However, there is a mutually restrictive relationship between the workability and mechanical properties of UHPFRC. Specifically, the addition of fibers will affect the workability of fresh UHPFRC, and the workability of fresh UHPFRC will also affect the dispersion and arrangement of fibers, thus significantly influencing the mechanical properties of hardened UHPFRC. This paper first analyzes the research status of UHPFRC and the relationship between its workability and mechanical properties. Subsequently, it outlines the test methods and indicators of UHPFRC workability, including fluidity, slump, V-funnel passing time, and rheology. Then, it reviews the impacts of metal fibers, synthetic fibers, hybrid fibers, and other fibers on the workability and mechanical properties of UHPFRC, and presents a reasonable range of fiber dosage for workability and mechanical properties. Key findings include: (1) Steel fibers within 1%–2% volume optimize workability-mechanical balance, while exceeding 2.5% reduces compressive strength by 7%–30%;(2) Hybrid steel-polypropylene fibers enhance toughness by 65%;(3) Fiber orientation control via rheology-modifying admixtures improves flexural strength by up to 64%. This review establishes a fiber factor (V·L/D) for predictive mix design, advancing beyond empirical approaches in prior studies.展开更多

The change law of tensile strength and air permeability of frozen sand moulds (100-mesh and 200-mesh silica sand, and zircon sand moulds) under different freezing temperatures and water contents was studied. Results show that with the decrease of freezing temperature and the increase of water contents, the tensile strength and air permeability of the sand moulds are gradually improved. Meanwhile, computed tomography technology was used to characterize the shape and size of the water film between the sand particles mixed with 4wt.% water. The results show that in silica sand moulds, the form of water film is lumpy, and 200-mesh silica sand moulds have more water films and higher proportion of small-sized water films than 100-mesh silica sand moulds, while in zircon sand moulds, the form of water film is membranous. At the same freezing temperature and water content, the tensile strength of zircon sand mould is the highest, and 100-mesh silica sand mould is the lowest. A comparative solidification experiment of A356 aluminum alloy was carried out in frozen sand mould and resin sand mould. The results show that the primary α-Al phase appears in the form of equiaxed and eutectic silicon phase is needle-like in freezing sand mould casting, but the primary α-Al phase grows in the form of dendrites, and the eutectic silicon phase is coarse needle-like in the resin sand mould casting. The difference of microstructure is caused by the different cooling rate. The cooling rate of A356 aluminum alloy in frozen sand mould is higher than that in resin sand mould.展开更多

Microstructural characterization revealed that the formation of shrinkage pores are closely related to ESCs, which were mainly controlled by the low slow-shot speed in shot sleeve(ESCs growth time) and fast slow-shot speed into the die cavity(distribution of ESCs). In addition, solidification pressure can significantly reduce the shrinkage porosity in the center by improving the feeding capacity of liquid metal. Tensile fracture revealed that the tearing ridge is mainly evolved from the slip band of ESCs. The quantity and distribution of ESCs determine the fracture mode of castings. The relationship between mechanical properties of castings and the morphology of ESCs and porosity is also statistically discussed.展开更多

We aimed to provide a quantitative assessment of the contribution of earthworms to the terrestrial ecosystem N cycle using meta-analysis of 130 publications selected. The natural logarithm of the response ratio(lnRR) was used to indicate the effect size of earthworms on N dynamic variables. The results showed that earthworms significantly affected soil N-cycling microorganisms, including the amoA gene abundance of soil ammonia-oxidizing bacteria(AOB), and significantly promoted soil N cycle processes,including denitrification, mineralization, and plant assimilation. The effects of earthworms on the N cycle were experimental design dependent and affected by factors such as the functional group of earthworm and residue input. The presence of the anecic earthworms decreased the rates of mineralization and nitrification, and increased nitrification and denitrification responses were more pronounced in the presence of the endogeic earthworms than that of the other two functional groups of earthworms. In addition, residue input enhanced the effects of earthworms on the N cycle. The effects of earthworms on nitrous oxide(N_(2) O) emission increased when residues were added. These findings indicate that residue input and introducing suitable functional groups of earthworms into the field can lead to N sustainability without increasing N2 O emission. This meta-analysis also provides systematic evidence for the positive effects of earthworms on the plant N pool, N availability(soil ammonium(NH_(4)^(+)) content), and soil microbial biomass N content, showing the potential to alter ecosystem functions and services in relation to N cycling.展开更多

