The microstructure, thermal stability of intermetallic phases and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show that the alloy is composed of fine primary a-Mg dendrites and eutectic in the interdendritic regions. The intermetallic phases in eutectic are Aln（Ce,Y）3 and A12（Ce,Y） with the former being the dominant one. The thermal stability of Al11（ce,Y）3 is conditioned. It is basically stable at temperature up to 200℃ within 800 h, while most of the Al11（Ce,Y）3 intermetallics transform to A12（Ce,Y） at higher temperature of 450 ℃ for 800 h. The alloy exhibits remarkably improved strength both at room temperature and 200℃, which is mainly attributed to the reinforcement of dendrite boundaries with Alll（Ce,Y）3 intermetallics, small dendritic arm spacing effect as well as the solid solution strengthening with Y element.展开更多

However, the main defect is that α-phase is difficult to synthesize and easily transformed to β-phase Ni（OH）2 upon aging in a strong alkaline solution. In this study, the Al-Co, Al-Yb, Yb-Co and Al-Yb-Co multiple doping was used respectively. By controlling the amount of sodium carbonate, the α-Ni（OH）2 was prepared by ultrasonic-assisted precipitation. And the influence of sodium carbonate on the crystalline phase and structure stability for alpha nickel hydroxide was studied. The results demonstrate that, with increasing amount, the biphase nickel hydroxide transforms to pure alpha nickel hydroxide gradually, and the structure stability is also improved. When the amount of sodium carbonate is 2 g, the sample still keeps α-Ni（OH）2 after being aged for 30 days, for Al-Yb-Co-Ni（OH）2. And when the amount is less than 2 g, the phase transformations exist in the samples with different extents. These results demonstrated that the amount of sodium carbonate is a critical factor to maintain the structural stability of α-Ni（OH）2.展开更多

Various thinning intensities were applied in sample stands. We sampled eight plots in stands that were lightly thinned, eight plots in heavily thinned stands and eight plots in unthinned stands as a control. Height and diameter distributions of the stands were measured to assess stand structure. We quantified individual tree stability and collective stability. Heavy thinning during the first thinning operation damaged the storied structure of the stand in thicket stage and affected collective structuring ability. While most control plots had multi-storied stands, after light and heavy thinning two-storied structure became more common.Large gaps occurred in the canopy after heavy thinning. On average, nine tree collectives were formed per sampling plot in the untreated stand, seven collectives after thinning in 2008 and four collectives after thinning in 2009. Stable trees accounted for 17 % of trees in control plots, 24 % in lightly thinned plots, and 15 % in heavily thinned plots. Collective stability values were 83 % in control plots, 82 % in lightly thinned plots and 36 % in heavily thinned plots. We conclude that it is necessary to retain collective structuring capacity during thinning operations for sustaining stand stability.展开更多

Crystal data are as follows： monoclinic, space group Co, a = 14.0133（14）, b = 16.0409（16）, c = 30.372（3） A, β = 100.8950（10）°, V = 6704.1（12） A3, Dc = 1.364 g/cm3, Z = 8,μ（MoKa） = 0.704 mml, F（000） = 2840, the final R= 0.0552 and wR = 0.1431. In the crystal structure, the whole molecule consists of two copper ions, four 2-benzoylbenzoic acid molecules, two 2,2′-bipyridine molecules and two water molecules. Each central copper ion is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms from one 2,2′-bipyridine molecule and three oxygen atoms from two 2-benzoylbenzoic acids and one water molecule, respectively, giving a distorted tetragonal pyramidal geometry. Thermal stability properties of the complex were investigated.展开更多

The calculation results of the binding energy indicate Al13I cluster is more stable than Al13 cluster although its electrons are not a magic number as in Alia cluster, and among Al13I cluster isomers the ＂Bridge＂ structure is the most stable, the second is the ＂Ontop＂ structure, and the worst is the ＂Hollow＂ structure. By analyzing the geometrical structures of Al13I cluster isomers, it is found that after I atom and Al13 cluster combine the geometrical structures of Al13 moieties are changed besides Al13I Hollow cluster, in which the Alia moiety is still a regular icosahedron. For Al13I Ontop cluster, the Al13 moiety has a shrinking trend to I, whereas in Al13I Bridge cluster it is distorted. Mulliken population analysis shows for the interaction of electrons between Al-I atoms in Al13I cluster not only there exists an ionic bonding but there is a covalent bonding. Part of electrons in the Alia cluster transfer to I as Al13 cluster and I atom combine. The order of the strength of covalent bonding between Al13 moiety and I in Al13I cluster isomers is Al13IBridge〉Al13IHollow〉Al13I Ontop. Further analysis of electric structures of Al13 and Al13I clusters indicates a higher stability of Al13I cluster than Al13 cluster can be attributed to the s-p hybridization of 3s and 3p electrons of Al in Al13 moiety induced by 1 doped, which leads to fewer electrons N（EF） at EF in Al13I and a larger energy gap △EH-L between HOMO and LUMO levels in Al13I cluster. The distinguish of structural stability of Al13I cluster isomers mainly originates from their different magnitudes .in decrease of N（EF） and increase of △EH-L relative to Al13 cluster. The fewest N（EF） and the largest △EH-L are responsible for the high stability of Al13I Bridge cluster.展开更多

