Quantitative description of infrared radiation characteristics of preflawed sandstone during fracturing process

Previous studies show that infrared radiation temperature(IRT)abnormalities are always accompanied by the crack development in rocks under external loads.In this context,experiments were conducted on preflawed sandstone to investigate the infrared radiation characteristics during failure process.Two indicators were defined herein,i.e.coefficient of variation of IRT(CVIRT)and skewness of IRT(SIRT).The regression analysis shows that the IRT probability distributions during loading process fit the Gaussian model.The variations in the CVIRT are characterized by four stages:primary stage,steady stage,accelerating stage and post-peak stage.Besides,the variations in the SIRT are divided into three stages:primary stage,steady stage and failure and post-peak stage.The precursor point for preflawed rock failure is identified based on the CVIRTetime curve,with average precursor point of 83%of the peak stress.Compared with other IRT indicators,the proposed two IRT indicators have higher sensitivity to IRT abnormalities during failure process.Furthermore,the connection between the IRT indicators and the rock fracturing was investigated to interpret the IRT indicator abnormalities.Based on the Verhulst inverse function,a new quantitative model was presented to describe the primary stage,steady stage and accelerating stage of the CVIRTetime curve.The results obtained in this study can provide early-warning information for rock failure prediction.

Radiation Characteristics of a Novel µNegative Metamaterial Spiral Resonator Antenna at the 2.4 GHz

A μ negative metamaterial using spiral resonator (SR) with an electromagnetically coupled (EMC) feeding system is proposed as a novel antenna structure. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on a FR4 dielectric substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm and relative permittivity of 4.0 to achieve its radiation characteristic. The antenna is operated at frequency 2.4 GHz. To improve the antenna gain, a matching circuit is inserted into the feed line. The &micro;negative metamaterial is achieved by using a spiral resonator with spiral numbers N = 3, 5, 7, and 10. It is found that the negative imaginary part tends to shift leftward as the value of N increases. The simulation result of the proposed antenna structure with spiral number N = 3, strip width w = 3.1 mm, and gap width s = 0.5 mm provides the best performance with S11 = -15 dB, VSWR < 2 bandwidth of 30 MHz and gain of –0.5 dB at frequency of 2.43 GHz. The proposed antenna with matching circuit provides the antenna gain of 2.21 dB, which is better than that without the matching circuit. The dimensions of the proposed antenna are reduced by 53% compared with those of the conventional patch. Both the simulation and measurement results of the radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna show good agreement.

Radiation Characteristics of the Reflector Antenna with Random Perforated Holes

The radiation characteristics of a doubly curved shaped reflector antenna with random holes is analyzed by physical optics (PO) method, and the probability model of the random holes and its numerical realization method are presented. The radiation patterns show that in the azimuth plane the peak sidelobe level becomes much higher as the reflector surface with random holes. The simulation results can provide a theoretical guidance for the radar attackers.

Failure mechanism and infrared radiation characteristic of hard siltstone induced by stratification effect

The deformation in sedimentary rock induced by train loads has potential threat to the safe operation of tunnels. This study investigated the influence of stratification structure on the infrared radiation and temporal damage mechanism of hard siltstone. The uniaxial compression tests, coupled with acoustic emission(AE) and infrared radiation temperature(IRT) were conducted on siltstones with different stratification effects. The results revealed that the stratigraphic structure significantly affects the stress-strain response and strength degradation characteristics. The mechanical parameters exhibit anisotropy characteristics, and the stratification effect exhibits a negative correlation with the cracking stress and peak stress. The failure modes caused by the stratification effect show remarkable anisotropic features, including splitting failure(Ⅰ: 0°-22.50°, Ⅱ: 90°), composite failure(45°), and shearing failure(67.50°). The AE temporal sequences demonstrate a stepwise response characteristic to the loading stress level. The AE intensity indicates that the stress sensitivity of shearing failure and composite failure is generally greater than that of splitting failure. The IRT field has spatiotemporal migration and progressive dissimilation with stress loading and its dissimilation degree increases under higher stress levels. The stronger the stratification effect, the greater the dissimilation degree of the IRT field. The abnormal characteristic points of average infrared radiation temperature(AIRT) variance at local stress drop and peak stress can be used as early and late precursors to identify fracture instability. Theoretical analysis shows that the competitive relationship between compaction strengthening and fracturing damage intensifies the dissimilation of the infrared thermal field for an increasing stress level. The present study provides a theoretical reference for disaster warnings in hard sedimentary rock mass.