The PL result showed typical blue and green emission from Dy3＋ and red emission from Eu3＋. The f-f transitions in- volving the lanthanide ions along with dopant site occupancy were discussed thoroughly. Phonon assisted energy transfer process was observed from Eu3＋ to Dy3＋, which enhanced the emissions of Dy3＋. Combinations of the emissions from Eu3＋ and Dy3＋ showed a possible white to red tuneable emission on the CIE diagram. The white warmth emissions of the phosphor were revealed to be ad- justable through designing the dopant concentration and excitation wavelengths. An unusual energy transfer that originated from Eu3＋ to Dy3＋ was also discovered and the energy transfer mechanism was discussed. Proposed energy transfer mechanism was investigated using luminescence decay lifetime. All the phosphor exhibited efficient excitation in the UV range which matched well with the emissions from GaN-based LED chips. This presented the BaB2Si208 phosphor as a promising candidate for white LED applications. The effects of doping on the structural properties and the optical band gap of BaB2Si208 phosphor were also discussed in this study.展开更多

文摘A green pregelatinized glutinous rice flour biological admixture was developed in this paper.The cement hydration process,hydration products,pore structure,and strength of mortar with different quantities of glutinous rice flour(GRF),and the macroscopic changes in concrete cracking resistance testing were investigated.Simultaneously,a fast cracking resistance evaluation method based on graphic recognition was proposed.The results indicated that pregelatinized glutinous rice flour(T-GRF)delayed the dissolution rate of anhydrous cement during the induction period,shifting the main exothermic peak of hydration backward.The compressive strength developed slowly in 7-28 d age and returned to normal in 28-56 d.The compressive strength of T-GRF-0.6% modified mortar at 56 d age is less than 10% different from that of control group.The 3.0%T-GRF decreased the total porosity by 3%,and the average pore size decreased from 31.2 to 21.3 nm measured by MIP,indicating that T-GRF could inhibit harmful pores and densify concrete.The crack resistance coefficient of T-GRF modified concrete was obtained by image recognition method,and the GRF could decrease the length,width,and damaged area of cracks in the early age of concrete.

文摘Ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has received extensive attention from scholars and engineers due to its excellent mechanical properties and durability. However, there is a mutually restrictive relationship between the workability and mechanical properties of UHPFRC. Specifically, the addition of fibers will affect the workability of fresh UHPFRC, and the workability of fresh UHPFRC will also affect the dispersion and arrangement of fibers, thus significantly influencing the mechanical properties of hardened UHPFRC. This paper first analyzes the research status of UHPFRC and the relationship between its workability and mechanical properties. Subsequently, it outlines the test methods and indicators of UHPFRC workability, including fluidity, slump, V-funnel passing time, and rheology. Then, it reviews the impacts of metal fibers, synthetic fibers, hybrid fibers, and other fibers on the workability and mechanical properties of UHPFRC, and presents a reasonable range of fiber dosage for workability and mechanical properties. Key findings include: (1) Steel fibers within 1%–2% volume optimize workability-mechanical balance, while exceeding 2.5% reduces compressive strength by 7%–30%;(2) Hybrid steel-polypropylene fibers enhance toughness by 65%;(3) Fiber orientation control via rheology-modifying admixtures improves flexural strength by up to 64%. This review establishes a fiber factor (V·L/D) for predictive mix design, advancing beyond empirical approaches in prior studies.

文摘To guarantee secure communication against eavesdropping and malicious attack,an artificial noise(AN)-aided frequency-hopping(FH)architecture is adopted in this article.But the inevitable time misalignment between the received signal and locally reconstructed AN will deteriorate the AN cancellation performance,yielding significant secrecy degradation at the FH receiver.In view of this,first,the AN cancellation performance under time misalignment is evaluated via signal to AN-plus-noise ratio,and the system secrecy is analyzed via secrecy rate.Then,to mitigate the performance degradation raised by time misalignment,the transmitting power allocation scheme for AN and confidential signal(CS)is optimized,and the optimal hopping period is designed.Notably,the obtained conclusions in both the performance evaluation and transmitter optimization sections hold no matter whether the eavesdropper can realize FH synchronization or not.Simulations verify that time misalignment will raise non-negligible performance degradation.Besides,the power ratio of AN to CS should decrease as time misalignment increases,and for perfect time synchronization,the transmitting power of AN and CS should be equivalent.In addition,a longer hopping period is preferred for secrecy enhancement when time misalignment gets exacerbated.

