In theory, the displacements and the membrane forces of a plate with large deflection are all the functions of the second-order differentials of the Ariy stress function. With these characteristics considered, the Ariy stress function of a floating free-free plate is calculated by setting the virtual values of three of the corner points. The finite difference method is chosen to solve the problem. When the Ariy stress function of the plate is obtained, the membrane forces can easily be calculated. Comparisons between the forces induced by the membrane forces and by the fluid are considered. It is shown that the membrane forces can not be neglected in many cases.展开更多

Results showed that the membrane-BSA adhesion interaction was stronger than the BSA-BSA adhesion interaction, and the adhesion force between BSA-BSA-fouled PVDF/PVA membranes was similar to that between BSA-BSA-fouled PVDF/PVP membranes, which indicated that the fouling was mainly caused by the adhesion interaction between membrane and BSA. At the same pH condition, the PVDF/PVA membrane-BSA adhesion force was smaller than that of PVDF/ PVP membrane-BSA, which illustrated that the more hydrophilic the membrane was, the better antifouling ability it had. The extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey Overbeek (XDLVO) theory predicts that the polar or Lewis acid-base (AB) interaction played a dominant role in the interracial free energy ofmcmbrane-BSA and BSA BSA that can be affected by pH. For the same membrane, the pH values of a BSA solution can have a significant impact on the process of membrane fouling by changing the AB component of free energy.展开更多
