Dynamic strength of rock with single planar joint under various loading rates at various angles of loads applied

Intact rock-like specimens and specimens that include a single, smooth planar joint at various angles are prepared for split Hopkinson pressure bar（SHPB） testing. A buffer pad between the striker bar and the incident bar of an SHPB apparatus is used to absorb some of the shock energy. This can generate loading rates of 20.2-4627.3 GPa/s, enabling dynamic peak stresses/strengths and associated failure patterns of the specimens to be investigated. The effects of the loading rate and angle of load applied on the dynamic peak stresses/strengths of the specimens are examined. Relevant experimental results demonstrate that the failure pattern of each specimen can be classified as four types： Type A, integrated with or without tiny flake-off; Type B, slide failure; Type C, fracture failure; and Type D, crushing failure. The dynamic peak stresses/strengths of the specimens that have similar failure patterns increase linearly with the loading rate, yielding high correlations that are evident on semi-logarithmic plots. The slope of the failure envelope is the smallest for slide failure, followed by crushing failure, and that of fracture failure is the largest. The magnitude of the plot slope of the dynamic peak stress against the loading rate for the specimens that are still integrated after testing is between that of slide failure and crushing failure. The angle of application has a limited effect on the dynamic peak stresses/strengths of the specimens regardless of the failure pattern, but it affects the bounds of the loading rates that yield each failure pattern, and thus influences the dynamic responses of the single jointed specimen. Slide failure occurs at the lowest loading rate of any failure, but can only occur in single jointed specimen that allows sliding.Crushing failure is typically associated with the largest loading rate, and fracture failure may occur when the loading rate is between the boundaries for slide failure and crushing failure.

NEW OPTIMAL LARGE ANGLE MANEUVER STRATEGY FOR SINGLE FLEXIBLE LINK

A component synthesis vibration suppression (CSVS) method for flexible structures is put forward. It can eliminate any unwanted orders of flexible vibration modes while achieves desired rigid motion. This method has robustness to uncertainty of frequency, which makes it practical in engineering. Several time optimal and time-fuel optimal control strategies are designed for a kind of single flexible link. Simulation results validate the feasibility of our method.

Influence of Tilted Angle on Effective Linear Energy Transfer in Single Event Effect Tests for Integrated Circuits at 130 nm Technology Node

A heavy-ion irradiation experiment is studied in digital storage cells with different design approaches in 130？nm CMOS bulk Si and silicon-on-insulator （SOI） technologies. The effectiveness of linear energy transfer （LET） with a tilted ion beam at the 130？nm technology node is obtained. Tests of tilted angles θ=0 ° , 30 ° and 60 ° with respect to the normal direction are performed under heavy-ion Kr with certain power whose LET is about 40？MeVcm 2 /mg at normal incidence. Error numbers in D flip-flop chains are used to determine their upset sensitivity at different incidence angles. It is indicated that the effective LETs for SOI and bulk Si are not exactly in inverse proportion to cosθ , furthermore the effective LET for SOI is more closely in inverse proportion to cosθ compared to bulk Si, which are also the well known behavior. It is interesting that, if we design the sample in the dual interlocked storage cell approach, the effective LET in bulk Si will look like inversely proportional to cosθ very well, which is also specifically explained.

Bragg-Angle Diffraction in Slant Gratings Fabricated by Single-Beam Interference Lithography

A single-beam interference-lithography scheme is demonstrated for the fabrication of large-area slant gratings, which requires exposure of the photoresist thin film spin-coated on a glass plate with polished side-walls to a single laser beam in the ultraviolet and requires small coherence length of the laser. No additional beam splitting scheme and no adjustments for laser-beam overlapping and for optical path-length balancing are needed. Bragg-angle diffractions are observed as strong optical extinction that is tunable with changing the angle of incidence. This device is important for the design of efficient filters, beam splitters, and photonic devices.

