材料结构对新拌混凝土重力流的影响
The paper investigates the influence of material fabric on gravity flow in fresh concrete. A discrete element method (DEM) based approach is developed: polyhedral particles of random shape and size are used to model the coarse aggregates. This enables the effect of meso-geometry to be studied. A meso constitutive model appropriate for fresh concrete is proposed. The DEM model is experimentally validated, and used to simulate gravity flow. The results shed light on the role of fabric anisotropy, whose history is found to be crucial in determining the rate of slump and spread. The history of the flow is seen to be separable into a pre-peak fabric-dominated regime, where there is a sharp build-up in anisotropy, and a post-peak momentum-dominated regime, where randomness is restored to the fabric. The evolution of fabric anisotropy also provides information on the stability of the mix: a large drop in anisotropy in the post-peak regime is seen to coincide with a tendency for the larger particles to separate, contributing to slower spread. The overall conclusion is that gravity flow in a dense two-phase system such as concrete is sensitive to the interplay between fabric anisotropy and the intensity of the contact-driven constraints impeding flow.
研究了材料结构对新拌混凝土重力流的影响。提出了一种基于离散元法(DEM)的方法:采用随机形状和大小的多面体颗粒来模拟粗集料。这使得研究介观几何的影响成为可能。提出了一种适用于新混凝土的细观本构模型。实验验证了DEM模型的有效性,并将其用于重力流模拟。结果揭示了织物各向异性的作用,织物各向异性的历史被发现是决定坍落度和扩散速度的关键。流动的历史被视为可分为峰前织物主导的制度,其中有一个各向异性的急剧积累,和峰后动量主导的制度,其中随机性被恢复到织物。织物各向异性的演变也提供了有关混合物稳定性的信息:峰后各向异性的大幅下降与较大颗粒分离的趋势一致,有助于减缓扩散。总的结论是,在混凝土等致密两相体系中,重力流对织物各向异性和接触驱动约束强度之间的相互作用很敏感。

通过电压控制设计具有可切换磁滞的铁电/介电双层结构
Multilayer ferroelectric thin films have attracted a lot of research attention in recent years due to their ability to produce topological domain structures and their outstanding energy storage performance. In this study we propose a bilayer thin-film design consisting of a BaTiO3 ferroelectric layer and a dielectric layer with specifically selected dielectric constant and layer thickness ratio. The hysteresis behavior of this bilayer system can switch among various characteristics by controlling the applied voltage to the system. We quantitatively investigated the effects of the material parameter and the layer thickness ratio on the hysteresis performance of the bilayer system via phase-field simulation. It is demonstrated that one is able to achieve switchable hysteresis with ferroelectric, antiferroelectric-like or relaxor-ferroelectric-like characteristics by assigning various values to the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer. In addition, the switching between antiferroelectric-like and relaxor-ferroelectric-like characteristics can be achieved by adjusting the amplitude of the applied electric field. Remarkable topological domain structures were found in the bilayer system with relaxor-ferroelectric-like hysteresis. One is able to achieve outstanding energy storage density of 123 J/cm3 and energy storage efficiency of 90 % at the amplitude of 10 MV/cm with the antiferroelectric-like hysteresis. This design method may be applied to other multilayer systems to achieve enhanced domain-structure control and energy storage performance.
