Its frequency is constantly increasing. The locked anterior plate with its well-established biomechanical properties, offers a reliable alternative. The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological, the functional results and to determine the factors of poor postoperative prognosis of DRF treated with Newclip radial plates®. Methodology: This prospective cohort study evaluates the radiological and functional outcames of displaced radius fractures (DRFs) in patients ≥50 years old treated with Newclip® (locked anterior plates) at the Basse-Terre Hospital in Guadeloupe from 2022 to 2024. The patients were categorized into those with epiphyseal involvement (E1 - E4) and without epiphyseal involvement (E0) based on Laulan’s MEU classification. Radiological parameters (distal radio-ulnar index (DRUI), radial inclination frant view (IRF), radial inclination sagittal view (IRS) were assessed pre and post-operatively. Functional recovery was evaluated at 12 months using the QuickDash questionnaire. Results: Falls were the most common cause of fracture. Post-operatively, SRI was the least restored parameter. Poor prognostic factor for SRI improvement included posterior commimution and unstable fractures. Factors associated with higher QuickDash scores included unstable factures, unrestored DRUI, low plate position, metaphyseal features, and ulnar features. Conclusion: The anterior locking plate osteosynthesis is reliable treatment option with excellent functional outcomes.展开更多

文摘Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis(PEMWE)is one of the most promising strategies to pro-duce green hydrogen energy,and it is crucial to exploit highly conductive and good corrosion-resistant coatings on bipolar plates(BPs),one of the core components in PEMWE cells.In this work,NbN coatings are deposited on Ti BPs by magnetron sputtering to improve the corrosion resistance and conductivity,for which the critical process parameters,such as the working pressure,partial nitrogen pressure and de-position temperature are well optimized.It is found that the compact microstructure,highly conductive δ-NbN and uniform nanoparticles play a dominant role in the synergistic improvement of the corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity of NbN coatings.The optimized NbN coatings exhibit excellent cor-rosion resistance with the low corrosion current density of 1.1×10^(-8) A cm^(-2),a high potential value of-0.005 V vs.SCE and a low ICR value of 15.8 mΩcm2@1.5 MPa.Accordingly,NbN coatings can be a promising candidate for the development of the low-cost and high-anti-corrosion Ti BPs of PEMWE.

文摘Because of the challenge of compounding lightweight,high-strength Ti/Al alloys due to their considerable disparity in properties,Al 6063 as intermediate layer was proposed to fabricate TC4/Al 6063/Al 7075 three-layer composite plate by explosive welding.The microscopic properties of each bonding interface were elucidated through field emission scanning electron microscope and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD).A methodology combining finite element method-smoothed particle hydrodynamics(FEM-SPH)and molecular dynamics(MD)was proposed for the analysis of the forming and evolution characteristics of explosive welding interfaces at multi-scale.The results demonstrate that the bonding interface morphologies of TC4/Al 6063 and Al 6063/Al 7075 exhibit a flat and wavy configuration,without discernible defects or cracks.The phenomenon of grain refinement is observed in the vicinity of the two bonding interfaces.Furthermore,the degree of plastic deformation of TC4 and Al 7075 is more pronounced than that of Al 6063 in the intermediate layer.The interface morphology characteristics obtained by FEM-SPH simulation exhibit a high degree of similarity to the experimental results.MD simulations reveal that the diffusion of interfacial elements predominantly occurs during the unloading phase,and the simulated thickness of interfacial diffusion aligns well with experimental outcomes.The introduction of intermediate layer in the explosive welding process can effectively produce high-quality titanium/aluminum alloy composite plates.Furthermore,this approach offers a multi-scale simulation strategy for the study of explosive welding bonding interfaces.

文摘7039 Al alloys are widely used in armor vehicles,given the material’s high specific strength and fracture toughness.However,laminar tearing in the thickness plane of the base metal(BM),specifically in the normal direction(ND)and rolling direction(RD)plane,was occasionally observed after the welding of thick plates,resulting in premature material failure.A vertically metal-inert gas(MIG)-welded laminar tearing component of a 30 mm thick plate was analyzed to determine the factors associated with this phenomenon.The texture,residual stress,microhardness,and tensile properties were also investigated.The results indicated that the crack extended along the RD as a transcrystalline fracture and terminated at the BM.The grains near the crack grew preferentially in the(001)crystal direction.Furthermore,the tensile strength(83 MPa)and elongation(6.8%)in the RD were relatively higher than those in the ND.In particular,the primary factors for crack initiation include stronger texture,higher dislocation density,increased Al_(7)Cu_(2)Fe phases,lower proportion of small-angle grain boundaries,and varying grain sizes in different regions,leading to the fragile microstructure.The higher residual stress of the BM promotes the formation and extension of cracks.The restraining force due to fixation and welding shrinkage force transformed the crack into laminar tearing.Preventive measures of laminar tearing were also proposed.

