密度分级的沃罗诺蜂窝--局部横向各向同性描述
Density-graded cellular materials, in which their relative density varies with location, are amenable to design for multi-functions, and have been used in mechanical buffers and protective structures. To estimate the force–deformation responses of density-graded cellular materials efficiently without resorting to modelling individual cells, a constitutive model based on local transverse isotropy is adopted. Metallic Voronoi honeycomb-like specimens with cell sizes that vary with position, are fabricated via 3D printing, to represent a density-graded cellular material with local transverse isotropy that varies with position. From quasi-static compression tests and cell-based finite element (FE) simulations, the influence of relative density on the continuum constitutive model is investigated and demonstrated to be significant. The model is then used to predict the global stress–strain response and deformation of cellular materials with positive and negative density-gradients, defined along the loading direction, subjected to uniaxial quasi-static compression, quasi-static indentation, and dynamic compression. The results show that for quasi-static compression, severe plastic deformation progresses from the low relative density region to the high relative density region; however, impact loading and indentation of negative density-gradient Voronoi honeycombs generates two zones of gross deformation – in the vicinity of the applied load and the opposite lower density end. Predictions based on the proposed constitutive model display good correlation with experimental and cell-based FE results.

静水压力扰动下细胞粘附的瞬时不稳定性
The balance between stress and adhesion governs many behaviors of adherent cells such as cell migration. In certain microenvironments such as that of a tumor, variations in hydrostatic pressure be substantial compared to cell-generated stresses. These variations can affect stress-activated ion channels whose activation can in turn affect cell volume and adhesion. To study these effects, we developed a theoretical model to relate changes in hydrostatic pressure to the morphology and volume of adherent cells. The model predicted the bistability of cell morphology (i.e., a snap-through instability) under hydrostatic pressure for certain ranges of adhesion energy density. This snap-through instability can enable cells to spontaneously detach from their environment, and may have bearing on migration and metastasis.
We conducted uniaxial tensile strain rate jump tests to account for the strain rate controlling mechanisms in the additively manufactured SS316L stainless steel. Special emphasis is placed on the role of high dislocation density and chemical segregation on dictating the rate sensitive behaviour. Lowest strain rate sensitivity is found, despite the highest dislocation density in the as build state, which signified the role of solute segregation at cell walls in increasing the activation volume and forms the strong basis for rejecting dislocation forest as the strain rate controlling obstacles. Consistent increase in the strain rate sensitivity with annealing is found consistent with the chemical homogenisation of the solutes causing smaller inter-obstacle spacing causing decreasing activation volume. Experimental findings are supported by CALPHAD simulations and mechanical threshold stress (MTS) modelling framework. Significant difference between the instantaneous and steady state rate sensitivity is understood using the dynamic pileup dislocation density readjustment mechanism causing considerable flow transient while adjusting the mobile dislocation density on strain rate change in the presence of solute decorated dislocation cells. Present investigation helps in gaining newer insights into the deformation mechanisms of the additively manufactured alloys featuring cellular microstructures.

集多波束和增强机械性能于一体的新型三明治结构欺骗性表面等离子体极化子天线
The conventional antennas will increase the radar cross section of aircrafts and affect their aerodynamic performances, a novel antenna scheme for radiation and load-bearing integrated design based on composite sandwich structure is proposed. By constructing spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) structure and combining it with glass fiber composite (FR-4) plates, the radiation direction of the monopole can be controlled and the antenna will be endowed with load-bearing capacity. At the meantime, polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam is filled in its spacing to improve the mechanical performances greatly. Through electromagnetic (EM) simulation and test, it is found that four-beam radiation in different directions radiation and eight-beam can be realized by changing the position of the FR-4 laminates, and the bandwidth is all about 1 GHz with a peak gain about 6.5 dBi. Out-of-plane compression experiment indicates that the proposed PMI foam-filled multibeam antenna structure (PFMAS) gathers the high bearing capacity of multibeam antenna structure (MAS) and the high energy absorption characteristics of PMI foam, showing an obvious coupling effect. Its specific compressive strength is 150.10% and 6.28%, and energy absorption capacity per unit volume is 169.91% and 362.08% higher than that of PMI foam and MAS, respectively. The proposed PFMAS improves the structural utilization efficiency, and can be applied to some interlocking units of square honeycomb structure to endow multibeam radiation characteristics, which can expand the application of integrated antenna structures effectively.