近年来,多层铁电薄膜因其具有拓扑畴结构和优异的储能性能而引起了广泛的研究关注。在本研究中,我们提出了由BaTiO3铁电层和介电层组成的双层薄膜设计,并特别选择介电常数和层厚比。该双层系统的磁滞特性可以通过控制外加电压在各种特性之间切换。通过相场模拟定量研究了材料参数和层厚比对双层体系迟滞性能的影响。结果表明,通过赋予介质层的介电常数不同的值,可以实现具有铁电、类反铁电或类弛豫铁电特性的可切换磁滞。此外,通过调节外加电场的振幅,可以实现反铁电特性和弛豫铁电特性之间的切换。在具有弛豫-铁电样迟滞的双层体系中发现了显著的拓扑结构。在10 MV/cm的振幅下,可以实现123 J/cm3的储能密度和90 %的储能效率,并具有反铁电样滞后。这种设计方法可以应用于其他多层系统,以实现增强的域结构控制和能量存储性能。

结晶塑性与损伤的几何特征动力学热力学变形理论及内在指标
A geometrically characteristic kinetic thermodynamic deformation theory is proposed for effective predictions over the full-life mechanical behaviour of crystalline solid. From a theoretic perspective, the proposed theory is distinguished from existing internal state variable theories at least in two aspects. Firstly, it is “geometrically characteristic” because the quantities employed for summarising the underlying defect status bear clear geometric meaning. An inelastic deformation status can be considered as the combination of two modes: a deviatoric mode resulting from the motion of distortional defects mainly underlying plasticity, and a volumetric mode resulting from the evolution of dilating defects likely giving rise to damage. Secondly, the proposed theory is said to be “kinetic”, because the mechanisms of underlying microstructural evolution impeded by local energy barriers are taken into account. A pair of material-intrinsic quantities measuring the hosting materials’ capabilities of resisting further inelastic deformation are then identified, which are employed as indices to assess the mechanical performance of crystalline solid. It is shown that conventional uniaxially loading data should suffice for calibrating the present theory, and this is in comparison with most existing ductile-damage models, where multi-triaxiality data seem necessary for calibration. The present theory, upon calibration against monotonic loading data, is also shown to be capable of describing non-monotonically loading situations, such as scenarios with cyclic loading and the phenomena of anisotropic plasticity.
为有效预测结晶固体的全寿命力学行为,提出了具有几何特征的动力学热力学变形理论。从理论角度看,本文提出的理论与现有的内状态变量理论至少有两个方面的区别。首先,它具有“几何特征”,因为用于总结潜在缺陷状态的数量具有明确的几何含义。非弹性变形状态可以被认为是两种模式的结合:一种是由主要基于塑性的扭曲缺陷运动引起的偏差模式,另一种是由可能导致损伤的膨胀缺陷演变引起的体积模式。其次,所提出的理论被认为是“动力学的”,因为考虑了局部能量势垒阻碍的潜在微观结构演化机制。然后确定了一对测量承载材料抵抗进一步非弹性变形能力的材料本征量,它们被用作评估结晶固体机械性能的指标。结果表明,传统的单轴加载数据足以校准目前的理论,这与大多数现有的延性损伤模型相比,其中多三轴数据似乎是必要的校准。在对单调加载数据进行校正后,本理论也被证明能够描述非单调加载情况,如循环加载和各向异性塑性现象。

大直径薄壁铜导管与铝线束的磁脉冲压接:数值与实验分析
Large diameter high-voltage harness joint is prone to high impedance and low reliability during manufacturing process. To address this problem, joining of large diameter thin-walled copper conduit and aluminum wire harness via magnetic pulse crimping (MPC) was proposed. Mechanical and electrical property, microstructure, joining and failure mechanism of joints were investigated. Results indicated that compaction degree and tensile strength of MPC joint could be improved by increasing discharge energy, harness diameter and crimping times, and adjusting crimping position. The optimal process parameters for MPC joint was 35 kJ of discharge energy, 19 mm of harness diameter, 4 mm of single point crimping position, and 28 mm of two point crimping distance. Maximum tensile load of single point MPC joint could reach 20.5 kN, and two point MPC joint could reach 31.8 kN, with an improvement rate of 55.1%. Compared with hydraulic crimping (HC) joints, tensile strength of single point and two point MPC joints increased by 22.4% and 18.4%, and contact resistance decreased by 82.4% and 77.8%. Failure modes for cable joints could be divided into overall pull-out failure of harness, fracture failure of partial single strand aluminum core, and layer-by-layer fracture failure of aluminum core from outside to inside. Compaction degree and deformation uniformity were key factors affecting joint performance. A wavy welding interface in MPC joints was observed, which contributed to their superior mechanical and electrical properties. This study provides a direction for manufacturing high-quality Cu/Al dissimilar cable joints with significant engineering application value.