The structure is subjected to vertical dead and live loads in addition to the wave forces. An analysis of dynamic stability of the submerged structure without damping has been made by J. Thomas and Abbas (1980). In this paper the analyses of dynamic stability of the sumberged structure with damping are conducted. The case structure with damping is more complicated 'than the case without it. According to the principle of perturbation, a new model for dynamic stability calculation in consideration of damping effect is developed. In this paper, the formulas are deduced, the computational program is compiled, the practical examples are analysed, and this problem is solved very satisfactorily. The computational results show that the shape and value of the regions of dynamic instability can be changed significantly by damping. So only by considering damping can the property of dynamic stability of the submerged structure be reflected correctly.展开更多

Based on finite element analysis, deformation modes of double-hat structure under axial impact loading are categorized to find the main reasons that affect deformation stability. It is revealed that, in a double-hat structure, the location of the flanges is highly related to the deform- ation mode and energy absorbing efficiency. Moving the flanges away from their traditional mid-loca- tion may result in more regular and stable deformation mode and achieve higher energy absorbing ef- ficiency. The flange offset value needs to be controlled within a certain range, otherwise, the doub- le-hat structure would tend to deform like a top-hat structure and the energy absorbing efficiency could be compromised. These findings and analyses lead to a new structural design configuration- asymmetric flange locations--for enhancing the deformation mode stability in double-hat structures.展开更多

XRD results show that all the compounds have a main phase of hexagonal CaCu5-type crystal structure with small amount of impurity phases; increasing Tm content is associated with contraction of the hexagonal unit cell in the direction of the c axis and expansion of the a and b parameters. TMA results indicate that the Curie temperature（TC） of Sm1-xTmxCo5 compounds gets higher with the increase in Tm content.Magnetic measurements show that both the magnetic anisotropy field（HA） and the magnetization at an applied field of 7 T（M7 T） decrease with the increase of Tm content. However, the thermal stability of both the HAand M7 Tof all the Tm doped compounds is remarkably improved compared with that of the pure SmCo5 compound, leading to the result that both the M7 Tand HAof Sm0.8Tm0.2Co5 .2are higher than those of SmCo5 compound at 473 K, which indicates the good potential of Tm doped compound in the practical applications at elevated temperature.展开更多

文摘The structures of closo-hedral cluster (HAlNH)12 and endohedral complexes X@(HAlNH)12 (X = He, Ne, Ar, Kr) have been studied by using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The geometries, natural bond orbital (NBO), vibrational frequency, energetic parameters, magnetic shielding constants and nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS) were discussed. The potential surface of vip X shifting from the cage center to a face of six- membered ring was calculated at the same level. The exit transition state was demonstrated with IRC calculations. It is found that X@(HAlNH)12 complexes are dynamically stable, and Ne@(HAlNH)12 is more energetically favorable than the other complexes in thermodynamics.

文摘We studied relationships between stand structure and stand stability according to thinning intensity in an afforested oriental beech stand. Various thinning intensities were applied in sample stands. We sampled eight plots in stands that were lightly thinned, eight plots in heavily thinned stands and eight plots in unthinned stands as a control. Height and diameter distributions of the stands were measured to assess stand structure. We quantified individual tree stability and collective stability. Heavy thinning during the first thinning operation damaged the storied structure of the stand in thicket stage and affected collective structuring ability. While most control plots had multi-storied stands, after light and heavy thinning two-storied structure became more common.Large gaps occurred in the canopy after heavy thinning. On average, nine tree collectives were formed per sampling plot in the untreated stand, seven collectives after thinning in 2008 and four collectives after thinning in 2009. Stable trees accounted for 17 % of trees in control plots, 24 % in lightly thinned plots, and 15 % in heavily thinned plots. Collective stability values were 83 % in control plots, 82 % in lightly thinned plots and 36 % in heavily thinned plots. We conclude that it is necessary to retain collective structuring capacity during thinning operations for sustaining stand stability.

