Influence of Spray Gun Position and Orientation on Liquid Film Development along a Cylindrical Surface

A method combining computationalfluid dynamics(CFD)and an analytical approach is proposed to develop a prediction model for the variable thickness of the spray-induced liquidfilm along the surface of a cylindrical workpiece.The numerical method relies on an Eulerian-Eulerian technique.Different cylinder diameters and positions and inclinations of the spray gun are considered and useful correlations for the thickness of the liquidfilm and its distribution are determined using various datafitting algorithms.Finally,the reliability of the pro-posed method is verified by means of experimental tests where the robot posture is changed.The provided cor-relation are intended to support the optimization of spray-based coating applications.

High-precision simulation and experimental verification of residual stress and surface topography of cylindrical surface shot peening

Shot peening is commonly employed for surface deformation strengthening of cylindrical surface part.Therefore,it is critical to understand the effects of shot peening on residual stress and surface topography.Compared to flat surface,cylindrical surface shot peening has two significant features:(i)the curvature of the cylindrical surface and the scattering of the shot stream cause dis-tributed impact velocities;(i)the rotation of the part results in a periodic variation of the impact velocity component.Therefore,it is a challenge to quickly and accurately predict the shot peening residual stress and surface topography of cylindrical surface.This paper developed a high-precision model which considers the more realistic shot peening process.Firstly,a kinematic analysis model was developed to simulate the relative movement of numerous shots and cylindrical surface.Then,the spatial distribution and time-varying impact information was calculated.Subsequently,the impact information was used for finite element modeling to predict residual stress and surface topography.The proposed kinematic analysis method was validated by comparison with the dis-crete element method.Meanwhile,9310 high strength steel rollers shot peening test verified the effectiveness of the model in predicting the residual stress and surface topography.In addition,the effects of air pressure and attack angle on the residual stress and surface topography were investigated.This work could provide a functional package for efficient prediction of the surface integrity and guide industrial application in cylindrical surface shot peening.

The Ellipsoidal Surface Method Solving by Integration for Slope Stability Analysis

Landslide is common phenomena in construction field. Nowadays the cylindrical surface method has been used widely to analyze slope stability. However, this method contains two main disadvantages： firstly, the slip surface is assumed to be in circular shape while in fact it is ellipsoid commonly; and secondly, resolve by difference method causing immensely complicated process due to statically indeterminate equations. In this paper, the authors have presented a method that allows transferring of ellipsoid slip surface to cylindrical shape and carries out a single variable equation （by applying integration method）. Also thanks to this method, the current cylindrical surface method has been proved that its application is proper for man-made slopes but usually inappropriate for natural ones. Those results help analysis of slope stability reaching closer to reality.

Different optical properties in different periodic slot cavity geometrical morphologies

In this paper,optical properties of two-dimensional periodic annular slot cavity arrays in hexagonal close-packing on a silica substrate are theoretically characterized by finite difference time domain（FDTD） simulation method.By simulating reflectance spectra,electric field distribution,and charge distribution,we confirm that multiple cylindrical surface plasmon resonances can be excited in annular inclined slot cavities by linearly polarized light,in which the four reflectance dips are attributed to Fabry–Perot cavity resonances in the coaxial cavity.A coaxial waveguide mode TE11 will exist in these annular cavities,and the wavelengths of these reflectance dips are effectively tailored by changing the geometrical pattern of slot cavity and the dielectric materials filled in the cavities.These resonant wavelengths are localized in annular cavities with large electric field enhancement and dissipate gradually due to metal loss.The formation of an absorption peak can be explained from the aspect of phase matching conditions.We observed that the proposed structure can be tuned over the broad spectral range of 600–4000 nm by changing the outer and inner radii of the annular gaps,gap surface topography.Meanwhile,different lengths of the cavity may cause the shift of resonance dips.Also,we study the field enhancement at different vertical locations of the slit.In addition,dielectric materials filling in the annular gaps will result in a shift of the resonance wavelengths,which make the annular cavities good candidates for refractive index sensors.The refractive index sensitivity of annular cavities can also be tuned by the geometry size and the media around the cavity.Annular cavities with novel applications can be implied as surface enhanced Raman spectra substrates,refractive index sensors,nano-lasers,and optical trappers.

Ambiguous Cylinders: a New Class of Impossible Objects

This paper presents a new class of surfaces that give two quite different appearances when they are seen from two special viewpoints. The inconsistent appearances can be perceived by simultaneously viewing them directly and in a mirror. This phenomenon is a new type of optical illusion, and we have named it the ＂ambiguous cylinder illusion＂, because it is typically generated by cylindrical surfaces. We consider why this illusion arises, and we present a mathematical method for designing ambiguous cylinders.

The specific acoustic impedance of aperture on cylindrical surface

The acoustic impedance caused by sound radiation at the terminals of the aperture on cylindrical surface is analyzed based upon rigorous sound theory. In low frequency range, the approximate solution of the specific acoustic resistance is derived. Special treatments are introduced in order to simplify the solution of the specific acoustic reactance. It is verified that the specific acoustic reactance of such an aperture is equal to that of a similar aperture on the infinitely large plane when the small quantities of high order are neglected.