文摘Carbonaceous mudstone is a potential embankment filler in mountainous regions with limited high-quality materials;however,its engineering performance in highway embankments under complex environmental conditions remains poorly understood.This study aimed to investigate the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of carbonaceous mudstone filler under different temperature-moisture coupled conditions.Triaxial shear tests were conducted under four temperaturemoisture coupled conditions:dry-heat to dry-cold(DHDC),wet-cold to wet-heat(WCWH),dry-cold to wet-heat(DCWH),and dry-heat to wet-cold(DHWC).The effects of these conditions on the strength characteristics,relative breakage ratio,failure mode,and microscopic morphology were examined.A segmented prediction model based on the DuncanChang model was applied to validate the experimental results under the DHWC condition.The failure mechanisms under different conditions were also analyzed.The results indicate that the degradation of carbonaceous mudstone increases in the following order:DHDC,WCWH,DCWH,and DHWC.Under the DHDC condition,the stress-strain curves exhibit strain-softening behavior,while other conditions show strain-hardening behavior,with peak deviatoric stress occurring at 2%and 4%axial strains,respectively.The shear strength decreases by up to 40%under the DHWC condition but remains nearly unchanged under the DHDC condition,showing a positive correlation with particle breakage.As the number of cycles increases,the failure surfaces gradually move downward.Higher confining pressure shifts failure mode from shear failure to shear slip or localized compression,and eventually to overall compression or expansion failure.The modified Duncan-Chang model accurately predicts the experimental results.These findings provide important guidance for the application of carbonaceous mudstone filler in highway embankment construction in humid mountainous regions.

文摘The current research of titanium alloy on friction welding process in the field of aero-engines mainly focuses on the linear friction welding.Compared to the linear friction welding,inertial friction welding of titanium alloy still has important application position in the welding of aero-engine rotating assembly.However,up to now,few reports on inertial friction welding of titanium alloy are found.In this paper,the near-alpha TA19 titanium alloy welded joint was successfully obtained by inertial friction welding(IFW)process.The microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated systematically.Results showed that the refined grains within 15‒20μm and weak texture were found in the weld zone due to dynamic recrystallization caused by high temperature and plastic deformation.The weld zone consisted of acicularα′martensite phase,αp phase and metastableβphase.Most lath-shapedαs andβphase in base metal were transformed into acicular martensiteα′phase and metastableβphase in thermo-mechanically affected zone and heat affected zone.As a result,the microhardness of welded joint gradually decreased from the weld zone to the base metal.Tensile specimens in room temperature and high temperature of 480℃ were all fractured in base metal illustrating that the inertia friction welded TA19 titanium alloy joint owned higher tensile strength compared to the base metal.

文摘Digital patternless freeze-casting technology is a new approach for obtaining frozen sand moulds using digital milling technology. The change law of tensile strength and air permeability of frozen sand moulds (100-mesh and 200-mesh silica sand, and zircon sand moulds) under different freezing temperatures and water contents was studied. Results show that with the decrease of freezing temperature and the increase of water contents, the tensile strength and air permeability of the sand moulds are gradually improved. Meanwhile, computed tomography technology was used to characterize the shape and size of the water film between the sand particles mixed with 4wt.% water. The results show that in silica sand moulds, the form of water film is lumpy, and 200-mesh silica sand moulds have more water films and higher proportion of small-sized water films than 100-mesh silica sand moulds, while in zircon sand moulds, the form of water film is membranous. At the same freezing temperature and water content, the tensile strength of zircon sand mould is the highest, and 100-mesh silica sand mould is the lowest. A comparative solidification experiment of A356 aluminum alloy was carried out in frozen sand mould and resin sand mould. The results show that the primary α-Al phase appears in the form of equiaxed and eutectic silicon phase is needle-like in freezing sand mould casting, but the primary α-Al phase grows in the form of dendrites, and the eutectic silicon phase is coarse needle-like in the resin sand mould casting. The difference of microstructure is caused by the different cooling rate. The cooling rate of A356 aluminum alloy in frozen sand mould is higher than that in resin sand mould.
文摘Background:Attrition rate in new army recruits is higher than in incumbent troops.In the current study,we identified the risk factors for attrition due to injuries and physical fitness failure in recruit training.A variety of predictive models were attempted.Methods:This retrospective cohort included 19,769 Army soldiers of the Australian Defence Force receiving recruit training during a period from 2006 to 2011.Among them,7692 reserve soldiers received a 28-day training course,and the remaining 12,077 full-time soldiers received an 80-day training course.Retrieved data included anthropometric measures,course-specific variables,injury,and physical fitness failure.Multivariate regression was used to develop a variety of models to predict the rate of attrition due to injuries and physical fitness failure.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to compare the performance of the models.Results:In the overall analysis that included both the 28-day and 80-day courses,the incidence of injury of any type was 27.8%.The 80-day course had a higher rate of injury if calculated per course(34.3%vs.17.6%in the 28-day course),but lower number of injuries per person-year(1.56 vs.2.29).Fitness test failure rate was significantly higher in the 28-day course(30.0%vs.12.1%).The overall attrition rate was 5.2%and 5.0%in the 28-day and 80-day courses,respectively.Stress fracture was common in the 80-day course(n=44)and rare in the 28-day course(n=1).The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the course-specific predictive models were relatively low(ranging from 0.51 to 0.69),consistent with"failed"to"poor"predictive accuracy.The course-combined models performed somewhat better than the course-specific models,with two models having AUC of 0.70 and 0.78,which are considered"fair"predictive accuracy.Conclusion:Attrition rate was similar between 28-day and 80-day courses.In comparison to the 80-day full course,the 28-day course had a lower rate of injury but a higher number of injuries per person-year and of fitness test failure.These findings suggest fitness level at the commencement of training is a critically important factor to consider when designing the course curriculum,particularly short courses.

