This paper presents a new type of metallic yielding damper referred to as the in-plane arch-shaped damper modified from its portal frame-shaped counterpart by replacing the straight beam with a circular arch to minimize the effects of stress concentration and warping, and therefore to avoid premature failure. Component tests of both the portal frame-shaped and arch-shaped in-plane dampers were conducted for comparison. Hysteresis loops obtained from the component tests under cyclic loads indicate substantial improvement on the energydissipative characteristics of the proposed damper. Moreover, seismic performance assessment of the proposed damper was carried out further via shaking table tests of a five-story model frame. Encouraging results have been achieved in terms of acceleration reduction, damping enhancement and peak suppression of the frequency response functions, suggesting the potential of the proposed device to be used in earthquake-resisting systems.展开更多

Based on the D＇alembert principle, a locomotion equation and the mathematical model of stationary response of SFD/MR system is put forward. It proves that the SFD/MR has better ability to resist unbalance loads than the traditional SFD after the stationary dynamic characteristics of the traditional SFD and the new SFD/MR are researched.展开更多

Results show that there exists different wettability on the different metal substrates, which is mainly determined by the interaction between the liquid and the substrate. The liquid metal is more likely to wet the same kind of metal substrate, which attracts the liquid metal to one side on the hybrid substrate. Exchanging the liquid metal and substrate metal has no effect on the wettability between these two metals. Moreover, the study of metal drop coalescing indicates that the metal substrate can significantly affect the coalescence behavior, in which the changeable wettability of liquid metal plays a predominant role. These studies demonstrate that the wetting behavior of liquid metal can be controlled by choosing the suitable metal substrate.展开更多

In order to improve their vibration absorption performance a new style of soft metal plated damper has been studied. A coat of soft metal is plated on inner surface of the oil film ring, the surface will be deformed to some extent under the effect of oil film pressure. The characteristics of such dampers are calculated and analysed. Result shows that, compared with common damper, the new style damper can change oil film pressure distribution, enhance oil film damping, decrease stiffness, and reduce the force transfered to casing.展开更多

Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques are used to characterize the baseline physical and chemical state of the interface. The physics of adhesion between the metal and polymer matrix composite components are then evaluated on the atomistic scale using molecular dynamics simulations. Interfacial mechanical properties are subsequently derived from these simulations using classical mechanics and thermodynamics. These molecular-level property predictions are used in a companion study to parameterize a continuum-level finite element model of the interface by means of a traction-separation constitutive law. Extension of the proposed approach to other dissimilar metal- or metal oxide-polymer interfaces is also discussed.展开更多
