A 16 years old patient with familiar history of MHE came to our observation complaining a left-sided chest pain. This pain had increased in the last months with no correlation to a traumatic event. The computed tomography(CT) scan revealed the presence of three exostoses located on the left third, fourth and sixth ribs, all protruding into the thoracic cavity, directly in contact with visceral pleura. Moreover, the apex of the one located on the sixth rib revealed to be only 12 mm away from pericardium. Patient underwent video-assisted thoracoscopy with an additional 4-cm mini toracotomy approach. At the last 1-year followup, patient was very satisfied and no signs of recurrence or major complication had occured. In conclusion, chest pain could be the only symptom of an intra-thoracic exostoses localization, possibly leading to serious complications. Thoracic localization in MHE must be suspected when patients complain chest pain. A chest CT scan is indicated to confirm exostoses and to clarify relationship with surrounding structures. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery can be considered a valuable option for exostoses removal, alone or in addiction to a mini-thoracotomy approach, in order to reduce thoracotomy morbidity.展开更多

Fluent 6.3 CFD code has been used. The governing equations are discretized by the second order upwind differencing scheme, decoupling with the SIMPLE (semi-implicit method for pressure linked equations) algorithm and are solved using a finite volume approach. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are presented for the Reynolds numbers based on the channel hydraulic diameter ranging from 104 to 4 ′ 104. The effects of rib shape and orientation on heat transfer and pressure drop in the channel are investigated for six different rib configurations. Rib arrays of 45° inclined and 45° V-shaped are mounted in inline and staggered arrangements on the lower and upper walls of the channel. In addition, the performance of these ribs is also compared with the 90° transverse ribs.展开更多

Sintering of the ribs revealed that the ribs with asymmetric geometry such as meander and SDR type became distorted severely by the sintering process, but the ribs with symmetric geometry such as honeycomb and waffle type maintained their green state morphology. After sintering, the ribs were coated with green phosphor using osmosis coating process and its luminance characteristics were evaluated. The results indicated that the luminance and its efficiency is improved by using closed-cell type ribs with the new phosphor forming technology.展开更多

The results show that the ribs installed on the roof have a great effect on the train aerodynamic performance. Compared with trains without ribs, the lift force coefficient of the train with convex ribs changes from negative to positive, while the side force coefficient increases by 110%and 88%, respectively. Due to the combined effect of the lift force and side force, the overturning moment of the train with convex ribs and cutting ribs increases by 140% and 106%, respectively. There is larger negative pressure on the roof of the train without ribs than that with ribs. The ribs on the train would disturb the flow structure and contribute to the air separation, so the separation starts from the roof, while there is no air separation on the roof of the train without ribs. The ribs can also slow down the flow speed above the roof and make the air easily sucked back to the train surface. The vortices at the leeward side of the train without ribs are small and messy compared with those of the train with convex or cutting ribs.展开更多

The results show that the location and the gap width between the ribs have a great influence on the axial and radial temperature rise of multilayer biological tissue. With a decreasing gap width, the location of the maximum temperature rise moves forward; as the ribs are closer to the transducer surface, the sound energy that passes through the gap between the ribs at the focus decreases, the maximum temperature rise decreases, and the location of the maximum temperature rise moves forward with the ribs.展开更多

Radially Loading Rotary Extrusion(RLRE) forming technology can achieve integral forming of LCCWITHR through the synergy of radial and rotary movements of dies. The flow law of the material during the forming process is the key to forming large-size inner ribs. At present, there is no unified understanding of the metal flow law of RLRE forming technology. An analytical expression was derived to predict the Radial Direction(RD) deformation loads. The FE simulation and process experiment were carried out to investigate the effects of the inclination angle, thickness factor and transition arc radius of the split top dies on the spacing of the metal diversion plane, the metal flow velocity of the rib area and the final radius of the inner rib. The influence of the split top dies loading distance and the bottom die rotation angle of each pass on the inner radius of the inner rib was verified. And the optimal combination of dies shape parameters and loading paths which can make the metal flow orderly was obtained: the inclination angle is 140°, the thickness factor is 3.64, the transition arc radius is 16 mm;the top dies loading distance is 15 mm, the bottom die rotation angle is 45°.The FE simulation results have been found to be in close agreement with physics experiment.The research results reveal the metal flow law of rib growth in the RLRE of LCCWITHR, which lays a theoretical foundation for subsequent thorough research and process optimization.展开更多

The OSD can act as framework for concrete plate and contribute to load bearing capacity at the same time, which could save construction time. Compared with conventional OSD system, this new type of composite bridge deck can also improve fatigue performance.?Considering that this type of composite deck is not yet applied in practical engineering and its mechanical performance is not revealed in previous literatures, two full-scale specimens were designed and manufactured in this research. The mechanical performance, particularly, bending capacity in positive and negative region was carefully tested and analyzed. The load-deflection curve, load-slip relation, strain distribution in concrete and steel were obtained. The test results showed that the plastic performance of this kind of composite bridge deck was satisfying and the bending capacity was high.展开更多

