不排水循环荷载作用过程中累积孔压对细砂弹性剪切模量G_(max)的影响

在土工结构物地震有效应力分析中,往往采用Hardin经验公式计算动荷作用过程中由于孔压变化对砂土初始弹性剪切模量Gmax的影响,但由于以往试验手段的限制,这种方法的有效性至今没有得到验证。为此,采用多功能三轴仪和压电陶瓷弯曲元剪切波速测试系统,研究了不排水循环荷载过程中孔压对细砂Gmax的影响。试验结果表明,细砂Gmax可由Hardin型经验公式计算,但材料参数应通过试验确定;不排水循环荷载作用过程中,细砂Gmax随孔压上升而降低,其值可由其实际平均有效应力和固结后的孔隙比通过由试验得到的Hardin型经验公式计算。

Numerical Analysis on Magnetic-induced Shear Modulus of Magnetorheological Elastomers Based on Multi-chain Model

Based on the magnetic interaction energy, using derivative of the magnetic energy density, a model is proposed to compute the magnetic-induced shear modulus of magnetorheological elastomers. Taking into account the influences of particles in the same chain and the particles in all adjacent chains, the traditional magnetic dipole model of the magnetorheological elastomers is modified. The influence of the ratio of the distance etween adjacent chains to the distance between adjacent particles in a chain on the magnetic induced shear odulus is quantitatively studied. When the ratio is large, the multi-chain model is compatible with the single chain model, but when the ratio is small, the difference of the two models is significant and can not be neglected. Making certain the size of the columns and the distance between adjacent columns, after constructing the computational model of BCT structures, the mechanical property of the magnetorheological elastomers composed of columnar structures is analyzed. Results show that, conventional point dipole model has overrated the magnetic-induced shear modulus of the magnetorheological elastomers. From the point of increasing the magnetic-induced shear modulus, when the particle volume fraction is small, the chain-like structure exhibits better result than the columnar structure, but when the particle volume fraction is large,the columnar structure will be better.

Experimental Study on the Viscoelastic Behaviors of Debris Flow Slurry

The rheological properties of most liquid in nature are between liquids and solids, including both elastic changes and viscosity changes, that is socalled ＂viscoelastic＂. Dynamic oscillatory test was used to quantitatively study the distinct viscoelastic behaviors of debris flow slurry in the shear stress conditions for the first time in this study. The debris flow slurry samples were from Jiangjiagou Ravine, Yunnan Province, China. The experimental results were found that at the low and middle stages of shearing, when the angular velocity 09〈72.46 s-1, the loss modulus （G was greater than the storage modulus （G3, i.e. G＂〉G＇. At the late stage of shearing, when the angular velocity co-72.46 s-x, the storage modulus was greater than or equal to the loss G = G, tan -〈 1 （where phase-shift modulus, i.e. ＇ 〉 ＂ angle 5=G＂,/G3, and the debris flow slurry was in a gel state. Therefore, the progress of this experimental study further reveals the mechanism of hyperconcentrated debris flows with a high velocity on low-gradient ravines.

Experimental study on mechanical properties of basalt fiber-reinforced silty clay

Fiber reinforcement technology can significantly improve the mechanical properties of soil and has been increasingly applied in geotechnical engineering.Basalt fiber is a new kind of environment-friendly and highperformance soil reinforcement material,and the mechanical properties of basalt fiber-reinforced soil have become a hot research topic.In this paper,we conducted monotonic triaxial and cyclic triaxial tests,and analyzed the influence of the fiber content,moisture content,and confining pressure on the shear characteristics,dynamic modulus,and damping ratio of basalt fiber-reinforced silty clay.The results illustrate that basalt fiber can enhance the shear strength of silty clay by increasing its cohesion.We find that the shear strength of reinforced silty clay reaches its maximum when the fiber content is approximately 0.2%and the moisture content is 18.5%(optimum moisture content).Similarly,we also find that the dynamic modulus that corresponds to the same strain first increases then decreases with increasing fiber content and moisture content and reaches its maximum when the fiber content is approximately 0.2%and the moisture content is 18.5%.The dynamic modulus is positively correlated with the confining pressure.However,the change in the damping ratio with fiber content,moisture content,and confining pressure is opposite to that of the dynamic modulus.It can be concluded that the optimum content of basalt fiber for use in silty clay is 0.2%.After our experiments,we used scanning electron microscope(SEM)to observe the microstructure of specimens with different fiber contents,and our results show that the gripping effect and binding effect are the main mechanisms of fiber reinforcement.

