Constructive solid geometry cylindrical primitive is taken as work piece and modeling is accomplished for it. Response surface methodology is used to design the experiments and obtain statistical models for build time requirements corresponding to different orientations of the given primitive in modeller build volume. Contour width, air gap, slice height, raster width, raster angle and angle of orientation are treated as process parameters. Percentage contribution of individual process parameter is found to change for build time corresponding to different spatial orientations. Also, the average of build time requirement changes with spatial orientation. This paper attempts to clearly discuss and describe the observations with an aim to develop a clear understanding of effect of spatial variations on the build time for Fused Deposition Modelling process. This work is an integral part of process layout optimization and these results can effectively aid designers specially while tackling nesting issues.展开更多

In an underground mine based on stoping method, orebody part(s) maximizing profit should be determined. This process is called stope layout optimization (SLO) and implemented under site-specific geotechnical, operational and economic constraints. For practical purpose, the design obtained by SLO shows consecutive stopes in one path, which assists in defining the mining direction of these stopes. However, this direction may not accommodate the spatial distribution of the ore grade: if the orebody orientation and mining direction differ, the value of the mining operation may decrease. This paper proposes an approach whereby paths in the SLO are defined as decision variables to avoid the cost of mining in the wrong direction. Furthermore, in the genetic-based formulation, which accounts for orebody uncertainty, a robust cluster average design process is proposed to improve SLO’s performance regarding metal content. A case study in narrow gold vein deposit shows that the profit of an underground mining operation could be underestimated by 25%-48% if the algorithm ignores stope layout orientation.展开更多

The different combinations included cyclic principal stress rotation (CPSR for short), cyclic shear with abrupt change of principal stress orientation (CAPSO for short) and cyclic shear with fixed principal stress orientation (CFPSO for short). On one side, under all these stress paths, samples have obvious strain inflection points and shear bands, and the excess pore water pressure is far from the level of initial effective confining pressure at failure. Stress paths of major principal stress orientation (α) alternating from negative and positive have quite different influence on soil's properties with those in which α is kept negative or positive. On the other side, due to the soil's strongly initial anisotropy, samples under double-amplitudes CPSR and CAPSO (or single-amplitude CPSR and CFPSO) have similar properties on dynamic shear strength and pore water pressure development tendency when α is kept within ±45°, while have quite different properties when α oversteps ±45°.展开更多

The results of the simulations show that crystallographic orientation has significant influence on the growth behavior of the void. Different active slip systems of the regions around the void cause the discontinuity in lattice rotation around the void, and the corner-like region is formed. In the case of the void located at grain boundary, large heterogeneous deformation occurs between the two grains, and the equivalent plastic deformation along grain boundary near the void in the case of θ=45^o （θ is the angle between grain boundary direction and X-axis） is larger than the others. Large difference of orientation factor of the two grains leads to large equivalent plastic deformation along grain boundary, and the unit cell is more likely to fail by intergranular fracture.展开更多

文摘Collective cell groups are organized to form specific patterns that play an important role in various physiological and pathological processes,such as tissue morphogenesis,wound healing,and cancer invasion.Compared to the behaviors of single cells that have been studied intensively from many aspects(cell migration,adhesion,polarization,proliferation,etc.)and at various length scales(molecular,subcellular,and cellular),the behaviors of multiple cells are less well understood,particularly from a quantitative perspective.In this talk,we present our recent studies of collective polarization and orientation of multiple cells through both experimental measurement and theoretical modeling,including cell behavior on/in 2D and 3D substrate/tissue.We find that collective cell behavior,including polarization,alignment,and migration,is closely related to local stress states in cell layers or tissue,which demonstrates the crucial role of mechanical forces in living organisms.Specifically,cells demonstrate preferential polarization and alignment along the maximum principal stress in the cell layer,and the cell aspect ratio increases with in-plane maximum shear stress,suggesting that the maximum shear stress is the underlying driving force of cell polarization and orientation.This theory of stress-driven cell behaviors of polarization and orientation provides a new perspective for understanding cell behaviors in living organisms and a guideline for tissue engineering in potential biomedical applications.Strikingly,we note that with regard to the polarization and alignment of collective cells,a typical feature of cell morphology is that the cells generally align along the edge of the pattern,which was called edge effect or boundary effect by assuming that the edge plays a role in cell alignment due to a phenomenon of chemistry.However,the edge effect is an obscure explanation.Here we showed that the edge effect could be explained by the theory of stress-driven cell behavior,i.e.,inplane stress-driven cell polarization and alignment.That is,the cell layer has a stress-free boundary condition at the edge,and thus the direction of the maximum principal stress should be precisely along the edge.According to the theory of stress-driven cell polarity,the cells then preferentially align with the edge of the cell layer,independently of the geometry of the pattern.Once there is a force-free condition at the edge or the boundary,the cells align along the edge of the pattern.Otherwise,the cell may not align with the edge;for example,the cells preferentially align in the radial direction of the wound because of the presence of the contractile force by the actin ring at the wound edge,which is in contradiction with the so-called edge effect but consistent with our theory of stress-driven cell polarity.

