the axial tensile, which is seriously at the upper tubing especially. During injecting, the additional axial force that was caused by the temperature effect increased the tubing near wellhead to suffer axial tensile and further reduced the collapsing strength of tubing near wellhead. Reinforcing defect, prohibiting defect tubing to trip in hole, according to the calculation to impose appropriate annular pressure, selecting size nozzle to reverse pumping and controlling the reverse pumping speed and pressure, prohibiting to be opened flow and reducing or releasing the annular pressure can prevent the well testing tubing down-hole being collapsed at the wellhead.

文摘Severe failures of nonstructural components have occurred during previous earthquakes.Claddings are one of the most widely used nonstructural component and are installed in many modern buildings;therefore,an evaluation of their seismic performance is important and cannot be ignored.To investigate the seismic performance of large-sized high performance concrete cladding(HPCC),a series of full-scale experimental tests were conducted using a unidirectional shaking table.A steel supporting frame was used to install the HPCCs and reproduce the effects of the building under earthquake.The tests were divided into two parts:in-plane(IP)testing and out-plane(OP)testing.Three recorded accelerograms,one artificial accelerogram,and one sinusoidal accelerogram were used to conduct the shaking table tests.The results show that the maximum recorded IP responses of acceleration and interstory drift ratio were 1.04 g and 1/97,while the OP responses were 1.02 g and 1/51.The HPCCs functioned well throughout the entire experimental protocol.The fundamental frequency of the HPCCs systems rarely changed after the tests.

文摘Spaceborne optomechanical systems face the dual challenges of extreme thermal disturbances and millikelvin-level temperature control precision during orbital operations,demanding robust control strategies.To address the performance limitations of conventional fixed-parameter active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)under complex operating conditions,this work proposes a Qlearning-enhanced adaptive ADRC framework.A thermal-transfer model incorporating multisource disturbances(solar radiation,structural conduction,and contact thermal resistance)is established,coupled with a reinforcement learning-driven parameter optimization mechanism.The ε-greedy policy dynamically adjusts observer bandwidth(ω_(o)∈[0.01,0.2])and controller bandwidth(ω_(c)∈[0.01,0.1])to enable real-time estimation and compensation of total disturbances.Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements over fixed-parameter ADRC and a self-tuning internal model control proportional-integral(SIMC-PI)controller:31.3% and 15.4% reduction in settling time during setpoint responses,respectively;21.8% lower integral absolute error(IAE)than the fixed-parameter ADRC during setpoint step responses;12.7% and 52.5% enhancement in control precision over conventional fixed-parameter and SIMC-PI controllers,respectively,under±10 K periodic and step thermal disturbances.Monte Carlo robustness tests reveal smaller fluctuation ranges of IAE,settling time,and overshoot under±5% parameter perturbations.This methodology establishes a new paradigm for millikelvin-level thermal control in space optical payloads.

文摘The use of high entropy alloy as a binder for tungsten heavy alloys offers potential advantages.The 95W-5CoCrFeMnNi alloys(95W-HEAs)were prepared via powder metallurgy at sintering temperatures of 1400−1550℃.The microstructure analysis revealed that the tungsten phase in 95W-HEAs exhibited a nearly spherical morphology in the HEA binder matrix and the formation of a Cr−Mn oxide mixed phase was observed.The sintering temperature exerted a significant influence on the relative density,grain size,W−W contiguity,and mechanical properties of the alloys.The optimal performance was achieved when sintering at 1450℃,yielding a relative density of 96.61%,a W−W contiguity of 0.528,an average grain size of 18.97μm,a compressive strength of 2234.82 MPa,and a hardness of HV 400.6.The activation energy for the diffusion of tungsten in the liquid phase formed by HEA binder was calculated to be 354.514 kJ/mol,highlighting its role in controlling grain growth.
文摘This study investigates the thermo–mechanical behavior of C40 concrete and reinforced concrete subjected to elevated temperatures up to 700℃by integrating experimental testing and advanced numerical modeling.A temperature-indexed Concrete Damage Plasticity(CDP)framework incorporating bond–slip effects was developed in Abaqus to capture both global stress–strain responses and localized damage evolution.Uniaxial compression tests on thermally exposed cylinders provided residual strength data and failure observations for model calibration and validation.Results demonstrated a distinct two-stage degradation regime:moderate stiffness and strength reduction up to~400℃,followed by sharp deterioration beyond 500℃–600℃,with residual capacity at 700℃reduced to~20%–25%of the ambient value.Strain–damage analyses revealed the formation of a peripheral tensile strain band,which thickened and propagated inward with increasing temperature,governing crack initiation and cover spalling.Supplemental analyses highlighted that transverse reinforcement improved ductility and damage distribution at moderate temperatures(~300℃),but bond deterioration and steel softening beyond~600℃substantially diminished confinement effectiveness.The proposed CDP model accurately reproduced experimental stress–strain curves(R^(2)≈0.94–0.98 up to 600℃;≈0.90 at 700℃),with peak stress errors within 7%–10%and energy absorption captured within~12%.These findings confirm the robustness of the temperature-indexed CDP framework for simulating fire-damaged reinforced concrete and provide practical guidelines for post-fire assessment,spalling detection,and fire-resilient design of structural members.
