In this study, the effect of MA on the role of pyrite on chalcopyrite bioleaching mediated by Acidithiobacillus ferroxidans was investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, particle size distribution analysis, and electrochemical measurement. The results showed MA could significantly reduce the minerals particle size, and increase the specific surface area and surface energy of minerals. For example, the d50 of chalcopyrite reduced from 13.40 to 0.31 μm after MA. The copper extraction of mixed MA-chalcopyrite and MA-pyrite system was 63.4%, which exhibited a 51.8% enhancement compared to the non-activated mixed system. Electrochemical experiments identified that the strengthening effect of pyrite on chalcopyrite dissolution was negligible before MA. After MA, the dissolution mechanism of chalcopyrite was not changed, and pyrite could not only provide additional oxidants (acids and iron) but also act as the cathode in the galvanic couple. In this case, the bioleaching of chalcopyrite was accelerated. Therefore, a model of the promotion effect of mechanical activation on the role of pyrite on chalcopyrite bioleaching was proposed.展开更多

文摘The undrained mechanical behavior of unsaturated completely weathered granite(CWG)is highly susceptible to alterations in the hydraulic environment,particularly under uniaxial loading conditions,due to the unique nature of this soil type.In this study,a series of unconfined compression tests were carried out on unsaturated CWG soil in an underground engineering site,and the effects of varying the environmental variables on the main undrained mechanical properties were analyzed.Based on the experimental results,a novel constitutive model was then established using the damage mechanics theory and the undetermined coefficient method.The results demonstrate that the curves of remolded CWG specimens with different moisture contents and dry densities exhibited diverse characteristics,including brittleness,significant softening,and ductility.As a typical indicator,the unconfined compression strength of soil specimens initially increased with an increase in moisture content and then decreased.Meanwhile,an optimal moisture content of approximately 10.5%could be observed,while a critical moisture content value of 13.0%was identified,beyond which the strength of the specimen decreases sharply.Moreover,the deformation and fracture of CWG specimens were predominantly caused by shear failure,and the ultimate failure modes were primarily influenced by moisture content rather than dry density.Furthermore,by comparing several similar models and the experimental data,the proposed model could accurately replicate the undrained mechanical characteristics of unsaturated CWG soil,and quantitatively describe the key mechanical indexes.These findings offer a valuable reference point for understanding the underlying mechanisms,anticipating potential risks,and implementing effective control measures in similar underground engineering projects.

文摘The effects of different warm rolling(WR)reductions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low-Cr FeCrAl alloys at both room and elevated temperatures were investigated.The study revealed that when the WR reduction is small,it effectively refines the grains and forms a large number of subgrains in the matrix,while also inducing the dissolution of the Laves phase.This enhances the mechanical properties of FeCrAl alloys primarily through grain refinement and solid solution strengthening.Conversely,with larger WR reductions,the grain refinement effect diminishes,but a significant number of Laves phases form in the matrix,strengthening the alloys primarily through precipitation strengthening.WR exhibited a remarkable enhancing effect on the comprehensive mechanical properties at both room and high temperatures,with a signi-ficant enhancement in ductility at high temperatures.Notably,a 10%WR reduction resulted in the optimal overall mechanical properties at both room and elevated temperatures.

文摘The accepted doping ion in Ti^(4+)-site of PbZr_(y)Ti_(1–y)O_(3)(PZT)-based piezoelectric ceramics is a well-known method to increase mechanical quality factor(Q_(m)),since the acceptor coupled by oxygen vacancy becomes defect dipole,which prevents the domain rotation.In this field,a serious problem is that generally,Qm decreases as the temperature(T)increases,since the oxygen vacancies are decoupled from the defect dipoles.In this work,Q_(m) of Pb_(0.95)Sr_(0.05)(Zr_(0.53)Ti_(0.47))O_(3)(PSZT)ceramics doped by 0.40%Fe_(2)O_(3)(in mole)abnormally increases as T increases,of which the Qm and piezoelectric coefficient(d_(33))at room temperature and Curie temperature(TC)are 507,292 pC/N,and 345℃,respectively.The maximum Qm of 824 was achieved in the range of 120–160℃,which is 62.52%higher than that at room temperature,while the dynamic piezoelectric constant(d_(31))was just slightly decreased by 3.85%.X-ray diffraction(XRD)and piezoresponse force microscopy results show that the interplanar spacing and the fine domains form as temperature increases,and the thermally stimulated depolarization current shows that the defect dipoles are stable even the temperature up to 240℃.It can be deduced that the aggregation of oxygen vacancies near the fine domains and defect dipole can be stable up to 240℃,which pins domain rotation,resulting in the enhanced Q_(m) with the increasing temperature.These results give a potential path to design high Q_(m) at high temperature.

