The nano-SiO2 was dispersed into crylic acid resin by ultrasonic wave and high-energy ball milling, the influence of nano-SiO2 on shielding property of coatings was investigated. Relation between particle size distribution of original nano-SiO2 and its dispersal in water and alcohol after treatment were analyzed, respectively. The ultraviolet permeation rate of coatings filled with nano-SiO2 was detected by ultraviolet spectral photometer. And the particle size distribution of coatings was examined by TEM. The results show that particle size distribution is comparative convergence and smaller one order of magnitude after dispersal treatment. The size of most nano-SiO2 in coatings is smaller than 100nm, which indicates that the amount of nano-SiO2 in the resin is 20% （solid content of resin）, the permeation rate of ultraviolet of composite coatings decreases to 20%. The research of its excellent ultraviolet shielding property mechanism indicates minor size and high surface energy of nano-SiO2 can produce different absorption, reflection and scatter actions to different wavelengths.展开更多

文摘Whipple shields as sacrificial bumpers,safeguard the satellites against extremely fast,different-sized projectiles traveling through space in the low earth orbit.Typical Whipple shields comprise a front and rear plate,separated by a gap or space.Recent advancements have explored the use of foam,cellular cores,and alternative materials such as ceramics instead of aluminium for the plates.In the current work,the effect of including fluid cores(air/water)sandwiched between the front and rear plates,on the response to hypervelocity impact was explored through a numerical approach.The numerical simulation consisted of hypervelocity impact by a 2 mm diameter,stainless steel projectile,launched at speeds of 3 e9 km/s with a normal impact trajectory towards the Whipple shield.The front and rear bumpers,made of AA6061-T6,were each 1 mm thick.A space of 10 mm was taken between the plates(occupied by fluid).The key metrics analyzed were the perforation characteristics,stages of the debris cloud generation and propagation,energy variations(internal,kinetic and plastic work),temperature variations,and the fragmentation summary.From the computational analysis,employing water-core in Whipple shields could prevent the rear bumper perforation till 6 km/s,lower the peak temperatures at the front bumper perforation zones and debris tip,and generate fewer,larger fragments.

文摘A typical Whipple shield consists of double-layered plates with a certain gap.The space debris impacts the outer plate and is broken into a debris cloud(shattered,molten,vaporized)with dispersed energy and momentum,which reduces the risk of penetrating the bulkhead.In the realm of hypervelocity impact,strain rate(>10^(5)s^(-1))effects are negligible,and fluid dynamics is employed to describe the impact process.Efficient numerical tools for precisely predicting the damage degree can greatly accelerate the design and optimization of advanced protective structures.Current hypervelocity impact research primarily focuses on the interaction between projectile and front plate and the movement of debris cloud.However,the damage mechanism of debris cloud impacts on rear plates-the critical threat component-remains underexplored owing to complex multi-physics processes and prohibitive computational costs.Existing approaches,ranging from semi-empirical equations to a machine learningbased ballistic limit prediction method,are constrained to binary penetration classification.Alternatively,the uneven data from experiments and simulations caused these methods to be ineffective when the projectile has irregular shapes and complicate flight attitude.Therefore,it is urgent to develop a new damage prediction method for predicting the rear plate damage,which can help to gain a deeper understanding of the damage mechanism.In this study,a machine learning(ML)method is developed to predict the damage distribution in the rear plate.Based on the unit velocity space,the discretized information of debris cloud and rear plate damage from rare simulation cases is used as input data for training the ML models,while the generalization ability for damage distribution prediction is tested by other simulation cases with different attack angles.The results demonstrate that the training and prediction accuracies using the Random Forest(RF)algorithm significantly surpass those using Artificial Neural Networks(ANNs)and Support Vector Machine(SVM).The RF-based model effectively identifies damage features in sparsely distributed debris cloud and cumulative effect.This study establishes an expandable new dataset that accommodates additional parameters to improve the prediction accuracy.Results demonstrate the model's ability to overcome data imbalance limitations through debris cloud features,enabling rapid and accurate rear plate damage prediction across wider scenarios with minimal data requirements.
文摘It is one of the most effective ways to use laboratory long air gap discharges for investigating the fundamental process involved in the lightning strike.During the 1960s and the 1970s,the electro-geometrical method(EGM)and the rolling sphere method were developed base on the breakdowncharacteristics of negative long spark discharges,which have been widely used to design the lightning shielding system of transmission lines and structures.In recent years,the scale of the power facilities is increased dramatically with the rising of power grid's voltage level.The impact of upward connecting leader launched from those large-scale facilities on the lightning shielding performance cannot be neglected;otherwise,the validity of the EGM in the lightning shielding design of EHV and UHV transmission lines will be challenged.The research evolutions on the lightning striking distance,the lightning simulation experiments and the positive upward connecting leader process by using laboratory long sparks are reviewed and discussed in this paper.
文摘High nitrogen stainless steel with nitrogen content of 0.75%was welded by gas metal arc welding with Ar-N_(2)-O_(2)ternary shielding gas.The effect of the ternary shielding gas on the retention and improvement of nitrogen content in the weld was identified.Surfacing test was conducted first to compare the ability of O_(2)and CO_(2)in prompting nitrogen dissolution.The nitrogen content of the surfacing metal with O_(2)is slightly higher than CO_(2).And then AreN_(2)-O_(2)shielding gas was applied to weld high nitrogen stainless steel.After using N_(2)-containing shielding gas,the nitrogen content of the weld was improved by 0.1 wt%.As N_(2)continued to increase,the increment of nitrogen content was not obvious,but the ferrite decreased from the top to the bottom.When the proportion of N_(2)reached 20%,a full austenitic weld was obtained and the tensile strength was improved by 8.7%.Combined with the results of surfacing test and welding test,it is concluded that the main effect of N_(2)is to inhibit the escape of nitrogen and suppress the nitrogen diffusion from bottom to the top in the molten pool.