文摘In this paper,the work hardening and softening behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets by hard plate accumulative roll bonding(HP-ARB)process in a specific temperature range was studied for the first time,and the cyclic stress relaxation test,EBSD,TEM and other characterization methods were used.When the rolling temperature is 350℃,the grain size of magnesium sheets is refined to 4.32(±0.36)μm on average,and it shows an excellent combination of strength and plasticity.The tensile strength reaches 307(±8.52)MPa and the elongation is 12.73(±0.84)%.At this time,the curve of work hardening rate decreases smoothly and the degree of hardening is the lowest,and the amplitude of stress drop △σ_(p) in work softening test is the smallest with the increase of cycle times,which shows that the well coordination between work hardening and softening behavior has been achieved.Research has found that the combined effect of grain boundary strengthening and fine grain strengthening enhances the yield and tensile strength of magnesium sheets after three passes HP-ARB process at 350℃.This is attributed to the high degree of dislocation slip opening in the pyramidal surfaceand<c+a>,which not only coordinates the c-axis strain of the entire grain,but also promotes the slip transfer of dislocations in the fine-grained region,significantly improving the elongation of the sheets.This study provides a new idea for the forming and manufacturing of high performance magnesium alloy sheets.

文摘For the first time,the linear and nonlinear vibrations of composite rectangular sandwich plates with various geometric patterns of lattice core have been analytically examined in this work.The plate comprises a lattice core located in the middle and several homogeneous orthotropic layers that are symmetrical relative to it.For this purpose,the partial differential equations of motion have been derived based on the first-order shear deformation theory,employing Hamilton’s principle and Von Kármán’s nonlinear displacement-strain relations.Then,the nonlinear partial differential equations of the plate are converted into a time-dependent nonlinear ordinary differential equation(Duffing equation)by applying the Galerkin method.From the solution of this equation,the natural frequencies are extracted.Then,to calculate the non-linear frequencies of the plate,the non-linear equation of the plate has been solved analytically using the method of multiple scales.Finally,the effect of some critical parameters of the system,such as the thickness,height,and different angles of the stiffeners on the linear and nonlinear frequencies,has been analyzed in detail.To confirmthe solution method,the results of this research have been compared with the reported results in the literature and finite elements in ABAQUS,and a perfect match is observed.The results reveal that the geometry and configuration of core ribs strongly affect the natural frequencies of the plate.

文摘A typical Whipple shield consists of double-layered plates with a certain gap.The space debris impacts the outer plate and is broken into a debris cloud(shattered,molten,vaporized)with dispersed energy and momentum,which reduces the risk of penetrating the bulkhead.In the realm of hypervelocity impact,strain rate(>10^(5)s^(-1))effects are negligible,and fluid dynamics is employed to describe the impact process.Efficient numerical tools for precisely predicting the damage degree can greatly accelerate the design and optimization of advanced protective structures.Current hypervelocity impact research primarily focuses on the interaction between projectile and front plate and the movement of debris cloud.However,the damage mechanism of debris cloud impacts on rear plates-the critical threat component-remains underexplored owing to complex multi-physics processes and prohibitive computational costs.Existing approaches,ranging from semi-empirical equations to a machine learningbased ballistic limit prediction method,are constrained to binary penetration classification.Alternatively,the uneven data from experiments and simulations caused these methods to be ineffective when the projectile has irregular shapes and complicate flight attitude.Therefore,it is urgent to develop a new damage prediction method for predicting the rear plate damage,which can help to gain a deeper understanding of the damage mechanism.In this study,a machine learning(ML)method is developed to predict the damage distribution in the rear plate.Based on the unit velocity space,the discretized information of debris cloud and rear plate damage from rare simulation cases is used as input data for training the ML models,while the generalization ability for damage distribution prediction is tested by other simulation cases with different attack angles.The results demonstrate that the training and prediction accuracies using the Random Forest(RF)algorithm significantly surpass those using Artificial Neural Networks(ANNs)and Support Vector Machine(SVM).The RF-based model effectively identifies damage features in sparsely distributed debris cloud and cumulative effect.This study establishes an expandable new dataset that accommodates additional parameters to improve the prediction accuracy.Results demonstrate the model's ability to overcome data imbalance limitations through debris cloud features,enabling rapid and accurate rear plate damage prediction across wider scenarios with minimal data requirements.