文摘Graphene nanoplatelets(GNPs)have attracted tremendous interest due to their unique properties and bonding capabilities.This study focuses on the effect of GNP dispersion on the mechanical,thermal,and morphological behavior of GNP/epoxy nanocomposites.This study aims to understand how the dispersion of GNPs affects the properties of epoxy nanocomposite and to identify the best dispersion approach for improving mechanical performance.A solvent mixing technique that includes mechanical stirring and ultrasonication was used for producing the nanocomposites.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to investigate the interaction between GNPs and the epoxy matrix.The measurements of density and moisture content were used to confirm that GNPs were successfully incorporated into the nanocomposite.The findings showed that GNPs are successfully dispersed in the epoxy matrix by combining mechanical stirring and ultrasonication in a single step,producing well-dispersed nanocomposites with improved mechanical properties.Particularly,the nanocomposites at a low GNP loading of 0.1 wt%,demonstrate superior mechanical strength,as shown by increased tensile properties,including improved Young's modulus(1.86 GPa),strength(57.31 MPa),and elongation at break(4.98).The nanocomposite with 0.25 wt%GNP loading performs better,according to the viscoelastic analysis and flexural properties(113.18 MPa).Except for the nanocomposite with a 0.5 wt%GNP loading,which has a higher thermal breakdown temperature,the thermal characteristics do not significantly alter.The effective dispersion of GNPs in the epoxy matrix and low agglomeration is confirmed by the morphological characterization.The findings help with filler selection and identifying the best dispersion approach,which improves mechanical performance.The effective integration of GNPs and their interaction with the epoxy matrix provides the doorway for additional investigation and the development of sophisticated nanocomposites.In fields like aerospace,automotive,and electronics where higher mechanical performance and functionality are required,GNPs'improved mechanical properties and successful dispersion present exciting potential.

文摘High-entropy alloys(HEAs)with multi-component elements have attracted significant interest since they exhibit numerous superior properties compared to traditional ones.These properties include significant energy release,remarkable fracture toughness,and high strength,making them promising candidates as energetic structural materials(ESMs).This paper summarizes the energy release mechanisms under dynamic impact and the mechanical behavior of TiZr-based HEAs,TiNb-based HEAs,andWbased HEA,including velocity threshold for energy release,chamber quasi-static pressure curve,energy release efficiency,interface reactions,and"self-sharpening".In addition,we propose future research directions for their energy release and mechanical behavior.
文摘The aim of this study is to address the issues associated with traditional magnetorheological fluid(MRF)dampers,such as insufficient damping force after power failure and susceptibility to settlement.In order to achieve this,a bidirectional adjustable MRF damper was designed and developed.Magnetic field simulation analysis was conducted on the damper,along with simulation analysis on its dynamic characteristics.The dynamic characteristics were ultimately validated through experimental testing on the material testing machine,thereby corroborating the theoretical simulation results.Concurrently,this process generated valuable test data for subsequent implementation of the semi-active vibration control system.The simulation and test results demonstrate that the integrated permanent magnet effectively accomplishes bidirectional regulation.The magnetic induction intensity of the damping channel is 0.2 T in the absence of current,increases to 0.5 T when a maximum forward current of 4 A is applied,and becomes 0 T when a maximum reverse current of 3.8 A is applied.When the excitation amplitude is 8 mm and the frequency is 2 Hz,with the applied currents varying,the maximum damping force reaches 8 kN,while the minimum damping force measures at 511 N.Additionally,at zero current,the damping force stands at 2 kN,which aligns closely with simulation results.The present paper can serve as a valuable reference for the design and research of semi-active MRF dampers.
文摘Design a precision electroplating mechanical structure for automobiles based on finite element analysis method and analyze its mechanical properties.Taking the automobile steering knuckle as the research object,ABAQUS parametric modeling technology is used to construct its three-dimensional geometric model,and geometric simplification is carried out.Two surface treatment processes,HK-35 zinc nickel alloy electroplating and pure zinc electroplating,were designed,and the influence of different coatings on the mechanical properties of steering knuckles was compared and analyzed through numerical simulation.At the same time,standard specimens were prepared for salt spray corrosion testing and scratch method combined strength testing to verify the numerical simulation results.The results showed that under emergency braking and composite working conditions,the peak Von Mises stress of the zinc nickel alloy coating was 119.85 MPa,which was lower than that of the pure zinc coating and the alkaline electroplated zinc layer.Its equivalent strain value was 652×10^(-6),which was lower than that of the pure zinc coating and the alkaline electroplated zinc layer.Experimental data confirms that zinc nickel alloy coatings exhibit significant advantages in stress distribution uniformity,strain performance,and load-bearing capacity in high stress zones.The salt spray corrosion test further indicates that the coating has superior corrosion resistance and coating substrate interface bonding strength,which can significantly improve the mechanical stability and long-term reliability of automotive precision electroplating mechanical structures.