Fouling-release Property of Water-filled Porous Elastomers

Since the fouling-releasing ability of silicone elastomers increased as their modulus decreases, we designed and prepared composites with embedded tiny NaC1 crytals that were soluble after their immersion in water, resulting in water-filled porous elastomers. The scanning electron microscope images confirmed such a designed water-filling porous structure. The existence of many micro-drops of water in these specially designed elastomers decreased the shear storage modulus and increased the loss factors. The decrease of shear modulus plays a leading role here and is directly related to a lower critical peeling-off stress of a pseudo-barnacle on them. Therefore, such a novel preparation with cheap salts instead of an expensive silicone provides a better way to make fouling-release paints with a lower modulus, a lower critical peeling-off stress and a better fouling-release property without a significant decrease of the cross-linking density.

Enhancement in Magnetorheological Effect of Magnetorheological Elastomers by Surface Modification of Iron Particles

In order to obtain magnetorheological （MR） elastomers with high magnetorheological effect, a family of anisotropic rubber-based MR elastomers was developed using a new form of chemical modification. Three different kinds of surfactants, i.e. anionic, nonionic and compound surfactants, were employed separately to modify iron particles. The MR effect was evaluated by measuring the dynamic shear modulus of MR elastomer with a magneto-combined dynamic mechanical analyzer. Results show that the relative MR effect can be up to 188% when the iron particles are modified with 15% Span 80. Besides the surface activity of Span 80, however, such high modifying effect is partly due to the plasticizing effect of Span 80. Compared with the single surfactant, the superior surface activity of compound surfactant makes the relative MR effect reach 77% at a low content of 0.4%. Scanning electron microscope observation shows that the modification of compound surfactant results in perfect compatibility between particles and rubber matrix and special self-assembled structure of particles. Such special structure has been proved beneficial to the improvement of the relative MR effect.

Laboratory testing of a densified municipal solid waste in Beijing

Municipal solid waste （MSW） and its disposal are gaining significant importance in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering. However, conventional research is primarily focused on fresh MSW or MSW that is compacted under its own weight in the landfill. In this work, a series of tests to study the properties of a densified MSW after ground treatment were presented. The tests involved oedometer test, simple shear test, triaxial shear test, and permeability test, which were conducted to investigate the compressibility, shear strength, creep behavior and permeability of the MSW. The results show that the compressibility modulus of the MSW increases as the dry density increases. However, the influence of density on modulus decreases once the density reaches a certain value. Like most soils, the stress-strain curve of the densified MSW can be approximated by a hyperbola in the triaxial shear test. Fibrous components provide additional cohesion for MSW, but have a relatively smaller effect on friction angle. Permeability is also found to be closely related to the dry density of the MSW, i.e., MSW with a higher dry density has a smaller permeability. The permeability coefficient may be less than 10 7 cm/s if the density is high enough.

Mechanical, piezoelectric and some thermal properties of(B3) BP under pressure

Some compounds of group III-V semiconductor materials exhibit very good piezoelectric,mechanical,and thermal properties and their use in surface acoustic wave(SAW) devices operating specially at GHz frequencies.These materials have been appreciated for a long time due to their high acoustic velocities,which are important parameters for active microelectromechanical systems(MEMS) devices.For this object,first-principles calculations of the anisotropy and the hydrostatic pressure effect on the mechanical,piezoelectric and some thermal properties of the(B3) boron phosphide are presented,using the density functional perturbation theory(DFPT).The independent elastic and compliance constants,the Reuss modulus,Voigt modulus,and the shear modulus,the Kleinman parameter,the Cauchy and Born coefficients,the elastic modulus,and the Poisson ratio for directions within the important crystallographic planes of this compound under pressure are obtained.The direct and converse piezoelectric coefficients,the longitudinal,transverse,and average sound velocity,the Debye temperature,and the Debye frequency of(B3) boron phosphide under pressure are also presented and compared with available experimental and theoretical data of the literature.

