新颖的相互作用效应增强了泡沫填充 CFRP 锥形管的比能量吸收能力
This study unveils a novel interaction effect in the foam-filled CFRP tapered tubes that enhances their specific energy absorption (SEA), challenging the conventional understanding that foam fillers decrease the SEA of structures like foam-filled CFRP straight tubes and foam-filled metal tapered tubes. Quasi-static axial compression tests were conducted on foam-filled CFRP tubes with varying taper angles (0°, 5°, 10°, 15°) to confirm and quantify this newfound interaction effect. The energy absorption characteristics and interaction effect due to the foam filler in the foam-filled CFRP tapered tubes were thoroughly evaluated and compared to 3D-printed 316L stainless steel tubes and unfilled CFRP counterparts. Contrary to expectations, our results indicate that the foam-filled CFRP tubes consistently outperform both steel and unfilled CFRP tubes in energy absorption. Intriguingly, the CFRP foam-filled tapered tubes in this study demonstrated higher SEA compared to CFRP tubes without foam filler, underscoring the remarkable effectiveness of CFRP materials in foam-filled tapered tube applications. Our comprehensive interaction effect analysis highlights the substantial contribution of the unique synergy between the foam filler and the debris of the CFRP tapered tube to this increased SEA. Additionally, we propose a novel hybrid design that integrates straight and tapered CFRP tubes with foam fillers, leveraging the newfound interaction effect to further enhance the energy absorption of tapered tubes. This research not only emphasizes the advantages of foam fillers in enhancing CFRP tapered structures but also introduces innovative possibilities for energy absorption applications across various industries.
本研究揭示了泡沫填充 CFRP 锥形管中的新型相互作用效应,这种效应可增强其比能量吸收(SEA),从而挑战了泡沫填充物会降低泡沫填充 CFRP 直管和泡沫填充金属锥形管等结构的 SEA 的传统认识。我们对不同锥角(0°、5°、10°、15°)的泡沫填充 CFRP 管进行了准静态轴向压缩试验,以确认和量化这种新发现的相互作用效应。对泡沫填充的 CFRP 锥形管的能量吸收特性和泡沫填充物的相互作用效应进行了全面评估,并与 3D 打印的 316L 不锈钢管和未填充的 CFRP 管进行了比较。与预期相反,我们的结果表明,填充泡沫的 CFRP 管在能量吸收方面始终优于钢管和未填充的 CFRP 管。耐人寻味的是,与未填充泡沫的 CFRP 管相比,本研究中填充泡沫的 CFRP 锥形管具有更高的 SEA 值,这表明 CFRP 材料在填充泡沫的锥形管应用中效果显著。我们进行了全面的相互作用效应分析,结果表明,泡沫填充物与 CFRP 锥形管碎片之间的独特协同作用对 SEA 的提高做出了重大贡献。此外,我们还提出了一种新型混合设计,将带有泡沫填料的直管和锥形 CFRP 管整合在一起,利用新发现的相互作用效应进一步提高锥形管的能量吸收能力。这项研究不仅强调了泡沫填料在增强 CFRP 锥形结构方面的优势,还为各行各业的能量吸收应用带来了创新的可能性。

块状 TiB2 基复合材料的进展:致密化和增韧
TiB2 based materials have attracted extensive attention due to its considerable hardness and elastic modulus, excellent wear/ corrosion resistance as well as exceptional electrical/ thermal conductivity. The potential structural and functional applications of TiB2 based materials include reentry vehicles, cutting tools, thermal insulation boards, new energy batteries, ballistic protection high temperature nuclear reactors. However, the poor densification together with inferior fracture toughness dramatically limited the practical application of TiB2. Herein, we critically survey, summarize, and discuss the recent advances on preparation and mechanical properties of TiB2-based materials, focusing on the current understanding of densification and toughening strategies and mechanisms. Borrowing the concept of cemented carbide, cemented TiB2 is proposed in this review, highlighting the different binder phase on improving the densification of TiB2, including metal, intermetallic, ceramic and high entropy alloy. Subsequently, through discussing the factors influencing the efficiency of toughening TiB2, we determine and compare various toughening approaches on TiB2. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects of high performance TiB2 for future scientific researches and practical possibilities are also briefly summarized. We believe a thorough summary of the densification and toughening mechanisms will significantly contribute to the development of dense, strong and tough TiB2 materials in a much more efficient way, advancing them for further wide applications.
