It is found that the streamwise enstrophy and the spanwise enstrophy are suppressed by the attenuation of the stretching terms at first, while the vertical enstrophy is reduced by inhibiting the tilt of the mean shear. In the initial period of the control, the streamwise enstrophy evolves much slower than the other two components. The vertical vorticity component exhibits a rapid monotonic decrease and also plays an important role in the attenuation of the other two components.展开更多

The axisymmetric flexural free vibration of such plates, governed by coupled differential equations with variable coefficients by use of the Mindlin plate theory, is very difficult to be studied analytically. In this paper, a novel analytical method is proposed to reduce such governing equations for circular plates to a pair of uncoupled and easily solvable differential equations of the Sturm-Liouville type. There are two important parameters in the reduced equations. One describes the radial variations of the translational inertia and fiexural rigidity with the consideration of the effect of Poisson＇s ratio. The other reflects the comprehensive effect of the rotatory inertia and shear deformation. The Heun-type equations, recently well-known in physics, are introduced here to solve the flexural free vibration of circular plates analytically, and two basic differential formulae for the local Heun-type functions are discovered for the first time, which will be of great value in enriching the theory of Heun-type differential equations.展开更多

A new computational method is proposed, based on the projection operators which project the governing equations onto the sub- space spanned by the radial vorticity and radial velocity. The method is validated by comparing with the previous studies. Two peaks of the maximum transient growth am- plification curve are found at different Reynolds numbers ranging from 20 000 to 250 000. The optimal flow structures are obtained and compared with the experiments and DNS results. The location of the outer peak is at the azimuthal wave number n = 1, while the location of the inner peak is varying with the Reynolds number. It is observed that the velocity streaks in the buffer layer with a spacing of 100δv are the most amplified flow structures. Finally, we consider the optimal transient growth time and its dependence on the azimuthal wave length. It shows a self-similar behavior for perturbations of different scales in the optimal transient growth process.展开更多

For this mixed-mode test method, the analytical expres- sions for the energy release rate and stress intensity factors were derived based on the energy theory and the concept of ＂equi- valence＂. The fidelity of these expressions was affirmed by selected finite element analysis. The experimental results showed that the critical energy release rate increased with the increase of the positive mode mixity, which was mainly due to the increase in contact/friction effect and plastic work dissipation with increasing shear mode loading. Furthermore, an elliptical interfacial failure criterion in terms of the stress intensity factors was proposed. The agreement between the experimental results in the literature and those in our work indicated that our test method and the corresponding analytical solutions can well determine the interfaeial fracture toughness of the TBCs over a wide range of mode mixities.展开更多

An understanding of the microstructure-property relationship is essential in the design optimization of the assembly process. This work presents a theoretical model to analyze the deformations during the assembly of the 3D spiral-shaped mesostructure from a bilayer precursor that consists of a supporting ribbon and a 2D coil on its top. As validated by both the experiments and finite element analyses(FEA), this mechanics model allows accurate predictions of the assembled 3D configurations. In combination of electromagnetic simulations, we investigated the effects of various key design parameters on the final 3D configuration and the Q factor when operated as an inductor. The results suggest a significant role of the gravity effect on the assembled spiral configuration, especially for flexible coil designs with relative small cross-sectional areas or long wires.This study can serve as a reference for the design of spiral-shaped 3D inductors in different device applications.展开更多

The determination of residual stress at single-point has become mature at present. However, the method to determine residual stress distribution is still in shortage. For this problem, a finite element approach combined with slot milling method was developed in this study. In the method, firstly a slot is milled on the specimen surface to release the residual stress and then the released displacement field is measured by optical method, such as digital image correlation （DIC）, finally the finite element approach is used to determine the residual stress distribution along the slot. In order to verify the feasibility of the method, it was applied to study the residual stress introduced by shot peening, mainly about the stress distribution along the direction vertical to the shot peened surface. Since the influence depth of shot peening was too small, we utilized focused ion beam （FIB） to determine the microscale residual stress distribution. The result measured by X-ray diffraction （XRD） demonstrated that the method was feasible to determine the residual stress distribution.展开更多