文摘The influence of crystallographic orientation on the void growth in FCC crystals was numerically simulated with 3D crystal plasticity finite element by using a 3D unit cell including a spherical void, and the rate-dependent crystal plasticity theory was implemented as a user material subroutine. The results of the simulations show that crystallographic orientation has significant influence on the growth behavior of the void. Different active slip systems of the regions around the void cause the discontinuity in lattice rotation around the void, and the corner-like region is formed. In the case of the void located at grain boundary, large heterogeneous deformation occurs between the two grains, and the equivalent plastic deformation along grain boundary near the void in the case of θ=45^o （θ is the angle between grain boundary direction and X-axis） is larger than the others. Large difference of orientation factor of the two grains leads to large equivalent plastic deformation along grain boundary, and the unit cell is more likely to fail by intergranular fracture.

文摘A redox-active monolayer on an optically transparent electrode constitutes a typical platform for spectroelectrochemical sensing.The necessity for its sophistication arises from the availability of multi-dimensional sensing signals.Simultaneous monitoring of the redox current and color change synchronized with the oxidation state change significantly enhances sen-sitivity and selectivity.This study aimed to elucidate the modification of an indium tin oxide(ITO)electrode with a viologen monolayer with an ordered orientation.Novel methods were developed to immobilize a viologen molecule bearing a car-boxyl group to form assembled monolayers through a condensation reaction using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-car-bodiimide with N-hydroxy-succinimide(EDC/NHS).In the two methods of immobilization,one utilizes a two-step process to firstly form an aromatic siloxane base layer and subsequently attach the viologen derivative through an amide linkage by post-amidation.The other employs a direct ester linkage between the hydroxyl groups of the ITO surface and the car-boxyl group of the viologen derivative.The latter method was also applied to immobilize a ferrocenyl group at a very short distance from the ITO surface.Potential-modulated UV-visible transmission absorption spectral measurement techniques with oblique incidence of plane-polarized light were employed to determine the orientation of the longitudinal axis of the reduced form of the viologen.The frequency dependence data of the potential-modulated transmission absorption signals were utilized to analyze the electron transfer kinetics.The performance of the two viologen-modified electrodes was com-pared to that of an ITO modified by post-amidation to the most commonly used base layer prepared with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane.

文摘Effect of flip chip bonding parameters on microstructure at the interconnect interface and shear properties of 64.8Sn35.2Pb microbumps were investigated in this work.Results show that the main intermetallic compound(IMC)at the interconnect interface is(Ni,Cu)_(3)Sn_(4)phase,and meanwhile a small amount of(Cu,Ni)_(6)Sn_(5)phase with a size of 50−100 nm is formed around(Ni,Cu)_(3)Sn_(4)phase.The orientation relationship of[-1-56](Ni,Cu)_(3)Sn_(4)//[152](Cu,Ni)_(6)Sn_(5)and(601)(Ni,Cu)_(3)Sn_(4)//(-201)(Cu,Ni)_(6)Sn_(5)is found between these two phases,and the atomic matching at the interface of the two phases is low.The highest shear force of 77.3 gf is achieved in the 64.8Sn35.2Pb microbump at the peak temperature of 250℃and parameter V1 because dense IMCs and no cracks form at the interconnect interface.Two typical fracture modes of microbumps are determined as solder fracture and mixed fracture.The high thermal stress presenting in the thick IMCs layer induces crack initiation,and cracks propagate along theα/βphase boundaries in the Sn-Pb solder under shear force,leading to a mixed fracture mode in the microbumps.

