MECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF CYLINDERS BEING UPSET BETWEEN SPHERICAL CONCAVE PLATEN AND CONCAVE SUPPORTING PLATE

Mechanical analysis of cylinders being upset between spherical concave platen and concave supporting plate is conducted. Rigid-plastic mechanical models for cylinders are presented. When the ratio of height to diameter, is larger than 1, there exists two-dimensional tensile stress in the deformed body, when the ratio is smaller than 1, there exists shear stress in static hydraulic zone. The former breaks through the theory that there is three-dimensional compressive stress irrespective of any ratio of height to diameter. The latter satisfactorily explains the mechanism of layer-like cracks in disk-shaped forgings and the flanges of forged gear axles. The representation of the two models makes the upsetting, theory into correct and perfect stage.

High intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)therapy is an effective method in clinical treatment of tumors,in order to explore the bio-heat conduction mechanism of in multi-layer media by concave spherical transducer,temperature field induced by this kind of transducer in multi-layer media will be simulated through solving Pennes equation with finite difference method,and the influence of initial sound pressure,absorption coefficient,and thickness of different layers of biological tissue as well as thermal conductivity parameter on sound focus and temperature distribution will be analyzed,respectively.The results show that the temperature in focus area increases faster while the initial sound pressure and thermal conductivity increase.The absorption coefficient is smaller,the ultrasound intensity in the focus area is bigger,and the size of the focus area is increasing.When the thicknesses of different layers of tissue change,the focus position changes slightly,but the sound intensity of the focus area will change obviously.The temperature in focus area will rise quickly before reaching a threshold,and then the temperature will keep in the threshold range.

CONCAVE BIOLOGICAL SURFACES FOR STRONG WET ADHESION

Plant leaves, insects and geckos are masters of adhesion or anti-adhesion by smartly designed refined surface structures with micro- and nano- ＇technologies＇. Understanding the basic principles in the design of the unique surface structures is of great importance in the manufacture or synthesis of micro- and nano- devices in MEMS or NEMS. This study is right inspired by this effort, focusing on the mechanics of wet adhesion between fibers having concave tips and a flat substrate via capillary forces. We show that the concave surface can effectively enhance the wet adhesion by reducing the effective contact angle of the fiber, firmly pinning the liquid bridge at its circumferential edge. A critical contact angle is identified below which the adhesion strength can achieve its maximum, being insensitive to the contact angle between the fiber and liquid. The analytical expression for the critical angle is derived. Then a tentative design for the profile of concave surfaces is proposed, considering the effects of chamfering size, deformation and buckling, etc. The effect of liquid volume on the wet adhesion of multiple-fiber system is also discussed.

3D stability analysis method of concave slope based on the Bishop method

In order to study the stability control mechanism of a concave slope with circular landslide, and remove the influence of differences in shape on slope stability, the limit analysis method of a simplified Bishop method was employed. The sliding body was divided into strips in a three-dimensional model, and the lateral earth pressure was put into mechanical analysis and the three-dimensional stability analysis methods applicable for circular sliding in concave slope were deduced. Based on geometric structure and the geological parameters of a concave slope, the influence rule of curvature radius and the top and bottom arch height on the concave slope stability were analyzed. The results show that the stability coefficient decreases after growth, first in the transition stage of slope shape from flat to concave, and it has been confirmed that there is a best size to make the slope stability factor reach a maximum. By contrast with average slope, the stability of a concave slope features a smaller range of ascension with slope height increase, which indicates that the enhancing effect of a concave slope is apparent only with lower slope heights.

Investigation of cavitation bubble collapse in hydrophobic concave using the pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method

The interaction between cavitation bubble and solid surface is a fundamental topic which is deeply concerned for the utilization or avoidance of cavitation effect.The complexity of this topic is that the cavitation bubble collapse includes many extreme physical phenomena and variability of different solid surface properties.In the present work,the cavitation bubble collapse in hydrophobic concave is studied using the pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model(MRT-LB).The model is modified by involving the piecewise linear equation of state and improved forcing scheme.The fluid-solid interaction in the model is employed to adjust the wettability of solid surface.Moreover,the validity of the model is verified by comparison with experimental results and grid-independence verification.Finally,the cavitation bubble collapse in a hydrophobic concave is studied by investigating density field,pressure field,collapse time,and jet velocity.The superimposed effect of the surface hydrophobicity and concave geometry is analyzed and explained in the framework of the pseudopotential LBM.The study shows that the hydrophobic concave can enhance cavitation effect by decreasing cavitation threshold,accelerating collapse and increasing jet velocity.

A modified discrete element method for concave granular materials based on energy-conserving contact model

The development of a general discrete element method for irregularly shaped particles is the core issue of the simulation of the dynamic behavior of granular materials.The general energy-conserving contact theory is used to establish a universal discrete element method suitable for particle contact of arbitrary shape.In this study,three dimentional(3D)modeling and scanning techniques are used to obtain a triangular mesh representation of the true particles containing typical concave particles.The contact volumebased energy-conserving model is used to realize the contact detection between irregularly shaped particles,and the contact force model is refined and modified to describe the contact under real conditions.The inelastic collision processes between the particles and boundaries are simulated to verify the robustness of the modified contact force model and its applicability to the multi-point contact mode.In addition,the packing process and the flow process of a large number of irregular particles are simulated with the modified discrete element method(DEM)to illustrate the applicability of the method of complex problems.

