This is the first time of using three trusses in such large bridges in the world. These two types of railway floor systems of the two bridges have never been used in China before. The problem how to conform the deformations and stress levels of the railway floor system of WTC Bridge was studied. After finite element analysis and comparison,the plan of arranging one expansion stringer every two panels in railway floor system were proposed and good effect was obtained. Because of the application of three trusses,the allocation of the loads acted on the deck in three trusses is different and varies in different places of NDC Bridge. This problem was studied by model experiment and 3D finite element analysis. The results of 3D FEM analysis coincide with the model test results. The allocation rule of the loads acting on the deck in three trusses was presented. Because of the application of monolithic decks,the stiffness and structural integrity of NDC Bridge are high.展开更多

In this study, the Fe40 Al iron aluminide intermetallic, a low cost material of excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance, was used as binder for fabricating Fe40Al/TiC composites b y pressureless melt infiltration. The wetting ability of liquid Fe40Al in porous TiC pre-form was studied by in-situ monitoring the melting and infiltration p rocess. The infiltration ability was investigated by observing the distance of l iquid Fe40Al intrusion in porous TiC pre-forms at different infiltration temper atures and times by using optical microscope. Porous TiC per-forms with density of 60%～88%TD (theoretical density), prepared under pre-defined sintering temp e rature cycles, were used for fabricating Fe40Al/TiC composites in the range of 1 2%～40% metal content by volume. Almost full dense Fe40Al/TiC composites were su c cessfully fabricated by this technique. Liquid Fe40Al exhibited excellent infilt ration ability, the distance of complete intrusion of liquid Fe40Al in the TiC s intered pre-form with density of 88%TD was over 7 mm after 5 min at the inf iltration temperature of 1 450 ℃. Microstructural observation by SEM and TEM also showed that liquid Fe40Al filled the very narrow gaps among TiC particles, the interfaces of TiC particles and F e40Al plastic ligaments being metallurgical bonded. TEM revealed that high densi ty of dislocations formed in Fe40Al ligaments during solidification, which favor the mechanical properties. Ti decomposed from TiC particles and dissolved into Fe40Al during infiltration. According to the compositional analysis of TEM-EDS, the concentration of Ti in Fe40Al ranges at 1at%～4at% depending on composite f a bricating conditions and the distance from the measuring point to the closest Ti C particles. XRD analysis indicated that the composites were composed of two pha ses, the original TiC and Fe 0.4Al 0.6 intermetallic. No new phase formed during infiltration, but the lattice parameter of Fe 0.4Al 0.6 was expended due to the Ti in the solid solution.展开更多

Potential differences between Bt maize（ND1324 and ND2353 expressing the insecticidal Cry1Ab protein） and near-isogenic non-Bt varieties（ND1392 and ND223） in their influence on the composite microbial system of MC1 during the fermentation process were studied during 2011-2012. Cry1Ab protein in Bt maize residues didn＇t affect characteristics of lignocellulose degradation by MC1, pH of fermentation broth decreasing at initial stage and increasing at later stage of degradation. The quality of various volatile products in fermentation broth showed that no signifi cant difference of residues fermentation existed between Bt maize and non-Bt maize. During the fermentation MC1 efficiently degraded maize residues by 83%-88%, and cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin content decreased by 70%-72%, 72%-75% and 30%-37%, respectively. Besides that, no consistent difference was found between Bt and non-Bt maize residues lignocellulose degradation by MC1 during the fermentation process. MC1 degraded 88%-89% Cry1Ab protein in Bt maize residues, and in the fermentation broth of MC1 and bacteria of MC1 Cry1Ab protein was not detected. DGGE profi le analyses revealed that the microbial community drastically changed during 1-3 days and became stable until the 9th day. Though the dominant strains at different fermentation stages had signifi cantly changed, no difference on the dominant strains was observed between Bt and non-Bt maize at different stages. Our study indicated that Cry1Ab protein did not infl uence the growth characteristic of MC1.展开更多