文摘Ferroptosis has emerged as a crucial regulated cell death involved in a variety of physiological processes or pathological diseases,such as tumor suppression.Though initially being found from anticancer drug screening and considered not essential as apoptosis for growth and development,numerous studies have demonstrated that ferroptosis is tightly regulated by key genetic pathways and/or genes,including several tumor suppressors and oncogenes.In this review,we introduce the basic concepts of ferroptosis,characterized by the features of non-apoptotic,iron-dependent,and overwhelmed accumulation of lipid peroxides,and the underlying regulated circuits are considered to be pro-ferroptotic pathways.Then,we discuss several established lipid peroxidation defending systems within cells,including SLC7A11/GPX4,FSP1/CoQ,GCH1/BH4,and mitochondria DHODH/CoQ,all of which serve as anti-ferroptotic pathways to prevent ferroptosis.Moreover,we provide a comprehensive summary of the genetic regulation of ferroptosis via targeting the above-mentioned pro-ferroptotic or anti-ferroptotic pathways.The regulation of proand anti-ferroptotic pathways gives rise to more specific responses to the tumor cells in a contextdependent manner,highlighting the unceasing study and deeper understanding of mechanistic regulation of ferroptosis for the purpose of applying ferroptosis induction in cancer therapy.

文摘With the development of the aerospace industry,space missions are becoming more complicated and diversified,and there is a demand for antenna mechanisms with a larger physical aperture.In this paper,a planar deployable mechanism is proposed,which can form a flat reflection surface with a small gap between plates.To this end,a novel large-scale two-dimensional deployable nine-grid planar antenna mechanism is designed.First,two antenna folding schemes and four supporting mechanism schemes are proposed.Through comparison analysis,the antenna configuration scheme with the best comprehensive performance is selected.A kinematic model of the deployable mechanism is established,and its kinematic characteristics are analyzed.Then,the correctness of the kinematic model is verified by comparing the analytical and simulation results of the kinematic model.Subsequently,a finite element model of the antenna is developed.Based on the response surface method,the structural parameters of the support rods of the antenna are optimized,and a set of optimized solutions with lightweight and high fundamental frequency characteristics are obtained.Finally,a prototype of the proposed nine-grid planar antenna is fabricated.The feasibility of the deployment principle and the rationality of the designed mechanism are verified by deployment experiments.

文摘The issues of energy shortage and environmental pollution have accelerated the electrification of construction ma-chinery(CM)industry globally.In China,the amount of electric construction machinery(ECM)has been growing across the industry.The sales of ECM are estimated to reach 600000 vehicles by the end of 2025,while the total demand for battery power will reach 60 GWh.However,the development of ECM still faces critical challenges including reliable power supply and energy distribution among various components.In this review,we primarily focus on important technological breakthroughs and the difficulties faced by the CM industry in China.An overview of ECM including classification and characteristics is given at the beginning.Next,the selection of key components such as the electric motor and the energy storage units,and the control strategy in the pure electric drive system are discussed.The characteristics of the hybrid electric drive system such as structure design and power matching are analyzed in detail.The battery management system(BMS)is critical to ensure appropriate battery health for reliable power supply.Here,we extensively review technical developments in various BMSs.In addition,we roughly estimate the national total of CM emissions and the potential environmental benefits of employing ECMs in China.Finally,we set out future research directions and industrial development of ECM.

