Three kinds of composite micro-channels with metallic porous structures were designed. The sintering process was studied and optimized to obtain porous-structured micro-channels with high porosity. The flow resistance and heat transfer performance in the composite micro-channels were investigated. The composite micro-channels show acceptable flow resistance, significant enhancement of heat transfer and dramatic improvement of flow boiling stability, which indicates a promising prospect for the application in forced convective heat transfer.展开更多

The similitude conditions and relations between the similitude model and its prototype were studied in the references. This paper investigates the acoustic scale effects for the similitude model, which are influenced by loss factor, shear and rotatory inertia. At the same time, the boundary effects which are influenced by surface sound reflection are investigated in the experiment of similitude model. The results show that the acoustic scale effects may be controlled with model designing, the boundary effects can be controlled with experimental designing between the similitude model and its prototype.展开更多

The computational procedure for an analytical model including the system model formulation, complex modal analysis and seismic time history analysis is presented for this purpose. A numerical example is also provided to illustrate the analytical model. The complex modal analysis is conducted to determine the optimal damping ratio, the optimal damper stiffness and the optimal damper damping of the viscoelastic dampers for each mode of the system. For the damper stiffness and damping with optimal values, the responses can be categorized into underdamped and critically damped vibrations. Furthermore, compared to the viscous dampers with only the energy dissipation mechanism, the viscoelastic dampers with both the energy dissipation and redistribution mechanisms are more effective for increasing the damping ratio of the system. The seismic time history analysis is conducted to assess the effectiveness of the viscoelastic dampers for vibration control. Based on the optimal damping ratio, the optimal damper stiffness, the optimal damper damping of the viscoelastic dampers for a certain mode of the system, and the viscoelastic dampers can be used to effectively suppress the root-mean-square responses as well as the peak responses of the two adjacent buildings.展开更多

Motivated by the prevalence of cutouts in components, the objective of this paper is to demonstrate ability to stress analyze finite, circularly-perforated orthotropic composites whose external loading may be unknown. Recognizing difficulties in obtaining purely theoretical or numerical solutions, the paper presents a hybrid means of stress analyzing such structures. Individual stresses, including those on the edge of the hole, are obtained in a loaded finite graphite/epoxy composite tensile plate containing a round hole by processing measured values of a single displacement field with an Airy stress function in complex variables. Displacements are recorded by digital image correlation. Traction-free conditions are satisfied analytically at the edge of the hole using conformal mapping and analytic continuation. Stresses satisfy equilibrium and strains satisfy compatibility. Significant features of the technique include its wide applicability, it smooths the measured information, does not require knowing the applied loading, and the rigorous mechanics foundation by which strains are determined from measured displacements.展开更多