Potential differences between Bt maize（ND1324 and ND2353 expressing the insecticidal Cry1Ab protein） and near-isogenic non-Bt varieties（ND1392 and ND223） in their influence on the composite microbial system of MC1 during the fermentation process were studied during 2011-2012. Cry1Ab protein in Bt maize residues didn＇t affect characteristics of lignocellulose degradation by MC1, pH of fermentation broth decreasing at initial stage and increasing at later stage of degradation. The quality of various volatile products in fermentation broth showed that no signifi cant difference of residues fermentation existed between Bt maize and non-Bt maize. During the fermentation MC1 efficiently degraded maize residues by 83%-88%, and cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin content decreased by 70%-72%, 72%-75% and 30%-37%, respectively. Besides that, no consistent difference was found between Bt and non-Bt maize residues lignocellulose degradation by MC1 during the fermentation process. MC1 degraded 88%-89% Cry1Ab protein in Bt maize residues, and in the fermentation broth of MC1 and bacteria of MC1 Cry1Ab protein was not detected. DGGE profi le analyses revealed that the microbial community drastically changed during 1-3 days and became stable until the 9th day. Though the dominant strains at different fermentation stages had signifi cantly changed, no difference on the dominant strains was observed between Bt and non-Bt maize at different stages. Our study indicated that Cry1Ab protein did not infl uence the growth characteristic of MC1.
文摘Aseries of [(Fe_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Ni_(0.2))_(0.75-0.03x)B_(0.2)Si_(0.05+0.03x)]_(96)Nb_(4) amorphous alloy composite coatings were prepared by adjusting the silicon content(x=0,1,2,3,4,5,and 6)and their microstructures and tribological properties were investigated by laser cladding technique.Additionally,the effect of Si on the glass forming ability(GFA)of the layers was understood.Results show that an appropriate Si content can refine the microstructure of the FeCoNiBSiNb laser cladding layers and improve the mechanical and tribological properties.The hardness of the coating layer increases monotonically with the Si content.At the Si content of 4.8at%(x=0),the coating layer exhibits a relatively low hardness(734.2HV 0.1).Conversely,at the silicon content of 13.44at%(x=3),the coating layer exhibits the highest hardness(1106HV 0.1).The non-crystalline content and tensile strength exhibit an initial increase,followed by a subsequent decrease.At x=2,the coating exhibits its maximum fracture strength(2880 MPa).However,when x>2,the fracture strength of the coating decreases with an increase in x.Conversely,with an increase in Si content,the wear volume loss initially decreases and then increases.At a Si content of 10.56at%(x=2),the coating exhibits the highest non-crystalline content(42%),the highest tensile strength(2880 MPa),and the most favorable dry friction performance.

文摘Continuous carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide(C/SiC)composites are often subjected to low-velocity impacts when utilized as structural materials for thermal protection.However,research on in-plane impact damage and multiple impact damage of C/SiC composites is limited.To investigate the in-plane impact damage behavior of C/SiC composites,a drop-weight impact test method was developed for strip samples,and these results were subsequently compared with those of C/SiC composite plates.Results show that the in-plane impact behavior of C/SiC strip samples is similar to that of C/SiC composite plates.Variation of the impact load with displacement is characterized by three stages:a nearly linear stage,a severe load drop stage,and a rebound stage where displacement occurs after the impact energy exceeds its peak value.Impact damage behavior under single and multiple impacts on 2D plain and 3D needled C/SiC composites was investigated at different impact energies and durations.Crack propagation in C/SiC composites was studied by computerized tomography(CT)technique.In the 2D plain C/SiC composite,load propagation between layers is hindered during impact,leading to delamination and 90°fiber brittle fracture.The crack length perpendicular to the impact direction increases with impact energy increases,resulting in more serious 0°fiber fracture and a larger area of fiber loss.In the 3D needled C/SiC composite,load propagates between the layers during impact through the connection of needled fibers.The fibers continue to provide substantial structural support,with notable instances of fiber pull-off and debonding.Consequently,the impact resistance is superior to that of 2D plain C/SiC composite.When the 3D needled C/SiC composite undergoes two successive impacts of 1.5 J,the energy absorption efficiency of the second impact is significantly lower,accompanied by a smaller impact displacement.Moreover,the total energy absorption efficiency of these two impacts of 1.5 J is lower than that of a single 3.0 J impact.