由于 TiB2 具有相当高的硬度和弹性模量、出色的耐磨性/耐腐蚀性以及优异的导电性/导热性,它已引起了广泛的关注。基于 TiB2 的材料在结构和功能方面的潜在应用包括重返大气层飞行器、切削工具、隔热板、新能源电池、防弹高温核反应堆。然而,较差的致密性和较差的断裂韧性极大地限制了 TiB2 的实际应用。在此,我们对基于 TiB2 的材料的制备和机械性能的最新进展进行了批判性的调查、总结和讨论,重点是目前对致密化和增韧策略及机制的理解。借用硬质合金的概念,本综述提出了硬质合金 TiB2,强调了不同粘结相对改善 TiB2 变质的作用,包括金属、金属间、陶瓷和高熵合金。随后,通过讨论影响 TiB2 增韧效率的因素,我们确定并比较了 TiB2 的各种增韧方法。此外,我们还简要总结了高性能 TiB2 在未来科学研究和实用可能性方面所面临的挑战和前景。我们相信,对致密化和增韧机理的全面总结将极大地促进以更高效的方式开发致密、高强度和高韧性的 TiB2 材料,推动其进一步广泛应用。

用于高倍率和长循环氯化钠镍电池的金属基正极的合理结构设计
High-temperature sodium-nickel chloride (Na-NiCl2) batteries represented as an advanced energy storage technology show impressive advantages including abundant raw materials, high safety and long-cycling life. Nevertheless, their large-scale application is still hindered by the poor stability and rate capability of the cathode. In this work, we designed a three-dimensional cross-linked network composed of NiFe alloy nanowires via a magnetic-field assisted method. The as-prepared NiFe nanowires (NiFe NWs) are mixed with NaCl as the composite cathode of sodium-metal chloride batteries, delivering exceptionally enhanced rate performance (150.3 mAh/g@0.88 C) and superior cycling stability (84.3% capacity retention after 500 cycles). The properties are superior to those of the cathode based on the pristine Ni nanowires or the NiFe nanoparticles, which is ascribe to the existence of active Fe metal and the continuous conductive network, as confirmed by kinetics analysis. After experiencing a long-term cycling at large current density (∼0.88 C), no obvious coarsening of NiFe NWs and NaCl particles occurs. Moreover, the large-size Na-NiCl2 battery with capacity of 229 mAh reaches a practical energy density of 265.65 Wh kg−1 (∼0.3 C) with energy efficiency of 88.6%. Therefore, our work provides a guide for rational design of cathode structure, thereby improving rate and cycling performance of Na-NiCl2 batteries.