大直径高压线束接头在制造过程中容易产生高阻抗和低可靠性。为解决这一问题,提出了采用磁脉冲压接技术将大直径薄壁铜管与铝线束连接。对接头的力学性能、微观组织、连接及破坏机理进行了研究。结果表明,增大放电能量、线束直径、压接次数和调整压接位置可以提高MPC接头的压实度和抗拉强度。MPC接头的最佳工艺参数为放电能量35 kJ、线束直径19 mm、单点压接位置4 mm、两点压接距离28 mm。单点MPC接头的最大拉伸载荷可达20.5 kN,两点MPC接头的最大拉伸载荷可达31.8 kN,提高率为55.1%。与液压压接(HC)接头相比,单点和两点MPC接头的抗拉强度分别提高了22.4%和18.4%,接触电阻分别降低了82.4%和77.8%。电缆接头的失效模式可分为线束整体拔出失效、部分单股铝芯断裂失效和铝芯由外向内逐层断裂失效。压实度和变形均匀性是影响节理性能的关键因素。在MPC接头中观察到波纹焊接界面,这使得MPC接头具有良好的力学和电学性能。该研究为高质量铜/铝异种电缆接头的制造提供了方向,具有重要的工程应用价值。

高速激光- cmt复合焊接技术对薄壁不锈钢角焊缝接头性能的显著提高
As industrial demand for efficient welding continues to rise, the application of laser-arc hybrid welding has become increasingly widespread. Traditionally, this technology has been viewed as suitable mainly for thick plate welding, with limited use for thin plates. However, this study challenges that notion by showing that high-speed welding with precise control can successfully create high-efficiency, low-distortion, and corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel corner welds. This broadens the technique's potential applications. A systematic comparison was conducted between Laser- cold metal transfer (CMT) hybrid welding and CMT welding in terms of macro morphology, microstructural, mechanical properties, residual stress distribution, post-weld distortion, and corrosion resistance. Results indicate that Laser-CMT hybrid welding is particularly effective for high-speed welding. Even at double the welding speed of CMT, the welded quality still meets traditional standards. Both welding processes produced weld zones consisting of acicular ferrite and feather-like bainite; however, Laser-CMT welding achieved a 17.8% grain refinement. Residual stress distribution under Laser-CMT was more uniform, with reduced angular distortion. Compared with the CMT process, the peak values of longitudinal residual stress and transverse residual stress of the Laser-CMT process were reduced by 42% and 26%, respectively, while angular distortion was reduced by 0.61°. Laser-CMT effectively controls the metal flow during welding, minimizing defects and enhancing both the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the weld joints. Compared to CMT, the tensile shear strength and displacement of Laser-CMT joints increased by 5.2% and 56.3%. These findings prove its feasibility for high-performance thin-wall structures in engineering.