文摘As a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries,silicon monoxide(SiO)suffers from dramatic volume changes during cycling,causing excessive stress within the electrode and resulting in electrode deformation and fragmentation.This ultimately leads to a decrease in cell capacity.The trends of volume expansion and capacity change of the SiO/graphite(SiO/C)composite electrode during cycling were investigated via in situ expansion monitoring.First,a series of expansion test schemes were designed,and the linear relationship between negative electrode expansion and cell capacity degradation was quantitatively analyzed.Then,the effects of different initial pressures on the long-term cycling performance of the cell were evaluated.Finally,the mechanism of their effects was analyzed by scanning electron microscope.The results show that after 50 cycles,the cell capacity decreases from 2.556 mAh to 1.689 mAh,with a capacity retention ratio(CRR)of only 66.08%.A linear relationship between the capacity retention ratio and thickness expansion was found.Electrochemical measurements and scanning electron microscope images demonstrate that intense stress inhibits the lithiation of the negative electrode and that the electrode is more susceptible to irreversible damage during cycling.Overall,these results reveal the relationship between the cycling performance of SiO and the internal pressure of the electrode from a macroscopic point of view,which provides some reference for the application of SiO/C composite electrodes in lithium-ion batteries.

文摘Metal phosphides have been studied as prospective anode materials for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)due to their higher specific capacity compared to other anode materials.However,rapid capacity decay and limited cycle life caused by volume expansion and low electrical conductivity of phosphides in SIBs remain still unsolved.To address these issues,GeP_(3) was first prepared by high-energy ball milling,and then Ketjen black(KB)was introduced to synthesize composite GeP_(3)/KB anode materials under controlled milling speed and time by a secondary ball milling process.During the ball milling process,GeP_(3) and KB form strong chemical bonds,resulting in a closely bonded composite.Consequently,the GeP_(3)/KB anodes was demonstrated excellent sodium storage performance,achieving a high reversible capacity of 933.41 mAh·g^(–1) at a current density of 0.05 A·g^(–1) for a special formula of GeP_(3)/KB-600-40 sample prepared at ball milling speed of 600 r/min for 40 h.Even at a high current density of 2 A·g^(–1) over 200 cycles,the capacity remains 314.52 mAh·g^(–1) with a retention rate of 66.6%.In conclusion,this work successfully prepares GeP_(3)/KB anode-carbon composite for electrodes by high-energy ball milling,which can restrict electrode volume expansion,enhance capacity,and improve cycle stability of SIBs.

文摘The advancement of planar micro-supercapacitors(PMSCs)for micro-electromechanical systems(MEMS)has been significantly hindered by the challenge of achieving high energy and power densities.This study addresses this issue by leveraging screen-printing technology to fabricate high-performance PMSCs using innovative composite ink.The ink,a synergistic blend of few-layer graphene(Gt),carbon black(CB),and NiCo_(2)O_(4),was meticulously mixed to form a conductive and robust coating that enhanced the capacitive performance of the PMSCs.The optimized ink formulation and printing process result in a micro-supercapacitor with an exceptional areal capacitance of 18.95 mF/cm^(2)and an areal energy density of 2.63μW·h/cm^(2)at a current density of 0.05 mA/cm^(2),along with an areal power density of 0.025 mW/cm^(2).The devices demonstrated impressive durability with a capacitance retention rate of 94.7%after a stringent 20000-cycle test,demonstrating their potential for long-term applications.Moreover,the PMSCs displayed excellent mechanical flexibility,with a capacitance decrease of only 3.43%after 5000 bending cycles,highlighting their suitability for flexible electronic devices.The ease of integrating these PMSCs into series and parallel configurations for customized power further underscores their practicality for integrated power supply solutions in various technologies.

