The genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized to identify the structural damage severity of confirmed damaged locations. Furthermore, a systematic damage identification program based on GA is developed on MATLAB platform. ANSYS is employed to conduct the finite element analysis of complicated civil engineering structures, which is embedded with interface technique. The two-step damage identification is verified by a finite element model of Xinxingtang Highway Bridge and a laboratory beam model based on polyvinylidens fluoride (PVDF). The bridge model was constructed with 57 girder segments, and simulated with 58 measurement points. The damaged segments were located accurately by GRC index regardless of damage extents and noise levels. With stiffness reduction factors of detected segments as variables, the GA program evolved for 150 generations in 6 h and identified the damage extent with the maximum errors of 1% and 3% corresponding to the noise to signal ratios of 0 and 5%, respectively. In contrast, the common GA-based method without using GRC index evolved for 600 generations in 24 h, but failed to obtain satisfactory results. In the laboratory test, PVDF patches were used as dynamic strain sensors, and the damage locations were identified due to the fact that GRC indexes of points near damaged elements were smaller than 0.6 while those of others were larger than 0.6. The GA-based damage quantification was also consistent with the value of crack depth in the beam model.展开更多

The pseudo strain energy density （PSED） is defined and used to build two major damage indexes, the average pseudo strain energy density （APSED） and the average pseudo strain energy density rate （APSEDR）. Probability and mathematical statistics are utilized to derive a standardized damage index. Furthermore, by applying the analytic relation between the strain energy release rate and the stress intensity factor, an analytic solution of crack depth is derived. For the dynamic strain signals, the wavelet packet transform is used to pre-process measured data. Finally, a numerical simulation indicates that this method can effectively identify the damage location and its absolute severity.展开更多

In the process, totally two kinds of ECC with different tensile properties, 7 series of flat panels with different top surface figures and 3 U-shape panels with different inner surface forms were investigated. To evaluate the performance of the permanent formworks, small ECC-concrete composite beams were cast and tested mechanically. The 4-point bending test results show that the use of pre-cast ECC panels as permanent formwork can significantly improve the load capacity and toughness of a concrete member, effectively dispersing single widely opened crack in concrete into multiple ones in ECC. Most permanent formworks show perfect bond with the concrete cast on them, while the ones with partially debonded zone achieve the best mechanical performance. The U-shape permanent formworks show better performances than the flat ones, achieving much betler improvements in both the load capacity and toughness, together with better crack width control.展开更多

This situation is well manifested in graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb structure of carbon atoms with only one atomic layer thickness. In particular, strained graphene can result in both charging effects and pseudo-magnetic fields, so that controlled strain on a perfect graphene lattice can be tailored to yield desirable electronic properties. Here, we describe the theoretical foundation for strain-engineering of the electronic properties of graphene, and then provide experimental evidence for strain-induced pseudo-magnetic fields and charging effects in monolayer graphene. We further demonstrate the feasibility of nano-scale strain engineering for graphene-based devices by means of theoretical simulations and nano-fabrication technology.展开更多

The inhibiting effects of LS on pseudo rabies virus （PRV） in swine kidney cells （PK-15 ceils） were judged by cytopathogenic effect test （CPE）, The results showed LS had a broad antimicrobial spectrum against several standard strains including gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, fungi, etc, The MIC of LS was 0.25-4.00 mg mL^-1 and its MBC was 0.25-8.00 mg mL^-1, respectively, Observation under the transmission electron microscope revealed that the cell wall of Candida albicans was distorted seriously, and the cytoplasm with many cavities was asymmetrical after being hydrolyzed by LS, The median cytotoxicity concentration （TC50） of LS was 100.0 μg mL^-1, the median effective concentration （EC50） was 0.46 μg mL^-1, and the selectivity index （TI = TC50/EC50） was 217. LS could inhibit PRV in PK-15 cells when it was added to cell culture medium at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h after PK-15 cells had been infected by PRV. From the results, we concluded that LS had broad antimicrobial spectrum and good inhibiting effects on PRV,展开更多

The composite, tested at the age of 14 d, 28 d and 56 d, shows extremely remarkable pseudo strain hardening behavior, saturated multiple cracking and ultra high ultimate strain capacity above 4% under uniaxial loading. Also, the corresponding crack widths are controlled under 50 um even at 56 days age. In the third point bending tests on thin plate specimens, the composite shows ultra high flexural ductility and multiple cracking on the tension surface. The high ultimate flexural strength/first tensile strength ratio of about 5 verifies the pseudo strain hardening behavior of UHTCC. SEM observation on fracture surfaces provides indirect evidence of optimal design for the composite.展开更多
