地壳、上地幔变形属性的判别

基于Ｍａｘｗｅｌｌ和Ｋｅｌｖｉｎ流变模型，以延续时间与松弛期的比值，即松弛数，作为衡量指标，对地壳、上地幔不同层次的变形属性进行了判别。结果表明，除软流圈地幔主要为粘性流动外，其上各层的情况是：在漫长的地质过程中，不仅岩石圈地幔和下地壳属于粘性，上地壳也有可能处于粘性流动状态；在延续数十年的情况下，上地壳以及岩石圈地幔都可能呈弹性状态；延续时间介乎二者，通常上地壳为弹性，下地壳和岩石圈地幔为粘性或滞弹粘性。此外，还结合变形属性的判别，就岩石圈地幔的流动和板内的驱动力远程传递等问题进行了讨论。

Multiple attribute decision making method based on trapezoid fuzzy linguistic variables

The problem of multiple attribute decision making under fuzzy linguistic environments, in which decision makers can only provide their preferences （attribute values）in the form of trapezoid fuzzy linguistic variables（TFLV）, is studied. The formula of the degree of possibility between two TFLVs is defined, and some of its characteristics are studied. Based on the degree of possibility of fuzzy linguistic variables, an approach to ranking the decision alternatives in multiple attribute decision making with TFLV is developed. The trapezoid fuzzy linguistic weighted averaging （TFLWA） operator method is utilized to aggregate the decision information, and then all the alternatives are ranked by comparing the degree of possibility of TFLV. The method can carry out linguistic computation processes easily without loss of linguistic information, and thus makes the decision results reasonable and effective. Finally, the implementation process of the proposed method is illustrated and analyzed by a practical example.

Deformation division of metal flow behavior during extrusion process of 7075 aluminum alloy

To reduce defects caused by non-homogeneous metal flow in conventional extrusion,a die with guiding angle was designed to improve the metal flow behavior. The characteristic quantities such as the second invariant of the deviator stress J2 and Lode's coefficient μ were employed for the division of deformation area. The results show that when the metal is extruded with the guiding angle,no metal flow interface forms at the container's bottom,the dead zone completely disappears,the deformation types of the metal in the plastic deformation area change from three types to one type of tension,and the homogeneity of the deformation as well as metal flow are greatly improved. The non-homogeneous metal flow at the final stage of extrusion is improved,reducing the shrinkage hole at the axis end. The radial stress of the furthest point from the axis is transformed from tensile stress to compressive stress and the axial stress,and decreased from 70.8 to 34.8 MPa. Therefore,the surface cracks caused by additional stress are greatly reduced.

High-pressure torsion deformation process of bronze/niobium composite

The deformation process in the material volume under high-pressure torsion(HPT)was studied.As a model object for the observation of deformation process,we used a composite comprising a bronze matrix and niobium filaments.The arrangements of the niobium filaments in the bronze matrix and their size have regular geometry.This allows us to monitor and measure the displacement of the niobium filaments in the sample volume,which results from HTP.The bronze/niobium composite samples were subjected to HPT at room temperature and 6 GPa,and the number of revolutions N=1/4,1/2,1,2,3 and 5.It was shown that HPT with revolution number of 1 leads to the 360° rotation of entire sample volume without sample slippage.Similar deformational behavior during HPT can be expected for high-ductility metallic materials.The increase in the number of revolutions more than 2 leads to twisting the niobium filaments in the sample volume and the formation of 'vortex' multilayer structure.The mechanisms for the formation of such structures were discussed.

Simulation of bulk metal forming processes using one-step finite element approach based on deformation theory of plasticity

The bulk metal forming processes were simulated by using a one-step finite element(FE)approach based on deformation theory of plasticity,which enables rapid prediction of final workpiece configurations and stress/strain distributions.This approach was implemented to minimize the approximated plastic potential energy derived from the total plastic work and the equivalent external work in static equilibrium,for incompressibly rigid-plastic materials,by FE calculation based on the extremum work principle.The one-step forward simulations of compression and rolling processes were presented as examples,and the results were compared with those obtained by classical incremental FE simulation to verify the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.

Description of Properties of Triaxial Superdeformed Bands in Odd-A Lu Isotopes

Properties of the triaxial superdeformed （TSD） bands of odd-A Lu isotopes are investigated systematically within the supersymmetry scheme including many-body interactions and a perturbation possessing the S0（5） （or SU（5）） symmetry on the rotational symmetry. Quantitatively good results of the γ-ray energies, the dynamical moments of inertia and the spin of the TSD bands in odd-A Lu isotopes are obtained. The calculation shows that the competition between the pairing and anti-pairing effects exists in these TSD bands. Meanwhile, the SU（3） symmetry in TSD bands are broken more seriously than in superdeformed （SD） bands.

Spatial Estimation of Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity from Terrain Attributes Using Regression,Kriging,and Artificial Neural Networks

Several methods,including stepwise regression,ordinary kriging,cokriging,kriging with external drift,kriging with varying local means,regression-kriging,ordinary artificial neural networks,and kriging combined with artificial neural networks,were compared to predict spatial variation of saturated hydraulic conductivity from environmental covariates.All methods except ordinary kriging allow for inclusion of secondary variables.The secondary spatial information used was terrain attributes including elevation,slope gradient,slope aspect,profile curvature and contour curvature.A multiple jackknifing procedure was used as a validation method.Root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) were used as the validation indices,with the mean RMSE and mean MAE used to judge the prediction quality.Prediction performance by ordinary kriging was poor,indicating that prediction of saturated hydraulic conductivity can be improved by incorporating ancillary data such as terrain variables.Kriging combined with artificial neural networks performed best.These prediction models made better use of ancillary information in predicting saturated hydraulic conductivity compared with the competing models.The combination of geostatistical predictors with neural computing techniques offers more capability for incorporating ancillary information in predictive soil mapping.There is great potential for further research and development of hybrid methods for digital soil mapping.

