环形燃烧室模型试验件冷态流场测量调试试验研究

为实现环形燃烧室模型试验件冷态流场测量,设计了环形燃烧室模型试验件,并在自模区工况下对采用粒子图像测速仪测量其内部冷态流场进行了调试。结果表明,可变视场透镜能很好地满足不同头部流场测量时视场变化的需求,试验件增透设计并配合滤光镜和圆偏振镜能很好地削弱试验背景光和试验件表面产生的反射光。单个头部、两个头部、六个头部获得了较好的测量结果,而环形流场因激光衰减、光腰厚度增加、测量分辨率降低,半环形流场因上下两个区域示踪粒子相关性较差,都没能实现测量,最终通过旋转试验件的方式实现了环形流场测量。所测结果能较好地揭示真实曲率效应影响下单个头部流场的细节结构、相邻两个头部之间的相互作用特性,及整个环形流场的结构特征,为环形燃烧室模型试验件冷态流场测量提供了有效方法。

Energy Dissipation Within the Wave Run-Up at Stepped Revetments

To understand the processes and energy dissipation performance caused by turbulence during the wave run-up over a stepped revetment,hydraulic model tests with steady flow conditions are conducted and correlated with unsteady flow conditions of the wave run-up within a short time frame.Under irregular waves,the run-up reduction over a stepped revetment is dependent on the Iribarren number and decreases for decreasing Iribarren numbers.Velocity gradients are found to be similar in a steady and unsteady flow regime near the pseudo-bottom.

Modeling the Tensile Properties of Soybean Protein Yarns

The tensile properties of a series of soybean protein yarns are tested in USTER THINKPAID Ⅲ. A nonlinear viscoelastic model has been proposed to describe the tensile behavior of soybean protein yarns. The model is composed of a Maxwell element, a linear spring and a nonlinear spring. The tensile properties of soybean protein yam are analyzed. The stress-strain curves of the yams are fitted. The average breaking tenacity and specific work of rupture are calculated using the average breaking strain. Comparisons indicate that theoretical predictions conform the experimental results very well.

Stress-strain analysis of loess triaxial shear test by PFC^(3D)

In order to compensate for limitations of microscopic study on loess triaxial tests, taking the loess in Longxi area as an example, the authors established the loess triaxial test model by using PFC3D software and simulating tfiaxial shear test under the different confining pressures in 0 kPa, 50 kPa and 300 kPa. Compared with laboratory triaxial shear test, the numerical simulation test has a guiding role in loess mechanical strength analysis.

Developing the Model and Environment for Validation of a Class-8 Truck

Many studies have been conducted by analyzing crash data that included road profile, site conditions, vehicle configurations and weights, driver behavior, etc.. However, limited studies have been conducted evaluating the impact of these factors on crashes and/or rollover through simulations. This is mainly due to lack of availability of verified full vehicle flexible-body models. The verification process is costly as it requires instrumentation of a heavy vehicle, scanning of road surfaces, and collection of data by running the vehicle over different road conditions, performing various maneuvering, etc. This paper presents the reverse engineering process of a class-8 truck and validation of a full flexible-body simulation model of a Wabash 53-foot trailer against the strain data recoded from proving ground testing of an instrumented truck. Simulation results show that, with the exception of the noise from the strain gage data from instrumented test run at 30 mph, there is a good agreement in periodicity and relative amplitude with the ADAMS model. A comparison of strain data from the flex-body model and the instrumented truck shows that the modeling and verification approach presented in this paper can be confidently used to validate the full flexible-body models developed for specific analyses.

XML is an important technology for Internet-based data exchange with far reaching capabilities be-yond for just data exchange. The paper describes the first results of a project that aims to explore the applicabil-ity of XML technology for web-based software engineering with the emphasis on collaborative software testing in-volving the use of statechart. The paper presents the approach of building the statechart schema with XML Sche-ma. It also describes the use of the schema in a web-based collaborative software testing CASE environment.

Clinical application of full automatic animal experimental cabin of normobaric/hypobaric hypoxia and high carbon dioxide

To explore the feasibility of the full automatic animal experimental cabin to establish the animal models in normobaric/hypobaric hypoxic and high carbon dioxide environment. Methods： Sixty SPF-class male DS rats were divided into 2 groups, 20 for normobaric, hypoxic conditions and the other 40 for hypobaric, hypoxic conditions. For each group, the pulmonary arterial pressure and carotid arterial pressure indicators of rats were examined by using the physiological multi-detector, and the pulmonary vascular changes in the structure were observed. Results： The normobaric/hypobaric hypoxic with high carbon dioxide environment can promote the formation of pulmonary hypertension and accelerate changes in pulmonary vascular remodeling, and promote the right ventricular hypertrophy. Conclusion： Clinical applications showed that the animal experimental cabin has observed and controlled accurately. The result was safe, reliable and reproducible. The cabin can successfully establish the pulmonary hypertension model in normobaric/hypobaric hypoxic with high carbon dioxide environment, and in order to study the physiological mechanism of a variety of circulation and respiratory diseases caused by lack of oxygen, which provided an experimental technology platform for clinical research.

An Application of Damage Detection Methods to A Real World Structure Subjected to Ground Motion Excitation

This paper aims at investigating the efficacy of different state-of-art damage detection methods when applied to real worm structures subjected to ground motion excitations, for which the literature contributions are, at present, still not fully comprehensive. To this purpose the paper analyses two test structures： （1） a four-story scaled steel frame tested on a shake table in a controlled laboratory conditions, and （2） a seven-story reinforced concrete building monitored during the seismic excitations of the 1999 Chi-Chi （Taiwan） Earthquake main shock and numerous fore and afiershocks. Some model based damage approaches and statistics based damage indexes are reviewed. The different methodologies and indexes are, then, applied to the two test structures with the final aim of analysing their performance and validity within the case of a laboratory scaled model and a real world structure subjected to input ground motion.