高温氯化钠镍(Na-NiCl2)电池作为一种先进的储能技术,具有原料丰富、安全性高、循环寿命长等显著优势。然而,其大规模应用仍然受到阴极稳定性和速率能力差的阻碍。在这项研究中,我们通过磁场辅助方法设计了一种由镍铁合金纳米线组成的三维交联网络。制备的镍铁合金纳米线(NiFe NWs)与氯化钠(NaCl)混合后用作氯化钠金属电池的复合阴极,可显著提高速率性能(150.3 mAh/g@0.88 C)和循环稳定性(500 次循环后容量保持率为 84.3%)。其性能优于基于原始镍纳米线或镍铁纳米颗粒的阴极,这归功于活性铁金属的存在和连续的导电网络,这一点已通过动力学分析得到证实。在大电流密度(∼0.88 C)下长期循环后,镍铁纳米线和氯化钠颗粒没有发生明显的粗化现象。此外,容量为 229 mAh 的大尺寸 Na-NiCl2 电池的实用能量密度达到 265.65 Wh kg-1 (∼0.3 C),能量效率为 88.6%。因此,我们的工作为合理设计正极结构提供了指导,从而提高了 Na-NiCl2 电池的速率和循环性能。

空隙对 3D 打印连续亚麻纤维增强聚乳酸复合材料吸声行为影响的实验和数值评估
This study aims to quantitatively analyze the effects of voids on sound absorption properties of 3D printed continuous flax fiber reinforced PLA composites (CFFRCs). Three kinds of flax yarns with different linear density were employed to prepare CFFRCs via 3D printing technology. The sound absorption performances of these composites were measured using the impedance tube based on the two-microphone transfer function method. The microstructure morphologies including cross-sections of flax yarns, voids shape and distributions of the composites were observed via ultra-depth microscope and micro-computed tomography to reconstruct the exact structures in simulation. Mercury intrusion porosimetry was applied to measure the voids dimensions of CFFRCs. The influence of voids on sound absorption mechanisms of CFFRCs were revealed based on thermoviscous acoustics theory by conducting the simulation in COMSOL software. The experimental results demonstrated that CFFRCs exhibited excellent sound absorption coefficients (close to 1) within the frequency range of 150 to 350 Hz and 350 to 550 Hz, resulting from the voids inside and between the flax yarns respectively. With the increase of linear density (diameter of the yarn), the contents of voids inside and between the flax yarns both increased. The dimensions of voids inside the flax yarns improved while those between flax yarns remained unchanged. The existence of the voids between the flax yarns resulted in a decrease in the sound absorption coefficient of CFFRCs, while more voids inside flax yarns led to the increase of the sound absorption frequency. Numerical results indicated that voids between the flax yarns contributed to a more uniform change in sound speed, reducing sound absorption performance. Whereas, voids inside the flax yarns could improve viscous friction of soundwaves due to narrow structures, enhancing sound absorption capabilities. This study is anticipated to provide a guidance for the design of integration of structure and function of 3D printed CFFRCs.
本研究旨在定量分析空隙对三维打印连续亚麻纤维增强聚乳酸复合材料(CFFRC)吸声性能的影响。研究采用三种不同线密度的亚麻纱线,通过三维打印技术制备 CFFRC。利用基于双传声器传递函数法的阻抗管测量了这些复合材料的吸声性能。通过超深显微镜和微型计算机断层扫描观察了复合材料的微观结构形态,包括亚麻纱的横截面、空隙形状和分布,从而在模拟中重建了确切的结构。汞侵入孔隙模拟法用于测量 CFFRC 的空隙尺寸。通过在 COMSOL 软件中进行模拟,基于热粘声学理论揭示了空隙对 CFFRC 吸声机制的影响。实验结果表明,CFFRC 在 150 至 350 Hz 和 350 至 550 Hz 频率范围内表现出优异的吸声系数(接近 1),这分别是由于亚麻纱内部和亚麻纱之间的空隙造成的。随着线性密度(纱线直径)的增加,亚麻纱线内部和纱线之间的空隙含量都有所增加。亚麻纱内部空隙的尺寸有所改善,而亚麻纱之间空隙的尺寸保持不变。亚麻纱之间空隙的存在导致 CFFRC 的吸声系数降低,而亚麻纱内部空隙的增加则导致吸声频率增加。数值结果表明,亚麻纱之间的空隙会使声速变化更加均匀,从而降低吸音性能。而亚麻纱线内部的空隙由于结构狭窄,可以改善声波的粘性摩擦,从而提高吸音能力。这项研究有望为三维打印 CFFRC 的结构与功能一体化设计提供指导。
