Sandstone samples from this area usually have low porosity and poor connectivity. We analyze the observed velocity data of tight sandstone samples with the Mori- Tanaka model, and give the sandstone framework physical model in this area based on theory and experiment analysis. The matrix modulus was obtained by an empirical relationship and then the experiment data were compared with the values predicted by the Mori-Tanaka model with different pore shapes. The results revealed that the experiment data were close to the model with low pore aspect ratio. Considering the matrix modulus and pore shape variation, we find that, under the condition of small mineral composition change, the effective pore aspect ratio of these samples increased with porosity evidently.展开更多

However, the regional characteristics of the seismic elastic properties need to be better determined. The ultrasonic velocities of shale samples were measured under dry conditions and the relations between elastic properties and petrology were systemically analyzed. The results suggest that 1) the effective porosity is positively correlated with clay content but negatively correlated with brittle minerals, 2) the dry shale matrix consists of clays, quartz, feldspars, and carbonates, and 3) organic matter and pyrite are in the pore spaces, weakly coupled with the shale matrix. Thus, by assuming that all connected pores are only present in the clay minerals and using the Gassmann substitution method to calculate the elastic effect of organic matter and pyrite in the pores, a relatively simple rock-physics model was constructed by combining the self-consistent approximation (SCA), the differential effective medium (DEM), and Gassmann's equation. In addition, the effective pore aspect ratio was adopted from the sample averages or estimated from the carbonate content. The proposed model was used to predict the P-wave velocities and generally matched the ultrasonic measurements very well.展开更多

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of cross sectional dimensions on the behavior of L-shaped structural members and to assess their earthquake performance. In order to investigate L-shaped RC structural members, the special experiment setup and four type of 1/2 scaled specimens which have different aspect ratio were constructed. The specimens were loaded in line with the major principal axes direction laterally. Axial load ratio was 0.1 and cross section height to thickness ratios were' 3:1, 5:1, 8:1, 10:1. Cross section thickness was 120 mm which corresponds to (360:120), (600:120), (960:120), (1,200:120) wall legs cross sectional dimensions in mm. The specimens height was 1,500 mm, together with upper and lower slabs overall height was 2,000 mm. Concrete compression strength was 30 N/mm2, steel yield stress 420 N/mm2 and vertical reinforcement ratio was 1% for all specimens. According to the test results, the specimen of which the aspect ratio is 3 (360:120) has shown column behavior, the specimen of which the aspect ratio is 5 (600:120) has shown slender wall behavior and last two specimens of which the aspect ratios are 8 (960:120) and 10 (1,200:120) have shown squat wall behavior. When considering the cracking patterns and hysteretic behavior, since the aspect ratio 8, the specimens show flexure-shear interaction behavior and prone to brittle failure.展开更多

The influences of nonlinear experimental aerodynamic forces and dynamic pressures on the wing loads are studied in the longitudinal and lateral maneuver states. The flight loads of the wing fixed at the root are calculated at different angles of attack. The aileron efficiency with respect to the dynamic pressures and aileron deflections are also studied. The results indicate that the flight loads of the wings vary nonlinearly with the angle of attack and dynamic pressure. Due to the high-lift aerofoil, elastic components are a large portion of the wing loads, especially for small angles of attack and high dynamic pressure condi-tions. The aileron efficiency is significantly affected by aileron deflections, dynamic pressures and angles of attack when the nonlinear experimental aerodynamic forces are used for calculation. In states with high dynamic pressures and large aileron deflections, aileron reversal can occur. The aileron deflection and angle of attack have a nonlinear effect on the aileron efficiency. An efficient method for analyzing the flight loads and structural design of high-aspect-ratio wings is derived in this study, and the analysis can provide insight into the distribution of flight loads for high-aspect-ratio wings.展开更多

The nonlinear relationship between mass, stiffness and damping matrices of aeroelastic systems and shape variables makes the flutter characteristics vary nonlinearly as shape variables change. The computation cost of finite difference method is high and it cannot solve precisely shape sensitivities. An analytic method is developed to compute sensitivities of flutter characteristics of low aspect ratio wings to shape parameters, which include aspect ratio, taper ratio, sweep angle, and area. On the basis of the equivalent plate model and piston theory, analytic sensitivities of mass, stiffness and damping matrices with respect to various shape parameters are computed. The equivalent plate model is a continuous aeroelasticity analysis model oriented toward wing design. The flutter equation is solved by tracking the root locus of the system state space model. Lancaster's adjoint method is used to solve the eigenvalue derivatives and shape sensitivities of flutter characteristics. Linear Taylor approximation based on the analytic sensitivities is used to predict the variation of flutter speed with respect to shape variables. Comparison of these results with those from reanalysis indicates that Taylor approximation based on analytic sensitivities can precisely predict trends of flutter characteristics near the baseline configuration, but the applied neighborhood is small for sweep and area. The method can help designers make a judicious choice of wing shape parameters for preventing flutter in the preliminary design phase of aircraft.展开更多