文摘Mechanical activation (MA) is a significant pretreatment technique for enhancing the dissolution of mineral;however, its promotion effect on the role of pyrite during chalcopyrite bioleaching has not been elucidated up to now. In this study, the effect of MA on the role of pyrite on chalcopyrite bioleaching mediated by Acidithiobacillus ferroxidans was investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, particle size distribution analysis, and electrochemical measurement. The results showed MA could significantly reduce the minerals particle size, and increase the specific surface area and surface energy of minerals. For example, the d50 of chalcopyrite reduced from 13.40 to 0.31 μm after MA. The copper extraction of mixed MA-chalcopyrite and MA-pyrite system was 63.4%, which exhibited a 51.8% enhancement compared to the non-activated mixed system. Electrochemical experiments identified that the strengthening effect of pyrite on chalcopyrite dissolution was negligible before MA. After MA, the dissolution mechanism of chalcopyrite was not changed, and pyrite could not only provide additional oxidants (acids and iron) but also act as the cathode in the galvanic couple. In this case, the bioleaching of chalcopyrite was accelerated. Therefore, a model of the promotion effect of mechanical activation on the role of pyrite on chalcopyrite bioleaching was proposed.

文摘Microstructure and mechanical properties of aged Mg-10Gd-2Y-0.4Zr-0.4Ag alloy sheets prepared by different rolling routes were investigated.The results showed that the cross rolling aged(CRA)sheet possesses larger grain size than unidirectional rolling aged(URA)sheet due to the occurrence of dynamic recovery during rolling which reduces the dislocation density and delays dynamic recrystallization(DRX).The URA sheet has basal texture and RD favored texture while CRA sheet has multiple-peak texture.Both sheets precipitate β'phase and CRA sheet exhibits a stronger aging response.The CRA sheet has higher yield strength and tensile strength than URA sheet,with reduced yield strength anisotropy but increased tensile strength anisotropy.Taking into account different strengthening mechanisms,although the finer grain size of URA sheet enhances grain boundary strengthening,CRA sheet is more responsive to aging,leading to superior aging-precipitated phase strengthening and consequently higher yield strength.

文摘Basalt fibers/7075 aluminum matrix composites were studied to meet the demand of aluminum alloy drill pipes for material wear resistance.The composites with different basalt fiber additions were prepared by hot pressed sintering and hot extrusion.The mechanical properties as well as friction and wear properties of the composites were studied by microstructure analysis,tensile experiments,friction and wear experiments.The results showed that basalt fibers were oriented and uniformly distributed and led to local grain refinement in the alloy matrix.The hardness and elongation of the composites were improved.The friction coefficient of the composites increased and then decreased,and the maximum wear depth and wear amount decreased,then increased,then decreased again with the growth of basalt fiber addition.Meanwhile,the inclusion of basalt fibers mitigated the uneven wear of the extruded 7075 aluminum alloy.The value of wear depth difference of 7075-0.2BF was the smallest,and that of 7075-2.0BF was close to it.The maximum wear depth and wear volume the 7075-0.2BF and 7075-2.0BF were also the smallest.The inhibition of uneven wear by basalt fibers enhanced of wear resistance for 7075 aluminum alloy,which has reference significance for improving the performance of aluminum alloy drill pipes.

文摘In this study,a series of triaxial tests are conducted on sandstone specimens to investigate the evolution of their mechanics and permeability characteristics under the combined action of immersion corrosion and seepage of different chemical solutions.It is observed that with the increase of confining pressure,the peak stress,dilatancy stress,dilatancy stress ratio,peak strain,and elastic modulus of the sandstone increase while the Poisson ratio decreases and less secondary cracks are produced when the samples are broken.The pore pressure and confining pressure have opposite influences on the mechanical properties.With the increase of the applied axial stress,three stages are clearly identified in the permeability evolution curves:initial compaction stage,linear elasticity stage and plastic deformation stage.The permeability reaches the maximum value when the highest volumetric dilatancy is obtained.In addition,the hydrochemical action of salt solution with pH=7 and 4 has an obvious deteriorating effect on the mechanical properties and induces the increase of permeability.The obtained results will be useful in engineering to understand the mechanical and seepage properties of sandstone under the coupled chemical-seepage-stress multiple fields.