In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the turbine blades, cooling structures must be set inside turbine blades to cool them. Heat transfer coefficient and flow resistance are the key parameters to measure the cooling characteristics of internal cooling structures. In this paper, the characteristics of flow resistance in a rotating ribbed channel is presented numerical simulation under different rib spacings, rib angles, and thermal boundary conditions. The results show that, separation and reattachment of fluid between ribs is the key effect of rib spacing on flow resistance. The flow resistance is small when the rib spacing is small, because it's difficult for the fluid to form reattachment between the ribs. With the increase of rib spacing, the reattachment phenomenon is more obvious and the flow resistance increases accordingly. In general,p: e=10 channel has the maximum flow resistance. Secondary flow caused by the ribs is the key factor affecting the flow resistance characteristics with different rib angles. The secondary flow interacts with the main flow and causes flow loss through mixing, thus affecting the flow resistance of the channel. Under static condition, the flow resistance of 60°ribbed channel is the largest. The flow resistance of channel was affected by the temperature rise ratio also. And with the increase of the Ro, the temperature rise ratio has a more obvious effect on the flow resistance of the ribbed channel.When Ro=0.45, the flow resistance of the channel with a temperature rise ratio of 0.4 is 2.4 times that of the channel without temperature rise, while when Ro=0.3, it is 1.6 times, and when Ro=0.15, it is 1.2 times.展开更多

Both the geometry with one rib and the geometry with two ribs, placed perpendicular to the flow, are studied, with particular emphasis on the effect of the variation of the distance between the ribs on the structure of the flow. Results show that, for Reynolds number flows of 400 and 1000 (based on the uniform incoming velocity and the height of the ribs), the flow reattaches between the ribs when they are separated by distances of 12h (h being the height of the ribs) and 6h, respectively. In this respect, however, the numerical results for the Reynolds number flow of 1000 are in contradiction with published results.展开更多

文摘Cylindrical rings with thin wall and high web ribs(CRTWHWR)are widely used as the key load bearing structures such as rocket body and space station cabin in aerospace field.However,it is still difficult to efficiently manufacture CRTWHWR with high performance because of their extreme geometry with thin-walled skins,high web ribs and large size.In this paper,a novel radial envelope forming process is put forward to efficiently achieve the plastic forming of CRTWHWR with high performance.Firstly,the principle of radial envelope forming process is clarified.Then,an efficient design method for the tool motion and geometry is proposed based on the reverse envelope principle,i.e.,CRTWHWR is adopted to reversely envelope the tool and thus the tool which does not interfere with CRTWHWR can be efficiently obtained in a single operation.Finally,a reasonable 3D FE model of the radial envelope forming process of CRTWHWR is established and the radial envelope forming mechanism of CRTWHWR is comprehensively revealed.Through the FE simulation and experiments with material of plastic mud,a typical CRTWHWR with diameter of 300 mm,axial height of 192 mm,the maximum rib height of 25 mm,the minimum rib thickness of 3 mm and skin thickness of 5 mm is radial envelope formed,i.e.,the ratio of the maximum rib height to the minimum rib thickness reaches 8.33,the ratio of the maximum rib height to skin thickness reaches 5 and the ratio of diameter to the minimum rib thickness reaches 100.The above results verify that the proposed radial envelope forming process has great potentials in efficiently manufacturing CRTWHWR with extreme geometry.

文摘The Large-size Conical Cylinders with Inner Transverse High Ribs(LCCWITHR) can reduce the weight of the parts while maintaining high rigidity and strength. Radially Loading Rotary Extrusion(RLRE) forming technology can achieve integral forming of LCCWITHR through the synergy of radial and rotary movements of dies. The flow law of the material during the forming process is the key to forming large-size inner ribs. At present, there is no unified understanding of the metal flow law of RLRE forming technology. An analytical expression was derived to predict the Radial Direction(RD) deformation loads. The FE simulation and process experiment were carried out to investigate the effects of the inclination angle, thickness factor and transition arc radius of the split top dies on the spacing of the metal diversion plane, the metal flow velocity of the rib area and the final radius of the inner rib. The influence of the split top dies loading distance and the bottom die rotation angle of each pass on the inner radius of the inner rib was verified. And the optimal combination of dies shape parameters and loading paths which can make the metal flow orderly was obtained: the inclination angle is 140°, the thickness factor is 3.64, the transition arc radius is 16 mm;the top dies loading distance is 15 mm, the bottom die rotation angle is 45°.The FE simulation results have been found to be in close agreement with physics experiment.The research results reveal the metal flow law of rib growth in the RLRE of LCCWITHR, which lays a theoretical foundation for subsequent thorough research and process optimization.