Association of apolipoprotein E-219T>G promoter polymorphism with primary open angle glaucoma in Turkish population

AIM:To investigate the association between apolipoprotein E(APOE)-219 T>G promoter polymorphism and primary open angle glaucoma(POAG).METHODS:Patients and healthy subjects were genotyped with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP).Genotype/allele frequencies were compared between 122 healthy subjects and in 75 POAG patients using Chi-square test.RESULTS:Although the frequency of APOE-219 GG genotype was higher in POAG group(13.3%)than in control group(6.6%),this finding was not statistically significant(P=0.09).In glaucoma patients carrying GG genotype,mean linear C/D ratio was higher and progression was more compared to glaucoma patients with GT genotype.CONCLUSION:APOE-219 T>G polymorphism does not seem to be a risk factor for the presence of glaucoma,but might play a role in deterioration of the disease,which needs further evaluation.

Enhancement of surface wettability via micro-and nanostructures by single point diamond turning

Studies on surface wettability have received tremendous interest due to their potential applications in research and industrial processes. One of the strategies to tune surface wettability is modifying surface topography at micro-and nanoscales. In this research, periodic micro-and nanostructures were patterned on several polymer surfaces by ultra-precision single point diamond turning to investigate the relationships between surface topographies at the micro-and nanoscales and their surface wettability. This research revealed that single-point diamond turning could be used to enhance the wettability of a variety of polymers, including polyvinyl chloride(PVC), polyethylene 1000(PE1000), polypropylene copolymer(PP) and polytetrafluoroethylene(PFTE), which cannot be processed by conventional semiconductor-based manufacturing processes. Materials exhibiting common wettability properties(θ≈ 90°) changed to exhibit "superhydrophobic" behavior(θ > 150°). Compared with the size of the structures, the aspect ratio of the void space between micro-and nanostructures has a strong impact on surface wettability.

The association between matrix metalloprotease-9 gene polymorphisms and primary angle-closure glaucoma in a Chinese Han population

AIM:To examine the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)of matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) gene and primary angleclosure glaucoma(PACG)in a Chinese Han population.METHODS:DNA samples were extracted from peripheral-blood mononuclear cells of 214 PACG patients and 224 healthy controls.Genotyping of rs3918249,rs3918254,rs17577 and rs3787268 in MMP-9was performed using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP)analysis and the direct sequencing technique.The association between these genetic polymorphisms and risk of PACG was estimated by χ2 test.RESULTS:The distributions of rs3918249,rs3918254,rs17577 and rs3787268 genotypes among cases and healthy controls were compatible with that from HardyWeinberg equilibrium(HWE,P】0.05).The increased frequency of CC and CT genotypes of rs3918254 were observed in PACG patients compared to healthy controls[P=0.006,P corrected(Pcorr)=0.048].The haplotype analysis showed that the CCGG haplotype was nominal associated with PACG(P=0.015),however,the significant was lost when the Bonferroni correction was used(Pcorr=0.105).CONCLUSION:Our results revealed that rs3918254 in MMP-9 may be a susceptible locus to PACG in China,people with the CC and CT genotypes of rs3918254 are more susceptible to PACG.The susceptibility to PACG inChinese Han patients may be not influenced by SNPs rs3918249,rs3787268 and rs17577 in MMP-9.

Graded index profiles and loss-induced single-mode characteristics in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with petal-shape holey structure

The 850-nm oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with petal-shape holey structures are presented. An area-weighted average refractive index model is given to analyse their effective index profiles, and the graded index distribution in the holey region is demonstrated. The index step between the optical aperture and the holey region is obtained which is related merely to the etching depth. Four types of holey vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with different parameters are fabricated as well as the conventional oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. Compared with the conventional oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser without etched holes, the holey vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser possesses an improved beam quality due to its graded index distribution, but has a lower output power, higher threshold current and lower slope efficiency. With the hole number increased, the holey vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser can realize the single-mode operation throughout the entire current range, and reduces the beam divergence further. The loss mechanism is used to explain the single-mode characteristic, and the reduced beam divergence is attributed to the shallow etching. High coupling efficiency of 86% to a multi-mode fibre is achieved for the single-mode device in the experiment.