Study on Low-Temperature Traction Behavior of a Space Lubricating Oil No.4116

The traction behavior of space lubricating oil No. 4116 was measured and analyzed at various oil inlet temperatures below 0 ℃ and various rolling speeds under normal loads by a test rig simulating the operating conditions of space bearings. A traction coefficient calculation model was presented. The rheological property and rheological parameters of the lubricant at a low oil inlet temperature were analyzed based on the Tevaarwerk-Johnson model. The results showed that the lubricating oil No. 4116 was sensitive to the rolling speed and had lower sensitivity to the normal load. This lubricating oil is more suitable for applications under high speed when it is used below 0 ℃. It behaves as an elastic-plastic fluid operating below 0 ℃. Both the average limiting shear stress and the average elastic shear modulus have a negative correlation with the rolling speed and oil inlet temperature and have a positive correlation with the normal load.

ASYMPTOTIC LIMITS AND STABILIZATION FOR THE 1D NONLINEAR MINDLIN-TIMOSHENKO SYSTEM

This paper shows how the so called von Karman model can be obtained as a singular limit of a modified Mindlin-Timoshenko system when the modulus of elasticity in shear κ tends to infinity, provided a regularizing term through a fourth order dispersive operator is added. Introducing damping mechanisms, the authors also show that the energy of solutions for this modified Mindlin-Timoshenko system decays exponentially, uniformly with respect to the parameter k. As κ→∞, the authors obtain the damped von Karman model with associated energy exponentially decaying to zero as well.

Analyzing and modeling rheological behavior of liver fibrosis in rats using shear viscoelastic moduli

The process of liver fibrosis changes the rheological properties of liver tissue.This study characterizes and compares liver fibrosis stages from F0 to F4 in rats in terms of shear viscoelastic moduli.Here two viscoelastic models,the Zener model and Voigt model,were applied to experimental data of rheometer tests and then values of elasticity and viscosity were estimated for each fibrosis stage.The results demonstrate that moderate fibrosis（≤F2） has a good correlation with liver viscoelasticity.The mean Zener elasticity E1 increases from（0.452±0.094） kPa（F0） to（1.311±0.717） kPa（F2）,while the mean Voigt elasticity E increases from（0.618±0.089） kPa（F0） to（1.701±0.844） kPa（F2）.The mean Zener viscosity increases from（3.499±0.186） Pa·s（F0） to（4.947±1.811） Pa·s（F2） and the mean Voigt viscosity increases from（3.379±0.316） Pa·s（F0） to（4.625±1.296） Pa·s（F2）.Compared with viscosity,the elasticity shows smaller variations at stages F1 and F2 no matter what viscoelastic model is used.Therefore,the estimated elasticity is more effective than viscosity for differentiating the fibrosis stages from F0 to F2.

Topology optimization of magnetorheological smart materials included PnCs for tunable wide bandgap design

Design and application of tunable phononic crystals(PnCs)are attracting increasing interest due to their promising capabilities to manipulate acoustic and elastic waves effectively.This paper investigates topology optimization of the magnetorheological(MR)materials including PnCs for opening the tunable and wide bandgaps.Therein,the bandgap tunability of the PnCs is achieved by shear modulus variation of MR materials under a continuously changing applied magnetic field.The pseudo elemental densities representing the bi-material distribution inside the PnC unit cell are taken as design variables and interpolated with an artificial MR penalization model.An aggregated bandgap index for enveloping the extreme values ofbandgap width and tunable range of the MR included smart PnCs is proposed as the objective function.In this context,the sensitivity analysis scheme is derived,and the optimization problem is solved with the gradient-based mathematical programming method.The effectiveness of the proposed optimization method is demonstrated by numerical examples,where the optimized solutions present tunable and stably wide bandgap characteristics under different magnetic fields.The tunable optimized PnCs based device that can provide a wider tunable bandgap range is also explored.