Deterioration Characteristics of Cement-Fly Ash Paste under Strong Ultraviolet Radiation and Low Temperature Conditions

The pastes containing different dosages of fly ash were taken into ultraviolet radiation and low temperature freeze condition simultaneously（URL）for 30 days and only ultraviolet radiation condition（UR）for 30 days after standard curing,so as to investigate the influences of the conditions on the deterioration characteristics of the pastes.Microscopic test methods,such as XRD,TG-DTA and SEM,were used to study the UR effect on the deterioration process of hardened paste.The results show that the deterioration tests,such as URL and UR,inhibit the common development of paste strength,especially after the standard curing age of 360days.With the increase of fly ash dosage,from 0 to 50%,the reference value decreases,especially at early age.While at the later age,i e,180 and 360 days,the paste strength cured for 30 days under URL and UR conditions all increase to different extent and the strength is slightly affected very low,especially for the paste containing25%fly ash.From XRD results,URL and UR dispositions do not influence the hydration product kinds but the amount,especially Ca（OH）2 and CaCO3.Deterioration experiments can decrease the diffraction peak of Ca（OH）2 sharply,and increase that of CaCO3 rapidly,especially under only ultraviolet radiation.From TG-DTA and SEM results,with the increase of curing age,the content of Ca（OH）2 decreases and that of CaCO3 increases.The Ca（OH）2 content of paste under continuous UR curing for 30 days is less than that under URL curing for 30days,which indicates that UR has more negative effects on the pastes than URL.

Observational results of electromagnetic radiation caused by explosion of small dimension rocks in field experiments

In order to probe the mechanism of the phenomena of seismic electromagnetic radiation (EMR), we have completed field experiment on EMR caused by explosiom of rocks. In the experiments, the data of medium low freguency (<5000 Hz) EMR caused by 26 explosion tests of small dimension rocks have been obtained. This paper shows some representative observational results of the field experiment. The observational results show that, nearly 20 points of the 26 explosive points, the EMR phenomena are recorded at various degrees in the related explosive processes. The EMR intensities decay with the distance from explosive origins and increase with the explosive energy. The EMR records have certain repeatability (under the same condition), complexity( multiple EMR effects caused by one explosion) and regional characteristics such as rock structure and observational direction etc.

Local characteristics and acoustical energy of radiation on vibrating surface: Ⅰ. Theory

From a point of view of the auto-spectrum, the local characteristics and the acous-tical energy of radiating on a vibrating surface are theoretically studied in this paper. The point radiation impedance at any point on a vibrating surface is defined a-s the ratio of the sound pressure to the vibrating velocity, which establishes the relation between the vibration of the surface and the sound field. Applying the Cauchy iategral theorem, the chromatic disper-sion relation between the real and imaginary components of the point radiation impedance is given, and some characteristics are discussed. The discussion about two typical sound sotirces,pulsating and oscillating spheres, supports the arguments of this paper.

Local characteristics and acoustical energy of radiation on vibrating surface: Ⅱ. application

Applying the theory put forward in Ref. [3], the radiation mechanism of sound energy on a vibrating steel plate was studied. Between the point radiation resistance efficiency and the point radiation reactance efficiency exists the chromatic dispersion relation that is one to one. The chromatic dispersion relation fits not only smooth curves, but also the dispersed curves with sharp-pointed peaks. While the vibrating surface radiates the sound energy into field, it absorbs some energy from the field.

An Inverse Method for Equivalent Gray Gas Radiation Characteristic Parameter

Compared with non-gray model,equivalent gray model has equal calculation accuracy but much higher computing speed.To solve the existing problems of the equivalent gray method,sole ternary model was developed.In the model,coupling solving process of energy balance equations is omitted and the model zone is real closed.Meanwhile,the full furnace temperature and heat flow calculations are avoided,which makes it easier to find the relationship between the equivalent gray gas radiation characteristic parameter and the initial conditions.The radiation characteristic parameter was calculated with different temperature combinations,different model zone sizes and different partial pressures of absorbent gas.The results show the similar variations in the absorption coefficient and emissivity for the equivalent gray model,which both decrease with the increase of the gas temperature and the surface temperature（especially the former one）as well as the model zone size while increase with the increase of the partial pressure of absorbent gas.