文摘How the subduction direction of the Paleo-Pacific plate beneath the Eurasian plate changes in the Early Cretaceous remains highly controversial due to the disappearance of the subducted oceanic plate.Intraplate deformation structures in the east Asian continent,however,provide excellent opportunities for reconstructing paleostress fields in continental interior in relation to the Paleo-Pacific/Eurasian plate interaction.Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility(AMS),geological,and geochronological analyses of post-kinematic mafic dykes intruding the detachment fault zone of the Wulian metamorphic core complex(WL MCC)in Jiaodong Peninsula exemplify emplacement of mantle-sourced dykes in a WNW-ESE(301°-121°)oriented tectonic extensional setting at ca.120 Ma.In combination with the results from our previous kinematic analysis of the MCC,a ca.21°clockwise change in the direction of intraplate extension is obtained for early(135-122 Ma)extensional exhumation of the MCC to late(122-108 Ma)emplacement of the dykes.Such a change is suggested to be related to the variation in subduction direction of the Paleo-Pacific plate beneath the Eurasian plate,from westward(pre-122 Ma)to west-northwestward(post-122 Ma).

文摘TaN coatings were deposited on Ti bipolar plates by magnetron sputtering to improve corrosion resistance and service life.The influence of N_(2) flow rate on the surface morphology,hydrophobicity,crystallinity,corrosion resistance,and interfacial contact resistance of TaN coatings was studied.Results show that as the N_(2) flow rate increases,the roughness of TaN coatings decreases firstly and then increases,and the hydrophobicity increases firstly and then decreases.At the N_(2) flow rate of 3 mL/min,TaN coating with larger grain size presents lower roughness and high hydrophobicity.The coating possesses the lowest corrosion current density of 2.82µA·cm^(−2) and the highest corrosion potential of−0.184 V vs.SCE in the simulated proton exchange membrane water electrolyser environment.After a potentiostatic polarization test for 10 h,a few corrosion pits are observed on the TaN coatings deposited at an N_(2) flow rate of 3 mL/min.After 75 h of electrolytic water performance testing,the TaN coating on bipolar plate improves the corrosion resistance and thus enhances the electrolysis efficiency(68.87%),greatly reducing the cost of bipolar plates.
文摘A theoretical analysis on the perforation of Weldox 460E steel plates struck by flat-nosed projectiles is presented using a previously developed model within a unified framework.This model contains a dimensionless empirical equation to describe the variation of energy absorbed through global deformation as a function of impact velocity.The study further investigates the energy absorption mechanisms of Weldox 460E steel plates,with particular focus on the“plateau”phenomenon,i.e.,limited increase in ballistic limit with increasing plate thickness.This phenomenon is explained and compared with results from previously studied 2024-T351 aluminium plates.The model predictions agree well with experimental data for Weldox 460E steel plates impacted by flat-nosed projectiles,including:relationship between global deformation and impact velocity,ballistic limit,residual velocity,and critical conditions for the transition of failure modes.Moreover,the model effectively predicts the“plateau”phenomenon observed in intermediate plate thickness range.It is also found that the indentation absorption energy contributes a significantly larger fraction of the total absorption energy in Weldox 460E steel plates perforated by flat-nosed projectiles than in 2024-T351 aluminium plates,due to the differences in material properties.
文摘To investigate the effects of surface morphology on properties of carbon coatings on proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC)Ti bipolar plate,scanning electron microscope(SEM)and confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM)were used for characterization and analysis of different Ti foils.Physical vapor deposition(PVD)and chemical vapor deposition(CVD)were used to fabricate the carbon coatings on different Ti foils with same procedure.The initial contact resistance test results show that the contact resistance of the carbon coating on different Ti foils are nearly same.The electrochemical test results show that the 3#titanium foil coating with greater surface fluctuation has a lower corrosion current density,but the accelerated corrosion results show that the 1#and 2#titanium foil coatings with less surface fluctuation had the lower contact resistance and better durability.In conclusion,the results show that titanium foils with greater surface fluctuations are prone to produce more nucleation sites in growth of coatings,and the as-prepared carbon coating exhibited lower corrosion current density.But the coatings show lower durability due to the internal stress.According to results of potentialdynamic polarization and ICR tests,carbon coating with less surface defects and crack shows better durability in CVD procedure,and the carbon coating with flattened surface shows better durability in PVD procedure.

