Compression Properties and Energy Absorption of A Novel Double Curved Beam Negative Stiffness Honeycomb Structures

This paper presents the design of a novel honeycomb structure with a double curved beam.The purpose of this design is to achieve vibration isolation for the main engine of an offshore platform and reduce impact loads.An analytical formula for the force-displacement relationship of the honeycomb single-cell structure is presented based on the modal superposition method.This formula provides a theoretical basis for predicting the compression performance of honeycomb structures.The effects of structural geometric parameters,series and parallel connection methods on the mechanical and energy absorption properties are investigated through mathematical modeling and experimental methods.Furthermore,the study focuses on the vibration isolation and impact resistance performance of honeycomb panels.The results show that the designed honeycomb structure has good mechanical and energy absorption performance,and its energy absorption effect is related to the geometric parameters and series and parallel connection methods of the structure.The isolation efficiency of the honeycomb with 4 rows and 3 columns reaches 38%.The initial isolation frequency of the isolator is 11.7 Hz.

Phase Control of Transient Optical Properties of Double Coupled Quantum-Dot Nanostructure via Gaussian Laser Beams

We theoretically analyze the transient properties of a probe field absorption and dispersion in a coupled semiconductor double-quantum-dot nanostructure.We show that in the presence of the Gaussian laser beams,absorption and dispersion of the probe field can be dramatically influenced by the relative phase between applied fields and intensity of the Gaussian laser beams.Transient and steady-state behaviors of the probe field absorption and dispersion are discussed to estimate the required switching time.The estimated range is between 5-8 ps for subluminal to superluminal light propagation.

Study on adhesively-bonded surface of tapered double cantilever specimen made of aluminum foam affected with shear force

Aluminum foam is widely used in diverse areas to minimize the weight and maximize the absorption of shock energy in lightweight structures and various bio-materials.It presents a number of advantages,such as low density,incombustibility,non-rigidity,excellent energy absorptivity,sound absorptivity and low heat conductivity.The aluminum foam with an air cell structure was placed under the TDCB Mode II tensile load by using Landmark equipment manufactured by MTS to examine the shear failure behavior.The angle of the tapered adhesively-bonded surfaces of specimens was designated as a variable,and three models were developed with the inclined angles differing from one another at 6°,8° and 10°.The specimens with the inclined angles of 6°,8° and 10° have the maximum reaction forces of 168 N,194 N when the forced displacements are 6,5 and 4.2 mm respectively.There are three specimens with the inclined angles of 10°,8° and 6° in the order of maximum reaction force.As the analysis result,the maximum equivalent stresses of 0.813 MPa and 0.895 MPa happened when the forced displacements of 6 mm and 5 mm proceeded at the models of 6° and 8°,respectively.A simulation was carried out on the basis of finite element method and the experimental design.The results of the experiment and the simulation analysis are shown not different from each other significantly.Thus,only a simulation could be confirmed to be performed in substitution of an experiment,which is costly and time-consuming in order to determine the shearing properties of materials made of aluminum foam with artificial data.

Analysis of Cr atom focusing deposition properties in the double half Gaussian standing wave field

The use of the dipole force on atoms is a new technology that is used to build nanostructures. In this way, a high quality standard nano-grating can be obtained. Based on the semi-classical model, the motion equation is investigated and the trajectories of atoms in double half Gaussian standing wave field are simulated. Compared with the Gaussian standing wave field, the double half Gaussian standing wave can well focus the Cr atoms. In order to obtain this kind of beam, a prism is designed and the experimental result shows that the beam is well generated.

Probing the fractional topological charge of a vortex light beam by using dynamic angular double slits

Vortex beams with fractional topological charge(FTC) have many special characteristics and novel applications.However, one of the obstacles for their application is the difficulty of precisely determining the FTC of fractional vortex beams. We find that when a vortex beam with an FTC illuminates a dynamic angular double slit(ADS), the far-field interference patterns that include the information of the FTC of the beam at the angular bisector direction of the ADS vary periodically. Based on this property, a simple dynamic ADS device and data fitting method can be used to precisely measure the FTC of a vortex light beam with an error of less than 5%.

Research of stress corrosion cracking of T225NG titanium alloy in loop water of high temperature and high pressure

Double cantilever beam （DCB） specimens were used to research the stress corrosion cracking of T225NG titanium alloy in loop water of high temperature and high pressure. DCB specimens were forced pre-stress, put into high pressure ataoclave , and the stress corrosion and crack expansion of specimens were observed and measured in 500 h, 1 000 h and 2000 h respectively. The results show that small expansion occurred along the direction of pre-cracking. According to calculation, the speed of cracking expansion is lower than 10 -9 m/s in 500 h and the value of K ISCC /KI is higher than 0. 75, which proves that T225NG has an excellent corrosion resistance in loop water. The main reason is that there is an oxide film on the surface of specimens. According to the analysis of energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） and X-ray diffraction （ XRD ） , the oxide film consists of TiO2. Therefore, the oxide film at the crack tip impedes the hydrogen separating out from the cathode to penetrate into titanium alloy and resists hydrogen embrittlement.
