Its effects on surface ground motion is illustrated by calculation. The test results indicate that the power function is a suitable form for describing the relationship between the ratio of the maximum dynamic shear modulus due to anisotropic and isotropic consolidations and the increment of the consolidation ratio. When compared to sand, the increment of the maximum dynamic shear modulus for undisturbed soil due to anisotropic consolidation is much larger. Using a one-dimensional equivalent linearization method, the earthquake influence factor and the characteristic period of the surface acceleration are calculated for two soil layers subjected to several typical earthquake waves. The calculated results show that the difference in nonlinear properties due to different consolidation ratios is generally not very notable, but the degree of its influence on the surface acceleration spectrum is remarkable for the occurrence of strong earthquakes. When compared to isotropic consolidation, the consideration of actual anisotropic consolidation causes the characteristic period to decrease and the earthquake influence factor to increase.展开更多

The introduction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is an effective way to make Al and its alloysstiffer. However, little research attention has been paid to Young's modulus of CNT/Al nanocomposites attributed to theuncertain measurement and unconvincing stiffening effect of CNTs. In this work, improved Young's modulus of 82.4 ± 0.4 GPa has been achieved in 1.5 wt% CNT/Al nanocomposite fabricated by flake powder metallurgy, which wasdetermined by resonance test and 13.5% higher than 72.6 ± 0.64 GPa of Al matrix. A comparative study and statisticalanalysis further revealed that Young's modulus determined by tensile test was relatively imprecise (83.1 ± 4.0 GPa) dueto the low-stress microplasficity or interface decohesion during tensile deformation of CNT/Al nanocomposite, while thevalue (98-100 GPa) was highly overestimated by nanoindentation due to the "pile-up" effect. This work shows an in-depthdiscussion on studying Young's modulus of CNT/Al nanocomposites.展开更多
