The results show that the diffusion path in solid-liquid reaction is Ni3Si/（T＋γ）/γ/…T/γ/Ni4Zn12Si3/γ/…Ni4Zn12Si3/γ/Ni4Zn12Si3/δ…/Ni4Zn12Si3/δ/liquid-Zn, and the diffusion path in solid-vapor reaction is Ni3Si/θ/（T＋γ）/γ/…/T/γ/…T/γ/vapor-Zn. With increasing Zn diffusion flux, the diffusion reaction path moves toward the Zn-rich direction, and the distance from the Ni3Si substrate to the periodic layer pair nearest to the interface decreases. In the initial stage of both reactions,γphase nucleates and grows within T matrix phase at first, and then conjuncts together to form a band to reduce the surface energy. Based on the experimental results and diffusion kinetics analysis, the microstructure differences were compared and the formation mechanism of the periodic layered structure in Ni3Si/Zn system was discussed.展开更多

Infiltration experiments for three kinds of porous-fractured layered structures were conducted with application of a rainfall simulator in this in- vestigation. During experiments, the volumetric water contents of porous media and on the interface of porous-fractured media were monitored by moisture sensors （TDT）. The infiltration rate, water amount in the profile and on the interface between the soil and the fractured bedrock, and outflow from the layered structures were analyzed to identify the effects of porous-fractured interface on water movement in the upper porous media and the effects of various kinds of porous media on infiltration in fractured rocks. It has been observed from the experiment results that the porous media and the frac- tured rock bear considerable reciprocal impact each other on infiltration processes and water content distribution. The results showed fractured rock prevented vertical water movement in the layered structure, and it decreases infiltration rate of layered structure and slows the process for upper porous media saturation.展开更多

The formation of PLS is a very interesting and complex phenomenon during the reactive diffusion process. It was firstly discovered occasionally. The formation of PLS has been reported in various solid state diffusion couples such as Zn/ Ni3 Si, Mg/SiO2, Zn/Cux Tiy and so on, and some controversial theoretical models and formation mechanism of PLS were put forward. However, there have been few reports about the PLS formed during hot dip. The development of PLS was reviewed, and the recent progress referring to the formation of PLS during the hot dip aluminizing of a no- vel Fe-Cr-B cast steel was especially introduced. However, not all of the borides could form PLS in their interracial reaction with molten Al. PLS only formed at the Cr-rich Fe2B/Al interface, while Mo-rich Fe2B fractured. A general qualitative description for the interracial reaction of Fe-Cr-B cast steel with molten Al was represented. Further inves- tigation on the constituents of the alternating phases and formation mechanism of PLS needs to be done. At last, the development trends of PLS were proposed.展开更多

Sulfide catalysts have been proved to have good activity for the HDO and particularly high selectivity to phenolic products. Herein, we presented a novel way to prepare the layered structure sulfide catalysts（MgFeMo-S） derived from MgFe hydrotalcites via the intercalation of Mo in consideration of the memory effect of the calcined hydrotalcite. By varying the Mg/Fe mole ratio, a series of MgFeMo-S catalysts were successfully prepared and characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）,and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer（ICP-OES）. The characterization results indicated that the MgFeMo-S catalyst has retained the unique layered structure, which can facilitate uniform dispersion of the MoS2 species on both the surface and interlayer of the catalysts. For the HDO of eugenol, the Mg1Fe2Mo-S catalysts exhibited the best HDO activity among all the catalysts due to its higher active metal contents and larger pore size. The HDO conversion was 99.6% and the yield of phenolics was 63.7%, under 5 MPa initial H2 pressure（measured at RT） at 300 ℃ for 3 h. More importantly,MoS2 species deposited on the interlayer galleries in the MgFeMo-S catalysts resulted in dramatically superior HDO activity to MoS2/Mg1Fe2-S catalyst. Based on the mechanism investigation for eugenol, the HDO reaction route of eugenol under sulfide catalytic system has been proposed for the first time. Further applicability of the catalyst on HDO of more lignin-derived compounds was operated, which showed good HDO activity and selectivity to produce aromatic products.展开更多