Synthesis of Octapod Cu-Au Bimetallic Nanocrystal with Concave Structure through Galvanic Replacement Reaction

We synthesized octapod Cu-Au bimetallic alloy with a concave structure by employing a replacement reaction between Au PPh3Cl and Cu nanocubes. Using the Cu nanocube as sacrificial templates, we have successfully generated high-active sites on alloy nanocrystals by carefully tuning the replacement reaction and growth. The key is to afford the proper concentration of Au PPh3Cl-TOP to the reaction solution. When the Au precursor with high concentration is injected into the galvanic replacement reaction, the growth dominated the process and hollowed octapod Cu-Au alloy was obtained. In contrast, when the concentration of the Au precursor is low, the replacement reaction can only take place at the nanocrystals, leading to generate Cu-Au nanocages. This work provides an effective strategy for the preparation of hollow bimetallic nanocrystals with high-active sites.

Error compensation on precision machine tool servo control system based on digital concave filter

It is concluded from the results of testing the frequency characteristics of the sub micron precision machine tool servo control system, that the existence of several oscillating modalities is the main factor that affects the performance of the control system. To compensate for this effect,several concave filters are utilized in the system to improve the control accuracy. The feasibility of compensating for several oscillating modalities with a single concave filter is also studied. By applying a modified Butterworth concave filter to the practical system, the maximum stable state output error remains under ±10 nm in the closed loop positioning system.

Influence of depth-thickness ratio of mining on the stability of a bedding slope with its sliding surface in concave deformation

In order to study the influence of depth-thickness ratio on bedding slope stability, whose sliding surface is flexural concave in shape under mining conditions, this paper aims to study the characteristics ofdeformarion and damage of bedding sliding with depth-thickness ratios of 200：1,150：1,120：1,100：1 and 50：1 by adopting numerical simulation analysis software combined with laboratory-made ＂under the influence of mining variable sliding surface slope similar simulation test bed＂, and to propose identification methods for slope stability under the infuence of mining. The results show that mining activities under the slope reduce slope stability. With a decrease in the mining depth ratio, the influence of mining on the slope increases gradually, and the damage to the slope gradually expands, the stability of the slope grad- ually reduces, fracture occurs on the slope toe and the central fissure gradually develops to the surface, and reaches slide threshold when the depth-thickness ratio is 50：1.

Improvement of 2.79-μm laser performance on laser diode side-pumped GYSGG/Er,Pr:GYSGG bonding rod with concave end-faces

A comparative study on the laser performance between bonding and non-bonding Er,Pr:GYSGG rods side-pumped by 970-nm laser diodes(LDs) is conducted for the thermal lensing compensation. The analyses of the thermal distribution and thermal focal length show that the bonding rod possesses a high cooling efficiency and weak thermal lensing effect compared with the conventional Er,Pr:GYSGG rod. Moreover, the laser characteristics of maximum output power, slope efficiency, and laser beam quality of the bonding rod with concave end-faces operated at 2.79 μm are improved under the high-repetition-rate operation. A maximum output power of 13.96 W is achieved at 150-Hz and 200-μs pulse width,corresponding to a slope efficiency of 17.7% and an electrical-to-optical efficiency of 12.9%. All results suggest that the combination of thermal bonding and concave end-face is a suitable structure for thermal lensing compensation.

A high resolution, nonhydrostatic, three dimensional diagnostic PBL model over small scale concave terrain was established in this paper.

Using the two models, characteristics of PBL structure and its evolution were fully studied. The main characteristic of the PBL is the circulation, and it fairly affects the distribution of the pollutant in the pit.

Lateral Migration and Nonuniform Rotation of Biconcave Particle Suspended inPoiseuille Flow

A biconcave particle suspended in a Poiseuille flow is investigated by the multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method with the Galilean-invariant momentum exchange method.The lateral migration and equilibrium of the particle are similar to the Segré-Silberberg effect in our numerical simulations.Surprisingly,two lateral equilibrium positions are observed corresponding to the releasing positions of the biconcave particle.The upper equilibrium positions significantly decrease with the increasing Reynolds number,whereas the lower ones are almost insensitive to the Reynolds number.Interestingly,the regular wave accompanied by nonuniform rotation is exhibited in the lateral movement of the biconcave particle.It can be attributed to the fact that the biconcave shape in various postures interacts with the parabolic velocity distribution of the Poiseuille flow.A set of contours illustrate the dynamic flow field when the biconcave particle has successive postures in a rotating period.

Research on Strengthening Method of Concave Cone-toroid-cylinder Combined Shell with Initial Imperfection

As a new joint structure,the impact of initial imperfection to stress of Concave cone-toroid-cylinder combined shell was analyzed. Firstly the location and shape of combined shell's initial imperfection caused by welding was studied. Secondly dominated stress was chosen after comparing varioustypical stress. Then it was analyzed that the influence of imperfection to dominated stress via changing the shape of frame's deflection and shell's concave-convex. At last the strengthening case for combined shell with imperfection was pointed out. The conclusions are:(1) Stress of frame 9 is more sensitive to initial imperfection than circumferential stress of toroidmidsurface,which is a new concern;(2) To strength the frames in the sides of toroid not only can decrease the stress of frame,but also can reduce the circumference stress of toroid's midsurface.