文摘The development of China’s space industry puts forward urgent requirements for high-performance debris shielding materials and high energy density rechargeable battery.In this review,the recent progress on debris shielding fibrous materials and high energy density Li-S battery are particularly summarized.According to the experimental results,basalt fibers and silicon carbide fibers were chosen as the effective filling shielding materials.The geometric structure of fabrics was also investigated.For the novel shielding materials,high-strength and flexible silicon carbide micro-nano fibrous membranes were designed and fabricated.The obtained membranes with excellent mechanical properties portend the potential applications in debris protection structure.Furthermore,the high specific energy lithium sulfur batteries have made remarkable progress in fundamental research and application research in recent years.In order to solve the key problems of polysulfides shuttle and slow redox kinetics in lithium sulfur battery,a series of transition metal compound@hollow carbon-based material as sulfur host with dual functions of catalysis and adsorption towards polysulfides were designed and constructed.The obtained Li-S pouch cells with high areal sulfur loading of 6.9 mg·cm^(-2)yield exceptional high practical energy density of 382 W·h·kg^(-1)under lean electrolyte of 3.5μL·mg^(-1),demonstrating the great potential of realistic high-energy Li-S batteries.
文摘Ar-N_(2)-O_(2)ternary shielding gas is employed in dissimilar welding between high nitrogen steel and low alloy steel.The effect of O_(2)and N_(2)is investigated based on the systematical analysis of the metal transfer,nitrogen escape phenomenon,weld appearance,nondestructive detection,nitrogen content distribution,microstructure and mechanical properties.There are two nitrogen sources of the nitrogen in the weld:high nitrogen base material and shielding gas.The effect of shielding gas is mainly reflected in these two aspects.The change of the droplet transfer mode affects the fusion ratio,N2in the shielding gas can increase nitrogen content and promote the nitrogen uniform distribution.The addition of 2%O_(2)to Ar matrix can change the metal transfer from globular transfer to spray transfer,high nitrogen base material is thereby dissolved more to the molten pool,making nitrogen content increase,ferrite decrease and the mechanical properties improve.When applying N2-containing shielding gas,arc stability becomes poor and short-circuiting transfer frequency increases due to the nitrogen escape from droplets and the molten pool.Performance of the joints is improved with N_(2)increasing,but internal gas pores are easier to appear because of the poor capacity of low alloy steel to dissolve nitrogen,The generation of pores will greatly reduce the impact resistance.4-8%N2content in shielding gas is recommended in this study considering the integrated properties of the dissimilar welded joint.
文摘The present status and development trends of nano-composite coatings were briefly introduced. The nano-SiO2 was dispersed into crylic acid resin by ultrasonic wave and high-energy ball milling, the influence of nano-SiO2 on shielding property of coatings was investigated. Relation between particle size distribution of original nano-SiO2 and its dispersal in water and alcohol after treatment were analyzed, respectively. The ultraviolet permeation rate of coatings filled with nano-SiO2 was detected by ultraviolet spectral photometer. And the particle size distribution of coatings was examined by TEM. The results show that particle size distribution is comparative convergence and smaller one order of magnitude after dispersal treatment. The size of most nano-SiO2 in coatings is smaller than 100nm, which indicates that the amount of nano-SiO2 in the resin is 20% （solid content of resin）, the permeation rate of ultraviolet of composite coatings decreases to 20%. The research of its excellent ultraviolet shielding property mechanism indicates minor size and high surface energy of nano-SiO2 can produce different absorption, reflection and scatter actions to different wavelengths.

