Dynamic mechanical characteristics of NdFeB in electromagnetic brake

With the continuous development of artillery,the disadvantages of hydraulic recoil brakes gradually appear.At the same time,the appearance of high-performance Nd Fe B permanent magnet makes it possible to apply electromagnetic braking technology to recoil mechanism.In this paper,prototype tests of a certain artillery were carried out to verify the feasibility of the electromagnetic brake(EMB)and obtain the electromagnetic braking force.Due to the brittleness of Nd Fe B,in order to eliminate the worry about the safety of EMB,SHPB experiments of Nd Fe B were carried out.Then,based on the assumption of uniform crack distribution,the law of crack propagation and damage accumulation was described theoretically,and the damage constitutive model suitable for brittle materials was proposed by combining the Zhu-Wang-Tang(ZWT)equation.Finally,the numerical simulation model of the artillery prototype was established and through calculation,the dynamic mechanical characteristics of Nd Fe B in the prototype were analyzed.The calculation results show that the strength of Nd Fe B can meet the requirements of the use in the working process.From the perspective of damage factor,the damage value of the permanent magnet on the far right is larger,and the damage value of the inner ring gradually decreases to the outer ring.

Dynamic mechanical characteristics and application of constant resistance energy-absorbing supporting material

In deep underground engineering,rock burst and other dynamic disasters are prone to occur due to stress concentration and energy accumulation in surrounding rock.The control of dynamic disasters requires bolts and cables with high strength,high elongation,and high energy-absorbing capacity.Therefore,a constant resistance energy-absorbing(CREA)material is developed.In this study,the dynamic characteristics of the new material are obtained via the drop hammer tests and the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar(SHPB)tests of the new material and two common bolt(CB)materials widely used in the field.The test results of drop hammer test and SHPB test show that the percentage elongation of CREA material is more than 2.64 and 3.22 times those of the CB material,and the total impact energy acting on CREA material is more than 18.50 and 21.84 times,respectively,indicating that the new material has high elongation and high energy-absorbing capacity.Subsequently,the CREA bolts and cables using the new material are developed,which are applied in roadways with high stress and strong dynamic disturbance.The field monitoring results show that CREA bolts and cables can effectively control the surrounding rock deformation and ensure engineering safety.

Microstructure and mechanical characteristics of AA6061-T6 joints produced by friction stir welding,friction stir vibration welding and tungsten inert gas welding:A comparative study

This study compared the microstructure and mechanical characteristics of AA6061-T6 joints produced using friction stir welding(FSW),friction stir vibration welding(FSVW),and tungsten inert gas welding(TIG).FSVW is a modified version of FSW wherein the joining specimens are vibrated normal to the welding line during FSW.The results indicated that the weld region grains for FSVW and FSW were equiaxed and were smaller than the grains for TIG.In addition,the weld region grains for FSVW were finer compared with those for FSW.Results also showed that the strength,hardness,and toughness values of the joints produced by FSVW were higher than those of the other joints produced by FSW and TIG.The vibration during FSW enhanced dynamic recrystallization,which led to the development of finer grains.The weld efficiency of FSVW was approximately 81%,whereas those of FSW and TIG were approximately 74%and 67%,respectively.

Mechanical characteristics of soil-rock mixtures containing macropore structure based on 3D modeling technology

Soil-rock mixtures containing macropore(SRMCM)is a kind of geological material with special mechanical properties.Located in the project area of Lenggu hydropower station on the Yalong River,Sichuan Province,China,there is an extremely unstable Mahe talus slide with a total volume of nearly160 million cubic meters,which is mainly composed of SRMCM.The study on the mechanical properties of SRMCM is of great significance for the engineering construction and safe operation.In this paper,laboratory tests and discrete element numerical tests based on three-dimensional scanning technology were conducted to study the influence of stone content,stone size,and the angle of the macropore structure on shear characteristics of SRMCM.The failure mechanism of SRMCM was discussed from a microscopic perspective.This work explains the internal mechanism of the influence of stone content,stone size,and the angle of the macropore structure on the strength of SRMCM through the microscopic level of stone rotation,force chain distribution,and crack propagation.As the macropore structure that intersects with the preset shear plane at a large angle could act as a skeleton-like support to resist the shear force,the fracture of the weak cemented surface of soil and stone in the macropore structure is an important cause of SRMCM destruction.