Principle and theoretical analysis of continuous roll forming for three-dimensional surface parts

Continuous roll forming(CRF) is a novel forming process for three-dimensional surface parts,in which a pair of bendable forming rolls is used as sheet metal forming tool.By controlling the gap between the upper and lower forming rolls,sheet metal is non-uniformly extended in the longitudinal direction while it is bent in the transverse direction during the rolling process.As a result,longitudinal bending is gained and a doubly curved surface is formed.With the rotations of the forming rolls,the sheet metal is deformed consecutively,and a three-dimensional surface part is shaped continuously.In this paper,the mechanism of the three-dimensional surface formation in CRF is set forth.Through theoretical analysis of the CRF process,the governing equations for the bending deformation in rolling process are presented.Based on the simplification on the deformation and material model,the formulation to calculate the longitudinal bending deformation is derived,and the methods to design the compression ratio and the roll gap are given,the effects of compression ratio of rolling and the width of blank sheet on the longitudinal bending curvature are analyzed.The forming experiments on typical surface parts and measured results show that forming results with good precision can be obtained by CRF process.

Size effect for achieving high mechanical performance body-centered cubic metals and alloys

Submicron and nanostructured body-centered cubic(BCC) metals exhibit unusual mechanical performance compared to their bulk coarse-grained counterparts, including high yield strength and outstanding ductility. These properties are important for their applications in micro-, nano-and even atomic-scale devices as well as for their usages as components for enhancing the performances of structural materials. One aspect of the unusual mechanical properties of small-sized BCC metals is closely related to their dimensional confinement. Decreasing the dimensions of single crystalline metals or the grain sizes of polycrystalline metals contributes significantly to the strengthening of the small-sized BCC metals.In the last decade, significant progress has been achieved in understanding the plasticity and deformation behaviors of small-sized BCC metals. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review on the current understanding of size effects on the plasticity and deformation mechanisms of small-sized BCC metals. The techniques used for in situ characterization of the deformation behavior and mechanical properties of small-sized samples are also presented.

Numerical Investigation on Aeroelastic Behavior of Composite Material Plate Excited by Pulsed Air Jet

Nowadays, carbon fiber composite material is becoming more and more popular in aero engine industry due to its high specific strength and stiffness. Laminate carbon fiber composite material is widely used to manufacture the high load wide chord fan blade, containment casing, etc. The aeroelastic behavior of composite product is critical for the optimization of the product design and manufacturing. In order to explore its aeroelastic property, this paper discusses the coupled simulation of aerodynamic excitation applied on laminate composite material plate. Mechanical behavior of composite material plate is different from that of isotropic material plate such as metal plate, because it is anisotropy and has relative high mechanical damping due to resin between plies. These plates to be studied are designed using 4 different layup configurations which follow the design methods for composite fan blade. The numerical simulation of force response analysis mainly uses single frequency mechanical force input to simulate the electromagnetic shakers or other actuators, which could transmit mechanical force to the test parts. Meanwhile, pulsed air excitation is another way to "shake" the test parts. This excitation method induces aero damping into the test part and simulates the unsteady flow in aero engine, which could cause aeroelastic problems, such as flutter, forced response and non-synchronous vibration(NSV). In this study, numerical simulation using coupled method is conducted to explore the characteristics of laminate composite plates and the property of aerodynamic excitation force generated by pulsed air jet device. Modal analysis of composite plate shows that different ply stacking sequences have a significant impact on the plate vibration characteristics. Air pulse frequency and amplitude in flow field analysis are calibrated by hot wire anemometer results. As the air pulse frequency and amplitude are varied, incident angle of flow and layup configurations of plate can be analyzed in details by the simulations. Through the comparisons of all these factors, air pulse excitation property and the aeroelastic behavior of composite material plate are estimated. It would provide a possible way to guide the next-step experimental work with the pulsed air rig. The new composite fan blade design can be evaluated through the process.

Planar bi-metallic lattice with tailorable coefficient of thermal expansion

A mechanical metamaterial that has a tailorable coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE)is promising for guaranteeing the reliability of electrical and optical instruments under thermal fluctuations.Despite growing research on the design and manufacturing of metamaterials with extraordinary CTEs,it remains challenging to achieve a nearly isotropic tailorable CTE while ensuring a sufficient load bearing capacity for applications,such as mechanical supporting frames.In this research,we propose a type of bi-metallic lattice whose CTE is artificially programmed from positive(75 ppm/K)to negative(−45 ppm/K),and whose equivalent modulus can be as high as 80 MPa.The bi-metallic lattice with a tailorable CTE in two orthogonal directions can be readily assembled without special modifications to construct large-scale planar structures with desired isotropic CTEs.A theoretical model that considers the actual configuration of the bi-metallic joint is developed;the model precisely captures the thermal deformations of lattice structures with varied geometries and material compositions.Guided by our theoretical design method,planar metallic structures that were manufactured using Al,Ti,and Invar alloy were experimentally characterized;the structures exhibited outstanding performance when compared with typical engineering materials.