文摘In a high heat flux ablative environment,the surface temperature of aircraft rises rapidly,leading to traditional high thermal conductivity materials being ineffective at protecting internal metal components.In this study,continuous carbon fiber reinforced Li_(2)O-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)(C_(f)/LAS)glass ceramic composites doped with SiC particles(SiC_(p))were prepared by slurry immersion winding and hot pressing sintering.Effect of matrix crystallinity on ablative properties of the composites under ultra-high heat flux was investigated.By utilizing heat absorption and low thermal conductivity characteristics associated with SiO_(2)gasification within composite materials,both surface and internal temperatures of these materials are effectively reduced,thereby ensuring the safe operation of aircraft and electronic devices.Results indicate that the average linear ablation rate of composites doped with 10%(in mass)of SiC_(p)significantly decreases at a heat flux of 20 MW/m^(2).Transmission electron microscope observation reveals that the doped glass matrix exhibits increased crystallinity,reduced internal stress,and minimized lattice distortion,thereby enhancing the composites’high-temperature performance.However,excessive SiC_(p)doping leads to reduced crystallinity and deteriorated ablation performance.Ultimately,the average linear ablation rate of C_(f)/LAS composites with 10%(in mass)SiC_(p)at 20 MW/m^(2)heat flux is comparable to that of commercial carbon/carbon composites,accompanied by providing lower thermal conductivity and higher bending strength.This novel high-performance C_(f)/LAS composite is cost-effective,short-cycled,and suitable for mass production,offering promising potential for widespread application in ablation-resistant components of hypersonic vehicles.

文摘To enhance the overall performance of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine(RDX),a modification strategy for RDX via in situ coordination with monometallic polydopamine(PDA)coatings(PDA-Fe,PDA-Cu,and PDA-Pb)was developed.The thermal properties of pristine RDX and its modified variants(RDX@PDA-Fe,RDX@PDA-Cu,RDX@PDA-Pb)were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)and accelerating rate calorimetry(ARC).The impact sensitivity of these materials was evaluated via the characteristic drop-height method.The results demonstrate that PDA-metal metal coatings—formed through coordination between PDA and single metal ions(Fe^(3+),Cu^(2+),or Pb^(2+))—significantly enhance RDX′s thermal stability while attenuating its mechanical sensitivity.These coatings act as energy-absorbing barriers against external stimuli,effectively mitigating RDX′s sensitivity.Furthermore,they elevate RDX′s thermal stability by increasing its decomposition onset temperature and accelerating its decomposition kinetics.The monometallic coatings also catalyze RDX′s thermal decomposition and combustion,with Cu and Pb exhibiting particularly distinct catalytic effects.
文摘Plant roots are widely known to provide mechanical reinforcement to soils against shearing and further increase slope stability.However,whether roots provide reinforcement to loess cyclic re-sistance and how various factors affect roots reinforcement during seismic loading have rarely been studied.The objective is to conduct a series of cyclic direct simple shear tests and DEM numerical simulation to investigate the cyclic behaviour of rooted loess.The effects of initial static shear stress and loading frequency on the cyclic resistance of root-soil composites were first investigated.After that,cyclic direct simple shear simulations at constant volume were carried out based on the discrete element method(PFC^(3D))to investigate the effects of root geome-try,mechanical traits and root-soil bond strength on the cyclic strength of rooted loess.It was discovered that the roots could effectively improve the cyclic resistance of loess.The cyclic resistance of the root-soil composite decreases with the increase of the initial shear stress,then increases,and improves with the increase of the frequency.The simulation result show that increases in root elastic modulus and root-soil interfacial bond strength can all enhance the cyclic resistance of root-soil composites,and the maximum cyclic resistance of the root-soil composite was obtained when the initial inclination angle of the root system was 90°.

文摘The rising concern over electromagnetic (EM) pollution is re-sponsible for the rapid progress in EM interference (EMI) shielding and EM wave absorption in the last few years, and carbon materials with a large sur-face area and high porosity have been investigated. Compared to other car-bon materials, biomass-derived carbon (BC) are considered efficient and eco-friendly materials for this purpose. We summarize the recent advances in BC materials for both EMI shielding and EM wave absorption. After a brief overview of the synthesis strategies of BC materials and a precise out-line of EM wave interference, strategies for improving their EMI shielding and EM wave absorption are discussed. Finally, the existing challenges and the future prospects for such materials are briefly summarized.
