低动应力下岩石分数阶Burgers本构模型

动荷载下岩石变形特性是岩土工程界的常见问题之一。为研究岩石低动应力下变形特性,基于分数阶微积分构建分数阶黏壶,将分数阶黏壶替换Burgers模型中Maxwell常值黏壶,建立了可反映低动应力荷载作用下岩石变形规律的分数阶Burgers模型(Fractional-order Burgers Model,FBM)。将动荷载分解为一个静力荷载和一个平均应力值为0的循环荷载,基于流变力学理论给出了静力作用下基于分数阶Burgers模型的岩石流变本构方程,再根据黏弹性力学理论,考虑岩石损伤、裂隙及塑性变形对动荷载下岩石储能柔量和耗能柔量造成的影响,引入储能和耗能柔量变化量,构建了循环荷载下基于分数阶Burgers模型的岩石动态响应本构方程式,最后将已获得的岩石流变本构方程式与动态响应本构方程式叠加,即得到一种新的岩石本构方程。与已有的试验结果相比,改进Burgers模型可较好地描述低动应力状态下岩石减速、等速2个阶段的变形特征,且模型参数可运用数值方法简便得到。

Strength weakening effect of high static pre-stressed granite subjected to low-frequency dynamic disturbance under uniaxial compression

This study aimed to elucidate the strength weakening effect of high static pre-stressed rocks subjected to low-frequency disturbances under uniaxial compression.Based on the uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)of granite under static loading,70%,80%,and 90%of UCS were selected as the initial high static pre-stress(σ_(p)),and then the pre-stressed rock specimens were disturbed by sinusoidal stress with amplitudes of 30%,20%,and 10%of UCS under low-frequency frequencies(f)of 1,2,5,and 10 Hz,respectively.The results show that the rockburst failure of pre-stressed granite is caused by low-frequency disturbance,and the failure strength is much lower than UCS.When theσp or f is constant,the specimen strength gradually decreases as the f or σ_(p) increases.The experimental study illustrates the influence mechanism of the strength weakening effect of high static pre-stress rocks under low-frequency dynamic disturbance,that is,high static pre-stress is the premise and leading factor of rock strength weakening,while low-frequency dynamic disturbance induces rock failure and affects the strength weakening degree.

Exploring the Low-Temperature Oxidation Chemistry of Cyclohexane in a Jet-Stirred Reactor:an Experimental and Kinetic Modeling Study

We report the investigation on the low-temperature oxidation of cyclohexane in a jet-stirred reactor over 500-742 K. Synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry （SVUV-PIMS） was used for identifying and quantifying the oxidation species. Major products, cyclic olefins, and oxygenated products including reactive hydroperoxides and high oxygen compounds were detected. Compared with n-alkanes, a narrow low-temperature window （-80 K） was observed in the low-temperature oxidation of cyclohexane. Besides, a kinetic model for cyclohexane oxidation was developed based on the CNRS model [Combust. Flame 160, 2319 （2013）], which can better capture the experimental results than previous models. Based on the modeling analysis, the 1,5-H shift dominates the crucial isomerization steps of the first and second O2 addition products in the low-temperature chain branching process of cyclohexane. The negative temperature coefficient behavior of cyclohexane oxidation results from the reduced chain branching due to the competition from chain inhibition and propagation reactions, i.e. the reaction between cyclohexyl radical and O2 and the de- composition of cyclohexylperoxy radical, both producing cyclohexene and HO2 radical, as well as the decomposition of cyclohexylhydroperoxy radical producing hex-5-en-l-al and OH radical.

Studies on a low Reynolds number airfoil for small wind turbine applications

In contrast to large horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) that are located in areas dictated by optimum wind conditions, small wind turbines are required for producing power without necessarily the best wind conditions. A low Reynolds number airfoil was designed after testing a number of low Reynolds number airfoils and then making one of our own; it was tested for use in small HAWTs. Studies using XFOIL and wind tunnel experiments were performed on the new airfoil at various Reynolds numbers. The pressure distribution, C p , the lift and drag coefficients, C L and C D , were studied for varying angles of attack, α. It is found that the airfoil can achieve very good aerodynamic characteristics at different Reynolds numbers and can be used as an efficient airfoil in small HAWTs.

Numerical and experimental investigation on emission performance of a fuel staged combustor

The low NOx emission technology has become an important feature of advanced aviation engine.A wide range of applications attempt to take advantage of the fact that staged combustion under lean-premixed-prevaporized(LPP)conditions can significantly cut down emission and improve combustion efficiency.This paper proposes a scheme with fuel centrally staged and multi-point injection.The mixing of fuel and air is improved,and the flame temperature is relative low in combustion zone,minimizing the formation of nitrogen oxides(NOx),especially thermal NOx.In terms of the field distribution of equivalence ratio and temperature obtained from Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD),a chemical reactor network(CRN),including several different ideal reactor,namely perfectly stirred reactor(PSR)and plug flow reactor(PFR),is constructed to simulate the combustion process and predict pollution emission.The influences of the pilot equivalence ratio and percentage of pilot/main fuel on NOx and carbon monoxide(CO)emission were investigated by CRN model.The effects of the pilot fuel and primary fuel on pollution emission were investigated experimentally.Finally,the effects of pilot equivalence ratio and pilot fuel proportion on NOx emission were discussed in detail by comparing predict of CRN and experimental results.