Fault Line Selection Method Considering Grounding Fault Angle for Distribution Network

In the distribution network system with its neutral point grounding via arc suppression coil, when single-phase grounding fault occurred near zero-crossing point of the phase voltage, the inaccuracy of the line selection always existed in existing methods. According to the characteristics that transient current was different between the fault feeder and other faultless feeders, wavelet transformation was performed on data of the transient current within a power frequency cycle after the fault occurred. Based on different fault angles, wavelet energy in corresponding frequency band was chosen to compare. The result was that wavelet energy in fault feeder was the largest of all, and it was larger than sum of those in other faultless feeders, when the bus broke down, the disparity between each wavelet energy was not significant. Fault line could be selected out by the criterion above. The results of MATLAB/simulink simulation experiment indicated that this method had anti-interference capacity and was feasible.

Single link tracking scheme based on UWB localization

To investigate the low-complex and high-precise tracking method, a novel single link tracking scheme based on UWB localization is proposed. Two antenna arrays are settled at the fixed station （FS） to receive the UWB signal from mobile terminal （MT）, one FS is enough for the proposed scheme to track the MT. The UWB multipath detection algorithm for time difference of arrival （TDOA） estimation is presented and TDOA is thus adopted to estimate angle of arrival （AOA）, avoiding the synchronization and complicated beamforming for AOA. The impacts of localization errors, concluding multipath and non-line-of-sight （NLOS） errors are simulated for the proposed track scheme. It is demonstrated that the simulation curve can match the real target moving, and the feasibility of the proposed scheme is proved.

Influence of chirality on the thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes

The influence of chirality on the thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNTs） is discussed in this paper, using a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics （NEMD） method. The tube lengths of the SWNTs studied here are 20, 50, and 100 nm, respectively, and at each length the relationship between chiral angle and thermal conductivity of a SWNT is revealed. We find that if the tube length is relatively short, the influence of chirality on the thermal conductivity of a SWNT is more obvious and that a SWNT with a larger chiral angle has a greater thermal conductivity. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of a zigzag SWNT is smaller than that of an armchair one. As the tube length becomes longer, the thermal conductivity increases while the influence of chirality on the thermal conductivity decreases.

Evaluating correlation between the ocular biometry and genetic variants of MYOC and ABCA1 with primary angleclosure glaucoma in a cohort from northern China

AIM: To investigate whether the gene variants in MYOC and ABCA1 are associated with primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG) and anterior chamber depth(ACD) and axial length(AL) in samples from northern China. METHODS: The present case-control association study consisted of 500 PACG patients and 720 unrelated controls. Each participant was genotyped for eleven single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) in MYOC and ABCA1 genes(rs12076134, rs183532, rs235875 and rs235913 in MYOC, rs2422493, rs2487042, rs2472496, rs2472493, rs2487032, rs2472459 and rs2472519 near ABCA1) using an improved multiplex ligation detection reaction(iMLDR) technique. The genetic association analyses were performed by PLINK using a logistic regression model. The association between genotypes and ocular biometric parameters was performed by SPSS using generalized estimation equation. Bonferroni corrections wereimplemented and the statistical power was calculated by the Power and Sample Size Calculation. RESULTS: Two SNPs rs183532 and rs235875 as well as a haplotype TTC in MYOC were nominally associated with PACG despite the significance was lost after Bonferroni correction. No association was observed between ABCA1 and PACG, neither did the association between these variants and ACD as well as AL. CONCLUSION: The present study suggests MYOC and ABCA1 do not play a part in the pathogenesis of PACG as well as the regulation of ocular biometric parameters in a northern Chinese population. Further investigations with large sample size are needed to verify this consequence.

Temperature Dependent Resistivity of Chiral Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in the Presence of Coherent Light Source

We have studied the axial resistivity of chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in the presence of a combined direct current and high frequency alternating fields. We employed semiclassical Boltzmann equations approach and compared our results with a similar study that examined the circumferential resistivity of these unique materials. Our work shows that these materials display similar resistivity for both axial and circumferential directions and this largely depends on temperature, intensities of the applied fields and material parameters such as chiral angle. Based on these low-temperature bidirectional conductivity responses, we propose chiral SWCNTs for design of efficient optoelectronic devices.