随着工业对高效焊接需求的不断提高,激光-电弧复合焊接的应用日益广泛。传统上,这种技术被认为主要适用于厚板焊接,对薄板的应用有限。然而,这项研究挑战了这一概念,表明高速焊接和精确控制可以成功地创造出高效率、低变形和耐腐蚀的304不锈钢角焊缝。这扩大了该技术的潜在应用。从宏观形貌、微观组织、力学性能、残余应力分布、焊后变形和耐蚀性等方面对激光-冷金属转移(CMT)复合焊接和CMT焊接进行了系统的比较。结果表明,激光- cmt复合焊接对高速焊接尤为有效。即使在两倍于CMT的焊接速度下,焊接质量仍符合传统标准。两种焊接工艺均产生由针状铁素体和羽状贝氏体组成的焊缝区;而激光- cmt焊接达到了17.8%的晶粒细化。激光- cmt的残余应力分布更加均匀,角畸变减小。与CMT加工相比,激光-CMT加工的纵向残余应力峰值和横向残余应力峰值分别减小了42%和26%,角度畸变减小了0.61°。激光cmt技术有效地控制了焊接过程中的金属流动,最大限度地减少了缺陷,提高了焊缝的力学性能和耐腐蚀性。与CMT相比,激光-CMT接头的抗拉剪切强度和位移分别提高了5.2%和56.3%。这些研究结果证明了该方法在高性能薄壁结构工程中的可行性。

组合冷弯钢轻混凝土(CFS-LWC)组合梁:EN 1994-1-1和AISC-360的适用性
Cold-formed steel (CFS) products are highly adaptable and suitable for several structural applications. Recent experiments conducted by the authors have demonstrated that incorporating composite action within systems comprising built-up CFS beams and lightweight concrete (LWC) is viable and can significantly enhance structural performance. However, current design methodologies lack specific guidelines for innovative demountable CFS-LWC composite beams, which are necessary to leverage the benefits of composite action under a sagging bending moment. The available composite design procedures are for steel beams and concrete slabs connected by welded shear studs, while in CFS-LWC composite beam systems, bolts are used as shear connectors, and the ratio of bolt diameter to the CFS top flange thickness is higher than 2.5 (limit provided by EN1994-1-1). This research aims to assess the possibility of extending the available design specifications to predict the bending resistance of CFS-LWC composite beams. First, the numerical modeling procedure was provided for CFS-LWC composite beams, and its results were validated against the available experimental data. A large parametric study was undertaken by considering different beam spans, CFS and LWC geometries, and material properties. The numerical results were then compared with design predictions per EN 1994-1-1 and AISC-360. The findings indicate that the design specifications tend to overestimate the bending resistance of CFS-LWC composite beams due to the absence of suitable expressions to determine the shear resistance of bolted shear connectors and thin steel plates, where the local buckling of the CFS section is not considered. Therefore, the influence of the localized buckling was explicitly taken into account by conducting pushout simulations. A good agreement between numerical results and design predictions following EN 1994-1-1 and AISC-360 was observed when the shear resistance of the bolted shear connector was obtained by numerical pushout simulation.
冷弯型钢(CFS)产品适应性强,适用于多种结构应用。作者最近进行的实验表明,在由组合式CFS梁和轻质混凝土(LWC)组成的系统中结合复合作用是可行的,并且可以显著提高结构性能。然而,目前的设计方法缺乏创新的可拆卸CFS-LWC复合梁的具体指导方针,这对于在下沉弯矩下利用复合作用的优势是必要的。现有的组合设计程序是通过焊接剪力螺栓连接钢梁和混凝土板,而在CFS- lwc组合梁系统中,螺栓作为剪切连接,螺栓直径与CFS顶部法兰厚度的比值高于2.5 (EN1994-1-1规定的限值)。本研究旨在评估扩展现有设计规范以预测CFS-LWC组合梁抗弯性能的可能性。首先,对CFS-LWC组合梁进行了数值模拟,并与已有的实验数据进行了验证。通过考虑不同的梁跨度、CFS和LWC几何形状以及材料特性,进行了大型参数化研究。然后将数值结果与en1994 -1-1和AISC-360的设计预测进行了比较。研究结果表明,由于没有考虑CFS截面的局部屈曲,设计规范中没有合适的表达式来确定螺栓剪切连接件和薄钢板的抗剪能力,因此设计规范往往高估了CFS- lwc组合梁的抗弯能力。因此,通过进行推出模拟,明确考虑了局部屈曲的影响。通过推拔数值模拟得到螺栓剪切连接件的抗剪性能,结果表明,数值结果与按照en1994 -1-1和AISC-360进行的设计预测吻合较好。

附加钢板桁架桥梁铆接接头的试验与数值研究
To study the mechanical properties of reinforced riveted joints in existing truss bridges, a full-scale local test model of joint reinforced with added steel plates was designed and fabricated. A static test was conducted to measure the behavior of the joint plates under loads, revealing the failure process of the reinforced joint. A detailed finite element model was developed to simulate the reinforced joint plates and the connections, with its reliability validated through comparison with the test results. The finite element model provided comprehensive insights into the stress distribution, plate deformation, and forces acting on the rivets and bolts of the reinforced joint. The results indicated that the final failure of the reinforced joint occurred at the diagonal web member, showing necking after reaching the ultimate load. The rivets connecting the original joint plates and the new joint plates experienced shear failure and showed significant displacement values. The ultimate bearing capacity of the reinforced joint was estimated to be 3.07 times the internal force under the fundamental combination of actions.