文摘High-performance pure nickel N6/steel 45#composite plate(N6/45#)was prepared using explosive welding technique.The microstructure of the interface and nearby regions was characterized and analyzed by optical microscope,scanning electron microscope,electron backscatter diffraction,and mechanical property testing,and the microstructural features and mechanical properties of the explosive welding interface were explored.The results show that along the direction of explosive welding,the pure nickel N6/steel 45#composite plate interface gradually evolves from a flat bond to a typical wavy bond.The grains at the crests and troughs exhibit high heterogeneity,and the closer to the interface,the finer the grains.Recrystallization and low-stress deformation bands are formed at the bonding interface.Nanoindentation tests reveal that plastic deformation occurs in the interfacial bonding zone,and the nanohardness values in the crest regions are higher than that in the trough regions.The tensile strength of the N6/45#interface is 599.8 MPa,with an average shear strength of 326.3 MPa.No separation phenomenon is observed between N6 and 45#after the bending test.
文摘Background and Objectives: The distal radius fracture (DRF) is a major public health problem in northern countries. Its frequency is constantly increasing. The locked anterior plate with its well-established biomechanical properties, offers a reliable alternative. The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological, the functional results and to determine the factors of poor postoperative prognosis of DRF treated with Newclip radial plates®. Methodology: This prospective cohort study evaluates the radiological and functional outcames of displaced radius fractures (DRFs) in patients ≥50 years old treated with Newclip® (locked anterior plates) at the Basse-Terre Hospital in Guadeloupe from 2022 to 2024. The patients were categorized into those with epiphyseal involvement (E1 - E4) and without epiphyseal involvement (E0) based on Laulan’s MEU classification. Radiological parameters (distal radio-ulnar index (DRUI), radial inclination frant view (IRF), radial inclination sagittal view (IRS) were assessed pre and post-operatively. Functional recovery was evaluated at 12 months using the QuickDash questionnaire. Results: Falls were the most common cause of fracture. Post-operatively, SRI was the least restored parameter. Poor prognostic factor for SRI improvement included posterior commimution and unstable fractures. Factors associated with higher QuickDash scores included unstable factures, unrestored DRUI, low plate position, metaphyseal features, and ulnar features. Conclusion: The anterior locking plate osteosynthesis is reliable treatment option with excellent functional outcomes.

文摘As a core power device in strategic industries such as new energy power generation and electric vehicles,the thermal reliability of IGBT modules directly determines the performance and lifetime of the whole system.A synergistic optimization structure of“inlet plate-channel spoiler columns”is proposed for the local hot spot problem during the operation of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(IGBT),combined with the inherent defect of uneven flow distribution of the traditional U-type liquid cooling plate in this paper.The influences of the shape,height(H),and spacing from the spoiler column(b)of the plate on the comprehensive heat dissipation performance of the liquid cooling plate are analyzed at different Reynolds numbers,A dual heat source strategy is introduced and the effect of the optimized structure is evaluated by the temperature inhomogeneity coefficient(Φ).The results show that the optimum effect is achieved when the shape of the plate is square,H=4.5 mm,b=2 mm,and u=0.05 m/s,at which the HTPE=1.09 and Φ are reduced by 40%.In contrast,the maximum temperatures of the IGBT and the FWD(Free Wheeling Diode)chips are reduced by 8.7 and 8.4 K,respectively,and ΔP rises by only 1.58 Pa while keeping ΔT not significantly increased.This optimized configuration achieves a significant reduction in the critical chip temperature and optimization of the flow field uniformity with almost no change in the system flow resistance.It breaks through the limitation of single structure optimization of the traditional liquid cooling plate and effectively solves the problem of uneven flow in the U-shaped cooling plate,which provides a new solution with important engineering value for the thermal management of IGBT modules.
