And free energy, microstructures, compositions and volume fractions of pre-precipitation phase and equilibrium phase were analyzed. The simulation results indicate that nonstoichiometric Llo pre-precipitation phase formed first, and then would gradually transform into L12 equilibrium phase. It is discovered that the phase transformation process was closely related to free energy and interatomic potentials. Additionally, it is revealed that free energy of Llo pre-precipitation phase was higher and interatomic potential was smaller than that of L12 equilibrium phase. Therefore, it is concluded that Llo phase was unstable, and phase transformation would occur to L12 which was more stable.展开更多

The concentration distribution at solid-liquid boundary of binary alloy Ni-Cu was simulated using phase field model coupled with flow field. The microsegregation, concentration maximum value, boundary thickness of concentration near upstream dendrite and normal to flow dendrite, and downstream dendrite were studied quantitatively in the case of forced lamia flow. The simulation results show that solute field and flow field interact complexly. Compared with melt without flow, in front of upstream dendrite tip, the concentration boundary thickness is the lowest and the concentration maximum value is the smallest for melt with flow. However, in front of downstream dendrite tip, the results are just the opposite. The zone of poor Cu in upstream dendrite where is the most severely microsegregation and shrinkage cavity is wider and the concentration is lower for melt with flow than that without flow.展开更多

The effects of mesh grid, anisotropy, supersaturation and fold symmetry on dendrite growth morphology were investigated, respectively. These results indicate that the nucleus grows into a hexagonal symmetry faceted dendrite. When the mesh grid is above 640×640, the size has no much effect on the shape. With the increase in the anisotropy value, the tip velocities of faceted dendrite increase and reach a balance value, and then decrease gradually. With the increase in the supersaturation value, crystal evolves from circle to the developed faceted dendrite morphology. Based on the Wulff theory and faceted symmetry morphology diagram, the proposed model was proved to be effective, and it can be generalized to arbitrary crystal symmetries.展开更多

Debris flow was simplified as two-phase liquid composed of solid phase with the same diameter particles and liquid phase with the same mechanical features. Assume debris flow was one-dimension two-phase liquid moving to one direction, then general equations of velocities of solid phase and liquid phase were founded in two-phase theory. Methods to calculate average pressures, volume forces and surface forces of debris flow control volume were established.

The load capacity of vectored mechanism and propellers are always limited by the weight and strength, which bring challenges for the attitude controller. In this paper, the yaw channel of airship dynamics is firstly rewritten as a simplified two-order dynamics equation and the dynamic charac- teristics is analyzed with a phase plane method. Analysis shows that when ignoring damping, the yaw control channel is available to the minimum principle of Pontryagin for optimal control, which can obtain a Bang-Bang controller. But under this controller, the control output could he bouncing around the theoretical switch curve due to the presence of disturbance and damping, which makes adverse effects for the servo structure. Considering the structure requirements of actuators, a phase plane method controller is employed, with a dead zone surrounded by several phase switch curve. Thus, the controller outputs are limited to finite values. Finally, through the numerical simulation and actual flight experiment, the method is proved to be effective.展开更多

Na2SO4 in the composite acts as a latent heat storage substance for solid-liquid phase change, while SiO2 acts as a support material to provide structural strength and prevent leakage of melted NazSO4. The microstructure and composition of the prepared composite were characterized by the N2 adsorption, transmission electron microscope （TEM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the prepared Na2SOJSiO2 composite is a nanostructured hybrid of NazSO4 and SiO2 without new substances produced during the phase change. The macroscopic shape of the NazSO4/SiO2 composite after the melting and freezing cycles does not change and there is no leakage of Na2SO4. Determined by differential scanning calorimeter （DSC） analysis, the values of phase change latent heat of melting and freezing of the prepared NazSO4/SiO2 （50%, by mass） composite are 82.3 kJ.kg i and 83.7 kJ.kg-1, and temperatures of melting and freezing are 886.0 ℃ and 880.6 ℃, respectively. Furthermore, the Na2SOJSiO2 composite maintains good thermal energy storage and release ability even after 100 cycles of melting and freezing. The satisfactory thermal storage performance renders this composite a versatile tool for high-temperature thermal energy storage.展开更多

But polycrystalline materials predominate in engineering. In this work, a phase field model for multigrain solidification is developed, which takes into account the random crystallographic orientations of crystallites and preserves the rotational invariance of the free energy. The morphological evolution of equiaxial multigrain solidification is predicted and the effect of composition on transformation kinetics is studied. The numerical results indicate that due to the soft impingement of grains the Avrami exponent varies with the initial melt composition and the solidification fraction.展开更多

The simulation results show that a crystal nucleus grows into a symmetric dendrite in a free flow and into an asymmetry dendrite in a forced flow. As the forced flow velocity is increased, both of the promoting effect on the upstream arm and the inhibiting effects on the downstream and perpendicular arms are intensified, and the perpendicular arm tilts to the upstream direction. With increasing the anisotropy value to 0.14, all of the dendrite arms tip velocities are gradually stabilized and finally reach their relative saturation values. In addition, the effects of an undercooling parameter and a forced compound flow on the faceted dendrite growth were also investigated.展开更多