Aiming at the second-order non-circular planetary gear system pendulum seeding mechanism of the planter, the paper innovatively adopts the combination of inverse design and multi-objective layered accurate optimization to solve the problems of attitude, speed and trajectory that do not meet the requirements of fixed-attitude seeding that still exists in the process of sugarcane seeding. The second-order non-circular planetary gear system is simplified into a three-rod two-degree-of-freedom mechanism, and the radius of the pitch curve of each non-circular gear is solved inversely by actively preplanning the static trajectory of the cane seed motion and analyzing the law of motion of the rod assembly. Determining the range of cane seed attitude angles in different motion phases as the first layer optimization objective, and fine-tuning the position of static trajectory key type value points to achieve the first layer optimization. Based on the non-circular gear pitch curve obtained from optimization, the interpolation points are marked on each non-circular gear pitch curve of the second-order non-circular planetary gear system, and based on the parameter optimization method of human-computer interaction, the radius values corresponding to the interpolation points of the non-circular gear pitch curve are fine-tuned to optimize the pitch curves, so as to satisfy the speed requirements of the cane species in each stage, and at the same time to make the convexity of non-circular gears in line with the principle of gear mesh, so as to complete the second layer of accurate optimization. The results of simulation verification show that the motion trajectory attitude of the virtual prototype is basically consistent with the theoretical model, which verifies the feasibility of the mechanism design. This study provides a new optimized design method for the cane seeding mechanism of sugarcane planters to achieve directional seeding.展开更多

Further inves- tigation on the constituents of the alternating phases and formation mechanism of PLS needs to be done. At last, the development trends of PLS were proposed.
文摘Luquire et al. ' s impedance change model of a rectangular cross section probe coil above a structure with an arbitrary number of parallel layers was used to study the principle of measuring thicknesses of multi-layered structures in terms of eddy current testing voltage measurements. An experimental system for multi-layered thickness measurement was developed and several fitting models to formulate the relationships between detected impedance/voltage measurements and thickness are put forward using least square method. The determination of multi-layered thicknesses was investigated after inversing the voltage outputs of the detecting system. The best fitting and inversion models are presented.

文摘Hydrodeoxygenation（HDO） is an effective alternative to produce value-added chemicals and liquid fuels by removing oxygen from lignin-derived compounds. Sulfide catalysts have been proved to have good activity for the HDO and particularly high selectivity to phenolic products. Herein, we presented a novel way to prepare the layered structure sulfide catalysts（MgFeMo-S） derived from MgFe hydrotalcites via the intercalation of Mo in consideration of the memory effect of the calcined hydrotalcite. By varying the Mg/Fe mole ratio, a series of MgFeMo-S catalysts were successfully prepared and characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）,and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer（ICP-OES）. The characterization results indicated that the MgFeMo-S catalyst has retained the unique layered structure, which can facilitate uniform dispersion of the MoS2 species on both the surface and interlayer of the catalysts. For the HDO of eugenol, the Mg1Fe2Mo-S catalysts exhibited the best HDO activity among all the catalysts due to its higher active metal contents and larger pore size. The HDO conversion was 99.6% and the yield of phenolics was 63.7%, under 5 MPa initial H2 pressure（measured at RT） at 300 ℃ for 3 h. More importantly,MoS2 species deposited on the interlayer galleries in the MgFeMo-S catalysts resulted in dramatically superior HDO activity to MoS2/Mg1Fe2-S catalyst. Based on the mechanism investigation for eugenol, the HDO reaction route of eugenol under sulfide catalytic system has been proposed for the first time. Further applicability of the catalyst on HDO of more lignin-derived compounds was operated, which showed good HDO activity and selectivity to produce aromatic products.

