(structural health monitoring), as in most cases, there may This study investigates the scattering of a zeroth-order anti-symmetric (A0) Lamb wave mode by an edge delamination using the commercial FE (finite element) package ABAQUS. The Ao Lamb mode is chosen because the corresponding stress distribution is more sensitive to delamination than is the case for symmetric modes. The paper presents results for the scatter field for various angles of incidence, and for varying defect sizes. The regime of small defect size relative to the incident wavelength is of particular interest for SHM as it corresponds to early damage detection. It is shown that, in this regime the scattered field appears to originate from a point source at the origin of the delamination, and the corresponding amplitude is linearly proportional to area of the delamination. These results can be used to guide the use of Lamb waves to detect and quantify edge delamination in plate-like structures.展开更多

Methods: Cortical allograft was transplanted to each side of the midshaft diaphyseal ulna of each one of 40 rabbits. The left transplanted allograft underwent normal physiological load, while the right one underwent lower load. After animals were killed,specimens were taken for examination of bone mineral density, bone porosity and maximal three-point-bend breaking load. Results: The union strength of allograft-host bone junction was increased constantly; meanwhile, the internal creeping substitution led to an initial greater weakening of the cortical allograft itself and a later recovery of its strength. In comparison, the union strength of the normally loaded graft-host bone construct was significantly higher than that of the lower loaded side at the 8th and 16th week after transplantation. At the 16th week, there was greater bone strength in normally loaded graft than that in lower loaded graft. Conclusions: The internal repair can lead to initial greater weakening of cortical allograft and later gradual recovery of its strength. The effect of physiological load can accelerate the improvement of the biomechanical properties of allograft.展开更多

Hydrocarbons (CH4, C2H6 and C3H8) were produced from reaction between dissolved CO2 in the starting fluids and HE formed during serpentinization, which were analyzed by Gas Chromatography. It was found that olivine serpentinization produced much less H2 and CH4 compared with those after peridotite alteration, while their C2H6 and C3H8 were identical. For example, for olivine with initial grain sizes of 〈30 μm, the amounts of HE and CH4 were 79.6 mmol/kg and 460 μmol/kg after 27 days, respectively. By contrast, the quantities of H2 and CH4 produced in experiment on peridotite with the same run duration were much larger, 119 mmol/kg and 1300 μmol/kg, respectively. This indicates that spinel and pyroxene in peridotite may increase the amounts of HE and hydrocarbons, possibly due to the catalytic effect of aluminum released by spinel and pyroxene during serpentinization. Moreover, the production of H2 and hydrocarbons is negatively correlated with initial grain sizes of the starting material, with smaller amounts of HE and hydrocarbons for larger initial grain sizes, indicating that the kinetics of serpentinization influences the formation of HE and hydrocarbons, possibly because of the lack of catalytic minerals for the starting material with larger grain sizes. This study suggests that olivine cannot completely represent peridotite during serpentinization, and that H2 and hydrocarbons in hydrothermal fields near the mid-ocean ridge may be produced in a very long period of serpentinization or the presence of catalytic minerals due to large grain sizes of ultramafic rocks.展开更多