Analysis of the Stability and Mechanical Characteristics of the Jointed Surrounding Rock and Lining Structure of a Deeply Buried Hydraulic Tunnel

On-site monitoring and numerical simulation have been combined to analyze the stability of the jointed surrounding rock and the stress inside the lining structure of a sample deeply buried hydraulic tunnel.We show that the deformation around the tunnel was mainly concentrated in the range 51.37 mm∼66.73 mm,the tunnel circumference was dominated by shear failure,and the maximum plastic zone was about 3.90 m.When the shotcrete treatment was performed immediately after the excavation,the deformation of the surrounding rock was reduced by 58.94%∼76.31%,and the extension of the plastic zone was relatively limited,thereby leading to improvements in terms of the stability of surrounding rock.When the support was provided at different time points,the stress of the surrounding rock in the shallow part of the tunnel was improved everywhere.In the tunnel section with high ground stress and joint development,when 10 cm steel fiber concrete spray layer and 40 cm C25 concrete secondary lining were used,the maximum tensile stress on the lining structure was 0.89 MPa,i.e.,it was less than the tensile strength of concrete,which indicates that the internal force of the lining can meet the overall requirements.

Analysis of Mechanical Characteristics of Fly Ash Cenospheres Reinforced Epoxy Composites

Fly ash cenospheres（FACs） as a recycling material of industrial waste has become a competitor for other inorganic particle fillers. Epoxy resin（EP） composites reinforced with different content of FACs as well as different size grading ratio were prepared. The surface modification of FACs particles was conducted before incorporating into EP matrix. The impact and flexural strengths and the flexural modulus were investigated, and the fracture surfaces of the testing samples were analyzed using SEM. Results showed that FACs had an obvious effect on the mechanical characteristics of the FACs/EP composites. With increasing weight fraction of FACs, the impact and flexural strengths and the flexural modulus of EP composite samples increased, and reached the highest values when the weight fraction of FACs reached 15 wt%. The mechanical characteristics of the FACs/EP composites however deteriorated with further increasing of FACs content. For the EP composites reinforced with different size grading ratio of FACs, the larger proportion of small FACs particles, the better mechanical properties of the EP composites. The results were analyzed from the aspect of the plastic deformation, new surface formation and fracture absorption energy. The synergistic effect of the size grading ratio of FACs was not obvious, which would be further investigated.

Mechanical Characteristics of Radial Magnetic Bearing

This paper is based on the example of a radial magnetic bearing possessed of eight-pole, and derives the calculation formulas of static and dynamic mechanical characteristics of the bearing, in which the shape and curvature of surface, eccentricity and tilt of the journal are taken into account. Variations of the static and dynamic characteristics of the radial magnetic bearing versus static tilt parameters of journal are discussed. The outcomes show that the static tilt of the journal has influence on the mechanical characteristics of radial magnetic bearing, and change the static load capacity between two radial magnetic bearings and exert coupling effect between them. To study the dynamics of a practical rotor-magnetic bearing system, at least six stiffness coefficients in each radial magnetic bearing must be considered in ideal case, and twelve stiffness coefficients must be considered in general case of tilting journal. Such a find can be used for the coupled electromechanical dynamics analysis of rotor system equipped with magnetic bearings.

Structure,mechanical characteristics,biodegradation,and in vitro cytotoxicity of magnesium alloy ZX11 processed by rotary swaging

Rotary swaging(RS)of alloy Mg-1.03Zn-0.66Ca(ZX11)was shown to refine the average grain size to 4.5±1.2μm in a longitudinal section and 4.8±0.9μm in a transverse section.In addition,a small amount of Mg2Ca particles about 300nm in size and Mg6Zn3Ca2 particles with a size of about lOOnm was detected.This resulted in pronounced strengthening:the yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength rose to 210±8 MPa and 276±6 MPa,respectively,while the elongation hardly decreased(22.0±1.8% and 18.3±2.9% before and after RS).Furthermore,RS led to an increase in the fatigue limit of the alloy from 120 MPa to 135 MPa and did not impair its resistance to chemical corrosion.The studies in vitro showed that ZX11 induces hemolysis without inhibiting the viability of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and has a more pronounced cytotoxic effect on tumor cells in comparison with non-transformed cells.No significant difference of the latter effect between the initial and the deformed states was observed.

Mechanical characteristics of composite honeycomb sandwichstructures under oblique impact

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP)and CFRP-based composite honeycomb sandwich structures are particularly sensitive to impact.The mechanical characteristics of composite honeycomb sandwich structures under oblique impact are studied by numerical simulation and experiment.The oblique impact model is established,and the reliability of the model is verified by the oblique impact test.To further analyze the influence of structural parameters on energy absorption under oblique impact,the influence of impact angle,face sheet thickness and wall thickness of the honeycomb is numerically studied.The results show that the impact angle has an important effect on energy distribution.The structural parameters also have an effect on the peak contact force,contact time,and energy absorption,and the effect is different from normal impact due to the presence of frictional dissipation energy.Compared with normal impact,the debonding of oblique impact will be reduced,but the buckling range of the honeycomb core will be expanded.

