This is closely related to pile driving, aircraft wheel loading and mining activities. To understand the response of calcareous sand at HSRs, a series of dynamic tests is performed using the split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB) with steel sleeve, including 6 validation tests of bar-against-bar and 16 comparative tests relevant to the relative density and strain rate of calcareous and silica sands.The apparent dynamic stiffness of calcareous sand is approximately 10% of that for silica sand due to different particle shapes and mineral compositions. The axial stress-strain response of silica sand is mainly governed by the deformation of individual grain and soil skeleton, and particle crushing. However, porous calcareous sand shows yielding and strain-hardening responses that are always followed by particle crushing. As the applied loading increases, the particle crushing of calcareous sand develops from local instability to whole breakage. Calcareous sand has lower viscous flow effects compared with silica sand at HSRs.展开更多

The SA508-III RPV steel was subjected to tension tests at different strain rates （1.1× 10-5 s-1 and 6.6× 10-5 s-1） and different temperatures （500 and 550 ℃） to evaluate the influence of strain rate and temperature on the serrated flow behavior, which is the repetitive and discontinuous yielding phenomenon on the stress-strain curves. The higher temperature leads to the higher density of precipitates, M23C6 carbides and needle-like Mo2C carbides. It was found that the samples under tension test of 6.6 × 10-5 s-1 and 500 ℃ possess superior mechanical properties and mainly show A-type serrations on the tension test curves. Then, the local regress method was used to filter the DSA curves, thus to show the real trend of the curves. It has been found that the less time of interaction between dislocations and precipitates under higher strain rates leads to a higher strength of the sample. The more tiny-stress drops on the 550 ℃ serration curve can be attributed to the hardening phase, M23C6 carbides and needle-like Mo2C carbides. The higher percentage of the small stress drops on the serration curves represents the higher mechanical strength.展开更多

However, the mechanisms through which pressure influences the hydrodynamic behavior of different particle types remain insufficiently explored, hindering the scale-up, optimization, and broader adoption of this technology. To address this gap, CFD-DEM simulations were performed on a pseudo-2D pressurized bubbling fluidized bed using Geldart B and D particles. The effects of pressure, particle size, and initial bed height on key flow characteristics, including minimum fluidization velocity, particle dynamics (i.e., particle velocity and volume fraction distribution), and bubble behavior (i.e., bubble diameter, aspect ratio, density) were comprehensively examined. Results showed that the minimum fluidization velocity decreases with increasing pressure and increases with particle size, with greater sensitivity at lower pressures. Higher pressures lead to smaller bubble diameters, higher bubble aspect ratios, and denser bubble populations, resulting in concentrated particle distribution in the lower bed and more uniform radial dispersion. In contrast, larger particles create fewer, larger bubbles or slugs, and increase the overall bed height. These high-fidelity simulations offer valuable insights for optimizing the performance of pressurized fluidized beds in industrial processes.展开更多

文摘In the present paper,more attention is paid to develop a new optical measurement approach of split-Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)and wave propagation inverse analysis(WPIA)by using multi-channel photonic Doppler velocimetry(PDV).Based on the particle velocities measured by PDV,the dynamic stress-strain curve of material is obtained in SHPB tests.The strain is determined by the radial particle velocity of specimen,and the stress is determined by the free surface particle velocity of the transmit ted bar.The results obtained by the new method coincide with those obtained by the conventional strain gauge measurements.The new method is non-intrusive and insensitive to electrical noise,making it significantly more reliable than strain gauges.Using the oblique incidence of laser beam,a series of particle velocity wave propagation signals for long rod specimen are measured simultaneously.Based on the measurements of particle velocity profile,the dynamic constitutive response of polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA)is det ermined by WPIA method.The comparison bet ween the dynamic st ress-s train curve and the quasi-static one indicates that the strain-rate effect must be taken into account for PMMA.

文摘Many geological engineering hazards are closely related to the dynamic mechanical properties of rock materials.However,most existing studies on the dynamic mechanical properties of rock materials were conducted on the hard rocks such as sandstone,granite,limestone,and marble,whereas soft rocks,such as schist,are less studied.Therefore,in this study,a series of triaxial impact tests were conducted on dry and saturated schist by employing a modified triaxial split Hopkinson pressure bar system to reveal the coupling effects of water,strain rate,and triaxial confining pressure on the mechanical properties of schist.The results show that schist is a type of watersensitive rock and the stress-strain curve of saturated schist has apparent ductility.The effects of strain rate on dynamic strain,deformation modulus and peak stress were analyzed.The results also show that the dynamic peak stress is affected by the combined softening effect and viscous effect of water under impact loading.Finally,it was found that the failure mode of schist belongs to typical axial tensile failure under uniaxial impact tests,and shear failure is the main failure mode under triaxial impact tests.With the increase in confining pressure,the failure modes of schist change from tensile failure to shear failure.This research can provide useful parameters for geological engineering hazard prevention in mountain areas.

文摘This paper presents a new FRP retrofi tting scheme to strengthen local beam-column joints in reinforced concrete(RC) frames.The new retrofi tting scheme was proposed following a preliminary study of four different existing retrofi tting schemes.A numerical simulation was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of FRP-strengthened reinforced concrete frames by bridging behavior of local joints to the whole structure.Local confi nement effects due to varying retrofi tting schemes in the joints were simulated in the frame model.The seismic behavior factor was used to evaluate the seismic performance of the strengthened RC frames.The results demonstrated that the new proposed retrofi tting scheme was robust and promising,and fi nite element analysis appropriately captured the strength and global ductility of the frame due to upgrading of the local joints.

文摘Pressurized fluidized beds have gained considerable interest in industrial applications due to their superior performance and efficiency compared to atmospheric fluidized beds. However, the mechanisms through which pressure influences the hydrodynamic behavior of different particle types remain insufficiently explored, hindering the scale-up, optimization, and broader adoption of this technology. To address this gap, CFD-DEM simulations were performed on a pseudo-2D pressurized bubbling fluidized bed using Geldart B and D particles. The effects of pressure, particle size, and initial bed height on key flow characteristics, including minimum fluidization velocity, particle dynamics (i.e., particle velocity and volume fraction distribution), and bubble behavior (i.e., bubble diameter, aspect ratio, density) were comprehensively examined. Results showed that the minimum fluidization velocity decreases with increasing pressure and increases with particle size, with greater sensitivity at lower pressures. Higher pressures lead to smaller bubble diameters, higher bubble aspect ratios, and denser bubble populations, resulting in concentrated particle distribution in the lower bed and more uniform radial dispersion. In contrast, larger particles create fewer, larger bubbles or slugs, and increase the overall bed height. These high-fidelity simulations offer valuable insights for optimizing the performance of pressurized fluidized beds in industrial processes.