由3d打印扭转SiC超材料实现的宽带,广角和高温微波吸收器
The design and fabrication of absorbers exhibiting ultra-broadband and wide-angle absorption characteristics represent a viable strategy for enhancing the radar evasion capabilities of hypersonic vehicles. However, traditional microwave absorbing materials are difficult to meet the application requirements of hypersonic vehicles due to their strong angular domain sensitivity, insufficient stealth frequency band, and limited performance under elevated temperature conditions. This study presents a straightforward approach to the development of a 3D-printed ceramic-based microwave absorber. Utilizing powder extrusion printing (PEP) technology, we fabricated a torsion metamaterial absorber composed of silicon carbide (SiC). The structural design integrates the impedance gradient properties of a stepped configuration, the multi-surface attributes of a triply periodic minimal surface structure, and the porous characteristics inherent to a honeycomb structure. The absorber benefits from significant interfacial loss and dipole polarization resulting from the diverse phases within SiC ceramics, in conjunction with the innovative design that merges gradient-variable impedance with a multi-scale loss mechanism of the twisted body. Consequently, the absorber achieves an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL < -10 dB) of 32.87 GHz, a RLmin of -57.15 dB, and demonstrates insensitivity across a wide angular range of 0° to 60°, while also exhibiting remarkable absorption stability at elevated temperatures. These findings offer valuable insights for the advancement of novel high-temperature microwave absorbing materials characterized by extensive absorption frequency ranges and wide-angle performance.
设计和制造具有超宽带和广角吸收特性的吸波器是提高高超声速飞行器躲避雷达能力的可行策略。然而,传统吸波材料的角域灵敏度较强,隐身频带不足,高温条件下性能有限,难以满足高超声速飞行器的应用需求。本研究提出了一种开发3d打印陶瓷微波吸收器的直接方法。利用粉末挤压印刷(PEP)技术,制备了一种由碳化硅(SiC)组成的扭转吸波材料。该结构设计集成了阶梯结构的阻抗梯度特性、三周期最小表面结构的多表面特性以及蜂窝结构固有的多孔特性。吸收器受益于显著的界面损耗和偶极极化,这是由SiC陶瓷内部不同相引起的,结合了创新的设计,将梯度可变阻抗与扭曲体的多尺度损耗机制结合在一起。因此,吸收器的有效吸收带宽(EAB, RL < -10 dB)为32.87 GHz, RLmin为-57.15 dB,并且在0°到60°的宽角范围内表现出不敏感,同时在高温下也表现出显著的吸收稳定性。这些发现为开发具有宽吸收频率范围和广角性能的新型高温微波吸收材料提供了有价值的见解。

高强钢焊接h型钢构件在火灾中受压弯曲复合作用下的结构性能与设计
An experimental investigation into the overall buckling behaviour of high strength steel (HSS) H-section columns under combined compression and bending in fire, to support the assessment and development of structural fire design, is presented. Three grades of high strength steel - Q460, Q690 and Q960 and two H-sections, covering two different cross-sectional slenderness, were examined. Nine (minor- and major-axis) eccentric compression tests were conducted under fire conditions. Suitable finite element models were then developed to simulate the behaviour of tested columns and were validated against test results. After the model was validated, parametric studies were subsequently carried out to generate further numerical data. The results from tests and parametric studies were compared with the design recommendations provided in European and Chinese specifications to assess the accuracy and safety of the fire design standard. A new design approach was proposed to be used to more accurately estimate the critical temperature of HSS welded H-section columns under combined compression and bending.