离子束抛光对单晶硅表面质量影响的分子动力学模拟研究

离子束抛光作为一种超精密加工技术,被应用于材料表面抛光的精抛阶段,而其原子量级的去除效果使得它的加工过程与加工效果难以直接观察,因此为了能够从微观尺度研究离子束抛光的加工效果以及加工参数对材料表面粗糙度与表面损伤的影响,提出使用分子动力学模拟的方法研究离子束抛光过程,通过对氩离子轰击单晶硅的仿真模拟,分析加工参数对单晶硅表面粗糙度与晶格损伤的影响规律,指导实际的加工工艺设计.研究发现,在不同加工角度下,离子剂量对于表面粗糙度的影响规律不同,低角度(0°~40°)低剂量以及高角度(>50°)高剂量的加工有助于达到较低的表面粗糙度;随着加工角度的增加,离子束对晶体表面造成的损伤逐渐减少,当加工角度大于40°时能够大幅度减少晶格损伤.模拟结果显示在实际的离子束抛光过程中,为了得到高质量的表面,应该采取高角度高剂量的加工方式以达到既降低材料表面粗糙度又减小对材料表面晶格产生损伤的目的.

Effect of Skew Angle of Holes on the Thermal Fatigue Behavior of a Ni-based Single Crystal Superalloy

In the present work,holes of various skew angles were electrochemically machined in the middle of the plate specimens in a Ni-based single crystal superalloy and crack initiation and propagation around holes during thermal fatigue cycles（20–1100 ℃） were investigated.It was demonstrated that the skew angles had a significant effect on the initiation and propagation of thermal fatigue cracks.During thermal fatigue process,stress concentration occurred at the edge of the holes.As for skew angles,the maximum stress concentration appeared at the acute side of holes.The maximum stress concentration resulted in plastic deformation at the acute side of the 30° hole,driving the thermal fatigue cracks to initiate after 220 cycles and propagate along [011] direction.However,the stresses concentrated at the edge of 90° or 60° holes were not large enough to initiate cracks even after 580 thermal cycles.This work will help to understand the local deformation behavior in the vicinity of cooling holes with various skew angles and have serious design implications for turbine blades.

Sensitivity analysis of single-angle polarization reflectance observed by satellite

Two channels of the Cloud Aerosol Polarimetric Imager,onboard the TanSat-Chinese carbon dioxide observation satellite,are designed to detect the polarization state of radiation reflected by the earth-atmosphere system in a single-viewing angle.Aiming to understand how the earth and atmospheric parameters affect the polarization state of radiation,we conduct a sensitivity analysis of the polarized reflectance at the top of atmosphere(TOA)with respect to the aerosol microphysical parameters,atmospheric profiles,and surface polarization properties.It is found that(1)the TOA polarization reflectance at 0.66 lm is most sensitive to the real part of the aerosol complex refractive index,the mean radius of the fine mode aerosol particles,as well as atmospheric pressure and temperature profiles;(2)the TOA polarization reflectance at 1.64 lm is sensitive to the volume ratio between the coarse mode and fine mode particles as well,but it is not sensitive to atmospheric profiles;and(3)surface polarization properties have a relatively weak influence on the TOA polarization reflectance at both 0.66 and 1.64 lm.

两种钛合金半穿甲战斗部侵彻单层钢靶性能试验研究

选取亚稳态β型TB17和高损伤容限α+β型TC4-DT两种高韧钛合金材料,对2种钛合金材料在高应变率条件下动态力学响应特性进行测试分析,并应用125 mm火炮发射装置开展2种钛合金半穿甲战斗部侵彻单层钢靶性能试验研究。结果表明,作为半穿甲战斗部的壳体材料,应选择屈服强度与冲击韧性匹配性好的钛合金,其中更应关注钛合金材料的塑性变形能力和抗冲击韧性;随着侵彻着角的增加,侵彻单层钢靶过程弹体头部侵蚀量及径向墩粗程度更严重,不利于弹体保持侵彻强度及装药安定性。