For each cell the data cover a range of a little over a decade of Rayleigh number Ra and for all cells they jointly span the range 6x105 〈 Ra 〈1011. The two implicit equations of the Grossmann-Lohse (GL) model together with the empirical finite conductivity cor- rection factorf(X) were fitted to obtain estimates of Nu∞ in the presence of perfectly conducting plates, and the obtained Nu∞ is independent of the cells' aspect ratios. A combination of two-power-law, Nu∞= O.025Ra0.357+O.525Ra0.168, can be used to de- scribe Nu∞(Ra). The fitted exponents 0.357 and 0.168 are respectively close to the predictions 1/3 and 1/5 of the 11μ. and 1Vμ re- gimes of the GL model. Furthermore, a clear transition from the II. regime to the IVμ regime with increasing Ra is revealed.展开更多

One of the parameters that impacts the tortuosity value is the geometry of the solid phase which, in this study, is considered as stochas- tically-placed rectangular particles. Through lattice Boltz- mann modelling (LBM), we determined the impact of particle aspect ratio on the intrinsic tortuosity-porosity relationships of two-dimensional porous media composed of rectangular particles. These relationships were isolated for materials with grain (particle) aspect ratios of e { 1, 2, 3 } and porosities from [0.55 - 0.95]. We determined that a minimum of 6, 8 and 10 stochastic simulations, respec- tively, were required to calculate these average tortuosity values in laminar flow (Re 〈〈 1). This novel application of the LBM to study the effects of porosity and aspect ratio of rectangular grains on tortuosity can be used in the tailoring of materials for clean energy.展开更多

We discussed the effects of the aspect ratio in the test models. Additionally the unsteady, two-dimensional, compressible Euler equations were solved for the NACA 0012 airfoil. Experiments were performed utilizing the conventional gas driven shock tube as the intermittent transonic wind tunnel. The aspect ratios of the models are about 0.86 and 1.5, respectively. The Mach numbers M 2 are about 0.84. The Reynolds numbers of the present experimental conditions were constant that Re based on chord length is about 4.0×10 5 . The results are as follows: in different aspect ratios, the difference of the shock wave location is confirmed though the Mach number and Reynolds number are same. It indicates the different correction Mach number by the effects of the side wall boundary layer though the nominal Mach number measured the same value. Also, on the difference of shock wave location for the effects of the aspect ratio, the tend of CFD shows the qualitative agreement with the result of an experiment.展开更多

This model, that derives from the full non-hydrostatic model for geophysical fluid dynamics in the zero-limit of the aspect ratio, is more realistic than the classical hydrostatic model, since the traditional approximation that consists in neglecting a part of the Coriolis force is relaxed. After justifying the derivation of the model, the authors provide a rigorous proof of global existence of weak solutions, and well-posedness for strong solutions in dimension three.展开更多

文摘In the present study, the flow visualizations were performed around the NACA 0012 models which differ in aspect ratios. We discussed the effects of the aspect ratio in the test models. Additionally the unsteady, two-dimensional, compressible Euler equations were solved for the NACA 0012 airfoil. Experiments were performed utilizing the conventional gas driven shock tube as the intermittent transonic wind tunnel. The aspect ratios of the models are about 0.86 and 1.5, respectively. The Mach numbers M 2 are about 0.84. The Reynolds numbers of the present experimental conditions were constant that Re based on chord length is about 4.0×10 5 . The results are as follows: in different aspect ratios, the difference of the shock wave location is confirmed though the Mach number and Reynolds number are same. It indicates the different correction Mach number by the effects of the side wall boundary layer though the nominal Mach number measured the same value. Also, on the difference of shock wave location for the effects of the aspect ratio, the tend of CFD shows the qualitative agreement with the result of an experiment.

文摘Global existence of weak and strong solutions to the quasi-hydrostatic primitive equations is studied in this paper. This model, that derives from the full non-hydrostatic model for geophysical fluid dynamics in the zero-limit of the aspect ratio, is more realistic than the classical hydrostatic model, since the traditional approximation that consists in neglecting a part of the Coriolis force is relaxed. After justifying the derivation of the model, the authors provide a rigorous proof of global existence of weak solutions, and well-posedness for strong solutions in dimension three.

文摘A single-mask dry-release process for fabrication of high aspect ratio SOI MEMS devices is presented,which takes advantage of the lag effect in silicon DRIE(deep reactive ion etching).The wide trenches and the releasing holes are etched to the buried oxide in the first-step DRIE whereas the narrow trenches are still connected due to the lag effect.After the buried oxide is removed by wet etching through the opened releasing holes and wide trenches,the narrow trenches are etched through by the second-step DRIE.Not only can the sticking problems be avoided,but also the footing effect during the DRIE can be partially suppressed.The feasibility of the proposed technique was verified by implementing a capacitive accelerometer.The scale factor and the non-linearity of the fabricated accelerometer were measured to be 63.4 mV/g and 0.1% with the measurement range of ±1 g,respectively.