文摘The pure Mg with columnar crystals was prepared by directional solidification,and the effect of process parameters on the crystal orientation and tensile properties was studied.Moreover,the microstructure evolution during tensile deformation was analyzed by electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)technology.Furthermore,the slip within adjacent grains and grain boundary strain were discussed using the bicrystal model theory.The results show that the microstructure of the pure Mg at a pulling rate of 200μm/s is columnar polycrystal with growth orientation concentrated in<022ˉ5>,and no transverse grain boundaries can be seen.In addition,the Schmid factors(SFs)of basalslips in columnar crystals are higher than 0.43 under tensile stress.Moreover,the geometric compatibility factor of slip systems on both sides of grain boundaries is greater than 0.7,showing good strain coordination ability of grain boundaries.Therefore,the elongation of the directionally solidified pure Mg is as high as 53%at room temperature.
文摘Stab-resistant textiles play a critical role in personal protection,necessitating a deeper understanding of how structural and layering factors influence their performance.The current study experimentally examines the effects of textile structure,layering,and ply orientation on the stab resistance of multi-layer textiles.Three 3D warp interlock(3DWI)structures({f1},{f2},{f3})and a 2D woven fabric({f4}),all made of high-performance p-aramid yarns,were engineered and manufactured.Multi-layer specimens were prepared and subjected to drop-weight stabbing tests following HOSBD standards.Stabbing performance metrics,including Depth of Trauma(DoT),Depth of Penetration(DoP),and trauma deformation(Ymax,Xmax),were investigated and analyzed.Statistical analyses(Two-and One-Way ANOVA)indicated that fabric type and layer number significantly impacted DoP(P<0.05),while ply orientation significantly affected DoP(P<0.05)but not DoT(P>0.05).Further detailed analysis revealed that 2D woven fabrics exhibited greater trauma deformation than 3D WIF structures.Increasing the number of layers reduced both DoP and DoT across all fabric structures,with f3 demonstrating the best performance in multi-layer configurations.Aligned ply orientations also enhanced stab resistance,underscoring the importance of alignment in dissipating impact energy.
文摘Oriented graphene aerogels have limited applica-tions because the flexibility of their graphene sheets and mi-crostructure give them a low skeleton strength,insufficient compression resilience,and poor flexibility.We report the preparation of novel aerogel materials with a much better per-formance.Using the driving force of graphene oxide(GO)self-assembly andπ-πinteractions,carbon nanotubes(CNTs)were attached to the GO sheets,and an oriented composite carbon skeleton was constructed using“hydro-plastic foam-ing”.The introduction of CNTs significantly increased the strength of the skeleton and gave the aerogel an excellent re-versible compressibility.The innovative use of cold pressing greatly improved the thermal conductivity and flexibility of the aerogel,providing new ideas for the development of high-performance aerogels.Tests show that the obtained graphene composite aerogel has a reversible compressive strain of over 90%and can withstand 500 compression cycles along the direc-tion of pore accumulation.It can endure more than 10000 bending cycles perpendicular to the direction of composite carbon layer stacking,and its in-plane thermal conductivity reaches 64.5 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1).When filled with phase change materials,the high porosity of the carbon skeleton enables the material to have a high phase change filling rate,and its phase change enthalpy is greater than 150 J/g.Thanks to the exceptional flexibility of the carbon skeleton,the macrostructure of phase change materials can be bent as needed to adapt to thermal management scenarios and conform to device shapes.This significantly enhances practical application compatibility,providing flexible support for temperature control and thermal management across diverse device forms.