文摘The undercurrent research survey explores the roles of nonlocality and strain gradient size dependencies in nonlinear asymmetric buckling of shallow nanoscale arches having dissimilar end conditions through a numerical analysis.The arches,made from a functionally graded graphene nanofiller reinforced composite(FG-GNRC),are subjected to discretional radial concentrated loads along with converting of temperature.To account for the size dependencies,the exploration is carried out stemming from the nonlocal strain gradient theory(NSGT)in the sense of a quasi-2D parabolic shear flexible concept of curved beam.The material properties of the contemplated FG-GNRC sandwich are determined using the modified Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model.Subsequently,an extended isogeometric analysis(XIGA)is manipulated comprising insertion plus multiplication of knots to achieve the demanded lower continuity allocated to the integration between flexural and tangential reflexes.It is perceived that the both softening and stiffening concomitants assigned to the salient concentrated radial loads obtained by the developed NSGT-based XIGA diminish from the first upper limit to the second one,and then likewise from the first lower limit to the second one.Although,by becoming the upsurge in temperature higher,these softening and stiffening concomitants get more remarkable.

文摘Gypsum rocks are highly susceptible to mechanical deterioration under the coupled effects of wet-dry(W-D)cycles and flow rates,which significantly influence the stability of underground excavations.Despite extensive research on the effects of W-D cycles,the coupling influence of flow rates and W-D cycles on gypsum rocks remains poorly understood.This study investigates the mechanical behavior and deterioration mechanisms of gypsum rocks subjected to varying W-D cycles and flow rate conditions.Axial compression tests,along with nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)techniques,were employed to analyze the stress-strain response and microstructural changes.Based on the disturbed state concept(DSC)theory,a W-D deterioration model and a DSC-based constitutive model were developed to describe the degradation trends and mechanical responses of gypsum rocks under different conditions.The results demonstrate that key mechanical indices,elastic modulus,cohesion,uniaxial compressive strength(UCS),and internal friction angle,exhibit logarithmic declines with increasing W-D cycles,with higher flow rates accelerating the deterioration process.The theoretical models accurately capture the nonlinear compaction behavior,peak stress,and post-peak response of gypsum specimens.This study provides valuable insights for predicting the mechanical behavior of gypsum rocks and improving the stability assessments of underground structures under complex environmental conditions.

文摘This study investigates the shear mechanical responses and debonding failure mechanisms of anchoring systems comprising three anisotropic media and two anisotropic interfaces under controlled boundary conditions of constant normal load(F_(s)),constant normal stiffness(K),and shear rate(v).A systematic analysis of shear mechanical properties,the evolution of maximum principal strain field,and damage characteristics along shear failure surface is presented.Results from direct shear tests demonstrate that initial shear slip diminishes with increasing F_(s)and K,attributed to the normal constraint strengthening effect,while an increase in v enhances initial shear slip due to attenuated deformation coordination and stress transfer.As F_(s)increases from 7.5 to 120 kN,K from 0 to 12 MPa/mm,and v from 0.1 to 2 mm/min,the peak shear load increases by 210.32%and 80.16%with rising F_(s)and K,respectively,while decreases by 38.57%with increasing v.Correspondingly,the shear modulus exhibits,respectively,a 135.29%and 177.06%increase with rising F_(s)and K,and a 37.03%decrease with larger v.Initial shear dilation is identified as marking the formation of shear failure surface along anisotropic interfaces,resulting from the combined shear actions at the resin bolt interface,where resin undergoes shear by bolt surface protrusions,and the resin-rock interface,where mutual shear occurs between resin and rock.With increasing F_(s)and K and decreasing v,the location of the shear failure surface shifts from the resin-rock interface to the resin-bolt interface,accompanied by a transition in failure mode from tensile rupture of resin to shear off at the resin surface.
文摘This work aimed to(i)understand conventional and pulse gas tungsten arc welding(GTAW)of AZ31B,and(ii)explore high frequency welding(100 Hz-1500 Hz).GTA welding with alternating current(AC)and direct current electrode positive(DCEP)polarities yielded crack-free partial penetration welds for6 mm thick AZ31B alloy sheet.Welding under direct current electrode negative(DCEN)polarity with identical parameters as that for AC and DCEP resulted in full penetration welds that had microcracks.Defect-free full-penetration welds could be accomplished with pulse GTA welding using DCEN polarity at a pulse frequency of 1 Hz with a pulse duration ratio of 1:1.The resultant DCEN P 1:1 weld metal had a microstructure finer than the conventional DCEN weld.Welds produced with pulse duration ratios of 1:2and 1:4 lacked penetration but had a much finer microstructures because of the lower heat input.The arc constriction by the high frequency pulsing in the Activ Arc■-High frequency(AA-HF)mode welding was responsible for deeper penetration.Welds produced under DCEN pulsing and AA-HF conditions had hardness higher than conventional DCEN,DCEP and AC GTA welds,attributed to the finer microstructure.AA-HF GTA welding produced defect free deeper penetration welds with good microstructural features/mechanical properties and also gave an advantage of 50%enhanced productivity when welded at1500 Hz.