文摘Thin-film bulk acoustic resonators(FBARs)operating with essentially thickness-extensional mode have been widely used in communication fields.In this paper,we provide a convenient means for analyzing FBARs with sandwich-layered structure by appropriately neglecting the high-order terms from 3D elasticity equations.First,for straight-crested waves,an approximate method is proposed,which can accurately describe the dispersion relation near the operating frequency range of an FBAR.Using the approximation,the optimum lateral size of a 2D model of frame-like FBAR is obtained,and the results are in good agreement with that obtained by commercial FEM software COMSOL.The approximation is further extended to variablecrested waves in order to analyze the 3D plate models for real devices.The mode shapes of 3D FBARs with and without frame-like structures are obtained.The results show that the approximation presented in this paper is of sufficient accuracy and can be used as an efficient tool for the analysis and design of FBARs.

文摘Layered structure oxides have emerged as highly promising cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.In these cathode materials,volume variation related to anisotropic lattice strain during Li^(+)insertion/extraction,however,can induce critical structural instability and electrochemical degradation upon cycling.Despite extensive research efforts,solving the issues of lattice strain and mechanical fatigue remains a challenge.This perspective aims to establishthe"structure-property relationship"between the degradation mechanism of the layered oxide cathode due to lattice strain and the structural evolution during cycling.By addressing these issues,we aim to guide the improvement of electrochemical performance,thereby facilitating the widespread adoption of these materials in future high-energy density lithium-ion batteries.

文摘This paper theoretically investigates the influence of a cylindrical PN junction on the propagation characteristics of shear cylindrical waves(SCWs)in an infinitely long piezoelectric semiconductor(PS)concentric cylinder structure.This PS concentric cylinder structure is composed of three regions:an inner PS cylinder,an outer PS cylindrical shell,and a cylindrical PN junction at the interface between the two aforementioned regions.First,the basic equations of the PS concentric cylinder structure are derived,taking into account the coupling of the mechanical displacement,electric potential,and charge carrier perturbation in the cylindrical coordinate system.Next,a mathematical model for the SCWs in this PS concentric cylinder structure is established,utilizing the spectral method and considering the physical characteristics of the cylindrical PN junction.Finally,the dispersion and attenuation curves of the SCWs are numerically calculated to discuss the influence of the interface effect resulting from the cylindrical PN junction.It is found that the existence of a cylindrical PN junction can either reduce or enhance the mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion,which is closely related to the doping mode,doping concentration,and curvature radius of the cylindrical interface.A reasonable design of the aforementioned parameters can optimize the wave motion in acoustic equipment formed by PS media with different frequencies or wavelengths.The construction and resolution of the mathematical model as well as the analysis of physical mechanisms can offer theoretical guidance for improving the efficiency of energy conversion from mechanical energy to electrical energy and optimizing the acoustic performance of energy harvesting devices.

文摘This study focuses on steeply inclined and extremely thick coal seams(SIETCS)characterized by immense thickness,a steep inclination of coal seams(87°),and high horizontal stress.The geological conditions and mining technology associated with SIETCS differ significantly from those of generally inclined coal seams,resulting in notable variations in roadway stress distributions.On SIETCS have predominantly examined the impact of rock layers flanking coal seams on rock bursts,with limited emphasis on SIETCS roadways.This study employs comprehensive methods,integrating numerical simulations,theoretical analyses,and field detections to investigate the stress distribution of SIETCS and the mechanisms of rock burst-induced vertical damage,subsequently validated in situ.The vertical stress in SIETCS is minimal,while horizontal stress is concentrated,leading to the formation of layered crack structures(LCS)that distribute above and below the roadways.Additionally,elastic energy significantly concentrates within the LCS.Axial dynamic compressive stress and vertical dynamic tensile stress along the LCS diminish its stability,readily triggering failure.During the LCS failure process,the stored energy is released,converting into kinetic energy required for coal body ejection after reaching the minimum energy for failure and dissipative energy,ultimately leading to rock burst-induced vertical damage in roadways.On-site detection and analysis within SIETCS,along with historical rock burst data,confirm the existence of LCS and its role in inducing vertical rock burst damage.This research establishes essential foundations for preventing rock bursts within SIETCS.

