Modeling and Analysis of Mechanical Quality Factor of the Resonator for Cylinder Vibratory Gyroscope

Mechanical Quality factor（Q factor） of the resonator is an important parameter for the cylinder vibratory gyroscope（CVG）. Traditional analytical methods mainly focus on a partial energy loss during the vibration process of the CVG resonator, thus are not accurate for the mechanical Q factor prediction. Therefore an integrated model including air damping loss, surface defect loss, support loss, thermoelastic damping loss and internal friction loss is proposed to obtain the mechanical Q factor of the CVG resonator. Based on structural dynamics and energy dissipation analysis, the contribution of each energy loss to the total mechanical Q factor is quantificationally analyzed. For the resonator with radius ranging from 10 mm to 20 mm, its mechanical Q factor is mainly related to the support loss, thermoelastic damping loss and internal friction loss, which are fundamentally determined by the geometric sizes and material properties of the resonator. In addition, resonators made of alloy 3J53 （Ni42CrTiA1）, with different sizes, were experimentally fabricated to test the mechanical Q factor. The theoretical model is well verified by the experimental data, thus provides an effective theoretical method to design and predict the mechanical Q factor of the CVG resonator.

Mechanical quality factor of high-overtone bulk acoustic resonator

Mechanical quality factor Qm is a key characteristic parameter of High-overtone bulk acoustic resonator（HBAR）. The effects of structure parameter（thickness） and perfor？mance parameters（characteristic impedance and mechanical attenuation factor） of substrate,piezoelectric film and electrode constituting HBAR on Qm are carried out. The relationships between Qm and these parameters are obtained by a lumped parameter equivalent circuit instead of distributed parameter equivalent circuit near the resonance frequency, and the an？alytical expressions oi Qm are given. The results show that Qm increases non-monotonically with the continuous increase of the substrate thickness for HBAR with certain piezoelectric film thickness, and it approaches to the substrate material mechanical quality factor as the substrate thickness is large. Qm decreases wavily with the continuous increase of the piezoelectric film thickness for HBAR with certain substrate thickness. Sapphire and YAG with low mechanical loss are appropriate as the substrate to get a larger Qm- The electrode loss must be considered since it can reduce Qm- Compared with Au electrode, A1 electrode with lower loss can obtain higher Qm when the appropriate electrode thickness is selected. In addition, Qm decreases with the increase of frequency. These results provide the theoretical basis for optimizing the parameters of HBAR and show that trade-oflFs between Qm and must be considered in the design because their changes are often inconsistent.

Origin of high mechanical quality factor in CuO-doped （K, Na）NbO3-based ceramics

The origin of a high mechanical quality in CuO-doped （K, Na）NbO3-based ceramics is addressed by considering the correlations between the lattice positions of Cu ions and the hardening effect in K0.48Na0.52＋xNbO3-0.01CuO ceramics. The Cu ions simultaneously occupy K/Na and Nb sites of these ceramics with x = 0 and 0.02, only occupy the K/Na site of the ceramics with x= -0.02, and mostly form a secondary phase of the ceramics with x = -0.05. The Cu ions lead to the hardening of ceramics with an increase of Ec and Qm by only occupying the K/Na site, together with the formation of double hysteresis loops in un-poled compositions. A defect model is proposed to illuminate the origin of a high Qm value, that is, the domain stabilization is dominated by the content of relatively mobile O2- ions in the ceramics, which has a weak bonding with CUK/Na defects.