文摘Conical rings with thin sterna and high ribs(CRTSHR)are key bearing-load parts of aerospace equipment,which are required to be manufactured with high performance and efficiency.Traditional ring rolling is the most preferred method for manufacturing high-performance ring parts,but it can hardly achieve the forming of CRTSHR due to the extreme geometry of CRTSHR.To solve this difficulty,an innovative constraining ring rolling process(CRR)is proposed in this paper to manufacture CRTSHR.To evaluate the proposed CRR and reveal its deformation behaviors,a thermomechanical coupled FE model for CRR of CRTSHR is established.Then,the experiment for CRR of CRTSHR is performed on a modified ring rolling machine,which proves that CRR of CRTSHR is feasible and the established FE model is reliable.Based on the reliable FE model,the metal flow mode in deformed CRTSHR is analyzed,and the deformation characteristics such as the stress state,strain distribution and the evolution of power parameters in CRR of CRTSHR are revealed.Finally,the influences of key parameters such as the friction factor between ring and molds,the diameter of idle roll and the feed velocity of idle roll on CRR of CRTSHR are investigated by FE simulation.

文摘This paper proposes a new type of steel-concrete composite deck, which is composed of orthotropic steel deck (OSD) with T-shaped ribs, concrete plate and studs connecting OSD and concrete plate. The OSD can act as framework for concrete plate and contribute to load bearing capacity at the same time, which could save construction time. Compared with conventional OSD system, this new type of composite bridge deck can also improve fatigue performance.?Considering that this type of composite deck is not yet applied in practical engineering and its mechanical performance is not revealed in previous literatures, two full-scale specimens were designed and manufactured in this research. The mechanical performance, particularly, bending capacity in positive and negative region was carefully tested and analyzed. The load-deflection curve, load-slip relation, strain distribution in concrete and steel were obtained. The test results showed that the plastic performance of this kind of composite bridge deck was satisfying and the bending capacity was high.

文摘In order to improve rib stability,failure criteria and instability mode of a thick coal seam with inter-band rock layer are analysed in this study.A three-dimensional mechanical model is established for the rib by considering the rock layer.A safety factor is defined foy the rib,and it is observed that the safety factor exhibits a positive correlation with the thickness and strength of the inter-band rock.A calculation method for determining critical parameters of the rock layer is presented to ensure the rib stability.It is revealed that incomplete propagation of the fracture at the hard rock constitutes a fundamental prerequisite for ensuring the rib stability.The influence of the position of the inter-band rock in the coal seam on failure mechanism of the rib was thoroughly investigated by developing a series of physical models for the rib at the face area.The best position for the inter-band rock in the coal seam is at a height of 1.5 m away from the roof line,which tends to provide a good stability state for the rib.For different inter-band rock positions,two ways of controlling rib by increasing supports stiffness and flexible grouting reinforcement are proposed.

文摘With the development of aero-engines, the turbine inlet temperature continues to rise. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the turbine blades, cooling structures must be set inside turbine blades to cool them. Heat transfer coefficient and flow resistance are the key parameters to measure the cooling characteristics of internal cooling structures. In this paper, the characteristics of flow resistance in a rotating ribbed channel is presented numerical simulation under different rib spacings, rib angles, and thermal boundary conditions. The results show that, separation and reattachment of fluid between ribs is the key effect of rib spacing on flow resistance. The flow resistance is small when the rib spacing is small, because it's difficult for the fluid to form reattachment between the ribs. With the increase of rib spacing, the reattachment phenomenon is more obvious and the flow resistance increases accordingly. In general,p: e=10 channel has the maximum flow resistance. Secondary flow caused by the ribs is the key factor affecting the flow resistance characteristics with different rib angles. The secondary flow interacts with the main flow and causes flow loss through mixing, thus affecting the flow resistance of the channel. Under static condition, the flow resistance of 60°ribbed channel is the largest. The flow resistance of channel was affected by the temperature rise ratio also. And with the increase of the Ro, the temperature rise ratio has a more obvious effect on the flow resistance of the ribbed channel.When Ro=0.45, the flow resistance of the channel with a temperature rise ratio of 0.4 is 2.4 times that of the channel without temperature rise, while when Ro=0.3, it is 1.6 times, and when Ro=0.15, it is 1.2 times.
文摘The flow inside a channel with surface mounted ribs is studied by numerical simulation and experimental flow visualization. Both the geometry with one rib and the geometry with two ribs, placed perpendicular to the flow, are studied, with particular emphasis on the effect of the variation of the distance between the ribs on the structure of the flow. Results show that, for Reynolds number flows of 400 and 1000 (based on the uniform incoming velocity and the height of the ribs), the flow reattaches between the ribs when they are separated by distances of 12h (h being the height of the ribs) and 6h, respectively. In this respect, however, the numerical results for the Reynolds number flow of 1000 are in contradiction with published results.