文摘Using first-principles pseudo-potential plane wave method, the energetics, geometrical and electronic structures of three Al13I cluster isomers were calculated. The calculation results of the binding energy indicate Al13I cluster is more stable than Al13 cluster although its electrons are not a magic number as in Alia cluster, and among Al13I cluster isomers the ＂Bridge＂ structure is the most stable, the second is the ＂Ontop＂ structure, and the worst is the ＂Hollow＂ structure. By analyzing the geometrical structures of Al13I cluster isomers, it is found that after I atom and Al13 cluster combine the geometrical structures of Al13 moieties are changed besides Al13I Hollow cluster, in which the Alia moiety is still a regular icosahedron. For Al13I Ontop cluster, the Al13 moiety has a shrinking trend to I, whereas in Al13I Bridge cluster it is distorted. Mulliken population analysis shows for the interaction of electrons between Al-I atoms in Al13I cluster not only there exists an ionic bonding but there is a covalent bonding. Part of electrons in the Alia cluster transfer to I as Al13 cluster and I atom combine. The order of the strength of covalent bonding between Al13 moiety and I in Al13I cluster isomers is Al13IBridge〉Al13IHollow〉Al13I Ontop. Further analysis of electric structures of Al13 and Al13I clusters indicates a higher stability of Al13I cluster than Al13 cluster can be attributed to the s-p hybridization of 3s and 3p electrons of Al in Al13 moiety induced by 1 doped, which leads to fewer electrons N（EF） at EF in Al13I and a larger energy gap △EH-L between HOMO and LUMO levels in Al13I cluster. The distinguish of structural stability of Al13I cluster isomers mainly originates from their different magnitudes .in decrease of N（EF） and increase of △EH-L relative to Al13 cluster. The fewest N（EF） and the largest △EH-L are responsible for the high stability of Al13I Bridge cluster.
文摘The submerged structure is basically a large three-dimensional structure of few statically redundant members. The structure is subjected to vertical dead and live loads in addition to the wave forces. An analysis of dynamic stability of the submerged structure without damping has been made by J. Thomas and Abbas (1980). In this paper the analyses of dynamic stability of the sumberged structure with damping are conducted. The case structure with damping is more complicated 'than the case without it. According to the principle of perturbation, a new model for dynamic stability calculation in consideration of damping effect is developed. In this paper, the formulas are deduced, the computational program is compiled, the practical examples are analysed, and this problem is solved very satisfactorily. The computational results show that the shape and value of the regions of dynamic instability can be changed significantly by damping. So only by considering damping can the property of dynamic stability of the submerged structure be reflected correctly.

文摘A new structural configuration with better impact stability for increasing energy absorbing efficiency is found. Based on finite element analysis, deformation modes of double-hat structure under axial impact loading are categorized to find the main reasons that affect deformation stability. It is revealed that, in a double-hat structure, the location of the flanges is highly related to the deform- ation mode and energy absorbing efficiency. Moving the flanges away from their traditional mid-loca- tion may result in more regular and stable deformation mode and achieve higher energy absorbing ef- ficiency. The flange offset value needs to be controlled within a certain range, otherwise, the doub- le-hat structure would tend to deform like a top-hat structure and the energy absorbing efficiency could be compromised. These findings and analyses lead to a new structural design configuration- asymmetric flange locations--for enhancing the deformation mode stability in double-hat structures.

文摘The irreversible phase transition and interface side reactions during the cycling process severely limit the large scale application of nickel-rich layered oxides Li[Ni_(x)Co_(y)Mn_(1−x−y)]O_(2)(NCM,x>0.8).Herein,we have designed LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn 0.1 O_(2)cathodes modified by Nb/Al co-doping and LiNbO_(3)/LiAlO_(2)composite coating.Detailed characterization reveals that Nb/Al co-doping can stabilize the crystal structure of the cathodes and expand the layer spacing of the layered lattice,thereby increasing the diffusion rate and reversibility of Li^(+).And the composite coatings can improve the electrochemical kinetic and inhibit the erosion of acidic substances by hindering direct contact between the cathodes and electrolyte.As a result,the Ni-rich cathodes with dual modification can still exhibit a higher capacity of 184.02 mA·h/g after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of up to 98.1%,and can still release a capacity of 161.6 mA·h/g at a high rate of 7 C,meanwhile,it shows excellent thermal stability compared to bare NCM.This work provides a new perspective for enhancing electrochemical properties of cathodes through integrated strategies.

文摘Structure, magnetic properties, and thermal stability of ternary Sm1-xTmxCo5 compounds were studied via X-ray diffraction（XRD）, thermal magnetic analysis（TMA）, and magnetic measurements. XRD results show that all the compounds have a main phase of hexagonal CaCu5-type crystal structure with small amount of impurity phases; increasing Tm content is associated with contraction of the hexagonal unit cell in the direction of the c axis and expansion of the a and b parameters. TMA results indicate that the Curie temperature（TC） of Sm1-xTmxCo5 compounds gets higher with the increase in Tm content.Magnetic measurements show that both the magnetic anisotropy field（HA） and the magnetization at an applied field of 7 T（M7 T） decrease with the increase of Tm content. However, the thermal stability of both the HAand M7 Tof all the Tm doped compounds is remarkably improved compared with that of the pure SmCo5 compound, leading to the result that both the M7 Tand HAof Sm0.8Tm0.2Co5 .2are higher than those of SmCo5 compound at 473 K, which indicates the good potential of Tm doped compound in the practical applications at elevated temperature.