文摘Shielding angle is one of the main factors influencing lightning performance of transmission lines,which always stays in the focus of the design and the evaluation of lightning protection.A formula for the improved shielding angle is proposed for evaluating the lightning performance in different terrains.The digital elevation model(DEM) is used to obtain the micro-topography data,such as the slope gradient,slope aspect,etc.The following results are obtained by analyzing the influence of topography factors on the improved shielding angle:(1) improved shielding angle non-linearly increases with the increase of the slope gradient and the slope aspect,(2) improved shielding angle is more sensitive to the slope gradient than to the slope aspect,(3) the improved shielding angle in the mountain terrains is much greater than the designed shielding angle.This may be the reason why the designed shielding angle is limited into the rational range,while the shielding faults occur frequently.

文摘Space radiation has been identified as the main health hazard to crews involved in manned Mars missions.Active shielding is more effective than passive shielding to the very energetic particles from cosmic rays.Particle motion in a magnetic field is studied based on the single-particle theory and Monte Carlo method.By comparing the shielding efficiency of different magnetic field configurations,a novel active magnetic shielding configuration with lower mass cost and power consumption is proposed for manned Mars missions.The new magnetic configuration can shield 92.8%of protons and 84.4%of alpha particles with E<4 GeV·n^(-1),when considering the passive shielding contribution of 10.0 g·cm^(-2) Al Shielding,the required magnetic stiffness can be reduced from 27 Tm to 16 Tm.The detailed analysis of mass cost and power consumption shows that active shielding will be a promising means to protect crews from space radiation exposure in manned Mars missions.

文摘The contradiction between flammability and packing density is the technical bottleneck for combustible smoke agent.Herein,polyurethane(PU)foams with flammability and resilience were prepared with polyol and isocyanate as raw materials by chemical foaming method,then compounded with metal powders,polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE),phthalic annychide(PA),etc.in a certain proportion and pressed into pyrotechnic grain to obtain eco-friendly combustion aerosols with compact density of about1.15 g/cm^(3).The resulting combustion smoke agent combined the advantages of PU foam and pyrotechnic with easy ignition,large smoke production,long duration and low environmental pollution.The transmittance of aerosols for 532 nm and 1064 nm lasers was close to 0,and the EMI SE reached up to65 d B and 35 d B in GPS band and X band,respectively.In addition,the resulting pyrotechnic grains exhibited good mechanical strength and elasticity for sample 1:25,with a compressive strength of22 MPa and an elastic modulus of 195 MPa.The resulting combustion smoke agent is expected to play a potential role in the field of electromagnetic damage and protection.

文摘Generally,the flow of a lightning impulse current from a grounding electrode into ground is a very complicated process determined by many factors.In order to analyze the mechanism of the impulse current dissipating in the earth from grounding electrode,the experiments that had been carried out by other authors almost used a single horizontal grounding wire or vertical grounding rod for sake of simplicity.However,in practical conditions,most of the grounding systems are constructed of grounding electrodes with branches in different directions.In this study,basing on the principle of dimensional similarity,impulse simulation experiments are performed on the common ground electrodes with conductor branches.This paper focuses on analyzing the impulse current dispersal regularity of different branches when injecting at one point.Comparing with the leakage current distribution of a single ground electrode,it is found that the leakage currents along the branches increase with the distance to the current feed point,and the more conductors near the injection point,the more uneven the leakage current distribution is.This work indicates that shielding effect should be taken into account when analyzing the impulse characteristics of grounding electrodes.

文摘To characterize the shielding effectiveness(SE) of materials against electromagnetic pulse(EMP) that cannot be adequately evaluated by traditional test methods,a transfer function model of SE is proposed.Using homemade broadband coaxial fixture,the SE of a metal fabric material against square-pulse and electrostatic discharge(ESD) EMP is tested in the time domain.The peak SE calculated from the test results matches well with that obtained theoretically.Based on the system identification theory,we propose the transfer function model of SE,which takes the square pulse and human body model ESD EMP data obtained in the tests as training data and takes the machine model as verification data,as well as a second-order expression of the transfer function.Using the transfer function model,the waveforms of the shield-penetrated square-pulse EMP and the ESD EMP are actually predicted.From the perspective of system identification,this accurate prediction of the shielded waveform of EMP provides a reliable way for evaluating SE of materials against EMP.