The application refers to a thrust magnetic bearing for a turbo expander/compressor. The static tilt of the runner disk has remarkable influence on the mechanical characteristics of thrust magnetic bearing, it can change the static load distribution between two radial magnetic bearings and will exert violent coupling effect among a thrust magnetic bearing and two radial magnetic bearings. Such a finding can be used for the coupled electromechanical dynamics analysis of rotor system equipped with magnetic bearings.

Dynamic evolution in mechanical characteristics of complex supporting structures during large section tunnel construction

The shallow tunnelling method(STM)often uses temporary supports to divide large section tunnels into several closed or semiclosed sections so as to share the upper load.The complex support system composed of primary and temporary supports can ensure safety during tunnel construction.Based on the large section tunnel of Beijing Subway Line 12,the mechanical characteristics of support system by the double-side-drift method(DSDM)during excavation and demolition were analyzed through numerical simulation and monitoring.The study showed that the middle cave excavation was the most critical stage of the DSDM,during which the load on the supporting structure increased significantly.The temporary vertical support bore most of the new load during middle cave excavation.During the demolition stage,the load was redistributed,which caused arch settlement and section convergence.The removal of the temporary vertical support exerted the greatest impact in this process.The lateral temporary inverted arch changed from axial compression to axial tension after the middle and lower caves were excavated.Based on the mechanical characteristics of the support system,some engineering suggestions were proposed for large section tunnel construction.These research results can provide reference for the design and construction of similar large section tunnels.

Analysis of mesoscopic mechanical dynamic characteristics of ballast bed with under sleeper pads

The meso-dynamical behaviour of a high-speed rail ballast bed with under sleeper pads(USPs)was studied.The geometrically irregular refined discrete element model of the ballast particles was constructed using 3D scanning techniques,and the 3D dynamic model of the rail-sleeper-ballast bed was constructed using the coupled discrete element method-multiflexible-body dynamics(DEM-MFBD)approach.We analyse the meso-mechanical dynamics of the ballast bed with USPs under dynamic load on a train and verify the correctness of the model in laboratory tests.It is shown that the deformation of the USPs increases the contact area between the sleeper and the ballast particles,and subsequently the number of contacts between them.As the depth of the granular ballast bed increases,the contact area becomes larger,and the contact force between the ballast particles gradually decreases.Under the action of the elastic USPs,the contact forces between ballast particles are reduced and the overall vibration level of the ballast bed can be reduced.The settlement of the granular ballast bed occurs mainly at the shallow position of the sleeper bottom,and the installation of the elastic USPs can be effective in reducing the stress on the ballast particles and the settlement of the ballast bed.

Applications of structural efficiency assessment method on structural-mechanical characteristics integrated design in aero-engines

In the design process of advanced aero-engines,it is necessary to carry out an effective analysis method between structural features and mechanical characteristics for a better structural optimization.Based on the structural composition and functions of aero-engines,the concept and contents of structural efficiency can reflect the relation between structural features and mechanical characteristics.In order to achieve the integrated design of structural and mechanical characteristics,one quantitative analysis method called Structural Efficiency Assessment Method(SEAM)was put forward.The structural efficiency coefficient was obtained by synthesizing the parameters to quantitatively evaluate the aero-engine structure design level.Parameterization method to evaluate structural design quality was realized.After analyzing the structural features of an actual dual-rotor system in typical high bypass ratio turbofan engines,the mechanical characteristics and structural efficiency coefficient were calculated.Structural efficiency coefficient of high-pressure rotor(0.43)is higher than that of low-pressure rotor(0.29),which directly shows the performance of the former is better,there is room for improvement in structural design of the low-pressure rotor.Thus the direction of structural optimization was pointed out.The applications of SEAM shows that the method is operational and effective in the evaluation and improvement of structural design.

Mechanical characteristics of Hanfu apple at low temperature

To find out a low temperature storage method for the maintenance of Hanfu apple’s firmness,crispness and moisture content,three storage methods in refrigerator,large cellar,and small cellar were experimented.Tests and comparisons were conducted for parameters including maximum absolute deformation,elastic modulus,firmness in compression test,and weight loss rate using mechanical characteristics monitoring and regular weighing during and after storage.Five testing groups with different pretreatments were arranged for refrigerator tests.The results showed that lower weight loss rates were achieved in two cellars than in the refrigerator;and difference between the large and small cellars was insignificant.However,cellar storage was only feasible for a relatively short term.Refrigeration storage with humidification sealing treatment yielded the optimal result in maintaining firmness,crispness and moisture of Hanfu apples,showing advantage in long-term storage.