Analysis and Inverse Substructuring Computation on Dynamic Quality of Mechanical Assembly

Mechanical assembly has its own dynamic quality directly affecting the dynamic quality of whole product and should be considered in quality inspection and estimation of mechanical assembly. Based on functional relations between dynamic characteristics involved in mechanical assembly, the effects of assembling process on dynamic characteristics of substructural components of an assembly system are investigated by substructuring analysis. Assembly-coupling dynamic stiffness is clarified as the dominant factor of the effects and can be used as a quantitative measure of assembly dynamic quality. Two computational schemes using frequency response functions（FRFs） to determine the stiffness are provided and discussed by inverse substructuring analysis, including their applicable conditions and implementation procedure in application. Eigenvalue analysis on matrix-ratios of FRFs before and after assembling is employed and well validates the analytical outcomes and the schemes via both a lumped-parameter model and its analogic experimental counterpart. Applying the two schemes to inspect the dynamic quality provides the message of dynamic performance of the assembly system, and therefore improves conventional quality inspection and estimation of mechanical assembly in completeness.

Formation mechanisms and distribution of high quality reservoirs in deep strata in Palaeogene in northern steep slope zone of Bonan sag, Jiyang depression, China

Petrographic analysis combined with various techniques, such as thin section identification, petro-physical property testing, mercury penetration, oil testing results, was used to assess basic reservoir characteristics of deep strata in Palaeogene in the northern steep slope zone of the Bonan sag, China. The formation mechanisms of high quality reservoirs in deep strata were discussed according to evolution characteristics of paleopressures and paleofluids in geological period. The deep reservoirs have poor physical properties and mainly develop extra-low porosity, extra-low and ultra-low permeability reservoirs. Reservoir spaces mainly consist of secondary pores and overpressure fractures. Early overpressure, early hydrocarbon filling and dissolution by early organic acids are the major formation mechanisms of high quality reservoirs. The conglomerate in inner fan which had a poor primary physical property mainly experienced strong compaction and calcareous matrix recrystallization. The physical properties of the inner fan were poor with weak dissolution because of poor mobility of fluid. The reservoirs mainly are type IV reservoirs and the distribution extends with the burial depth. The braided channel reservoirs in the middle fan had relative good primary physical properties and strong ability to resist compaction which favored the preservation of primary pores. Large amounts of the secondary porosities were created due to dissolution by early organic acids. A series of micro-fractures generated by early overpressures would be important migration pathways for hydrocarbon and organic acids. Furthermore, early overpressures had retarded maturation of organic matters and organic acids which had flowed into reservoirs already and could keep in acid environment for a long time. This process would contribute significantly to reinforcing the dissolution and enhancing the reservoir quality. The braided channel reservoirs were charged with high oil saturation preferentially by early hydrocarbon filling which could inhibit later cementation. Therefore, the braided channel reservoirs develop a great quantity of reservoir spaces with type I, type II and type III reservoirs in the majority in the deep strata. With the burial depth, distributions of type I and type II reservoirs are narrowed and distribution of type III reservoirs decreases first and then extends. The reservoirs both in outer fan and in interdistributary of the middle fan have extremely poor physical properties because of extensive carbonate cementation. The type of the reservoirs mainly is type IV.

Outstanding electromechanical performance in piezoelectric ceramics via synergistic effects of defect engineering and domain miniaturization

Piezoelectric ceramics with high mechanical quality factor Q_(m) and large piezoelectric coefficient d_(33) are urgently required for advanced piezoelectric applications.However,obtaining both of these prop-erties simultaneously remains a difficult challenge due to their mutually restrictive relationship.Here 0.5Pb(Ni_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3)-0.5Pb(Zr_(0.3)Ti_(0.7))O_(3) piezoceramic with tetragonal(T)-rich MPB is designed as a matrix to construct the defect engineering by doping low-valent Mn ions.The strong coupling of defect dipole and T-rich phase can effectively hinder the rotation of P_(s),restrict domain wall motion and improve Q_(m).At the same time,the substituted Mn ions will introduce local random field,destroying the long-range or-dering of ferroelectric domain and reducing domain size.The miniaturized domain structure can increase poling efficiency and inhibit the reduction of d_(33).Guided by this strategy,Q_(m) has increased by more than 10 times and d_(33) has only decreased by about 25%.The optimized electromechanical performance with Q_(m)=822,d_(33)=502 pC/N,k_(p)=0.55 and tanδ=0.0069 can be obtained in the present study.