Void h＇action is an important parameter for the evaluation of creep damage level of structural materials operating at high temperature. In this paper, a 2-D numerical simulation method was developed for analyzing the void fraction evolution during the process of creep, based on some hypothesis from experiments. The model was implemented and then was used to predict the evolution of void fraction in the 2.25Cr-1Mo steel of uniaxial creep experiment at 570 ℃, in which the simulation results showed good agreement with the experimental results.展开更多

文摘In this work, a test method was developed to determine the interfacial fracture toughness of the air plasma sprayed （APS） thermal barrier coatings （TBCs） over a wide range of mode mixities. For this mixed-mode test method, the analytical expres- sions for the energy release rate and stress intensity factors were derived based on the energy theory and the concept of ＂equi- valence＂. The fidelity of these expressions was affirmed by selected finite element analysis. The experimental results showed that the critical energy release rate increased with the increase of the positive mode mixity, which was mainly due to the increase in contact/friction effect and plastic work dissipation with increasing shear mode loading. Furthermore, an elliptical interfacial failure criterion in terms of the stress intensity factors was proposed. The agreement between the experimental results in the literature and those in our work indicated that our test method and the corresponding analytical solutions can well determine the interfaeial fracture toughness of the TBCs over a wide range of mode mixities.

As validated by both the experiments and finite element analyses(FEA), this mechanics model allows accurate predictions of the assembled 3D configurations. In combination of electromagnetic simulations, we investigated the effects of various key design parameters on the final 3D configuration and the Q factor when operated as an inductor. The results suggest a significant role of the gravity effect on the assembled spiral configuration, especially for flexible coil designs with relative small cross-sectional areas or long wires.This study can serve as a reference for the design of spiral-shaped 3D inductors in different device applications.

文摘Residual stress plays a vital role in the structural strength and stability. The determination of residual stress at single-point has become mature at present. However, the method to determine residual stress distribution is still in shortage. For this problem, a finite element approach combined with slot milling method was developed in this study. In the method, firstly a slot is milled on the specimen surface to release the residual stress and then the released displacement field is measured by optical method, such as digital image correlation （DIC）, finally the finite element approach is used to determine the residual stress distribution along the slot. In order to verify the feasibility of the method, it was applied to study the residual stress introduced by shot peening, mainly about the stress distribution along the direction vertical to the shot peened surface. Since the influence depth of shot peening was too small, we utilized focused ion beam （FIB） to determine the microscale residual stress distribution. The result measured by X-ray diffraction （XRD） demonstrated that the method was feasible to determine the residual stress distribution.

文摘This paper investigates the effect of the location of testing area in residual stress measurement by Moiréinterferometry combined with hole-drilling method.The selection of the location of the testing area is analyzed from theory and experiment.In the theoretical study,the factors which affect the surface released radial strainεr were analyzed on the basis of the formulae of the hole-drilling method,and the relations between those factors andεr were established.By combining Moiréinterferometry with the hole-drilling method,the residual stress of interference-fit specimen was measured to verify the theoretical analysis.According to the analysis results,the testing area for minimizing the error of strain measurement is determined.Moreover,if the orientation of the maximum principal stress is known,the value of strain will be measured with higher precision by the Moiréinterferometry method.

文摘At elevated temperature, creep failures of polycrystalline metals after long-term constant loading are often caused by the nucleation, growth and coalescence of creep voids on the grain boundaries. Void h＇action is an important parameter for the evaluation of creep damage level of structural materials operating at high temperature. In this paper, a 2-D numerical simulation method was developed for analyzing the void fraction evolution during the process of creep, based on some hypothesis from experiments. The model was implemented and then was used to predict the evolution of void fraction in the 2.25Cr-1Mo steel of uniaxial creep experiment at 570 ℃, in which the simulation results showed good agreement with the experimental results.