Micro-distribution and mechanical characteristics analysis of remaining oil

As the water drive reservoir enters extra high water cut stage(greater than 80%),remaining oil distribution becomes increasingly dispersed.Research on micro residual oil in pore appears particularly important for reservoir development at extra high water cut stage.Oil occurrence characteristics recognition helps to understand the distribution of remaining oil and the mechanical characteristics of oil is the guide for tapping the remaining oil.On the basis of pore scale oil ewater two phase flow experiments,micro distribution of remaining oil is divided into four occurrence states in accordance with oil features at different stage of water flooding,the flake of remaining oil,oil column,oil droplet and oil film.A quantitative characterization method of remaining oil occurrence states is established.By using micro numerical simulation method,change rules of four occurrence states of remaining oil during the process of water displacement and the mechanical characteristics of different occurrence state of remaining oil are analyzed.Results show that the continuous oil phase gradually transforms to discontinuous phase and even to dispersed phases during the water flooding process.At extra high water cut stage,most of remaining oil are dispersed oil columns,oil droplets and oil films,which are the main target of remaining oil to be tapped.By changing water flow direction or increasing the displacement pressure gradient,the surface adsorption force acting on oil columns are overcome,and then the oil columns begin to move and finally to be produced out.Oil droplets in pore-throat center are scoured and carried out by water as the increase of the injection volume,while the oil droplets in blind ends and the oil films are extracted out by adding chemicals to reduce the interfacial tension,so as to enhance oil recovery.For water flooding reservoir,the corresponding tapping measures for four types of oil occurrence states brought forward have great meanings of improving reservoir recovery at high water cut stage.

Analytical modeling and simulation on lateral mechanical characteristics of high-speed train traction motor hanging leaf spring

In this paper,using the theoretical analysis method,according to the actual structure of the hanging leaf spring of the traction motor mounted on the frame,the lateral force model of the hanging leaf spring of the traction motor was established.Then,through theoretical deduction,the deformation analytical calculation formula and the stress analytical calculation formula of the hanging leaf spring were established.The correctness of the leaf spring’s lateral force model was established and its deformation and stress analytical formulae were verified using ANSYS finite element analysis software.Based on this,according to the deformation analytical formula and the stress analytical formula of the leaf spring established,the influence of the main structural parameters on the mechanical characteristics of the leaf spring was discussed,and the reliability of the analytical analysis method of the lateral mechanical characteristics of the traction motor hanging leaf spring was verified by the loading–unloading test.The results show that the deformation and the load of the leaf spring change linearly.The changes of leaf spring’s stress at different positions can be considered as being composed of three sections:a linear change section in the root,a nonlinear change section in the middle,and a nonlinear change section in the end.In the structural parameters,the end thickness h2 has the greatest influence on the stiffness and the stress of the leaf spring,and the maximum thickness of the leaf spring eye h1 has the least influence on the stiffness and the stress of the leaf spring.The influence degree of other parameters on the stiffness of the leaf spring is h_(3),L_(1),L_(3),L_(2) in order,and the influence degree on the stress of the leaf spring is h_(3),L_(1),L_(2),L_(3) in order.In addition,when the root thickness h_(3) is greater than a certain value,the maximum stress point of the leaf spring appears at the end position L_(2).This study can provide a useful reference for the intelligent forward design and the rapid analysis of the mechanical characteristics of high-speed train traction motor hanging leaf spring.

Numerical analysis of the effects of vesicle distribution characteristics on the engineering properties of volcanic rocks

Vesicles can be of different sizes and shapes and can be randomly distributed within vesicular volcanic rocks. This study investigates the variation of engineering properties of vesicular rocks due to the changes in vesicle distribution characteristics for different cases of bulk porosity and vesicle diameter using a systematic numerical simulation program using the finite element method-based rock failure process analysis (RFPA) software. Models with uniform-size vesicles and combinations of different proportions of different-sized vesicles were considered to resemble natural vesicular rocks more closely, and ten different random vesicle distributions were tested for each case. Increasing bulk porosity decreased the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and elastic modulus of the specimens, and the specimens with the lowest bulk porosity showed the greatest range of UCS values in the case of uniform-size vesicles. The effect of vesicle diameter on UCS showed an unsystematic response which was understood to be a result of different vesicle distribution patterns, some of which facilitated a shear failure. Specimens with multiple-size vesicles in different proportions revealed that the variation of UCS due to vesicle distribution characteristics is minimum when the bulk porosity is equally shared by different size vesicles. In addition, when the proportion of smaller-sized vesicles is higher, UCS showed an increase compared to that of the equal proportion of different size vesicles case at low porosities, but a decrease at higher porosities. Variation of elastic modulus showed minor, unsystematic fluctuations as a function of vesicle diameter and different proportions of different-sized vesicles, and the range for different vesicle distribution patterns was narrow in general. Overall, the findings of this study recommend cautious use of the engineering properties determined through a limited number of laboratory tests on vesicular rocks.