Different from the classical least squares method using all data, the points with noise will not be used to fit the plane in the proposed RANSAC method, which improves the accuracy of plane fitting. The proposed method suits for any two-dimensional(2D) calibration patterns, such as checkerboard or black dots with white background, which improves the flexibility of camera-projector system calibration.展开更多

文摘In this paper,the liquid–vapor phase separation under viscous shear is investigated by using a pseudopotential central moment lattice Boltzmann method.Physically,the multiphase shear flow is governed by two competing mechanisms:surface tension and shear force.It is interesting to find that the liquid tends to form a droplet when the surface tension dominates under conditions of low temperature,shear velocity,and viscosity,and in larger domain size.Otherwise,the liquid tends to form a band if shear force dominates.Moreover,the average density gradient is used as a physical criterion to distinguish the spinodal decomposition and domain growth.Both spatial and temporal changes of density are studied during the phase separation under shear.

文摘The two-phase flow in porous media is affected by multiple factors.In the present study,a two-dimensional numerical model of porous media was developed using the actual pore structure of the core sample.The phase field method was utilized to simulate the impact of displacement velocity,the water-gas viscosity ratio,and the density ratio on the flow behavior of two-phase fluids in porous media.The effectiveness of displacement was evaluated by analyzing CO_(2)saturation levels.The results indicate that the saturation of CO_(2)in porous media increased as the displacement velocity increased.When the displacement velocity exceeded 0.01 m/s,there was a corresponding increase in CO_(2)saturation.Conversely,when the displacement velocity was below this threshold,the impact on CO_(2)saturation was minimal.An“inflection point,”M3,was present in the viscosity ratio.When the viscosity of CO_(2)is less than 8.937×10^(-5)Pa·s(viscosity ratio below M3),variations in the viscosity of CO_(2)had little impact on its saturation.Conversely,when the viscosity of CO_(2)exceeded 8.937×10^(-5)Pa·s(viscosity ratio greater than M3),saturation increased with an increase in the viscosity ratio.In terms of the density ratio,the saturation of CO_(2)increased monotonically with an increase in the density ratio.Similarly,increasing density ratios resulted in a monotonic increase in CO_(2)saturation,though this trend was less pronounced in numerical simulations.Analysis results of displacement within dead-end pores using pressure and velocity diagrams reveal eddy currents as contributing factors.Finally,the impact of pore throat structure on the formation of dominant channels was examined.

文摘The morphing technology of hypersonic vehicle improved the flight performance by changing aerodynamic characteristics with shape deformations,but the design of guidance and control system with morphing laws remained to be explored.An Integrated of Guidance,Control and Morphing(IGCM)method for Hypersonic Morphing Vehicle(HMV)was developed in this paper.The IGCM method contributed to an effective solution of morphing characteristic to improve flight performance and reject the disturbance for guidance and control system caused by the morphing system for HMV in gliding phase.The IGCM models were established based on the motion models and aerodynamic models of the variable span vehicle.Then the IGCM method was designed by adaptive block dynamic surface back-stepping method with stability proof.The parallel controlled simulations’results showed the effectiveness in accomplishing the flight mission of IGCM method in glide phase with smaller terminal errors.The velocity loss of HMV was reduced by 32.8%which inferred less flight time and larger terminal flight velocity than invariable span vehicle.Under the condition of large deviations of aerodynamic parameters and atmospheric density,the robustness of IGCM method with variable span was verified.
文摘A new method for array calibration of array gain and phase uncertainties, which severely degrade the performance of spatial spectrum estimation, is presented. The method is based on the idea of the instrumental sensors method （ISM）, two well-calibrated sensors are added into the original array. By applying the principle of estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques （ESPRIT）, the direction-of-arrivals （DOAs） and uncertainties can be estimated simultaneously through eigen-decomposition. Compared with the conventional ones, this new method has less computational complexity while has higher estimation precision, what＇s more, it can overcome the problem of ambiguity. Both theoretical analysis and computer simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘A sodium sulfate （NaeSO4）/silica （SiO2） composite was prepared as a shape-stabilized solid-liquid phase change material by a sol-gel procedure using Na2SiO3 as the silica source. Na2SO4 in the composite acts as a latent heat storage substance for solid-liquid phase change, while SiO2 acts as a support material to provide structural strength and prevent leakage of melted NazSO4. The microstructure and composition of the prepared composite were characterized by the N2 adsorption, transmission electron microscope （TEM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the prepared Na2SOJSiO2 composite is a nanostructured hybrid of NazSO4 and SiO2 without new substances produced during the phase change. The macroscopic shape of the NazSO4/SiO2 composite after the melting and freezing cycles does not change and there is no leakage of Na2SO4. Determined by differential scanning calorimeter （DSC） analysis, the values of phase change latent heat of melting and freezing of the prepared NazSO4/SiO2 （50%, by mass） composite are 82.3 kJ.kg i and 83.7 kJ.kg-1, and temperatures of melting and freezing are 886.0 ℃ and 880.6 ℃, respectively. Furthermore, the Na2SOJSiO2 composite maintains good thermal energy storage and release ability even after 100 cycles of melting and freezing. The satisfactory thermal storage performance renders this composite a versatile tool for high-temperature thermal energy storage.