文摘Selective Laser Melting(SLM),one of the metal additive manufacturing methods in the powder bed,is frequently used in the production of 316L stainless steel biomaterial.In this study,the effect of duplex surface modification(metal additive manufacturing and plasma oxidizing)on the corrosion resistance of 316L was investigated.Ti6Al4V layer was formed by additive manufacturing on 316L produced by selective laser melting method.The obtained layered Ti6Al4V/316L samples were oxidized by plasma at 650℃–750℃ and 1 h–4 h parameter conditions.TiO_(2)ceramic layer was formed on the Ti6Al4V/316L structure by plasma oxidation process in several layer thicknesses.Corrosion properties of the TiO_(2)layer were determined by Open Circuit Potential(OCP),potentiodynamic polarization,and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy(EIS)tests in Simulated Body Fluid(SBF)solution.Also,the surface characterizations of the samples were determined by the Vickers micro-hardness tester,Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM),and X-Ray Diffractometer(XRD)analysis.From the results,it was obtained that the corrosion resistance of the plasma oxidized was higher than the untreated 316L and layered Ti6Al4V/316L samples.The best corrosion resistance was obtained under the 750℃ and 4 h parameter conditions because of the increasing plasma oxidizing time and temperature.

文摘Air pollution from particulate matter produced by incomplete combustion of diesel fuel has become a serious environmental pollution problem,which can be addressed by catalytic combustion.In this work,a series of K-modified MnO_(δ)catalysts with different microstructures were synthesized by the hydrothermal method,the relationship between structure of the catalysts and their catalytic performance for soot combustion was studied by characterization techniques and density functional theory(DFT)calculations.Results showed that the prepared catalysts had good catalytic performance for soot combustion and could completely oxidize soot at temperatures below 400℃.The cryptomelane-type K_(2−x)Mn_(8)O_(16)(K-OMS-2)with tunnel structure had excellent NO oxidation capacity and abundance of Mn^(4+)ions(Mn^(4+)/Mn^(3+)=1.24)with good redox ability,it demonstrated better soot combustion performance than layered birnessite-type K_(2)Mn_(4)O_(8)(K-OL-1).The T_(10),T_(50),T_(90)temperatures of KOMS-2 were 269,314,346℃,respectively.The K-OMS-2 catalyst also showed excellent stability after five catalytic cycles,with T_(10),T_(50),T_(90)values holding in the ranges of 270±2,316±2,348±3℃,respectively.

文摘The unique columnar structure endows thermal barrier coatings(TBCs)prepared by plasma spray-physical vapor deposition(PS-PVD)with high thermal insulation and long lifetime.However,the coating delamination failure resulting from an intra-column fracture(within a column rather than between columns)is a bottleneck in the solid dust particle impact environment for aero-engine.To clarify the intra-column fracture mechanism,a basic layer deposition model is developed to explore a heterogeneous weak-to-strong layered structure formed by a local transient in-situ deposit temperature.During the PS-PVD,an in-situ deposit surface is continuously updated due to constantly being covered by vapor condensation,showing a transient temperature,which means that the in-situ deposit surface temperature rises sharply in short period of 0.2 s of depositing a thin layer during a single pass.Meanwhile,the increasing temperature of the in-situ deposit surface results in an experimentally observed heterogeneous weak-to-strong structure,showing a continuous transition from a porous weak structure at the bottom region to a dense strong structure at the top region.This structure easily makes the intra-column fracture at the porous weak region.The results shed light on improving TBC lifetime by restraining the intra-column fracture.
文摘The present paper presents an innovative approach for the numerical modeling of piezo-electric transducers for the health-monitoring of layered structures.The numerical approach has been developed in the frameworks of the Carrera Unified Formulation.This computa-tional tool allows refined numerical models to be derived in a unified and efficient fashion.The use of higher-order models and the cap-ability to connect different kinematic models using the node-depen-dent kinematic approach has led to an efficient modeling technique for global-local analysis.This approach can refine the model only in those regions where it is required,e.g.,the areas where piezo-electric transducers are placed.The model has been used to study embedded and surface-mounted sensors.The accuracy of the pre-sent model has been verified by comparing the current results with numerical and experimental data from the literature.Different mod-eling solutions have been developed,mixing one-,two-and threedimensional finite elements.The results show that the use of the present modeling technique allows the computational cost to be reduced with respect to the classical approaches preserving the ccuracy of the results in the critical areas.