文摘To understand the relationship between the process-microstructure-mechanical properties of the high-pressure die-casting(HPDC) AE44 magnesium alloy, 3D reconstruction and 2D characterization were carried out on the HPDC castings produced with different process parameters(low slow-shot speed, fast slow-shot speed, solidification pressure). Microstructural characterization revealed that the formation of shrinkage pores are closely related to ESCs, which were mainly controlled by the low slow-shot speed in shot sleeve(ESCs growth time) and fast slow-shot speed into the die cavity(distribution of ESCs). In addition, solidification pressure can significantly reduce the shrinkage porosity in the center by improving the feeding capacity of liquid metal. Tensile fracture revealed that the tearing ridge is mainly evolved from the slip band of ESCs. The quantity and distribution of ESCs determine the fracture mode of castings. The relationship between mechanical properties of castings and the morphology of ESCs and porosity is also statistically discussed.

文摘Corrosion leakage occurred in the 14th tube bundle in the first row of a residual oil hydrotreating air cooler after operating for two years.The failure location was 0.5 m from the outlet header box.In this paper,the erosion corrosion of the air cooler tube bundle was investigated by experimental and numerical methods.Visual inspection,scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and X-ray diffraction(XRD)experiments were performed,and the failure morphology and material composition confirmed that the damage was caused by erosion corrosion.The shear stress transport k–ωturbulence model(SST-k–ω)was then used to investigate the flow and erosion corrosion characteristics,combined with mass transfer,corrosion rate,and ionization equilibrium models.The numerical simulation results revealed that the water phase volume fraction increased with flow and heat transfer in the fluid,which increased the mass flow rate and concentration of hydrogen sulfide.The mass transfer coefficient and corrosion rate were proposed as important parameters to characterize erosion corrosion.Moreover,the local concentration of wall shear stress was found to increase the risk of erosion corrosion.The predicted high-risk area was consistent with the actual failure area,which verified that this failure incident was attributable to erosion corrosion by the water phase.

文摘Magnesium composites reinforced by N-deficient Ti_(2)AlN MAX phase were first fabricated by non-pressure infiltration of Mg into three-dimensional(3D)co-continuous porous Ti_(2)AlN_(x)(x=0.9,1.0)preforms.The relationship between their mechanical properties and micro-structure is discussed with the assessment of 2D and 3D characterization.X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscopy detected no impurities.The 3D reconstruction shows that the uniformly distributed pores in Ti_(2)AlN_(x) preforms are interconnected,which act as infiltra-tion tunnels for the melt Mg.The compressive yield strength and microhardness of Ti_(2)AlN_(0.9)/Mg are 353 MPa and 1.12 GPa,respectively,which are 8.55%and 6.67%lower than those of Ti_(2)AlN/Mg,respectively.The typical delamination and kink band occurred in Ti_(2)AlN_(x) under compressive and Vickers hardness(V_(H))tests.Owing to the continuous skeleton structure and strong interfacial bonding strength,the crack ini-tiated in Ti_(2)AlN_(x) was blocked by the plastic Mg matrix.This suggests the possibility of regulating the mechanical performance of Ti_(2)AlN/Mg composites by controlling the N vacancy and the hierarchical structure of Ti_(2)AlN skeleton.

文摘The mechanism of glutinous rice flour,a kind of natural admixture,on the hydration process,setting time,and microstructure of the Portland cement was investigated.The experimental results show that the glutinous rice flour has an obvious setting retarding effect on cement pastes.The optimal dosage of the glutinous rice flour is 3wt%.In this case,the initial and final setting time of the paste are delayed by 140 and185 min,respectively.The flexural and compressive strengths of the hardened paste are increased by 0.35%and 0.07%after 56 d of curing.The glutinous rice flour hinders the mineral dissolution process and decreases the concentration of calcium ion at the initial stage of hydration due to the complexation effect,thereby hindering the nucleation and growth of CH and C-S-H phases and prolonging the hydration process.However,C-S-H phases combine with the glutinous rice flour to contribute the bonding effect together,which compacts the microstructure of hardened cement pastes at the later hydration stage of cement pastes.Thus,in-depth investigation on the utilization of glutinous rice flour as the admixture for the Portland cement is expected to be meaningful for the control of hydration exothermic rate and setting time.

