Prediction of the dynamic effective properties of particle-reinforced composite materials

The prediction behaviors of some coherent plane wave equations for the effective velocities and attenuations of the coherent plane waves propagating through a composite material and for the effective elastic moduli of the composites are studied. The numerical results obtained by Waterman & Truell's, Twersky's and Gubernatis's equations for Glass-Epoxy composites with various volume fractions are compared. It is found that the predictions by both Twersky's and Gubernatis's equations underestimate the effective velocities and the effective elastic moduli when compare with the predictions by Waterman & Truell's equation. Furthermore, the deviations are more evident for the shear wave than that for the longitudinal wave. But these deviations decrease gradually with the increase of the frequency and increase gradually with the increase of the volume fraction.

Static-to-kinematic modeling and experimental validation of tendon-driven quasi continuum manipulators with nonconstant subsegment stiffness

Continuum robots with high flexibility and compliance have the capability to operate in confined and cluttered environments. To enhance the load capacity while maintaining robot dexterity, we propose a novel non-constant subsegment stiffness structure for tendon-driven quasi continuum robots(TDQCRs) comprising rigid-flexible coupling subsegments.Aiming at real-time control applications, we present a novel static-to-kinematic modeling approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of the TDQCR model. The analytical subsegment-based kinematics for the multisection manipulator is derived based on screw theory and product of exponentials formula, and the static model considering gravity loading,actuation loading, and robot constitutive laws is established. Additionally, the effect of tension attenuation caused by routing channel friction is considered in the robot statics, resulting in improved model accuracy. The root-mean-square error between the outputs of the static model and the experimental system is less than 1.63% of the arm length(0.5 m). By employing the proposed static model, a mapping of bending angles between the configuration space and the subsegment space is established. Furthermore, motion control experiments are conducted on our TDQCR system, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the static-to-kinematic model.

Viscoacoustic generalized screen propagator in constant-Q model

When seismic waves propagate through the geological formation,there is a significant loss of energy and a decrease in imaging resolution,because of the viscoacoustic properties of subsurface medium.This profoundly impacts seismic wavefield propagation,imaging and interpretation.To accurately image the true structure of subsurface medium,the consensus among geophysicists is to no longer treat subsurface medium as ideal homogeneous medium,but rather to incorporate the viscoacoustic properties of subsurface medium.Based on the generalized screen propagator using conventional acoustic wave equation(acoustic GSP),our developed method introduces viscoacoustic compensation strategy,and derives a one-way wave generalized screen propagator based on time-fractional viscoacoustic wave equation(viscoacoustic GSP).In numerical experiments,we conducted tests on two-dimensional multi-layer model and the Marmousi model.When comparing with the acoustic GSP using the acoustic data,we found that the imaging results of the viscoacoustic GSP using the viscoacoustic data showed a significant attenuation compensation effect,and achieved imaging results for both algorithms were essentially consistent.However,the imaging results of acoustic GSP using viscoacoustic data showed significant attenuation effects,especially for deep subsurface imaging.This indicates that we have proposed an effective method to compensate the attenuated seismic wavefield.Our application on a set of real seismic data demonstrated that the imaging performance of our proposed method in local areas surpassed that of the conventional acoustic GSP.This suggests that our proposed method holds practical value and can more accurately image real subsurface structures while enhancing imaging resolution compared with the conventional acoustic GSP.Finally,with respect to computational efficiency,we gathered statistics on running time to compare our proposed method with conventional Q-RTM,and it is evident that our method exhibits higher computational efficiency.In summary,our proposed viscoacoustic GSP method takes into account the true properties of the medium,still achieves migration results comparable to conventional acoustic GSP.

Single event transient pulse attenuation effect in three-transistor inverter chain

In this paper, compared with two-transistor (2T) inverter chain, the production and propagation of P-hit single event transient (SET) in three-transistor (3T) inverter chain is studied in depth based on three-dimensional numerical simulations in a 90 nm bulk complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The pulse attenuation effect is found in 3T inverter chain, and the pulse can not completely propagate through the inverter chain as LET increases. The discovery will provide a new insight into SET hardened design, the 3T inverter layout structure (or similar layout structures) will be a better method in integrated circuits (ICs) design in radiation environment.

CONTINUITY AND BREAK OF CHATTER VIBRATION STATUS

By turning a specifically designed conical part, complete process of metal cutting, in which the chatter occurs and expands, is recorded and analyzed. This process exposes that chatter vibration has two characters called continuity and break. The continuity character means that vibration extent enlarges continuously while chatter frequency is almost changeless as the cutting depth extends downwards continuously. The break one is that chatter frequency moves rapidly downwards to a lower level while chatter remains after the cutting depth reach another given value. It is confirmed through an exciting test that the two chatter frequencies obtained in chatter test belong to the natural frequencies of workpiece system and cutting tool system respectively. From the viewpoints of chatter energy supplying and chatter mass effect, the. chatter should occur on one of the two final executive components in its natural frequency. On this basis, a new chatter model with two chatter active bodies is proposed. This new model can better explain the above phenomenon, and adapt to chatter monitoring and improvement of component structure well.

Effective dielectric attenuation for excellent microwave absorption with broadband response of carbon hollow microspheres derived from resin

Carbon hollow microspheres as microwave absorption materials(MAMs)are of great significance in the research focuses owing to their lightweight,good impedance matching,and modifiable dielectric proper-ties.However,it is still a huge challenge to distinguish the contribution of dielectric attenuation between carbon intrinsic feature and hollow structure due to the lack of appropriate model materials.Then,the inadequate analysis of effective dielectric attenuation resulted in the construction of carbon hollow mi-crospheres semiempirical and often lacked precise modification of microstructure.Herein,a series of car-bon hollow microspheres with controllable graphitization and thickness of shell derived from phenolic resin coated on polystyrene microspheres that fully decomposed were synthesized,which is free of the impact of template residue.The carbon fragments ground from hollow microspheres exhibit the same broadband response as hollow microspheres,with effective bandwidth(RL<-10 dB)of 7.6 GHz,while their electromagnetic wave loss mechanisms are distinct.The high dielectric loss of carbon fragments with the same intrinsic characteristics as carbon hollow microspheres is mainly caused by dipole po-larization relaxation and enhancement of electrical conductivity ascribed to overlapping between carbon sheets.For the hollow structure,in addition to dipole polarization relaxation attributed to carbon intrin-sic feature,the effective dielectric loss is also comprised of the interfacial polarization in advantage due to the effective heterogeneous interface between air and carbon shell.This work provides a simplified model to clarify the effect of carbon intrinsic feature and microstructure on the dielectric loss of carbon hollow microspheres.