深水环境中圆柱形装药产生的冲击波和气泡载荷共同作用下的背水板结构响应研究
The structural response of the water-back plate under the combined action of shock wave and bubble loads at water depths of 1–300 m is investigated numerically using an arbitrary Lagrange–Euler method. The accuracy of the numerical model is verified by a comparison with the shallow-water experimental results and theoretical results. Specifically, the influences of the water depth and length-to-diameter ratio of the cylindrical charge on the combined damage effect of the shock wave and bubble loads are analysed. The following conclusions are drawn. As water depth increases from 1m to 300m, the plastic deformation energy of the water-back plate decreases, meanwhile the permanent deformation mode of a water-backed plate changes from convex to concave under the combined action of shock wave and bubble loads; when the charge has large length-to-diameter, the plastic deformation energy of radial plate under combined action of the shock wave and bubble loads is higher than that of axial plate at water depths of 1–300 m, and both difference decrease with increasing water depth; the combined damage effect of the shock wave and bubble loads can be enhanced in the radial direction by increasing the length-to-diameter ratio in deep-water environments. When the length-to-diameter ratio increases from 1:1 to 8.2:1, the plastic deformation energy of the radial plate gradually increases by 7.58% from 10.68–11.49 J.

空间倾斜无粘结索预应力薄壁钢梁的空间稳定性理论及其有限元计算公式
A spatial stability theory of mono-symmetric thin-walled steel beams pre-stressed (PS) by spatially inclined cables is firstly derived using an energy method where it is assumed that deviators are rigid. Its FE formulation is then presented under bonded/un-bonded multi-deviator conditions. After that, validity and accuracy of the present formulation is demonstrated through numerical examples. Finally, effects of initial tension, deviator numbers, inclined cable profiles, and un-bonded/bonded conditions on lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) of the PS bi-/mono-symmetric beams are investigated under external loadings. Particularly, new findings on LTB characteristics of the PS beams are presented with a specific emphasis on the effects of increasing initial tension.

冷弯钢椭圆空心截面桩柱暴露于 ISO-834 防火曲线后的结构行为
The present study undertakes the post-fire stub column behaviour of cold-formed steel elliptical hollow sections (CFS-EHS) by experimental and numerical analyses. A total of 18 CFS-EHS stub column specimens made up of four cross-section series was firstly prepared, heated in a gas furnace as per the ISO-834 standard fire and then naturally cooled down to ambient temperature. Four fire exposure temperatures of 300°C, 550°C, 750°C and 900°C were adopted. Details of the experimental campaign, e.g., specimen preparation, test procedures and results, are presented. Accurate finite element (FE) model was established to mimic the experimental responses from various perspectives. Exhaustive parametric studies were subsequently conducted on 224 post-fire CFS-EHS stub columns to generate substantial data. The test and FE results were compared with the strength calculations using the equivalent diameter method and equivalent rectangular hollow section method developed for hot-finished steel elliptical hollow sections without fire exposure, the Direct Strength Method (DSM) stipulated in the American Specification AISI S100, as well as the modified DSM previously calibrated for CFS-EHS without fire exposure. By replacing the material properties obtained at ambient temperature with the post-fire material properties in the aforementioned design methods, it is shown that the equivalent section methods and the existing DSM overly underestimate the column strengths, whilst the modified DSM yields precise and reliable strength estimations. It is recommended to adopt the modified DSM for calculating the residual compressive strengths of CFS-EHS stub columns after exposure to the ISO-834 standard fire.