文摘Existing sugarcane planters are difficult to have ideal seeding trajectory and motion attitude at the same time, and the speed is difficult to meet the requirements at the critical stage, resulting in poor stability, which ultimately makes it impossible to ensure that the sugarcane seeding is carried out in accordance with the agronomic requirements to ensure that the cane buds are oriented toward the wall of the seeding trench. Aiming at the second-order non-circular planetary gear system pendulum seeding mechanism of the planter, the paper innovatively adopts the combination of inverse design and multi-objective layered accurate optimization to solve the problems of attitude, speed and trajectory that do not meet the requirements of fixed-attitude seeding that still exists in the process of sugarcane seeding. The second-order non-circular planetary gear system is simplified into a three-rod two-degree-of-freedom mechanism, and the radius of the pitch curve of each non-circular gear is solved inversely by actively preplanning the static trajectory of the cane seed motion and analyzing the law of motion of the rod assembly. Determining the range of cane seed attitude angles in different motion phases as the first layer optimization objective, and fine-tuning the position of static trajectory key type value points to achieve the first layer optimization. Based on the non-circular gear pitch curve obtained from optimization, the interpolation points are marked on each non-circular gear pitch curve of the second-order non-circular planetary gear system, and based on the parameter optimization method of human-computer interaction, the radius values corresponding to the interpolation points of the non-circular gear pitch curve are fine-tuned to optimize the pitch curves, so as to satisfy the speed requirements of the cane species in each stage, and at the same time to make the convexity of non-circular gears in line with the principle of gear mesh, so as to complete the second layer of accurate optimization. The results of simulation verification show that the motion trajectory attitude of the virtual prototype is basically consistent with the theoretical model, which verifies the feasibility of the mechanism design. This study provides a new optimized design method for the cane seeding mechanism of sugarcane planters to achieve directional seeding.

文摘Due to excellent thermal insulation performance at room temperature and ultralow density,silica aero-gels are candidates for thermal insulation.However,at high temperatures,the thermal insulation prop-erty of silica aerogels decreased greatly caused by transparency to heat radiation.Opacifiers introduced into silica sol can block heat radiation yet destroy the uniformity of aerogels.Herein,we designed and prepared a silica aerogel composite with oriented and layered silica fibers(SFs),SiC nanowires(SiC_(NWs)),and silica aerogels,which were prepared by papermaking,chemical vapor infiltration(CVI),and sol-gel respectively.Firstly,oriented and layered SFs made still air a wall to block heat transfer by the solid phase.Secondly,SiC_(NWs) were grown in situ on the surface of SFs evenly to weave into the network,and the network reduced the gaseous thermal conductivity by dividing cracks in SFs/SiC_(NWs)/SA.Thirdly,SiC_(NWs) weakened the heat transfer by radiation at high temperatures.Therefore,SFs/SiC_(NWs)/SA presented remarkable thermal insulation(0.017 W(m K)^(-1) at 25℃,0.0287 W(m K)^(-1) at 500℃,and 0.094 W(m K)^(-1) at 1000℃).Besides,SFs/SiC_(NWs)/SA exhibited remarkable thermal stability(no size transform after being heat treated at 1000℃ for 1800 s)and tensile strength(0.75 MPa).These integrated properties made SFs/SiC_(NWs)/SA a promising candidate for highly efficient thermal insulators.