文摘This paper studied corrosion of pure Mg and the Mg alloys EV31A,WE43B,ZE41A,coated with commercial corrosion inhibiting compounds(CICs)(LPS 3,LPS2,AMLGuard,Ardrox 3961)immersed in 3.5 wt%(0.6M)Na Cl solution saturated with Mg(OH)_(2).All four CICs reduced corrosion rates.LPS 3 resulted in zero corrosion rates and 100%inhibition in most cases.LPS 2 and AMLGuard had comparable inhibition efficiencies,whilst Ardrox 3961 had the lowest inhibition efficiency.Reduction in corrosion rates was tentatively attributed to barrier films formed by chemical adsorption for LPS 3 and AMLGuard,and by physical adsorption for LPS2 and Ardrox 3961.
文摘Earthworms, as the ecosystem engineers, both directly and indirectly affect the nitrogen(N) cycle. We aimed to provide a quantitative assessment of the contribution of earthworms to the terrestrial ecosystem N cycle using meta-analysis of 130 publications selected. The natural logarithm of the response ratio(lnRR) was used to indicate the effect size of earthworms on N dynamic variables. The results showed that earthworms significantly affected soil N-cycling microorganisms, including the amoA gene abundance of soil ammonia-oxidizing bacteria(AOB), and significantly promoted soil N cycle processes,including denitrification, mineralization, and plant assimilation. The effects of earthworms on the N cycle were experimental design dependent and affected by factors such as the functional group of earthworm and residue input. The presence of the anecic earthworms decreased the rates of mineralization and nitrification, and increased nitrification and denitrification responses were more pronounced in the presence of the endogeic earthworms than that of the other two functional groups of earthworms. In addition, residue input enhanced the effects of earthworms on the N cycle. The effects of earthworms on nitrous oxide(N_(2) O) emission increased when residues were added. These findings indicate that residue input and introducing suitable functional groups of earthworms into the field can lead to N sustainability without increasing N2 O emission. This meta-analysis also provides systematic evidence for the positive effects of earthworms on the plant N pool, N availability(soil ammonium(NH_(4)^(+)) content), and soil microbial biomass N content, showing the potential to alter ecosystem functions and services in relation to N cycling.

文摘A series of Eu3＋ and Dy3＋ doped/co-doped as well as un-doped BaB2Si2Os phosphors were synthesized via solid state reaction method. The PL result showed typical blue and green emission from Dy3＋ and red emission from Eu3＋. The f-f transitions in- volving the lanthanide ions along with dopant site occupancy were discussed thoroughly. Phonon assisted energy transfer process was observed from Eu3＋ to Dy3＋, which enhanced the emissions of Dy3＋. Combinations of the emissions from Eu3＋ and Dy3＋ showed a possible white to red tuneable emission on the CIE diagram. The white warmth emissions of the phosphor were revealed to be ad- justable through designing the dopant concentration and excitation wavelengths. An unusual energy transfer that originated from Eu3＋ to Dy3＋ was also discovered and the energy transfer mechanism was discussed. Proposed energy transfer mechanism was investigated using luminescence decay lifetime. All the phosphor exhibited efficient excitation in the UV range which matched well with the emissions from GaN-based LED chips. This presented the BaB2Si208 phosphor as a promising candidate for white LED applications. The effects of doping on the structural properties and the optical band gap of BaB2Si208 phosphor were also discussed in this study.

文摘To improve the quality and efciency of Z-directional 3D preform forming,the Z-yarn frictional force distribution model of the preform and its wear mechanism were investigated.In this study,a tensile force measuring device was designed to measure the force required to replace the guide sleeve,which is equivalent to the Z-yarn frictional forces.The frictional force is proportional to the number of preform layers and is applied to the preform decreased from the corner,edge,sub-edge,and middle in order.A back propagation neural network model was established to predict the friction at diferent positions of the preform with diferent layers,and the error was within 1.9%.The wear of Z-yarn was studied at diferent frictional positions and after diferent times of successive implantation into the preform.The results showed that with an increase in the number of Z-yarn implantations and frictional forces,the amount of carbon fber bundle hairiness gradually increased,and the tensile fracture strength damage of the fber was increasingly afected by the frictional forces.In the corner position of the preform,when the number of implantations was 25,the fber fracture strength decreased non-linearly and substantially;in order to avoid fber fracturing in the implantation process,the Z-yarn needs to be replaced in time after 20–25 cycles of continuous implantation.This study solves the problem of difculty in measuring the force required for individual replacements owing to the excessive number of guide sleeves,puts forward the relationship between fber wear,preform position,and implantation times,solves the phenomenon of fracture in the preform during Z-direction fber implantation,and realizes the continuous implantation of fbers.