文摘To overcome the difficulties of re-meshing and tracking the crack-tip in other computational methods for crack propagation simulations,the phase field method based on the minimum energy principle is introduced by defining a continuous phase field variable(x)∈[0,1]to characterize discontinuous cracks in brittle materials.This method can well describe the crack initiation and propagation without assuming the shape,size and orientation of the initial crack in advance.In this paper,a phase field method based on Miehe's approach[Miehe et al.,Comp.Meth.App.Mech.Eng.(2010)]is applied to simulate different crack propagation problems in twodimensional(2D),isotropic and linear elastic materials.The numerical implementation of the phase field method is realized within the framework of the finite element method(FEM).The validity,accuracy and efficiency of the present method are verified by comparing the numerical results with other reference results in literature.Several numerical examples are presented to show the effects of the loading type(tension and shear),boundary conditions,and initial crack location and orientation on the crack propagation path and force-displacement curve.Furthermore,for a single edge-cracked bi-material specimen,the influences of the loading type and the crack location on the crack propagation trajectory and force-displacement curve are also investigated and discussed.It is demonstrated that the phase field method is an efficient tool for the numerical simulation of the crack propagation problems in brittle elastic materials,and the corresponding results may have an important relevance for predicting and preventing possible crack propagations in engineering applications.

文摘The Levenberg-Marquardt method, the best algorithm to obtain the least-square solution of nonlinear equations, is applied to calculate the stable phase equilibria. It can get the best combination between robustness and speed of the calculations. Its application to ternary AI-Si-Mg system is executed in detail. The calculated phase equilibria agree well with the experimental results. Furthermore, the Levenberg-Marquardt method is not sensitive to the initial values.

文摘The phase field method has been mainly used to simulate the growth of a single crystal in the past. But polycrystalline materials predominate in engineering. In this work, a phase field model for multigrain solidification is developed, which takes into account the random crystallographic orientations of crystallites and preserves the rotational invariance of the free energy. The morphological evolution of equiaxial multigrain solidification is predicted and the effect of composition on transformation kinetics is studied. The numerical results indicate that due to the soft impingement of grains the Avrami exponent varies with the initial melt composition and the solidification fraction.

文摘Numerical simulation based on a new regularized phase field model was presented to simulate the dendritic shape of a non-isothermal alloy with strong anisotropy in a forced flow. The simulation results show that a crystal nucleus grows into a symmetric dendrite in a free flow and into an asymmetry dendrite in a forced flow. As the forced flow velocity is increased, both of the promoting effect on the upstream arm and the inhibiting effects on the downstream and perpendicular arms are intensified, and the perpendicular arm tilts to the upstream direction. With increasing the anisotropy value to 0.14, all of the dendrite arms tip velocities are gradually stabilized and finally reach their relative saturation values. In addition, the effects of an undercooling parameter and a forced compound flow on the faceted dendrite growth were also investigated.
文摘The phase field method for fracture integrates the Griffith theory and damage mechanics approach to predict crack initiation and propagation within one framework.It replaced the discrete representation of crack by diffusive damage and solved it based on a minimization of the global energy storage functional.As a result,no crack tracking topology is needed,and complex crack shapes can be captures without user intervention.However,it is also reported to have an inconsistency between the predicted fracture toughness and the material strength.Recently,a novel energetic degradation function was proposed in literature to handle this issue.This research does some further modifications to the global energy storage functional so that Newton's method can be directly used to solve the energy minimization.With the new energy form,direct implementation of the length-scale independent phase field method into finite element packages like LS-DYNA becomes possible.This paper presents the framework and details of implementing the length-scale independent phase field method into LS-DYNA through a user-defined element and material subroutine.Several numerical examples are presented to compare with the experiment crack shape.Most importantly,this paper is one of the first ones to quantitatively predict accurate force response compared to experiments.These examples verify the accuracy of the new energy form and implementation.

文摘Aiming at the noise disturbance of unwrapping phases of control points in the camera-projector calibration system, a random sample consensus(RANSAC) based plane fitting method is proposed to filter the phase noise in this paper. Different from the classical least squares method using all data, the points with noise will not be used to fit the plane in the proposed RANSAC method, which improves the accuracy of plane fitting. The proposed method suits for any two-dimensional(2D) calibration patterns, such as checkerboard or black dots with white background, which improves the flexibility of camera-projector system calibration.