文摘The energy release of energetic composites is severely limited by the inert alumina(Al_(2)O_(3))layer on the surface of aluminum(Al).Polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)could eliminate Al_(2)O_(3)layer due to its highly electronegativity and oxidability of fluorine.However,adding PTFE particles would weaken interfacial interactions resulted in poor mechanical properties and interfacial exothermic reaction.Herein,a bridging Al-PTFE as fuel and interfacial reinforcing agent was added and used to prepare LLM-105/AlPTFE microspheres,achieving both high energy output and excellent mechanical properties.The energy release and combustion reaction performance of LLM-105/Al-PTFE microspheres are significantly improved due to high reaction heat and increased interfacial reaction area of Al-PTFE.The maximum pressure and pressurization rate of LLM-105/Al-PTFE microspheres are 164.06 kPa and 29.88 kPa/s,respectively,which are 40.11%and 16.67%higher than those of physical mixed samples.Furthermore,the tensile strength and compressive strength of LLM-105/Al-PTFE microspheres are 100.40%and 26.47%higher than those of LLM-105/Al.This work provides a new approach to improve the energy release and mechanical properties for energetic composites.

文摘Negative Poisson ratio(NPR)steel is a new material with high strength and toughness.This study conducted tensile tests at elevated temperatures to investigate the mechanical properties of NPR steel at high temperatures.The stress−strain curve,ultimate strength,yield strength,modulus of elasticity,elongation after fracture,and percentage reduction of area of NPR steel bars were measured at 9 different temperatures ranging from 20 to 800℃.The experimental results indicate that high-temperature environments significantly affect the mechanical properties of NPR steel.However,compared to other types of steel,NPR steel exhibits better resistance to deformation.When the test temperature is below 700℃,NPR steel exhibits a ductile fracture characteristic,while at 800℃,it exhibits a brittle fracture characteristic.Finally,based on the experimental findings,a constitutive model suitable for NPR steel at high temperatures is proposed.

文摘In order to obtain high-density dual-scale ceramic particles(8.5 wt.%SiC+1.5 wt.%TiC)reinforced Al-Mg Sc-Zr composites with uniform microstructure,50 nm TiC and 7μm SiC particles were pre-dispersed into 15−53μm aluminum alloy powders by low-speed ball milling and mechanical mixing technology,respectively.Then,the effects of laser energy density,power and scanning rate on the density of the composites were investigated based on selective laser melting(SLM)technology.The effect of micron-sized SiC and nano-sized TiC particles on solidification structure,mechanical properties and fracture behaviors of the composites was revealed and analyzed in detail.Interfacial reaction and phase variations in the composites with varying reinforced particles were emphatically considered.Results showed that SiC-TiC particles could significantly improve forming quality and density of the SLMed composites,and the optimal relative density was up to 100%.In the process of laser melting,a strong chemical reaction occurs between SiC and aluminum matrix,and micron-scale acicular Al_(4)SiC_(4) bands were formed in situ.There was no interfacial reaction between TiC particles and aluminum matrix.TiC/Al semi-coherent interface had good bonding strength.Pinning effect of TiC particles in grain boundaries could prevent the equiaxial crystals from growing and transforming into columnar crystals,resulting in grain refinement.The optimal ultimate tensile strength(UTS),yield strength(YS),elongation(EL)and elastic modulus of the SiC-TiC/Al-Mg-Sc-Zr composite were~394 MPa,~262 MPa,~8.2%and~86 GPa,respectively.The fracture behavior of the composites included ductile fracture of Al matrix and brittle cleavage fracture of Al_(4)SiC_(4) phases.A large number of cross-distributed acicular Al_(4)SiC_(4) bands were the main factors leading to premature failure and fracture of SiC-TiC/Al-Mg-Sc-Zr composites.
