GENERAL DYNAMIC EQUATION AND DYNAMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VISCOELASTIC TIMOSHENKO BEAMS

In this paper, a governing differential equation of viscoelastic Timoshenko beam including both extension and shear viscosity is developed in the time domain by direct method. To measure the complex moduli and three parameters of standard linear solid, the forced vibration technique of beam is successfully used for PCL and PMMA specimens. The dynamical characteristics of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams, especially the damping properties, are derived from a considerable number of numerical computations. The analyses show that the viscosity of materials has great influence on dynamical characteristics of structures, especially on damping, and the standard linear solid model is the better one for describing the dynamic behavior of high viscous materials.

Relation between Airy beams and triple-cusp beams

Airy beams and triple-cusp beams are two kinds of accelerating beams. The propagation characteristics and internal topological structures of accelerating Airy beams are well understood because of the developed mathematical theory about Airy function. However, limited information is available about the optical characteristics of accelerating triple-cusp beams. In this work, the relationship between Airy beams and triple-cusp beams is examined theoretically and experimentally. Results reveal some important optical characteristics of triple-cusp beams based on the optical characteristics of Airy beams. These findings are expected to provide a foundation for future applications of triple-cusp beams.

Effective improvement of beam lifetime based on radiofrequency phase modulation at the HLS-II storage ring

A radiofrequency(RF)phase modulation method is applied to the Hefei Light Source II storage ring to deeply investigate its longitudinal beam characteristics and improve the beam lifetime.A theoretical analytical model and corresponding experimental measurements of single bunch length and island phenomena are examined.From a series of online machine experiments,we demonstrate that the suitable phase modulation amplitude is 0.02 rad,corresponding to an optimum modulation frequency ranging from 19.6 to 20.7 kHz of the RF system.Furthermore,the overall beam lifetime can be increased by a factor of 2.38 as a result of the beam dilution effect.

Photonic crystal structures:Beam deflector and beam router

We investigate the optical characteristic,transverse magnetic（TM） and transverse electric（TE） band of twodimensional（2 D） square lattice photonic crystal structure,which is composed of cylindrical air regions positioned at the corners of the square shaped dielectric rods.We obtain the wide photonic bandwidths between TM1–TM2 and TM3–TM4 bands.According to the results,we demonstrate the band gaps close to each other in the TM and TE frequencies for proposed structures.The resulting photonic gaps are formed to be about 8% at the higher frequencies of TE modes（TE4–TE5）and TM modes（TM7–TM8 and TM9–TM10）.In addition,we examine isotropically generated structures for light guiding properties and observe that the light is directed in a particular route without using any deflection.We also investigate the self-collimation effect with the designed structure.The obtained results reveal the influences of the radius of cylindrical air holes and the angle between these air holes on absolute and partial photonic band gaps.Moreover,we observe the TM and TE band gaps that overlap.It is thought that the obtained band overlap will provide an easy way to produce the photonic crystals in practical applications like photonic insensitive waveguide.It is also believed that these results can provide the photonic crystal structures to work as a beam deflecting and beam router in integrated optical circuit applications.

Dataset for Beam Commissioning of the Vero4DRT System

We present the results of measurements made using the Vero4DRT radiation therapy system, which is not yet widely used, to assist technicians in achieving reliable and safe radiotherapy to the patient. We measured percent depth dose, beam profile, and relative scatter factor under water and air conditions. The Vero4DRT system has a 150 × 150-mm fixed secondary collimator. Its multileaf collimator (MLC) design is a single-focus type, with 30 pairs of 5 mm thick leaves at the isocenter, and produces a maximum field size of 150 × 150 mm. Profile measurements were performed using a 0.016-cm3 ionization chamber (PTW31016 pinpoint chamber;PTW, Freiburg GmbH Germany). A brass build-up cap was used for measurements obtained in air conditions. We present a useful measurement dataset for users of the Vero4DRT system.

Doppler shift of a laser pulse beam scattered by a rotating cone and cylinder

Based on laser radar equations, a Doppler shift model of a laser pulse beam scattered by a rotating arbitrary convex target is reported in this paper. The boundary relations between an incident pulse beam and the detected area elements are analyzed by geometric methods. The Doppler shift characteristics of the rotating cone and cylinder are discussed and the difference between the laser pulse beam and the plane wave scattered from the same rotating target is compared accordingly. Numerical simulations show that the Doppler shift is tightly relevant to their dimensions, speeds, and so on. In the same incidence conditions, the pulse beam and plane wave have difference peak values and the same Doppler shift bandwidth. If the waist radius of the pulse beam is larger, the peak value is higher, and the Doppler shifts are proportional to the speed of the rotating target. By virtue of our theoretical model, we probe into the scattered characteristics of the Doppler shifts of a laser pulse beam, which would benefit target identification in national defense.

Generation of a blue-detuned optical storage ring by a metasurface and its application in optical trapping of cold molecules

A scheme for storage of cold molecules in a hollow optical ring generated by a metasurface grating is proposed.The characteristics and intensity distribution related to the ring’s structural parameters and fabrication error tolerance are theoretically studied. The optical potential and dipole force required for the ring to trap magnesium monofluoride(MgF)molecules are also calculated. The dynamic behavior of MgF molecules in the storage ring is simulated by a Monte Carlo method, which shows that a metasurface-based optical storage ring can be used to trap molecules and is an interesting platform for research into ultracold quantum gases and their quantum-state manipulation.

LINEAR ACTIVE STRUCTURES AND MODES (Ⅱ) —DISCRETE SYSTEMS AND BEAMS

The basic concepts about the active structures and some attributes of the modes were presented in paper “Liner Active Structures and Modes]( I) ". The characteristics of the active discrete systems and active beams were discussed, especially, the stability of the active structures and the orthogonality of the eigenvectors. The notes about modes were portrayed by a model of a seven-storeyed building with sensors and actuators. The concept of the adjoint active structure was extended from the discrete systems to the beams that were the representations of the continuous structures. Two types of beams with different placements of the measuring and actuating systems were discussed in detail. One is the beam with the discrete sensors and actuators, and the other is the beam with distributed sensor and actuator function. The orthogonality conditions were derived with the modal shapes of the active beam and its adjoint active beam. An example shows that the variation of eigenvalues with feedback amplitude for the homo-configuration and non-homo-configuration active structures.

Influence of the cathode position on beam current characteristics in the thermionic electron gun

Purpose The research focuses on the simulation of influence of cathode positions on beam current characteristics in the thermionic electron gun.Methods The electricfield distribution,bias voltage range and electron beam quality under different cathode positions were simulated by CST software.Results Changes in the cathode position can cause changes in the electricfield distributions under the cathode emission surface change,thereby changing the size of the effective emitting area and affecting the relationship between the bias voltage and beam current.Conclusions Only when the cathode is installed in the proper positions,the beam current and the bias voltage have an approximately linear proportional relationship.When the cathode is installed improperly,the electron beam emission is disordered,resulting in decreased electron beam quality.
